Vanessa Carlton

Do you know the song titled “A Thousand miles” from Vanessa Carlton? By the way, where is she now? She’s never been heard again. Back then the song was so famous. Most radio stations and TV played the songs. It became my favorite song among other songs that I like. Out of the blue I want to talk about the song. Maybe, just maybe it described how I am now. People said I am very picky in choosing my future man. Aren’t we supposed to do so? We have to pick the right man. The man who at least makes us feel something and ready to be committed. I am not talking about high school romance like those in movies or drama. Maybe we own the same religion, the same ideas about something but if I somehow don’t have any feelings for him, can we be united? It worked for some people, but I guess it doesn’t for me. Not that religion is not important; still the similarity of faith is much more important because that’s the basic thing. Many times I feel hopeless and lost in crowds. Many times I have open eyes widely; still he is nowhere to be found up till now. A feeling of pessimistic sometimes appeared. It whispered in my ears to just give up on what I have believed so far; to just accept a man who truly loves me and make my own feelings numb. Will it work? It worked in the case of my parents. They are still together till now. I know that once we get married, our husband has all the rights (except to torture us mentally and physically of course) on us, as the wife. I can’t imagine when the time he asks me to do the intimate intercourse, won’t I feel like he is raping me? Or if I don’t feel like that, maybe I will never be able to return his honest feelings for me. That I think will be so horrible. Sometimes I just ignore the feelings and live the life the way it is. Yet, once in a while that feeling of needing and being loved by someone emerges into the surface. That is the time when I feel so … so pathetic and tired.
I am writing this story while listening to the song. Every lyric seems to reveal all the words that I couldn’t say. It speaks for me. I am the kind of person that easily melted by kindness and attention. It has something to do with the past which I don’t feel like sharing it here. It will be such an outstanding thing if he can see me, not just physically. He will directly win my heart. So, one of my best friends said that I am easily to fall in love. She might make her point. I told you kindness and attention can win me easily. She added that I up to now have never really been in love with a man. Is that true? Could be, because I don’t get the answer. Now, I am just hoping I will stumble upon him this time. We both can recognize each other. No more sad lyric and pessimistic in my life.
My biggest questions will be “Who are you? Where are you? “What do you look like?” just so I won’t miss you again this time. Good Luck!

Aku Ingin Nonton Bareng Bapak

Aku Ingin Nonton Bareng Bapak Akhir-akhir ini aku sering teringat Bapaku. Suasana rumah pun terasa hambar. Perasaan rumah terasa membosankan. Tanggal 25 September ini akan ada film Laskar pelangi. Bapa suka sekali bukunya. Aku ingin nonton bersama Bapa. Aku ingin melihat reaksi beliau saat sedih karena terharu dan tertawa karena lucu. Bapak, aku rindu....

Dora The Explorer Dan Oreo Termahal

Dora the Explorer Dan Oreo Termahal Badan pegal – pegal karena terpenjara selama lebih dari lima jam. Ditambah lagi harus berhimpitan di kerumunan manusia saat festival. Begitu masuk ke dalam  subway , yang pertama kali ingin kulakukan adalah tidur. Ah leganya ketika kulihat ada kursi kosong yang bisa kududuki. Enaknya bisa selonjoran untuk mehilangkan rasa pegal di kaki. Rupanya ketika aku tertidur, muridku iseng mengambil foto diriku yang sedang tertidur. Refleks aku terbangun. Begitu tersadar, tiba – tiba muncul seorang anak kecil bersama ibunya. Mereka berdiri tepat di hadapanku. Harusnya aku beri kursi itu pada mereka tapi ada sedikit kebingungan soal memberi tempat duduk di Korea atau di Jepang. Terkadang para orang tua menolak tawaran tersebut. Terlebih lagi jika kita menawarkan kursi itu pada orang yang masih muda. Salah satu alasan yang kutahu adalah mereka tak ingin terlihat seperti orang tua. Maka, tak heran jika beberapa orang tua pun terkadang menolak diberi ...

Naga Bonar Jadi 2

Baru-baru ini aku dikejutkan oleh film Indonesia. Sudah lama setelah Jomblo aku ga nonton film Indonesia lagi (abis yang berkeliaran banyaknya hantu2 mulu sih). Jomblo keren banget. Akhirnya ada film yang bikin aku ngakak bukan ketakutan ga karuan. Tapi tetep novelnya lebih bikin aku ngakak (aku ketawa2 sendirian di bis). Sekarang ada film keren yang lain. Isinya lebih mantap. Di film ini aku bisa merasa sedih, lucu, malu dan miris. Dedi Mizwar keren banget. Sebelum ini ada juga film Indonesia yang keren. Kalo ga salah judulnya simbol. Itu tuh yang ada ayam jagonya. Tokoh anaknya dan temen2nya kayaknya kalah keren sama tokoh bapaknya, Naga Bonar. Trus masih lebih keren juga dari tokoh supir bajaj, polisi dan tukang karpet (Indra Birowo). Pemain yang lainnya aktingnya masih harus lebih diasah kayaknya (sok banget aku). Film ini aku masukan dalam kategori must see movie. Yang ga doyan film Indonesia, kamu mesti check yang satu ini. Ini beda dari yang lain. Pulang dari bios...
