Pink Alligator

The Pink Alligator was born in the calm forest of green, but he turned out to be pink. He's so visible that he can't hunt for food easily, so he's always especially hungry. The other animals dislike him and consider his coloration disgusting, almost like he's cursed. So, he started living alone. But then he made a friend. His friend was a bird--but, a bird that was unable to fly. So the bird would stand on the pink alligator's back and practice its flying.

This was the alligator's first friend, and he was very happy. They started going to the river every day, and the little bird would sing while the alligator listened. But again, the alligator couldn't catch food easily because of his color. Pink is such an odd color, his prey in the jungle saw him from far away and had plenty of time to escape. He became so hungry that he was dizzy most of the time. And he accidentally ate the bird one afternoon as it slept in his mouth. Of course, he realized his mistake immediately. He drank swamp water to induce vomiting... but the bird was already dead when he retrieved it. After that, he couldn't bring himself to eat anything.

Since the alligator ate his friend the bird, he cried and cried for a very long time. In fact, he was so sad... that he drowned in his own tears. His tears became a beautiful lake, around which grew beautiful flowers and a tree with delicious fruit. The other animals in the forest came there often to relax, but none of them knew the alligator had created it or that he was gone.

The End.

"Even though the alligator did not find the meaning in his life, the residents of the forest did, They just didn't realize it. Because, the meaning of my life is not something I should not worry about. It's really what others think of my life or what I was able to do for them. So, for me, or you, or anyone, the meaning of our lives is something that we make but don't see. People can't survive without help from others. We all depend on one another"

Find A Resolution To Be My Own Solution

so i watched a movie called 'Up In The Air' yesterday. there was this one scene when jim got cold feet before his wedding, and ryan talked him down. (that ryan was george clooney, not me)

Ryan : If you think about it, your favorite memories, the most important moments in your life... were you alone?
Jim : No, I guess not.
Ryan : Hey, come to think of it, last night, the night before your wedding, when all this shit is swirling around in your head, weren't you guys sleeping in separate bedrooms?
Jim : Yeah, Julie went back to the apartment, and I was just by myself in the honeymoon suite.
Ryan : Kind of lonely, huh?
Jim : Yes, it was pretty lonely.
Ryan : Life's better with company.
Jim : Yeah.

Damn right. now i now why i often feeling down, because i spent too much time alone. by myself. you can't live on your own. eventually you'll need help, or at least someone to talk to. and that's what friends are for right?

"I'll always be there for anyone who needs me. I'll always be a helping hand or a listening ear. Because i know what it feels like to believe that no one cares. I know what it likes to feel alone, suffocated in my own thoughts. I know how just one person can change someone's life. I'm here for anyone that needs me, just to prove that compassion still exists. I'm here for you"

Confession Of A Gombal-holic

ntu : (lagi liat ke langit) "ah ga ada bintang ya"
gue : "ada nih, bintang nya lagi jalan bareng gue"
ntu : "iiihhhh gombal dasar"

oke, entah itu udah yang keberapa puluh kali nya gue dibilang gombal. emang ada yang salah ya kalo gue jadi gombal? menurut gue wajar aja sih. kecuali kalo setiap cewe lewat lo gombalin. se-per-ti. "neng, mahasiswa kedokteran ya?" | "kok tau?" | "soalnya kamu sudah membedah hatiku~". gue ngaku kalo emang gue begitu. kata2 yang keluar dari gue juga bukan yg semacam "neng bapakmu bla bla" itu aja. kadang ada gombal dalam bahasa inggris. "How can i fall asleep when i'm still falling for you?". sedapp

"neng bapaknya bruno mars ya?"
"kok tau bang?"
"karena kamu telah men-grenade kan hatiku~"

kenapa gue jadi seperti ini? awalnya juga gatau kenapa. dimulai kalo ga salah taun lalu, pas gue baru awal-awal kuliah. entah kenapa kemampuan gue jadi lebih mantap. kalo seneng aja gue bisa, apalagi kalo lagi galau? bisa bikin lagu dah mu-ha-ha. nih gombalan gue asli pas gue lagi galau akut

"Goodbye, i will always wish for your happiness, even when i'm not part of it"
