May and Every Celebrations We Have

Once I asked my students,

They were just five-year-old buddies

They listened to my question

Some would understand and respond

Some would sit and waited for me to call their name, and they would talk

Some were creating another conversation with their own imagination

This was the situation I would normally had during Circle Time 

: the time we had never really made a circle when we were together,

we sat, discussed about what we had

and what we wanted to during the day. 


"Good morning everybody how are you?" 


But today, it was different. 

One student didn't look excited. He frowned.

He said, "Daddy wasted lots of money for a Pokemon card. Yeah, the small-squared card."


Money couldn't buy happiness, that's what a wise man would say

But everything would work with money, said an ambitious man

He had fire reflecting in his eyes


Kids, why were we rushing to gather and discuss about things? 

Were we afraid of being forgotten and ignored?

Were we in dire needs of seeking validation?

Were we just enjoying the laughter, the moment we would create closeness without being afraid of judgment?


And today I recalled about one thing, time would be the space that accommodated us with understanding

: the lengthy conversation, they said

or the learning journey that was worth to walk.


Dear my future husband,

I was juggling today from 0 to 9, from A to Z

The kids, the rush, the questions, the responses were testing my patience

It was as thin as tissue

Before ending each session in the class

There was always someone who was always on my mind

I hope I will always be able to run to my safest spot

; the sanctuary where I could protect my tranquility, the silence in peace, the trigger in every single fight, freeze, fawn, and flight


Dear my future husband

Save the spot next to you on where I would be able to spend the rest of my life 

and dive in the forever-conversation

Because everything had started with language 

We translated all of the messages with headaches, cries, reconciliation, healing, intimacy that guided us going deeper

And the biggest agenda we have in this month is our forever rekindles, the day on which the world said hello to me and to you


Dear my future husband

I vividly remember how nights became softer when I was in your arms

And the day was so forgiving each time you cheered us up

And the sweetest of all was the kisses

We both are on the same page it was the biggest flex that we showed

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...

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

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...
