GREY AREA


One day a friend of mine came to me and randomly questioned, “How can I be possibly stayed in that grey area for a year?”, and all i have is a little bit twisted by her questioned.
Before I go any further, do you know what kind of ‘GREY AREA’ that I’m talking about?. ‘GREY AREA’ is a phase in a love life relationships which can be more destructive than you can imagine, at least that’s what I thought. Actually it’s more complicated than I thought.

One thing I know, bahwa moment ‘GREY AREA’ tidak pernah memandang waktu & tempat. It can coming close to you anytime. Dan biasanya dari sebuah hubungan tersebut, hanya ada satu pihak yang merasa sadar bahwa dirinya sedang berada pada zona ketidak pastian dalam suatu hubungan, sedangkan pihak satunya lagi tidak merasa apa-apa atau mungkin pura-pura tidak merasa apapun.

For example is miss Nina. Dia pernah merasa berada di dalam zona abu-abu untuk waktu yang cukup lama dan tanpa menyadarinya sampai akhirnya merasa jenuh sendiri dengan hubungan yang dibina bersama pasangannya.

I’m not an expert enough about love & relationships thingy. But for sure in this case of ‘GREY AREA’ lots of my friends has been through in this matters, including me. Sebenarnya apa sih indikasi dari hubungan yang sedang anda jalani sedang berada di ‘GREY AREA’?

Well, from my point of view biasanya karena hubungan yang dijalani sudah begitu MEMBOSANKAN. Ketika usia hubungan sudah memasuki setahun biasanya salah satu pihak sudah ada yang merasa jenuh. Hubungan yang adem ayem dan jarang mengalami konflik belum tentu aman dari ‘GREY AREA’, justru menurut saya hubungan seperti itu sangat rawan terjerumus ke dalam zona abu-abu tersebut.

Seseorang bisa langsung masuk ke ‘GREY AREA’ ketika dia menyadari bahwa ternyata selama ini dia tidak punya real feelings terhadap pasangan. In this case I found it in almost people I’ve met (read: friends). Tidak sedikit pasangan yang mengawali hubungan mereka dengan niat coba-coba. Ketika salah satu pihak menyatakan cinta, pihak satunya lagi yang awalnya biasa saja seringkali berpikir, “Ah yaudah deh gapapa, jalani saja. Toh dia orangnya baik”. Sifat baik memang menjadi dambaan setiap orang dalam mencari pasangan, tapi bukankah baik saja tidak cukup?

Sebuah hubungan tidak hanya dibangun atas dasar kebaikan. Masih banyak hal-hal lain yang dibutuhkan dalam membangun dan membentuk hubungan yang solid. Biasanya setelah beberapa lama seringkali salah satu dari mereka baru merasa hambar dalam menjalani hubungan. Dan inilah yang menjadi cikal bakal dari zona abu-abu. Jika sudah begini tentunya susah untuk memutuskan hubungan, karena rasa kasihan yang sudah terbangun sejak awal hubungan dimana rasa hambar dimulai.

Ketika sedang berada dalam ‘GREY AREA’ biasanya akan timbul pertanyaan dari diri sendiri, “Do I really want to be part of this relationship?”, “Do I really want this?”. Rasa hambar yang menghampiri akan menambah kebingungan yang sudah ada, “Sebenarnya masih ada rasa atau nggak sih?”, “Atau hanya kasihan ya?”. Memang cuma kita yang bisa menjawabnya.

Biasanya pihak yang berada di ‘GREY AREA’ akan merespon dengan berkata, “Ya udahlah, jalanin aja dulu, toh nggak tahu juga ujungnya akan kemana”. Menurut saya ini tidak fair bagi pihak yang satunya, karena sebenarnya ia berhak tahu apa yang ada di dalam hati & pikiran pasangannya.

Kejelasan sikap dan pendirian tentunya akan menolong kita untuk keluar dari zona abu-abu. Dan sebaiknya berpikirlah yang matang sebelum mengambil keputusan. Menentukan sikap adalah hal yang penting. “Do I want this relationship or not?”, “Stay or Go?”. Dan jika sudah mencapai keputusan yang bulat just do it! Do not hesitate because hesitation kills.

Just like I said in the beginning, ‘GREY AREA’ is the most dangerous zone that you can ever imagine. Jangan sia-siakan waktu dan hidup anda dengan berlama-lama berada di zona tersebut, karena hal ini cuma akan menyengsarakan anda saja. A wise man said, life is too good to be wasted!

BOYS DON’T CRY ?


Apakah tangisan memiliki arti negatif bagi pria? It’s a true story. Seorang pria pernah menangis di depan saya, menyatakan penyesalannya karena tidak berani mengejar wanita yang disukainya sejak dua tahun lalu. “Seharusnya saya tahu kalau waktu tidak akan menunggu saya. I’m pathetic in love,” kisahnya sambil menangis tesedu.

Spontan saya langsung bereaksi. “So what’s the point of crying? Kamu ngga malu menangis di depan umum, tepatnya di depan saya yang seorang perempuan? Apa ngga takut dibilang cengeng?”

Si pria berhenti menangis, malah balik bertanya, “Apa cowo menangis harus malu sama dirinya sendiri? Apa ada hukum yang menyebutkan kalau cowo gak boleh nangis, meski di saat terberat sekalipun?

Saya terdiam, jujur saya tidak punya jawaban. Kalau mau berempati teman saya ini memang layak dikasihani. Kehidupan percintaannya selalu dibayangi trauma besar. Ceritanya teman saya ini sudah pacaran sekitar lima tahun, tetapi ketika mendekati persiapan pernikahan (tepatnya seminggu sebelumnya) hubungan mereka berakhir karena perbedaan pendapat antara kedua keluarga. Lebih parahnya lagi ternyata si pasangan yang dicintainya ini ketahuan berselingkuh. Sejak itu teman saya ini tidak pernah mendekati wanita lagi karena trauma pernah dikecewakan. Dua tahun kemudian ia bertemu dengan perempuan yang berhasil membuatnya merasakan cinta lagi, tapi karena malu (dan tentunya trauma), ia pun ragu untuk mendekati. Alhasil, si wanita impian keburu naik pelaminan dengan pria lain.

Saya menganggap opini yang menyatakan pria itu harus tangguh itu benar. Apalagi pria cukup beruntung karena tidak memiliki siklus PMS yang menyertainya setiap bulan. Emosi dan moodnya seharusnya bisa terkontrol dengan baik. Tapi lepas dari opini pribadi, saya mencoba bersikap adil, pria dan wanita adalah manusia biasa. Sebagai individu yang punya hati dan perasaan, menangis adalah suatu hal yang wajar karena merupakan refleksi dari sisi emosional kita. Seketika itu saya mengerti. Pria menangis karena menonton peristiwa menyedihkan atau drama yang mengharu biru that’s okay. Atau pria yang menangis karena menyesal telat menyampaikan perasaan pada wanita yang dicintainya sejak lama, that’s really okay. Saya menyebut pria-pria ini memiliki hati.

Lalu seperti apakah pria cengeng? Saya punya pendapat sendiri. Pria cengeng bukan pria yang setiap saat terus menangis, tetapi lebih tepatnya pria yang selalu mengeluh setiap saat. Kejadian X membuatnya bersungut-sungut, kejadian Y membuatnya berteriak marah. Sering ngambek, selalu menanamkan rasa iri dalam hatinya terhadap kesuksesan orang lain, suka berdecak (taanda kesal) atau menghela nafas (tanda ketidakpuasan). Pria yang selalu melihat ke belakang dan tidak pernah bersyukur atas apa yang dimilikinya. Mungkin pria seperti inilah yang saya kasih label ‘pria cengeng’ karena tidak pernah berani menghadapi kenyataan di hidupnya, dan selalu berlindung dibalik ketidakpuasannya.

Untuk menyampaikan perasaan bersalah pada teman pria yang menangis di depan saya tadi, saya mengirimkan pesan singkat: “Setelah berpikir berulang kali, saya punya jawabannya: tangisan tidak berarti cengeng. You can stop for a while to cry it loud, but then forget it. Life is bigger than you think.”

When Words Meet Heartbeats


As I sat in a crowded room full of strange faces.
Soberly observing.
Imagining the mysteries behind each set of unrecognizable eyes.
I turned to see this smile.
A sparkle in his eyes.
In an instant our bodies were contiguous where.
Even over the thump.
Thump of the deafening beat.
Our hearts rang strong against one another.
Tangled together.
Strangers' stories lay neglected and forgotten.
A heap of mystery in a cold dark corner.
For this is the only story that matters.
It is kept safe and warm between our beating hearts.
Eyes locked.
We could not help but smile.
This is Love.
Might be.

it's getting deeper...i guess..




If we cud sit together a moment and talk forever just to pass the time,
I would smile as the shivers and chills run down my spine when your eyes are locked on mine,

If we could just be immobile for some time and finally figure out the way we feel,
About the missing puzzle pieces and cloudy question marks that still look a bit surreal,
Open your eyes and see everything you can be,
If you’re lost when you close your eyes, I’ll meet you there!

just haven't met you yet

I'm not surprised not everything lasts
I've broken my heart so many times
I stopped keeping track
I talk myself in
I talk myself out
I get all worked up then
I let myself down
I tried so very hard not to loose it,
I came up with a million excuses,
I thought of every possibility.
And I know someday
That it’ll all turn out you’ll make me work
So we can work to work it out
And I promise you that i’ll give so much more than i get
I just haven't met you yet
I might have to wait
I’ll never give up
I guess it's half timing

And the other's half’s luck
Wherever you are whenever it's right you’ll come out of nowhere
And into my life and i know that we can be so amazing
And baby your love is gonna change me
And now i can see every possibility
I just haven't met you yet..

Eventhough i'm in the middle of deadline which practically bores me, not to mention that effing client who takes hell of revised, it doesn't mean that i can't have a quality time with my blog *lol*.
Now i can't wait to take some time off and have a little treatment or massage. Gosh i need 'me time' and i need to sleep, the quality one.

flashback is sucks!

When i see him i completely fell apart.
Then suddenly i flew away into a year ago, when my days was filled with him.
After a break up, certain streets, locations, even times of day are off-limits.

The city becomes a deserted battlefield loaded with emotional land mines.
You have to be careful where you step or you could be blown to
pieces.
I'm sedated from my pain.

But wait..we've never been in a relationship, so i guess it's not a break up,
not even close anyway..
But flashback is sucks, really sucks!

the ice is getting thinner

We're not the same, dear, as we used to be
The seasons have changed and so have we
There was little we could say and even less that we could do
To stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you

We buried our love in the wintery grave
A lump in the snow was all that remained
But we stayed by its side, as the days turned to weeks
And the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we'd speak

When the spring arrived, we were taken by surprise
When the flows under our feet bled into the sea
And nothing was left for you and me

We're not the same dear and it seems to me
There's nowhere we can go with nothing underneath
Then it saddens me to say what we both knew was true
That the ice was getting thinner under me and you

The ice was getting thinner under me and you..

things inspire me today:

let's shall we.. i need it badly *lols*

Quote of The Day



A man never knows how to say goodbye and a woman usually don't know when to say it. So when a relationship is making you unhappy, maybe it's not meant to be, you just have to accept it and walkaway..


so let the sun shining..

stop it, i'm tired..



These days, i'm soberly observing about my love life..

It's pretty complicated actually,
And i feel compelled to share it..
It's always the same for me, break up break down.
Several times in love, several times broken heart, and made me realize that i'm not even in relationships with that guy. Yes, i'm telling the truth, i just love that guy but practically i didn't even show that to him. How pathetic..maybe.
But i just had an idea about how a guy should make a move first.
Sounds conservative you name it.., coz i'm kinda old-fashioned girl.
It's true that he bugs me almost 70% of my time.
Also true that i was afraid to show it, always..and always.
Till he had no clue at all how to deal with me, and just leave.
Just like my father did.
And you know what..i begin assuming, maybe it's a bad timing, or maybe he's just too 'into' me, or then again maybe he thinks that i don't really deserve him, well..it's just came out from my mind anyway.
I also think about..maybe..just maybe..i don't really love him anyway, maybe..i'm not sure of it.
Well finally there's a moment in life where you can't recover any more from another break-up.
I guess this is it.
Too many heartache not good for my health.
Here it is, more or less, another wasted love story.
Well my platonic guy..wishing you had a good life with that girl.

everything u can imagine is real

Go for her..
Don't sit there and wait for her to call,
go after her because that's what u should do if u love someone,
don't wait for them to give u a sign,
coz it might never come..
Don't let people happen to u,
don't let me happen to u,
or her,
she's not fucking television show or tornado,
u can't just sit there and do nothing and breathe into telephones is not
everyone's idea of love,
but this is the way i can recognize it because that is what i do.
Go scream it and be with her in meaningful ways,
because that is beautiful and that is generous,
and that is what loving someone is,
that is raw and that is unguarded,
and that is all that is worth anything, really..

-for the platonic friend-



Things comin' from my mind nowadays...

wow, where the hell is that comin' from? *lols*




hmm..this is so true isn't it?


yes please..that wud be great if u do that..


i need to capturing somethin'..

bore with people with nothing to say

Today i'm half asleep while i'm working out the script.
Anyway..did u know that it's hard when u don't have same interest with ur besties?
such as going to design exhibition or watching movies on theater.
I don't know how to explain it..
I thought friends should be together when they need each other.
*Sigh* it's pretty saddy when u knew it later on, since u've been bestfriends for like a years.

And my job is completely like unhandeled situations.
I wish it's just another bad dream, but it's not.
Well i think i just have to face any kind situations, especially in this madness office.
Wish me luck fellas..



*Todays Thought*
Who really bores me?

Politicians and people with nothing to say




I think i need a holiday, even just for a day
I wanna swim..even i know i can't *lols*

where is my mind


Life is about getting up out of your chair and doing something.
Making a mess.
Moving your hand and your body.
Leaving a mark.

It is about doing.
Action.
Finishing.

Experimenting.
Trying something.
Immersing.

It is about absurdity.
A creation.
Evidence that you exist.
Using materials.
Destruction.
It is about fun.
Doing the opposite.
Breaking the rules.

It is about ideas.
Getting dirty.
Making mistakes.
I'm going to ask you to make a mark and it's going to be messy.
Don't worry about that.

That's the point.

Where the hell is that comin' from..

it's all or nothing at all..

It always fascinated me how people go from loving you madly to nothing at all, nothing. It hurts so much.

When I feel someone is going to leave me, I have a tendency to break up first before I get to hear the whole thing. Here it is. One more, one less. Another wasted love story.

I really love this one.

When I think that its over, that I'll never see him again like this... well yes, I'll bump into him, we'll meet our new boyfriend and girlfriend, act as if we had never been together, then we'll slowly think of each other less and less until we forget each other completely. Almost.

Always the same for me. Break up, break down. Drunk up, fool around. Meet one guy, then another, fuck around. Forget the one and only. Then after a few months of total emptiness start again to look for true love, desperately look everywhere and after two years of loneliness meet a new love and swear it is the one, until that one is gone as well.

There's a moment in life where you can't recover any more from another break-up. And even if this person bugs you sixty percent of the time, well you still can’t live without him. And even if he wakes you up every day by sneezing right in your face, well you love his sneezes more than anyone else's kisses.

things that i called crush



There's plenty of time left tonight
And you promised you'd have me home before daylight

There's so many things I have to say

I'll stay up all night to hear about your day

We act like kids in love when the sun goes down
There's a love that transcends

All that we've known of ourselves

And I'll wait for it to come
I'll wait for it to come
Well it's got to be strong to touch my heart
through its shell
And I'll wait for it to come

I'll wait for it to come down
