Apa Kabar, Bo?

  Apa kabar, Bo? Kemarin saya ke Gramedia. Sanctuary saya pas jaman SD. Dulu waktu Hero Swalayan masih ada di Gatot Subroto. Biasanya saya ke sana setelah ngumpulin duit jajan seminggu dan bisa buat beli komik. Ngga seperti sekarang, dulu banyak komik yang sampul plastiknya terbuka, jadi saya puas-puasin baca sebelum akhirnya beli cuma satu.  Jaman itu majalah Bobo tidak setipis sekarang. Apalagi pas edisi khusus, tebalnya bisa ngalahin kamus. Hahaha, bercanda ya, Bo. Bobo benar-benar teman bermain dan belajar saya, ada beberapa dongeng dunia yang sampai detik ini saya masih ingat. Ada juga dongeng lokal yang jadi favorit saya. Mungkin penulis Bobo sudah lupa, ada sebuah cerpen, yang memuat cerita ibu petani yang asik bekerja hingga anaknya kelaparan. Saya ingat ada syairnya: tingting gelinting, perutku sudah genting, kelaparan mau makan. Saya kemudian meniru syair tersebut dan dimarahin Mama. Beliau bilang, ngga pantas didenger orang. Oh ya, Bo. Mama adalah orang yang berjasa...

Nothing Good Happen After 2 AM

on
It's nearly 2 am. And my eyes still wide open. No, actually, it's not my eyes who wanna awake. It's my brain who wont stop thinking. About some boys i hope, but nay. All my works occupied my brain's space!! Im calculating now. That magazine, this magazine, that independent regulatory organization, that under graduate thesis, this brand, that brand. Men, as if i have more than 24 hours a day. Pain.

It's my fault, since i cant blame anybody else, i just cant say NO, everytime work offers came. Mind you i just work in one magazine as fulltime employee. And it's never about the money. I've got this part in my life that i love challanges, as long as it's not engage me longer. So after one or two articles, im free and get fee.

I love to meet new people, hearing new ideas and try to execute it. Oh, im so a hardcore fan of learning. Still, i need to sleep. Dear brain, please shut down a while. But i cant! Im full with ideas and i need to write it. My oh my, when i write it, i cant stop. Seriously, i need to sleep!

I learn that the only way i can sleep tonight -or very early morning- is by shut down my netbook first. It just there's so many words in my brain, they screaming my pain, keep going, keep going type down line by line. They hear no pleas, they want things to be done. Again i beg, they wont get me free. They have an idea, an idea must be done.

Nothing good happen after 2 am. A bro told same story as his mother. I got this curse, to work when others snores. My work is a pain. They keep my brain spin.

No, actually whenever i pass my sleep hours, i tend to keep awake all night. The night is good, but tomorrow is brighter. Maybe, if i can finish that work, that work, that work, that work, before 2 am.

So be gone. The night is on.
