percakapan singkat dgn supir taksi dalam perjalanan dari hotel menuju Bandara Ngurah Rai, Bali :

Q : disini tukang bangunannya orang Jawa ya, Pak. Ga ada orang Bali-nya?

A : iya, yang kerja kasar disini kebanyakan dari Jawa, kalo orang Bali-nya, nanti ga jadi-jadi ngebangunnya. batunya dipahat semua jadi patung.

afternoon soundtrack

jadi kerjaan gue seharian Minggu ini, cuma blogwalking, denger lagu, baca-baca berita via twitter. kalo tadi pagi 'kesambet' Jason Mraz, maka siang-siang begini gue stuck sama lagu Mika yang 'My Interpretation'. berasa pas aja kali ya, liriknya sama suasana hati gue *tsaaahh~
rasanya pengen banget ya, nyanyi-nyanyi ini sambil gue teriakin ke beberapa orang. huehehe. trus, gue koq jadinya inget sama seseorang juga. senior di kampus, yang sempet bermasalah juga sama gue dan temen-temen gue. apa kabar ya dia? semoga sudah hidup tenang sekarang *ngikik anggun*
ahh udah ahh, gue kan udeh janji sama diri gue, ga mau nyinyirin dia lagi. case closed!

You talk about life, you talk about death,
And everything in between,
Like it's nothing, and the words are easy.
You talk about me, and you talk about you,
And everything I do,
Like it's something, that needs repeating.
I don't need an alibi or for you to realize,
The things we left unsaid,
Are only taking space up in our heads.
Make it my fault, win the game
Point the finger, place the blame
You toss me up and down,
It doesn't matter now.

'Cause I don't care if I ever talk to you again.
This is not about emotion,
I don't need a reason not to care what you say,
Or what happened in the end.
This is my interpretation,
And it don't, don't make sense.

The first two weeks turn into ten,
I hold my breath and wonder when it'll happen,
Does it really matter?
If half of what you said is true,
And half of what I didn't do could be different,
Would it make it better?
If we forget the things we know.
Would we have somewhere to go?
The only way is down, I can see that now.
- Mika

morning soundtrack

waking up this morning and this song came up to my mind. Jason Mraz's Try Try Try, suddenly made me think about you. ahh... a lazy Sunday morning, wondering what you posibbly doing. picturing your smile in my depth of thought. so deep, so that no one could reach it, but myself. is there any word that briefly describe about what I feel now? oh yea, I got three : I miss you.
***
"sometimes we do forget to behave and we regret what we say
cause words are too weapons if we don't choose them carefully
...
i know i gave you everything you like
because you still give me butterflies
Are we just dangling in the middle of a galaxy Well i'm stoked on gravity
To be stuck with you like flowers on the dew drops
Now let it in my direction, my direction is up when everybody's down
cause i don't mind being anybody's clown
I love a little lift cause i'm an optimistic
In an altruistic way
 We should just try try try 
 Just to be ni-ni-nice 
 So the world could be a better place for you and I  
 If we just live our lives  
 Putting our differences aside  
Oh that would be so beautiful to me"
- Jason Mraz
***
So, would you, for me, with me, try and try and never give up in everything?
so we can fight together, to whatever barriers we face ahead?
now, I'm getting serious, aren't I? hahaha! ;p

Kpop and thought

12 May 2012

gue cuma mau berbagi pemikiran aja sih. tanpa maksud memberi penilaian apakah ini buruk atau ga. bah! ini apaan deh gue, nulis juga belom :p
oya, gue berharap sih, ga ada penggemar K-Pop alias Korean Pop yang baca postingan ini sih. nope, I won't say something offended or what, I told you, this just gonna be my slight of thought :D

gue tau banget lah, sekarang ini Kpop lagi 'in' banget. sepertinya, 2 tahun terakhir ini genre Kpop sangat happening sekali di Indonesia. liat aja di TV, bertebaran kan boy/girl-band a la-a la Korean style. well, I don't recomend you to watch such a lame tv show yaaa...
kalo gue? hmmm... I must say, that I don't fit with this kind of stuff :D
iyaaa, gue pribadi bukan penggemar 'kokoreaan' ceuk urang Sunda mah. singkatnya, gue ga suka. bukan berarti gue ga coba yaaa, banyak koq temen-temen kampus gue yang penggemar berat Kpop. sangat fanatik malahan. gue pernah nyoba dengerin beberapa lagu dari beberapa boy/girlband terkenal, dan gue ga suka. gue ga bilang jelek yaaa, tapi ini emang masalah selera. as I told earlier, I don't fit with it. 


trus, masalahnya apa? sebenernya gapapa sih, sampe gue menemukan  koq fans Kpop ini sangat  berlebihan yaa. terlalu terobsesi menrut gue. okay, I said this based on observation to some fanatics. tapi ini pasti, ga mencakup semua. jadi gini gini, menurut gue ya, fans Kpop ini, bener-bener 'mendewakan' idola mereka. pernah ya, gue ngumpul bareng sama para fans Kpop ini, dan gue bener-bener blank, karena dari awal duduk bareng, sampe mau cabut pergi lagi, hanya artis Korea yg mereka omongin. nothing else. with the names that sounded similar to me.

ga cuma di dunia nyata, dunia maya pun begitu. seperti di twitter misalnya. gue punya temen yang setiap tweet-nya pasti, lagi ya, hampir pasti semua berkaitan dengan Kpop. entah artis atau band, atau lagu-lagunya. plus, tweet-tweet dengan huruf Hangul. gue sendiri sih, ga begitu merasa terganggu. cuma kadang ga abis pikir aja. ini beneran ya, artis Korea ini 'dewa' sekali di mata mereka.

gue ga merasa ini salah koq. gue pun juga punya idola. gue suka The Strokes. sangat suka malah. the band has been becoming a part of my life since the first time I listened to them. see? I'm a freak too. tapiii, catet yaaa, gue ga mau berlebihan dan ga mau mendewakan mereka. untuk gue yg udah ber'umur' gini, memandang realistis dan kagum seperlunya aja. menikmati, tp bukan 'mengambil-alih' hidup gue.
contoh lain yaa, temennya temen, pernah nonton konser boyband Korea di luar negeri sampe menghabiskan dana 11 juta. yaaa... terserah sih, uang dia jugaaa. tapi kan... hmmm ngerti lah yaa. well, I just think that's too much. tapi yaaa terserah sihh.

yg menarik nih, temen gue @rebornsin pernah nge-tweet tentang Kpop berdasarkan penelitian skripsi temennya. pokonya kira-kira gini, para fans Kpop yang terlalu mendewakan idola mereka, sebenernya ga sadar klo mereka telah terjajah. secara pikiran. ga sadar, sampe mereka bisa marah banget kalo ada yang nyela atau ngomong ga enak soal idolanya. ga sadar terjajah sampe merasa, mereka 'hidup' karena idola mereka itu.

sekali lagi, gue tidak men-judge yaa, ini cuma pemikiran aja sih. menyukai, menggemari, mengidolakan seseorang atau sesuatu, yang normal aja. ga berlebihan. secukupnya aja. masa-masa fanatic-to-a-band itu menurut gue udah lewat. at the age of 20-something, band/penyanyi favorit itu 'cuma' pewarna hidup, yg kalo konser-disini-harus-ditonton mungkin, bukan jadi bagian penting hidup lo lagi.

dan daripada gue makin ngawur karena udah hampir tengah malam, maka baiknya kita sudahi saja tulisan random ini. hahahha...
see ya when I see yaaa ;)
