Would you settle for an "ok"?

okay, let's say...
you've been searching for a specific rock.
you're looking for the one that's perfect in your eyes,
the one that has a perfect shape, size, color..



you patiently searching, looking for this rock.
you look at other rock-searcher.
some of them seem already found their rock.
some of them still trying like you do.
keep searching, and searching..



sometimes you get tired,
sometimes you want to gave up,
yet you managed to move on.



at some point,
when you've been searching for long,
you find a rock,
that's not as perfect as you've pictured,
not exactly you're looking for,
but it's kinda close..





it's not the perfect one.
it's the "ok" one..




then,
would you settle for that one?




or would you throw that away,
and search for the perfect one,
the one you've been looking for,
but haven't found it yet.


will you ever, at some point,
gave up your wish to get the perfect rock,
thinking that'll never be a perfect one for you.

if so, when will you gave up?


if not, well..
how much longer will you managed to stay searching?


what if there is no such thing as a perfect rock?
what if everybody turns out to be settling for the "ok" one?

.
.
.

my mind now tell me not to settle for the "ok" one,
that maybe it's somebody else's perfect rock.

but what if someone already took MY perfect rock?
is it possible?
what if someone's settling with my perfect rock?
then what do i do?


hah.
this rock-searching is confusing.

*sapa suruh nyariin batu, hehe :P

Ngayal

"Since when you've became so mature & calm?

- Since i met you..

- And you? Since when you've became childly and fun?

Since i met you.."



...then we both smile...

*hush, ngayal aja.. :p

..boleh salah, tapi ga boleh bohong..

Gw sangat terkesan sama ucapan dosen MSI,
Bapak dr. Iik Wilarso pada kuliah Jumat, 27 Feb lalu..

"Seorang scientist itu boleh salah, tapi ga boleh bohong.."

whew..
I couldn't agree more Sir!

Beliau saat itu sedang membahas masalah penyantuman referensi dalam karya2 ilmiah.

Beliau kurang lebih menyatakan,
sebetulnya tidak apa2 kalau meng"copy-paste",
(sedang membicarakan tugas2 yang sering kopas)
tapi ya tolong dicantumkan referensi nya..

karena kalau tidak, itu seperti bilang "ini ide gue",
padahal bukan..

Beliau juga bilang (kurang lebih) begini,
semua karya ilmiah itu pasti ada referensinya,
karena pasti mereka cari2, belajar dulu dari penelitian sebelumnya,
masa mau mulai dari nol lagi?
trus mengabaikan progress yang sudah dibuat peneliti sebelumnya, gitu?


wah. keren2.
totally make sense.



anyway..
lalu setelah mengatakan statement
"Seorang scientist itu boleh salah, tapi ga boleh bohong.." itu,
beliau bilang..

"...lain kalau politisi...."


.
.
.
ha.
.

and i suddenly lost my interest.. :)

Innovate!

Pas pertama gw liat produk ini, gw tertarik sama warnanya:
white with blue stripes, that's totally my style :D





terus gw pikir, wah, lucu juga nih,,
biasanya kan cutton bud warna tangkainya 1 warna aja,
putih aja, kuning, atau pink..
so this one's out of the box, i thought...

but this "Char Mi" people (thats the label of the bud) must've had a great corporate policy for innovation,
cause the color is not the only factor that made this product out of the box..

Notice the points of the buds?





yup! they're spiral!
ha!!

In case you didn't notice the points,
they've put a sign on the wrapper



It said "Teknologi Spiral (R)"
(mm.. the "registered" symbol actually appear after the "Teknologi" word, so i don't quite sure what's "registered" ) :D

They also put this sentence :
"Paper Stick Spiral pertama dan satu-satunya di Indonesia"


and i thought..
wow..

the competition must be tough on the cutton bud market :D
this people must used 2 out of the box idea into one product..


but there's one thing hanging on my mind....
.
.
.
dapet ide darimana ya bikin ujungnya spiral?

apa karena kalau orang pake cutton bud suka di puter2 gitu yah,
jadi dibikin spiral aja sekalian.. :D

Emang jadi nyaman ya kalau spiral?
gw sendiri blm nyoba sih...
we'll see..

tapi yang jelas,
this is one out of the box product...

Congrats Char Mi Cutton Bud!

:D :D :D

Melihat2 post lama..

hei,
gw sedang melihat2 postingan2 lama gw di blog ini..

dan reaksi gw:
wah menarik juga ya blog gw.. *hehehe.. narsis2..

misalnya di posting ini , gw posting cerita sehari2 gw..

posting yang ini, salah satu dari teori2 gw, pelajaran yang gw dapet selama gw hidup :D

disini, gw posting pendapat gw ttg sebuah film..

dan masih banyak lagi cerita2 gw di blog ini.


gw bikin blog dari sma,
kalo dari archive sih bulan feb 2004,
sekarang bulan feb 2009,

wah, udah 5 tahun gw nulis di blog ini..

kalau dilihat dari kecenderungannya sih,
akhir2 ini makin jarang diisi,
kalaupun diisi pun pendek2..
ada apa gerangan?

well,
mungkin karena tingkat prioritas mengisi blog sudah terdorong ke bawah oleh kegiatan2 lainnya..
mungkin mengisi blog sudah tidak seseru dulu..
mungkin mengisi blog sudah tidak sepenting dulu.. :)
mungkin keberaadaan blog sudah tergantikan media lainnya?

yah, mungkin..

but i find myself keep typing this post,
i likely to found me craving to write in blog,
usually about something i cannot tell anyone,
or something i think anyone wouldn't understand
or when i feel like writing :D

i still feel this blog to be one of my sanctuary..
it helps me get through some tough time,
it helps me on expressing my thought,
it helps me on my writing ability
it gives me a place to hide, when i don't want nobody to interfere.


dan sekarang gw menemukan manfaat baru dari blog ini..

sebagai tempat bernostalgia..
wahahaha..

ngebaca lagi cerita2 yang gw post dahulu kala,
bikin gw keinget lagi, hidup gw dulu tuh kayak gimana,
gimana gw berkembang, gimana gw menanggapi berbagai masalah..
hehe..
kadang2 lucu,
kadang2 sedih,
kadang2 gw takjub sendiri.. :D


oh well..
semoga blog ini masih bisa terus memberikan manfaatnya,
masih bisa terus nemenin gw menjalani hidup
dan smeoga gw juga ga lupa sama blog ini,
blog yang telah memberikan manfaatnya,
blog yang telah nemenin gw menjalani hidup :)
