being a mother or a career freak woman (an issue of feminism)




Well, I know these days there are this emancipation where women are freely being able to choose whatever option lies ahead. Nevertheless, sometimes it seems funny for me how on certain case some women are exceedingly greedy to have both--career and being a mom, while in fact it's like almost impossible to be done, not with a sacrifice from one part nor the other. Take this woman for example, she's like happily married, and had a good career as a lecturer. But somewhat she wanted more and left her two-year-old to study abroad. Just for her own ambition? And she dare to say she misses her child! If she misses him, she wouldn't have left him on the first place! Such hypocrite. I wonder how's her husband feeling 'bout this, would he be annoyed? (Served to the fact that his wife like "abandoned" her child for the sake of her own dream?) Or would he be an apathetic minor person that just say "yes" (a yes man indeed) to whatever his wife asked for? I wonder where did this man's ego went to...hmmm. If you could be wiser, don't push yourself into marriage if you still want to pursue your OWN dream, especially when a child is being involved (read: actually born) in the marriage. There would be a lot more sacrifice to be made just to feed your hunger for self-estimation, glory, and what-so-ever, everything that you actually can achieve BEFORE you're attached to a bunch of people due to your marriage. Or can a reconciliation be made in order to praise this egoistical "MOTHERLY" act? Why did you decide to becoming a mother anyways, if your own consideration always be put as a priority? I'm not exactly a misogynist, I'm not that feminist either. But what I can't understand is why do they choose this part and then blaming the situation? It's your freaking own fault to loose your child (in someway) and win over your ambition. So, i'm only an observer (since i'm still single and obviously don't have babies), but I pitied them who left their child just for their own ego. What the hell are they thinking? Making those babies then just carry on with your own purpose??? c'mon, u've got responsibility now, ma'am... as a freaking mother.

obrolan setengah dua pagi

"Hey, kayanya mouthwash kita cepet habis ya...??" "Eh,iya...aku baru aja mo ngajakin kamu beli lagi..." "Lho? kirain kamu yang ngabisin..." "Lah??" .... (Kami berdua terdiam) Terlintas langsung beberapa bulan yang lalu, saat teman saya itu baru beberapa hari tinggal di kosan ini. Hp-nya raib, hanya beberapa menit saat dia tinggal mandi! Tersangkanya? Well, ada satu makhluk ini--bawaan dari anak kos baru juga. Entah dia sodaranya, ato pacarnya, kami ga tau. Tapi yang jelas dia tinggal tiap hari di situ, di kamar yang jelas-jelas disewa untuk satu orang itu. Dan well, siang hari, pas cewenya itu kerja, dia suka bawa cewe lain ke kamar... ( what the??? ) dan gelagatnya mencurigakan (ga kaya berteman...) Hmm.. terlepas dari gaya sok Don Juan or Casanova kacangan dari makhluk itu (yang ganteng juga ga, kaya apalagi, tapi klepto and ngepul kaya lokomotif jaman jebot), dia seenaknya make kamar mandi yang saya share bareng temen saya itu (di sini 2 k...

#9: Happiness

  Day 9 of 30 days writing challenge. Happiness I am everything but happy right now, I'm sorry. Not really in the mood to talk about happiness so today we'll be off topic. Not happy now. Just heard a heartbreaking news about work-related stuff, and the feel of rejection is similar with the one that I felt during my apprenticeship year, when I heard that my Studio Coordinator gave me an E so I have to do another year again (8 hours credits do it another year, he hated me gut and my window shape , so yeah I'm screwed). Always thought that drawing buildings isn't my thing, but I stuck there nonetheless. Come to think of it, my undergrad years were full of sh*t and sadness, there's always this lecturer that hated your design. And you felt like crap). I cried back then, on the rooftop of RRI building where my project management took place. I'm not always bright, I've been through hell. And it's not sweet. Anyways, I'm not unfamiliar with this kind of f...

How to Ghibli?

That time of the year, again. Why can't life be more like Ghibli's aesthetics? It has been a while for me to be in my 30s, and soon I will be turning 40. What will one expect when one turns into a 40-year-old woman?  Why can't life be like Ghibli's slice of life feature films? Why can't we find ideal love like in those movies? 3 years ago today I still can't imagine that I finally found out that my (back then) spouse was a serial cheater, a swinger, and an avid liar. My whole life was crumbled, and my mind went crazy, like literally mad (will tell this someday when I'm ready). And briefly after that, I met a random guy, got married again in such a short time, and have a baby not long after. Back then, no one really cares about how I feel inside, my messed up mind is still there up until now. So, what to do?
