On 27 Things in Life

Keisha Aozora on 27 things in life:

1. Personality. I don't believe personality is the true self. It might relate to the true self, but personalit is only persona - a mask. People always say I look profoundly strong and independent. Really? I doubt that. Maybe it's just my haircut.

2. Strength. What is strength to you? For me it is not being the most healthy of all, but being in pain over and over again, but recover and able to do things like the healthiest fucker in the world. Strength also means fulfilling your promises, especially the ones you say to yourself.

3. Mood. A character in my favorite book said we ain't got time for that. I agree. Mood is not a good reason to start or stop working on things. I'm still working on it.

4. Coffee. My brain is so triggered by coffee. I don't generalize myself with everybody else, but it's better not to have coffee than to have a bad one.

5. Woman. I admire women. I watch their body languages, glare at their smiles, and I feel that women are such magic. Maybe it's not the gender, but the femininity. Oh, look at J.K Rowling, Audrey Hepburn, Frida Kahlo, or your mom.

6. Teaching. Teaching is impossible. Only learning is possible. I quoted that from one of my favorite author, Osho. I teach whenever I meet learners. My students are more significant than me, and they are very precious. If you are a jerk, please, choose another profession. Don't teach.

7. Ethnicity. I'm a proud Asian. Tell me I'm a fool, I don't care. It feels really good to be Asian, to be used to dive deeper inward than explore outward. Travelling is important. But to have adventure with your inner spirit is - more important.

8. Family. I'm rooted. I snuggle with my family like a puppy no matter what have happened through out our life. I talk with them. We sit and talk. I am grateful to be in my family.

9. Hope. I think hope arises from experience, and not vice versa. I hope to help more people, because I have experienced helping and that feels really good. You hope to be rich, because you have tasted it. When I was obese I didn't hope to be skinny. I just hope to be beautiful. Without my knowledge, because I was already beautiful. But people told me I was not.

10. Thinking. Think for yourself. For God's sake, think for yourself. You can not rely on others opinion, I see my acquintances and most of the people just say "Amen!" to every information and thoughts they hear. It's definitely chaotic, but they feel it's a normal life.

It Has Been A Lot!

Wow, where should I start? So my comeback to dance class after a month break (sebulan aje dibahas...gimana lebih? Udah jadi buku keleus :D) had been a wild ride. Right away rehearsal for a performance and coordinating an event at the same time. Berto gave me this job from IDF, where I worked as P.I.C for Dance Writing Workshop. My girl IKAN said why am I taking the job if I am so busy? The answer is clear: I need to pay college. Ikan said she can just lend me money and I can focus on my thesis. God, bless this human that is my best friend. That's very kind and thoughtful of her. Anyway, I took the job so I was running 2 events at the same time. One in Cikini, Central Jakarta and one in SOM, South Tangerang. I became an adept Commuter Line user. I no longer mistaken peron 1 with peron 2 and silly things like that, like not knowing which gate I should enter after scanning my card to enter the peron. Duh. Duh 100x. I wasn't particularly on diet but I really didn't want to ea...

What is happiness? It sounds like a snack.

I would, like usually, open this post by saying "Things are crazy". Yes, I don't know are things really crazy or is it just me. I think it's the latter. Life appears as surprises to me. And I act like a door, opening this tunnel, closing another one. I don't feel dull, and I can't say my days have been dull for they are full with challenges. But I have been so alone. This also sounds weird. Since when that I'm not alone? I always pull myself back from any social event. I hang out alone. I guess the last time I had a good time outside the house/office/campus with another human being was the last Saturday in January, so it's a month ago. It is true that if I just ask, I will get people willing to go with me. But I am the pickiest picky pick ever because most of the times when I don't pick, I get bored with dull conversations, or a view of someone watching his/her phone like there's nothing else to see. So all this time I hang out alone. Mos...

yang hilang dan jadi debu

ada sesuatu yang diam-diam kupercaya walau ia hilang ditelan bisingnya Jakarta: Islam ada cara hidup yang sederhana, menawarkan kesadaran untuk mampu mengendalikan kecepatan, dengan disiplin lima kali dalam sehari, dan tidak lebih lama dari basa-basi ada cara bertutur yang tegas dan disetujui tubuh, istighfar membuatku sadar, bahwa yang sakit bisa pulih tasbih menunduk-daguku, bahwa seniman itu sebuah entitas hamdalah hangatkan bahuku, ada yang Maha kendali di atas kendaliku
