Close Encounter of The Same Kind

Well, for the title, I don't mean to say that finally I meet those nerdies and geekers, but I meet my ex-colleagues, or should I say, not all my colleagues, but also my seniors. We were all GEMA crews (teenage column in BERNAS, eliminated in recent issues), and at that time, I was the youngest (1st grade of Junior High, and most of my partners were at least 1st grade of Senior High!!! '^_^).
This woman, whom I met recently, was one of my senior, and a die hard journalist at that time. Her name is Femi. Fr. Femi Adi something....... And I found out that she was in the writing career right now, being a true journalist.
This made me think, that, hey, GEMA was really precious (though we worked without any single penny given, labouring all week, trapped by deadline, and no salary........). It really taught us, how to write. We learnt to write through experiences (well, that's the best teacher though!). And what has happened to us?
Other than Femi, I found that our senior (can be said, the pioneer), Kristupa W. Saragih (some may have heard his name) has found success, started from being Hai Magazine contributor (he was the first of us to step forward into national publisher), and now becoming a famous national photographer, or even international.
AA Kunto A (the pioneer of Sanggar Talenta), once worked in Kanisius, routinly sent his writing to Kompas, the worked in BASIS, and now becoming journalist in MARKETING magazine. FAmous also!
Punto Wijayanto, I forgot his achievement, but I'm sure have heard of it somewhere.
The Others? Well, Iip was my senior both in GEMA and Persada (my High School Magazine), Erita C.B., heard of you somewhere..........
Yeah, myself, soon will publish 2 novels. So, what a way GEMA has changed us! (If you'd like to know, my reason for joining GEMA was to publish my own name in Newspaper. That time, I think it's COOL! What a lame reason!!)
Guys, glad to have chance to know you all! Hope our success and career will keep growing like we all wished!

F**k

These days, I feel so fucking tired. Perhaps, because one problem comes after another. Simultaneously, don't even have the time to rest. One activity coming after another. Only God knows when it stops.

I lost my loved one, once again. Yet, it's not about rejection, but I just don't give goddamn fucking shot. Well, though now, she's with one of my fucking best friend, but still, I'm fucking tired of this releasing and letting go........ Goddamn it! Yet, almost at the same time, I did meet one person, who gave me warmth and comfort. But, as usual, you know who usually comes and approaches me?? Yeah, good guess man! Same thing keeps happening! Asshole!

i'VE BEEN so fucking tired with these bloody problems and duality. Ambiguous, Vagueness, whatever you call them! I'm so fucking tired man!

(And perhaps, it DOES explain strong swear words in this item. Asshole!)
