Butterfly Effect

Tahukah kamu tentang Butterfly Effect?

Sebuah teori yang, kira-kira, menyatakan bahwa sebuah perubahan kecil dapat mengakibatkan perbedaan yang besar kemudian.

Ilustrasinya: kepakan sayap kupu-kupu yang pagi ini kamu temui di taman, dapat mengakibatkan badai di Afrika Selatan sebulan kemudian.

Lalu saya membayangkan.

Berawal dari sesuatu yang simpel. Tak signifikan. Sesuatu seperti senyumnya. Dua tiga kali lirikan mata, atau sapa basa-basi berdua. Kamu tidak pernah tahu.

Mungkin sehari atau dua, seminggu, bahkan berbulan-bulan kemudian. Hal-hal kecil yang bahkan tidak kamu sadari itu, ternyata terakumulasi... menjadi badai sejuta kepak sayap kupu-kupu di perutmu.

It's Random


I hope I don't get it mixed up. Who knows if sometimes your brain does some slipped-memory tricks and you'd start to remember it as look like a man, act like a boss, think like a girl, and work like a lady(boy).

......

Sorry, I don't know what I wrote. I was sleeping and suddenly awakened, so I decide to just write this meaningless post. It's 12-12-12 anyway, and it's sort of a waste to not posting anything at this so-called beautiful date.

Ah, before it ends, please let me say: happy 12-12-12! :)

Kotak Kenangan


Awalnya aku hanya iseng, sungguh. Entah kenapa waktu itu aku sedang ingin membuka dan membaca surat-surat lama yang tersimpan di inbox e-mail. Tentu saja masih tersimpan di sana; bukti-bukti korespondensi aku dan dia selama menjalani hubungan jarak jauh kami yang pertama.

Surat terakhir dikirim olehku, menceritakan perjalanan dua hari satu malam dalam rangka malam keakraban jurusan. Kulampirkan pula beberapa foto hasil dokumentasi perjalanan, dan tentu saja fotoku yang berpose narsis sendirian. Spesial diambil oleh temanku yang berprofesi sambilan sebagai fotografer amatir karena aku ingin dia melihat aku dalam penampilan terbaikkuberharap semoga bisa mengatasi rindu yang terhambat kapabilitas untuk bertemu. Aku menunggu kurang lebih dua minggu demi balasan yang tak kunjung datang, lalu aku mengerti: ia sudah tidak lagi peduli.

Are You Ready?

Some people are finicky about going to the theater alone, but I’m not. Because when the lights go down, the only relationship left in the room is the one between the movie and me.  Anna and The French Kiss
I think I'm going to do it again soon. Going to theater alone, I mean. I did it a while back as a form of getaway.

No, there's nothing wrong with my life I need to get away from, and it's not like I don't have friends to accompany me to go. Things are just simpler when you're doing it by yourself, right? Well, several things. And this going-to-see-a-movie thingy is one of them. 

One thing that concerns me is the chance of surprise encounter with my other friends in theater. They're going to ask questions like, "Why are you here alone?" with the unnecessary pitying look on their face. Because they are with their beloved friends, or boyfriend/girlfriend, or crush, or family, or anyone, while I stand there completely alonewhich is not a sin, by the way.

Now that I think, does what everyone think of me really matter? If the answer is no, then I'm ready to go. :)

Inattentional Blindness

From Scholarpedia.org : "Inattentional blindness is the failure to notice a fully-visible, but unexpected object because attention was engaged on another task, event, or object."

Ah, I wonder how does it feel to be the fully-visible but unexpected object?




Just kidding. I know how it feels.
