Running Runners

"When everything goes wrong, what should I do?"







"MOVE ON"
Do some deletions, write lists of what to forget and burn them, throw away and donate some things, do more treadmills to remind you that life goes on ----- you'll lose a few pounds as a bonus! Smile more and remember by smiling, you'll help another to move on too.
Just how others have helped you to do one by theirs.

Let things go, release them, kick them if you like. 

Don't stick to things that hurt you, it doesn't mean they are evil, it's just they aren't meant for you. Their pieces just don't fit the spaces in your heart.

There are other pieces of heart waiting to fill your heart, out there.
Pieces of heart that are meant especially for you.
Before a new chapter started, you must first end the previous.





Nothing is irreplaceable.







Now, go and close the door

Bubblegums!


Have you ever wondered why good things come to an end?
Have you ever wondered why after you smile, most probably you'll cry the moment after?
Have you ever wondered why people love and hate each other the next?
Have you ever wondered why people come and go?
Have you ever wondered why there's a beginning and an end?

If you say 'yes' for most of the questions, congratulations, you've earned yourself a life.
If you say 'no' for most of the questions, go out a little.
Live a life, experience miseries, let yourself cry, hurt, angry.

Imagine life as a scale. If the right side is heavier than the left, it won't reach the balance state. If it doesn't get to the balance state, everything will go out in chaos. Even though both right and left side are good things, they still have to be measured in an exactly same capacity.
For example : imagine HAPPINESS is heavier than the SADNESS, life will probably be good for the first few minutes, but then when happiness started to take over, later on, life will become... flat. People don't realize what's HAPPINESS anymore, because they've never experienced SADNESS.

I'm asking you this,
Are you sure if there's no negative deeds, there will be world peace?

And then, 'THE ENDING' takes place. There'll always be ending in everything. Either good things or bad things. People sometimes forget to see the other side of them. They'll always whine about why good things come to an end, but they seldom remember that they've felt grateful that bad things come to an end before.
Life is a sequence of BEGINNING-ENDING-BEGINNING-ENDING-.....
So, when you stated something as the ending, remember, it's also the beginning of something new.

All you need is to change your perspective, ergo, look for a lot of sides.

Floating paperbirds






A young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming that he had the most beautiful heart in the whole valley. A large crowd gathered and they all admired his heart for it was perfect. There was not a mark or a flaw in it.

But an old man appeared at the front of the crowd and said,
“Your heart is not nearly as beautiful as mine.”
The crowd and the young man looked at the old man’s heart. It was beating strongly but full of scars. It had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in … but they didn’t fit quite right and there were several jagged edges. The young man looked at the old man’s heart and laughed.
“You must be joking,” he said. “Compare your heart with mine … mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars and tears.”
” “Yes,” said the old man, “Yours is perfect looking … but I would never trade with you. You see, every scar represents a person to whom I have given my love….. I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them … and often they give me a piece of their heart which fits into the empty place in my heart but because the pieces aren’t exact, I have some rough edges.
“ Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away … and the other person hasn’t returned a piece of his heart to me. These are the empty gouges … giving love is taking a chance. Although these gouges are painful, they stay open, reminding me of the love I have for these people too … and I hope someday they may return and fill the space I have waiting. So now do you see what true beauty is?”
The young man stood silently with tears running down his cheeks. He walked up to the old man, reached into his perfect young and beautiful heart, and ripped a piece out. He offered it to the old man.
The old man took his offering, placed it in his heart and then took a piece from his old scarred heart and placed it in the wound in the young man’s heart.
It fit …. but not perfectly, as there were some jagged edges.
The young man looked at his heart, not perfect anymore but more beautiful than ever, since lovefrom the old man’s heart flowed into his.

This post is dedicated especially for those who I have given pieces of my heart to, in return or not in return.

Humming and Flying

I can't wait to go away, to finally taking a real step of chasing my dream. I can't wait to get out of this strictly guarded jail who has always forced me to do what they want. But, this is another phase of my life that I should pass. I've always believed that all of my hardwork will pay off.

I'm not a runner, I'm a walker who walks slowly while enjoying the scenery.
I prefer 'travelling' rather than 'arriving'.
I have always believed that it's the journey that matters the most.

My favourite moment of the day is when I was sitting alone in my car, doing nothing but looking into the window with my iPod on. I sighed when it's over, in other words, when I arrived.

I love my life, with its misery attached.
Thank you.

The bored one

VENUE : THE CAFE


There is a group of two most-probably housewives and a man. The first housewife is skinny, talkative and has taken over the dominative side in conversation. The second housewife is fat with short curly hair, carrying a brown Gucci bag. For most of the time, the housewives have been talking about things that the man doesn’t have any interests in. 


That’s why, his eyes wandered around the cafĂ©, he looked into her Rolex watch every once in a while. They laughed together once though, but then the first housewife started to talk again, and I saw the man sighed a little and started sipping his --- my guess would be Robusta, seeing from his puffy and tired eyes. He must have had a long night or life, perhaps.

“What time is it? What are we waiting for? Oh please, stop talking. I don’t know where to go other than here with the wives. Oh, what a life. I might as well enjoy my coffee rather than getting into the high school house wives chat”
I believe that was what the man is thinking.

He put his hand under his chin, pretending to listen to what the first housewife is talking about. But his eyes are empty. Clearly showing he has no interest in what the housewife is saying. I overheard their chat a little, and it was talking about the first housewife’s 10 year old child who asked her whether she wanted a cigarette or not. She also complained about how rebellious her first child is. But seeing from the look of her face, she seems okay with it. She might complain by her words and all, but her eyes and gestures show completely the opposite. They show how she doesn’t really care about her kids.

The rest of the conversation became mundane, still, the man is getting even more bored.

My prayers are with you, sir. 





Female, not regarding of her age, can be pretty annoying. 
Thank you for understanding us,
that's just the way it is.

Papan Kayu

Hai kalian, jangan tinggalkan saya ya.

Saya takut sendiri, takut melihat kegelapan di depan mata. 
Di belakang mata.
Di samping mata.
Di sudut kiri kanan mata.
Saya gelap mata.

Ya, mungkin itu dia. Saya gelap mata.
Mata saya hilang ditelan, tidak bisa melihat jelas.
Saya buta.

Buta, kosong. Hilang.
Hati pun ikut-ikutan pergi. Yang ada hanya badan kosong.
Mulut yang komat kamit tak terarah.
Tangan yang meraba-raba ....aspal.


Oh, saya sudah terjatuh.


Tolong saya?
Beri saya mata.
Beri saya hati.

Apa? Saya disuruh memilih?





Kalau begitu saya pilih buta.
Lebih baik gelap daripada melihat dan hati terus tersayat.

Volvo

They are my traffic signs;
give me 
instructions

safety



and
motivation
to drive through
the rough path




Thank you.



Love,

Big step

As I sat for 6 hours in my favourite spot for solitary, I cried. They came out instantly without needing the force to do so.The temperature of my body increased, I felt hot. My head jumped up and down as if there were bunch of rebellious minions inside my head. I told myself : "This too will pass, in flying colors" I believe it will. All of my hardwork will pay off. Eventhough it doesn't, there will always be a second chance.
Please, I need what people called as luck. I need what people called as 'calm'. I need what people called as 'intelligent'. And most importantly, I need what people called as 'optimistic'.

One step at a time, yes.

Balloons and Airwaves

Conversation between SAToo, POST(it)e and LAP(top)py.

Poste :
"Sat, please be nice to my boss. She's  gone up and down the hills because of you,  ya know?"
Satoo :
"What do you mean? She loves me! She brings me like all the time in her bag. That's how I met PENCILa, you know the hottest girl in the bag."
Lappy :
"What do you mean the hottest? Of course, I'm the one! Hmm.. literally?"
Satoo :
"You're way too hot. Everything that's stated in 'too' or 'over' is not good, ya know?"
Poste :
"Hey guys, get over it.  Let's get serious. Satoo, I mean it, please be nice to her"
Satoo :
"What did I do wrong?? Don't be Mr. Know-It-All, Poste. How do you know she's frustated because of me?"
Poste :
"She writes everything on me almost everyday. And it's all talking about you."
Satoo :
"Is she.... in love with me? Nobody talks about somebody that much unless she's in love!"
Lappy :
"Silly, Satoo. How can you be so dumb, but inside you're so smart? Is being TOO smart, makes you TOO dumb as well?"
Satoo :
"You..! Shut up, steaming hot lappy! And, that! is not a compliment."
Poste :
"Cut it out you two. She also once wrote on me, and she's going to beat you, Satoo"
Satoo :
"Ah, she loves me too much. Love do conquers all."

Poste & Lappy :
"............................... Let's get out of here.................. Oops, we don't have any legs! .........Oh crap. (sigh)"







Overheard by their boss one day while she was (pretending to be) asleep.
