Reminding Me Of You

When i first heard this song, all that i can think of and all that blistering in my eyes is you.

Your smile, your laugh, your hand caresing me. Gently scrathing my hair.

HEAVEN ON EARTH. Yeah, you are my heaven on earth, rpd baby.

Really wishing that one day, i could sing this song to you, at our wedding day.

Fly Love

Wasn´t really thinkin', wasn´t lookin' , wasn´t searching
for an answer
In the moonlight
When I saw your face

Saw you lookin' at me, saw you peeking out from under
moon beams
Through the palm trees
Swayin' in the breeze

I know, I´m feelin' so much more than ever before
And so I´m giving more to you than I though I could do

Don´t know how it happened, don´t know why, but you don´t
really need a reason
When the stars shine
Just to fall in love

Made to love each other, made to be together, for a life time
In the sunshine
Flying in the sky

I know I´m feelin' so much more than ever before
And so I´m giving more to you than I thought I could do
Ooh...

Now I know love is real
So when the sky high, as the angels try
Letting you and I
Fly love

The Lonely

I go to the lonely and ask him
"What do you fear?"
"Come close and I'll whisper in your ear..."
I shuffle my feet and draw near
"I fear that which causes me pain."
"What kind of pain?"
"The kind that comes from humiliation."
"Why?" my brow creased in concentration
"Because when I am humiliated I hate myself"
I lean back in confusion
"Why?"
"Because on the inside, I cry"
"Why?"
"Because when I am humiliated, others dislike me
and then I have no friends and I become lonely"
"But are you not lonely now?"
Now it's his turn to crease his brow
"Yes, I must confess"
"Why?"
"Because I shut myself away for protection"
"Protection from what?" is my question
"Protection from humiliation"
 
- Gilad Levanon -

The Loneliness

Babyface's The Loneliness is seem to be so myself for now.

The ultimate lyrics that even can surely make me wanna harm myself after hearing it.

Especially in this time. In this moment. Where i, Wes Umar, is really really really missing the woman i love.

I'm sitting here
Thinking bout
How I'm gonna do without
You around in my life and how am I
I goin' get by
I ain't got no days
Just lonely nights
You want the truth
Well girl I'm not alright
Feel out of place and out of time
I think I'm gonna lose my mind

So tell me how you feel (im lonely)
Are you for real (so lonely)
Do you still think of me (i think of you)
Baby still (are you lonely)
Do you dream of me at night (like i dream of you all the time)
So let me tell you how it feels (its like everyday i die)
Wish i was dreaming but its real (when i open up my eyes)
Let me tell you how it feels (and don't see your pretty face)
I think that i will never love again

I miss your face
I miss your kiss
I even miss the arguments
That we would have from time to time
I miss you standing by my side
I'm dying here its clear to see
There ain't no you, God knows there ain't no me
Don't want to live, I want to die
If I can't have you in my life

So tell me how you feel (I'm lonely)
Are you for real (so lonely)
Do you still think of me (i think of you)
Baby still (are you lonely)
Do you dream of me at night (like i dream of you all the time, so lonely)
Oh let me tell you how it feels (its like everyday i die)
Wish i was dreaming but its real (when i open up my eyes)
Let me tell you how it feels (and don't see your pretty face)
I think that I will never love again

A VAMPIRES REMORSE

Found a great poem from deepundergroudpoetry.com that really-really is 'me'



A Vampires Remorse

As I mourned my beloved Wife,
I included in my misery,
a scorn of Gods gift called life,
my immortal eyes watched eternity.

Now all I see is in Moonlight
and I hide when Day is born.
Visions of all is cast in shadows
color of Day is forever gone.

My dead nostrils smell only mildew,
mold and decay, an existence, stale.
I dream of Morning, days beginning
and skin once tan which now is pale.

When I lived and loved my better half,
an oath was made unto myself.
This love would endure eternally
through out time, sickness and health.

Memories of how we said our vows,
there I knew from the start.
Love would transcend it would not end
lasting beyond death do us part.

Our happiness it was governed,
when found out she could not bear young.
Sadness thus encompassed her;
she envied all mothers and songs they sung.

She tried to hide from her pain;
an altered state of mind did seek.
To make her life worth living again,
search happiness where all is bleak.

There by the Gods of luck and odds,
a child came to be.
Conceived by a child herself,
from addictions conflicting deeds.

A drug house a young girls labor occurred,
where my Wife and I had did seek escape.
Life's' pain had inflicted a curse on her;
through altered minds we tried to erase.

An Infant appeared birthed in a bad dream,
for this is the way he was born.
A destitute life of poverty,
destiny at birth it was forlorn.

This young mother she had her druthers;
she traded the child to us for drugs.
My mate and I paid for her to get high,
and then scooped the baby right off the rug.

My Lady did stand, she had a plan
of two plus one is three
She gathered the child, who fit her style
and we became a Family.

Then all was dear for the next five years.
What prospered grew and acquired.
Was love health and material wealth.
All of our wants which we aspired.

Then one wrenched and wicked day
a fool shot a bullet in revelry.
He did not care that it flew through the air
Unconcerned of deaths flying trajectory.

We were on a picnic all three full of love
She suddenly fell and lay on the grove
What pierced my wife took her life
Ending all that for which we had strove.

In a bar I drown my sorrow night after night
The maid let me in as I searched for my keys
I'd lie beside my son both our tears flowing
Wordless we cried and mourned ourselves to sleep.

One eve. After we had laid her to rest
I remembered a haze of the first full moon
Amplified was my cry unrelenting was sorrow
life without her love was surrounded by gloom.

A Female was pale yet she was dark.
We found common ground in our despair.
All her life she'd searched for another.
She wished for a love but love wasn't there.

She had never found love herself.
She desired to help my want within.
Aid my quest, which I needed so,
to search till there was no end.

She took my hand and led me outside
to a graveyard which was near
'What I offer you is immortalit, y
all the time to search for what you hold dear.

In my drunken stupor
I fell into the web she wove
It entangled me with a need to see
The one which I had betroved.

She said, ' Close your eyes, think of times
The glory the splendor of her.
Do not fear this won't take long.
She drew forth my emotions which stirred.

'Lean your head back.' I did so.
I barely felt the fangs go in.
My life ebbed on a journey to bliss,
soon I did call death my friend.

My heartbeat grew softer,
it slowed and nearly stopped.
My conscience knew all of this,
lethargic lucidity as blood pressure dropped.

I thought, what would become of my Son,
with both of us Parents gone?
I prayed the Maid would care for him
and keep her place in our Home.

Then came the voice
Of the one who did this deed.
'This I offer to you
impairs wisdoms of deaths creed.'

And now you must choose,
Do you wish existence to end,
or seek out the one you love.
for you will have all time to spend.

Then came the presence of my Wife
Her spirit gray in hugh.
She said. 'Do not pass into the void
our son is the one who needs of you.

Seeing how you are now undead
Together forever we are.
We three again family you see
I accept it as such here under the stars.

This darkened Woman who drank my blood.
Tensed as my Wife she did hea.r
I wondered what undercurrents were there
for it seemed that what i wished became near.

Then she offered her wrist to me,
Said. ' Drink of my veins and it is done.
To your Wife I must say I will not go away
for the love I have for longed has just begun.

DARK POEMS

Sedang senang-senangnya mengumpulkan 'gelap' tentang Kegelapan, Kematian, dan rasa sakit.

1). Crying In The Dark
 
Under the cover of darkness,
Does the mask turn to dust,
Open the floodgates,
And let them rust.

Dark feelings resurface,
Hurt and betrayal,
When one feels all this,
Does he still believe in angels?

Memories appear,
That were long forgotten,
They bring chaos with them,
As you witness your own destruction.

Unleash those feelings,
For this moment, right now,
Under this cover of darkness,
To no one, you shall bow.

But when the light returns,
The mask will find its way back,
The gates will close,
And from within they'll attack.

Until they're released,
They won't quiet down,
When the shadows are gone,
Your spirit will be bound.

Words of discouragement,
Its poison seeps in,
They tie you down,
And torture you, within.

Put the pain in a bottle,
Close it for now,
Be on your way,
Resume the facade, most foul.

Its about to bubble over,
The lid itself is trembling,
The gates are about to burst open,
The cycle, again is beginning.

Go to your corner,
Turn off the lights,
Let no one see you,
As you slowly die inside.

REMINDER

Allow me to make myself a reminder

kinda like a preview of what i'm going to do for weekends next year, 2013.

Today, 4th of June 2012
Sitting alone in a bar, drinking beers while posting for my blog. Single, live alone, one car, a lot of money.

Next year, the same date
Sitting alone, enjoying nice wine, expensive cigar, thinner body than ever, tattooes of you and your name, living alone, 2 cars and buckload of money.

Same activity, but different you. Amen.

JUNE

Welcoming June 2012,

I just wanna say one thing.

Dear June, more challenges please...... these are boring.

Lady Gaga VS Habib Salim ( FPI Jakarta ) Part 1

Woooww!!

Fenomenal banget judulnya yah? :p
Tapi memang kejadian dan peristiwanya juga jauh dari kesan "biasa-biasa" saja.

Semua berawal dari kabar gembira oleh sebuah perusahaan promotor musik yang bernama BigDaddy, mengumumkan bahwa si penyanyi yang bernama asli Stephanie Joanne Angelina Germanotta akan mengadakan konsernya di Indonesia sebagai bagian dari Tur Asia "Born This Way" -nya.
Konser tersebut dijadwalkan akan diadakan di Stadion Utama Gelora Bung Karno ( SUGBK ) pada tanggal 3 Juni 2012 dan akan dibagi menjadi empat kelas. Harga tiket masing-masing kelas, yaitu Rp 465 ribu, Rp 750 ribu, Rp 1.250.000 dan Rp 2.250.000. Tiket 'The Born This Way Ball' mulai dijual 10 Maret mulai pukul 10.00 WIB di FX Lifestyle X'Center Sudirman, Jakarta, dan secara online di www.myticket.co.id
Bukan harga yang murah untuk menyaksikan seorang Lady Gaga yang terkenal selain dari lagu-lagunya, juga dari kostum 'unik' yang berarti menggambarkan beliau sebagai seseorang yang moody dan tidak mau dibelenggu oleh aturan. Tapi mengingat akan sosok Lady Gaga, imej yang ditimbulkannya, musik yang diciptakan dan dibawakannya, tata panggung, tata suara, koreografi, dan staminanya, harga tiket itu tidak ada artinya untuk seorang Die Hard Fans . Malah harga tiket dan keuntungan untuk bisa menikmati pertunjukkan kelas dunia ala Lady Gaga dirasa kurang sebanding. Harga tiket seperti tiba-tiba menjadi "murah".

So Little Time Too Much To Do

Klise.
Yak, hanya satu kata yang bisa menggambarkan judul dari post ini, klise.
Banyak yang harus dilakukan, namun waktu yang tersedia hanya sedikit. Seakan-akan 24 jam dalam 1 hari itu tidaklah cukup untuk menyelesaikan semua rencana kita.
Beberapa orang akan bilang kalau perasaan seperti itu merupakan suatu hal yang bagus, karena hal ini menandakan kalau seseorang sangat sibuk menghabiskan waktu yang tersedia dalam 1 hari untuk melakukan banyak hal. Dimana saking banyaknya aktivitas tersebut, bahkan waktu 24 jam itu dirasa tidaklah cukup.
Sementara itu, beberapa orang lainnya, akan menyatakan bahwa kata-kata seperti judul post ini merupakan perkataan yang hanya dikeluarkan oleh orang yang tidak bisa mengatur waktu dalam kehidupannya.
Mengatur waktu disini bukanlah "mengatur waktu" seperti bisa merubah dari pagi tiba-tiba menjadi malam dalam sekejab, namun dalam hal ini artinya "kurang bisa memanfaatkan waktu yang tersedia untuk bisa menyelesaikan semua aktivitas yang harus dikerjakan dalam 1 hari".

Make The Best Of Your Time. Don't Ever Waste It. Because You Can't Turn Back Times.

Seeing Things In Different Perspectives ( part 2 )

Menyambung dari part 1 ( ya iyalah )

Setiap orang pasti punya pandangan masing-masing dalam melihat suatu hal.
Biasanya pandangan-pandangan ini di pengaruhi oleh faktor-faktor berikut :

1. Keluarga
Setiap orang tumbuh di keluarga yang berbeda-beda. Keluarga ini juga memiliki nilai ( values ) yang berbeda-beda pula. Tidak ada keluarga yang tidak memiliki nilai-nilai. Se- 'liar-liar' atau se- rock n roll - rock n roll nya suatu keluarga, pasti memiliki values tertentu.
Sewaktu kita masih kecil, kita melihat values ini sebagai  'peraturan', 'tata tertib' atau versi ekstrimnya, 'Garis-Garis Besar Haluan Rumah' :p
Waktu kita kecil, kita tidak menyadari hal ini. Kita juga tidak menyadari bahwa hal inilah yang akan membentuk pribadi kita nantinya. Nilai-nilai dalam keluarga atau family values ini yang diterapkan oleh kedua orang tua kita akan membentuk karakter kita sebagai seorang pribadi untuk pertama kalinya. Semua berawal dari rumah.

2. Lingkungan
Lingkungan ada berbagai macam. Lingkungan tempat tinggal, lingkungan sekolah, lingkungan pertemanan, seiring berjalan waktu, lingkungan di dunia kerja, lingkungan rumah tangga, dan lain sebagainya.
Lingkungan adalah faktor kedua setelah keluarga yang membentuk pandangan dan pola pikir kita.
Walaupun nilai-nilai di keluarga sudah kuat tertanam dalam diri kita masing-masing, namun tidak menutup kemungkinan faktor lingkungan dapat merubah nilai-nilai itu. Semua tergantung pribadi masing-masing apakah pribadi tersebut merupakan pribadi yang "fleksibel" dalam menerima dan menyaring setiap perubahan ataukah cukup kaku untuk mempertahankan nilai-nilai yang sudah tertanam melalui faktor keluarga tadi.

Kedua hal di atas merupakan faktor yang cukup signifikan dalam menetapkan cara pandang dan pola pikir setiap pribadi. Tidak akan pernah ada alasan yang cukup kuat untuk seseorang memaksakan pola dan sudut pandangnya pada orang lain. Afterall, we are all different. So, it's very normal if we'd see thing differently. And we should see things differently too, because then we will understand about other people might see, feel, and think.

I'm different, and so do you. :))

SEEING THINGS IN DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES ( part 1 )

To See Things In Different Perspectives.
 Untuk melihat segala sesuatu dari sudut pandang yang lain.

Basi ya kedengarannya? Pasti kalian udah sering lihat atau dengar "slogan" ini. Jadi, mari kita tambah 'kebasian' ini dengan membahasnya ( lagi ). :p
Sesuatu hal yang 'terlihat' salah di mata seseorang, belum tentu akan terlihat sama di mata orang lain. Begitu pun sebaliknya.
Banyak orang berdebat mengenai hal-hal tertentu, ini juga dikarenakan ada perbedaan pendapat dari masing-masing orang tersebut. Perbedaan pendapat ini muncul dari sudut pandang tiap orang dalam melihat suatu permasalahan.

O FORTUNA



O Fortuna
Velut luna
statue variabilis,
semper crescis
aut decrescis;
vita detestabilis
nunc obdurat
et tunc curat
ludo mentis aciem
egestatem
potestatem
dissolvit ut glaciem
Sors immanis
et inanis
rota tu volubilis
status malus,
vana salus
semper dissolubilis,
obumbrata
et velata
michi quoque niteris;
nunc per ludum
dorsum nudum
fero tui sceleris.
Sors salutis
et virtutis
mihi nunc contraria
est affectus
et defectus
semper in angaria.
Hac in hora
sine mora
corde pulsum tangite
quod per sortem
sternit fortem,
mecum omnes plangite!



English translation -

O Fortune,
like the moon
you are changeable,
ever waxing
and waning
hateful life
first oppresses
and then soothes
as fancy takes it
poverty
and power
it melts them like ice.
Fate - monstrous
and empty
you whirling wheel,
you are malevolent,
well-being is vain
and always fades to nothing,
shadowed
and veiled
you plague me too
now through the game
I bring my bare back
to your villainy.
Fate is against me
in health
and virtue
driven on
and weighted down
always enslaved.
So at this hour
without delay
pluck the vibrating strings;
since Fate
strikes down the string man,
everyone weep with me!

O Fortuna - Carl Orff

BOOKS FOR MAY

Buku - buku untuk Bulan Mei. Seperti halnya gw posting di blog ini, baca buku juga salah satu hal yang udah lama ga gw kerjain.

Terakhir gw baca buku, tahun lalu, waktu gw masih menikah. Dari mulai Hypnolangsing-nya Juli Triharto, Rhenald Kasali, Rich Dad Poor Dad dan banyak lagi.
Sekarang, ( akhirnya ) gw punya kesempatan untuk belanja buku lagi. Dan, lagi-lagi karena sudah lama ga baca buku, pengetahuan gw tentang buku-buku baru yang menarik untuk dibaca juga jadi sangat-sangat minim.
Di bulan April 2012, gw banyak dapet referensi buku dari twitter dan dari web. Tapi karena gw lupa untuk nyatet judul-judul buku referensi itu, akhirnya gw mulai lagi dari nol.

Di awal Mei, gw beli dua buah buku. Been There, Done That, Got The T-Shirt dan Merdeka Dalam Bercanda.



Buku-buku di atas cukup menarik untuk gw yang udah lama ( banget ) ga baca buku.

Been There, Done That, Got The T-Shirt ( B.T.D.T.G.T.T.S.) sesuai dengan tagline di cover bukunya, bercerita tentang semua hal yang perlu diketahui untuk bisa hidup-hidupnya. Engga, gw ga tertarik dengan buku ini bukan karena tagline nya yang menarik itu. Tapi karena, yaahh.... karena itu sih. :p

 Merdeka Dalam Bercanda karya Pandji Pragiwaksono, bikin gw tertarik karena yah... buku ini bercerita tentang perjalanan stand-up comedy di Indonesia. Kenapa gw sampe tertarik? gw belum cerita tentang beberapa bulan terakhir di tahun 2012, gw ( sempet ) memberanikan diri untuk terjun di dunia stand-up comedy. Tapi itu nanti gw ceritain yah.... kapan-kapan. hehehehe

Pertanyaan yang paling utama yang harusnya muncul dari postingan gw kali ini, sudahlah kedua buku ini gw baca?? hahahaha....
Jawabannya, cuma satu yang ( sedang ) gw baca. BTDTGTTS sampai sekarang belum tamat gw baca. Bukan karena sok sibuk, tapi ga tau kenapa, sekarang ini, kalau gw mau baca buku itu, gw harus nemuin suasana yang enak dan nyaman.
Pilihan utama gw untuk menciptakan suasana yang enak dan nyaman itu bukan seperti dulu lagi dimana gw bisa dengan nyaman baca buku di atas kasur, di kamar di rumah. Sekarang, gw lebih nemuin suasana nyaman kalau ada "teman pendamping baca". Rokok dan Beer dingin sekarang yang jadi pihan gw untuk teman baca buku.

Walaupun gw sadar, sebenernya itu ga bisa dijadiin alasan untuk menunda menyelesaikan membaca suatu buku, tapi yah... pelan-pelan lah yaa... lagian, itu kan buku gw! :D ( salah satu alasan lagi ).

Nanti kalau gw udah tamat baca kedua buku tadi, gw akan coba ( sok ) bikin review nya yah.
Later lonely souls.......

The Prodigal Son Has Return

Gary Oldman - Dracula ( Bram Stoker's Dracula )

The Prodigal Sons Has Return!!

Atau Bahasa Indonesianya ( kalau tidak salah ), "Kembalinya Si Anak Setan". :))
Siapakah Si Anak Setan itu? ok, gw ngaku, gw anak setan itu.

Kenapa Anak Setan? karena gw dengan "setan" - nya udah ninggalin blog ini selama lebih dari 1 tahun.
 Setelah dulu sempat meninggalkan juga dan sempat berjanji tidak akan meninggalkan lagi...

Well, kali ini janji kedua akan gw buat. Gw ga akan ninggalin blog ini lagi. :* :))
