Need for Speed

Tidak sengaja menonton film berdasar games balapan yang tayang di salah satu stasiun swasta malam ini.

Bukan, aku tidak akan membahas tentang film itu.

Aku pertama mengenal istilah Need for Speed di awal tahun 2000-an. Tidak pernah memainkannya, tapi selalu terinspirasi dengan frase itu. Need for Speed. It rhymes, and it chimes.

Bukan sekali dua aku terpikir dan membayangkan ingin mencoba balapan di sirkuit resmi. Uh, tanpa halangan perintang pasti nikmat sekali melintas mulus di atas aspal panas.

Dulu, waktu sering melaju dengan Supra X ku, aku sering menikmati jalanan dengan kecepatan (cukup) tinggi. Abaikan fakta bahwa aku perempuan berjilbab. Ada sesuatu yang menggetarkan jiwa saat melaju kencang di atas jalanan. Risiko? Hm, dalam hidup apa sih yang tidak berisiko? Toh semua kulakukan dengan perhitungan dan tidak ugal-ugalan.

Satu kecelakaan motor tunggal yang kualami selama inipun justru terjadi karena aku mengantuk sepulang acara menginap yang membuatku kurang tidur, dan bukan karena aku memacu kecepatan motorku.

Harus kuakui aku merindukan saat-saat itu. Bahkan kini saat lebih sering duduk di bangku navigator, eh penumpang, aku sering gemas dengan gaya menyetir kalem suamiku. Aaarghh!

Sial! Kenapa sih aku harus terlahir jadi adrenaline junkie!

For her upcoming 8th birthday, she have everything plan out. (Most probably an Intuitive, yup, since her birthday won't be here until another two months). She already plan how it will be celebrated. Her father and I never celebrate our birthdays so her images of birthdays are definitely not from us. She plans what she wants to eat. Quite anti mainstream because she requested "nasi and kremesan". She plans when it will be held (not on her actual birth day because she wants to celebrate it with her cousin and relatives in her father's hometown). She also plans who she is going to invite. What amaze me the most is she has this idea that her cousins will give her presents which she already has prepared earlier herself. So today I drove her to this stationery store, not a fancy one, just one near her school. She then bought pretty much everything she needs and wants for her birthday. She choose the cute stuffs she wants as her present, pick the pretty boxes and bags to put

Understanding and Curing Limerence

(Excerpt from limerence .net , nothing was written by me) The phases of limerence Like other addictions, we see limerence originating from early life psychological wounding. We use it to fill a hole in our soul.  We  describe  limerence as the mother of all distractions and when working with clients in limerence we are  curious to uncover what is it the person avoiding dealing with?  So often there is deep unresolved emotional pain. The client has protected themselves by covering their hearts over the years and decades with layers and layers of reinforced concrete.  This was a survival mechanism necessary from growing up in a dysfunctional and often narcissistic family system. The reality is limerence never lasts – typically it spans from 6-36 months. Just long enough for us to pair-bond and continue the survival of the species. Recent advances in neuroimaging and neurochemistry are now mapping out these pathways for romantic love. We also feel limerence is a gateway to grief. It ma
