Small World

Iya nih... semakin ke sini (ngerti maksutnya kan ya? hehehe) 'dunia' gue semakin 'mengecil' hehehe. Putaran orang - orang yang dikenal semakin 'deket'. Kalo di dunia kerja, apalagi bidang yang sama sih dah pasti muter situ - situ aja ya... Kalo yang gue alamin, 'puteran'nya lumayan jauh walopun ketemu juga pada akhirnya.

Jadi, kasus terakhir gue (gaya banget ya hihihi) adalah... minggu lalu waktu hubby jemput, gue dikenalin ke seseorang yang ternyata temen SMA nya kakak ipar gue. Ngobrolin soal rumah, ternyata lagi saudaranya dia satu komplek sama rumah gue. Waktu dia nyebutin nama saudaranya, ternyata juga saudaraan sama salah satu klien gue. Gue tanya dia kenal sama klien gue itu ato gak...

"Dia sepupu gue..."

Oh... blum selesai takjub, "Kenal bosnya dia, Zy?"

"Iya, kenal..."

"Nah, itu kakak gue."

Whaaa...! waktu ketemu kakak ipar gue yang jadi temen SMA-nya itu, gue dapet info lagi kalo klien gue yang jadi bos-nya klien gue (halah ribet) ternyata temen SMA-nya kakak sepupu gue dari pihak hubby. Nah...

Bulan lalu juga gue dapet temen baru yang ternyata temen sekolahnya calon kakak ipar gue dan temen kuliahnya kakak ipar gue yang satu lagi.

Tapi dari sekian banyak cerita pertemanan gue yang muter - muter, ada satu yang muternya 'seru' banget...

Yaitu, temen SD-nya sahabat gue, temen kursus dan gebetannya temen SMA gue, juga temen deketnya sahabat pena (pada masanya waktu itu) gue, dan... oom-nya dia ternyata temen SMA nyokap gue... huehehehehe

Tips for Better Life

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.

3. Go to bed earlier and get more sleep.

4. When you wake up in the morning complete the following: 'Today, my primary purpose is to __________.'

5. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.

6. Play more games and read more books than you did last year.

7. Make time to practice meditation, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.

8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.

9. Dream more while you are awake.

10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured or packaged in factories.

11. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds & walnuts.

12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.

13. Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new energy flow into your life.

14. Don't waste your energy on gossip, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.

15. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

16. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

17. Smile and laugh more. It will keep the NEGATIVE BLUES away.

18. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

20. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

21. You won't win every argument. Agree to disagree.

22. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.

23. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

25. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'

26. Forgive everyone for everything.

27. What other people think of you is none of your business.

28. Remember, God heals everything.

29. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

30. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

31. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

32. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

33. The best is yet to come.

34. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

35. Do the right thing!

36. Call your family often. Or email them to death!

37. Each night before you go to bed complete the following:

I am thankful for __________.

Today I accomplished _________.

38. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.

39. Enjoy the ride. You only have one ride through life so make the most of every moment, every single day.

Membaca Promosi

Kemarin malam, pulang kantor, tante gue lagi sibuk ngeluarin barang - barang dari kantong plastik salah satu hypermarket. Abis belanja ceritanya...

Gak lama beliau [halah...] mulai berisik, "Kok di itungnya satu - satu sih? Harusnya kan dua diitung satu. Tadi di displaynya gitu,"

"Kenapa emangnya?"

Trus dia nunjukin dua paket pembersih lantai - dua pembersih lantai digabung jadi satu, di tengah - tengahnya ada sikat kamar mandi satu -, satu lagi paket pembersih lantai yang dikemas dalam satu kantong plastik isi tiga.

"Kalo dah diiket gini, harusnya itungannya satu kan ya?"

Mmm, harusnya siy...

"Masa' ini tetep diitung satu - satu, berarti bohong dong,"

Mmm... gue ikutan ngeliat struk belanjaannya. Iya, semuanya diitung satu - satu.

"Mang tadi gak nanya dulu?" tanya gue, tapi blum merhatiin barang - barangnya.

"Tapi kan tulisannya gitu," tante gue masiy emosi.

"Ya, kita balik aja ke sana tanya," kata hubby kalem.

"Bentar..." gue ambil deh 'tu barang - barang belanjaan, gue baca deh bulatan kecil yang ada di pojok kiri kemasan - kemasan itu.

BELI DUA PCS GRATIS SIKAT, ituw tulisannya. Trus yang satu set di kantong plastik BELI DUA PCS GRATIS SATU PCS. Langsung gue cengar - cengir.

"Ya, bener bayarnya satu - satu..." gue mulai usaha nerangin, "Tulisannya promosinya gak salah, beli dua gratis sikat, ini kan dua pembersih lantai, dapet sikat satu. Kalo beli satu ya, gak dapet sikat. Ini juga beli dua gratis satu, benerkan satu paket ini isinya tiga produk."

"Tapi tulisan d sananya..."

"Iya, jadi orang ***** nya, langsung gabungin produknya dua - dua sekalian sikatnya biar nti di kasir gak repot lagi."

"O, gitu... Di bohongin dong berarti."

"Gak dibohongin sih... tapi kurang jeli aja baca tulisan promosinya hehehehe,"

"Huh... gak suka!"

Wakakaka... tetep emosi tante gue. Dasar ibu - ibu gak bisa liat tulisan 'gratis' dikit langsung kalap.

The Dark Knight

Nomat The Dark Knight pulang kantor sama hubby minggu lalu, dapet yang jam 18.45.

Berbekal seember popcorn extra butter hehehe, kita masuk agak telat dikit. Dapet tempat duduk di E, sedeng deh gak terlalu belakang gak di depan pula. Mulailah kita nonton, Christian Bale (Bruce Wayne / Batman), Heath Ledger (The Joker), Aaron Eckahrt (Harvey Dent), Michael Cain (Alfred), Maggie Gyllenhaal (Rachel), Gary Oldman (Lt. James Gordon), Morgan Freeman (Lucius Fox), dan yang lainnya.

Critanya dah pada tauw duongs... Batman pengen menghancurkan kejahatan di kota Gotham. Kerjasama bareng Letnan James Gordon dan Jaksa Harvey Dent, mereka berhasil menekan kriminalitas di kota Gotham. Tapi dengan munculnya Joker timbulah kekacauan baru. Dan... Batman berjuang keras melawan Joker...

Yang kocak, lagi seru - serunya nonton, tiba - tiba gambarnya freeze, dan muncul siluet lensa di layar. Whahahaha.... satu bioskop langusng berisik. Ada yang komen...

"Wah, bajakan niy..." hihihihi.

Gak lama muncul tulisan "Mohon Maaf Kenyamanan Anda Terganggu" di layar. Langsung yang cewek - cewek pada lari ke toilet, mumpung lagi freeze hehehe.

Tapi gue suka film Batman yang ini, walopun kata orang - orang kurang seru karna less action, lebih 'manusiawi' menurut gue hehehe. Heath Ledger juga oke banget mainnya... sayang dah gak ada ya...
