What Romance and Alcohol have in common.

Somehow and sometimes, Romance and Alcohol share the same characteristic; you should enjoy responsibly.

They said

I heard several economics students said that the business students are less smart than they are. In fact, we just simply have a clearer insight toward wealth creation.

What Scotty said.

I was just recently watching the third season of Brothers & Sisters. On an episode, at the end, Scotty Wandell said something to Kevin Walker. And the phrase that he said, does really strikes and knocks me down. I just feel that the phrase is totally address me for who i am lately. It wakes me up, somehow.

The phrase was :

"Kevin, i don't love you because of how much money you make, or because you can take care of me. I love you because your heart is bigger than your very annoying brain." --Scotty Wandell.

Me

"Don't compare me with anybody. I'm a man of myself."

--Arif Nindito.

"Biar ku kejar dirimu di dalam Mercedes ayah mu, dengan sepeda Sparta ku.."

Warm tea during a pouring rain Sunday afternoon.

Now, i finally understand why Europeans are big fans of tea and coffee. It is Sunday afternoon, at the beginning of December. Rain is pouring down outside, with the temperature of 10 degrees celcius. It is not a really good weather for Sunday. Yes, it is not. But i think i can't expect a better day during early winter in this lowlands of central europe.

Dark clouds and grey sky. Cups of warm early grey english tea, accompanied with a piece of chocolate croissant, with melodies of Saint Germain des Pres Cafe sounded smoothly from my iTunes. A combination that will perfectly warm your body as well as your soul. What a mellow Sunday afternoon.

Relieve

I've been suffering for cold since like two days ago. For the last two days, i practically done nothing except eat and sleep. Cough, sore throat, runny nose, nasal congestion and sneezing. I have it all. I've been attending no class since Monday.

Last night, after dinner, i logged on into my facebook to just seeing around. by coincidence, i saw one of my ex-girlfriend was still online. i chatted with her, asking why she still up at like around 3.30 a.m (her local time). we chatted about several things, especially about the future life. i told her that lately, i've been interested in a girl that seems just too sophisticated for me. This young lady is coming from a very decent family background, nice person, well-behaved and i assume that she's a good muslimah, as well. Me as a person who always been optimistic, prudent and visionary, sometimes and somehow feel like being nobody by this circumstances. Somehow during these times, i feel like being delusional about this young lady.

Then she said to me, "Nobody knows how the future will be.. Good luck then with that young lady". I told her that's the different between men and women by citing my favorite quote from a German writer, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. He said :

"Girls we love for what they are; Young men for what they promise to be."

It took like two seconds before she replied with, "you are a promising young man kok.. hehehe.. lol". i replied with even bigger laughter. but to be honest, the second i read it, it was totally relieving. i even felt like being injected with a tremendous spirit booster. it was awaking. it was just feels so good to read that phrase. somehow, it was calming, as well.

And she was right. Nobody knows how's the future gonna be like. Whom you gonna end up for the rest of your life with. That's what i believed as The Almighty's destiny. Just live it up with your best efforts. I gonna always remember that phrase. The phrase that not only relive my cold, but also relieve me from my scattered few weeks. Thank you. Your words relieve me.

It was calming me last night to go to bed. And it boosting my mood and new spirit by the time i woke up this morning. It was magical. I don't know why and how. Just a magical single phrase by another young lady. I said to my self, let me fight and finish this cold and get back to my classes and school works. Let me get myself back. Myself who always been optimistic, prudent and visionary. The Arif Nindito with the restless fighting spirit, the real me. Let me first conquer my world, and after that, i'm going home. Let me go home.
