To be classified as

Kemaren ini gw pergi ke Vday celebration 2006. Permias bikin kaya Vday Cafe gitu. Well, they really did a great job on the decor. Well emank agak terlalu redup sih, tapi dat room was definitely different.

Pas masuk, bayar fee-nya dan ditanyain,"Elka, eloe single ga?", kinda confused sih, mo jawab apa. Soalnya kayanya jarang deh yang tiba2 tanya gitu. Well emank sih nothing personal from the person who asked, just for the sake of the program, tapi gw mikir2 lagi...

Lucu juga ya, classifying someone as single or taken. Some people are classified by their ages (below 18, 18-21, 21-30, dst...), sometimes by their races, sometimes by their earnings (below sekian, sekian sampe sekian, above sekian), etc. Kali ini 'check box'nya cuma 2, single or taken. Which box did I decide to belong to?

Gw akhirnya jawab,"you can consider me as unavailable." Cara ini berlangsung amat lancar hingga seseorang mengatakan informasi yang berbeda mengenai status gw (*ngelirik you know whom...* Gpp koq. U told the absolute truth). Selaen gw ga tau kalo gw bilang single bakal diapain, I just feel I don't wanna be classified as available. Bukannya pathetically trying to pretend to be taken, but if I say I'm available, I'm not honest, too. For I still don't know how long, I consider myself as unavailable but single. I like it this way.

I wanna say a huge thank's to my siz, Amanda. Waktu Sylvia ngajakin orang yang single dari tiap table buat play a game, (and she asked me to play along, btw), though she knows exactly what my status really is, dia bilang "Di sini (meja ini) ga ada yang single." Though I know some people kinda bingung dengernya, but I guess my very dear sister (and brother, if I was not mistaken. Correct me if I am wrong, Man) understood my expression very well. Well, they have some background informations. That was very very very nice. I respect where she decided to stand that time. They (my crazy siz and bro), though sometimes it's hard, really got me that very moment.

Again, I know this is kinda hard to understand unless you got something like mine. Nothing is particularly special if you weren't me.

Anyways, I wish they had a box labelled 'single but unavailable' somewhere in the society...


P.S :
