grasak grusuk

Senin kemarin, pas mau pulang sekitar jam 5an, jalan dengan langkah gontai karena pagi udah bawa tas berat2 buat pitnes, gak jadi gara2 sakit kepala, berasa ditusuk2 jarum, dan menggigil dari pagi yang bikin badan gemeteran, tiba2 nerima telpon dari salah seorang teman. Dia ngajakin ketemuan besoknya, nanya pake whatsapp, udah bales, tapi ternyata gak nyampe. Rrrr, whatsapp pegimane sih?

Dan ternyata dia nawarin gw, sesuatu. Ehm, sekali lagi, SESUATU. Enak yah ternyata ngomong sesuatu, muahhahahahaha... Eniwei, enihau, enihuu, dia nawarin SESUATU yang lumayan menggiurkan. Tapi ada cacat sih di tawaran dia, kalo gak berhasil, gw mati banget. Akhirnya, karena sedang galau dan emosi dan labil macem abege, gw ambil tawaran itu, dengan pemikiran... eh nggak deng, gw gak mikir. Keputusan yang murni dibuat pake emosi, gak pake logika. Yah maklum yah, namanya juga perempuan. *siul2sumbang

Pas lagi di jalan, lagi di tol, gw baru mikir. "Eh mati, kalo rencana ini gak berjalan lancar, I lose almost all the things I've got". Mau batalin, gengsi, nanti dikira cupu. Jadi ya udah, stick to the plan aja, gagal apa nggak, liat nanti. Dan besoknya kita berdua jadi ketemuan. Buat ngomongin rencana dia, dan rencana gw, dan rencana kita berdua. Dan ternyata ada sedikit perubahan rencana, yang bikin gw gak mati2 bangetlah kalo gagal, cuma mati perlahan2. Eh gak ngepek yah? Sama aja yah?

Tapi ada yang bikin gw agak yakin, gw nanya ke temen kantor gw si Ripki, nanya apakah rencana ini cukup oke, dia bilang oke. Coba aja dulu, katanya, ini oke koq. Nanya ke temen gw yang satu lagi, si Mirabi, yang selama ini selalu menentang rencana bunuh diri gw, yang gw yakin banget dia bakal gak setuju, ternyata dia setuju! Agak diluar dugaan, tapi dia ngedukung banget. Jadi bikin gw makin yakin, it's worth a try.

Sekarang cuma bisa pasrah, gagal atau berhasil, apapun hasilnya, semoga nanti masih bisa mikir "this is what's best for me according His decision". Jadi rencana grasak grusuk ini, rencana tabrak lari ini, rencana bunuh diri ini, gw pasrahin aja, pasrah sepasrah2nya. Terserah deh Tuhan, saya nurut aja. Mau dihempas kemana aja, gimanapun caranya, sesakit apapun nantinya, jika Kau pikir ini yang terbaik, saya nurut ajah. Gak bisa ngapa2in juga.

But before You do that,
please please please,
You must be really, REALLY sure
this is what's best for me.
And after that,
gimme strength,
to get through it.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,
yuk melangkah...

Jason Mraz - Mr. Curiosity

Hey Mr. Curiosity
Is it true what they've been saying about you,
well are you killing me?
You took care of the cat already
And for those who think it's heavy
Is it the truth
Or is it only gossip?
Call it mystery or anything
Just as long as you call me
I sent the message on did you get it when I left it?
Said well this catastrophic event
It wasn't meant to mean no harm
But to think there's nothing wrong is a problem

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
This love is a mystery
Mr. Curious...

Come back to me

Mr. waiting ever patient can't you see
That I'm the same the way you left me
In a hurry to spell check me
And I'm underlined already in envy green
And pencil red
And I've forgotten what you've said
Will you stop working for the dead and return
A Mr. curious well I need some inspiration
It's my birthday and I cannot find no cause for celebration
The scenario is grave but I'll be braver when you save me
From this situation laden with hearsay, oh

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
This love is a mystery
Mr. Curiosity
Hey mr. please
Do come and find me

I'm looking for love this time
Sounding hopeful but it's making me cry
(Trying not to ask why)
Cause love is a mystery
Mr. curiosity
Be Mr. please
Do come and find me

Love is blinding when your timing's never right
Oh but who am I to beg for difference
Finding love in just instant
But I don't mind
Oh at least I've tried,
and I tried, I tried

This is one of the best that Mr. AtoZ wrote so far, and this is the song I love the most at this album Mr. A-Z, his second album. I don't really like his first album, maybe because I never listen to it carefully, but come on, that album was released when I was in SHS, when I prefer another genre of music. And I only like The Remedy and You and I Both from his first album. And the third album was great actually, quite great. But still, the second album is the best album I love the most... so far...

And this song, Mr. Curiosity, damn, I really can not find the right words to explain. Okay, the melody is just so hurting, you know the sound of the piano scratches your heart and leave it in pain. And Jason's voice is just so incredible. He sounds like so much in pain, and the opera part make it even more perfect. And the lyric is just so beautifully hurting. Damn. I love this song, a lot.

tiga kata sederhana

Tiga kata
tidak banyak
cukup sedetik
untuk diucapkan

tiga kata
cukup singkat
terlalu singkat
untuk dinyatakan

tiga kata
berharap diutarakan
menunggu dibebaskan
tanpa paksaan

tiga kata
ingin kusampaikan
setiap detik
saat denganmu
atau tanpa dirimu

tiga kata
tak akan pernah cukup
untuk merangkum
atau sekedar merengkuh
seluruh rasaku
untukmu

tiga kata
yang sederhana
senantiasa selalu
selamanya untukmu

Viva La Lego Vida

Kemarin iseng buka twitter, dan ada twitan dari band dengan salah satu vokalis paling ganteng dan seksi sedunia bernama Chris Martin, Coldplay. Biasanya twitan mereka adalah untuk promosi album mereka yang akan keluar 24 September nanti, Xylo Myloto (eh apa Mylo Xyloto? yah itulah ya pokoknya) dan promosiin single terbaru mereka yang akan keluar 12 September nanti, "paradise". Tapi mereka cuma nulis Viva La Lego, diikuti dengan URL ke youtube. Gw klik, gw pantengin, dan akhirnya keluarlah videoklip Viva La Vida dengan versi lego. Lucu abis...

Gw suka Coldplay. Gw suka Lego. Jadi ngeliat Viva La Lego tuh bikin deg2ser banget.

Dan tadi iseng banget liat facebook. And of my close friend at SHS, Zakia, shared the link of video of Rivers "Weezer" who covered Viva La Vida. Ya ampun, dua hari berturut2 gw dibombardir dengan serangan Viva La Vida, is it a sign? Is it destiny? That I will be with you, Chris Martin? *minta digeplak

Tapi beneran Chris Martin tuh gantengnya keterlaluan. Bukan ganteng ala foto model murahan, tapi sampe auranya juga ganteng. Okay, nuff talking about that cutey dovey guy... Let's talk about the song, Viva La Vida.

Viva La Vida itself means Long Live Life in Spanish. Many speculators said this song is all about the French Revolution because of the following line: "Now the old king is dead, long live the king". It is a line that being shouted when Louis XV was dead and his grandson, Louis XVI should be the king. Even it is a common line for the death of king of monarch, but I don't know why, I always remember the death of Louis XV when I heard this line.

But for a girl who is in love, I guess it is a love song. Well, the meaning of a song could be interpreted by its listeners and their mood, right? *wink

How could this song be interpreted to a love song? Well, I guess the first verse is talking about the life I had before I met that guy, the guy I fall for. When I thought my world is pretty pretty, something fucked up, but still pretty pretty. But when I met him, and fell for him, and saw how he could turn my world upside down, made me realized that my so called happiness was built upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand. And my world is pretty ugly. And the following lines could be translated, from my point of view, that people waiting for the time of despair defeats me:

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

And the best line that hurt me a lot, I mean, a lot, is: I know St. Peter won't call my name. Because I know I'm doing whatever it takes just to reach him, and love him, don't give a damn if it's right or wrong. So I know St. Peter won't call my name when he is guarding the Gates of Heaven.

Damn, this song is good... You're genius, totally genius, Coldplay...

pantai dan laut saat itu

Malam itu,
laut malam terhampar di depan kita
"Maaf kita tidak dapat melihat matahari terbenam,"
katamu
Kuharap kamu dapat melihat kealpaan rasa tidak puas
yang tersirat jelas di wajah gembiraku

Saat itu,
laut malam terbentang luas di depan kita
"Bukankah kamu benci laut dan pantai?"
tanyamu
"Ya, tapi hanya jika tanpamu,"

Taman Monas, malam itu

Di bangku taman itu
kita menikmati malam
merasakan sentuhan angin
membelai dengan mesra

Di bangku taman itu
kita mengamati malam
melihat hamparan langit
yang nyaris tanpa bintang

Di bangku taman itu
kita berbagi tawa
menyusuri jejak langkah berdua
penuh suka tanpa setitik luka

Di bangku taman ini,
aku masih mencintaimu
walau tanpa suara langkahmu
walau tanpa kamu
disisiku
