Mon Pays et Paris..

A song by Madeleine Peyroux. This was one of my favorite songs from her. She had an unique vocal style which I couldn't describe it. The song was about two love between Paris and New York (it was written 'Manhattan' so I guessed another city was New York). So jazzy, created a serenity in a lounge or semi-outdoor café. 

But I was in my friends house, in the pool side. I was alone there sitting on a swing, looking to the outstanding landscape of mountain and green green prairie, and listening to this song. A sunny day and calm breeze. Slowly I fell asleep there..

On dit qu'au dela des mers
La-bas sous le ciel clair
Il existe une cite
Au sejour enchante
Et sous les grands arbres noirs
Chaque soir
Vers elle s'en va tout mon espoir

J'ai deux amours
Mon pays et Paris
Par eux toujours
Mon coeur est ravi
Manhattan est belle
Mais a quoi bon le nier
Ce qui m'ensorcelle
C'est Paris, c'est Paris tout entier

Le voir un jour
C'est mon reve joli
J'ai deux amours
Mon pays et Paris

Accidentally Amazing

I was going to northern Bandung with my big big big brothers. Finding a great open space was a good idea for amateur photographer like me LOL. I didn't bring neither digital cameras nor SLR cameras, so I just took some pictures with my phone camera (so pathetic, whereas the landscape was outstanding T.T gotta go there again someday).

Yeah, started taking some pictures. And I thought, I was the one who took it better than my brothers (hahaha), cuz I took it from different angles. Meanwhile, my brothers just took it 'horizontally' or 'vertically' (they used to take it as landscape mode, meanwhile I used to take in potrait mode). Daddy told me that good photographer sometimes used different and unique way in taking pictures, also the angle position in making the picture dramatic. The focus point was also involved in making greater and finer results. So I did what Dad told me as a reference in photography.

So hard to find the best angle for self-taking picture. I couldn't ask my brothers to do that (they were to busy with their ordinary self-taking picture *sorry :P*). I kept trying every angles and finally I got this as the result...

Hmm.. seemed dark, eh? I loved the focus point in this picture. Finally, my Nokia N70 phone camera could do (at least) as good as digital camera does. Natural blur (automatically and I didn't set anything to make it blur) on the shrubs, I didn't edit this picture yet. And, then I went to Picnik.com and edited this picture. Using "Cross Process" and "Focal Blur", I got the result soon...

Whoaaa! Thanks God, finally I got this finer finer and much much finer result than the original one! I applied my signature in the bottom of the picture. And I was so proud of this picture LOL. Sounded exaggerated but it was true. My favorite one. I loved this :)

Picnik in Indonesian :P

Setelah lama saya ga buka Picnik, akhirnya kemaren ini saya buka lagi buat ngedit foto (males ngedit lewat Corel haha). Hmm, ada yang beda..

Picnik in Indonesian! Saya baru sadar bahasanya jadi bahasa Indonesia. Jadi lucu, apalagi hampir semuanya diterjemahin ke bahasa Indonesia (sampe nama-nama efeknya juga!). Seperti biasa kalo kita masuk ke Picnik buat ngedit foto, di halaman awal kita disuguhin link button ke menu editor utama (nantinya ada pilihan kolase, dan lain-lain). Nah pas lagi loading itu, biasanya (dulu dalam English) ada tulisan (mungkin kalau di The Sims kaya Loading bla bla bla, Reticulating Splines, Characterizing bla bla bla..). Nah sekarang tulisan 'hiburan' itu diterjemahin ke bahasa Indonesia. Saya suka senyum lucu kalo ngeliat tulisan-tulisan itu.

"Memetik Blackberry.."

"Mewarnai bunga-bunga.."

"Memakai penyangga matahari.."

"Bekal makanan.."

"Mencuri .................... "

Masih banyak lagi deh tulisan-tulisan lucu yang ada. Saya ga pada hapal. Entahlah, sekarang ini banyak ya mulai nasionalisasi situs-situs. Mungkin berdasarkan server yang dipake bisa tau kalo kita ini di Indonesia jadi secara otomatis si situs ubah bahasanya ke Indonesia. Ckckckck.. unik.

Light of My Life

Yesterday, I forgot you

Yesterday, I didn't remember you

But you kept smiling at me, what a sacred love

And from now on until the end of the life

So please don't leave me

Stay close to me, you're my everything

Rap :

The repentance never comes at first, when the eye of the words and feelings are totally useless

Reminds me of a moment when I forgot

Forgot the love that was here in my heart

I was impressed by another different girl

Amazed by another different shining ray

A girl who wasn't loyal yet

The light that wouldn't glow for longer

Unlike your light, you're my admired girl

So shame to admit my mistakes on you

Honestly this heart cannot be honest, I've prepared all the times just to be together with you

In a moment when I can't replace it with my heart

The love you've given is irreplaceable, just this word strings of sorry

You're light of my life

Yesterday, I forgot you

Yesterday, I didn't remember you

But you kept smiling at me, what a sacred love

And from now on until the end of the life

So please don't leave me

Stay close to me, you're my everything

Rap :

I'm a hateful man, when I hurt a girl I love

She gives me a heart I give her back a lie

She gives me a love I give her back a hurt

I was impressed by another different girl

Amazed by another different shining ray

A girl who wasn't loyal yet

The light that wouldn't glow for longer

Unlike your light, you're my admired girl

So shame to admit my mistakes on you

Honestly this heart cannot be honest, I've prepared all the times just to be together with you

In a moment when I can't replace it with my heart

The love you've given is irreplaceable, just this word strings of sorry

You're light of my life

Yesterday, I forgot you

Yesterday, I didn't remember you

But you kept smiling at me, what a sacred love

And from now on until the end of the life

So please don't leave me

Stay close to me, you're my everything
