Dreams Aren't Just Dreams

I'm wondering if I could be like what I always dream to be. Sometimes I think I'd better to live in a dream, I can picture myself as anyone I want to be, picture myself in anywhere I want to be. But I hate when the dreams come to the end and I should wake up to face the real life.

If only I had got wings, I would ask you to fly with me.
If only I were the president, I would feed you well.
If only I were a life teacher, I wouldn't give you a hard exam without guiding you.

Many ideas seem so impossible, but 'nothing is impossible' is true, I just can make those ideas come true (at least in my dreams). What's the point of having an obsession? I guess the answers are only two; to feel happiness of achieving the desire or just to show off. If the first is the answer, then we just need a nice bed to sleep and have a nice dream, because we can feel it in our dreams. Problems SOLVED!

Sebagai seorang mahasiswi, saya memang bukan seperti mahasiswi pada umumnya (terutama mahasiswi yang memilih fakultas ilmu yang sebenarnya: Biologi, Kimia, Fisika, dan kawan-kawannya), karena keseharian saya bukan belajar, tapi lebih dengan memperhatikan tingkah laku orang sekitar, mencoba mengerti apa yang dirasakan seseorang jika diperlakukan seperti A, B, C, dan seterusnya. Oh iya, saya adalah mahasiswi Fakultas Ilmu Komunikasi yang berkosentrasi pada PR (Public Relation). Maka dari itu, saya lebih memperhatikan bagaimana komunikasi yang berlangsung disekitar saya, daripada membaca buku dan menghafal teori Bapak dan Ibu A-Z.

Suatu hari saat saya sedang dalam perjalanan pulang bersama keluarga saya dari salah satu pusat perbelanjaan di Jakarta, kami terjebak kemacetan kota Jakarta yang telah menjadi rahasia umum (rahasia tapi kok umum?!). Beberapa menit kami berbincang dalam perjalanan tersebut, kami bercerita satu sama lain, dan lama kelamaan kami pun merasa lelah dimakan waktu. Beberapa kali saya memperhatikan jalanan, dan satu ketika saya baru sadar bahwa selama ini mobil-mobil besar dan mahal seperti Alphard, Serena, Fortuner, mereka semua diduduki oleh SATU orang sopir yang akan menjemput tuannya yang juga hanya berjumlah SATU orang, sedangkan motor-motor bebek dijalanan berlalu lalang dengan membawa 2, 3, bahkan terkadang 4 orang diatasnya. Miris sekali saat saya menyadari fenomena ini.

Mobil-mobil besar nan mahal itu hanya dapat dimiliki oleh orang-orang yang memiliki penghasilan berlebih, sayangnya mereka menyia-nyiakan space mobil mereka yang besar hanya untuk dirinya sendiri. Mobil-mobil yang mahal ini kebanyakan berlalu lalang dengan 2 penumpang (yang sebenarnya mampu menampung hingga 10 orang), bagaimana Jakarta tidak macet kalau fenomena yang terjadi seperti ini? Sedangkan kendaraan roda dua yang sudah ditumpangi oleh lebih dari dua orang saja terus bertambah.

Saya melihat sebuah kejanggalan, sebuah keterbalikan antara pemilik kendaraan bermotor roda empat dan roda dua ini. Bagaimana mengatasi masalah ini? Hanya setiap pribadi dari kita saja yang bisa menjawab. Saat kita sadar, peduli, dan bertindak, maka jawabannya akan positif untuk masa depan hidup seluruh mahkluk hidup.

WATER (Wash Territory)

This picture was taken when I was doing my mid term test for photography subject in Kebun Raya Bogor, Bogor, Indonesia.

Anyway, the reason why I gave "WATER (Wash Territory)" as the title above is because I think water is used for washing. But not only wash clothes, plates, or other, but also 'wash' our body with pure and clean water, even it can 'wash' our mind. Because as I know, mineral water contains of oxygen which can help us to think and work with our brain and body. So yeah, then a word 'WATER' becomes Wash Territory for me :)

And in life, water is one of the most important part. Life without water, can you imagine that? It's just like head without neck, which means you can do nothing without it, it relates the head and our body. Especially in Indonesia, nowadays water isn't treated so well. As we can see that the water is getting turbid, it smells worse, and hard to find pure and clean water. Even everyday I shower, wash clothes, and everything with that kind of water. What a pity!
It's all caused of river, lake, and brook that are filled with trash and waste. Even when people go somewhere by ship, they often throw the trash down into the sea. I believe that basically everyone knows it can make the water gets worse, but they just don't care. Looking around outside, throwing trash becomes one thing that is an ordinary thing to do, and the others who keep the trash until they see the bin are becoming strangers. We can't keep that situation keeps on going like that!

Water really helps everyone to get healthier. The more mineral water we consume, the healthier we'll be. But what if we drink water that smells not good, that is turbid, dark? Can we get healthier? NO! So guys, please keep everything around you well, love the environment just like we love our family, so we can earn clear water, pure mineral water, and of course we'll get a heathy body and great mind to be lived with.

You guys want to live happily, right?
Happiness comes from healthy body.
So keep your body healthy with clean and pure mineral water!

Chasing Dreams

I believe that everyone has their own dreams. Some smells impossible, and some are really make sense to come true. And I also know that everyone has dreams that they wish to make it true. Dreams aren't just ordinary things, but dreams make us alive. Dreams push us to work, dreams push us to study, and of course it pushes us to be on the top! Dreams come not only when we sleep, but also when we open our eyes and look around and 'Shoot, I want to be like her! I want this, I want that in my new house! I wish Brad Pitt could be my husband in the future!'. And all of it, we call it DREAMS!

Gratefully, I have many dreams, I have many obsessions, wishes, and everything to work for to make it true! Once when I was a kid, I never thought about what I would be someday in the future. And every time people asked me: 'What do you want to be in the future?', just like every other kids (that time), then I said: 'Hmm...I want to be a doctor (even I can't stand to see corpse)'. I kept saying that until I found that actually I want to be a catwalk model!haha.. I worked so hard for it! I joined some competitions, and I was accepted, but not until the final, because of my height! :(
Then I realize, it's not my destiny to be a catwalk model. But that the only job that I really want to have! But that's okay, at least I still have many dreams to work for.

I want to be one of the God's soldiers, praise Him, make Him proud to see that a human that He created before becomes somebody now without forgetting Him as her Father. I have a dream to build an orphanage or a social institution to help others. I also want to have a business that can make money but at the same time it helps creating a green earth! I want to be able to play piano, drums, and violin! Going abroad for education is the one that I'm working for! I want to make nothing into something (talking about trash)! As an ordinary girl, having a husband, kids, and a really great family are also some of my dreams. ;)

Some of my dreams above are still possible. Only walking on the catwalk that I don't think I can get it. Even sometimes I want to say, 'I think I'm too late to chase those', but I never really say it. Because something deep inside is stronger, it says, 'Better late than never. Work in faith with Him never ever let you down'. Then I go and chase them! I let Him to come to my life and lead me to walk on His way, so I can get the dreams that I want and He planned before. I'm on my way to catch the light and be on the top!

Wish you guys can get your dreams also! Work hard play hard will be the best quote for it!

P.S. I also have many silly dreams! (e.g. Walking on the red carpet for some awards in America and sit on the front row seat). And by the way, I never think it's impossible, so I'm working for the bucks to fly, walk on the red carpet, take a picture together with my favorites, and watch them in the front row! YAY!
