FIGHT SONG
Rachel Platten Like a small boat On the ocean Sending big waves Into motion Like how a single word Can make a heart open I might only have one match But I can make an explosion And all those things I didn't say Wrecking balls inside my brain I will scream them loud tonight Can you hear my voice this time? This is my fight song Take back my life song Prove I'm alright song My power's turned on Starting right now I'll be strong I'll play my fight song And I don't really care if nobody else believes 'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep Everybody's worried about me In too deep Say I'm in too deep (in too deep) And it's been two years I miss my home But there's a fire burning in my bones Still believe Yeah, I still believe And all those things I didn't say Wrecking balls inside my brain I will scream them loud tonight Can you hear my voice this time? This is my fight song Take back my life song Prove I'm alright song My power's turned on Starting right now I'll be strong I'll play my fight song And I don't really care if nobody else believes 'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me A lot of fight left in me Like a small boat On the ocean Sending big waves Into motion Like how a single word Can make a heart open I might only have one match But I can make an explosion This is my fight song Take back my life song Prove I'm alright song My power's turned on Starting right now I'll be strong (I'll be strong) I'll play my fight song And I don't really care if nobody else believes 'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me Know I've still got a lot of fight left in me Songwriters: Dave Bassett / Rachel Platten Fight Song lyrics © Sony/ATV Music Publishing LLC

Today is our twelfth wedding anniversary. As our ritual almost every years, we went to dinners in our favourite or new restaurant. And so tonight, Wira reserved a table at Skye. A dinner for two. This restaurant famous for the view. Located at 56th floor at Menara BCA makes this restaurant has view to the city of Jakarta. We reserved close to blue hour, eventhough it wasn't blue enough because it was cloudy all day. The food was nice. I really enjoyed the salad and grilled chicken. And I also enjoyed the view from where we seated. It's been twelfth years but it seems like yesterday when we meet up after few short messages and phone call. How you asked me to take you to the place that sell photography equipment because we had the same hobby. We've been through ups and downs and wish many years to come with plenty of happiness in our marriage. I love you today and I'll love you more tomorrow... <3<3<3 "The secret of happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time." Wow...sudah hari terakhir di tahun 2013 saja. Beberapa jam lagi, sudah harus ganti kalender nih. Diluar suara petasan dan kembang api juga sudah mulai terdengar.
Sudah agak lama saya tidak menulis disini. Walaupun sebenarnya banyak yang ingin ditulis, tapi rasanya tidak sanggup mengalahkan rasa malas :) Tapi saya mau menutup tahun ini dengan sebuah tulisan. Last posting for this year. Kecuali tiba-tiba pengen nulis yang lain ;) Tahun ini terasa berlalu sangat cepat walaupun satu hari masih tetap 24 jam. Rasanya baru lewat hari minggu sudah mau minggu lagi. Tapi ternyata bukan hanya saya saja yang merasakan hal itu. Suami saya pun berkata demikian. Apa yang sudah dilakukan tahun ini??? Mmmmhhhh...apa ya??? Ngurusin banyak acara kawinan salah satunya karena kebetulan tahun ini banyak banyak sepupu yang menikah. Hari-hari saya didominasi dengan kegiatan menonton :D Selain memasak & bersih-bersih. Dipenghujung tahun ini saya berhasil menaklukkan rasa malas untuk jalan pagi. Sudah beberapa hari ini saya jalan pagi keliling kompleks. Pengennya tahun depan saya tetap semangat untuk jalan pagi :) Kita lihat saja nanti ;) Tahun ini saya sudah mulai mengumpulkan properti untuk foto-foto makanan. Pengen memperdalam food photography. Mulai belanja kain, mangkuk, gelas dan lain-lain. Semoga saya tidak malas untuk memulainya ;) Selain ingin lebih rajin olahraga dan belajar food photography, saya juga ingin memulai proyek 1 foto setiap hari di tahun 2014. Dengan begitu, saya jadi harus lebih banyak keluar rumah untuk mendapatkan foto-fotonya. Semoga proyek ini juga bisa berjalan lancar :) "Terlambatnya anugerah janganlah membuat dirimu menjadi tidak sabar dalam berdoa sehingga menyurutkan harapanmu akan keterkabulannya. Karena Dia menjamin keterkabulan itu, di dalam sesuatu yang Dia pilihkan untukmu, bukan yang kamu harapkan untuk dirimu. Pada waktu yang Dia kehendaki dan bukan pada saat yang kamu inginkan." (Imam Atha'illah dalam kitab Al Hikam)
Membaca tulisan ini membuatku teringat pengalamanku akhir-akhir ini. Allah punya caranya sendiri untuk memberikan kita yang terbaik. Alhamdulillah atas segala pilihanNya untukku. It started 8 years ago, when he called me on a night. A friend from a cousin of mine. Just want to know more about me. He's in Padang and I'm in Jakarta.
A phone called continue for quite sometimes before we both met. We both love photography and he made photography as a reason to meet me. I took him to shop for a cheap film etc. Beside photography things, he also made his activity as an excused to come to Jakarta. He try to see me everytime he's in town. And call or message me when he's not. Until one day, he decided to ask me became his girlfriend. I wasn't so sure at that time, until a person told me a word and it change my mind set. So we decided 4th of July as first day of our commitment to be a partner and find out if we are a soulmate. He wasn't my criteria for a husband, but God knows better. We chit-chat almost everyday through phone call and short message and meet up once in a while when got into town. Until one day he asked me to be his wife, his partner of life, his soulmate. I didn't decided at once, because I still not sure if he's the one for me. After all the thinking and praying, I decided he might be my soulmate. We decided January 16th, 2005 will be the date to took the vow that we will be together no matter what. Long journey to face with all up and down. And now... Eight years later... I'm happy you found me. I'm happy we make a right decision in our life. We still have a plenty of dream to make come true. Together we will be stronger to face the world. I love you today, and love you more tomorrow...

Akan sering merasa kangen sekali dengan Mamanya.. Lalu bagaimana dengan Papa? Mungkin karena Mama lebih sering menelepon untuk menanyakan keadaanmu setiap hari, tapi tahukah kamu, jika ternyata Papa-lah yang mengingatkan Mama untuk menelponmu? Mungkin dulu sewaktu kamu kecil, Mama-lah yang lebih sering mengajakmu bercerita atau berdongeng, tapi tahukah kamu, bahwa sepulang Papa bekerja dan dengan wajah lelah Papa selalu menanyakan pada Mama tentang kabarmu dan apa yang kau lakukan seharian? Mengapa PERANG harus terjadi?
Mengapa kita harus saling MEMBUNUH? Mengapa kita harus saling MENYAKITI? Tidak adakah lagi rasa MANUSIAWI Sudah tidak kenalkah kita pada PERDAMAIAN Sudah lupakah kita pada CINTA Apakah CINTA dan PERDAMAIAN akan menjadi sesuatu yang langka Tidak adakah lagi penghargaan terhadap HAK ASASI yang dengan susah payah telah kita PERJUANGKAN Alangkah indahnya bumi kita ini Bila ada PEACE, LOVE, UNDERSTANDING Di antara penghuninya *RS18496* NB: Tulisan lama yang kayaknya pas untuk diangkat kembali dengan suasana seperti saat ini... Yesterday I heard a news that my friend's father just passed away after being hospitalized for about a month. So my friends and I went to his home. It may be 10 of us, sitting on the road in front of the house and having a little chat. It was November 25th 2008.
I got home and continue to chat with him on internet until passed midnight and I just realized that at the same date 6 years ago my own father has passed away. What a coincidence... and I just realized it a moment ago. Suddenly I missed him so much... wish he could see me now with all my achievement. I wished I could tell him that I love him so much. I wished I could hug him now. I wished I could thanked him for all the effort that he done to make me like this now. Dear God, put him besides you in your heaven. Please forgive all the mistakes he made. I wish you are happy now in heaven... I love U, Papa... <3 <3 <3 November 25th 2002 - November 25th 2008 You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You're always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can't handle you. You're very intense. You definitely are a handful, and you're likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are a seeker. You often find yourself restless - and you have a lot of questions about life. You tend to travel often, to fairly random locations. You're most comfortable when you're far away from home. You are quite passionate and easily tempted. Your impulses sometimes get you into trouble. dari milis tetangga....
Dalam sebuah seminar rumah tangga, seseorang audience tiba-tiba melontarkan pertanyaan yang sangat lumrah, 'Bagaimana saya tahu kalo saya menikah dengan orang yang tepat?' Saya melihat ada seorang lelaki bertubuh besar duduk di sebelahnya, jadi saya menjawab 'Ya.. tergantung. Apakah pria di sebelah anda itu suami anda?' Dengan sangat serius dia balik bertanya 'Bagaimana anda tahu?!' 'Biarkan saya jawab pertanyaan yang sangat membebani ini.' Inilah jawabannya! Kisah di bawah ini adalah kisah yang saya dapat dari milis alumni Jerman, atau warga Indonesia yg bermukim atau pernah bermukim di sana . Demikian layak untuk dibaca beberapa menit, dan direnungkan seumur hidup.
Saya adalah ibu dari tiga orang anak dan baru saja menyelesaikan kuliah saya. Kelas terakhir yang harus saya ambil adalah Sosiologi. Sang Dosen sangat inspiratif, dengan kualitas yang saya harapkan setiap orang memilikinya. Tugas terakhir yang diberikan ke para siswanya diberi nama "Smiling." Seluruh siswa diminta untuk pergi ke luar dan memberikan senyumnya kepada tiga orang asing yang ditemuinya dan mendokumentasikan reaksi mereka. Setelah itu setiap siswa diminta untuk mempresentasikan didepan kelas. Saya adalah seorang yang periang, mudah bersahabat dan selalu tersenyum pada setiap orang. Jadi, saya pikir,tugas ini sangatlah mudah. Walking through the future branches
I know not about the sharp excrescence on its plants Not knowing about the various thorny shrubs Makes me wonder how painful the thorny future buzz But lying ahead is a shining morning on a thorny curb Legs on the spiny protuberances blemishes Just to get to the shining morning of my future premises Where thorn of mercy, happiness, and joy lays Thorny future filled with opportunity and grace But the thorn on the future path causes sharp pain, irritation, discomfort bath Causing irritation, annoyance, and burns Letting out its anger, hatred and love On the future path filled with thorns Who knows if the shining morning ahead have his own beaming thorns? May be even sharper than the ones on its path and curb. Olufunmbi Aransiola our future
our future is hidden among the vast forests of our soul our future is waiting among the depths of our own ocean our future is yourself you create your future run through the forests swim through your ocean and you will find yourself you your future Zia Jaycee May Trent I don't know why, I like to browsing internet more than finishing my paper?
I can't even help my self to stop writing the blog, but I can't even write a single word on my paper? My brain not even working when I'm doing my paper. Why....oooo....why? Yesterday, I got 2 news that seems to be contradiction.
First I got news from my best-friend that her father passed away in the morning. Her father got really sick in this few weeks. His condition up and down, sometimes good and some other time was bad. When I visited him last saturday, his conditions really bad. But I think this is kinda a good news for him and the family, because I cannot imagine how his life gonna if he still alive right now. It will make him more depress. So I wish he will be happy stay near to our God. May he rest in peace. I got the second news when I was in the cemetery. The news is my other best-friend having a baby. The baby born after the C-section. A cute baby girl named Farha Sabita Asyhari come to the world. Bring the joy to the world. The joy for her parents, grandparents, uncle and aunty, and anybody. There's always people come and go around us. But I always think it is what best for all of us. Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. Robert Frost (1874–1963). Mountain Interval. 1920 Ketika kita bertemu orang yang tepat untuk dicintai, ketika kita berada di tempat pada saat yang tepat, itulah kesempatan. Ketika kita bertemu dengan seseorang yang membuatmu tertarik, itu buka pilihan, itu kesempatan. Bertemu dalam suatu peristiwa bukanlah pilihan, itupun adalah kesempatan.
Bila kita memutuskan untuk mencintai orang tersebut, bahkan dengan segala kekurangannya, itu bukan kesempatan, itu adalah pilihan. Ketika kita memilih bersama dengan seseorang walaupun apapun yang terjadi, Itu adalah pilihan. Bahkan ketika kita menyadari bahwa masih banyak orang lain yang lebih menarik, lebih pandai, lebih kaya daripada pasanganmu dan tetap memilih untuk mencintainya, itulah pilihan. Perasaan cinta, simpatik, tertarik, datang bagai kesempatan pada kita. Tetapi cinta sejati yang abadi adalah pilihan. Pilihan yang kita lakukan. Berbicara tentang pasangan jiwa, ada suatu kutipan dari film yang mungkin sangat tepat : "Nasib membawa kita bersama, tetapi tetap bergantung pada kita bagaimana membuat semuanya berhasil" Pasangan jiwa bisa benar-benar ada. Dan bahkan sangat mungkin ada seseorang yang diciptakan hanya untukmu. Tetapi tetap berpulang padamu Untuk melakukan pilihan apakah engkau ingin melakukan sesuatu untuk mendapatkannya, atau tidak... Kita mungkin kebetulan bertemu pasangan jiwa kita, tetapi mencintai dan tetap bersama pasangan jiwa kita, adalah pilihan yang harus kita lakukan. Kita ada di dunia bukan untuk mencari seseorang yang sempurna untuk dicintai TETAPI untuk belajar mencintai orang yang tidak sempurna dengan cara yang sempurna. cited from www.dudung.net |
