missing another

//October 17, 2010//

Music is called the most universal languages human ever discovered. Through music, people are united. Shakira sings the song Waka-Waka (This Time for Africa), and suddenly the world shakes their hips and cheers to the World Cup. It is pretty obvious to see the power of a song. In 2007, a movie titled Music and Lyrics arrived on the cinema, starring Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore. It’s not a new statement. It’s just a repetition that stated when those two collides, magic is created. Lyrics makes song powerful as music makes lyrics stands out. As a fan of a word, and an admirer of music, I always try to involve with a song from their whole package. From words and melody.

Nowadays, bunch of teenagers seeking attention by creating music, gathering some friends and neighbor and choose a cool name to represent, what they believed, a band. Some think it’s a shortcut to become famous, and some really think music is their whole life. There’s nothing wrong with any of the statement. As long as we’d still have some real good music to make world a better place, then it is enough.

Fresh talented group of people rise and sink. We probably relieve to hear music from Efek Rumah Kaca and Naif They write lyrics so damn genius and created tunes that catchy to accompany them. But don’t you miss the past 90’s where lyric is well-thought and every song isn’t dominated by the words ‘I love you’? Don’t you remember the times when you’re not surrounding by some people singing desperation and suffering, or some other who run out of ideas and starting to spell every letter in words of ‘C-I-N-T-A’?

 

Laras hati, berkelana iris janji. Mengukir bisikan, bisikan memacu hasrat. Desir-desir mimpi, isyaratkan legit dunia. Kamulah satu-satunya, yang ternyata mengerti aku.
(Kamulah Satu-Satunya – Dewa 19)

Don’t you miss the metaphor and the sweet praises?

 

Birthday Wishes

//October 16, 2010//

I supposed to post it last night, but I’ve just got asleep (as usual). So better late than never.

As a child and adult, we always made a wish on birthday date. Last year, I wish a lot of things. I even put that on my sidebar and labeled it My Wish List. Surprisingly, people whose kind enough granted all my wish list including the wants of plastic camera named Oktomat and a new book by dearest Paulo Coelho. But as times went by, wanting luxury items may be fun when your age doesn’t reach mine. Tomorrow, I’ll be 23 and I keep thinking it is selfish to want goods for your birthday wish. So as for today, I made by birthday wish.

I wish that all of you, having a good and healthy life.

‘You’ refers to a lot of people. First, it will always be my Dad, Mom, the happy sister Autie—hoping everything would be always stays on path and you won’t scratch another marks on that car again, the other sister Ivy—yeah you, don’t grow laziness on your back.

Second, it will be my dearest Manis, the mighty Fungsionaris 2009 – 2010. Insan & Vina, you’ll always be my sweet couple and I’m hoping the best for you guys in the future.

Keep rocking like you’re doing know, you two are doing great and I wish you a happy life with those future certain someone. Bravo, Alvin, Praba, and Lukman, hey there my handsome fellas. You’re always cheering me up just with your existence. So, hoping I can always do the same to you guys. My sweet remains friend, Mangasi Napitupulu. High five, baby. Finding happiness always seems hard, but you’ll find one and I want to be the one who claps big that time. May you find it real soon :)

Hang On

//October 15, 2010//

Seeing people walking down the path I took last time, was not always good to me. Sometimes, I feel they’re weak because they complaining too much, making sigh-ed a lot, and lacking effort so much. But sometimes, I know how hard that is and it’s different for everybody. Sometimes, you cannot stand the same pressure as me or anybody else. Or maybe, it is way harder than the last time I played the game. There are too many possibilities why they’re acting like this, but I don’t take my time to guess. But baby, you know it would be hard, you knew the risk, and you should be prepared. Maybe you didn’t know it is harder than you thought. But stand still, stand where you are. Because if you’re back up a bit, you’ll lose big and it’ll cost you all the competition.

Yeah, it is not always good to see you guys suffer. Sometimes, I just want to look you in the eyes, let you rest on my shoulder and said, “I’ve been there. I know how that feels and it is the truth. But, hang on there for a little while. You’ll get used to it, and you’ll know how it feels to become the sole winner.”

Fist bump, girl :)

 

For Whom It May Concern

//October 14, 2010//

Yeah you, with the string and lot of laugh. It is not easy to accept you the way you slip into my dreams. It is not easy to get rid of past encounter and let you hold my hand. It is not always easy for anyone to reject you for your honesty and all of your jokes. Yeah you, with the glasses and lot of heart. Let me tell you a thing, Weezer may plays the song The Prettiest Girl in the Whole Wide World once and I don’t deserve the song. So, here’s letter for you. Thank you it’s the first word I’ll give to you, with a yellow card I once made. It’s really an honor to have all the attention these whole years. And two, I heart the train station. You made me sitting on the bench once again, today. Waiting you with that obvious shirt, that was cool. So for that, I made my third word. I heart you, a lot.

Five times for high five means a charm.

The Lucky October

//October 02, 2010//

I’ve been miscalculated a lot of things. I thought September was nice and peaceful. The truth is September was dark and tough. So, here is the sister October. I’ve always got a good feeling on this month. October always a powerful month and a lucky charm for me. October is a month of change, a month to start something new.

I have enough exhaling and I want to start this month with a smile. Like Clarita always sings, as long as I have sun above my head a nice air surround myself, then it is enough.

Hell yeah, October! You’re up next to beat up :D
