Exchanging Blessings With The Gentle Giants
I went to Oslob, Cebu, Philippines — for whale shark watching last week. Butanding is the local language for whale shark (Rhincodon Typus). I wanted to exchange blessings with them.
With Michelle and Jerry – a tour guide and a driver – I left Mactan at 5am.
Deciding not to plunge in to the water, I didn’t bring any swimsuit. Ok, a boat was rented….
The boatman is part of the conservation team…. See the T-shirt worn.
Many people already swam around something…. A group of butanding enjoying their breakfast
The gentle giant was peeping below my boat. Please let me offer you my love, dear butanding….
Look at the spots on the body….
…. on the tail
He is deeply, seriously giving his blessings…. Or her blessings….
Blessings to the feeder on the boat….
To the onlookers on and beneath the water…..
And, to me….
Before I finally left the site, I put both my feet into the water and prayed in my heart, telling huge blessings then leaving them into the sea. Thank you, butanding…. For the blessings we exchange.

Maya, Anjing Yang Hepi
Lagi di Mactan Island, Cebu, Philippines.
Seperti biasa ada asyiknya dan nggak asyiknya tiap travel. Enaknya ya jelas deh ketemu binatang-binatang yang tak kalah ramahnya dengan para manusia yang kutemui di Philippines. Filipino punya bakat ramah-tamah yang nggak kalah sama orang Indonesia, jadi nyaman-nyaman saja travel ke kepulauan ini. Kutegaskan kembali Filipino di Philippines itu ramah , anjing-anjingnya hepi walau nggak semua bersih, banyak stray dogs berkeliaran dan tidak ada tukang makan anjing seperti di daerah-daerah di Indonesia. Semoga para pemakan dan pemburu anjing diberi kesadaran oleh Semesta, berhenti memburu anjing dan kembali ke jalan yang manusiawi.
Tuan rumah dengan keramahan sempurna tentunya bikin kerjaan lancar. Dan ketemu dengan Maya, anjing yang ditugaskan di gate area hotel, bikin perjalanan di Cebu lebih enteng di batin…. Ini anjing gede dan nature-nya gembira – aku panel “Maya….” langsung lompat mau ngerangkul…. Waduh rek, bukannya takut najis…. Takut digigit doang.
lompat mau hugging
I love you, Maya but please don’t hug me. I’m afraid…. Then she behave 🙂
Maya ini matanya katarak dua-duanya – curiga gw sih penyebabnya makanan karena Lorent di Makati juga matanya sakit karena makanan. So, tolong ya para pemelihara anjing beliin makanan yang nggak ada efek samping buruk untuk anjingnya. Teliti sebelum membeli.
Ada satu lagi anjing jantan namanya Bruce. Warnanya krem kayaknya sih herder juga. Cuma ketemu waktu tiba di hotel Minggu siang jadi nggak sempat moto….
Jadi mereka ini berjaga di gate bergantian tiap 6 jam. Tugasnya mengendus trunk mobil yang masuk ke lingkungan hotel.
Aku tahu alangkah membosankannya pekerjaan itu makanya Maya melonjak gembira saat ada yang menyapa.
Semoga Maya, Bruce dan 5 anjing patrol lainnya sehat, kenyang dan hepi selalu… Lebih dari itu semoga banyak yang melimpahkan rasa sayangnya pada mereka. Amin….
Ayo sayangi anjing dan binatang lainnya…..

About Morning Sun – Bromo
I took these pictures in Mount Bromo, East Java, Indonesia – my beloved country – in August 2010. What a lovely morning it was. Hundreds of people were waiting for the the sun to rise. They came from all corners of the earth: different colours of skin and hair (and teeth I guess). But it didn’t matter; they all shared the same expectations and expressions. When the sun showed its face timidly yet gracefully, those folks burst into happy laughter. Then they cheered, they clapped hands, they prayed, they cried, they smiled, they got amazed, they praised, they all emitted positive energy. Radiance is reflected through the eyes – either naked or behind glasses.
The next mornings in other places, we saw another sun rise but none of us laughed or cheered or clapped hands or prayed or cried or smiled or got amazed or praised…. Is it because we were not in Mount Bromo anymore? Probably. But most probably, we don’t always see the sun from the right angle. We see sun as just an object, a routine, just something but never a something….
People don’t really wait for the sun every morning for enjoyment. They wait for times to pass, just to kill it…. Second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year…. until the end is approaching and slowing down the time is possible no more.
Do I wait for time to pass? Or, to enjoy every hi from the morning sun? Hard to confess — because now I close my eyes when the sun is greeting.

Listen
Sometimes you are tired of listening to friends who keep saying they are tired of walking down their life path.
Sometimes you are bored of listening to people who keep thinking they are the unluckiest ones on earth.
Sometimes you are just wondering what those people are talking about and you just say “uh-uh” at the end of every sentence they say.
Sometimes you are just smiling at the end of the table to confirm that they just want to be heard and not really care whether you are really listening or not.
That’s fine….
Life is about enjoying.
So, let’s enjoy the listening part.
Open the ears wide, and more than that HEART wide to suffice what those people are craving: to be listened, to be care.
Because they feel abandoned in their own life, in their own self…. Without realizing that they are feeling that way.
But, willingness doesn’t come easy. It sometimes gets dragged aside by weak body and heavy days…. So, forgive yourself for not listening to every whining and complaining….
Oh…. What a beautiful life! What a beautiful journey! I think I know why I am here.
If only I can tell them to listen to their own selves.

I Do What I Believe Is Right
When I was a teacher years ago, I didn’t stop telling my students that all deeds are based on our intention and our intention is based on our belief. “Never stop asking yourself whether or not what you believe is right,” said I at that time. And, I’ve got tested every now and then — I guess the Universe wants to show us that I walk the talk.
And, yes. I walk the talk. I do believe what I believe is right, with reserve. Challenging our own belief is kinda routine task scheduled in life. With that, I don’t bother anymore what people are saying about what I’m doing or even what or who I am. This is a good life to travel and this path is already set, planned in the space somewhere by the Core of the Universe…. Why bother by fellow traveler?
I’m not a teacher anymore and recently I’ve been tested by a fact that some people are just sucking energy like vampire sucks the blood. Don’t worry, they are not that powerful. They suck, but weakly — not as strong as they think they are. They think they suck your “blood”, your “real life spirit” to dry but actually they only suck the “sweat”, the daily emotion that act as rubbish of our day. So, the best treatment for those suckers is only one: just smile and play seriously….
Play seriously? Yups, don’t entertain them. Just treat them as friends who have nobody to share and cry for bucket to puke all their stress of life. Not seldom they would try to make you jealous (to them or to others) or angry by sending you stories or news…. But, that is the worst scenario. They just need your attention so give it to them. And, I believe it is right — paying attention is right! 🙂
It is weekend and ‘ve got laundry to clean up so nothing much I can do to entertain those kinds of things. Ignore.
Again, I do what I believe is right and ‘m gonna keep doing it till I think I don’t believe what I am doing is right. Nothing to explain to the outer world.

Beautiful Greek & Handsome Greg
It is not Greek from the Europe.
She is our beautiful Greek and our handsome Greg – two cats our ours raised by my family.
The most beautiful girl and handsomest guy in our humble abode….
One female and one male felines that share their happiness and joy with us in life.
Greek, thanks for your cheerful hello when we get up, for your quick snatch when we throw the rope, for innocent look when we don’t give you enough, for your touch with the fur when you want even more rubs, for everything making us smile and (pretend to be) upset….
Mew…. Your soft voice, Greek….
Saw her and her caretaker last holiday
Meow! Wow, stronger voice: that is Greg, the one replacing Bob
enjoying day after lunch
Greg, now one-eyed has been a tough guy in our family – his right eye was attacked by virus and late treated. He’s been with us since Bob was still here.
Greg behaves calmer than Greek. He won’t hop or jump or run in front of me. He is just sitting, licking his whole body over, mewing strongly and more loudly. And, he eats more easily even finishes Greek’s leftover. They have different plates for sure but the same bowl of water.
Greg doesn’t sleep at home. He is a tom and strays around at night for female feline; he stays home when it rains very heavily — dining chair is his favourite. Greek is staying home almost 60% of her day — sometimes at the porch, beds, chairs, corner of mom’s study.
Both are loved as loved as the human around…. And be thanked as thanked as the whole Universe….
Thanks for the humans around who take care of them 🙂

Lezat!
Lezat itu bukan tentang rasa makanan. Lezat lebih berhubungan dengan kekuatan lidah mencecap rasa. Menurutku sayur rebung (dengan santan dan bumbu lodeh) lezat luar biasa walaupun gaya memasaknya mungkin tidak berkenan di hati saya.
Mie…. Segala macam mie tidak langsung saya anggap lezat kecuali ketika aku amat sangat kangen indomie (sebut merk, ha ha ha….) atau seperti sekarang ini: pengen mie tek tek…..
Alhasil, saya ke Indobox lagi di ION Orchard biar bisa makan “mee tek tek”. Ini hidangan berlabel “Chef’s Recommendation” tapi saya kasih grade “Im-palate Recommendation” alias horaaaa huenaaaak….
Again, bukan soal rasa melainkan indera perasa…..

Explain, please? No, Thanks!
People need others to understand what is going on, it is normally in interview or interrogation room. You’ll explain what’s your expertise, or why you are here, or what you expect people to know about what you’re doing. And, you’ll explain when explaining it will get the work done. Aside from that, no explanation is mandatory.
If you think what you are doing now need others’ understanding, it is not totally correct. Sometimes it is only feeling detecting one’s being guilty of having people misunderstood or totally lost about what is happening to us. No worries. The show must go on — as you wish. It’s your life, it’s your choice to do whatever is required to get your life DONE. As long as you don’t disturb others’ life — others are others, any other creatures.
Don’t let yourself like either the ostrich or the zebra in my below picture. Either or them is enjoying their life. The ostrich might think the zebra is annoying — I don’t think so because before this scene the zebra was with the rest of its group enjoying the green fresh grass until the ostrich got crazy breaking the zebra lot. The other zebras just went aside to another corner of the grass, while this one zebra was going around and around entertaining the ostrich…. Are they enjoying? The ostrich was, the zebra was freaking out!!!
So, the best thing is enjoying and starting to stop feeling guilty. People should be busy with themselves instead of bothering others.
Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy.

I thought animals are only subordinates living being….

S
Ketika Semua Bersahabat
Ketika saya kecil persahabatan begitu biasa terjalin, seperti bukan sesuatu yang suit dijalankan. Semua orang adalah sahabat, teman seperjalanan. Tak banyak musuh, bahkan kepelikan perasaaan terhadap orang yang perbuatannya dianggap menyakiti hati hanya berlangsung sesaat, kemudian berteman kembali.
Tidak hanya itu, dengan binatang pun persahabatan juga biasa. Anjing, kucing, ayam, menthok, marmut, kelinci, monyet, wedhus, sapi, kebo, jaran, iwak, macan rembah, luwak, gajah, macan belang, kidang, celeng, dan lain-lain semua berkeliaran di habitatnya tanpa manusia tergoda untuk menggangu kedamaian mereka hidup seadanya dari belas-kasih khalifah di bumi, manusia. Hanya kadang saja ketika alam ini telah mengijinkan maka beberapa dari para binatang yang sudah “cukup umur” itu diminta untuk menyumbangkan usia keberkahannya — buat acara selamatan yang tak sering terjadi.
Tapi sekarang….. Alangkah beratnya menjalin pertemanan. Sedikit terpeleset saja membuat status di FB, BB atau posting di blog, bisa-bisa di-block dari posting-posting tertentu atau dari lamannya atau bahkan dari melihatnya sama sekali. Itulah dunia maya, harus penuh dengan kehati-hatian dalam mengekspresikan diri. Jika salah sedikit dan pas dilihat oleh hati yang sedang sensi maka akan runyam. Ya sudah lah.
Dalam dunia nyata juga…. Kalau tidak hati-hati berstrategi dalam berkomunikasi bisa-bisa disalahpahami juga. Hidup ini memang penuh lika-liku pelajaran.
Dan, binatang pun mendapat imbasnya. Manusia yang semakin hari semakin egos ternyata juga menjadi tidak hanya tidak percaya pada sesamanya akan tetapi juga pada binatang yang tak berdaya. Binatang sudah jadi alat bagi manusia untuk memperkaya diri, tidak hanya mensejahterakan diri saja. Mereka memakan anjing, ular, bahkan kucing, ayam tiap hari, babi tiap hari…. Wis pokoknya makan protein hewani itu wajib hukumnya supaya energinya cukup. Dan eksploitasi pada binatang juga banyakt erjadi. Banyak — dan saya nggak punya nyali untuk menceritakannya di sini. Animal abuse is just everywhere!
Byuh….. Pergeseran budaya. Dulu makan daging hanya pada saat-saat tertentu saja, sekarang pagi siang sore bisa makan. Dulu gajah paling pol disuruh main acrobat — which is udah agar eksploitasi sebenernya — tapi sekarang gajah dijerat, disandera biar bisa minta ransom duit ke pemerintah; kalau enggak ya dibiarin tanpa makan mati kelaparan atau bahkan diracun. Manusia keparat!
Duit, duit, duit!
Duit penting, kalau nggak ada suit ya nggak bisa fully settled jaman sekarang apalagi di kota besar. Otak manusia udah diokupasi oleh industrialisasi, semua maunya disulap jadi duit.
Industrialisasi ini telah terbukti membuat manusia telah lupa bahwa bumi ini bukan hanya untuk dihabiskan melainkan lebih dari itu untuk disejahterakan, dipelihara kemudian nantinya akan dipersembahkan kepada “yang nitip” dalam keadaan paling tidak sama indahnya seperti dulu.
Kalau saja bisa kupeluk orang-orang malang itu dan binatang-binatang malang itu — yang telah menjadi alat politic dari para manusia yang perutnya nggak selesai-selesai teriak “more, more more” kecuali udah dibantalin dempu (bola dari tanah), akan kulakukan dengan tanganku tidak hanya dengan jiwaku…. Kusebarkan energy cintaku pada kalian, bola pink penuh cinta mengitari semesta!!!
Duh gustiku…. Sayangilah kami….

BBM, Whatsapp, Line, Viber…. Mention more!
It is such a hassle to get some requests to install those applications from different people from different regions with actually the same purpose. Lazy…. But I’ve gotta choose one or two. Or even three or more?
To communicate.
BBM (Blackberry Messenger), Whatsapp, Line, Viber, Tango, Facebook Messenger…. Remember we had Skype, SMS (Short Message Services), iMessage (free messaging between iPhone users), Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, long list…. What a complete channeling. 🙂
We are becoming more and more aware that communication is vital to keep ourselves “alive”. Yes, it is a means of survival. You can never sustain if you don’t do it properly. You can “not eat” or consume any intake for the whole day but you can never live without interaction. Without some of those apps, people – not all, just those who are (sometimes) away from you and using gadgets – would consider you are gone, not exist, die…. Forgotten, neglected, name it.
Communication is about sharing idea and feeling but communicating your idea in silence is what I am thinking of while sharing this to you, dear friends. Imagine there are both Android and IOS in your living being system – any word you call it: brain, mind, heart, spirit, soul, awareness, whatever. Remember our system is much more sophisticated than any operating systems ever made in the history so if none of smartphones can contain both Android and IOS at the same time, human beings’ awareness can! Have you watched Johnny Depp’s Transcendence? More or less our system is depicted there.
So, either is telling the other about something. Each of them is trying to send messages using Blackberry Messenger. If either hasn’t been installed with BBM yet, nothing is delivered. So….
Do I talk to myself? Yes, every now and then
Do I scream to myself? Often I guess.
Do I whisper to myself? Sure….
Do I listen to myself? I doubt.
Often time I listened to outer voices: family, friends, environment…. I listened to you and them but I ignored songs of my heart. How rigorously I denied whispers, reminders, warnings, soft alarms, sobs… all inner songs sung by myself to myself in myself. Just because it isn’t loud enough? Nope! I guess just because I was oblivious – that people know more about this life than I do, people are smarter, people deserve more, and so on that people are better than me are what had occupied my thought.
- Well, either the Android or IOS in my system hadn’t recognized BBM installation. Or even both…. 🙂
Let’s consider BBM as a language agreed to use by interlocutors, to exchange ideas and feelings. “Hey, I am angry…. Please stop catering what they want.” A short message from inside to outside then your body has to quit from entertaining those annoying people.
“Hey…. I am tired, please stop thinking too much.” Then your inner system will shut down, your body sleeps.
Of course human beings know that language – it’s indigenously gifted, heart is talking like forever. Definitely we know how to communicate with our own selves. It’s only about preparing willingness to stop the busyness of either our Android or IOS when they are alone. BBM in our system is where we silent our mind to digest the message between those two apps in here, not out there.
Are you ready? You are the decision maker.
To summarize the need of installing Line, Viber, Tango, Facebook Messenger; please inviters consider my struggle to take care of my own self now…. And, probably you want to do the same thing, too.
…. Can I communicate well with people using any kinds of apps if I don’t even have the keen to communicate with myself? Would you be able to listen to people if you are not patient enough to give your hearing to your own ideas and feelings? How much space will we give to people if we don’t spare a bit for our own?
So, who will send me another request? What messenger this time?
I think we need to create a new one: I’myown Messenger 😛

Laughter To Envy
Then I just laughed when you suggested a fact that I am watched by you….
But does it really matter?
No, it matters only to you…. And, some folks next to you, who have the same feather but can’t fly. So high, in the imaginary sky, without capable to fly.
Does it really matter?
No, it never matters to me…. Only sketched some seconds in a note, that is as brittle as a butterfly’s wings. For a while, in beauty, no sustainability.
Does it really matter?
Not really. Really not, finally. Your voice, your choir, your noise doesn’t matter to this path.
Enjoy the cloud where you think you sit, but actually you skid.
Thanks, friends…. For sharing me the face of envy.
