Frequently Said Words

Selamat malam :)

Aih, kangen berat sama blog ini. Sudah lama tidak bisa update apa-apa karena kemarin itu minggu ujian semester, dilanjutkan minggu liburan. Selama liburan di luar kota, laptop lebih sering dipakai onii-sama main game =w="

Nah, mumpung sekarang bisa ngetik, saya mau share sesuatu.

Kemarin saya mendapat satu sms unik dari seorang teman. Berisi sebuah pertanyaan, lebih menyerupai survei.

Kata dalam bahasa Inggris apa yang paling sering kamu ucapkan? Dan mengapa?

Saya benar-benar merasa tertampar membaca pertanyaan nan simpel tersebut. Segeralah saya mengingat-ingat. Apa ya? Well, at least saya menemukan dua, yang saya ucapkan tiap hari. (Warning, diucapkan dalam hati saja lho ya)

Pernyataan Maaf

Heya. Selamat malam. Ketemu lagi dengan saya di blog ini.
Oh, lupakan, saya terlalu banyak nonton TV.

Nggak ada kerjaan setelah belajar buat UAS, akhirnya saya baca-baca ulang blog ini. Terdengar narsis memang, jadi kepikiran apa ada orang lain yang punya kebiasaan seperti saya ini? Oke, itu hanya penjelasan latar belakang. Masuk ke bahasan utama.

Setelah membaca-baca ulang, beberapa post rasanya sedikit rasis(?). Bukan, bukan rasis yang beneran, cuma sedikit diskriminasi. Bahkan saya, yang sudah menulis post-post itu dengan segala kesadaran (kecuali kalau keadaan galau bisa bikin mabok), merasa bahwa mereka... sangat songong/sombong/sok sekali =)) [hey, deadly triple s!]

Beneran. Dibaca tuh seakan-akan saya, si penulis, adalah yang paling benar. Haha. Sifat alami saya, mungkin? Weleh, kalau iya, gawat ini.

Saya nggak bakal heran kalau ada yang merasa tersinggung. Saya nggak menyalahkan. Saya usahakan menerima komentar anda sebagai kritik membangun. Kalau perlu lain kali jitak saja saya secara langsung XD

Untuk itu saya minta maaf yang sebesar-besarnya untuk semua pembaca. Saya mengaku salah. Harusnya saya memikirkannya lebih matang, ya. Terkadang jari saya bergerak jauh lebih cepat dari otak dan mulut #slapfinger. 

[Poetry] Doubting Grey

When people start to doubt,
anxiety growing black in their wake,
unsure of which path to take,
the silent wing refuses to break,
then your heart shall breathe,
inside and out, transpiring grey and red,
until nothing remain,
until fate comes and saves

Because when I doubt, I write

Rank

Ranking 1. Apa yang timbul dalam pikiranmu jika melihat kata tersebut? Jawaban kalian, mungkin akan berkisar pada hebat, pintar, kerja keras, bakat. Benar, kalau hanya melihat angka 1 di belakang kata 'rangking', secara otomatis itulah yang akan tebersit. Lingkungan masyarakat membentuk nilai bahwa semua yang mendapat ranking 1 berarti punya kualitas terbaik. Kebanyakan orang--scratch that, semua orang--menganggap ranking 1 adalah akhir dari perjuangan, titik tertinggi yang bisa kamu dapat.

Bagi saya, ranking 1 sama sekali tidak ada artinya. Bagi saya, 'kualitas terbaik' itu semu.

Authority

Warning: colorful words, somewhat KHR-based

 

“Everyone!”

I tried to yell, raising my voice above the noise, but it was in vain. No one seemed to hear me, and they kept chattering away, very well ignoring me who was standing straight in the head of the table. Oh-My-God. I tried my best not to ruffle my own hair out of frustration. No, I must contain myself, and preserve my image. I am the damn next head of family, for fuck's sake.

Argh, why did I become the head, anyway? Scratch that, how did I become the head? I'm as well as the worst leader out there. Those elders must have lost their mind when they picked me. I knew there had been other candidates, but why did it have to be me?

Gosh.

I took a deep breath, a habit I'd grown to have ever since I got involved in this whole fiasco to calm myself. I reminded myself of my tutor. Of what she said about being a charismatic leader. She also told me that I had that quality in me, that's why I was chosen. I trusted her, thus tried to trust in myself.

So I tried again. Raising my voice, but not yelling. Ordering.

“Silence, everyone.”

And like magic, it worked. I didn't know how, but they absolutely obeyed my order as the commotion died in a second. Even though I said it in a voice lower than before. Shit, I thought, so actually they did hear me. Bunch of assholes.

After they stopped moving and shifting, I coughed once. “Well, everyone, thank you for your presence at this dinner. I am here in Ninth's place because he had an urgent matter to attend.” I paused, inspecting each and every eyes. Like what Ninth had taught me. I looked into their soul, demanding trust and loyalty. And then, in the most gracious tone I had, I introduced myself.

“My name is Kalshmia Layn, and I am the Tenth Head of Toretto Famiglia.” I smiled, knowing that it had a touch of authority. “Nice to meet you all.”

A/N:

As again, this was written out of fury and annoyance. Though what happened didn't acually match the storyline, but well, I just needed some emotion release. By the way, if you notice this is tagged under orific and fanfiction, because I'm not so sure. Although this is by no means intended to be a fanfiction, but in the end it has a KHR-aura, with all those mafia and tenth head things. I've been obsessed with KHR lately lol.
