Time of Your Life

Chic

I used to think time was a thief. But you give before you take. Time is a gift. Every minute. Every second. – Alice Through The Looking Glass

Waktu adalah misteri paling besar yang ada di dunia ini. Kita ngga pernah tau berapa banyak waktu yang kita punya untuk segala sesuatu. Sering kali kita berpikir bahwa kita memiliki semua waktu di dunia, tapi waktu tidak pernah berhenti bergerak. Tanpa kita sadar, kita bahkan sudah kehilangan banyak hal. Yes, Time is a thief, and villain. But Time is also a gift. And we should enjoy every minute of it. Every second.

Once Upon a Time

Chic

Rapunzel: I’ve been looking out of a window for eighteen years, dreaming about what I might feel like when those lights rise in the sky. What if it’s not everything I dreamed it would be?
Flynn Rider: It will be.
Rapunzel: And what if it is? What do I do then?
Flynn Rider: Well, that’s the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream.

Ok. This would be a little bit cheesy. But, well, I can’t stand not to write it down here. So bear with me. Haha.

Yes, the conversation is from Tangled, yang ntah kenapa di Indonesia masuk dengan judul Rapunzel. That was my favorite scene and my favorite quotes from that movie. That scene got me like “gosh here goes my child hood dreams!”, trus menatap layar tanpa kedip melihat sekian ribu lantern terbang-terbang ke langit.

Yes, today is my birthday. And after a few hundred thousand days I’ve been through, there’s so many many days that I want to give up my dream but still making dream the next day. Pursuing dreams and how you wish it were a smooth ride, no? Sometime the twists and curves that I’ve been encountered left me full of negative thoughts and doubting my ability.

Tapi seseorang pernah berkata kepada saya, kita harus sadar bahwa kita adalah pilot dari mimpi-mimpi kita, jadi kita harus bertanggung jawab atas mimpi-mimpi kita dan terbang ke tempat-tempat yang belum pernah kita kunjungi.

I was fail. Over and over. Well, everyone does.

Was I scared? Sure.
Did I care? Nope.

Here is the cheesy part, but Disney teach me how not to stop dreaming. Haha. Karena dengan mempunyai mimpi, kita memberikan diri kita “harapan”. Dan “tujuan”. Berhenti bermimpi, well, sama saja dengan bilang “ya ngga ada yang bisa mengubah takdir sih”. Tapi kan kita ngga tau takdir itu kayak apa. Kalau ngga tau, trus kenapa bisa bilang “ngga bisa mengubah takdir”?

Right?

Itu kalau gagal.

Pertanyaannya sekarang adalah bagaimana kalau kita merasa sudah meraih mimpi-mimpi kita? Terus sekarang mesti ngapain?

Nah itu, persis kayak pertanyaan Rapunzel di atas. And that’s a good part after making a dream come true. Find a new dream.

Yes, today is my birthday. And after a few hundred thousand days I’ve been through, there were so many many days that I’ve been catching my dreams. Several dreams came true. What would I do next? Finding a new dream for sure.

And today, YOU were my new dream.

Same Old Song

Chic

boy_meets_girl

Moment lebaran atau datang ke kawinan kerabat gitu memang menyebalkan bagi sebagian orang. Apalagi kalo bukan pertanyaan-pertanyaan “kapan nyusul (nikah), kapan keluarga nambah cucu, udah hamil?, kapan punya anak kedua (ketiga dan seterusnya), kapan mau punya anak cowok (kalo anaknya cewek semua dan pertanyaan sebaliknya kalo anaknya cewek semua), kapan nambah anggota keluarga” dan banyak bentuk variasi pertanyaan sejenis lah. Karena harusnya, based on acceptable circle of life itu kayak gini: –> girl meets boy, falls in love, he proposes, you get married and have a baby, then another baby, and another baby. Kids goes to colleges, boy and girl grow old together.

That’s how it’s supposed to go right?

ya terus?

Do You Know Yourself?

Kemarin iseng mindah-mindahin channel Netflix, saya terhenti di film The Matrix, yang sebenernya udah ditonton puluhan kali tapi ngga pernah terlalu inget juga detail ceritanya. 😆

Ada satu adegan dengan dialog yang sampe sekarang masing muter-muter di otak saya sejak kemarin itu. Adegan di mana Neo ketemu The Oracle, waktu Neo masih bingung sama statusnya dia yang sebenernya udah jadian apa belum sih. #eh

Ok, Maaf.

Jadi, buat yang masih hafal jalan ceritanya The Matrix, Neo berulang kali dibilangin kalau dia tuh adalah someone very important, has the power to save the world. Even the prophecies refer to him as “The One”. Tapi Neo merasanya dia adalah a regular guy. Tugasnya The Oracle adalah membantu Neo menemukan “dirinya”. Begitu kira-kira.

Ada Apa dengan The Matrix?
