Akhir-akhir ini saya sering travelling. Melihat bermacam2 orang di airport dari beragam ras, suku dan bangsa.
Suatu saat, di airport luar negeri.. saya sedang berjalan menuju gate, sampai tiba2 menggelegar suara tawa yg begitu khas, memecah keheningan. Dalam hati saya berkata "ah, pasti orang Indonesia". Dan tak lama berselang, terdengar sekilas perbincangan mereka. Ah, tepat tebakan saya. Memang orang Indonesia.
Dari sana saya jadi berpikir, memang yah setiap orang / karakter itu memiliki keunikannya sendiri. Kadang, dari gelak tawa saja, kita bisa menebak apakah itu orang Indonesia, Eropa, Australia, Chinnese, atau bahkan Indian.
Apakah demikian halnya dengan lesbian? Ataukah, itu yg disebut dengan gaydar? Apakah itu sebabnya orang yg sering atau sudah lama berkutat di komunitas sering mengatakan "gaydar gua makin lama makin keasah nih". Yang maksudnya, semakin lama mereka terjun di komunitas, semakin kuat pula gaydar mereka.
Memang, semua punya keunikan sendiri-sendiri. Lesbian pun begitu. Nah.. tapi, kalau saya ditanya; gimana sih membedakan nya? Atau apa sih keunikannya?
Well, I can only answer you, don't think about it... Just feel it :)

You and I
Chris Brown feat. Keri Hilson - Superhuman
Weak
I have been crying and crying for weeks
How'd i survive when i can barely speak
Barely eat, On my knees
But that's the moment u came to me
I don't know what your love has done to me
Think I'm invisible
I see though the me I used to be
Reff:
You changed my whole life
Don't know what you're doing to me with your love
I'm feeling all super human, you did this to me
A super human heart beats in me
Nothing can stop me here with you
Super human
Strong
Since i've been flying and righting the wrongs
Feels almost like i've had it all along
And i can see tomorrow
Where is problem is gone because
I flew everywhere with love inside of me
It's unbelievable to see how love can set me free
(Reff)
It's not a bird, not a plane
It's my heart and it's going, gone away
My only weakness is you
Only reason is you
Every minute with you
I feel like I can do anything
Going going, I'm gone away! Love..

You..
came without warning
You..
gave me the sweetest smile and since then, that smile has never leave my heart
You..
who always able to find a way to calm and pacify me, even when the whole world is going crazy
You..
filled my day and nights with happiness. (It's always you..)
You..
the one who is always there for me
the one who lend an ear and a shoulder for me to rely on
You..
always be the first to catch me when I fall, and carry me to a place where it's safe
You..
always sees the best in me and accept me as I am
I..
learn to cry in your arms and let go of all my defenses
I..
learn to love and be loved as a whole, with you
I..
still have that butterfly in me, whenever you speak my name
I..
am truly grateful that you came to my life
I..
feel like I can do anything with you by my side
feel like a superhuman
I..
have found that missing piece, cos you complete me
and I..
promise you all my love and devotion
Baby, I know the road hasn't been easy and there will still be more rocky roads ahead. But because you are here, I know that there is nothing more to fear. You have put back the missing puzzles in my heart and you comfort it with love and tenderness. Thank you is just not enough for all that you have given me. You've made me a better person.
To you.. I bestow my love and my life, my dear 'B'.
For always,
Your 'P' :)

Anger Management
Anu: Ibuuw, lu ga pernah marah ya?
Via: heh? Marah? Ya pernah lah.. gelo kali kalo gua ga pernah marah. Mang robot? :P
Anu: Sumpeh lo bu? kayak apa? gua ga pernah liat lu marah2x
Via: Ga lah, jarang-jarang kok kalo gua marah, itupun kalo uda keterlaluan banget. Dulu malah gua ga bisa marah sama sekali. Hahaha sekarang uda mendingan loh! Uda bisa marah :P
Anu: Mank siapa yang pernah lu marahin?
...
...
.. and so on.. and so on..
Itulah pembicaraan soreku dengan seorang teman lama, beberapa waktu lalu. Topic of the day, "Anger Management".
Entah mengapa dia tiba-tiba melontarkan pertanyaan yang satu itu, tapi itu membuatku berpikir.. Iya, memang.. kalau dibandingkan dengan 5 tahun lalu, aku sedikit banyak telah berubah. Dulu aku tidak pernah bisa, bahkan berpikir marah pun tak sanggup. Tapi sekarang, kalau ada yang menyerobot mobil, atau ada hal yang tidak "benar", aku bisa ngedumel sendiri.. Untung ngedumelnya sendiri, kalo didepan orang-orang.. bisa dikira gila kali hehehe
Aku pikir, marah itu wajar kok. Marah merupakan sebuah bagian dari emosi manusia, dan mengeluarkan amarah -seperti kata para ahli- juga baik untuk kita, daripada dipendam di dalam hati. Hanya saja, marah yang baik itu juga terkontrol. Kadang, kalau amarah itu tak terkontrol, pada akhirnya terjadi penyesalan, kita bisa mengeluarkan kalimat yang semestinya tidak kita keluarkan atau melakukan hal yang tidak semestinya kita lakukan.
Melalui pengalaman, aku mulai belajar mengontrol amarah. Bukan memendamnya.. tidak, tapi mengontrolnya.
Hidup ini saja sudah cukup complicated, ditambah lagi dengan tanggung jawab kita yang semakin lama semakin besar, setiap hari kita akan selalu diuji dan dipancing secara emosional. Nah, dari situ juga kematangan kita diuji.
Kemarin aku baca tulisan Samuel Mulia di koran Kompas yang berjudul "Mati". Walaupun seluruh bagian dari parodi itu menarik, ada 1 bagian yang menarik perhatianku:
Setelah membaca bagian itu, saya langsung berkata dalam hati, "hahaha.. hebat ini orang, pikirannya ga kayak orang biasa."
Nah, apa hubungannya penggalan itu dengan topikku ini? Ada. Tentu saja ada.
Kemarahan. Bisa jadi positive, bisa jadi negative. Jangan biarkan orang lain memancing amarahmu dan menjadikannya negative. Aku sendiri sedang belajar untuk mengubah amarah itu menjadi sesuatu yang positive. Sulit memang, tapi tidak ada salahnya mencoba. Percayalah, di dunia ini.. sebaik apapun kamu, pasti selalu ada orang yang akan mengkritikmu dan berusaha membuatmu marah. Seperti kata Samuel, mungkin saja di balik kata-kata "kritik membangun" itu ada sebagiannya yang sebetulnya ingin menjatuhkan. Who knows? So, just believe in yourself and don't easily get emotionally triggered.
Dan di sisi lain, kita harus selalu mengingatkan diri kita sebelum kita mencoba mengkritik orang lain. Apakah impactnya? Apakah memang betul diperlukan? Karena, mencoba memancing amarah orang lain hanya untuk menarik perhatiannya, bukanlah sesuatu yang mulia, masih banyak cara lain untuk menarik perhatian orang lain.
Dan ketika antrian kita diserobot orang lain, atau mobil kita dipotong oleh mobil lain, atau ketika orang lain melakukan kesalahan kecil, pikirlah ini.. "apakah kita tidak pernah menyerobot juga? apakah kita tidak pernah melakukan kesalahan juga? apakah memang kita lebih baik daripada dia?". Mungkin dengan begitu, kita bisa lebih mengontrol kemarahan kita.
Good luck in your anger management!

Kritik membangun? Saya tak percaya itu. Kritik itu negatif sifatnya dan belum lagi mengutarakannya dengan cara yang membuat jantung deg-degan. Sementara membangun itu positif, bagaimana keduanya bisa dijadikan satu? Bukankah sama saja sia-sianya menyatukan siang dan malam?
Mungkin karena saya takut dikritik, penjelasan di atas itu hanya bisa-bisanya saya saja. Saya takut karena membangun itu kemungkinan juga berarti menjatuhkan dengan cara mulia. Itu pengalaman saya. Saya pernah mengkritik yang tampaknya membangun, tetapi di baliknya hanya punya niat satu, menjatuhkan.

I Learn.. (Part II)
Sudah 3 tahun berlalu sejak si bocah polos itu melanglang buana di dunia lesbian, dan hampir 2 tahun berlalu sejak dia berbagi pengalamannya di tulisan I Learn..
Sekarang, si bocah sudah beranjak dewasa. Banyak hal yang telah ia lalui, sedih, kesal, sesal, haru, senang, bahagia.. semua menambah pengalaman hidupnya. Bukan hanya sekali dia ingin lari dan menyerah, dan bukan hanya sekali dia berjuang kembali. Pada akhirnya, dia bisa meraih impiannya.
Seperti cerita dalam buku The Alchemyst karangan Paulo Coelho.. di cerita itu si bocah gembala berhasil menemukan hartanya setelah perjuangannya meraih impian dan melanglang buana ke negeri yang tidak pernah ia datangi sebelumnya. Dalam perjalanannya itu pun, dia berjumpa dengan orang-orang baik yang membantunya dan orang-orang jahat yang menipunya. Di akhir cerita, dia menemukan hartanya, menemukan sahabat dan menemukan seorang wanita istimewa yang menjadi pasangan hidupnya.
"Kisah yang indah", pikir si bocah ketika selesai membaca halaman terakhir dari buku itu. Kemudian dia memikirkan hidupnya dan kisah perjalannya melanglang buana di komunitas yang tidak pernah ia datangi sebelumnya.
Ya, mungkin tidak jauh berbeda. Dan tanpa dia sadari, mungkin si bocah telah menemukan harta yang selama ini dia cari. pengalaman yang berharga dan orang-orang yang berarti.
Dan beberapa pelajaran yang dapat dipetiknya:
6. Alam mempunyai kekuatan yang luar biasa, selalu lihat pertanda yang mereka berikan.
7. Ketika kamu percaya dan yakin, segenap alam semesta akan membantumu meraih impianmu.
8. Dengarkan kata hatimu, terkadang dia berbisik pelan.. tapi coba dengarkan.
9. Cinta bisa datang begitu saja, kapan saja dan kepada siapa saja.
10. Jangan berhenti meraih impianmu, karena mungkin suatu saat kamu akan melihat kembali hidupmu dan menyesal karena tidak pernah melakukannya.

2.5 Years of Satupelangi.com
"I will help you as long as you need me."
Gosh! That one sentence really makes it all worthwhile. No matter how hard it has been, no matter how much time and effort that we have put in to make, built and maintain this website.. that simple sentence just makes it all worthwhile. It surely brightens up the long and hard day. Thank you for the continuous support.
You see, when I first decided to make this website, I have this thought in my mind.. that how simple things can change somebody's life. And how people always need a friend at the end of the day. Thus, I believe that a simple website can also change somebody's life (to be better, I hope).
I believe in this virtual world, you can meet all kinds of people. If you are lucky, you can meet those that might -even just a little- be your BFF (Best Friends Forever). Well, we'll never know.. But, I also believe that everyone have the right to feel peace and respect others the way they want to be respected.
Somebody PM'd me a few weeks ago, she told me that she met someone nice from the forum, and she said thank you. Mm, that kinda made me smile a bit. Why? Not because I'm becoming a successful matchmaker. Nope. But because, I am happy that in this forum, a good person can meet a good person. Ha! What can be better than that? Well, like I said.. sometimes, at the end of the day, all we need is a good friend and a good story to share, to laugh, and to remember..
People may come and go, and the memories they bring with them varies. But one thing I know, we will always be there.. always learning and trying to be better, time after time.
I know, no matter how hard we try, things will not always go smoothly. That's the process of learning. But I also believe that when people put their faith on you, you'll have the power to do things beyond what you ever imagined.
And today, we're changing to be better!
After you've done a thing the same way for two years, look it over carefully. After five years, look at it with suspicion. And after ten years, throw it away and start all over. ~Alfred Edward Perlman, New York Times, 3 July 1958

Friendship and Music
Someone once said to me, "i like the way you talk about friendships". Come to look at it, well yeah.. Most of the topic in this blog is about friendship.
If you ask me, I would say.. friendship is like music. There are music that we can instantly like, even if we only hear the first 3 seconds of it. There are some that we halt after hearing the first few seconds. There also the kinds that we have to listen for quite some time, over and over again, til we realize the meaning, and we starts to like it.
In certain times, we stop listening to our favorite musics and safely store it in our CD boxes or hard disks. And maybe some time in the future, we'll browse our collections and bump in to this song, the song that we used to like very much. And we'll put it in our music player and starts listening to it.. the melodies, the lyrics.. indulge us in reminiscence.
Some music can lift our spirit, make us feel energized, and some make us feel comfortable and relaxed, some other have melodramatic melodies, and it can make us feel sad and blue.
But, we can't live without music, like we can't live without friends..

Thank You
Secret Garden - THANK YOU
(lyrics by Brendan Graham)
If I lived to be a thousand years,
If I ruled the word – it’s hemispheres,
I could not repay the love you brought my way,
So, I want to say it now
To thank you for each day you gave me.
Chorus:
Thank you for the Mondays,
Saturdays and Sundays,
Everyday, the whole year through;
Thank you for the fun days,
All those number-one days,
Battles-to-be-won days, too;
I just want to say it,
Thank you for each day with…you.
We have just one life to seize the day,
We only have what time there is to say…
‘n’do what we must do, express our gratitude,
So, I want to say it and sing it now to you.
[Chorus]
At the close of every day,
When I close my eyes to pray,
All I need to do, is just to think of you…
Then, all I need to say…is…
[Chorus]

Sebelum tahun ini akhirnya berakhir, aku ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada malaikat-malaikat pelindungku yang tanpa kusadari, selama ini selalu berada di sana dan melihatku. Terima kasih karena selalu menjagaku, terima kasih karena selalu menjadi tempat aku berkeluh kesah, terima kasih karena selalu mengajari aku menjadi orang yang lebih baik, terima kasih karena selalu memberi aku kekuatan untuk tidak menyerah.
Dan kepada satu malaikatku yang paling spesial, terima kasih untuk setiap hari yang kau ceriakan. Terima kasih untuk setiap hari kita berbagi. Terima kasih untuk setiap hari ... bersamamu.
I know this smile is here, because of you..

Wishes
"I wish I can be slimmer"
"I wish she knew how I feel"
"I wish there will be no traffic jam"
"I wish it's not gonna rain today"
Does all that sounds familiar to you? Well, each of us has something that we wished for; every second, every minute and every hour of our lives. Big or small. Every wishes that we make are all in favor for a better, easier, and happier life.
Me myself too, made some wishes.. which I wanna share with you:
- Before I discover this marvellous L world, I kept on wishing I can find this special place where I belong, I kept on dreaming that someday I can meet people who is just like me. who is.. special.
- When I entered this world, I wish I can give back something to the community.. I wish I can help those people who have the same questions and confusions as much as I did. Those, who are looking for answers but can't find the way to it.
- When I finally have something that I can give, I wish that it can be helpful for everyone. I wish they can feel comfortable and happy. Thus, it will make me happy too.
- When I'm feeling hopeless and confused, I wish that I can get through the hard times and become a better person afterwards.
- When I fell in love with a girl, I wish she could just see what's inside of me, and she could've loved me the way that I loved her. I wish... she could be mine.
But things doesn't always happen exactly like what I'd wished for. Sometimes it's better, sometimes it's worse. No matter what, the wishes are always there.. giving me hope for a better life.
There's one story from a good friend of mine, which inspires me to write about "wishes":
The moral of the story is: Life is a journey and it's not just a sudden loop from one dot to another.
---
Well, every step in our life, every wishes we made, every hope that we have inside our heart. Everything! makes our life worthwhile. Life is a journey, and every journey isn't always gonna be flawless, sometimes we have to get through an ugly and winding road to get to our destination. Sometimes it even feels scary, but hey.. you gotta make it somehow, cos there's no turning back. Time will never wait.
Oh, and yeah.. wishes do sometimes come true. So, becareful what you wished for! ;)

There's one story from a good friend of mine, which inspires me to write about "wishes":
It's about a 7 year old boy who found a magical necklace that can grant any wishes of the beholder. However, the wishes is like a time machine, it can only be done towards the future.
The first wish he made is, to become a teenager so that he can go anywhere and everywhere he wants without getting scold by his parents. *cring!*
He got it.. he is a free young man now. However, he is not satisfied. He wants to be an adult who has a stable job and making his own money. then again, *cring!* he got what he wished for. Now, he is a 30ish man and is married to a beautiful wife..
One day he was walking around the park and he sees a rich and successful man. He then thinks, "It's gonna be fun to be like that!" So, he made another wish. *cring!*
There, he became a 45 year old successful and rich man, and he had one grandchild. He enjoyed living in that life for a while. Until, he sees a much richer man who has many companies and doesn't even need to work anymore.
U guess? Yep! He made another wish to be a billionaire. *cring!*
In a blink of an eye, he became a 70 years old billionaire who owns many companies, a yacht and a private jet. He is happy at that time, and one day, he is travelling around the world in his yacht.
Suddenly, he feels so tired.. the body won't compromise. Most of his friends are old and dying. His parents and in-laws had passed away, so did his wife. His children are busy with their own lives. At that very moment, he realized he is alone and how lonely this world is. While, everything goes so fast, without him ever experiencing any ups and downs of his life. He got his wishes to easily and he took it for granted.
The moral of the story is: Life is a journey and it's not just a sudden loop from one dot to another.
