The Things I'll tell My Kids


This blogpost is a combination between my idealistic views and the hope of tomorrow. It's about the things I'll tell my kids.

1. Believe that whatever u have,there's always someone that has better things than you..but most of all,there's always someone out there than has none of the things that makes you happy.

2. Believe in whatever God or god or even gods you want..believe in anything that brings peace into your life.. I dont care about what you call your God,I only care that you believe in your God and that He or She will push you towards goodness.

3. Believe in your senses,even if no one can feel or see or taste or hear what you sense.

4. Believe that every sense you choose comes with a consequence. Your parents might not find out,but karma is more than a spank in the butt.

5. Believe in karma. Believe hard that whatever you do comes back around, so make sure all you push out there is good things. I dont need you to fear hell or to dream about heaven.. karma is as near as the next bus stop.

6. Believe that your childhood is a product of two people working very hard to provide for you and make you happy. The things that made you sad back then, will probably go back around to your head and make you understand the real world outside the bubble that you're brought up in.

7. Crying is okay. Crying is cool. Its not a sign of weakness. Its a sign that you're human and every human needs a time-out. Cry,stop,breathe,then rearrange..and of course, move on.

8. Believe that its okay to love, and to be heart broken. Believe that your soulmate doesnt have to be that someone you want to spend your life with. Your soulmate can be your parents,or bestfriend, or even your dog. Or better yet..yourself.

9. Its a hard world out there. I know. Everyone knows. There's war going on & probably will always go on. But dont go out there and turn bitter..go out there and be better than them.

10. You can fall in love with anyone that brings you happiness, that makes you a better person, that don't beat you up and treat you like poo. Anyone at all. But with choice always comes consequences...sometimes, every consequences is worth it,someday.

11. Respect everyone...no..no...respect everything. Unless its then proven otherwise in the future.

12. Fairy tales are made up. There's no happy ending. Because one day everyone you've loved or love will go away..but move on. The whole world won't stop moving just cause you're sad.

13. Hormones are a bitch. You'll be bitchy and a bastard, or if you're lucky..you'll be both at the same time. But it's gonna pass. Everything will pass.

14. You weren't born with a price tag. So make sure you know how to treat yourself. You're not damaged goods, you are a piece of extremely extremely expensive jewelry.

15. No one is born stupid. They just grew up lazy.

16. Be nice.. be nice.. be nice... Give then receive. Or just give when you can.. someone else will give it back,someday.

17. It's okay to hate something. But it's not okay to make it a burden. Take another way..there is always another way.

18. Drugs will in the end kill you. Trust me.. if it doesn't kill your body, it'll kill your brain.. if it doesn't kill your brain, the worst thing that can happen is that it'll kill your soul & your smile. Trust me on this.. trust me with all your life.

19. You are always good enough. But there's always room for improvement. Always in all ways possible. But if someone says you're not good enough, prove them you are.

20. Happiness is yours to choose. Always. Don't ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever let someone else or anything in this world bring your faith and belief and happiness down. You are worthy of happiness, make sure you remember this...and remember to tell everyone you know about this too. Everyone is worthy of being happy. Yeah, no matter what happened. Or no matter what has happened. Everyone is worthy of going to bed and waking up to find happiness.

For now,that is all.. But if i have to write a book about this.. there's a thousand things worth sharing with your kids. I'm not being wise...I just want the future to get it right.

On Point-of-V(you)s

  As we try to calmly settle ourselves down into another lockdown,  I find myself, as usual, revisit the things that has emerged itself into a pattern. And being the pattern loving human that I am, who always tries to see familiarity in things unfamiliar, I think it sort of gives a little dot in my GPS of understanding the grand scenario. However that might end up looking like. I understand, Picking out and believing the unfamiliar will somehow be something that makes sense is sort of like a leap of faith. More so in times like these,  Where we have extra time to listen or read other's pattern of thoughts (which might be total unfamiliarity to us), can get a little overwhelming. From the multiple voices screaming "jump now" or "don't jump" or even a random question "we can jump?". All of a sudden you're at a point of being annoyed by all the different voices saying a myriad different things from mismatched directions at about 100 kms per hour,

Baby, it aint over till it's over

Let me tell you this in advance.. the title above is from Lenny Kravitz's song, "It ain't over till it's over". And I'm going to tell you this in advance, when I die, please put that song on. Cos baby..it ain't over till it's over. Do anything to my body when I die... I don't care. Like an old broken down car, i'm the driver..and that piece of junk...well...u can just leave it there to rot, I don't care. Or burn it. Decapitate it. I really don't care what you do to me after I die. I'm far away and gone. I am probably floating around, waiting to live again, or just hanging around you...watching you as you sleep...and shower...and eat...................... BOO!!! HA! I dont really know where I'm going with this blog post. I'm not making fun of death or anything. Who in their right mind would ever make fun of death? I do sometimes though...to be honest. I try to look at it lightly, to get to know death. I'm weird that way.

Hitam dan putih

Mungkin karena pekerjaan saya yg enggak umum, orang2 yg ketemu saya suka banyak yg nanya2 tentang keseharian saya. I don't mind, if I can let you borrow what I do, I would. Dari sekian banyak pertanyaan yg orang suka tanya, ada satu pertanyaan yg sering ditanyain.  "Jadi kamu bisa tau mana orang yg jahat?" First of all, definisi jahat menurut saya sangat subjektif. Akan sangat beda kalau yg nanya adalah perempuan yg baru diselingkuhin dan laki-laki yg baru dipermalukan oleh temannya di depan bos mereka. Dari pertanyaan yg sebenernya bisa dijawab cukup dengan "iya" atau "tidak" ternyata enggak cukup karena the term "jahat" sangat luas.  Second of all, mungkin karena saya terbiasa - atau mungkin membiasakan diri - melihat karakter orang through the bigger picture, bener-bener untuk menentukan seseorang baik atau jahat sangat susah. Ini buat saya pribadi lho.  Tapi here's an example.  Ada seorang karyawan, si A misalny
