Bed Rest

When I fell ill I simply hate other people staring at me like I could see their vision, there's this judgment I was just a fraction of weak body to which depended on the remorse. As the time goes by, I couldn't care less, no more, what's in their mind, for their lack of empathy which is beyond my control. One day, when I was about 5 or 6 years old, I had asthma. I was laying on a couch while my mom gave her support to help me took some medicine. I posed a question, "Why I very often stayed home, forcing myself to have bed rest all day long with that sort of bizarre position, shovelled medicine and water to my mouth at the same time, savored the plain porridges, etc?" My mom tucked me into the bed. Then she said "you're chosen to be a strong girl." While got herself all set to be off to office, she added "I'll see you soon. You'll be alright. I'd prepared some pills on the table, take it within the next eight hours." She kissed me goodbye, left me with hours of unspeakable pain. 


Anyway, pills always transformed itself into a demonic spirit when I need to swallow it. No matter how much water I drank, it won't work that easy. It always got stuck and made me bang my head against a brick. My mom came up with a solution. I drip small amount of water on a tablespoon, then I soaked the pills in the water for a few minutes until the pills totally melted. I could eat sugar afterwards. Mom reminded me too not to drink too much water to prevent nausea and vomiting.


Now after 3 days of Covid19 vaccination, I don't feel comfortable for I need to put up with its side effects. I got fever, migraine, swollen arms (it is exactly on the spot where the doctor gave me the shot), and experienced shortness of breath. It was my fault, rather than having a bed rest, I went to a gym center. The next day after vaccination, my body reacts to it. What if I have asthma again like I had two years ago? Surely asthma won't be easy to deal with.

Puisi Terjemahan William Wordsworth - I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

Hari ini, saya mencoba lagi menerjemahkan sebuah sajak berjudul I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud yang ditulis oleh William Wordsworth. Selamat membaca kawan! Semoga apa yang kita baca hari ini, membuat kita merasa penuh dan bahagia.  *** Umpama Segumpal Awan Aku Berkelana Aku berkelana umpama segumpal awan Yang melayang di ketinggian melampaui lembah dan bukit, Ketika tak sengaja kudapati sejauh mata memandang, Sehamparan bunga-bunga daffodil; Di dekat danau, di bawah rimbun pepohonan, Bunga-bunga daffodil melambai dan menari dikibaskan angin. Tak henti-hentinya laksana bintang-gemintang yang berkilatan Dan mengerjap di keluasan bima sakti, Bintang-gemintang itu, meregang dalam lintasan tanpa batas Di sepanjang tepian danau yang luas: Sekilas kusaksikan berpuluh ribu, Bunga-bunga daffodil saling beradu lewat tarian yang begitu lincah. Ombak di sebelahnya menggulung dan pecah; namun bunga-bunga daffodil Menghempaskan kilauan ombak itu dalam sukacita: Seorang penyair menjumpai dirinya te...

Dialog pada Diri

Saya percaya bahwa berdialog dengan diri dapat meningkatkan keintiman dengan diri sendiri. Biasanya, saya memulai dengan mempersiapkan satu atau dua pertanyaan, lalu dalam keheningan membiarkan diri sendiri secara luwes menjawabnya satu-persatu. Atau bisa saja bukan jawaban yang diperoleh, melainkan pertanyaan-pertanyaan baru yang lebih rumit dari sebelumnya. Tapi tidak mengapa, yang demikian itu membuat saya belajar untuk paham bahwasanya diri ini, terkadang bertingkah layaknya anak kecil yang ingin tahu banyak hal. Ia akan mengutarakan banyak pertanyaan pada siapa pun. Bukan semata untuk memuaskan keingintahuan, tapi juga untuk menyadari betapa saya tidak mengetahui apa-apa kecuali mulai melatih diri untuk lebih banyak bersukur, mengurangi intensitas mengeluh, tetap fokus dan melakukan yang terbaik pada hari ini, bila terjadi guncangan gunakan momen itu untuk berbenah dan tetap tenang, serta membiasakan diri untuk percaya pada diri sendiri untuk menyembuhkan luka-luka. Prosesnya tent...

And I Said Yes, I Will

Mi amor, my love, Daddy K I said yes to our next journey, thick and thin I said yes to our progress, I'm all set I said yes to the mornings with tears and migraines  and to the nights with hugs and gentle kisses  I said yes to a lifetime prayer till Jannah This ring has given us power and awareness, love and affection, passion and patience, anxiety and peace, uncertainty and assurance, fears and courage, doubt and commitment, comfort over stormy days The knot we tie in this ring, cannot be wiped out Our loyalty worth more than anything we have And may Allah send us guidance, always Oct 2025
