Dera Dera Desember

Menderalah hingga jauh
Seret aku dalam masa masa lewat
Dimana jiwa ranting kan patah
Terlapiskan badai
Maka patahlah sudah
Seret aku dalam derai hujan darah

An Expository/Description Essay: Room Sweet Room

"Room Sweet Room" 

Voila la description de ma chambre!  

This is it, my room sweet room in my house. Before entering my bedroom, you will see a door. This is not a common door. This door is a portal for entering a magical room. I am not telling you a joke. Seriously, this is a miraculous portal, because there is a sign on the door writing “Please say the spell before enter!” and “Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus”. It means “a dragon is sleeping, do not disturb!” I made this sign when I was in junior high school, because my little brother and sister were used to disturb me when I was studying in my room, or entered my room without knocking.

A COMPARISON/CONTRAST ESSAY SAMPLE: "Being A Snob or A Nerd"

Being A Snob or A Nerd

          A snob is totally different from a nerd in so many ways. A Snob is a person who respects and likes only people who are of a high social class, and/or a person who has extremely high standards who is not satisfied by the things that ordinary people like. But A nerd is a person, (especially a man) who is not attractive and awkward or socially embarrassing.

AN ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY SAMPLE: "Celebrate and Grab the Positiveness from Your Pessimistic Life"

Celebrate and Grab the Positiveness from Your Pessimistic Life

It is cool to be a pessimist. For your information, a Pessimist is one who feels bad when he feels good for fear he will feel worse when he feels better. Some of us are pessimistic type, some others are optimistic, but there are also many of us are in between, for examples are callous type or indifferent ones. Here, I do not want to attack anybody, but if you are a pessimist and you are not convenient to be yourself, you may moan or try hard, strive to be not pessimistic anymore. It is okay, but why don’t you just try to celebrate your pessimistic life and grab the beneficial parts of being pessimistic, and that will be so cool. Really, there are a lot of the bright sides to be a pessimist, so that you do not have to moan and complain anymore, because no one can decide to be a pessimist or an optimist.

Melewati Ladang Kunang-Kunang Bersama Kiss Me

                          

Apa yang kau pikirkan ketika mendengarkan lagu Kiss Me milik Sixpence None the Richer? Apakah tentang ciuman yang indah? Sinar bulan? Kunang-kunang? Ladang gandum? Padang ilalang tinggi? Fantasi? Pangeran impian? Well, itulah sedikit dari yang kupikirkan saat mendengarkan lagu Kiss Me, dan aku tak tahu kenapa. Oke deh, liriknya keren dan musiknya membuat kita melayang-layang jauh sekali.

Sewaktu aku masih kecil, aku pernah mendengarkan lagu ini, dan kupikir lagu ini bagus banget, kukira sewaktu aku beranjak remaja, aku tak akan lagi menyukai lagi lagu ini, tapi ternyata tidak. Semakin remaja, lagu ini membuat imajinasiku semakin dalam, lagipula aku tak pernah bosan mendengarkannya. Yeah, saat masa-masa SMU, aku sudah menyukai cowok sungguhan (bukan lagi aktor-aktor di televisi yang tak bisa kuraih, yang posternya bertebaran di dinding kamarku). Lagu Kiss Me benar-benar membuatku luluh.

Oke, imajinasinya seperti ini:

Puisi Unik: Surat Lamaran

            Pada tanggal 6 Juli 2012 (7:36 PM), setelah berkeliling-keliling, mondar-mandir di depan markas Teater Seriboe Djendela (TSD) milik kampus Sanata Dharma, aku menemukan sebuah puisi unik bergaya bebas yang tertempel di papan komunikasi. Format puisinya seperti surat-surat formal. Karena langsung tertarik, langsung saja ku foto untuk ditulis ulang (Lagipula pada waktu itu tak ada satupun pena dan kertas di tasku). Penulis puisi itu adalah kakak Eggy, mahasiswa Sastra Indonesia yang juga notabene aktor pantomim TSD kawakan.

            Maaf kak, aku copas puisinya untuk dipos kedalam Anitableau. Mungkin saja ada yang berminat melamar ceweknya dengan puisi surat lamaran seperti ini. Lagipula puisinya inspiratif kok ;-)

            Oke ini dia puisinya.

HOW TO LOVE YOURSELF TRULY

Our field is not as green as yours, what does it mean? I am my worst enemy. What does it mean? And then, no one is going to love you if you do not love yourself, and what does it mean? Okay, you have probably heard these words countless times before. It means that we need to love ourselves before we can be loved by anyone else.

We sometimes hate ourselves, we want to be somebody else. We have an ideal standard. What is ideal standard? In Psychology, Ideal standard is a circumstance when somebody thinks that he or she has an ideal thought of his or herself, maybe he or she thinks that his or her body is fat, short, dark-skinned, stupid, and old-fashioned. They will  love what someone else wears. They always think that they are not as beautiful and handsome as somebody else. 

Come on, guys, be conscious! We are different! We are what we have! We are unique! So, don’t ever try to imitate somebody else. Just love yourself and you will be happy.

Okay, now, how can I love myself truly?

Here are the steps. 

1.       1. Forgive yourself

We often make a mistake, but sometimes, we cannot forgive ourselves. We think that we do not deserve to get a forgiveness from ourselves, we feel that we are so silly when we are making a mistake. After that, our fault feels larger than it really was. But the fact, we will feel unhappy with it. We always think it all the time. So, guys, just forgive yourself even though it may take time, you have to fix your mistake, and promise not to do it again.

2.       2. Stop comparing yourself to others

As I said, we are different and unique. Unfortunately, many people, especially for teenagers, do not realize it. They act like they are somebody else. They sometimes compare themselves to other people. They have an ideal standard, so that they will hate their body. But, guys, no matter how silly we are, or how ugly we are. But, nevertheless, we are not pretending to be somebody else. We don’t need to hide ourselves.

3.       3. Stop seeking approval

We sometimes hide ourselves, we try to imitate what someone else do, we follow what they do. We want to be accepted by others. It is okay, actually, IF it is still good to do. But, hey, why don’t we show who we are?  Just say, “I’m okay with this! I’m okay with that!” We do not need to pretend to be someone else just because we want to get an approval from others. Just do the best.

4.       4. Believe in yourself

I ever read that the wonderful thing about believing yourself is that you are the only one responsible. We ourselves set our lives, dreams and futures. No one else can, but we are. How can we achieve what we want, if we do not believe in ourselves. Why don’t we stop to dream, IF we do not believe in ourselves? It is gonna be in vain, isn’t it?

In a word, Believe is the key to get success and to achieve our dreams.

5.       5. Practice silence

It is not always to let you in a silent, but maybe it is the spiritual key to get a glimpse of the person you really are. We have so much time to be alone, and this is the best time to think about who we are. We can do the meditation, yoga, or daydreaming to get a relaxation, to think of ourselves and to introspect ourselves. It is easy to think about ourselves when we are looking our face into the mirror, or when you are in a bathtub thinking about yourself.

6.       6. Express yourself

What is your hobby? Many of us love doing something. Do you love drawing? Just draw. Do you love singing? Just sing. Do you love reading a book? Why not? Just read a book. Express yourself, show your talents, and don’t be shy, even though you are sometimes scared of get ridiculed or made fun of. You will be fine.

7.       7. Loving yourself

It is very important! I will ask you a question. Who want to love yourself? Will your mother or your boyfriend and girlfriend? NO! If you answer yes, what is your reason? Okay, I know, they love you. But, who knows about all your secret, body and mindset? You are responsible to love yourself. You will be loved by others and if you really want to change the world, you have to love yourself first truly, believe and do the best.

Jalan Menurun di Lombard Street

San Fransisco kala bulan itu tiba
Saat sinar matahari membuat jalan dan bukit
        menjadi lebih curam di Lombard Street
Rumah biru pudar
Pintu lebar dan kaca-kaca panjang
Sebelah rumah kuning pucat

Jalan menurun di Lombard Street
Menurun dari rumah biru taman gantung
Pada sebuah pohon dan teduh bayangnya
Kita berdua melangkah satu-satu
Saling bicara dan terdiam
Aku berbisik pada gundukan rumput hijau tinggi
        yang memagari rumah-rumah
Bunga merah, kuning, putih
Menyala-nyala
Pada jalan bata merah Lombard Street aku berbagi
Tentang cinta dan kau yang terlupa
Pada rumah-rumah krem-coklat tua
Pada jendela-jendela besarnya yang berbisik
Bunga-bunga dalam bukit Rusia
         menurun pada Lombard Street
Aku terkesima bias cahaya pagi
Bersama kau kembali di Lombard Street

Kinds of Poem

A Haiku:

The leaves sing for me

As I open the window

Then breeze blinks gently

A Cinquain: 

The Dream

As I sleep

Giggling, dancing

Swirling with the wind

Wandering by rivers

Fluttering in the calm breeze

Then falling on glittering clouds

Then canoeing through rossy canals

But then I crawl and slobber in blanket

Oh, sad

Getting Started

Whoa... it was 3.12 AM when I started to write on my blog. Freaky... Sleep over.
Aku bahkan tidak bisa memejamkan mataku. Kulihat temanku tidur pulas didekatku. Tapi tetap saja, ini menyebalkan ketika aku benar-benar lelah, dan aku juga tidak bisa tidur. Huh, angin malam bertiup dari jendela kamar yang terbuka, dan berbagai suara membuatku sedikit merinding.
Okay, aku memutuskan untuk memakasa diriku tidur walaupun ayam jantan sudah akan berbunyi.
Good Dawn...
