One Venti Each Is Never Enough

Jadi pertemuan kami saat ini dan selanjutnya bukan lagi soal sekadar berapa lama, atau sebanyak apa durasi kami akan bertemu. Tentu tidak, meskipun saya menghitung perbandingannya ada di angka 1 : 13. Jujur saja ini membuat saya sesak. Tapi yang mesti diingat adalah kami punya tugas, menjalankan professional life dan private life.

Kami berdua menggeluti bidang yang harus dijalankan secara 'to be present'. Ketika badan kami sedang menjalani professional life, artinya pikiran pun dilimpahkan sebanyak 90% kurang lebih untuk itu. Waktu libur pun tidak banyak, ditambah tugas yang kerap dibawa pulang, tuntutan menjaga kondisi tubuh agar tetap prima, dll. Tidak jarang ketika bertemu, keduanya sedang dalam keadaan super penat.

Jadi semalam, di kedai kopi yang secara pribadi saya meyakini takaran kopi dalam tiap gelasnya hanya beberapa persen dari isi secara keseluruhan, kami sempat berbincang ringan mengenai hal-hal baru di tempat bekerja. One venti each is never enough. Kebetulan saya sedang training mengajar, dan Mas dengan tanggung jawab barunya di wok kitchen. Padatnya jadwal yang lebih banyak digunakan untuk professional life membuat saya cukup anxious. Basically I'm not ready for some changes. Hubungan saya dengan professional dan private life berada dalam love-hate relationship.

Untuk menjadi adaptable tidak gampang. Namun yang membuat saya terus jalan adalah kami berdua harus maju, dan mengorbankan waktu adalah salah satu nya. Seperti biasa, hal-hal semacam ini kerap membuat saya kembali pada kebiasaan merengek. Suatu hari nanti, sooner or later, akan indah pada waktunya.

What Does Friend Mean?

Before asking about what does friend mean, let's sit, ask, reflect, and be honest. How well we treated ourselves so far? Did we rest in an eight solid hour? Did we eat healthy food? Did we train our muscles? Did we respond to things around us with tranquility to gain the bigger picture? Did we respect ourselves with kindness and genuineness? Were we dare enough to say no when things weren't our cups of tea? 

Act of Service

Several times I asked my fiance why he rarely gave me flowers, chocolate, cake, and other things related to sweet things linked to Valentine's Day. And I think I got the answer now. I love to observe people, even somehow my awareness gone with no trace lol. I think it was rooted from his culture as well. He's patient enough to do house chores even if he had a lot to prepare for his works. Several times I went to his house, and I was amazed by how clean and neat it was. He has no housekeeper to assist him doing those stuff, he did it by himself. Tried to wipe my finger on his cabinet or tv, and I found nothing. You know, when we cooked together, he didn't ask and force me to help. He needed me to just watch him dancing while cooking, listen to him singing song he composed by himself, and to show off how he seasoned the food so it would taste incredibly delicious. He also taught me how to take care of white blouse and T-shirt effortlessly. Unfortunately, since I had a lot on ...
