cerita aku dan teman-temanku (yang lucu lucu)

Tadi siang saja jadi bahan cemooh  dua  teman saya, si cantik De dan si lebih cantik lagi Diaz .  yang memang kemampuan kamuflasenya bisa berubah secepat Peter Paker berubah menjadi Spiderman, dari awalnya bermulut manis bisa setajam silet. :D

Pasalnya, saya lagi suka banget sama lagu-lagunya John Mayer terutama Stop this Train. Jujurnya baru ngikutin sebulan ini saja sih setelah membaca ocehan salah satu kolega saya di twitternya (atau di status Facebooknya ya?) yang hobi berat dengerin alunan suara blio. Seenak apa siy musik artist kelahiran 16 Oktober 2007 ini? Lagu pertama yang saya search via goole tertambat di lagu STOP THIS TRain… Jiah..pas banget dengan keadaan pagi hari sekitar jam 7.15 di Stasiun Sudimara, berharap kereta berhenti dan saya bisa masuk tanpa berdesak-desakann.

Sangking kesemsemnya sama gitar Jhon Mayer ini, saya sampai nyari siapa yang bisa main gitar dan memainkan lagu itu untuk saya rekam dan dijadikan ringtone. Hal ini saya tanyakan ke email dimana kedua makhluk gemar berkamuflase ini juga diikutkan.

Mulailah petaka itu datang ….lompat ke media komunukasi maya berikutnya, mereka menyilet hati saya yang sedang kesengsem berat sama pria berinisial JM ini.

blog2PS : yang saya buramkan ngga ikutan dalam konteks, jadi dihapus sajah…:D

Rese kan? padahal saya haqul  yakin kedua makhluk berbeda berat badan secara signifikan ini pasti sama dengan saya dua bulan lalu, ngga tau seperti apa alunan gitar akang John!!!!!!

Dan membaca liriknya saya jadi tambah suka sama lagu ini hehehehhe.

No, I’m not colorblind
I know the world is black and white
Try to keep an open mind
But I just can’t sleep on this tonight

Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can’t take the speed it’s moving in
I know I can’t
But honestly, won’t someone stop this train?

Don’t know how else to say it
Don’t want to see my parents go
One generation’s length away
From fighting life out on my own

Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can’t take the speed it’s moving in
I know I can’t
But honestly, won’t someone stop this train?

So scared of getting older
I’m only good at being young
So I play the numbers game
To find a way to say that life has just begun

Had a talk with my old man
Said “help me understand”
He said “turn sixty-eight
You renegotiate”

“Don’t stop this train
Don’t for a minute change the place you’re in
And don’t think I couldn’t ever understand
I tried my hand
John, honestly we’ll never stop this train”

Once in awhile, when it’s good
It’ll feel like it should
And they’re all still around
And you’re still safe and sound
And you don’t miss a thing
Till you cry when you’re driving away in the dark
Singing

Stop this train
I wanna get off
And go home again
I can’t take the speed it’s moving in
I know I can
Cause now I see I’ll never stop this train

Saya menangkapnya “train” disini adalah kehidupan sendiri yang kita jalanin sehari-hari. Ngga selamanya mulus dan mungkin sering terucap  “duh…kok gini banget sih…” tapi cara paling mudah menghadapi masalah kehidupan ya dengan menyelesaikannya, tidak perlu memaksa kereta berheti…. tidak perlu menunda nunda…setelah masalah satu selesai, pasti ada masalah lain.

Mau denger lagunya…? Stop this train

Dan mau tau, gambar apa yang rusak esensinya karena komen kami eh…mereka…?

night1

Maaf ya bow….? ^_^

anyway, mendengar lagu ini (saat ini) menjadi morning boost saya (selain Nescafe Mochaccino)…

Masalah memang selalu ada, selama kereta api itu berjalan….

PS : eh “double D”….kalo album terbarunya rilis yang ada single Who Says pada beli CD-nya ya…jangan cari bajakan MP3 :P *entar gue pinjem import ke Ipod* ;)

2nd PS : sebenarnya siy saya tau alasan De komen difoto itu…ahak ahak…. :) )

Nope, I don’t do FB on my spare time, I tweet instead…;)

and read….

so, guys…I had finished reading Anne of Green Gables by Lucy M Montgomery

anne gren gablesI found the book (like its tv series) , very entertaining…

Come to my imagination the talk active, relentless student  is around. Like I told you, the book told Anne’s experience during her teen’s life, happy, silly, colorful and the same time. As a bright student, she was granted the scholarship to pursue her further study but far from Green Gables. Unfortunately, Mathew died and Marilla almost lost her sight.  Still, Marilla insist her to accept the scholarship and she’d stay alone.  Ambitious as she is, Anne change her ambition…

now the second book… One year off leaving it all behind by David Elliot  Cohen.

Reviewed in Tamasya Magazine over a year ago, I’ve been one year offsearching this book all over the world (and no, I’m not “lebay”…I mean it). Luckly, I found this book through ebay.com, signed in for Paypall acount and there it was delivered right in front of my door step. New and hard cover book!   It’s a true story conducted 13 years ago, when David Cohen gave up his (material) things and start a family (consist of their 8,7 and 2 year old children) journey zig-zagging  this globe.  From Costarica to Luang Prabang, from the rainy and cold days in European country and week later deal with the heat in Botswana! From the hustle and bustle in Mumbai India to the serene, sandy beach in Australia.

I don’t want this book to end, my heart ponded, waiting for what surprise or obstacle this family might face everytime they arrived in new places. If you do travelling with your children  every now and then, you’ll probably find the similarity between Cohen’s children and yours *just like I did*.

I got some tips to minimize the crankiness whilst travelling. You gotta to know when to laid back but still being cautious. :)

My favorite parts of this book are :

1. When Kara- their almost 9 year old daughter at that time- asked her father, why  an old lady they met in Pinacoteca Nazionale (an art galery in Siena, Italy) seemed upset when she learned that Cohen’s offspring don’t practice Christian religously.  David explain to Kara “People all over the world fight wars just because they don’t worship God in the same way”

“that’s stupid” replied Kara.  And as conclusion David figured…” If could teach my children only one or two basic principles, tolerance would be one of them”

2. At their stop in Luang Prabang, about time to return to their home in California, they visited a cave, a very dark cave. As they walked further, the darker the cave is, so David lit a match to see its surrounding  including find the way out. So he had to be wise, liting his matches  as they were limited. David figured life was like lit a match. To learned that we only have one pack of matches, to understand that we have to be in the best possible place when we light each one. To know that we must make each brief combustion a bright, shining moment that pierces the darkness and illuminates a thousand gods.

PS : What i learned from this book…I just now Khmer Merah (Communist Party in cambodia ) is Khemer Rouge in English , so…what is “rouge ” in Bahasa lndonesia actually? :) Well, Mr Cohen, if you happen to read this entry, we already had “Red” for ” Merah”  :)

2nd PS : bow, bawa buku hardcover buat dibaca di kereta is not a good idea.Ribetttss….*secara kereta suka penuh gitu dhe, berdiri pula*

i don’t know what should I write for the title

We are left stunned and speechless…aren’t we?
Terbayang gempa di bulan puasa lalu yang membuat saya pusing sampai beberapa jam kemudian.
Padahal episentrum dan kedalaman gempat cukup dalam.Tak terbayang kerasnya gempa kali ini, Rabu 30 September 17.16 WIB.
Tayangan di TV, internet, media massa makin menyayat hati ini dan menangis pedih.
What if I were the one under the collapsed building?
Seluruh doa dipanjatkan dan berguman, giliran saya tinggal masalah waktu dan bagaimana.

Well, jika ada yang bertanya tentang sanak saya di kampung, mereka kasih kabar baik-baik saya.Semoga…

Satu hal lagi…
The vice president masih menggelar rapat koordinasi sesaat setelah kejadian,
Even on his’ injury time’, he still do what he is responsible to do!
Compare the former ‘anggota dewan’ in parliement.
That’s what I call man with honor, my hat off goes to you MR JK!
