Feminism

This is what do people called ‘jodoh’

diawali dengan niat ngisi waktu, pulang ngantor, ke tempat yang jarang gwe kunjungi pada after office hour..

secara kampanye sale gede2an lagi booming di semua mall di jakarta. hajatannya jakarta.

masuk ke satu gerai khusus sepatu dan tas yang lumayan ok

ga berharap banyak untuk bisa nemuin sesuatu yang bisa dibawa pulang..sampe akhirnya gwe tertarik dengan jejeran sepatu2 cantik yang seakan2 memanggil2 gwe untuk mengambil salah satu diantaranya (ugh!! ilusi yang paling sering terjadi ketika di mall)

berawal dari nyoba pump shoes coklat yang ternyata ga ada ukuran bwat gwe.hihihi..maklum..gwe agak2 boros untuk ukuran kaki :p

tapi lega juga sie, karena ga gitu sreg dengan model pump. gwe berasa jadi bantet kalo pake model sepatu bulet depannya itu.

beralih ke tas..tapi aihh..aihh..ga deh, modelnya ga gitu sreg.

kembali lagi ngiterin jejeran sepatu dan ahh…gwe langsung jatuh hati dengan wedges putih berpita merah dengan tali di bagian belakang. lucu banget niey, secara gwe belum punya sepatu dengan aksen merah. dan coba..coba..yah!! pas banget!! no.39. ketika gwe minta diambilin yang baru..walah..ternyata..yang gwe coba itu adalah satu2 nya yang tersisa untuk model itu.

GOD!! gwe langsung senyum kegirangan, dalam hati jingkrak2… gimana ngga? harganya miring abis, 40% aja dulu diskonnya. model ok, ukuran pas..kurang apa lagi..yak! bungkus!!

inilah yang dinamakan jodoh, ga lari kemana dan ga bakal ngilang juga..ga dicari, dateng sendiri..hehehe ga juga sie, maksudnya ga butuh proses pencarian yang aneh2. it came to me with its own way..hahahah!!!

dan today, dengan riangnya gwe pake wedges baru ini, meski komentar awal yang gwe denger di pagi hari kurang enak, tapi ternyata banyak yang mendukung dan bilang ini wedges lucu..hihihi. bangkitlah semangat ku

cheers

God took the strength of a mountain

the majesty of a tree the warmth of a summer sun

the calm of a quiet sea the generous soul of a nature

the comforting arm of night the wisdom of

the ages the poser of the eagle’s flight

the joy of a morning in spring the faith of a mustard seed

the patience of eternity

the depth of a family need

then God combined these qualities

when there was nuthin more to add

He knew his masterpiece was complete

and so, He called it…dad

malam minggu kemarin, gwe ga sengaja nonton film Indonesia yang beberapa waktu lalu sempat di puter di bioskop

butterfly, thats the title

waktu film ini beredar, gwe ga minat untuk nonton, secara gwe berasumsi dari covernya..ya paling cinta2an anak abege kaya biasa.basi.males.

but then asumsi gwe ini gwe ubah setelah gwe nonton filmnya yang menurut gwe lumayan bagus. ga seperti dugaan gwe (see? thats why wiseman said dont judge a book by it cover!)

bwat yang udah nonton mungkin bakal jadi basi aja blogs gwe ini, tapi bwat yang belum..just wanna share the insight of the movie yang menurut gwe worthed bwat di share

ceritanya tentang 3 orang yang bersahabat (damn, i forgot their name) 2 orang perempuan, 1 orang laki2. satu perempuan sifatnya tomboi abis, dan yang satunya lagi mellow and vulnerable. sementara si laki2..ya standard, no special character.

dengan latar belakang keluarga yang kurang harmonis, ditambah penyakit yang cukup parah, si vulnerable jadi bener2 depend on si tomboi. dan yang gwe suka dari film ini adalah bagaimana di kisahkan tiga orang ini saling sayang dan back up as a bestfriend dengan cara yang unik. ga perlu mellow dan banyak kata2 indah terurai, tapi sikap udah mewakili segalanya. lebih bahkan (and i learn so much)

salah satu scene yang bagus menurut gwe adalah ketika untuk yang kesekian kalinya, si vulnerable ini harus ngeliat pertengkaran ortunya dan terpaksa nangis di toilet kampus. sementara si tomboi lari tergopoh2 bawain pembalut untuk si vulnerable dan nunggu di depan pintu toilet dengan sabarnya, sampai si tomboi sadar bahwa ada suara tangis dibalik pintu toilet itu. yang ga lain datang dari si vulnerable

‘heh, elo ngapain sie lama banget didalam? belum kelar emangnya?’

‘hikes…’

‘elo nangis ya? kenapa lagi sie des? (let say thats vulnerable’s real name)?’

‘ortu gwe berantem lagi’

‘lah itu bukannya dah biasa? kenapa musti nangis?’

‘ini udah parah ..’

‘trus?’

‘gwe pengen dipeluk..’

‘lah, gimana gwe bisa meluk elo, kalo elonya didalem..dah buruan keluar..’

sesaat desi keluar dan langsung berpelukan lah 2 orang itu, tumpah ruah nangisnya..hmm..simple sie, tapi gwe suka cara penggambaran komunikasi antara 2 orang sahabat itu. dengan gaya cueknya si tomboi tetep dapet soulnya sahabat

trus ada satu scene lagi yang bagus, adalah waktu fano (tokoh si cowo) itu mendeskripsikan 2 orang sahabat cewenya dalam monologue

‘gwe punya 2 kupu2. yang satu kuat dan keras, yang satu lagi lemah dan rapuh. tapi keduanya gwe sayang, dengan kekerasan dan kerapuhannya masing2.. dua kupu2 gwe ini ada dalam hidup gwe, ngasih gwe makna tentang bagaimana gwe harus menghargai orang lain dengan segala susah senangnya’

ya insight yang gwe dapet sie tetep tentang persahabatan. dimana elo akan selalu butuh seorang sahabat bwat nemenin elo kemanapun elo pergi. dekat atau jauh, susah dan senang, semua bermakna dengan sahabat di samping loe.

cheers

aku selalu rindu langitku

saat pagi hari, langitku menghampar biru

cerah menaungi semua mahluk

mengawali hari dengan segarnya

aku selalu tersenyum memandang langit pagi ku

bersama matahari yang hangat

menyapa memberiku semangat

aku selalu rindu langit ku

meski terik siang hari menyengat

terang benderang membakar ubun-ubun kepalaku

memberiku energi meski peluh mengalir

aku tak pernah melewatkan siangku tanpa memandang langit terangku

aku selalu rindu langitku

kala sore menjelang

temaniku menyeka peluh dan redam panasnya siang

memberiku ketenangan dalam kesederhanaan

tak pernah tersia-sia meski sedetik

mengantar sang penguasa terik tuk menerangi belahan bumi yang lainnya

hingga jingga itu menyemburat sempurna, dan ku kan berpulang

aku selalu rindu langitku

dalam temaram cahaya sabit atau purnama

menebarkan pesona bintang tanpa kelam

tenang dan lembut

menyelimuti mahluk-mahluk yang kelelahan

mengantarku ke peraduan

meski kadang aku enggan melepas pandanganku darimu

aku ingin terus memandangi lembutnya langitku

langit luas tanpa batas

benyanyi dalam sunyi

mengharum dalam senyap

ku endapkan semua asa ku yang tersisa

lalu aku titipkan di megahnya hamparan mu

ku ijinkan kau membawanya

sampai esok hari

kembali ku ambil

dalam biru nya langit yang selalu ku rindu

"That’s All"

I can only give you love that lasts forever,
And a promise to be near each time you call.
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone
That’s all,
That’s all…

I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall;
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter’s night
That’s all,
That’s all.

There are those I am sure who have told you,
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you,
And a love time can never destroy.

If you’re wondering what I’m asking in return, dear,
You’ll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it’s me that you’ll adore,
For now and evermore
That’s all,
That’s all.

"Put Your Head On My Shoulder"

Hold me in your arms, baby
Squeeze me oh so tight
Show me that you love me too.

Put your lips next to mine, dear
Won’t you kiss me once, baby
Just a kiss good-night
Maybe you and I will fall in love.

People say that love’s a game
A game you just can’t win.
If there’s a way
I’ll find it some day
And then this fool will rush in.

Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear baby
Words I want to hear tell me
Tell me that you love me too.

Put your head on my shoulder
Whisper in my ear baby
Put your head on my shoulder.

You’ll neer Know

You’ll never know just how much I miss you,
You’ll never know just how much I care.
And if I tried
I still couldn’t hide
My love for you
You ought to know
For haven’t I told you so
A million or more times?

You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my every prayer
If there is some other way
To prove that I love you
I swear I don’t know how
You’ll never know if you don’t know now.

"How Can You Mend A Broken Heart"

I can think of younger days
When living for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
But I was never told about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend a this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again
I can still feel the breeze
That rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
We could never see tomorrow
No one said a word about the sorrow
And how can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
How can you stop the sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?
How can you mend this broken man?
How can a loser ever win?
Please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again

"Lost"

I can’t believe it’s over
I watched the whole thing fall
And I never saw the writing that was on the wall
If I’d only knew
The days were slipping past
That the good things never last
That you were crying

Summer turned to winter
And the snow it turned to rain
And the rain turned into tears upon your face
I hardly recognized the girl you are today
And god I hope it’s not too late
It’s not too late
‘Cause you are not alone
I’m always there with you
And we’ll get lost together
Till the light comes pouring through
‘Cause when you feel like you’re done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you’re not lost
When your worlds crashing down
And you can’t bear the thought
I said, babe, you’re not lost

Life can show no mercy
It can tear your soul apart
It can make you feel like you’ve gone crazy
But you’re not
Things have seem to changed
There’s one thing that’s still the same
In my heart you have remained
And we can fly fly fly away

‘Cause you are not alone
And I am there with you
And we’ll get lost together
Till the light comes pouring through
‘Cause when you feel like you’re done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you’re not lost
When the worlds crashing down
And you can not bear the cross
I said, baby, you’re not lost
I said, baby, you’re not lost
I said, baby, you’re not lost
I said, baby, you’re not lost

"Always On My Mind"

Maybe I didn’t treat you
Quite as good as I should have
Maybe I didn’t love you
Quite as often as I could have
Little things I should have said & done
I just never took the time

But you were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Maybe I didn’t hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And I guess I never told you
I’m so happy that you’re mine
If I made you feel second best
Girl, I’m sorry I was blind

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

Tell me, tell me that your
Sweet love hasn’t died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied
Satisfied

Little things I should have said & done
I just never took the time

You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind

"Try A Little Tenderness"

She may be weary
Women do get weary
Wearing the same shabby dress
And when she’s weary
Try a little tenderness

She may be waiting
Just anticipating
Things she may never possess
And while she’s without them
Try a little tenderness

It’s not just sentimental
She has her grief
And her cares
But a word
Soft and gentle
Makes it easier to bear
So much easier to bear

You won’t regret it
Women don’t forget it
Love’s got a whole
A whole happiness
And it’s all so easy
Just to try a little tenderness

You’ve gotta try
You’ve gotta hold ‘er
You’ve got ta squeeze her
You have to try
You’ve got ta try
And always please her
You won’t regret it
You won’t regret it
Oh
Try a little tender-ness

It’s all about buble

One of the best singers that I ever heard

His specialty at jazz, but for me, the best specialty for romantic song

Listen to the ‘That’s all’ or ‘Put your head on my shoulder’

Hmm…such a very..uhmm…my eyes was sparkling

It’s a great mix of the right music arrangement, good lyrics, and great sound

Result the nice romantic song that will makes you fly to the 7^th sky..

Too much? Not for me..

It’s about how much you care about someone in your life

In any kind of form, you can show your best for them

And it’s great to have that feeling on your life

To show that you care in many ways, many reason, even often I found that you don’t need any reason to care of someone..

It proofs that caring others will make you happy with many unpredictable ways that only God can give you.

These songs become a new friend before sleep at nite

To enjoy the sky..uhm I love the sky

I always love it

The unlimited sky

The sparkling stars

The brightly moon

All the things about the sky and the night

cheers,
