Cut myself some slack..

My.. I don’t realize how long I’ve abandoned my blog, my only medium to share my writings to the world. I’ve been a slacker. Total slacker. Yes, I always have “work” to blame, but usually I always manage to write something. What really happens is, a lot of things happened, at the same time nothing happens. Strange huh?

Well, a lot of things happened work wise, and around the people I work with, but in personal life, barely. I’ve to admit at this point in my life, my work is my life. The person who I replaced always proud to claim herself as “personal assistant”. She put that title on every email. Me, hardly. For one thing I hate getting emails where the signature is longer than the message. I mean helloooo…. Do I have to endure the scrolling up and down to look for that one crucial information squeezed by those unnecessary lengthy signature?? Company property, understood, but do they also realize it also eats up bandwidth? So I keep my signature simple.

Anyway, back to being a slacker. My pastime hasn’t been as productive as I wanted them to be. I don’t write. I avoid taking down the books I have piled up to read. There are at least 5 titles waiting for my attention. I’ve been taking the easiest hobby, watching movies. No telly for me, spare me from sinetron and Tukul, but love movies. Yes most of them are imported from Jakarta, either borrowed from a friend or my sis. Easy leisure time. All I have to do is just sit there, watch the flow, digest some, laugh at some, and loathe at some.

Writing is still the best digesting time for me. Digesting what I see, hear, sense, think, and feel. I wrote some current issues but held back in publishing it here. Only because it’s current, and after spending 10 hours at work why would I want to dedicate extra hours writing about it? Besides, it’s my blog, MINE, so why on earth do I want to write about office politics? No thank you.

crazy weather

3 days rain
2 days windy, even cyclone
now it's totally hot like summer!

surely this kinda weather just makes one nuts!

Then Garuda crashed, the only airline we could consder as 'safe' is now a big question. Now I really have to reconsider my plan of going back during Nyepi. Been a while. Miss my parents, siblings, my friends. Miss the big city, the malls. Not.

Well, still got a week to decide. Actually, only got 2 days before issuing the tickets.

Wish me luck!

Overrated

I don’t know how people can be really strange in what they say just to impress people, but when you think about it deeper you will found that what they said was totally overrated.

Like today, a friend shared during lunch that she admires an employee because he’s smiling all the time, and she realized that he’s in love with life. There were other stuff she said, but this was the thing that sorta stuck in my mind.

For one thing, a smiley person is simply a smiley person. It’s like smiling is their basic nature that even if you accidentally stepped on their foot they would look at you and smile, or perhaps grin in pain.

Then the other thing that really bugged me was that he’s in love with life, and upon learning this she also starting to be in love with life. What on earth is that? It’s not like life can love you back! Totally overrated. When I said that to her she went ballistic and said “what is wrong with you??” Well, I was tempted to say that nothing’s wrong with me other than what you said was too flowery. She accused of me being so shallow and insisted that the topic is still open until I understand what she meant.

Well honey, life is life. Either you love it or not you gotta live it. I love being alive, but it’s not like I’m having a romantic relationship with life. When life’s over, what would be left of me? Gone? Finished vanished? I don’t think so… Where on earth did she got such idea?

Any debate?
