31 Desember. Mendekati akhir tahun 2009.
Saya tidak tahu harus menulis apa. Namun, secara umum saya berpesan kepada diri saya sendiri (kalau Teman-Teman Pembaca mau mengikuti pesan saya juga tidak apa-apa) supaya:
- lebih banyak introspeksi
- lebih baik di masa yang akan datang
- kurangi mengeluh (kalau dihilangkan sama sekali kayaknya ga mungkin, soalnya manusia itu memang tukang mengeluh)
- lebih sabar
- banyak bersyukur
Yup! Sabar dan syukur adalah kunci utamanya 
Sebagai bonus, dalam catatan akhir tahun ini saya coba tuliskan lirik lagu Seasons yang dinyanyikan oleh Hamasaki Ayumi. Lagu ini pernah populer di Jepang karena –konon– liriknya yang mampu memberi motivasi bagi banyak orang supaya lebih menghargai hidup.

Romaji Lyrics |
English Translation |
|
Kotoshi mo hitotsu kisetsu ga megutte Omoide wa mata tooku natta Aimai datta yume to genjitsu no Kyou kaisen wa koku natta |
This year, another season has passed Memories have become faded The border between my vague dream and reality has become blurred |
|
Sore demo itsuka kimi ni hanashita Yume ni uso wa hitotsu mo nakatta La La-i |
Even so, the dream I once told you of had not a single lie in it La La-i |
|
Kyou ga totemo tanoshii to Asu mo kitto tanoshikute Sonna hibi ga tsuzuiteku Sou omotte ita ano goro |
Today was fun, and tomorrow will surely be fun as well “These days will continue forever,” or so I thought at the time |
|
Kurikaeshiteku mainichi ni sukoshi Monotarinasa wo kanji nagara |
Throughout the endless days I felt as if something was missing |
|
Fushizen na jidai no sei dayo to Sakimawari shite akiramete ita La La-i |
I blamed it on these unnatural times, and just gave up La La-i |
|
Kyou ga totemo kanashikute Asu moshimo naite ite mo Sonna hibi mo atta ne to Waraeru hi ga kuru darou |
Today was very sad, and even if I cry tomorrow, someday the time will come that I can laugh and remember the time we had together |
|
Ikudo meguri meguri yuku Kagiri aru toki no naka ni Bokura wa ima ikite ite Soshite nani wo mitsukeru darou |
How much time must pass by, in this finite existence of ours? We’ll live in the now, and what will we find? |
