"People should fall in love with their eyes closed."

-Andy Warhol

bukan salahnya

bukan salah indonesia.

kalau ada yang mau disalahin juga,

salahin warganya dong.

kenapa gak bisa ngejaga?

jakarta banjir.

jakarta macet.

kenapa mengeluh?

siapa ulahnya?

siapa suruh buang sampah sembarangan?

akibatnya apa: banyak sampah, selokan mampet.

ada hujan, jadi banjir.

karena banjir, jadi macet. terlalu banyak kendaraan pribadi.

banjir:

banyak orang gak mampu kehilangan tempat tinggalnya.

di rumah rumah kecil mereka, yang sangat gak layak untuk ditinggalin, hanyut.

buku sekolah, semuanya lenyap.

anak anak yang niat belajar. yang mau sukses.

satu satunya harapan masa depan.

kenapa sih gak mau pake transportasi umum aja? rame. sumpek. sempit.

kenapa semua orang harus punya mobil?

emang penting sih, tapi jadi malah berpolusi.

padahal deket, tapi kenapa tetep harus pake mobil?

padahal kan, pikir deh.

kalo misalnya transportasi umum jadi lebih banyak dipakai lagi,

dana nya bisa dipakai untuk memperbagus dan memperbanyak kendaraan umum.

tapi... kata warga, 'gak mau ah, nanti di korupsi.'

nah, warganya aja gak ada kepercayaan.

have a little trust in those people, they might change.

bukannya bermaksud sok filosofis, atau sok ngerti hal beginian.

karena gw jg selalu bertanya tanya.

kapan indonesia bisa berubah?

kata beberapa orang2,' 1 orang gak bakal merubah sama sekali.'

tapi, menurut gw itu bullshit.

karena gw yakin, dengan 1 orang aja, semuanya bisa berentet, jadi kayak satu rantai.

lanjut jadi banyak.

be someone who will make that change.

it doesn't have to be something really huge.

small things do matter.

just...

have a little trust. and faith.

i love indonesia

what the eye catches

the topic that goes into my mind: the look.

have you ever wondered why nowadays everything is all about the look?

gak heran sih, namanya manusia, apalagi yang namanya perempuan, pasti pingin keliatan oke setiap saat. (catetan: gak semuanya.)

tapi (pertanyaan lagi), kenapa? kenapa mereka mau keliatan cantik setiap saat?

sebenernya sih jawabannya banyak;

ada yang emang suka keliatan cantik, ada juga yang emang cantik (mau diapain lagi?hahaha), dan seterusnya. banyak deh pokoknya alasannya. tapi, kebanyakan yang gw lihat di karakteristik orang2 Indonesia, karena mereka mau impress cowok cowok.

kadang suka bingung deh.

emang sih, first impression itu penting banget.

beberapa orang pernah bilang, kalo first impression itu tuh gak penting.

buat apa kalo orang nya cantik tapi hatinya gak banget? mendingan gak cantik tapi baik kan?

tapi mau gimana pun, di jaman kayak gini, gak usah munafik, pasti orang liat dari tampang dulu kan.

aaaah biasa deh,kalo ngeblog, jadi bingung sendiri. hehehe.

oh iya,kenapa gue menggunakan kata 'orang2 Indonesia' di kalimat atas?

soalnya, sahabat terdekat gue yang di amerika pernah bilang 'tau gak, di sini tuh, orang2 lokalnya gak peduli mereka gendut atau kurus. mereka gak harus merasa gak nyaman kalau pake baju apa, mereka bisa pede-pede aja, mereka bisa jadi diri mereka sendiri'

yah, tapi gak nyalahin juga. gak semua tempat dan waktu bisa sama.

intinya, gue kadang masih bertanya tanya.

kalo jaman dulu 2 orang bisa saling mencintai tanpa liat kondisi fisik, kenapa jaman sekarang gak bisa?

clueless

i remember i used to have lots of topics and ideas to post on my blog.

but now, i really don't know what to say anymoreeee...

10-10-2010

i like fancy dates.

it's not that special stuffs happened on those days but... their numbers are just catchy.

and cute :3

i would start on saying how 'time flies so fast' but honestly i think it's getting old but bleh, whatever. :p

i remember it was just few weeks ago when i graduated, and did the gcse's, even got myself an exclusive experience of getting 'sensi'-ed by my english (subject) teacher. ah, those times weren't easy but i miss them anyway.. hahaha.

i remember coming to everyone's 'farewell' dinner and stuff, when I don't even throw one.

i remember stuffs. and i hella miss them.

it's the 10th of october now.

i remember last month getting excited for the next week of last month because that's the time when i'm gonna turn 16. and I did.

i remember how every march i would envy angie for turning older than me and in the end i'll say 'haa you're old'.

i honestly don't know where i'm going to be in the next 10 years. or even next year.

i remember i don't even know the meaning of 'liu shi san' when i first came here and now i could bargain for clothes without anyone's help in a shopping place and i don't have to pay more for it. i feel proud, hehe.

see i even remember idk what to post in my blog but now i can't stop typing.

ya sudah deh i think i really should stop saying stuffs here.

i know, i talk way too much.

Speak Now - Taylor Swift

I am not the kind of girl
who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion.
But you are not the kind of boy
who should be marrying the wrong girl.

I sneak in and see your friends,
and her snotty little family
all dressed in pastel.
And she is yelling at a bridesmaid
somewhere back inside her room
wearing a gown shaped like a pastry.

This is surely not what you thought it would be.
I lose myself in a daydream.
Where I stand and say.

Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door.
Don't wait, or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
and they said speak now.

Fond gestures are exchanged
and the organ starts to play a song that sounds like a death march.
and I am hiding in the curtains
It seems that I was uninvited by your lovely bride to be.

She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen.
I know you wish it was me
you wish it was me
don't you?

Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door.
Don't wait, or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
and they said speak now.
Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door.
Don't wait, or say a single vow
your time is running out
and they said speak now.

Ooooh, ooooh.

I hear the preacher say
Speak now or forever hold your peace.
There's a silence
There's my last chance
I stand up with shaking hands
all eyes on me.
Horrified looks from everyone in the room,
But I'm only looking at you.

I am not the kind of girl
who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion.
But you are not the kind of boy
who should be marrying the wrong girl.

So Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door.
Don't wait, or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
and they said speak now.

And you'll say let's run away now
I'll meet you when I'm out of my tux at the back door.
Baby, I didn't say my vows
so glad you were around when they said
Speak Now.

a little piece of heaven - a7x

’Cause I really always knew that my little crime

would be cold that's why I got a heater for your thighs
and I know, I know it's not your time
but bye, bye
and a word to the wise when the fire dies
you think it's over but it's just begun
baby don't cry

You had my heart, at least for the most part
’cause everybody's gotta die sometime, we fell apart
let's make a new start
’cause everybody's gotta die sometime yeah
but baby don't cry

i fell in love with the lyrics.

when sometimes a piece of paper is the only place to tell...

Mine - Taylor Swift

Listening to this song and I feel like posting the lyrics here.

Mine - Taylor Swift

"You were in college working part time waiting tables
Left a small time never looked back.
I was the fly at risk with the fear of fallin
Wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts

I say 'Can you believe it?"
As we’re lying on a couch
The moment I can see it
Yes yes I can see it now

Do you remember we were sitting there about the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Flash forward and we're been taking on the world together
And there is a drawer of my things at your place
You learned my secrets and you figured out why I’m guarded
You say we'll never made my parents’ mistakes.

But we’ve got bills to pay
We’ve got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take yes yes
This is was I thought about

Do you remember we were sitting there by the water
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Do you remember all the city lights on the water
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Woah oh oo

And I remember that fight two thirty AM
Cause everything was slipping right out of my hands
And I ran out crying and you followed me out into the street

Braised myself for a goodbye
Cause that’s all I’ve ever known
And you took me by surprise
You said ‘I’ll never leave you’ oh oh

You said
“I remember how we felt sitting about the water
And every time I look at you is like the first time
I fell in love with careless man’s careful daughter
She is the best thing that’s ever been mine”

Hold on
Make it last
Hold on
Never turn back

You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter
You are the best thing that's ever been mine

Woah oh
Yeah yeah…Do you believe it ?

Woah oh
We’re gonna make it now.

Woah oh
And I can see it yeah yeah

And I can see it now, See it now, See it now"

Selamat Hari Batik 2010!

UNESCO designated Indonesian batik as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity on October 2, 2009. As part of the acknowledgment, UNESCO insisted that Indonesia preserve their heritage.

So, since it's the 2nd of October 2010, then I would like to wish Indonesians a very happy Batik day!

I'm proud to say that I'm an Indonesian, and I loveeeeee batik :)
