Lene Marlin >>> Another Day

"ketika cinta jadi pusat jagad rayaku,
pantaskah aku berharap lebih?
bukankah cinta itu ta' menuntut?"

Lie to me, say that you need me
That's what I wanna hear
That is what, what makes me happy
Hoping you'll be near
All this time, how could I know
Within these walls, I can feel you

Another day goes by, will never
know just wonder why
You made me feel good, made me smile
I see it now, and I, can say it's gone
That would be a lie
Cannot control this, this thing called love

You must think, how can this be
You don't really know me
I can't tell, this ain't the time
You'll never be mine
What can I say, something 'bout my life
I just lost again

Another day goes by, will never
know just wonder why
You made me feel good, made me smile
I see it now, and I, can say it's gone
That would be a lie
Cannot control this, this thing called love

Always have to move on,
To leave it all behind
Go along with time

Another day goes by, will never
know just wonder why
You made me feel good, made me smile
I see it now, and I, can say it's gone
That would be a lie
Cannot control this, this thing called love

Venice, Northern Italy

Luigi Barzini said that Venice is the most beautiful city in the world, and he's not the only persons who said that. From the pictures that I saw on Internet, and from some movies and books that used Venice as background place, i know (or i feel) that Venice absolutely a beautiful place. Someday, I'll go to Venice. I must go to see Venice.

"Venice, wait for me!"

First Love of a Royal Prince

"It's an old movie, but i love it so much!!"

Cast :
Sung Yu Ri as Kim Yu-bin
Cha Tae Hyun as Choi Gun-hee (”Prince”)
Kim Nam Jin as Cha Seung-hyun
Lee Jennie as Shin Ye-seo
Jin Jae Young as Lee Hye-Mi

Broadcasted by:
MBC (2004-06-23 to 2004-08-26)

Sinopsis :
(taken from : Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia)

First Love of a Royal Prince (Hangul: 황태자의 첫사랑 Hwang-tae-ja-ui Cheot-sa-rang), aka A Prince's First Love, is an 18-episode South Korean television drama broadcast by MBC in 2004 featuring Sung Yu-ri from the female Korean pop group Fin.K.L as Kim Yu-bin, a fun-loving, affable sandwich shop delivery girl who has been harboring a crush on the recipient of her first delivery, Cha Seung-hyun (played by Kim Nam-jin). Seung-hyun, a well pedigreed and recognized manager of Any Electronics, stands in stark contrast to Choi Gun-hee (played by singer and actor from the Korean film "My Sassy Girl", Cha Tae-hyun), a spoiled heir skipping out on school in the United States unbeknownst to his father.


Yu-bin wins a trip to a ski resort in Japan and decides to visit her friend Shin Ye-suh (played by Jennie Lee) who works as a guide there, one of several owned by Gun-hee's father. That weekend, Gun-hee sneaks off to the same resort to celebrate his birthday with friends and latest fling, Lee Hae-mi (played by Jin Jae-young), an actress and rising star. Gun-hee's father's unexpected visit to Japan forces Gun-hee to jump into Yu-bin's cab without his wallet which leads to a full day together for this already contentious pair.

After an unsuccessful stint as secretary for Seung-hyun, Yu-bin finally gets to work her dream job as a tour guide in Bali, only it's alongside her unwanted acquaintance, Gun-hee. When Seung-hyun and Hae-mi travel there to shoot a commercial for a new Any Electronics product launch, strong feelings of attachment and rivalry surface. Meanwhile, a 30 year old but unforgotten past between Gun-hee's father and Seung-hyun's mother complicates matters.

mantra cinta >> love spell

aku mencintaimu seperti laut terhadap pantai,
ta jemu ta kandas,
surut menjauh namun ta hilang didera waktu..

aku merindukanmu,
aku selalu merindukanmu,
aku akan jadi yang selalu kau rindu,
aku akan jadi satu-satunya yang kau rindu..

aku mencintaimu,
tawa dan tangismu adalah milikku.

aku mencintaimu,
hidupmu adalah hidupku..

aku menatap matamu dan melihat diriku disana,
kau pun menatapku dan temukan cinta.

di dalam hatiku kan selalu kutemukan dirimu.

meskipun jalan berliku,
aku selalu berjalan disampingmu,
sebab arah kita sama,
di ujung jalan itu kita temukan hidup abadi.

dan di akhir nafasmu,
namaku yang kan kau sebut.

biarlah ini jadi janji yang mengikat kita selamanya.

barbi3 >> again!

Barbi3 its an indonesian movie.The story it's about 3 beautiful, fashionholic and rich girls. They are Marion (perform by Titi Kamal), Alya (perform by Poppy Sovia) and Alin (perform by Francine Roosenda). Their friendship is their world.

Many people in their campus hate them. Not only because they are rich and very arogant, but because many man have been being their target/victim. But nobody ever dare to fight them, except Helen (perform by Cathy Sharon).

On the first time, helen never care about what barbi3 (Marion, Alya, Alin) have been done. But when they are making Stanley (perform by Desta Club 80's) as they target and then Stanley try to suicide, from that time Helen show her fight. Why? You should see the movie to know it!!

Let me give some other information.. barbi3 will met an angel of death after their car accident. The angel will make them do anything to be apologized by Stanley, or they will be death in 30 days laters. Are they gonna be dead? How about Helen? What happen next?..

(High School Musical, Hairspray)

barbi3

Yesterday i watch Barbi3 the movie with my BF. It's not about a barbie doll, but it's about 3 girls which is always judge people from the outside. It's an Indonesian movie. Funny and educative in the same time.

What i want to share is, i really love Marion (perform by Titi Kamal) dress and fashion sense. Hehehehe.. Although she is an antagonist character here, but I've found many things same between me and Marion. We love pink, make up, girly stuff, blink-blink, beautiful shoes, prada bag, and all those branded stuff.

But thanks God.. I'm not that such an evil. :p
And now i found some rational reason why God didn't make me daughter's of rich parent. Maybe i will be an evil girl like Marion. Girl whose only knew fashion, money, her best friend and her world. Never care peoples and doesn't have brain (actually she had, but she didn't use it). Hahaha..

But i still LuPH Ur fashion stuff Marion!!

in the end of my life

And in the end it's not the years in your life that count.
It's the life in your years.
(Abraham Lincoln)

When i read this quote, i was thinking. What kind of life I've been living?

If it's about serious life, chasing my dream and follow my heart, yes.. i already did. But where's happiness? Why i always feel empty and somehow i feel lonely in this crowded world around. What's missing?

I have my own life, my own room, my own money, boyfriend, etc. But why i feel uncompleted?

Looks like i miss a part of me. Runaway in a world without limit, where's no pain, sorrow, hurt and tears.

And in the end of my life.. how is my life will be counted, if i have no such a life to be count?

love is

love is a mixture between joy and pain,
and it's finishing by tolerance foam.
(christie veronica)

when we love someone, we will feel joy and pain in the same time.
joy.. cos we have found someone to love and can love us back.
but pain, cos fear of lossing.

but above all..
we realy need to tolerance and understand each other.
so we can keep our love warm in our heart forever.

something 'bout love

u can close ur eyes,
but u can't close ur heart.

and when u open ur eyes,
u'll find love.

but remember..
from the second u start to love (someone),
u must ready to hurt.

u are NOT alone!

feel Ur heart beating, then U will know that U are NOT alone.

bersyukur, bersyukurlah jiwaku.

...

ta' malukah engkau pada ibumu?
yang bangun lebih awal menyiapkan harimu,
yang menghitung keping receh merajut masa depanmu..

ta' malukah engkau pada ayahmu?
yang berusaha jadi tegar sekokoh karang,
bahkan terkadang mengeras ta' tergerus ombak,
demi memberimu rasa aman yang kau benci..

ta' malukah kau pada pahlawan2 ta' dikenal?
yang kehilangan nyawa dan kenikmatan dunia,
demi memberimu kesempatan merangkai masa depan,
dengan merdeka..
dan ta' terkekang.

sejauh apa kita t'lah bersyukur?
cukupkah dengan doa?

tidak.

kurasa doa saja ta' kan pernah cukup.

apa yang t'lah kau berikan pada mereka?
apa yang t'lah kau berikan pada indonesia?
apa yang t'lah kau berikan pada dunia?

dan yang terpenting..
apa yang t'lah kau berikan pada dirimu?
apakah kebahagiaan semu di masa muda,
ataukah harta ta' ternilai dari Tuhanmu?..

bersyukur ..
bersyukurlah jiwaku..

walau remuk hatimu,
walau linu tulangmu,
walau ta' ada satupun menjadi penolongmu..

bersyukur..
bersyukurlah jiwaku..

setidaknya kita punya harapan,
setidaknya kita punya kesempatan..
tuk buktikan pada diri sendiri,
bahwa kita mampu!

aku mampu menjadi aku yang terbaik.

thats what you get

No sir, well I don’t want to be the blame
Not anymore
It’s your turn to take a seat
We’re settling the final score
And why do we like to hurt so much?
I can’t decide, you have made it harder just to go on
Why all the possibilities where I was wrong
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa
I drowned out all my senses with the sound of it’s beating
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa
I wonder how am I supposed to feel when you’re not here
‘Cause I burned every bridge I ever built when you were here
I still try holding on to silly things
I never learned why when all the possibilities I’m sure you heard
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa
I drowned out all my senses with the sound of it’s beating
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa
They make you wait to me, to me
And I’ll always be just so inviting
If I ever start to think straight
This heart started right in me
Let’s start, hey
Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh why do we like to hurt so much?
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa
That’s what you get when you let your heart win
I can’t trust myself with anything but this
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win
Whoa

when it rains

And when it rains,
On this side of town it touches, everything.
Just say it again and mean it.
We don’t miss a thing.
You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole (blackest hole)
And convinced yourself that
It’s not the reason you don’t see the sun anymore

And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
Oh, oh, I need the ending.
So why can’t you stay
Just long enough to explain?

And when it rains,
Will you always find an escape?
Just running away,
From all of the ones who love you,
From everything.
You made yourself a bed
At the bottom of the blackest hole (blackest hole)
And you’ll sleep ’til May
And you’ll say that you don’t want to see the sun anymore

And oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
And oh, oh, I need the ending.
So why can’t you stay just long enough to explain?

Take your time.
Take my time.

Take these chances to turn it around. (take your time)
Take these chances, we’ll make it somehow
And take these chances to turn it around. (take my…)
Just turn it around.

Oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
Oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
Oh, oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming.
Oh, oh I need an ending.
So why can’t you stay
Just long enough to explain?

You can take your time, take my time.

stop this song (lovesick melody)

You say the sweetest things
And I can’t keep my heart from singing
Along to the sound of your song
My stupid feet keep moving
To this 4-4 beat I’m in time with you, ohh
To this 4-4 beat I would die for you (die for you)
(Someone stop this)
I’ve gone too far to come back from here
But you don’t have a clue
You don’t know what you do to me
Won’t someone stop this song?
So I won’t sing along
Someone stop this song
So I won’t sing
Well, I never let love in
So I could keep my heart from hurting
The longer that I live with this idea
The more I sink in
To this 4-4 beat I’m in time with you, ohh
To this 4-4 beat I would die for you
(Let’s stop this song)
I’ve gone too far to come back from here (ohh)
But you don’t have a clue
You don’t know what you do to me (ooh)
And I’ve come too far to get over you (ohh)
And you don’t have a clue (ohh)
You don’t know what you do to me
Won’t someone stop this song?
So I won’t sing along
Someone stop this song
So I won’t sing a lovesick melody
It’s gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won’t get to me
If I don’t sing
It creeps in, like a spider
Can’t be killed, although I try and try to
But don’t you see I’m falling?
Don’t wanna love you
But I do
(Lovesick melody)
Someone stop this song
So I won’t sing along
(Lovesick melody, ohh)
Someone stop this song
So I won’t sing a lovesick melody
It’s gonna get the best of me tonight
But you won’t get to me (no, you won’t get to me)
Cause I won’t sing

emo poetry

this is one emo poems i found..
feel those deep lyric.


:: What Can I do?

I’ve tried, to give you everything,
Even what I do not have,
Still, you seem unaware of what I do,
All I’ve given for you,
All I’ve done to prove,

Still, you seem unaware,
Of how much I love you,
A better life I gave,
Better for you, I behaved,

Nothing, seems to impress you,
Nothing seems to catch your attention,
If I were to write you a song,
You’d like it for a day,
If I wrote you poems,
You’d stash them all away,

What can I do to prove?
My undying love for you,
My burning desire,
To hold you,
My urges, to hear your voice,
My scars screaming your name,
To you it seems all the same.

not alone, but..

time runing,
i'm still here,
not alone,
but.. lonely.

why??

dua sisi jiwa

>>> November 19, 2007 at 04:45 AM <<<

benci ini, jangan kau tanya..
aku pun tak paham,
mengapa,
sejak kapan,
atau pada siapa..

tangisku, milikku,
jangan kau ratapi,
ini aku,
cintai aku.

waktu yang berlari pergi,
aku sendiri,
hanya denganmu.

benci ini, jangan kau tanya..
aku pun tak mengerti,
ini aku,
cintai aku.. utuh.

desah

>>> November 29, 2007 at 10:48 PM <<<

cinta merayap,
meniup tengkuk,
hidup kejam,
kasihku mengutuk.

cinta cuma desah malam,
sesaat tertelan dilema,
cuma drama seribu babak,
yang wanginya merebak.

saat hati harus memilih,
antara cinta dan realita,
bumi teriak,
"genggam cintanya!!"..

tapi apa dayaku??
hidup bukan cuma tentang cinta,
saat ku ta' punya pilihan,
mampukah kau memberinya??

saia bingung!!

saia bingung..
mau kerja yg dapet duit ato kerja yg ngejar gelar?
dua2nya penting..
tapi mana yg paling penting?

bingung

detak detik berlalu,
aku masih duduk,
merenung,
bingung..

astaga!!
kenapa setiap pilihan semakin sukar waktu kita +tua?

Aduch!!

q pernah jatuh,
tapi q bangkit..

q pernah menangis,
tapi q tertawakan kelemahanku..

q pernah kecewa dan benci,
tapi q benci diriku yang itu..

q pernah pergi,
tapi q tau waktunya kembali..

aduch!!
aku capek..
aku mau diam..

lalu ku dengar hidup mengejekku,
huh.. cuma segitu!!

aduch!!
ya, ya.. aku kan lari lagi.

hanya semesta nada,
abadi dinyanyikan.

kau buaian angan,
mimpi di malam yang panjang,
ketika bulan merayap perlahan,
dan hatiku rindu tuk jumpa.

kau bagian kasih Tuhan,
hadiah dari surga tuk hatiku yang lara.

andai ada yang bilang.

ga ada yang bilang,
kanak-kanak ialah bermain,
tawa,
tangis,
dan terjatuh.

ga ada yang bilang,
remaja ialah bahagia,
nakal,
ceria,
hidup penuh warna.

ga ada yang bilang,
dewasa ialah proses,
berusaha,
gagal,
dan tetap berjalan.

yang ku tau..
detik adalah cemas,
harapan adalah puncak dari kesempurnaan.

sendu biru.

hidup dalam bising,
mengapa oh hidup sepi?
mimpi saja kumiliki,
dekap erat dekat hati.

'ntah nyata atau harap,
cinta datang ta' bersuara,
bawa tawa juga air mata,
merajut mimpi di ujung malam.

Sketch.
