virginia moon

posting lirik lagi.. ini yg nyanyi foo fighters & norah jones, manis banget lagunya… hmmmmm

Dearest constellation, heaven surroundin’ you
Stay there, soft and blue. Virginia Moon, I’ll wait for you tonight
Sweetest invitation, breaking the day in two
Feelin’ like I do, Virginia Moon, I’ll wait for you tonight

And now our shades become shadows in your light
In the morning wind we’re through and tomorrow rescues you,
I will say goodnight

Secret fascination, whisper a quiet tune
Hear me callin’ you, Virginia Moon, I’ll wait for you tonight

And now our shades become shadows in your light
In the morning wind we’re through and tomorrow rescues you,
I will say goodnight

Virginia Moon, I’ll wait for you tonight

And now our shades become shadows in your light
In the morning wind we’re through and tomorrow rescues you,
I will say goodnight

I will say goodnight
I will say goodnight

secret love

secret love

Once I had a secret love
that lived within the heart of me
all too soon my secret love
became impatient to be free

So I told a friendly star
the way that dreamers often do
just how wonderful you are
and why I’m so in love with you

Now I shout it from the highest hill
even told the golden daffodils
at last my heart’s an open door
and my secret love’s no secret anymore

original soundtrack of your life

menurut gw hidup kita itu kayak film, ada alurnya, ada grafik emosinya, dengan akhir cerita yang gak pernah bisa ketebak.

seperti film pada umumnya, pasti ada soundtracknya… waktu denger lagu2 tertentu, kita bisa inget adegan2 tertentu yang terjadi pada saat lagu itu diputar.
kalo untuk gw, misal, lagunya Sheila on 7 yg judulnya "Dan" selalu mengingatkan gw dengan aktivitas gw waktu awal2 banget kuliah & ngekost di bandung. atau lagu-lagunya chrisye jaman dulu, selalu mengingatkan gw waktu jaman SD, cinta platonik, dan situasi rumah gw waktu itu. lagu-lagunya vina panduwinata mengingatkan gw pada 2 masa, yaitu masa kecil gw dan masa gw kuliah krn gw pernah pergi ke semarang naek mobil, dan sepanjang jalan kita muter kasetnya vina panduwinata.

atau misalnya kita sedang jatuh cinta, kita dengerin lagu-lagu tentang cinta, yang bikin hati kita berbunga-bunga. kalo sedang patah hati, dengerin lagu-lagu yang bikin hati kita tambah miris…yg mendukung suasana hati kita. tapi ada juga sih, yg lagi patah hati malah ngedengerin lagu-lagu yg bersemangat, untuk mengangkat lagi suasana hatinya..
tiap orang memiliki pilihan yang berbeda dalam memasukkan soundtrack dalam hidupnya. eh tapi kadang, soundtrack itu masuk tanpa sengaja loh.. misal, lo lagi berantem ama temen lo, pas lagi di radio diputerin lagu tertentu..

tapi biasanya, orang baru menyadarinya kalo frame of lifenya saat itu at least meninggalkan kenangan yg mendalam..

ada saatnya juga.. kejadian yg mengesankan dalam hidup lo gak ada soundtracknya.. mungkin kalo di film.. suasananya jadi tegang..tau2.. jderrrr.. ada yg nongol.. haiyaaahh.. apaan seh..

ya gitu deh… how wonderful ya.. kita yg masih bisa mendengar, menikmati indahnya nada2 dalam kehidupan kita. hidup kita jadi lebih meriah.. ya bandingin aja film jaman baheula yg masih film bisu ama film jaman sekarang.

mungkin nada-nada indah dalam musik itu juga bisa terwujud dalam bentuk yg lain. kan Tuhan Maha Adil.. Dia pasti memberikan bentuk lain bagi mereka yg mempunyai kekurangan, yg mungkin tidak bisa mendengar.

hmm.. kayak sekarang.. lg dengerin king of convenience.. di kantor gw, malem2, sambil nginstall program2 di komputer anak kantor, ngelembur..

musik emang selalu jadi temen gw yg paling baik..

smile

Smile though your heart is aching;
Smile even though it’s breaking.
When there are clouds in the sky, you’ll get by.
If you smile through your fear and sorrow,
Smile and maybe tomorrow,
You’ll see the sun come shining through for you.

Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever so near,
That’s the time you must keep on trying,
Smile, what’s the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile,
If you just smile.

That’s the time you must keep on trying,
Smile, what’s the use of crying?
You’ll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

dari email seseorang yg menjadi bagian dari hidup gw di masa lalu…

edgar allan poe
alone

from childhood’s hour i have not been as others were
i have not seen as others saw
i could not bring my passions from a common spring
from the same source i have not taken my sorrow
i could not awaken my heart to joy at the same tone
and all i loved, i loved alone
then, in my childhood, in the dawn
of my most stormy life was drawn
from every depth of good and ill
the mystery which binds me still
from the torrents or the fountain
from the red cliff of the mountain
from the sun that round me rolled
and it’s autumn tint of gold
from the lightning in the sky
as it passed me flying by
from the thunder and the storm
and the cloud that took the form
(when the rest of heaven was blue)
of a demon in my view

*buat esti,
sendiri bukan berarti sendirian….*

nasihat jiwaku

gw lagi buka-buka blog seseorang dan menemukan sebagian kutipan dari tulisan Kahlil Gibran yg berjudul "Nasihat Jiwaku"… dan itu mengingatkan gw, someone dulu jg pernah memberikan sebagian kutipan yg lain buat gw… 6 thn yg lalu

"Jiwaku menasihatiku dan memintaku agar tidak merasa mulia karena pujian
Dan agar tidak disusahkan oleh ketakutan karena cacian
Sampai hari itu aku ragu akan harga pekerjaanku;
Tapi sekarang aku belajar :
Bahwa pohon berbunga di musim semi, dan berbuah di musim panas
Dan menggugurkan daun-daunnya di musim gugur untuk menjadi benar-benar telanjang di musim dingin
Tanpa terasa mulia dan tanpa ketakutan atau malu."

3 days off

enak deh rasanya.. balik dari cuti.. pergi ke kota asal ortu gw & cowo gw; magelang, jogja & temanggung. pulang pergi naek bis malem berdua.. seneng liat pemandangan selama di perjalanan.

gw baru pertama kali ini ke temanggung, kota kecil yg menyenangkan. gile banget.. selama 3 hari jadwal makan gw menjadi kurang lebih 6 kali sehari; sarapan, brunch, lunch, snack, dinner, snack lagi.. hahahaha...
ciiitt… bunciit lah perutkuuuu…makan enak mulu.
kota yg tenang, sesuai dengan yg gw butuhkan.. suasana baru & ketenangan.

oya, gw sempet ke pabrik cerutu & gudang tembakau.. liat cara milih2 tembakau kering, jenis2nya dan cara bikin cerutu, kemudian pulang membawa beberapa box cerutu =P mabok jg euy ama bau tembakau.. weleh…

trus makan2 di tempat yg namanya mang engking..di tengah sawah, daerahnya pokoknya sebelah jogja. lumayan masuk2 ke dalem sih. waktu tempuhnya 2 jam kalo dr temanggung. ngelewatin desa2 gitu. masih hijau.. banyak sawah.. gw suka banget liat sawah. sampe di sana makan udang galah yg guedeee guedeee dan fresh dari tambak. ama makan kepiting..yg gw gak tau dapet dr mana, sizenya keterlaluan banget !!!!! GEDE ABISH..malah ngeri makannya.

pokoknya.. gw selalu dalam keadaan kekenyangan dan beser berat. di setiap pemberhentian selalu mampir ke toilet. *cerita gak penting bgt =P*

eniwei, thanks banget lah buat my dearest. akhirnya ya.. gw ke temanggung jg.. hehehe.. dan gw udah melepaskan kepenatan gw di sana.

skrg.. harusnya my mind dah fresh & siap utk konsentrasi kerja. JIAA YOO…

overjoyed

*perhaps, this song partly could represent his feeling…*

Over time, I’ve building my castle of love
Just for two, though you never knew you were my reason
I’ve gone much too far for you now to say
That I’ve got to throw my castle away

Over dreams, I have picked out a perfect come true
Though you never knew it was of you I’ve been dreaming
The sandman has come from too far away
For you to say come back some other day

And though you don’t believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me

Over hearts, I have painfully turned every stone
Just to find, I had found what I’ve searched to discover
I’ve come much too far for me now to find
The love that I’ve sought can never be mine

And though you don’t believe that they do
They do come true
For did my dreams
Come true when I looked at you
And maybe too, if you would believe
You too might be
Overjoyed, over loved, over me

And though the odds say improbable
What do they know
For in romance
All true love needs is a chance
And maybe with a chance you will find
You too like I
Overjoyed, over loved, over you, over you
