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

Similar But... Different

Jadi inget saya beli baju di BTC. Saya langsung ngacir ke tempat dimana baju-baju sisa ekspor yang murah meriah tapi sering banget saya nemu yang 'wah!' ato 'O-God-it's-branded!' disana.

Yeah, duit cekak. Tujuan saya kesana doang. Ga punya cukup uang buat ke Ouvalresearch atau Unkl347 soalnya biasa.. tanggal tua >.< (baru liat online catalog di official site-nya Ouval aja udah pusing ngeliatin harganya. Dan juga mabok gara-gara jaket-jaket sama Tees mantep di online catalog unkl347). Saya kesana deh dan baru sampe depannya nemu baju-baju dengan printed cartoon yang baru itu juga saya liat. Dengan label 'Newbie' saya tanya ke shopkeepernya.

"Mas, kalo yang ini berapa ya?"
"Itu 35 rebu. Beli 2 dapet bonus satu dek."

Whoaaaaaaa!! Langsung dah saya borong dua. Saya beli yang warna putih dengan gambar Policeman berambut ungu dan satu lagi warna hijau tua pucet dengan printed kartun engineer-engineer kecil yang lagi nyusun kata 'Newbie'. Nah, satu lagi gimana? Saya kan bingung cari satu laginya yang mana. Akhirnya, saya bongkar-bongkar (buru-buru soalnya udah mau tutup :P) dan nemu baju yang sama kaya yang Policeman, tapi warnanya biru ke abu-abu (mungkin Navy Blue tapi pucet, lebih ke arah Toten Sky). Setelah milih baju yang mana aja langsunglah saya bayar ke kasir.

Sampe di rumah waktunya buka harta karun! Yeehaw, baju baru murah meriah lucu-lucu lagi (entahlah, mungkin karena postur badan saya yang 'chibi' jadi selalu pas kalo pake baju dengan printed animation yang dibilang kawaii). Tapi sebentar, waktu saya coba yang warna putih.. Oh God, ternyata sizenya M! Lagi-lagi berurusan dengan postur tubuh saya yang kalo baju dewasa ambilnya size S (malahan XS) dan baju anak-anak dengan size L (kadang M juga muat T.T), akhirnya kalo pake baju itu serasa mau main basket :P Tapi gapapa deh keren juga ternyata. Hmm.. yang warna hijau sih gapapa, ga ada masalah dengan size. Dan saya coba yang warna abu-abu tua itu. Chotto matte! Ini dia masalahnya. Karena buru-buru, saya ga liat kalo printed-animationnya itu ternyata Policewoman! wtf kenapa saya bisa sampe sekonyol itu sih?!

Ga bisa dibalikkin dan ga akan pernah bisa diterima balik sama tokonya, akhirnya saya terima baju Policewoman itu. Dan guess what, justru sampe sekarang saya suka sama baju itu! Hahahahaha.. Ga peduliin gambarnya sih, toh diliat-liat juga mirip cowo gambarnya (salah sendiri cewenya rambutnya kaya cowo). Terus karena saya orang baik, akhirnya baju yang putih dengan gambar Policeman itu saya kasih ke Ko Joseph, yang emang ternyata mau nerima baju kegedean-di-saya itu. Saya malahan sering bilang gini ke Ko Josh :


"Ntar kalo Jum'at ke sekolah pake baju yang itu ya biar samaan. Kan aku adeknya Ka Josh.."

Sounds unique and a bit weirdoo, karena saya pake baju yang gambarnya Policewoman itu. Yang mungkin lebih pas dipake sama couple-couple. Tapi whatever deh I don't care.. Hahaha selama saya nyaman, kenapa ngga?

So, kalo suatu saat kalian melihat ada anak laki-laki tinggi kulit sawo matang postur atlet basket pake baju warna putih dengan gambar Policeman dan brand 'Newbie' sama anak laki-laki berpostur Chibi pake baju warna abu-abu tua bergambar Policewoman dengan brand 'Newbie' pulang bareng, mungkin kalian ngeliat saya sama Ko Josh :)

아브라카다브라

이러다 미쳐 내가 여리여리 착하던 그런 내가
너 때문에 돌아 내가 독한 나로 변해 내가
널 닮은 인형에다 주문을 또 걸어 내가
그녀와 찢어져 달라고 고
Every night I feel with you
Do you love her do you love her
매일 나의 꿈 속에
Do you love me do you love me

Bring bring 너를 내게 가져다 줘
뭐라도 난 하겠어 더한 것도 하겠어
Bling bling 도는 나의 fantasy yeah
모든걸 걸겠어 널 내가 내가 갖겠어

못참아 더는 내가 이러다가 정신을 놓쳐 내가
도대체 왜 너란 애가 내 마음에 박혀 니가
찢겨진 사진에다 주문을 또 걸어 내가
그녀가 떨어져 달라고 고
Every night I feel with you
Do you love her do you love her
매일 나의 꿈 속에
Do you love me do you love me

Bring bring 너를 내게 가져다 줘
뭐라도 난 하겠어 더한 것도 하겠어
Bling bling 도는 나의 fantasy yeah
모든걸 걸겠어 널 내가 내가 갖겠어

I'm the Boo in the lsland 널 되찾기 위한 plan
매일같이 이렇게 나눌래 널 향한 마지막 step
그녀의 손을 잡고 그녀와 입을 맞추고
그런 너를 상상조차 하기 싫어 이 주문에 염원을 실어

랄랄랄랄랄라 랄랄랄라
랄랄랄랄랄라 랄랄랄라

So Hard to Match The Argumentation..

It's been happening for a couple years. Yeah. I dunno why but as I live in my own world, whereas my Mom keeps working on her jobs and lives in her own world, so simply we get separated. I don't know, so hard to match the argumentation of each of us. So often make a buzz-buzz, or a little quarrel caused by a simple damn thing. So what do you want exactly? I can't always walk on your way. I have my own way, I have my mind and I know what's going on within.

It's a short post for tonight. Hope I'll succeed in telling the point.

Angkot Beringas, Lagi!!

Masih inget sama cerita saya tentang angkot beringas yang pernah saya post sebelumnya kan? Nah akhirnya saya ada bahan lagi. Ceritanya ternyata ga sampe disitu karena Tuhan sudah menakdirkan saya melanjutkan ke season berikutnya (hoalah).

Pagi itu saya (as usual) males ke sekolah pake motor, terlebih waktu ngeliat bensin di CS1 merah saya tinggal dua strip (indikatornya nunjukkin gitu). Rawr, males ah saya kalo harus ngisi bensin dulu. Akhirnya saya putusin pake angkot aja ke sekolah terlebih saat saya sadar duit di dompet tinggal 15 rebu (so pathetic).

Saya nunggu angkot ga terlalu lama, soalnya baru berdiri semenit udah ada angkot lewat. Saya naek deh tuh angkot dan menemukan beberapa spesies di dalemnya. Ada 2 anak SD dan beberapa anak SMP, cowo, yang pada pake batik sekolahnya. Ohya saya inget, kan hari Kartini jadi pada pake batik. Saya juga bawa batik sih di tas >.< dan saya kebagian duduk di seat kanan depan (deket supir). Saya ngeliat interior angkot dan ngerasa sesuatu yang 'familiar'. Serasa "kaya pernah deh" atau "kaya inget sesuatu deh", saya mikir-mikir lagi apa ya yang bikin angkot ini serasa familiar.

Damn, kejebak macet! Tapi si supir keliatan sabar banget. Wiw, kalo dibandingin sama waktu pulang sekolah kemaren edan banget lah tuh supir beringas! Saya sampe jatoh dari tempat duduk saya, ngejungkel pula. Kacau deh, untung yang ada di angkot cuman temen-temen saya doang, itupun dikitan. Tapi yang sekarang ini sabar banget si supirnya. Saya liat-liat lagi dan mulai ngerasain sesuatu yang signifikan. Angkot ini nyetel lagu dengan volume keras. Tepat! Saya liat ada speaker besar di belakang angkot. Semakin kerasa familiarnya, apalagi waktu denger lagunya sama kaya lagu yang dimaenin di angkot yang kemaren saya naekkin pas pulang sekolah!

Oh sh>t! Ternyata emang iya! Supirnya juga sama, dan ada semacam alat pemindai entahlah apa itu di deket pintu supir! Persis banget dan emang iya! Ini angkot yang kemaren saya naekkin! Astaga.. kok bisa saya naek angkot yang sama pas pulang kemaren ya?

Whoaaaaaaaaaaa! Angkot Beringas!

Pulang sekolah, sore itu seperti biasa saya pulang sama Ko Liu dan temen-temennya si koko. Naek angkot seperti biasa soalnya saya ga bawa motor, si Ko Agil juga ga bawa motor. Dan sore itu Ka Joseph ga ikut soalnya pergi sama Gusty ke BEC. Akhirnya kita langsung naek angkot yang emang dari tadi udah nangkrin di depan sekolah.

Pertamanya biasa, lama-lama si sopir angkot mulai kesel gara-gara nungguin si Kanti dan temennya beli makanan. Saya terus bilang, "Sebentar lagi mas, tungguin kasian temen saya". Tapi akhirnya karena kelamaan si Kanti bilang duluan aja. Lantas langsunglah si supir angkot itu bener-bener 'narik' angkotnya! Fast and Furious sama angkot-angkot di depannya! Sinting!! Ngerem ngegas ngerem ngegas seenak jidat! Tapi saya juga ngobrol sama anak-anak di angkot sih jadi ga begitu mikirin itu.

Baru kerasa sinting banget pas sampe di belokkan deket komplek rumah saya. Si mas angkot malahan nancep gas dalem-dalem, sedalam samudra sedalam hatiku (najis tralala!). Udah gitu hampir nabrak angkot lainnya. Si angkot sumpahnya nyelip dan udah hampir nyerempet angkot lainnya juga! Motor juga udah bener-bener sampe ga berani maju gara-gara liat tampang si supirnya yang BERINGAS! Saya udah jatoh dari bangku tapi terus duduk lagi. Anak-anak juga pada komentar yang lumayan pedes. "Bawanya edan!", "Kalem we mas!", dan pas udah mulai deket gerbang saya bilang, "Mas, kiri di gerbang komplek!". Emang masnya kerajinan, mobilnya diberhentiin sebelum gerbang komplek dari kecepatan SUPERDUPERYUMMY! Sontak lah ngeremnya anjrit edan gila wtf wth baka heta kuso nyelekit sampe saya ngejungkel dari bangku. Si Udin udah ketawa aja sama si koko dan si Razie. Saya aja malu jadinya diliatin mereka. Sambil marah-marah juga sih saya bilang, "Ongkosnya di belakang!" soalnya emang udah nitip ongkos ke belakang.

Buset deh tuh angkot sinting. Tapi Thanks God saya masih idup.. Tadinya pas udah mo nabrak angkot lain, saya udah mikir buset deh nih supir angkot ga mikir apa bawa orang.. Untung deh saya selamat. Thanks God, lain kali tunjukkin saya angkot yang lebih waras :)
