Vive la difference!
Sambil mengutip dari buku-buku, akhirnya saya menulis tentang ini terinspirasi oleh sedikit "keluhan" seorang teman beberapa waktu lalu.
Pada umumnya cewe bekerja pada tingkat metabolisme yang lebih rendah daripada cowo. Menurut saya, cukup penting untuk mengerti keunikan antara cowo dan cewe jika berharap untuk hidup selaras. Kitab Kejadian mengatakan bahwa Allah menjadikan dua jenis kelamin, dan Dia menciptakan dengan tujuan tertentu. Cowo dan cewe diciptakan untuk saling ‘melengkapi’, tak hanya dalam konteks seksual, tetapi dalam hal kejiwaan juga.
Ada baiknya jika melihat artikel Dr. Paul Popenoe tentang perbedaan-perbedaan antara cowo dan cewe yang berjudul “Apakah Memang Wanita Itu Berbeda?”
Salah satu dari bagian yang sulit diterima di dalam gerakan kebebasan cewe dan gerakan serupa adalah usaha yang mencoba memperkecil perbedaan antara cowo dan cewe. Sanggahan utama dalam debat mereka adalah bahwa perbedaan-perbedaan antara kedua jenis kelamin ini terjadi karena perbedaan dalam pendidikan dan latihan, oleh karena itu bukan merupakan perbedaan yang dasar. Tapi pada kenyataannya kedua jenis kelamin berbeda dalam hal yang sama sekali tidak berubah, yaitu anatomi tubuh dan fisiologi. Ambil contoh, berdasarkan penelitian, kedalaman dan intensitas naluri dan perasaan keibuan dari seorang cewe berhubungan erat dengan lamanya periode haid dan banyaknya darah yang keluar pada saat haid (jelas bukan sekadar perbedaan dari hasil latihan)
Berikut beberapa perbedaan biologis antara cewe dan cowo yang penting dalam kehidupan sehari-hari dan pasti bukan hasil dari perbedaan latihan :
1. Cowo dan cewe berbeda dalam setiap sel tubuhnya. Perbedaan dalam kombinasi kromosom adalah penyebab utama dari munculnya sidat kelaki-lakian maupun kecewean.
2. Cewe mempunyai vitalitas hidup yang lebih kuat. Di AS, hidup cewe 3-4 tahun lebih panjang dari cowo.
3. Metabolisme dasar cewe pada umumnya lebih rendah dari cowo.
4. Dalam hal struktur tubuh, cewe memiliki kepala yang lebih pendeng, wajah yang lebih lebar, dagu kurang menonjol, kaki yang lebih pendek, dan tubuh yang lebih panjang. Gigi cowo lebih awet dari cewe.
5. Cewe memiliki perut, sepasang ginjal, hati, usus buntu yang lebih besar. Akan tetapi, paru-parunya lebih kecil dibandingkan cowo.
6. Dalam beberapa fungsi,, cewe memiliki beberapa hal yang tidak dimiliki cowo : haid, kehamilan, dan menyusui. Cewe punya lebih banyak hormon yang berbeda. Kelenjar yang sama bekerja dalam cara yang berbeda dalam cowo dan cewe. Cewe kebih mudah tertawa dan menangis.
7. Darah cewe mengandung lebih banyak air, ini berhubungan dengan supply oksigen di dalam sel tubuh. Cewe akan lebih mudah capai, bahkan cenderung jatuh pingsan.
8. Dalam hal tenaga kasar, cowo punya tenaga 50% lebih banyak dari cewe.
9. Perbandingan kemampuan energi /daya tahan nafas antara cewe dan cowo adalah 7:10
10. Cewe lebih tahan suhu yang panas.
Sebagai tambahan atas perbedaan fisiologi, kedua jenis kelamin diberkati oleh sejumah besar ciri-ciri yang emosional dan unik. Secara singkat bisa dikatakan bahwa kasih sayang ada hubungannya dengan harga diri cewe. Bagi cowo, pengalaman romantis bersama pasangannya sangat menyenangkan dan penuh kenangan, tetapi bukan suatu keharusan. bagi cewe, peristiwa itu adalah segala-galanya.
Rasa percaya diri dan semangat hidupnya berhubungan langsung dengan saat-saat lembut di mana ia merasa sungguh-sungguh dicintai dan dihargai oleh pasangannya. Itu sebabnya bunga lebih berarti bagi cewe daripada cowo. Inilah alasan kenapa peringatan tanggal-tanggal penting tidak pernah dilupakan cewe. Di sisi lain, itu juga sebabnya cowo sebaiknya jangan melupakan hal ini.
Keunikan masing-masing inilah yang memberikan kesegaran dan vitalitas dalam menjalin hubungan. Ia menciptakan seorang wanita dan memberikannya kepada Adam. Ia memberikan lebih banyak kekerasan hati dan sifat agresif kepada cowo dan lebih banyak kelembutan dan naluri untuk merawat kepada cewe, dan semuanya cocok untuk kebutuhan masing-masing dan saling melengkapi!

bureauCRAZY
JUMAT, 2 JULI 2010
Setelah sekitar 3 tahun lalu menjadi bola pingpong karena urusan sistem administrasi sebuah univ negeri terkenal di bdg, sekarang giliran yang swasta..
Just FYI,,, inilah birokrasi ( di indonesia)…
Hari itu saya dikejutkan lagi oleh hal, yang menurut saya sama sekali ngga penting dan ngga logis. Jam 8-an saya dibangunin oleh ayah dengan suara yang sedikit bingung. Dengan ngantuk2 setelah begadang sebelumnya, saya tanya ke ayah saya, dia jawab, “Kampus nelpon, katanya kamu harus ujian jam 9!”
What??
Kurang lebih 1 bulan yang lalu, awal-awal bulan Juni, setelah bebas dari urusan2 perskripsian, saya persiapkan diri untuk melanjutkan sekolah dengan almamater sama. Hal yang sedikit menarik perhatian tertulis bahwa pendaftar dengan IPK >3.00 tidak perlu ikut tes. Melihat kesempatan itu saya coba untuk mendaftar.
Setelah datang pertama kali untuk beli formulir, saya datang lagi tanggal 14 Juni 2010 untuk mengembalikan formulir pendaftaran sekaligus berkas-berkas pendukung yang mereka minta termasuk bukti pembayaran. Datang ke loket TU 2, saya keluarkan file-filenya dan saya berikan untuk diperiksa orang administrasi. Tampak santai tapi serius. Tidak ada pertanyaan dari dia, maka saya sedikit tanya jawab tentang ‘prosedur’ yang dilakukan di sini dan harus memasukkan dua berkas lagi, transkrip nilai terakhir dan bukti kelulusan.
Nyatanya, menurut pihak administrasi, berkas itu tidak bisa dikeluarkan sebelum tanggal 25. Dengan alasan itu saya datang lagi ke TU 2 untuk memberitahu bahwa dua berkas itu akan disusulkan setelah tanggal 25. Dengan persetujuan orang itu, saya akan menyusulkan beberapa hari kemudian. Saat itu, saya mulai sadar ada sesuatu yang ngaco di sistem mereka. Dia bilang bahwa peserta tanpa tes (artinya dengan IPK diatas 3) tidak perlu membayar uang X (bukti pembayaran yang saya sertakan sebelumnya) karena pembayaran sejumlah uang itu untuk tesnya. *DHUENNNG!!* Kenapa ngga dibilangin sejak awal ke gw??? Padahal dari awal gw udah bilang mau daftar dengan IPK >3, apa gw mau ngebohong??? Kemudian dia melanjutkan bahwa uangnya dialihkan saja untuk pembayaran sks. Okelah kalo begitu. Sama saja.
Tanggal 28 Juni, saya kembali untuk mengantar berkas yang belum, transkrip nilai dan ijazah sementara (keduanya belum ditandatangani orang berwenang) karena statusnya yang masih sementara (diberikan dahulu hanya untuk dicek mahasiswa bila ada kesalahan pengetikan.)
Tak lama kemudian saya dilayani oleh orang yang berbeda. Saat ia periksa, ia bertanya tentang berkas yang kosong tak bertandatangan, maka saya jelaskan alasan di atas karena brkas aslinya memang baru dikeluarkan pada tanggal 24 Juli saat wisuda (jawaban yang sama yang diberikan TU 1 kepada saya). Tanpa ba-bi-bu dan sedikit anggukan kepala dari dia, saya simpulkan dari bahasa tubuhnya bahwa ia berkata, “Iya, oke”. Meyakinkan diri saya bahwa urusannya udah selesai.
Sampai akhirnya datang telepon pada tanggal 2 Juli pagi (hari H tes masuk). Orang di sana mengatakan bahwa berkas yang saya masukkan tidak sah karena berlum ada persetujuan (tandatangan pejabatnya). *DHUEEENNNGG* Tidak sah karena belum ditandatangan??? Yang benar saja, emangnya transkrip nilainya palsu, saya yang buat sendiri, sampai tidak dipercaya?? Transkrip dibuat oleh pihak TU 1 yang saya yakin sudah diperiksa berkali-kali kebenarannya. Nama lengkap, IPK, nilai2, sampai judul skripsi yang saya buat dicantumkan disitu.
Saya terangkan kepadanya sedikit kronologis bahwa tidak ada PEMBERITAHUAN sebelumnya kepada saya untuk mengurus tandatangan ini. Dia bisa beralasan ada SATU anak dari jurusan lain yang mengurus itu. Saya balas, kalau ia saja diberitahu, lalu kenapa saya tidak diberi tahu untuk mengurus tandatangan itu??Sangat logis… Saya yang masih ngantuk mencoba berpikir selogis dan sejernih mungkin, bagaimana bisa terjadi? Saya mengikuti semua prosedur yang dia minta dan memasukkan berkas yang dia minta juga, sekarang saya ditembak tiba-tiba. Kesimpulan perbincangan *tidak berguna itu* adalah, saya harus dapatkan tandatangan untuk persetujuan transkrip nilai yang lebih “SAH” dan tidak perlu ikut ujian atau tidak memasukkan dan saya harus ikut ujian.
Singkat cerita (walau masih panjang benernya), saya urus ke TU 1 untuk minta tandatangan pejabat di transkrip nilai. Menceritakan secara singkat kronologis yang terjadi, saya sangat berterima kasih kepada Bu CS atas pengertiannya. Di sela-sela kesibukkannya (saat itu mau berangkat ke Jkt) bersedia ‘diganggu’ untuk urusan yang tidak penting (dan sejujurnya malah menyalahi aturan : berkas tertandatangan baru dikeluarkan saat wisuda). Orang TU 2 saya yakin tahu hal itu. Akhirnya, dengan bantuan beliau saya pastikan saya tidak perlu mengikuti ujian hari itu. Saya bawa berkas yang sah!
Belum sampai di situ, petugas (yang ternyata berbeda lagi dengan pertemuan sebelumnya) itu bilang lagi bahwa uang yang sudah terbayarkan tidak bisa dikembalikan. Saya balik tanya lagi, tentang pernyataan orang TU situ sebelumnya yang mengatakan bahwa uangnya bisa dialihkan, ternyata TIDAK BISA juga dengan alasan duitnya sudah dikirim bla bla bla (saya tidak terlalu memperhatikan lagi apa yang dia omongin). Ia malah menyarankan untuk ikut tes B. Inggris (siapa tahu toefl nya > 500 bisa buat “sertifikasi” saat hendak tesis nanti) hari itu jam 14.00 supaya uangnya tidak sia-sia.
*DHUEEENNG* Buset dah, saya mengurus SURAT SAH ini supaya saya tidak perlu ikut tes!! Makin ngga logis aja. Saya relakan uangnya mau dikembalikan silakan, tidak juga tidak apa!
Tanpa bermaksud mencela almamater, saya justru menemukan keburukan sistem di sini yang perlu diperbaiki.
Ketika saya mendaftar sampai mengembalikan berkas bahkan menyusulkan berkas yang tertinggal, tidak ada peringatan atau pemberitahuan yang dijelaskan sebelumnya. Tidak ada ceklist kerjaan dari dianya atau semacam Flow of Actnya. Misal ketika ada pendaftar dengan IP>3, maka seharusnya dia katakan kepada saya sejak awal berkas-berkas apa saja yang perlu saya isi dan apa2 saja yang tidak perlu saya bayar. Baru saya tahu ketika hal itu sudah terlambat dan ketika hal itu terlambat, ada baiknya untuk bilang saja yang tepat sejak awal bahwa uangnya tidak bisa dikembalikan ATAU dialihkan. Tidak susah dan jangan mempersulit diri sendiri lah dengan hal-hal yang ngga penting.
Bahkan ketika saya memasukkan berkas susulan tanggal 28 Juni, ada waktu sekitar 4 hari untuk memberitahu saya tentang pengeSAHan dengan tandatangan. Akan tetapi, ternyata saya baru diberitahu H-1 JAM. Sangat sangat tidak masuk akal.
Dari yang saya tahu, sistem di SMP atau di SMA saja melakukan ceklist apa yang perlu dan tidak dilakukan buat siswanya, ini sistem tingkat universitas??? Are you kidding me?
Praise the Lord buat ujian karakternya… Luar biasa nano-nano…

It Pays to Relax
Jika Anda menikmati waktu yang Anda buang, berarti Anda tidak sedang mebuang-buang waktu.
Setiap kali seseorang bangun tidur, ia bersiap untuk menghadapi pekerjaan dan hal-hal yang akan dilakukan sepanjang hari itu. Tapi, ternyata tidak semua hal yang akan dikerjakan itu punya tingkat kepentingan yang sama. Satu hal punya prioritas yang lebih tinggi daripada yang lain. Ada pekerjaan yang menuntut perhatian lebih untuk segera diselesaikan dibandingkan pekerjaan lainnya.
Saat mengikuti pelatihan karakter dan kepribadian di kampus, sang pembicara mengumpamakannya dengan sebuah bola pingpong, kerikil besar dan kecil, dan pasir yang harus dimasukkan ke dalam suatu wadah yang cukup kecil. Ketika semua benda itu harus dimasukkan, harus ada perencanaan bagaimana supaya semuanya masuk dan pas di dalam wadah yang kecil. Jadi, benda besar akan masuk lebih dulu karena benda yang kecil, seperti pasir bisa menyesuaikan diri melalui celah-celah yang kecil.
Sama halnya ketika saya harus menghadapi tahun-tahun terakhir kuliah, begitu banyak pekerjaan yang semuanya terlihat penting. Padahal jika diteliti lagi, saya bisa menyusunnya ke dalam beberapa prioritas. Belajar membedakan hal apa yang penting dan genting, penting tapi tidak genting, dan tidak penting dan tidak genting.
Jenuh saat bekerja terlalu lama sudah pasti.. Oleh karena itu, seringkali diselingi sedikit refreshing dengan bermain game. Yaa, tapi seringkali juga bermainnya akan lebih lama daripada bekerjanya. Di situ saya sadar bahwa kesenangan saya hanya membuang-buang waktu. Permainan itu hanya menjadi tempat pelarian sementara yang kelamaan.
Waktu yang ‘hilang’ itu harus segera diganti untuk kembali ke dalam jalur pekerjaan sesungguhnya (mengerjakan tugas-tugas kuliah yang menumpuk). Saya setuju bahwa waktu yang hilang itu tidak hanya harus diganti tetapi harus ditebus lebih. Artinya, ketika saya menghilangkan/menyianyiakan waktu 2 jam, maka saya harus ganti 4 jam, itu baru bisa dikatakan impas.
Jika berani keras terhadap diri sendiri, dunia akan terlihat lunak bagi kita, tetapi jika lunak terhadap diri sendiri, dunia akan menjadi keras bagi kita. Set prioritas dan jangan tunda pekerjaan apa yang bisa dilakukan hari ini. Ketika hal itu datang, saya punya waktu bermain yang jauh lebih banyak dan lebih santai untuk dinikmati.
Get well soon Tasya!

Thoughts On Aging
01) Maybe it's true that life begins at fifty. But everything else starts to wear out, fall out, or spread out.
02) There are three signs of old age. The first is your loss of memory. I forget the other two.
03) You're getting old when you don't care where your spouse goes, just as long as you don't have to go along.
04) Middle age is when work is a lot less fun and fun is a lot more work.
05) Statistics show that at the age of seventy, there are five women to every man. Isn't that a bad time for a guy to get those odds?
06) You know you're getting on in years when the girls at the office start confiding in you.
