Everyone’s Life, Everyone’s Story

Uhuuy, I’m excited to write. Hahahaa. I got inspiration from my yesterday’s experience. Well, it’s just a small piece of my life but -I don’t know- it means so much. The thought strucked me when we had dinner (fasting break) in KFC. Ow, there is something else inspires me; Bumi Manusia by Pramoedya Ananta Toer. Wuuiih, it’s a great story! Really a refreshment among the stream of pop literatures in Indonesia. Ok, one by one, please..

KFC thing.
Yesterday there was someone (a big boy) celebrated his birthday in KFC, with Chaki Package + Batman. Actually his friends (and big help of his girlfriend) arranged that. Believe it or not, he is 23! Just one year older than me! Everyone there looked happy. Ahahahaaa, it was sweet and funny. Then I swapped my sight to his friends.. Looked to everyone else in KFC, the employers, then I suddenly thought,

“Yes, everyone has his/her own strory of life.. joy, sadness, pain, happiness. Aah, what a sweet. Allah Almight.”

When I put that in my mind, I do cherish people around me. I don’t judge them, I just appreciate each of them as someone who has her/his own story of life, who try to find out & pursue his/her fate. Hhm.. I love that feeling. Somehow it makes me feel confident. Hehee *does those things relate to each other??*

Bumi Manusia.
I haven’t finished reading it, but I can feel the greatness of its story. I love it. This book is written through the eyes of main character. The setting is the era when Netherland ruled Indonesia. The main character named Minke, inlander, an HBS student in Surabaya *ah, my hometown!*, royal blood is inside him but he refuse wealth. He is kinda a journalist and a writer. He studies and he also writes about people and his thought. He publishes his writings in newspaper. A writer with modern thoughts in mind!His life is dramatic, but his ability and his brain is pretty flawless. This story really inspires me to become a journalist and a writer like minke.

Hahahaa, after those experiences, I think back my dreams. Well few days ago I took a personality quiz suggested by agunk (mypersonality.info), and my result is The Confidant, Counselor, or Empath ~rare personality. Few of its career matches are Doctor, Human Resources, Social worker, Teacher/Professor, and Writer. Weheee.. Good careers. I like to listen to other people’s stories, feelings, and thoughts. I love to write those down, draw conclusions, and take wisdoms from those.

*Hhm, I hope I’m not overestimate myself..*
