Ini repost dari multiply-ku. hehe.. maap! Aku simpen lagi di sini buat “someone” yang lagi gak pede. hehehe.. Hayo, “madame K”, pedeee! 
3 Juli 2008 kemarin, Mas Illu, suamiku dateng ke Press Conference Soundrenaline Free Your Voice. Niatnya mewakili RASA (tapi akhirnya artisnya RASA sendiri dateng sih). Berhubung suami udah lebih dari satu dekade berkecimpung di dunia musik (spesialisasi belakang layar, hehe..) dia pun banyak ketemu temen-temen musisi yang udah pada sukses. Satu hal yang paling membahagiakan Mas Illu adalah ketemu Makki (Ungu).
Aku udah pernah cerita di blog ini kan, kalau Mas Illu sempet “pegang” Ungu? Yep, Mas Illu adalah salah satu di jajaran manajemen Ungu di awal-awal meroketnya mereka.
Dan, aku juga tau, satu personel Ungu yang paling deket ama suamiku adalah Makki. Wong sampe Mas Illu minta Makki jadi saksi nikahan kita dulu kok (meski gak jadi gara-gara Mas Illu ngomongnya dadakan, sedangkan Ungu mesti ke Bandung pas hari-H kami dulu). Jadi, waktu ketemu Makki kemaren, Mas Illu seneng banget! Secara udah lama juga gak ketemu dan ngobrol panjang.
Singkat cerita, Makki ngundang Mas Illu dateng ke rumahnya. (Sorry folks, aku gak bisa ngasih tau di mana rumah Makki. We have to honor his privacy. Ok?)
Malamnya, kita pun datang. Di tengah jalan, Mas Illu sempet grogi mau ketemu Makki, yang udah jadi superstar. Aku ketawa, “Lha kok grogi? Dia kan manusia, dia temenmu. Jangan lihat dia itu anak Ungu atau apa. Ungu itu cuma profesi. Lagian kan ada andil kamu juga kok makanya Ungu terbang seperti sekarang..”
Omonganku ternyata sama dengan komentar Makki (setelah kita nyampe di rumahnya). Dia ngambek karena Mas Illu sungkan ke dia. “Ngapain sungkan? Kita kan saudara. Kita pernah bareng, pernah makan sepiring bareng, tidur juga pernah satu tempat tidur. Aku nggak suka kalau kamu minder begitu!”
Aku surprise, ternyata Makki tau lebih banyak tentang Mas Illu dibanding aku–bininya sendiri. Hehehe.. Ya iyalah, secara Makki dan Mas Illu udah kenal lama banget!
Honestly, aku seneng ngobrol ama Makki. Dia humble dan banyak banget nasehatin Mas Illu. Di antaranya supaya Mas Illu mau sadar potensi dirinya. “Kamu itu banyak ide. Ide tuh mahal. Di Ungu, idemu dipake semua dan jalan semuanya, sampe bisa seperti sekarang. Ini semua juga ide darimu lho, Lu!” kata Makki.
Dia juga nyemangatin Mas Illu untuk lebih pede. Dia ngelarang Mas Illu minder di depan anak-anak (Ungu). “Semuanya masih sama, Lu. Aku, masih sama, kamu liat sendiri. Pasha 5 tahun lalu sama Pasha sekarang, masih sama. Anak-anak yang lain, semuanya masih sama, gak ada yang berubah. Yang beda cuman sekarang duitnya lebih banyak. Itu aja. Kalau sifat, semuanya masih sama.”
Makki cerita, berkat Mas Illu juga, Pasha yang tadinya minder di panggung (gara-gara menghadapi 5.000 penonton) bisa jadi pede seperti sekarang. “Kalau Mbak mau tau, Pasha waktu ngadepin penonton ribuan, dia langsung ngumpetin mukanya di mic. Aku udah ngomong, masih gak mempan. Trus Illu deh ngomong ke Pasha, gak tau gimana cara ngomongnya, yang jelas Pasha akhirnya jadi pede. Sekarang, Lu, 20.000 penonton bisa dikendaliin ama Pasha. Suruh ke kiri, ikut ke kiri. Suruh nyalain korek, semua nyalain. Udah hebat dia. Dan itu berkat kamu juga!” Wah.. suamiku hebat juga..
Satu lagi, Enda dulu juga sempet minder. “Dia kalau maen tu menghadap tembok melulu,” kata Makki sambil memperagakan. Hihihi.. Maklum, Enda kan ngegantiin Ekky. Tadinya Enda juga bagian dari kru, trus disuruh ngegantiin Ekky, jadi sempet gak pede juga dia. “Setelah Illu ngomong, baru deh dia pede..” hmmm… Beneran, suamiku hebat!
“Nah, kamu udah bikin orang lain bisa pede, masa diri sendiri gak bisa begitu, gimana sih kamu, Lu?” kata Makki. Weleh.. bener juga, Mak..
Dia juga ngingetin Mas Illu yang sekarang udah berumur 33 tahun, seharusnya udah bisa jadi “seseorang”. “Masa mau begini-gini aja, Pak? Hayo, kasih tau aku mesti gimana, aku bantu kamu supaya bisa keluar dari lingkungan yang bingung begini. Lihat temen-temenmu udah pada jadi semua, kamunya ketinggalan..”
Anyway, ada satu kalimat Makki yang berkesan buat aku: “Kalau mau lompat, pastikan dulu kita tahu di mana akan mendarat.” Yes, betul banget, bos! Aku setubuh sama kalimat itu!
Thanks for being a great friend, Makki..
So… Suamiku sayang, hayo bangun dan berdiri. Jalan di depan kita masih panjang terhampar. Pintu kesempatan masih banyak, tinggal kitanya aja yang mau atau tidak mengambil salah satu kesempatan itu.. You’re the smartest and most creative man I’ve ever known, let your brain do the works for you..
I love you, Mas Illu, and I thank God for giving me the best man to be my husband and my partner for life.. Dunia akhirat ya, insya Allah.. Amiiin..
Tale of a Cat and a hybernating-Grizzly

I have a story. A philosophically-fable story. Not for kids. It’s for grown-ups instead. Because, this story might confusing some innocent adolescent-minds, as it IS about life.. and a little bit of love. Here we go..
Tale of a Cat and a hybernating-Grizzly
Hi. I’m a cat. Brown-tabby domestic cat. A little old I am. Cat-year and human-year is around 9:1 (1 year human = 9 year cat). Then I am 3,3 human-year old. Quite old, hunh?
Some called I’m a fairly-wise cat. But hey, all cats are wise! We only make noise when we feel something’s wrong. According to cat’s instinct–of course! And oh, I live in a nice “junglish forrest.” Unlike human who usually hates differences, here, many animals from different species and kinds live in such peace and harmony. No friends-eat-friends like human often do. Most of my friends here are mammals. Some are insects and reptiles. They are all nice and friendly. Again, unlike human!
One of those mammal-friends of mine is a grizzly bear. Honestly, he had taken my breath away in the past 11 cat-years. Yes, this little kitty fell in love with the bear from the very first sight. Cats rarely believed in love. Especially love at first sight. Alas, it happened to me, so let’s just face it..
But, this army-green colored-furry bear never knew me. He doesn’t even know that I exist. Well, that’s understandable. Why? I’ll tell you folks why. I met him on some animal-gathering event, 11 cat-years a go. I was still a young teenage kitten. And he was the center of attraction at that time. He was THE STAR of that event! “Morning sun shines bright upon him. The wind breezes for him,” these are how I felt, the first time I saw him. He caught my eyes and mind.
But, this shy-kitty was too afraid to get closer to him. I even ran away when he passed me by. He caused my heart beats harder, and my blood rushes quadraple-faster!! The way he threw his sight almost caused me fainted. That time, I was afraid of his claws, although they are not that sharp! I was afraid of his somehow-cute vicious grin. He might look scary, but everyone knows him as a lovely and kind-hearted bear.
After the event, he disappeared, somehow. Heard from some folks, he was taken by a graceful gazelle. She caught his heart. Ah, but of course, this fat brown tabby is nothing compared to a slender gazelle, rite?
So life goes on. Days become weeks become months become years. Friends said hellos and good-byes. Destiny blessed me with two most adorable creatures. A magnificent stallion and a stunning bunny boo. And this cat’s going solo with these babies together.
Then, somehow the path of fates came across. It met me with that grizzly. A stream of river made my eyes caught the sight of him. Didn’t want to waste more time, I swam to the other end of the river-wide and greets him in his cave. I showed up in front of his nose. Surprising him. I was so excited when he finally opened his eyes to see me. It caused me acted like a little kitten around her siblings. I ran here and there, trying to get his attention. Trying to make him happy. Especially when he started to smile widely every time he sees me around.
I didn’t realize he was still in a hibernation.. Indeed it was winter, but no snow outside. How should I know that?? I thought he was on his way to hunt after the “second gazelle” made her way out of his life. And I thought that I made him smile again, would lead me to his heart. I was wrong.. I was broken-hearted to learn that he decided to continue his hibernation, unready to live outside his comfortable cave. I thought I can make him love me, like I always love him afterall this cat-years. Well, big-news, I CAN’T!
And I thought I could stay in this cave together with him. I couldn’t.. He seems don’t want me to be around him. But he’s too nice to say “Hey, cat. Go away! Leave me alone!” So, as an ethical cat, it’s me the one who should say good bye and left the cave.
And so, I said good bye.. He reacted just as same as we first (reunion) met. He was little hurt, but he get through it better and faster than me.. Then, he continued his sleep. It’s still winter anyway. At least in his heart..
While outside is already spring. Flowers and leaves popped out from the trees. Even grass grow greener. He should’ve been go outside to see how beautiful our forest is now.. But he remains halt. Curling his body. Shutting his eyes. Plugging on his ears. He doesn’t seem to care with his surrounding and continues his hibernation. Or, simply he act like that because he doesn’t want me to see him again? I don’t know. But to see him like that hurting me more than learning his heart won’t go to mine.. It’s destroying himself action that hurt me more.. So, I walked away. As far as I can from his cave.
I ran to a savannah where I met a lonewolf lion. Matured and alone. I was amazed, a great lion like him let himself walk in solo. Well, he enjoys companies and he likes having good time with other creatures all througout the jungle. Being as wise as an old owl had made him popular among his herd. “A quiet and listening-lion” I called him. He put down his paws on me. Retreating his claws. He chose me. Well, I am now linger around in his lair. Although, sometimes my mind’s still on the cave with that hibernating grizzly inside.

This is interesting… but TRUE
Woman has Man in it;
Mrs. has Mr . in it;
Female has Male in it;
She has He in it;
Madam has Adam in it;
No wonder men always want to be inside women!
Men were born between the legs of a woman,
yet men spend all their life and time trying
to go back between the legs of a woman…., Why?
BECAUSE THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME
Okay, Okay, it all makes sense now…
I never looked at it this way before:
MENtal illness
MENstrual cramps
MENtal breakdown
MENopause
GUYnecologist
AND ..
When we have REAL trouble, it’s a
HISterectomy.
Ever notice how all of women’s problems start with MEN?

[tips] sedotan bisa selamatkan nyawa
Posted by: p2kafe on: June 19, 2008
Dari milis khusus wanita: gejolak_muda. Semoga bermanfaat! 
MANFAAT LAIN SEDOTAN
Suatu ketika saya dengan teman-teman sedang makan sate. Kemudian seorang teman menyatakan betapa ia ngeri setiap melihat sate yang potongannya besar-besar.
“Kenapa?” tanya saya.
“Saya ingat keponakan yang meninggal karena makan sate,” katanya.
Dia bercerita, waktu itu sedang ada syukuran dengan makan-makan. Dia masih ingat melihat si kecil keponakannya yang berlari-lari sambil membawa sate. Usianya sekitar 4 tahun.
Kemudian musibah datang. Anak kecil itu tercekik daging sate. Semua orang berusaha menolong. Anak itu dibalik, dipukul-pukul belakang lehernya (bahkan sampai biru-biru, kata dia sambil matanya berkaca-kaca), daging sate tak juga keluar. Lalu mereka mencari angkot untuk membawa anak itu ke rumah sakit. Dia masih melihat anak kecil itu tersengal-sengal menarik nafas di kendaraan. Pemandangan yang sungguh memilukan.
Tuhan berkehendak lain. Anak itu meninggal di perjalanan.
Sampai di rumah sakit, petugas memberi tahu bahwa untuk mengeluarkan benda yang mencekik tenggorokan, cukup dengan memasukkan SEDOTAN MINUM ke kerongkongan. Lalu hisap sehingga benda itu menempel.. Lalu tarik.
Sesederhana itu.
Menangislah semua orang. Betapa sederhananya untuk menyelamatkan nyawa.
Betapa berharganya ilmu untuk menyelamatkan nyawa. KALAU ANAK ANDA TERCEKIK MAKANAN KENYAL, keluarkan PAKAI SEDOTAN!
Semoga lebih banyak jiwa yang terselamatkan dengan pengetahuan sederhana ini. Amin.

Masih dari Ririen.. Thanks, girl..
A CUP OF JOKES
LESSON 1
A junior manager, a senior manager and their boss are on their way to a meeting.
On their way through a park, they come across a wonder lamp. They rub the lamp and a ghost appears.
The ghost says, “Normally, one is granted three wishes but as you are three, I will allow one wish each”
So the eager senior manager shouted, “I want the first wish.
I want to be in the Bahamas, on a fast boat and have no worries.” Pfufffff… And he was gone.
Now the junior manager could not keep quiet and shouted “I want to be In Florida with beautiful girls, plenty of food and cocktails.”
Pfufffff…. And he was also gone.
The boss calmly said, “I want these two idiots back in the office after lunch at 12.35pm.”
MORAL OF THE STORY IS: “ALWAYS ALLOW THE BOSS TO SPEAK FIRST”
LESSON 2
Standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand, “Listen,” said the CEO, “this is a very sensitive and important document, and my secretary has left. Can you make this thing work?”
“Certainly,” said the young executive.
He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.
“Excellent, excellent!” said the CEO as his paper disappeared inside the shredder machine. “I just need one copy.”
MORAL : “NEVER, NEVER ASSUME THAT YOUR BOSS KNOWS EVERYTHING”
LESSON 3
An American and a Japanese were sitting on the plane on the way to LA When the American turned to the Japanese and asked,
“What kind of -ese are you?”
The Japanese confused, replied, “Sorry but I don’t understand what you mean.”
The American repeated, “What kind of -ese are you?
Again, the Japanese was confused over the question.
The American, now irritated, then yelled, “What kind of -ese are you …
Are you a Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese! Etc……??? “
The Japanese then replied, “Oh, I am Japanese.”
A while later the Japanese turned to the American and asked what kind of ‘key’ was he.
The American, frustrated, yelled, “What do you mean what kind of -kee’ am I?!”
The Japanese said, “Are you a Yankee, donkee, or monkee?”
MORAL : “NEVER INSULT ANYONE”
LESSON 4
There were these 4 guys, a Russian, a German, an American and a French, who found this small genie bottle.
When they rubbed the bottle, a genie appeared.
Thankful that the 4 guys had released him out of the bottle, He said, “Next to you all are 4 swimming pools, I will give each of you a wish. When you run towards the pool and jump, you shout what you want the pool of water to be! Come, and then your wish will come true.”
The French wanted to start. He ran towards the pool, jumped and shouted, “WINE”. The pool immediately changed into a pool of wine. The Frenchman was so happy swimming and drinking from the pool.
Next is the Russian’s turn, he did the same and shouted, “VODKA” and Immersed himself into a pool of vodka.
The German was next and he jumped and shouted, “BEER”. He was so contented with his beer pool.
The last is the American. He was running towards the pool when suddenly he steps on a banana peel. He slipped towards the pool and shouted, “SHIT!!!!!!! ……… “
MORAL : “THINK TWICE BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING, BECAUSE SOMETIMES ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN”
LESSON 5
The organs of the body were having a meeting, trying to decide who was in charge. Each organ took a turn to speak up:
Brain: I should be in charge because I run all body functions.
Blood: I should be in charge because I circulate oxygen for the brain.
Stomach: I should be in charge because I process food to the brain.
Legs: I should be in charge because I take the brain where it wants to go.
Eyes: I should be in charge because I let the brain see where it’s going.
Asshole: I should be in charge because I get rid of your waste.
All the other parts laughed so hard and this made the asshole very mad. To prove his point, the asshole immediately slammed tightly closed and stayed that way for 6 days, refusing to rid the body of any waste whatsoever.
Day 1 – Brain got a terrible headache and cried out for relief
Day 2 – Stomach got bloated and began to ache terribly
Day 3 – Legs got cramps and became unstable
Day 4 – Eyes became watery and vision became blurred
Day 5 – Blood became toxic and poisoned the body
Day 6 -The other organs agreed to let the asshole be in charge.
MORAL OF THE STORY: “NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, OR HOW IMPORTANT YOU THINK YOU ARE, YOU WILL FIND THAT IT IS ALWAYS THE ASSHOLE THAT IS IN CHARGE”.

Apa jadinya jika semua doa terkabul?
Posted by: p2kafe on: June 17, 2008
Tiba-tiba aja keinget topik di Yahoo! Answer Indonesia, beberapa bulan lalu…
Apa yang kira-kira akan terjadi jika semua doa manusia terkabul?
Saya ikut njawab di sana. Jawabanku (klo gak salah inget) begini, “Yang jelas KACAU.”
Hehe.. Soalnya keinget film Bruce Almighty-nya Jim Carey itu lho.. Di situ Bruce “mengunduh” doa dari umat manusia melalui web-based email Yahweh! *wakakakak.. bisaaa aja dah holywood!* Setiap harinya, 3 juta doa datang kepada “Tuhan”. Saking malasnya, Bruce jawab, “Yes” untuk setiap doa.
Akhirnya, yang terjadi di dunia adalah chaos. Dalam waktu bersamaan 4.000 orang menang lotere. Karena, mereka berdoa, “Ya Tuhan, semoga kali ini saya menang lotere.” hehe..
Itu contoh simpel ya? Tapi, kalau dipikirkan, dalam lhoo! Ternyata, Allah memang Paling Tahu siapa hamba-Nya. Nggak ada yang luput satupun dari pengamatan-Nya deh! Kita nggak tau kan, klo perampok pun sering berdoa supaya kejahatannya tidak segera terbongkar?
Mengingat ini, somehow I am glad I’m not God! I’m glad I’m only a human. Kalau tidak, I could never stand even just for one second being in His shoes! And I am glad, as a human, I have someone I could turn to: God! When ever I’m restless, I have someone I could talk to: God! When ever I’m in doubt, I have someone as the source of strength: God!
And this very second, I’ve never been happier being a human! Thank You, Allah…!
Balik ke masalah “doa yang selalu terkabul”, ya, saya kira memang akan terjadi chaos. Nggak hanya itu, manusia juga jadi malas. Nggak akan mau berusaha lagi dan akan berpikir, “Ngapain berusaha? Tuhan pasti mengabulkan doaku kok.. Lagian Dia Maha Tahu apa yang aku mau, tanpa doa pun Dia akan kasih.” Walalalalaaah.. hamba kayak gini nih, yang songong! 
And, again, this very second, I’ve never been happier that Allah commands us to do our best effort to get what we want to achieve! Working hard would never feel bitter ever again.. Gimana mau bitter, wong dalam setiap usaha Allah pasti menyertai langkah kita (apalagi kalau niat kita lurus). Bukankah sangat menyenangkan jika selalu ada Allah memperhatikan kita?
Lagian, semua kepahitan, kepedihan, dan kesulitan–jika kita menyikapinya dengan baik dan berpikir jernih–malah akan mendewasakan kita. Mendidik kita untuk lebih bijak lagi melangkah ke depannya..
I really never felt happier but to see my past and said, “God, I think I’ve done well…”
What about you, folks? Hope you’re doing great too..
Miss Kitty rocks!
Posted by: p2kafe on: June 17, 2008
miss kitty, parked at my office
I have a car. It’s a silver Toyota Avanza G, 1,3 cc. My dad bought it for me on May 2005. (At that time, I shouted, “At last!” hehe..)
As you folks might knew, I named my car Miss Kitty. She’s been a tough ride. Quite naughty car, I shall say. From home to office (40 km away) thousands of times already. Jakarta-Surabaya-Jakarta twice, Jakarta-Tasikmalaya-Jakarta many times and Jakarta-Bandung-Jakarta hundreds times. And I only replaced the battery (accu) once in the past 3 years. And never has she failed me.. A very tough lady she is! Love her!
And today, another reason made me love her more..
About 10.40 AM, the tire was flatted on TB Simatupang Toll Road. Luckily, my husband drove in a minimum speed (60 kph) so the car was still stable. So, no casualties, just a flat tire. My husband replaced the tire fast. A toll road officer helped us. After the tire being replaced, my husband said to me, “I still can’t understand the relation between the tire to the machine. I don’t think a tire can influence the run of a machine..”
Earlier, from home, I and my husband felt strange about the car. We’ve been using it daily and my husband is a pretty good mechanic, so he understands if there’s something wrong with our ride. We checked the tire’s grip and pressure, all ok. We checked the gas, ok. But something’s wrong with the machine. It doesn’t run smoothly, as if something plugged the exhaust system, so it runs like jumpy.
Along the way, we were questioning one another, perhaps it’s the time to get her new lubricant. And yet, we did feel something wrong with the tire, the old one to be precise (on rear right). When that exact tire flat, we already expect that..
But, still.. what’s the relation between a bad tire to jumpy machine. Because, after the tire replaced, the machine runs smoothly as usual! Isn’t that strange? As if my Miss Kitty tried to say something, “Beware, the tire’s ready to flat..” hehehe.. 
What ever that is, Thank’s Allah for the protection! Because of Allah, we both arrived at our offices, safe and sound.. And, thank’s to Miss Kitty too.. Good kitty..!! Yay!!
