I'm Loved (Thank you Lord!)

Can't stop wondering why He love me so,
Can't help feeling awe for the amount of love He gave me,
Can't help loving Him so...
Thank you Lord!

When I fell, He reach out His hand through my friends, and help me get up
When i need support, He offered His shoulder through my friends, and I can cry my heart out
When I am scared, He hold me close through my friends, and i know i am safe
So, Thank you Lord!

"I just want to be alone!" and i found myself alone in the office, giving me time to think and rearrange my heart
"I don't want to be alone..." and i found myself surrounded by friends, giving me strength and courage to move on
I am spoiled by His love indeed, Thank you Lord!

whatever i want, whenever i ask, He will always be there for me
and He send his love through friends, families, even strangers
basically through anyone that opens his or her heart to acknowledge Him inside.
because there is always a part of Him inside us

I am loved indeed, but so do you and everyone else...
So pass His love around, because you are His angels and He loves through you
and let's make more and more people said:
I'm loved! Thank you Lord!

Love and Other Disaster

I just read a bridal magazine a few minutes ago, and got rather overwhelmed with it. The magazine is filled with fancy details which we hardly need and I positively snuff during my relationship period (yet secretly longing for it and will perhaps beg and try my best to get it), which of course, exactly what good bridal magazine do for you. Yet during this post break-up period, the longing hit me like a tidal wave. Yes, the ring, the gown, the dinner setting, even the fancy cocktail (which, as Balinese, i wouldn't need anyway LOL).

It takes me quite a while to realize that i don't want any of those actually. what i really yearn for is someone to plan those stupid helpless pathetic stuff with me. And even if he doesn't care about that, I still need him to tell me that he doesn't care. Oh Hell, i need a husband to-be :D. And a damn good one :))

Although books and doctors and psychologists and Agatha Christie (mm, she's not in the league, but I love her :p) stated that humans are so predictable and they never change, I found that it is not entirely true. Some people change, some people don't. Especially in relationship (any relationship be it friendship, working, whatever!) when one of you do change, adjustment will be needed and if you can't fine-tune the relationship and adjust each other it will simply go BOOM. I lost more friends that way :( Being in wedding industry, I know that couples do separate from each other. A marriage can last 5 year or more, but also a year or less. Really encouraging, ha? Makes you think twice to get a life-long partner, yet I want it anyway.

I guess the puzzle piece theory is right. You'll need the right puzzle piece (a.k.a husband, work, etc) to completed the jigsaw (a.k.a. your life). Yet if you decided to change into a different jigsaw, your pieces may not fit the game anymore. It's either back to the old game, or start completing the jigsaw from scratch (which you may unable to find ALL the pieces). I stupidly (some say) choose from scratch. I know that I may not be able to completed this new game, but at least I know that now everyone have a fair chance to complete their jigsaw and be happy, because I have change and I can't go back.

"Will I change again? Can I find someone that willing to make the adjustment together? Can it last?" So many negatives thinking twirls in my head and the bridal magazine only emphasize my fear and longing (lesson of the day: stay AWAY from bride magz during post-breakup period lol). Yet with all the gloomy prediction, I'm still hoping I can completed my Jigsaw. I might be lucky enough to find that last piece of jigsaw, I might be fortunate enough to make this game as my last game, I might be blessed enough to have a happily ever-after story. Who knows? Love can be a real disaster in your life, all those pain, longing, tears, and inefficient time spend for it. But you know what? Disasters, like other things in life, can have happy endings, and I'm gonna find mine. With luck, i might even find someone that will listen to my whim for a white floating wedding gown (hardly, especially if he's Balinese hehehehe). Wish me luck, fellas!

Forward-an dari someone's e-mail:Cara mengubah sudut pandang

Jejak Sepatu di Karpet (A True Story)


Ada seorang ibu rumah tangga yang memiliki 4 anak laki-laki. Urusan
belanja, cucian, makan, kebersihan & kerapihan rumah dapat ditanganinya
dengan baik. Rumah tampak selalu rapih dan bersih dan teratur, suami serta
anak2nya sangat menghargai pengabdiannya itu.

Cuma ada satu masalah, ibu yg pembersih ini sangat tidak suka kalau karpet
di rumahnya kotor. Ia bisa meledak dan marah berkepanjangan hanya
gara-gara melihat jejak sepatu di atas karpet, dan suasana tidak enak akan
berlangsung seharian. padahal, dengan 4 anak laki-laki di rumah, hal ini
mudah sekali terjadi dan menyiksanya.

Atas saran keluarganya, ia pergi menemui seorang psikolog bernama Virginia
Satir dan menceritakan masalahnya. Setelah mendengarkan cerita sang ibu
dengan penuh perhatian, Virginia Satir tersenyum & berkata kepada sang ibu
: 'Ibu harap tutup mata ibu dan bayangkan apa yang akan saya katakan' Ibu
itu kemudian menutup matanya.

'Bayangkan rumah ibu yang rapih dan karpet ibu yang bersih mengembang, tak
ternoda, tanpa kotoran, tanpa jejak sepatu, bagaimana perasaan ibu?'
Sambil tetap menutup mata, senyum ibu itu merekah, mukanya yg murung
berubah cerah. Ia tampak senang dengan bayangan yang dilihatnya.

Virginia Satir melanjutkan; 'Itu artinya tidak ada seorangpun di rumah
ibu. Tak ada suami, tak ada anak-anak, tak terdengar gurau canda dan tawa
ceria mereka. Rumah ibu sepi dan kosong tanpa orang-orang yang ibu
kasihi'. Seketika muka ibu itu berubah keruh, senyumnya langsung
menghilang, nafasnya mengandung isak. Perasaannya terguncang. Pikirannya
langsung cemas membayangkan apa yang tengah terjadi pada suami dan
anak-anaknya.

'Sekarang lihat kembali karpet itu, ibu meli hat jejak sepatu & kotoran
disana, artinya suami dan anak-anak ibu ada di rumah, orang-orang yang ibu
cintai ada bersama ibu dan kehadiran mereka menghangatkan hati ibu'. Ibu
itu mulai tersenyum kembali, ia merasa nyaman dengan visualisasi tsb.

'Sekarang bukalah mata ibu' Ibu itu membuka matanya 'Bagaimana, apakah
karpet kotor masih menjadi masalah buat ibu?' Ibu itu tersenyum dan
menggelengkan kepalanya. 'Aku tahu maksud anda' ujar sang ibu, 'Jika kita
melihat dengan sudut yang tepat, maka hal yang tampak negatif dapat
dilihat secara positif'.

Sejak saat itu, sang ibu tak pernah lagi mengeluh soal karpetnya yang
kotor, karena setiap meli hat jejak sepatu disana, ia tahu, keluarga yg
dikasihinya ada di rumah.

Kisah di atas adalah kisah nyata. Virginia Satir adalah seorang psikolog
terkenal yang mengilhami Richard Binder & John Adler untuk menciptakan NLP
(Neurolinguistic Programming) . Teknik yang dipakainya di atas disebut
Reframing, yaitu bagaimana kita 'membingkai ulang' sudut pandang kita
sehingga sesuatu yg tadinya negatif dapat menjadi positif, salah satu
caranya dengan mengubah sudut pandangnya.

Terlampir beberapa contoh pengubahan sudut pandang :

Saya BERSYUKUR;

1. Untuk
istri yang mengatakan malam ini kita hanya makan mie instan, karena itu
artinya ia bersamaku bukan dengan orang lain.

2. Untuk
suami yang hanya duduk malas di sofa menonton TV, karena itu artinya ia
berada di rumah dan bukan di bar, kafe, atau di tempat mesum.

3. Untuk
anak-anak yang ribut mengeluh tentang banyak hal, karena itu artinya
mereka di rumah dan tidak jadi anak jalanan

4. Untuk
Tagihan Pajak yang cukup besar, karena itu artinya saya bekerja dan
digaji tinggi

5. Untuk
sampah dan kotoran bekas pesta yang harus saya bersihkan, karena itu
artinya keluarga kami dikelilingi banyak teman

6. Untuk
pakaian yang mulai kesempitan, karena itu artinya saya cukup makan

7. Untuk rasa
lelah, capai dan penat di penghujung hari, karena itu artinya saya masih
mampu bekerja keras

8. Untuk
semua kritik yang saya dengar tentang pemerintah, karena itu artinya masih
ada kebebasan berpendapat

9. Untuk
bunyi alarm keras jam 5 pagi yg membangunkan saya, karena itu artinya saya
masih bisa terbangun, masih hidup

10. Untuk setiap
permasalahan hidup yang saya hadapi, karena itu artinya Tuhan sedang
membentuk dan menempa saya untuk menjadi lebih baik lagi

Because you're worth it, they're worth it, I'm worth it!

Saya suka dipuji! Oke, saya akan menjelaskan lebih lanjut setelah hujan makian dan sepatu kalian mereda (namun klo bisa lempar high heels yang oke dan lengkap sepasang ya…size 38…).

-Hujan makian selesai, payung pelindung ditutup, harga diri yang sempat tercecer dipungut-

Saya baru saja mengalami hari yang lumayan sucks di kantor, until a friend text me. Diantara sms-sms kami yang ga penting itu terselip kalimat-kalimat yang bikin hari saya mendadak cerah: “we miss you”, “Loe mang paling oke!” “ga seru kalo ga ada elo”, etc. Mungkin kata-kata standar, tapi saya yakin teman saya mengucapkannya (atau tepatnya mengetikkannya) dengan sungguh-sungguh. I mean something to them.

Bos saya sekarang juga (puji Tuhan) cukup beradab. Among others, mereka selalu menyempatkan memuji saya bila hasil yang saya kerjakan itu bagus, atau hal-hal lain yang menurut mereka pantas untuk dipuji. Hasilnya, saya bukan hanya betah bekerja, namun hasil kerja saya juga jauh lebih bagus dari sebelumnya. The power of words is simply amazing.

And why not? Siapa sih yang ga senang dipuji? Siapa sih yang ga senang dihargai? Jauh di lubuk hati kita pastilah kita ingin dihargai, terutama oleh orang lain. Maklum, mahluk sosial :). Semakin kita dihargai orang, semakin kita merasa bahwa hidup itu menyenangkan. Ada yang bilang pujian itu memabukkan, tapi bila diucapkan dengan sungguh-sungguh (dan dalam dosis yang tepat) serta diterima dengan sepantasnya pula, pujian bisa menjadi pendorong yang luar biasa.

Tentunya saya ga akan tertipu dengan pujian yang ga masuk akal. Buat saya, mendengar kalimat-kalimat standar kaya: “Cumi, thx for your help!”atau “Emang paling gila klo ma Dayu :D”, atau “Saya suka hasil kamu,” itu jauh lebih berarti daripada pujian hiperbola “kamu menawan sekali hari ini!” atau “Kerja yang fantastis!”. Ga heran saya gagal terus main MLM. Pujian yang realistis justru always work, apalagi kalo ditambah dosis kesungguhan hari. Muantabbbb! Rasanya I can change the world!

Buat yang menuduh saya narsis, ya…mungkin aja seh (ga berusaha mengelak sama sekali :p). Tapi saya ngerasa kalo I worth it, I’m worthy for all those kind words. Ini trik yang agak sulit memang. Kalau kita ga ngerasa diri kita pantas dihargai, orang pasti ga akan menghargai kita. Tapi kalau kita ngerasa kita VVVIP, jangan harap dihargain juga :) . Jadi harus bisa menakar seberapa berharganya diri kita, lalu dosis percaya dirinya disesuaikan dengan nilai tadi. Tentunya takaran ini berbeda menurut pandangan orang, jadi bagi yg masih menganggap saya narsis, yah…saya pasrah sajalah :D.

Seperti kata pepatah: one good turn deserves another. Seberapapun hebatnya kita, ga da artinya kalau kita ga bisa menghargai orang lain. Kepercayaan diri dan kemampuan menilai diri sendiri ga akan berguna bila kita masih berpikiran “Me, myself and I”. Jangan “egois mode” on. Kalau tau dihargai orang itu menyenangkan, kalau tahu dipuji itu melegakan, kenapa ga melakukan itu terhadap orang lain? Toh ga keluar uang atau energy, ada juga malah menambah tabungan di Akhirat nanti….

Bilang “Terimakasih!” plus senyum dan kesungguhan hati pada OB yang sudah berlari membelikan rokok untuk kita (karena toh bos bisa ngamuk klo ketauan kita kabur cuma buat beli rokok), “Hari ini kelihatan segar banget,” sama teman yang ga sengaja ketemu di Mall (dan memang dia kelihatan segar!). Anything goes! Pujian, kind words, bahkan kata-kata standar pun selama diucapkan sepenuh hati pastilah membuat perbedaan.

Memang, semua teori ini ga berguna kalau kita sudah memutuskan untuk cuek sama orang lain, apapun alasannya. Tapi Manusia ga ada yang sempurna. Selebih-lebihnya kita, ada kekurangannya; sekurang-kurangnya orang lain, pasti adalah kelebihannya. Ga susah kok belajar biar bisa menerima atau menghargai orang lain, toh programnya dah di install dalam hati kita. Just open up your heart and let God do wonders through you. Sebarkan kebaikan yang sudah kamu terima kepada orang lain, jangan pelit dan disimpan sendiri. Because you worth it, they worth it, I worth it!

"Short skirt long jacket" girls, hear my calling...!

"I want a girl with a mind like a diamond
I want a girl who knows whats best
I want a girl with shoes that cut
And eyes that burn like cigarettes

I want a girl with the right allocation
Who’s fast, and thorough, and sharp as a tack
She’s playing with her jewelry, she’s putting up her hair
She’s touring the facility and picking up slack
I want a girl with a short skirt,
And a loooooooooooong jacket"


Truth to tell, I made this note purely out of annoyance :). An acquaintance of mine looks down and dirty at me after I gave her a nice piece of advice regarding her beloved hubby, and I find it rather annoying. Of course, it is never a good idea to say to a frustrated wife that a nice attractive girl can easily snatched her hubby away and we’ll gladly show her how :p. But the poor guy was bullied all the way, what else left for us, nice girls, to do?? Yup, the mischievous me wins…

I know it is not mine to interfere, especially since some guys DO enjoy being bullied. Yet I couldn’t stop the horror in my heart, because I think men are worth to be respected (perhaps some don’t but I’m writing for the best part of them. If you’re not included in the best part, kindly skip my writing :p). That aside, her dirty look upon me when I gave my “kind” advice is indeed annoying. What’s wrong being a nice and attractive girl?

I totally disapprove snatching other people partner. That is so barbaric and beside, there are many fish in the ocean, they say. Why dirty yourself with such low act? Nevertheless, I also disapprove on my acquaintance act. Call me an anti-feminist, but I truly believe in the old virtues. Spoiled him and he’ll spoiled you, be kind with him and he’ll be kind with you. Of course, you might want to train him to do those things or (if he refuses to do so) simply get another guy. Let’s just say he’s not included in the best part of the group. Guys should take good care of girls, whether it’s financially, physically, or in any aspect related, and girls should take good care of guys and respect them likewise. We are equal indeed.

If you think I’m boring, I do believe girls can have fun as well, which makes me even more disapprove with my acquaintance dirty look. Why can’t girls be attractive? Girls, in every aspect, should be attractive. I’m not talking about wearing short skirt and tank tops everywhere; I’m talking about walking with pride and feel good about you. It’s not always about the cleavage, but it’s always about being nice and looking mightily comfortable with yourself. I believe a nice girl can get a better man (and with many different choices, too) compared with the “back-off-you-despicable-thing" type of girls.

So, if we’re wandering around with our high heels and backless shirts, please don’t get us wrong. We’re simply enjoying ourselves. If we made guys heads turn, please don't get us wrong. We're simply being ourselves. If you disrespect your guy yet he respects us, please don’t get us wrong. It’s not our fault our good trait makes him feels good (but you really must learn from us!). If you see us on the street, being nice, attractive and confident as we always do, come and join us. Because we do what good girls should do: respect and be kind to others, feel extremely good and give only the best for themselves, and of course, believe in yourself!

Para ko-as, kindly read....

‘May I never see in the patient anything but a fellow creature in pain. May I never consider him merely a vessel of the disease’ by Maimonides (1135–1204)

Setelah sekian lama “mengundurkan” diri dari rimba FK, saya iseng mengecek blog PSPD, dan salah satu komentar disana sungguh menyengat saya:

Quote by Anonym ” Mengenai sampe ada angkatan 1999 yang masih ada, menurut saya itu karena kesalahan mereka sendiri, ngapain mereka bersantai santai ria dan berharap kebaikan akan diluluskan, ya jelas saja akan menambah beban stag. Kalo ga pantas lulus kenapa harus dipaksakan...?”

Thanks hotshot, it is so nice to be “appreciated” by a fellow colleague.

Mungkin si anonym yang berkomentar ini ga pernah ditendang keluar dan menghadapi kerasnya hidup ya…. Life is not that easy, it never was and it never will. Emang, senior ada yang kelihatan ‘santai-santai’ aja, tapi ga ada yang ‘berharap kebaikan akan diluluskan’. Semua usaha, semua berjuang. Saya pun salah satu diantaranya. Buat yang pernah lihat saya, pasti pikir saya salah satu yg ‘bersantai’. Ada yang tahu ga saya harus lgs kabur sesudah kuliah (bahkan saat) biar saya ga telat kerja? Ada yang lihat ga saya berurai airmata but still keep my head up high karena dibentak ma dosen yang ga percaya saya harus kerja? Yeah, I depend on me, and I’m proud of it. Begitu pula rekan-rekan saya yang terlambat karena punya anak, atau yang memang sudah berusaha tapi kondisi belum memungkinkan. Semua niat, semua usaha.

Apa komentarnya? “Ngapain mereka nikah and punya anak?”, “ klo emang otaknya ga sanggup masuk FK keluar aja,” “Udahan aja kalau ga sanggup bayar FK”. Saya pengen banget jadi dokter, tapi ga berarti saya harus sampe jual diri utk bayar kuliah. Temen saya pengen banget jadi dokter, tapi menurut dia saatnya dia menjadi seorang ibu. Ada hal-hal yang menurut kami lebih penting, tapi kami masih berusaha menjalaninya sekaligus meraih gelar dokter kami. Belum lagi kebuntuan yang rasanya menghimpit, tekanan dari lingkungan keluarga dan kampus, itu yang para senior rasakan. Kami berjuang menghadapi itu semua, dan akan terus berjuang sampai kami meraih gelar kami. Kalau bisa kami pun pengen selesai cepat, ngapain lama2 dikampus?

Sadly, waktu awal-awal saya masuk FK saya pun salah satu yang beranggapan seperti di atas. Saya rasa semua anak baru, hijau, junior etc (dan yang naïf, ga pernah berdiri dengan kaki sendiri) pasti berpikir seperti itu. I personally don’t think it’s our real nature, it’s merely how FK brainwashed us to think that way. Calon dokter yang baik adalah yang pintar, yang lulus tepat waktu, yang ga neko-neko. Diluar itu? Ke laut aja….

Saya ingat saya dianggap aneh karena sibuk bertandang ke kampus A, padahal justru para anak2 ekonomi (beserta as-dos akutansi) yang membantu saya memahami pelajaran statistic dan membuat saya mampu mendapatkan nilai B, tanpa belajar sedikitpun. FK mengajari saya healing the body of a human, tapi tidak mengajari saya healing the soul. Bila FK sanggup mengajarkan betapa berharganya jiwa manusia, saya ataupun anak FK lainnya tidak akan berpikir segitu buruknya terhadap sesama.

Lupa ya prinsipnya palliative care?
1. To cure sometimes
2. To relieve often
3. To comfort always
Ini juga applicable banget sama manusia. Terkadang si sakit akan lebih cepat sembuh bukan karena obat yang begitu tepat sasaran (there’s no such thing anyway, human body are to random!), tapi karena dokternya care terhadap mereka. Bukan sekedar si sakit, tapi seorang manusia yang punya nama, punya jiwa, punya harga diri. Jadi kenapa kita masih ga care ma sesama dan end-up bitching and badmouthing others? You wanna be a doctor, so are we!

Untuk anonym, life is hard and unfair dude, but we’re still tryin’. If you still think you’re super, I wanna see you walk in our shoes. And when you do, I’m gonna laugh my a$$ off cause I bet you ain’t gonna make it.

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

-attributed to the theologian Reinhold Niebuhr-

It is human nature to fight and try their best to get what they want. That is why we human are still considered as the most superior being on Earth. Nevertheless, it is also a human nature to choose something less hazardous and less troublesome (in other word, to flight) for their convenience, and that explains why we are still indeed Earth-bound.

When to fight and when to flight? This is truly an age-old question. Walter Cannon in 1915 states that animals (can also be referred as "human") react to threats with a general discharge of the sympathetic nervous system, priming the animal (again, can also be referred as "human") for fighting or fleeing.
The system has been properly explained, yet the question remains: when to fight and when to flight?

- If someone is doing you injustice,will you defend your self or just ignore it?
- If someone speak ill of you, will you make try to them suffer or just ignore it?
- If someone mistreated your loved ones, will you stand up and fight or just ignore it?
These are only very few of the fight-or-flight situation that we experience everyday. Logical (and aggressive) thinker would definitely do the first one, they'll fight. I mean, the second choice is for door mat, and we are NOT door mat! Or at least that's how I perceive things. But is it the right thing to do?

These situation (and many others like them) have one similar thread, they all correlates with other people. My very best friend and I had been in the situation, and he did exactly the opposite. He simply ignore it. Of course, ignoring is definitely belittling of what he actually did. He ignore the injustice but secretly take me away where they can't hurt me anymore. He ignore the ill-words because he believe I am not like that. He ignore the ill-treatment but again take me away, sheltered me and assure me that i am worthy instead of worthless. And he did all that relatively clean and healthy while I'm still tattered and broken, because you see, I lost the war. The lesson? Human can not be change, unless they want to be changed. And it is completely useless to forcing on changing (read:fight) something that's unchangeable.

It took me years to understand this prayer, and even more to do it (I'm still having difficulties). It is harder to let go and accept that we can not change things (a.k.a flight mode), than to simply bonk my head and try to change things (a.k.a fight mode). But you know what, that's just how the world is. A very dear and wise friend once ask me, do I know why we train ourselves to do martial art. I said to protect ourselves, to fight. He merely smiled and said that actually it is to surrender and accept things. He said we need to be strong, so we can try our best in life regardless the result, because only after we try our best that we can accept things. As I explain, it took far greater strength to humble ourselves and accept things than to fight with brute force.

Problems in life come and go, as sure as the high tide and low tide of the ocean. So many people advise others on what to do for their problems. I, being an ordinary human, am one of the advice givers and also the recipient. But sometimes, no matter how well the advice given or how hard the recipient try to do the advice, the problem will not change, if the people correlates with the problem do not wish to change, or the condition not enabling things to be changed. if that happens, the best thing that you can do is to put your hands together, and pray: God, give me strength to accept this.

Acceptance is never a defeat. Adaptation will come with acceptance, and the problems will matter no more once you adapt to it. Get up to your feet and fight bravely for what you think is necessary, for things that are dear and important for your. And when you know it can not be change, when you realize that you cannot win the war, flight to your camp and accept it with smile on your face. The proud yet humble acceptance makes you the real winner. The age old question answered at last. But it can not be answered without sincerely reciting the last part of the prayer, for God to grant us the Wisdom to know the difference.

For every ailment under the sun
There is a remedy, or there is none;
If there be one, try to find it;
If there be none, never mind it.

-The philosopher W.W. Bartley -

My City

my city is a palace of lights
bustlin and hustlin day and night
the brightness of sun on glass window of tall buildings
the shining lights of billboard and building alike
it's a palace of light, a wonderland

and you will never be lonely
ever!
the cold morning is greeted with the office madness
and the chilly night is accentuated with the sounds of people

And the Heights, oh my God, The Heights!
Running accross a tall pedestrian bridge
Taking a glimpse of traffic below from your office window
standing in top of the tall campus building
breathing the air, enjoying the freedom

and it's such a beautiful place to say thank you
Thank God I still got a seat on the bus
Thank God I can give my seat to that grandma
Thank God the bus is not that full
(the bus did get REALLY full) But THX GOD I'm home!!!

and you'll enjoy the drama
the queerness of people
the kindness of people
the stupidity of people
prepare yourself to laugh,
cause you'll be laughing yourself next
and that's the beauty of it!

You'll always find someone next to you
someone near you
and there simply no quieter place to be,
no other place most suitable to speak to yourself
than in the midst of strangers

Open your eyes and so many stretched hands are there,
helping you, guiding you, comforting you
a door to knock whenever you felt like crying
a room to barge whenever you felt like partying
just like a big shoe store,
you'll definitely find the pair you need

Some would say my city is Harsh,
Some would say my city is Cruel,
Some would say my city is Intolerable,
but it's my City....

No matter how beautiful the full moon on sandy beach is
No matter how pleasant it is to swim freely
No matter how exciting and fun my work is
I'll be coming home
to where my friends are
to where my heart is
to my City
