Deep and meaningless

Saya punya teori bahwa setidaknya satu kali dalam masa kehidupannya, setiap orang pasti pernah jatuh cinta nggak kira-kira. Ciri-cirinya mudah saja: gelap mata. Banyak hal di dunia, tetapi cuma dia yang menarik dan penting buat kita.

Margaret: I will never be one of those women who stay silent on the arm of her husband. One's life must matter, Denis. 

Denis: That's why I want to marry you, my dear.

Kalau enggak bikin catatan akhir tahun, rasanya enggak oke. Sekali-kali ngikutin apa yang lagi hip, ah.

A 12-Day Plan of Simple Writing Exercise

reblogged from Brian Klems


Day 1:

Write 10 potential book titles of books you’d like to write.

Day 2:
Create a character with personality traits of someone you love, but the physical characteristics of someone you don’t care for.

Day 3:
Write a setting based on the most beautiful place you’ve ever seen.

Day 4:
Write a letter to an agent telling her how wonderful you are.

Day 5:
Write a 20-line poem about a memorable moment in your life.

Day 6:
Select a book on your shelf and pick two chapters at random. Take the first line of one chapter and the last line of the other chapter and write a short story (no more than 1000 words) using those as bookends to your story.

Day 7:
Write a letter to yourself telling you what you need to improve in the coming 6 months.

Day 8:
Rewrite a fairy tale from the bad guy’s point of view.

Day 9:
Turn on your TV. Write down the first line that you hear and write a story based on it.

Day 10:
Go sit in a public place and eavesdrop on a conversation. Turn what you hear into a short love story (no matter how much you have to twist what they say).

Day 11:
Write the acknowledgments page that will be placed in your first (next?) published book, thanking all the people who have helped you along the way.

Day 12:
Gather everything you’ve written over the previous 11 days. Pick your favorite. Edit it, polish it and either try to get it published or post it on the Web to share with the world. Be proud of yourself and your work.

Gimana? Shall we do it? ;)

Audrey Hepburn rocks!

Melihat sampul DVD seperti ini langsung terbayang tipikal film-film Woody Allen. Tapi...

Beyond God

"Kita mencapai banyak pengertian. Kita juga melihat bahwa ada pengertian-pengertian tentang Tuhan, yang, meskipun tercapai dengan nalar, namun kiranya sulit diikuti oleh orang yang sudah tidak percaya kepada Tuhan. Itu berarti bahwa bernalar tentang Tuhan justru bagi manusia yang percaya dapat memperkaya pengertian, dan dengan demikian, imannya. Salahlah kalau iman dan pengertian dilawankan. Fides quaerens intellectum, iman mencari pengertian.. [..] Hanya kalau Allah menjadi pertanyaan, Allah juga dapat menjadi jawaban." (Franz Magnis-Suseno, Menalar Tuhan, hlm. 234-235)
