DECISION, THE ALCHEMIST AND D'CINNAMONS

Ring, Ring
It's you again
heartz Popz
I loved to hear you
It's been all day I've been waiting for you


Decision. Life is always about making a decision. This is not the first time I write about this. But I always get excited everytime I talk about decision. For me, it is one of the most fascinating aspect in our life. Every second, we made decision. Throughout our life, the decision we made is uncountable. And what makes it fun, it's not the outcome that really matter sometime. It's how we took and come out with the decision that really matters. Some decisions are trivial. For example, what should we eat tonight (thought I dated someone who really concern about what she gonna eat everytime. "mau yang seger2 mbim...")[1]. Some are important. For example, indomie kari ayam or mie sedap. Ok, let say, going as a full-time graduate right after graduation or going to earn the first dollar with full-time employment.

"hello!" You call my name
so much story you shared with me
you said a lot to me about Girls..
Oh, it's so nice


and every beauty thing they did to you
don't stop and tell me more..!!


Two of my tripod legs are in the middle of making important decisions. Each of them face two important decisions to be made. For the first one, I guess they know the answer, they just have to do what they have to do. And I know they are reluctant to ask my advise, cos they know my answer will be very selfish. HEY COME ONE, YOU TWO ARE IMPORTANT FOR ME. OF COURSE I WANT TWO OF YOU ALWAYS NEAR ME . But, I know that the second decision is the one that matter the most. Dan yah most of the time, they tell me their difficulties in making the right one.

Well, I am gonna repeat my answer to you two here. It's not that I am tired of telling you two how I make my decisions. It just that maybe sometime I am not available. You can just visit this page and can guess what I am going to tell you two.

Loving you it hurts sometimes
I'm standing here you just don't buy
I'm always there you just don't feel
or you just don't wanna feel

Don’t wanna be hurt that way
It doesn’t mean I’m giving up
I wanna give you more and more and more


Buat gue (pake bahasa Indonesia, gak mungkin dong gue ngomong sama loe berdua pake bahasa inggris), tiap keputusan itu bisa masuk dua kategori. Kategori right or wrong dan kategori good and bad. Bedanya, sebuah keputusan bisa dibilang benar atau salah, kalau keputusan itu dibuat saat loe HARUS membuat keputusan itu. Sementara sebuah keputusan itu bisa dinilai baik atau buruk, saat loe mengambil keputusan saat loe sebetulnya tidak harus mengambil keputusan itu. Contoh, misal khan di suatu saat, Alesandra Ambrosio dan Adrianna Lima dateng ke gue, dengan Victoria Secret Lingerie terseksi mereka tentunya, lalu memaksa gue untuk memilih satu diantara mereka, atau gue akan kehilangan keduanya. Tentunya gue HARUS dong milih salah satu dari mereka. Rugi besar kalo nggak [2]. Sementara misal gue akan menikah dengan Titi Kamal, tiba tiba dijalan gue melihat Luna Maya agak flirting sama gue, gue bisa saja mengambil keputusan untuk meinggalkan Titi untuk Lumay. Tapi tidak harus, yah dapet Titi juga lumayan ko'.

Bam!Bam! You break my heart
You said, "Girl.. I'm in love with her..."
But it's alright
I'm Still alive
Yea... Yea....

and aLL the beauty thing she did to you
Don't stop and tell me more...!!

[D'Cinnamons, Loving You]

Prinsip gue adalah untuk push everything to the edge, gue mengambil keputusan saat gue HARUS mengambil keputusan. Alasannya, gue percaya ada beberapa hal yang kita harus biarkan kepada takdir untuk menentukan. Kalau salah satu pilihan mengilang, tentunya itu memang bukan jalan kita.

Lalu bagaimana kalau kita sudah HARUS membuat keputusan itu? Gue percaya akan takdir. Gue percaya Tuhan dan alam semesta yang dibuatnya ini akan membantu kita untuk mendapatkan takdir kita sesuai dengan yang kita layak dapatkan. Gue akuin The Alchemistnya Paulo Coelho adalah salah satu buku yang menginsipire gue secara gila-gilaan. Gue percaya bahwa kita selalu tau keputusan apa yang kita harus ambil kalau kita mendengarkan hati kita. Dunia akan memberi pertanda buat kita keputusan mana yang harus kita ambil. Dalam agama kita, kita diajarkan untuk shalat Istikharah khan? Menurut saya, Shalat ini punya tujuan untuk menguatkan pertanda mana yang baik dan mana yang buruk. Jalan yang terbaik tetap ada disitu. Jadi saran gue, sabar, jangan gegabah, jangan mengambil keputusan saat loe tidak harus mengambil keputusan itu, tunggu aja sembari berdoa. Minta dikuatkan tanda2nya. Kalau gue gak salah sih, kitab suci kita juga mengajarkan bahwa alam ini penuh pertanda untuk orang-orang yang beriman (bener gak sih, maaf kan saya sisters, saya tidak cukup berilmu untuk ingat ayat mana dari surat mana).

Untuk mengakhiri, saya mau mengutip sedikit dari buku Alchemist tersebut, maaf gue cuma ada yang bahasa Indonesia:
"Kalau emas yang kau temukan itu terbuat dari unsur murni,maka dia tidak akan rusak. Dan kau bisa selalu kembali. Tapi kalau emas yang kau temukan itu hanya sepuhan belaka, seperti kilasan bintang jatuh, kau tidak akan menemukan apa-apa saat kau pulang nanti".

These are the words that give me the spirit to fight till the very last drop.

For two of my tripod legs.


[1] Ayooo ada yang ngerasa gak?

[2] Just in case, you are wondering, I choose Ale. Mukanya keibuan (taelah keibuan), kalo Adrianna sih mukanya bisa bikin gue gak kerja kerja. Maunya d rumah, bikin anak.
