C’est La Vie

There are times in our lives when we are swept over by raging emotions

Times when we are overwhelmed by sadness, overcome by misery

 Times when we feel that we are loved,

only for the things that they could get from us

and not for who we really are.

Untuk Para Penulis…

 وما من كاتب إلا سيفني

 Tidaklah seorang yang menulis melainkan ia akan mati dan semu..

ويبقى الدهر ما كتبت يداه

 Dan goresan penanya akan tetap ada meski waktu telah berjalan dan berlalu..

I Knew I Loved You Before I Met You..

My baby daughter, when you point to your belly button and ask “what’s this” with a grin on your face, my mouth says “belly button,” but my heart says:

“This is the mark on your body that connects me to you. It doesn’t fade with age. It will always be there to remind you that my lifeblood is your lifeblood. You are a part of me; you grew with me, you ate with me, you cried with me. I knew you before I met you, I loved you before I knew you..”

Godaan itu Bernama Dunia Maya

Suddenly this afternoon, something makes me wonder. Really really wonder.. Jika ada seorang ibu rumah tangga yang hari-harinya nggak lepas dari gadget dan selalu mantengin socmed; entah itu nyetatus, ngelike, komen, ngetwit, ritwit, bales komen, upload pic, chat di BBM, Whatsapp, etc etc.. hampir 24 jam, always online.

Kecuali saat matanya terpejam di malam hari, kemudian ketika membuka mata di pagi hari, benda yang pertama kali dicari adalah: gadget.

And these questions remain in my head …
