Could have, Should have (Picture of You)

Yesterday
I stumbled across
A photograph of
My old (ex?) friend (boyfriend?)

Looks the same
Perhaps a little more mature

Am I assuming that because
Time has flown past since our last goodbye or
Because of the little boy (son? the only one?) on his arms
And the smiling woman (wife? I hope the only one!) next to him

A flurry of memories flew pass
Makes me think of what could have been, what should have been
No regrets
Just curious of
What could have been and
What should have been

My Butt Activates Time Warp

Get out of bed; quickly freshen up
Eat a banana in front of the microwave; glance at the clock
Nine thirty in the morning; wave goodbye to the cats
Walk to the garage; open the car door
My butt touches the car seat and ...............
Suddenly, I am at the workplace

Turn off the engine; get out of the car
Walk across the parking lot; take the elevator up
Scan my badge; glance at the clock
Ten in the morning; say hello to colleagues
My butt touches the lab chair and ................
Suddenly, it is six thirty in the evening

Pack my bag; turn off the computer
Admire the sunset; say goodbye to colleagues
Take the elevator down; walk across the parking lot
Unlock the car door; get in the car
My butt touches the car seat and ................
Suddenly, I am back at home

Hug the cats hello; take a shower
Heat up dinner; glance at the clock
Eight in the evening; give the cats their food
Devour dinner; switch on the TV
My butt touches the couch and ....................
Suddenly, it is past midnight

Turn off the TV; walk up the stairs
Brush my teeth; wash my face
Turn down the covers; fluff the pillows
Kiss the cats goodnight; prepare self for sweet dreams
My butt touches the mattress and ...................
Suddenly, it is eight thirty in the morning once again

Just like watching a DVD; hit the fast forward button
Stand in the kitchen; glance at the calendar
Today is Monday it says; carpe diem seize the day
Uncap a pen; open the planner
My butt touches the chair and ........................
Suddenly, it is Friday again

Mari Kita Menguping (Part III --> Senjata Makan Tuan)

Masih dalam rangka menyambung serial "Mari Kita Menguping"........
(Selama kuping gua masih secaplang kuping si May (huahaha!)....kegiatan menguping jalan terussss.............)

Time: Last Monday
Venue: Same as before (refer to earlier entries of "Mari Kita Menguping")

Kemarin ini gua makan siang barengan beberapa teman kerja.
Mereka ada yang makan mie, ada yang makan nasi, ada yang makan roti.
Lalu salah satu dari mereka nanya ke gua: "Lo lagi makan apa?"
Gua: "Oh, ini sisa dari makan malam.......macaroni + brocolli + ham + cheese....trus dipanggang di oven"
Yang lain: "Yummmmmmmmmm......"

Dan gak tahu kenapa, bisa jadi mungkin gua lagi super stress hari itu.
Dengan cerewetnya gua nyambung (padahal biasanya kalo lunch time gua paling males basa-basi cuap2)
Tapi pada saat itu gua bilang:
"Dari pasta, nasi, mie....gua seneng semua. Pokoknya gua demen banget carbohydrate, kecuali roti. Kalo roti, gua paling GAK DEMEN. Bukan karena sok sehat, bukan karena gak mau makan carbo.....cuman rasanya itu lho....kalo makan burger pun kalo bisa gak pake bun. Seumur hidup gua gak makan roti, it's fine by me! Pokoknya I HATE BREAD!!!!"
Yang lain: "Oooooooooooo.............."

Senin jadi Selasa, dan tiba2 gak tahu gimana........udah Jumat lagi.

Gua lagi makan siang di break room yang kebetulan waktu itu kosong.
Tiba2 temen gua datang, trus langsung parkir di kursi depan gua.
Dan abis itu melototin gua sambil mesem2 gak jelas.
Gua: "What's up?"
Dia: "Is that a sandwich you are eating?"
Gua: "Yes. Want some?"
Dia: "Weren't you eating sandwich yesterday and the day before as well?"
Gua: "Yes. So?"
Dia: "Hahahaha....beberapa hari ini lo makan sandwich??? Yang bener aja!!"
Gua: "What? What? Anything wrong with this?"
Dia: "Siapa yg minggu lalu bilang....I hate bread lah, kalo gak makan roti gak rugi lah.....HAYOOOOOO...."
Gua: ...............(oh iya ya......shitttt.........bukan gua doang yg menguping kalo begitu......)

Saat detik itu pun dari speaker berkumandang......."siapa yang ngaku I hate bread ternyata.................bullllllllshitttttttttttt..........."
