Convention of those wounded in love

General provisions:

A – Whereas the saying “all is fair in love and war” is absolutely correct;

B – Whereas for war we have the Geneva Convention, approved on 22 August 1864, which provides for those wounded in the battle field, but until now no convention has been signed concerning those wounded in love, who are far greater in number;

It is hereby decreed that:

Article 1 – All lovers, of any sex, are alerted that love, besides being a blessing, is also something extremely dangerous, unpredictable and capable of causing serious damage. Consequently, anyone planning to love should be aware that they are exposing their body and soul to various types of wounds, and that they shall not be able to blame their partner at any moment, since the risk is the same for both.

Article 2 – Once struck by a stray arrow fired from Cupid’s bow, they should immediately ask the archer to shoot the same arrow in the opposite direction, so as not to be afflicted by the wound known as “unrequited love”. Should Cupid refuse to perform such a gesture, the Convention now being promulgated demands that the wounded partner remove the arrow from his/her heart and throw it in the garbage. In order to guarantee this, those concerned should avoid telephone calls, messages over the Internet, sending flowers that are always returned, or each and every means of seduction, since these may yield results in the short run but always end up wrong after a while. The Convention decrees that the wounded person should immediately seek the company of other people and try to control the obsessive thought: “this person is worth fighting for”.

Article 3 – If the wound is caused by third parties, in other words if the loved one has become interested in someone not in the script previously drafted, vengeance is expressly forbidden. In this case, it is allowed to use tears until the eyes dry up, to punch walls or pillows, to insult the ex-partner in conversations with friends, to allege his/her complete lack of taste, but without offending their honor. The Convention determines that the rule contained in Article 2 be applied: seek the company of other persons, preferably in places different from those frequented by the other party.

Article 4 – In the case of light wounds, herein classified as small treacheries, fulminating passions that are short-lived, passing sexual disinterest, the medicine called Pardon should be applied generously and quickly. Once this medicine has been applied, one should never reconsider one's decision, not even once, and the theme must be completely forgotten and never used as an argument in a fight or in a moment of hatred.

Article 5 – In all definitive wounds, also known as “breaking up”, the only medicine capable of having an effect is called Time. It is no use seeking consolation from fortune-tellers (who always say that the lost lover will return), romantic books (which always have a happy ending), soap-operas on the television or other such things. One should suffer intensely, completely avoiding drugs, tranquilizers and praying to saints. Alcohol is only tolerated if kept to a maximum of two glasses of wine a day.

Final determination: Those wounded in love, unlike those wounded in armed conflict, are neither victims nor torturers. They chose something that is part of life, and so they have to accept both the agony and the ecstasy of their choice.

And those who have never been wounded in love will never be able to say: “I have lived”. Because they haven’t.

Selamat Advent

Selamat Advent saudara-saudara sekalian :-)
Mari kita sambut Natal tahun ini dengan penuh sukacita dan ucapan syukur dan meningkatkan keperdulian kita pada sesama.
Khotbah di gereja kemarin minggu mengingatkanku untuk selalu berjaga-jaga dan bersiap-siap untuk menyongsong kedatanganNya (1 Tesalonika 5:1-11).

Kabar gembira di Advent pertama ini adalah Mike Idol terpilih menjadi duta Indonesia ke Asian Idol. Meskipun aku nggak sms/telp untuk mendukung dia, tapi emang aku menjagokan dia.
Ke-3 pesaingnya yang lain (Delon, Iksan dan Rini) kurang pantes aja rasanya jadi wakil indo, secara mereka kurang berkaliber Internasional rasanya suaranya. Menurutku mereka ber-3 bisa nyanyi tapi ya sekedar nyanyi aja kayak gue gitu deh huheheh...tapi yang punya suara yang keren itu ya hanya Mike. Semoga, Mike bisa menang, entar pasti kudukung deh kalau penampilan dia ok banget.
Rugi pulsa ga pa2 deh tapi janji nyanyinya keren loh :P

Sweet November

Tak terasa hari ini akan menjadi hari terakhir November 2007,
tiba-tiba saja jadi pengen sentimentil hehehe...
Meskipun pahit, manis terjadi di bulan ini, namun satu yang pasti, November tetaplah sweet seperti judul film yang dibintangi si Keanu yang cakep itu.

Besok 1 Desember,
Akhirnya...kami akan menghias ruangan kerja agar sedikit bernuansa Natal, itupun karena dapat limpahan ornamen dari lantai 3 yang sejak minggu ke-3 bulan november sudah beraroma natal hehehe...
Di ruangan kami tidak terlalu bergairah untuk memberi dekorasi Natal, tapi mungkin yang paling cepat mencuri start untuk Natal justru ruangan kami, karena pada awal November saja lagu-lagu Natal sudah berkumandang dari laptopku hehehe...khususnya lagu Natal dari Celine Dion dan Billy Gilman :-)

11 bulan sudah berlalu, tinggal satu bulan lagi, kita masuk tahun 2008.
Apa yang terjadi 2008?
Apakah Indonesia akan jadi lebih baik?
Apakah UC akan mendapatkan banyak mahasiswa yang OK?
Apakah aku akan jatuh cinta?
Apakah semua akan baik-baik saja?
Jawabnya seperti judul lagu Enya yang jadi sound tracknya Sweet November "Only Time"
