Hope is a good breakfast, but it is a bad supper.

Truth will sooner come out of error than from
confusion.

A prudent question is one-half of
wisdom.

If a man will begin with certainties,
he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts he shall
end in certainties.

Read not to contradict and confute, nor
to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh
and consider.

Natural abilities are like natural
plants, that need pruning by study; and studies themselves do give forth
directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by
experience.

If any human being earnestly desires to
push on to new discoveries instead of just retaining and using the old; to win
victories over Nature as a worker rather than over hostile critics as a
disputant; to attain, in fact, clear and demonstrative knowledge instead of
attractive and probable theory; we invite him as a true son of Science to join
our ranks.

lucu deh…

idiom idiom yang sama, tapi dipakai berbeda. sebetulnya pengin nulis puisi yang romantis berpanjang-panjang, tapi nggak akan pernah selesai. lagian mo nulis tentang apa. cimone dan citraland? hahaha.. sms yang tidak pernah ada? nanti pasti ada yang protes. padahal kan lucu-lucu saja..

kalau liat blogs nya si AH, wah romantis abis. sementara aku selalu nulis puisi cinta yang gelap abis. seolah cinta itu sama dengan penderitaan.

tapi tetap lucu lah semua ini..

termasuk kok sempet-sempetnya nongkrong lama di warnet, cuma buat iseng-iseng baca blog orang. iseng-iseng bikin puisi spontan. iseng-iseng mempermainkan hidup sendiri. lha besok kan mesti ketemu customer? udah siap belon? hehehe.. belon siap tuh. kerjaan yang lain juga masih numpuk. beli buku belon dibaca. beli dvd belon ditonton. kamar belon diberesin. belon lagi soal mobil yang mesti diurusin asuransinya gimana. berapa duit yang mesti disiapin.

hidup memang lucu kok. pikiran yang melompat-lompat. perasaan yang berubah-rubah. skala waktu yang melar mengkerut. logika yang anti logika.

yg lebih lucu, sangat amat nggak jelas kenapa mesti ditulis di sini. supaya kalian baca? paling lucu, kenapa sih kalian baca? hehehe..

seharusnya aku tidak berada di sini
di dalam kemewahan
yang mengantarkan aku
dari satu titik ke titik lain

di luar sana
ada orang-orang yang berjuang
menghidupi hidup
miliknya
malah juga milik orang-orang

tapi aku tetap saja berada di sini
dalam kemewahan,
kecepatan,
kuasa seolah aku pegang kuasa.
kupikir ini semua berhak kumiliki
karena aku telah berikan lebih.

lebih dari siapa? aku tahu
aku mulai bohong
pada diriku sendiri.

tapi kunikmati juga
seolah aku pandai berbohong.

duh, bodohnya aku.

-jakarta, 8 Agustus 05-

I am moving back to my ex company.

Is this the right decision? Only God knows, but let me say I have considered a lot of it. Actually my considerations go further than what they appear. I need to contribute my talents, I need to develop people  around me. I need to be exposed to greater challenge. I need to say (some time before I die) that I have done a lot of things in my life; for my beloved ones, my friends, my company, my country,  my enemies (do I have any?), and my God. Is this what life suppose to be? Take your decision using your heart, after you spend a lot of time thinking about it with your head.

However, the other side is pragmatic reason. I only take what I need right now. I don’t know what I will need next 2 years or later. Will I need to move again? I hope not. But I can not promise anyone what I can not control. The future is not mine. Not yet.

So, only God knows.

Everyone has their dark side, don’t they? That applies to me too, doesn’t it?

Last night my friend and me talked while we were driving to his house. He told me some dark sides of him, and allow me to say it is darker than what I already know about him. And I told him mine too. My dark side, which (also) is darker than what he know.

Everyone has their dark side.

Could I meet one special person who knew me as a whole? Admire me of my bright and brighter side, while accepting my dark and darker side? Then we can be just like fish in water.

The same old story…
hmm made me think of "as time goes by".

It’s still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

Everyone has to face it. Just the same old story to me. Just another same old story to me.

Look for a long time at what pleases you, and a longer time at what pains
you.
