Amal mengoceh...

Zibby: We don't always have to be thinking about poli-sci or reading chaucer, which by the way, I hated.
Jesse: You're not supposed to like it.
Zibby: But then, why read it? You love college so much, right? Isn't all about understanding different points of view?
Jesse: It's also about developing taste.
Zibby: That was snobby. You're a snob.
Jesse: No, I'm not.
Zibby: Yes, you are. You think it's cool to hate things. And it's not, it's boring. Talk about what you love, and keep quiet about what you don't.
Jesse: Look, I know how this sounds. But, trust me, this is a big deal, okay? This country is in bad shape, and it has to do, in large part, I think, with people liking things that are very very bad.
Zibby: But, according to you. Why are you the one who gets to decide what's good and bad? And do you only want to surround yourself with people who've read the same books as you?

(a piece of dialogue between Jesse and Zibby in Liberal Arts movie)

***

Berulang kali saya dengarkan cuplikan dialog di atas.
It's make me thinking.
Yeah, saya kagum sekali dengan sosok seperti Jesse, sosok orang kritis.
Orang-orang yang punya pemikiran cemerlang untuk mengubah negeri ini.
Yang saya tidak suka adalah orang-orang kritis yang men-judge dan menganggap remeh pandangan orang lain, kesukaan orang lain.
Orang-orang yang "mengaku anti mainstream" dan membenci hal-hal yang disukai kebanyakan orang. Mereka yang bilang selera orang-orang saat ini "rendahan".
Hey dude, terus kon kate lapo?

There's never a "NO"

Setiap kita berdoa, akan ada tiga kemungkinan jawaban yang kita terima:

1. Yes

2. Yes, but not now

3. I have a better plan for you

See, there's never a "no" ;)

dan hingga kini hatiku masih mencari-cari pelabuhannya :')

Thanks God I found them

I've got the best thing in the world, coz I got you in my heart ♥

In this cruel little world, let's hold hand together, we can share forever.

♫♫♫ Maybe someday the sky will be coloured with our love ♫♫♫

Siapa bilang sulit mencari "teman" di perkuliahan? ;)
XOXO, amal.

Definisi seorang "Amal"

Lucu ya rasanya saat membaca tulisan seseorang yang menceritakan tentang diri kita.
Membuat diri berkata "Oh aku ternyata begitu ya".
Seperti yang ditulis oleh salah satu teman saya ini, sebut saja namanya Istiqomah, di tumblr miliknya.
Membaca tulisannya itu membuat ingin tertawa, sekaligus terharu.

Nah, berikut kutipan tulisannya yang menceritakan tentang saya: (acungkan tangan kalau kamu sependapat dengannya :p)

"Terakhir, bernama lengkap Amalia Nurul Muthmainnah. Biasa dipanggil Amal. Awalnya saya asing dengan panggilan itu dan berpikir “kenapa tidak dipanggil Lia saja?”. Tapi ternyata nama panggilannya seunik orangnya.
