high school...

high school... the best time of most people lives....
a lot of things happened... happy or sad...
best friends that we got through the laughter and tears... through all of the years...

well, for me too... and this is a story bout several people...

High School...

it was 17th July 2007... a clear summer they in a town called... let's just call it "the Equator city"
the long holiday was just over... a new day to start school... boring~
well it was for the second graders and the third graders...
but for the first graders? they were all shaking of excitement...
it was their first day in high school, a totally different atmosphere from junior high school...
new school, new classroom, new teachers... and absolutely new friends...
strangers everywhere... except you were one high school with your old friends....
well, there was a boy... he was from another town... his name was Jack... Jackie Leggs...
it was his first day in a new school and new city... faraway from his hometown...
he felt so excited... he didn't know no one...
Jack's hometown was in an isolated district... he was so plebeian...
he knew nothing bout computers or technology... even he didn't know television....
he wasn't so smart... he wasn't a good athlete... he was pathetic in sports...
the only thing he could do just playin the guitar... he was fine at musics...
at first... there weren't any guys or girls who wanted to make friend with him...
well... was he sad? no... he was just smiled when everybody was making fun of him...
he'd love to help everyone... although no one in the class who respect him as a human...
he kept showing his existence... he tried to learn bout everything...
about the technologies... sports... and every lessons in school...
three months had passed... what did he get?
he didn't mastered everything though... but... he was getting better at everything...
that time... he did better than anyone in his class about computers...
he started to played volleyball and basketball....
finally... people started making friend with him...
the one who was nothing than just a piece of crap...
now turned into someone who got an important role in his school...
first year had passed... it's holiday time... he spent his holiday by studying more about musics and computers till the end of the holiday...
he was getting better at computers... and now he was the best student at computers...
as second year passed... he got a lot of friends now...
but only 11 people were his best friends... they were... Albert, Sumar, Aldi, Jason, Bastian, Anthony, Steven, Jumadi, Hendra, Afryandie and a girl named Caroline....
they were completing each other... when one of them in trouble... the other would help...
a lot of things happened from that moment... laughter... cries... even fights  often happened...
one day a little fight happened... it was raining that day...
Caroline's boyfriend and Jumadi had a little quarrel... everyone was trying to make the situation better...
but... it was worse... since that incident... Jumadi became a little colder...
he wouldn't talk to Caroline... it made Jack so sad... he tried to do everything he could... but nothing was happening...
just as second year... third year just ended.... everyone passed the final exam
well... everyone was happy... but... and do you guys know?

it's also time for the saddest moment in high school students... the farewell party...

that party was held on the school volleyball court...

people were eating fried rice and roasted chicken they roasted their own...

the farewell party wasn't something for them... but the fun by gathering with buddies was the best part...

the farewell party was over... now... they started to go their separated ways...

they went to different universities... some to the capital... some stayed in the Equator City...

everything was so different... they were so busy with their study... 

even they barely kept in touch...

10 years had passed... Jack had become a fine computers programmer...

one day... he was invited to join a big company...

and unbelievable the owner of that company was... Albert... his best buddy in the high school...

they were happy to meet each other once again... then they made a good team...

then... one day Albert had an idea about a reunion...

it was a good idea... and it was a hard job to find all of their best friends from high school...

but they did it... the reunion party was going well...

it was held on 17th July... the same day when they first met...

and Jack did something... he took out his guitar and started playing a song...

Jumadi and Caroline started talking again...

it was a very good song... that reminded everyone about the time they had gone through together...

but everything had been so different now... it's not about girls and sports or lessons they were talking...

it's all about business, politics, or religions...

how they missed their high school time... but what they could do now?
they just could remember everything and talked bout them in every reunion...

it was so sad that their high school moment was over...

but... there's something they still got... they still got each other...

happy high school time everyone : )

this is a song for you guys.... enjoy

Letter To The President (Acoustic) by Hawk Nelson...

When we were younger
We used to sit on my porch
And talk smack about girls and professional sports
There’s a lot of things I wanted to say
But never got a chance to find a way

Take a good look at all of our high schools
This is the first reason that I wanna write you
It must be tough when society is messed up
Gotta save money, please don't take it out on us

Do they even know
Do they even know

If I was brave I’d write a letter to the president
And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament
But for now I won’t say nothin
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence
But for now I won’t say nothin

Now that we’re older
A brand new story unfolds
About God and the laws that we’ve always been told
And there’s a lot of things I wanted to say
But never got a chance to find a way

Do they even know
Do they even know

If I was brave I’d write a letter to the president
And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament
But for now I won’t say nothin
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence
As for now I’ll start with somethin

Do they even know
Do they even know
Do they even know
Do they even know

If I was brave I’d write a letter to the president
And have him pass it to the leaders of our parliament
But for now I won’t say nothin
From all the kids who would stand in my residence
Who see this letter as a statement of our innocence
As for now I’ll start with somethin

A lot of things had happened... guys there's something I really Wanted to say... but never got a chance...I'm glad for having you guys as my best friends : )
Till we meet again...

Jackie Leggs....

do it for her!!! : )

I don't know why... everytime I try to forget something... I just can't simply do it...
it always come back...

well... I've got my own story...
a life's experiences...
it was a nice November day... 14th November 2008...
the sun wasn't too hot and the breeze was nice...

like always... I woke up and realized that it was a nice moment to start my day with a smile...

I prepared myself and went to school... this was the day I fell in love with someone...
a little shorty... cutie and... fierce lady..

I started the school by spending time with my buddies...

I didn't know why... it just came like something I never expected...
when I saw her face... I felt so peaceful...

well, she never realized though

after school... I sent her some messages...

it went well, she replied...

till one thing I told her... that I like her... she thought it was just a game... but it wasn't..

well, it was one day of my life I felt so in love...

I kept goin on with her.... well, at first she didn't like me at all...

time went by... we started to love each other...

we did a lot of things through 1,5 years...

I wondered does she still remember them? or everything was just gone to hell for her?

who knows... heaven knows....

we bet on things that are funny, like who wakes up earlier will receive a gift from the looser...

I won most of the game and I won a lot of stuff... fried rice, strawberry juice... chocolates...

well, she won too, she won my heart....

we shared our life every night before we went to sleep...

we talked bout pigs and cows... and Japanese summer festivals... 

fireworks, beach... and everything we could talk bout...

on her 17th birthday... I wrote a song for her... 

my friends helped me sang it for her... that day...

well... it was the best time of my life...

but everything was gone... till got stressed out from this university jokes 

I started to be bored... didn't care bout her and... 

I sent her away... I couldn't be so patient that time...

and it was the biggest mistake I've ever made... just for now...

never thought that things would turn out this way....

I never realized how happy she had made me... the happiest person in this world?

I don't know...

I feel like a fool because I've let her down...

made her shed her tears... made her mad because I posted her photo in a social website and acted so stupid...

I wish she could hear my heart scream that I still love her...

I'd hold her hand when she scared....

I missed every night we shared... the cows and the pigs we talked bout...

missed every moaning she told me... and I missed when she sang to me a song she loved to sing....

the night seems so colder now for me...

the last thing she told me... "can we just be friend?" and "yeah it's true now, that I got no feeling bout you anymore"....

is it goodbye?

there's so many words in this world... why must goodbye?

I think... I'll do what she wanted...

although it hurts me bad... well... do it for her : )

A song with nice lyrics for me right now... enjoy...

when you love someone....

dear reader...

have you ever loved someone?
I think yes... or maybe no...

well.... this is a story...

about a boy, when he was in high school

just call him Nick

There he was, in his bed... he just woke up and it's 6.30 am... He got up and went to the bathroom in such a rush... Yeah, he was almost late... It was his second year in the high school and he still never changed...
He was lazy, naughty and messy.... Well, he kind of a good boy sometimes, he always helped some of his best friends... He went to school with his best buddy, called him James...
They were almost late every morning, but luckily they were never late...

Nick liked to do pranks, he did that a lot everyday... From make a joke to a super naughty prank... That's why he never thought of any girls and no girls liked him... well, I'm not sure, just say so..
That moment, every boy in school was very busy finding a girlfriend, but not for Nick...
He was busy doing a lot of prank and doing his sport things... Nick was a strong boy, he was tall and big, and... he was good at sport, some music and his lesson also good...
smart but lazy....

One day, he doing some prank, he annoyed a girl in his class, she was a shorty and a cutie... He followed her everywhere she went to, well... it was worked.... that girl was very annoyed....
Not satisfied Nick continued his little prank, he tried to find her number, and he got it.... He sent her some messages sayin, "hi cutie, I miss you", "I love you" and some sweet talk... of course that girl now that he was joking, and it was true... well, that girl didn't give a damn to Nick...
Till one day, Nick said that he was serious with her... but it was just a prank.... That girl felt so annoyed and she didn't reply Nick's messages....

Nick kept doing his prank, it might be the longest prank he'd ever done... But Nick fell to far to the hole he dug up. He was really in love, he fell in love for the first time, it was really an accidentally in love. Well, Nick tried to tell that girl he was serious, but that girl still thought that he was joking... Nick sent her messages everyday, but she barely replied him...
Now, Nick knew what is broken heart. His first love hurt his heart, He started to became a poet suddenly... He wrote her poems every night before he went to sleep... and he kept doing that for three months.
After that, that girl's phone was stolen, and he stopped doing it...

One day that girl bought a new phone, and well, a new number as well. She told Nick her new number, and that made him felt glade. They started sending messages, she started to reply, although just a simple sentence, even just one word... Well, she replied Nick not because she liked it, but it because she got 300 messages bonus from her phone operator every 8 messages she sent... Nick knew it, but he kept replying her... Although she kept ignoring him, Nick never gave up... He kept doing his poems.... it went up till several months away....

It was already 7 months, that girl's respond was good. She never said that she loved Nick, but Nick was happy enough because he could talk to that girl everynight although it was just by sending some messages... One day, Nick got a plan, it was almost that girl's birthday. He called her friend, a girl and a good pianist. He asked her to cooperate him creating a song... Nick planned on that girl birthday, he wanted to tell her how much he loved her and asked her to be his girlfriend...

Several weeks went by, that song was ready, Nick wrote the lyrics and his pianist friend made the music, a nice one... but that song was untitled. Then nick asked his friends to play that in a band, and they kept practicing... 25th July was that day.. it was that girl birthday... and Nick was sick, high degree fever, he almost couldn't stand up... But for that girl then he rented a studio, and with some friends helps, he made it....He sang that song in front of her... but she never seemed to love Nick... she rejected him... Nick was so sad.... but he still hadn't given up.. He kept messaging that girl... The next day Nick's illness got worser and he couldn't get up from his bed...

Several months had past after that day... and he never knew that time passed by so quickly.... It'd been a year since he sent that girl his very first message... He started to call her on phone, they'd talked a lot since then...
almost everynight Nick called that girl, they talked bout their life, talked bout song, sang some songs, and so on... Nick always talked bout his will, he wanted to live a nice life with that girl someday in a beautiful place... But that girl never continued that topic seriously. Nick thought that that girl was shy and started to fall in love with him... but she never admitted it.... Another six months had passed, it was almost the end of their time in high school. Time for another life as an university students... Well, they all past the final exams and went to university their own....
That girl started to changed, she started to less understand... and same with Nick he changed...
then their relationship started to loose.... till one day Nick felt that he got no feeling anymore...
but that girl... she cried... she was so sad, because she loved Nick so much that moment....
Nick started to ignore that girl, the love he got now all gone like sand that blown by wind... that girl tried to convince Nick, but she gave up at last....

Since then, they hadn't talked... they went their own way, busy with their study...
Then one day, Nick and his friend visited that girl in the place she stayed.... That girl had changed into what she used to be, when Nick loved her so... For the second time she fell in love with the same girl... But nothing more he could do... That girl had been hurt so bad.... Just like a knife that wound you, the wound heals but the scars remains.... He was so regret till now.....
That girl didn't love Nick anymore... What could he do now? He just sit still typing his blog till he cried...
nothing he could do... He could wish but, nothing happened... Now he is still waiting for that girl to change... I wrote this blog, if that girl read this... maybe she'll know that Nick still love her...
well.... he doesn't care anymore....
feels like hell he said to love somebody...

it's the end of Nick story?? I don't know... but that's all I can tell bout Nick....
maybe if this things happen to you now, and you're too desperate to continue and going to give up...
think twice, or ten times before you decide what will you do...
Well, this song might be the best for expressing Nick feeling, enjoy

Every Rose Has Its Thorns, sung by Poison...

daddy....

hi everyone...
it's been so long I haven't written...
well, this time, I created this story because I was inspired by my friend
my buddy when I was in high school till now...
his name is... just call him Steve...
this is the story about a father, I bet you guys got a daddy right?
even there're people who didn't know his daddy till now
but whoever he is, he's your daddy after all
here's the story.... dedicated to Stephan Susanto...

Daddy

In a small town called Pone lived a small family, well average maybe, contain of a daddy named Stone a.k.a Black Cat, a mother named Sofie, and this family got 4 sons....

The oldest son named Peter, the second son named Steve, the third one named Hans and the youngest named Nick...

Mr. Stone worked as a wood dealer, he collected woods from the forest and sold it to the town, while Ms. Sofie open a little toy shop. Peter is a strong and handsome guy, he's a hard worker, he's helping his daddy's work. But Steve, he's not a normal guy, he's so thin and he couldn't speak because he's dumb. The rest of the sons still little kids, but they helped they mother running the shop.

Although Steve was dumb, he always tried his best to help his daddy or his mom. He's a smart boy, he loved the nature and sometimes he wrote a poem about his homeland and his family. Everyday Steve helped his father in the morning to collected the firewood, meanwhile Peter went to the forest and chop down some big trees.

Sometimes because of his dumbness Steve often made mistakes, but, his daddy never got mad at him. All the family member loved Steve a lot, and Steve also loved his family.

One day, it was Steve 19 birthday, Sofie didn't open the shop to prepared a feast for Steve... Stone carved a fine wood into a horse model as a present for him, Peter bought him a warm jacket for him, and his two younger brother prepared a song for him.

Steve was so happy, and he's so amazed with his daddy's present...

the day after his birthday, Steve asked his daddy how to carve wood... His daddy taught him everything he knew...

Steve learned so fast, he had passed his daddy's skill now....

One day, Stone got cough, he couldn't stop coughing, then he went to a clinic....

the doctor gave him a cough syrup, after that his dad drank it
His body get better, but might be because of his body was so weak and couldn't resist the dosage of that drugs...
He died the next morning...
Steve was so sad...
He's so sorry because he was never be able to show his carving to his daddy...
at the night when his daddy died... Steve wrote a poem for his daddy...
The poem was :

Dear daddy...
Daddy... How are you today?
that's the question I want to asked you everyday...
I'm sorry I can't...
I never thought that I'll lose you this soon...
I haven't made you proud yet..
I wish we could carve the woods like we used to do
there're a lot of things I wanna show you without words

It breaks my heart to see the strongest man I knew..
Lying there numbly without any words...
I wish I could see your smile again...
like how we used to laugh while we were collecting the firewood..
Dad... I'm sorry..
I knew, I'm not a perfect son for you...
I'm dumb, and I often did the wrong things and made you disappointed
Dad... please come back...
I really fell so lonely...
is a boy really not suppose to cry?
but I really want to cry now...

I still remembered the day we pass together...
when you used to teach me how to live this life
I still remembered the years we went through...
through all the laughters and tears....
I still remembered the day when you sing
sing for me everynight before I went to sleep...
I still be able to feel it....
now... I really wanna read this poem I wrote you...
but I just can't....

thank you Dad.... for being an inspiration for me...
for being... the best daddy everyone could possibly ever got....
I.... I love you dad.....

with love Steve....

Father....

this is a real story
about somebody's life
well, just call her Dessy
entitled .... Father

Father

23 years ago, in a cold city named Bandung, was borned a girl, then his father gave her a name. Her name was Dessy. Dessy was raised in an authoritative way, that made her personality to be dissidents and rebels. She often against her parent, and everyday she had to undergo a life full of pressure. As a daughter, Dessy hated her father more than anything, even she ever thought "one day if I could be a successful person, I'd dump my father far away from my life" and the worst she ever wished that her father would die quickly. so she could be freed from her suffering. Days went by, and the more she hated her father, all the things bout loving parent was bullshit to her, she didn't even care what her teacher said about parent's love, and child dedication. Her heart had been frozen like ice, and it couldn't be melted.

Till one day, she was challenged by priest, to knee three times in front of her parent. If her parent didn't love her, then they wouldn't give a damn to what she did, and the priest would confess that he's wrong to Dessy. Then she went home in a rush to prove that she was right. But what happened? The man she hate the most, he shed a tear in front of her... She asked herself, why did he cry? he must be laughing because I was lost by kneeing in front of him... why?

After that, Dessy started to behave better, she stopped lying and swearing to her father. She started to learn how to love her father and started to read some books of child dedication. But there is something that she never understood, the word "Dharma" in the book she red. (Dharma means the teachings of truth in Buddism).

Then she joined a Buddhist foundation, and she changed. Her stubborn personality began to fade. She regretted her deeds and her negative thought all this time, her frozen heart started to melt little by little...

One day she joined a camping from the Buddhist foundation. She was asked to write a love letter to her parent, content of her apologize to her parent for all she did. But she hid it in her drawer because she was too shy. But she promised herself that she would gave it to her parent at the right time. 

In one evening, Dessy saw her father was so tired from working, then Dessy approached her and gave him a head massage. The next day, Dessy was planning to read the letter she wrote and tell about her feeling to her parent. But she didn't know why, she felt kinda worry that day. Her father went to work, but... He never came back... because he went forever... Dessy got the message, that her father was passed away by a traffic accident. This shocked Dessy and she would never be able to read her letter to her father....

She was so sorry, and she wanted to say sorry to her father... but it was too late...

The big guy who scared her, now had gone.. In a flash she'd never see his smile anymore...

End....

 
 a sad story? yup, just say so...

by reading the story I can say that we should do what we can do now

don't waste your chance, you just got one life...

don't waste it....

don't too carried away by the things you had lost....  because you still have someone who love you now...

by the things in the past you had done wrong... let it be an experience for you

just move on, there are lot of things waiting for you...

Mother's day......

Another story... it's late but... it's never too late...
I made this Indonesian version, because I've created this story long time ago...


Apakah kamu punya seorang "Ibu"? Kurasa ya, karena setiap manusia dilahirkan oleh ibunya. Pernahkah kalian memikirkan perjuangannya selama 9 bulan mengandung kalian? Pantang makan yang enak-enak, tidak boleh  bergerak dengan bebas, membawa beban lebih di dalam perut mereka? Renungkanlah setelah membaca cerita ini 


Hari ini tanggal 18 Desember, lagi-lagi hal yang sama terjadi di rumah Jack Wilson, seorang anak baru gede berusia 18 tahun. Pagi-pagi buta begini dia sudah bertengkar dengan ibunya, Jean Steiner. Jack memang tidak pernah akur dengan ibunya setelah kepergian ayahnya. Ayah Jack sudah meninggal ketika dia berumur 8 tahun dengan meninggalkan warisan yang sangat banyak untuk Jack dan Jean. Mereka sedang beradu mulut tentang kelompok yang diikuti Jack belakangan ini, menurut kabar burung, kelompok tersebut melakukan hal-hal yang tidak seharusnya dilakukan oleh anak seumuran mereka, seperti mengkonsumsi narkoba dan seks bebas. Jean selalu melarang Jack mengikuti kegiatan kelompok tersebut, tetapi Jack tetap keras kepala, "kalau aku ga ikut nanti teman-teman bilang aku ga keren ma!!!!" kata Jack dengan keras sambil membanting kursi tempat mereka duduk di ruang makan "iya nak, tapi geng itu berbahaya, dan mama ga mau kamu kenapa-kenapa" balas ibu Jack dengan nada lembut, "Brisik!! Terserah aku dong mau ngapain juga, aku pergi" bantah Jack dan langsung meninggalkan rumahnya dan ibunya yang sambil memanggil-manggil namanya tetapi Jack tidak peduli dan langsung pergi dengan mobilnya. Jean tidak bisa melakukan apa-apa, selain menangis dan berdoa agar anaknya itu baik-baik saja. 


Keesokan harinya adalah hari ulang tahun Jack, walaupun setiap hari Jack selalu tidak sopan kepada Jean dan selalu menyakiti hati Jean, tetapi Jean tetap mengingat hari itu. Hari itu setelah Jack pergi ke sekolah, Jean langsung pergi belanja, membeli segala hal yang diperlukan untuk pesta kejutan Jack. Sekitar jam 6 sore, Jack pulang, "TEEEET!!!!" suara terompet yang ditiup ibunya dan beberapa pelayan rumah "selamat ulang tahun nak", para pelayan segera mengeluarkan makanan dan kue-kue yang telah dibuat oleh Jean selama seharian. Tapi apa reaksi Jack, dia tidak peduli dengan semua itu dan berkata "ADuh!!, apaan sih brisik banget aku baru pulang juga udah diganggu, capek tahu" Jack langsung masuk ke kamarnya, ibunya membujuknya agar mau merayakan pestanya itu, tetapi karena sudah ada janji pertemuan kelompok Jack menolak dan langsung pergi lagi. Betapa sakitnya hati Jean karena perlakuan anaknya itu, tetapi dia hanya tersenyum dengan air mata di pipinya dan berkata "hati-hati di jalan ya nak, selamat ulang tahun ya", Jack tidak menggubris ibunya itu dan langsung pergi ke tempat perjanjian. Malam itu, geng Jack mengalami perkelahian dengan geng lain dari kota seberang, dan Jack terluka parah karena perkelahian itu dan segera dibawa ke rumah sakit oleh teman-temannya, tentu saja teman Jack juga segera menghubungi Jean. Setelah mendengar kabar itu, Jean segera menyalakan mesin mobilnya dan tancap gas ke rumah sakit tempat Jack dirawat. Jean menjaga Jack sampai keesokan paginya dia sadar. "Ngapain mama di sini? Udah mama pulang aja, Jack ga butuh mama kok" kata Jack ketika sadar bahwa ibunya ada di sebelahnya sambil menggengam tangannya. "Jack, mama khawatir sekali sama kamu, tapi untunglah kamu sudah sadar. Gimana keadaanmu Jack?" kata ibunya dengan wajah yang cukup gembira karena anaknya sudah siuman. "Gimana keadaanku, yah mama kan bisa lihat sendiri!!" teriak Jack sambil mengerang kesakitan. Walaupun kelakuan Jack seperti itu, ibunya tidak pernah membenci Jack, dia tetap menjaga Jack dan merawatnya sampai dia sembuh dengan tulus dan penuh kasih sayang, melihat itu hal itu, Jack mulai sadar, betapa ibunya menyayanginya. 


Hari ini tanggal 21 Desember, dan besok Jack sudah boleh pulang ke rumahnya, dan besok juga adalah hari ibu. Jack berencana menyatakan rasa terima kasihnya kepada ibunya pada hari itu. Tetapi apa yang terjadi? Jean mengalami kecelakaan lalu lintas ketika ingin membelikan makanan untuk Jack. Dia tertabrak Truk Container yang supirnya mabuk ketika sedang menyeberang jalan. Jack mulai gelisah, Ibunya tidak kunjung kembali setelah 2 jam, dia langsung menelepon ke Hp Jean, berharap ibunya yang mengangkat, tetapi yang didengarnya adalah suara lelaki yang memberitahukan bahwa Jean mengalami kecelakaan lalu lintas. Jack langsung meninggalkan ruang rawatnya dan pergi ke tempat dimana Jean terbaring, "Mama, mama, mama" kata Jack sambil menggenggam tangan ibunya yang halus itu. "Ya nak..." jawab Jean dengan suara yang hampir hilang, "Mama ga apa-apa kan?" tanya Jean, "iya nak, mama baik-baik saja kok" sambil tersenyum, "Ma, maaf ya.. selama ini Jack selalu bikin mama sedih, dan selalu ngerepotin mama." sahut Jack 
"......" tidak ada jawaban dari ibunya yang terdengar hanyalah suara sirine keras dari alat pengukur detak jantung. "Ma.. MAMA... MAMA!!! jangan diam dong ma, jangan pergi dulu ma, Jack sayang banget sama mama, Jack masih butuh mama..." tetapi Jean hanya diam hanya senyuman hangat yang menghiasi wajahnya... 


Keesokan harinya, Jean dimakamkan, Jack hanya bisa menangis dan menyesali segala perbuatan yang pernah dilakukannya. Tahun-tahun berlalu, beberapa tahun kemudian Jack menjadi seorang pria yang sukses, menjadi seorang presiden direktur dari sebuah perusahaan, yaitu perusahaan "I Love Mom corporation". Perusahaan yang menyediakan jasa perbaikan hubungan anak dan ibu mereka. Lebih tepatnya perusahaan ini memperkerjakan para psikiater sebgai sarana konsultasi bagi para ibu dan anak-anak yang dulunya seperti Jack. Hari ini tanggal 22 Desember, tepatnya hari ibu, Jack berdiri di depan kuburan ibunya, membawakan seikat bunga mawar kesukaan ibunya dan meletakkan di atas kuburan ibunya itu. "Ma terima kasih ya, atas pengorbanan mama selama ini buat Jack, mulai mengandung Jack sampai membesarkan Jack... Maaf ma, karena Jack terlambat mengatakan ini, maaf karena Jack ga pernah bikin mama senang, dan Jack ga pernah merayakan hari ulang tahun mama, ataupun hari ibu bersama mama". Sambil tersenyum dan meneteskan air mata, teringat kembali kenangan masa keci Jack, "Ma, Jack sayang banget sama mama" kata Jack kecil sambil tersenyum kepada ibunya, "Iya Jack, mama juga sayang banget sama Jack" jawab ibunya sambil mengajarkan lagu kasih ibu kepada Jack. Tetapi semua sudah terlambat, yang bisa Jack lakukan di hari ibu ini, hanyalah berdoa untuk mamanya di surga dan tersenyum untuk ibunya.... 


Teman-teman terkasih, pikirkanlah sekarang, bagaimana ibu kita menyayangi kita. Mungkin terkadang dia memang cerewet, dan kita selalu menganggap dia tidak sayang sama kita, cuma memikirkan dirinya sendiri, atau tidak peduli dengan kita. Tetapi teman-teman, di dalam hatinya dia hanya takut, takut tidak bisa lagi melihat kita tersenyum dan ketawa bahagia. Dia sangat khawatir dengan kita sehingga kalau kita pulang agak telat dia memarahi kita, ataupun menghukum kita. Waktunya sudah tidak lama lagi. pejamkanlah mata kalian dan ingatlah kembali ketika dia menyuapi kita, memandikan kita, bahkan sampai mau membersihkan bokong kita setelah kita buang air, ingatlah kembali sewaktu dia mencium kita, memeluk dan menggendong kita, ingatlah saat kita berkata "Ma, aku sayang mama" yang sekarang sudah hampir tidak pernah kita ucapkan kepadanya. Bayangkanlah ketika dia mengajarimu berjalan, ketika dia tersenyum saat mendengar kata pertama yang kamu ucapkan, dan bayangkanlah seolah-olah kamu kembali ke masa kecil itu, peluklah dia, ciumlah dia, dan katakan kepadanya "Aku sayang mama, selamat hari ibu ma". Lakukanlah itu sekarang!! Mungkin kalian berpikir, "AH, kan masih ada lain kali"? Ya, apakah ada lain kali? Bagaimana kalau hari ini adalah hari terakhirmu melihatnya? Peluklah dia, ciumlah dia, dan katakan kepadanya "Aku sayang mama, selamat hari ibu ma" sebelum kalian menyadari bahwa tidak ada lagi lain kali itu. 


Dedikasi untuk hari Ibu

home....

I've got this inspiration from my friend's friend



she escaped from her house... just because of one simple reason...
she fought with her mother and got away from home...
this is a story... maybe you ever heard it somewhere...
but... I create this myself, and adopted a little from that story..

"why do we have to throw garbage in the trash can?
just imagine that you're a garbage...
if someone threw you on the street, you never know who you are
or what you are... you're nothing... you're floating out of nowhere...
but, when you're in the trash can, you know that you're a garbage..
although you're so dirty and everyone sees you so low...
and it makes you feel so low, lower than the floor...
at least you know who you are.. and what you are
no matter what's your social degree... or how rich you are...
you still know yourself..."

in that quotes... you pick your own moral value, but...
this is my version... the garbage is someone, and the trash can is your family...
it doesn't matter how poor you are, how weak you are...
when you're in your family... you're someone...
well at least you know who you are....
and for me....family is the most important thing...
here's the story... entitled home..

HOME

Long ago there's a family, they're rich and they lived in a mansion... They got everything they wanted, except something... They never got a child, it's been 3 years after they married, but the wife had never been pregnant...

One day, the husband got so frustrated because he always wanted a son... So they decided to adopt a son... They named their son Prince... Prince lived in the mansion, and his adoptive parent loved him so much...

But he never had a life of a normal kid, he was not allowed to go outside the mansion to play with another kids, it's because his parent didn't want Prince to know that he wasn't their real son... He had a loyal dog named Steven, he played with his dog everyday, he felt so lonely... 

It was September 19th, it's Prince birthday, that year he turned to 16... his parent asked him, what did he want for his birthday present... and as the same every year he always asked for something... it's his freedom, he wanted to go outside the mansion, but his daddy got mad on him... The thing he always wanted, but he never got it...

Prince was so sad, but it didn't last long... "why I can't go outside, why my daddy always forbid me" he thought... then, tired of waiting for several years... he tried to find a way out..

Then that day, he escaped by climbing the wall while the guard was careless. He was so happy and ran into everywhere he could... He never been outside the mansion before, so he asked everyone he met about everything strange to him....

Then he arrived in a corner of a street, he met an old guy there... That gramps knew him, and called his name... Prince was wondering, why did that old man know his name.... so he asked that old man... Unbelievable that old man knew everything bout Prince, he told Prince that he wasn't his adoptive parent's real son....

Prince didn't believe it, but the old man story seems like so real to him, and that's the reason why he wasn't allowed to go out... In a rush he ran to the mansion and asked his dad bout his true address... His dad couldn't lie to him anymore, the secret he kept for 16 years it's uncovered... Prince's father told him the truth...

Prince was mad, he was upset... he really wanted to know who was his real parent...

But his adoptive father didn't know where they were now...

Prince was so mad to his father, they fought... His adoptive father slapped him and his cheek... and punished him in his room...

Although his adoptive father was so hard on him, but he loved Prince so much...

Prince was so mad, he really wanted to find his real parent... then he thought of something... He wanted to go on a journey to find his real parent and his real home...

In the middle of that night, Prince escaped once again with the same way... he brought some food supply and his loyal dog with him... He left a message to his adoptive father said "I'm out to find my home daddy... don't worry bout me I'll be alright... thanks for caring me, see you later... your adoptive son... Prince" 

Outside he asked everyone about his real parent, but no one knew...

suddenly he remembered the old man he met in the street corner, he went there and find that old man once again... Prince asked him bout his real parent.... the old man told him, to go to the west past through the forest... But in that forest there were a lot of scary beasts... but it didn't make Prince scared, he kept going...

Day by day, turned to months... Prince still couldn't find his real parent... several months later, Prince has traveled every inch of that small country... but he still couldn't find a clue....

"That old guy had lied to me" he thought... Prince became very angry and went back to the street corner where he found that old guy... but... that street corner was empty... no one was there... even since he was 10 there wasn't somebody there... it was a scary place and no one wanted to go there... that what everyone said bout that place...

Prince was shocked... who's that old guy he saw before he left the city? ghost or something? He was confused... he felt so dizzy... then he walked and kept walking... till he arrived in front of a big door...

he recognized that door... it was new year's eve that day... he came back to his old home, his adoptive father's mansion... it's wall was so dirty, the paint was peeled... it looked like an old house now...

he felt so afraid to come back... after what he did, he was afraid that his adoptive father would mad at him...

But, boldly he entered the house and found his adoptive father.... When his adoptive father looked at him... he ran to him... the son said that he was sorry but... his adoptive father smacked him so hard...

After his adoptive father smacked him.... he smiled at Prince and hugged him... when his adoptive father hugged him, he felt a warmness he never felt before...

that day.. although Prince couldn't find his real home or parent.... he wasn't upset...

they celebrate new year together.. and..... Prince had just realized... that he was home...

dear readers... wherever you are... and whoever you got....

friends, best friends or family.... wherever you celebrate new year... and with whom you celebrate it...

don't be sad... because... whenever and wherever you feel good...

there's your home....

for whoever who can't go back to their home town, or family's house....

just be happy... because whoever you got now.... is your family...
a little too late but... Happy New Year All!!!
