Another Note to Boyfriend

-

bukan semata-mata karena lagi ditinggal mama ke luar kota, bukan juga karena maag lagi kambuh melanda, apalagi karena capek kerja, but I felt like I bloody wanted to write. 

I never knew what was in my boyfriend's head when he sent me pictures of him being in Emirates Stadium. Most boys, regardless with football-enthusiastic girlfriends or not, are going to be totally reckless and careless about any other things when it comes to their favourite football team. My boyfriend? So not!!!

He had the time to tell me how it went: Giroud versi aku!


I was honestly exhausted from work and fell asleep immediately after I hit the bed. I skipped dinner and I still managed to hear his voice before I went to sleep. I tell you what? There's this difference between sending a voicenote when you really mean it, and the live phone call one when you're not in the mood; voicenote wins! Too great, my boyfriend has this amazing voice recorded with full-heart to me the nights before, and when I hear it, I feel like he is actually around me to say it right-away, directly to me. It worked, I fell asleep very tight!


You know what's better that night? It's when I woke up later that night (yeah, screw the stomachace) and I found his PDA twitter update to me!!! HOW DRAMATICALLY SENSITIVE AND FULL LOVING MY BOYFRIEND IS!!! Ok, well, I think it's just my type of 'great-you-love-me-that-much-and-I-feel-so-blessed' happiness and favourite, especially that we are away. BUT STILL, I am so very relieved that at the end of the tiring week, it's me that he's thinking of.

Add caption: Well, what caption suits this better? I LOVE HIM SO MUCH?



Shit, I don't know why I type something like this at 3 AM Indonesian time while my stomach's rumbling and I'm gonna have an early morning run later. I hope I don't sound cheesy afterall, but I should really justify this: I CANNOT STAND TO TELL THE WORLD THAT I HAVE THE BEST BOYFRIEND AND I AM SO LUCKY TO BE LOVED BY HIM!



Dear boyfriend,
if you could love me this much, then I would love you very much more than that.
You'll see. XXX.

Renungan Transjakarta Sore Ini

Di balik kaca jendela bus, aku melihat bukan hanya jalanan, tapi juga bayangan diriku sendiri — perempuan dengan banyak peran dan warna. Ada hari-hari di mana aku merasa seperti tokoh utama yang kuat. Tapi jauh lebih sering, aku merasa seperti pemeran figuran dalam hidupku sendiri — sibuk memenuhi kebutuhan semua orang, sampai lupa bertanya:  “Apa kabarmu hari ini, wahai diriku?” Perempuan sering kali diharapkan jadi segalanya. Ibu yang lembut, istri yang sabar, anak yang berbakti, pekerja yang profesional, guru yang inspiratif, sahabat yang bisa diandalkan. Di antara semua itu, ada tumpukan cucian, tugas anak sekolah, deadline kerjaan, dan tangisan tengah malam. Rasanya seperti nonton pertunjukan sirkus — tapi akulah si pemain akrobat yang berjalan di tali sambil juggling piring, mencoba seimbang tanpa jatuh. Overwhelmed? Tentu. Tapi anehnya, aku juga bersyukur. Karena di balik lelahnya banyak peran, ada cinta yang menguatkan. Ada doa yang tak terdengar. Dan ada kekuat...

Why Making Everything Digital Is Important

— And Why You Should Care About How It’s Stored and Shared Yesterday, I caught up with an old friend over coffee — someone I deeply admire for her work in the field of marketing and communication consultancy. She’s currently handling a crisis case involving a public figure whose academic credentials are being questioned. But the twist is: her client isn’t the public figure — it’s the institution that's now under scrutiny. People are asking: “Is it true this person graduated from your university?” - What makes it tough, she told me, is the absence of a reliable digital trail. “Back then,” she said, “the graduation records were still paper-based. There were no standardised digital archives, no traces and solid online proof of verified diplomas, no university portal like the ones we see today.” In short, the institution can’t provide a verifiable digital proof, even though the person may well have graduated legitimately. And now, they’re paying the price in credibility. That conversa...

Romantisme Allah Lewat Azan: Panggilan Mesra dari Langit

-
Image
Pernah nggak sih, kamu lagi sibuk banget—entah itu kerjaan numpuk, anak-anak ribut, hati lagi nggak karuan—tiba-tiba terdengar suara azan? Dan entah kenapa, dadamu terasa seperti ditarik… pelan, lembut, tapi dalam. Itulah azan. Panggilan mesra dari Allah. Seruan cinta dari langit untuk hati yang sering lelah. Azan itu bukan sekadar tanda waktu salat. Lebih dari itu, ia adalah surat cinta lima kali sehari dari Tuhan yang nggak pernah lelah menunggu kita pulang. Di saat semua hal duniawi membuat kita lupa arah, Allah dengan sabar mengirim azan—mengundang kita kembali ke pangkuan-Nya. “ Hayya ‘ala ash-shalah…” Mari, datang ke shalat. Bukankah itu terdengar seperti, “ Ayo, sini… istirahat dulu. Ceritakan semuanya pada-Ku.”? Dan saat kita dengar: “ Hayya ‘ala al-falah…” Kita diingatkan bahwa kemenangan, kebahagiaan sejati, bukan di notifikasi media sosial atau gaji bulanan. Tapi di sujud yang sunyi, di air mata yang jatuh di sajadah. Bahkan setan pun takut saat azan berkumandang...
