Punggek: A lost drop of blood...

The History of Punggek

Many has asked me this question "What is Punggek?" and to be honest, I never gave it a lot of thought.
But i remember my mother told me few years earlier that when I was small, I used to say the word a lot with my sister but the meaning it represent was not a good one. In the olden days, it was a taboo for kids to say bad words and we were brought up in a world where no bad word existed except the word "bad". We weren't even introduced to the word "beat" although we always got a good beating from our parents almost everday. So my mother told me that me and my sister created the word Punggek to fill the 'void' in our already limited volcabularly.

"I punggek you afterward!" is one of the example that would come out from our mean mouths. So the original meaning of Punggek is "beat". However, concerned with our creativity, my mother introduced us the the word "beat" and the word faded as suddenly as we invented it when.
But when i received a 'revelation' during SALT 1 in Brothers Bungalow to rejuvenate the word. Like in Genesis, when God breathed into Adams nostrils the breath of life, the word Punggek started to wake up in a totally different environment. Full of love, the word took another meaning in its second life.

Compassion.

A lost drop of blood...

Dear beloved...

I'm so sorry. I don't even deserve your forgivness.

I did what I think I had to do at that time. Now, your absence finally hit me. I think I just felt your lost now because I had to be strong last time. I ha to be strong for her. In fact its only now that I trully think "Dear God... What have I done?"

This sin I've commit can never be erased. I took everythg away from you.

I tried hard. Very very very hard to forget you. I cant. How can I?

You've always been with me. In me. You are me.

I pray one day. If ever I meet you in the after life. I'll be able to recognize.you and hopefully you'll accept me in your arms.

"J"....
