Books : Tumtum and Nutmeg

Tumtum and NutmegTumtum and Nutmeg by Emily Bearn

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Lovee it!! From the really beautiful cover and a charming story from the mice's point of view.

And I have to admit even though I feel kinda annoyed with "mice" and "rats" in real life, but to read how Tumtum was being poisoned by the human, it made me pitied him and wished he didn't eat that poison, huhuhu..

Can't wait to read another stories from this series ;)

Private Practice : The Cause

Topic starter : Tuesday, February 8, 2011 (3:19 pm)

Another TV series that I like is "Private Practice", let's just hope that series won't end before "Castle" starts airing again on TV, ahahaha :p

There's one interesting scene on the "Triangle" episode.

There's this family with a teenage daughter who has "imaginary" friend, but after a psychiatric had a session with that girl, he told the parents that their daughter might suffer schizophrenia.

The father denied harsh the psychiatric's diagnose whileas the mother whom at first also felt uncertain and agreed with her husband that the psychiatric might be wrong, that her daughter ain't "crazy", it was just an anxiety for having to move to new place.

But after calmed down, she started to think that the psychiatric might be right cause she remembered that her daughter had changed even before they moved to another town.

And on one of the psychiatric's session, the daughter opened up to the psychiatric that sometimes her imaginary friend, Eli, made her do some things she didn't like, for example one time Eli forced her to drown her cat just because Eli was jealous when the daughter spent time with her cat. She said she didn't want to do it but she couldn't say no to Eli.

Isn't it frightening?

But the father still refused to let the doctor give some medications for his daughter.. he consistently said that he wasn't going to let them locked her up in her room and didn't let him see her.

Then the psychiatric out of nowhere popped the question, "Who did they let you go away?"

The father was in silence for a while before revealing about his past where her sister was diagnosed with mental illness and got locked up and ended up having suicide.. and he just didn't want the same thing happen to his daughter, especially when he felt guilty cause he felt like it was his fault that his daughter suffered the same thing like his sister.

That was the scene, hahaha..

But I find it's interesting what the psychiatric asked.. for I'm with him, huehehehe.. I believe there's a reason why we behave the way we behave like we behave at the moment.

We just don't automatically become the way we are right now for we are shaped by every little things that happen in the past, good or bad, they all took part in making us like us today.

But most of the time, we tend to bury our sad, heartbreaking pasts.. deep deep down.. and didn't even realize that those things did affect our lives now.

It's always nice watching something like this, haha.. I know it now I don't like when the "hospital" stories or doctors' stories are too medical.. I like it more when they have more "human" touch, that is why I was never into "ER" and more into "Chicago Hope" :D

Masih ingat ama postingan gua tentang "tantangan di minggu pertama di bulan Februari"? Tentu aja kalo elo ngubek2 postingan gua, ngga bakal nemu dengan judul seperti itu, wakakakakak.. karena emang judul postingannya bukan itu :p

Anywayy.. gua berhasil menyelesaikan "tantangan" pertama di minggu pertama Februari dengan tidak mengkonsumsi Indomie selama 7 hari, huahahhaa.. ini merupakan suatu pencapaian tersendiri buat gua :p

Nah nahh.. ternyataa.. 2 temen gua lainnya, cuman tahan sehari aja menjalankan tantangan mereka, haha.. di hari kedua pada berguguran, huhuhu.. And gua pun kembali ada di persimpangan jalan, antara mo ngelanjutin "komitmen" jangka seminggu ini atauu.. yukk marii ikut melanggar aja, hahahaha..

Tapii akhirnya gua putuskan to keep on going aja karena toh nanggung, pas gua tau temen ke-2 gua juga udah tidak bisa menahan 'godaan', toh hanya tinggal 2 hari lagi yang tersisa untuk melanjutkan komitmen ini, jadii.. ayoo aja dhe mending diterusin, hahaha..

And setelah berhasil melewati minggu pertama.. gua jadi pengen menetapkan untuk minggu kedua ini another "tantangan" lainnyaa.. and yang kali inii..

Hmm.. lagi mikir sih mungkin mo tidur jam 10 paling telat, hahahaha.. ini jelas susaaaahhh..

Tapii.. mo diusahakan dhe!

Soo.. for this 2nd week of Februaryy.. gua mencanangkan untuk tidur jam 10 malam!

Semoga berhasil!

"Life is fragile.. and we really don't know when our time is up and it's time for us to leave this world."

My cousin's 2 closed friends passed away this year, one was only 25 years old girl and the one who died earlier today was on his 23rd or 24th!

Mann.. how young they are!

I've lived more than 5 years longer than them.

Has it ever crossed your mind how much time left that you have in this world?

What would you like to do in your remaining time?

Some say that when you've realized that you do have a very limited time, only at that time it comes to your senses that life's too precious to be wasted on unnecessary arguments, etc.

Hmm..

Most Clicked Per 8 Feb 2011

Topic starter : Selasa, 8 Februari 2011

Aahh.. jadi nyesel kenapaaa bulan Januari kemaren gua kaga nulis "most clicked" inii.. padahal cukup menarik untuk disimak di mana terjadi beberapa pergeseran yang dalam perhitungan hari ituu kembali terjadi pergeseran yang cukup mengundang decak kagum, ahahaha..

Mari kita liat dulu posisi per 8 Februari 2011 berikut ini..

1. Handsome Parades : Kim Bum

2. Capung

3. Handsome Parades : Football Edition

4. Song : How Can I Not Love You?

5. Handsome Parades : Lee Min Ho

6. Seperti Rusa Yang Haus

7. Sunday Messages : Lord, I Love You

8. Song : Listen

9. Sunday Messages : Quiet Mind

10. Korean Series : Still Want To Marry


Per tengah bulan Januari lalu, gua inget bangets emang si "How Can I Not Love You?" itu udah mengancam posisi Lee Min Ho karena beda click-nya itu tipis bangets boo, hanya dalam hitungan kurang dari 10! Jadi in a way gua juga udah yakin hanya tinggal tunggu waktu sebelon Lee Min Ho kedepak dan harus kembali berpuas diri menempati urutan ke-5, karena jangankan bisa menggeser Kim Bum dari singgasana tahta nomor 1, tapii.. mempertahankan posisi 4 aja sulit, ahahahaha..

Dari sejak pertama kali seri most clicked ini diluncurkan, Kim Bum masih bertahan di posisi pertama tanpa tergoyahkan boo!

And berhubung stats-nya lagi otree, mari kita liat berapa kali diklik-kah masing2 postingan yang masuk top 10 ituu?

Kim Bum : 1.617
Capung : 1.486
Football Edition : 996
How Can I Not Love You : 973
Lee Min Ho : 954
Seperti Rusa Yang Haus : 534
Listen : 267
Lord, I Love You : 246
Quite Mind : 238
Still Want To Marry : 223

Naahh.. dengan posisi Kim Bum yang jauh di atas angin and Capung juga menguntit dengan meninggalkan pesaing terdekat jauuh di belakang masih untuk sementara waktu masih harus membiasakan diri melihat duet Kim Bum dan Capung masih mendominasi peta postingan yang paling sering dikunjungi!

And hanya tinggal tunggu waktu aja sebelon "How Can I Not Love You" akan menyalip "Football Edition" sementara Lee Min Ho masih harus bersusah payah untuk mengejar ketertinggalan!

Bila di kawasan tengah, si Rusa yang Haus bisa uncang2 kaki tanpa kuatir akan tersalip oleh yang di bawahnya sementara ia juga bisa santai2 aja tanpa ngerasa ngoyo harus mengejar yang di atasnya, lalu bagaimana dengan pasukan di baris bawah?

Hohoho.. itu pertarungan sengit berusaha untuk tetap ada dalam daftar sambil berusaha untuk menyikut dan berlari sekuat tenaga untuk menyusul yang ada di atas mereka! 4 baris terbawah masih terbuka lebar kesempatan untuk saling menyusul dan menggeser, hohoho, pasti akan kita saksikan pertarungan yang menarik untuk disimak!

Well, anywayy.. I lovee seeing pergeseran ini, hahaha.. iseng aja sih, cuman menarik aja untuk melihat2 terjadinya naik turun seperti ini.

Song : Temporary Home

Topic starter : Sunday, February 6, 2011 (6:54 am)

I firstly knew about this song when I was watching American Idol's audition and one of the contestant sang this song wholeheartedly that made Jennifer Lopez had tears in her eyes.


~.*.~

"Temporary Home"
Carrie Underwood

Little boy, six years old
A little too used to being alone
Another new mom and dad, another school
Another house that'll never be home

When people ask him how he likes this place
He looks up and says with a smile upon his face

This is my temporary home
It's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passing through
This is just a stop on the way to where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know
This is my temporary home

Mmm..

A young mom on her own
She needs a little help, got no where to go
She's looking for a job, looking for a way out
Cause a half-way house will never be a home

At night she whispers to her baby girl
Someday we'll find our place here in this world

This is our temporary home
It's not where we belong
Windows and rooms that we're passing through
This is just a stop on the way to where we're going
I'm not afraid because I know
This is our temporary home

Old man, hospital bed
The room is filled with people he loves
And he whispers, "Don't cry for me,
I'll see you all someday"

He looks up and says,
"I can see God's face"

This is my temporary home
It's not where I belong
Windows and rooms that I'm passing through
This was just a stop on the way to where I'm going
I'm not afraid because I know
This was my temporary home

Mmm..

This is our temporary home

~.*.~


Temporary home.

Like it or not, whether we want to admit it or not, we do have limited time here on Earth cause we're not living for eternity in this place we might have called a "home".

A friend of mine said that someone's death, especially the ones that we knew in person, had always been a wake up call to remind us from time to time that life is short, we never know when our time is up and we're no longer be in this Earth.

No matter how hard the situation we have to face right now, things are just temporary that soon will get better, or worse, but they all will come to an end at some points, and that including our own breath.

Have we prepared ourselves well for our life in eternity or have we been focusing too much on our temporary lives?

Nice song, Carrie.. thanks for reminding me that it's just a stop to where I'm going :)

Happy Sundayy..

I was making some room in my cellphone's inbox and before I deleted the messages, I reread them again and I typed them in my blog before deleting them, wakakakak..

I know, I knoww.. somehow I feel those messages are like "treasure" for me ;)

Anywayy.. there's one interesting message among the others, it's about one eternal question and discussion, loving yourself, huehehe..

I believe I have asked about this before, either in this blog or in my other blog(s).

In her message, a friend of mine wrote something that made me think, she said, "I don't think I have loved myself completely cause if I had, I surely won't get down or be stressed out."

Hmm.. is that so?

I believe the term of loving ourself itself is a dynamic one, which means it can go ups and downs..

And just because once in a while you get stressed out or feel down, doesn't mean that you hate yourself, right? Cause sometimes what you have to go through might put you under soo much pressures that it's 'normal' to feel down, just as long as you don't stay down for well, forever, ahahahaha :p

But as for the practical and applicable way to let yourself know that you love yourself, what's on the list? Hmm hmm..

How about your own perspective? Tell me, tell me.. I'd like to know ;)

Talking about patience, I surely am not the one who has mastered it yet!

Soo many times, at the back of my mind I know exactly how I should have reacted but.. I (almost) always reacted the other way, huahahahaha..

Like what happened yesterday morning before I went to Bandung.

Every morning is always about a battle for water, especially for those who live on the 2nd floor of the house cause I dunno why, the water supply for the 2nd floor is running even muuuuuccchhh slower than turtle, huhuhu..

So for the water to run freely on the 2nd floor, all the water on the 1st floor must be shut down.

Anywayy.. yesterday I woke up around for 4.15 am to cook breakfast for my mom. And after finished that one, I straightly went upstairs to fill the bathtub so I could take shower, but.. as predicted, the water was running slooooooow and it stopped much more time than it was running, huhuhu..

And as always, I got irritated! Only a short while later I realized that the choice was always mine..

The water and its slow running were only "condition" which I might not able to change that, but.. I had something within my grasp to handle and control, which was.. my reaction to it, whether I would have myself got irritated by it or.. I could still be happy despite the slow water running, ahahahaa..

And to tell you the truth, even after that "realisation", I still have to struggle to remember that all the time, wakakakakak :p

Okee dokee.. gotta go now.. Happy Rabbit Year!! I will talk to you some more later, otree? ;)

Yuhuu.. how are you, apa kabar? Duhh.. kangeeeeeen bangets dhe ama dirimuu, huehehehe..

Ada hal yang lumayan lucu sehubungan dengan minggu pertama di bulan kedua di tahun 2011 ini.

Jadi ceritanya hari Sabtu lalu (29/1) gua pergi ma temen2 gua and rada lupa sih awalnya itu lagi ngomongin apaan, tapi tau2 tuh yaa merembet ke tantangan untuk 1 minggu di awal Februari ini untuk berhenti melakukan apa yang biasanya kita lakukan, hahaha..

Apa ajakah ituu?

Well.. no Indomie for me, no coffee for Gwen, no internet via hp for Luce and tadinya Michelle juga mo berpartisipasi dengan no begadang, tapii.. begitu kita bilang dia musti tidur jam 10, langsung dengan serta merta dia menolak, wakakakak.. maunya tidur jam 1/2 12, aiihh.. itu mah udah ampir masuk jam begadang kalee!

Hari pertama ini ampir aja kebablasan karena udah kebiasaan gua itu sarapan dengan Indomie pake nasi dengan Indomie sebagai lauknya, hahaha.. untung aja keinget kalo hari ini tuh udah 1 Februari yang artinya tantangan selama 7 hari itu udah mulai berjalan :p

Mari kita lihat apakah ketiga peserta yang menyetujui untuk stop doing certain thing ini dapat bertahan sampai batas waktu yang ditetapkan? ;)

And gua pikir ini menarik, jadi teringat ama apa yang biasa dilakukan oleh Monika, temen Poland gua jaman Totti dulu yang mana menjelang Paskah itu biasanya dia bakal berhenti online selama sekitar 1 bulanan githu dhe, lupa tepatnya berapa puluh hari.

And menurut gua, to giving up the things that you really love doing or eating itu jauh lebih menarik daripada memukul rata harus 'puasa' hal tertentu selama sekian lama, hahaha.. karena kesukaan orang khan beda2, jadi mustinya lebih mantaps kalo berhenti melakukan hal yang paling "mengikat" kita itu yang lebih sipp, and kalo bisa melakukannya maka akan berasa terbebas githu dhee!

Mungkin gua juga harus mencoba berhenti online selama seminggu as a starter jadi I will have much time to do something else.

Hmm.. mungkin menarik untuk mencoba melakukannya, tapi nanti dhe cari waktu yang tepat dulu, hahaha.. karena gua pikir lepas dari keterikatan itu menyenangkan ;)

Bagaimana dengan kalian? What are the things that are so hard for you to give them up? :D

My30s.. I miss youu! Ahahaha.. probably you're bored hearing me say this, eh? :p

But worry not for you might not hearing me say that again since January is on its very end today so starting tomorrow I will be free to write you almost in daily basis again, yeaahh!

Anywayy.. Bruno Mars is probably one of the most happening name in the music industry right now, you might have heard "Billionaire" or "Nothing on You".

But as for this post, I'm not gonna talk about those song or any other of his songs but I will post a very special song that has captured my heart since the first time I heard it ;)

~.*.~

"Today My Life Begins"
Bruno Mars

I've been working hard so long
Seems like pain has been my only friend
My fragile heart's been done so wrong
I wonderered if I'd ever heal again

Ohh just like all the seasons
Never stay the same
All around me I can feel a change (oohh)

I will break these chains that bind me
Happiness will find me
Leave the past behind me
Today my life begins
A whole new world is waiting
It's mine for the taking
I know I can make it
Today my life begins

Yesterday has come and gone
And I've learned how to leave it where it is
And I see that I was wrong
For ever doubting I could win

Ohh just like all the seasons
Never stay the same
All around me I can feel a change (oohh)

I will break these chains that bind me
Happiness will find me
Leave the past behind me
Today my life begins
A whole new world is waiting
It's mine for the taking
I know I can make it
Today my life begins

Life's too short to have regrets
So I'm learning now
To leave it in the past
And try to forget
Only have one life to live
So you better make the best of it

I will break these chains that bind me
Happiness will find me
Leave the past behind me
Today my life begins
A whole new world is waiting
It's mine for the taking
I know I can make it
Today my life begins

I will break these chains that bind me
Happiness will find me
Leave the past behind me
Today my life begins
A whole new world is waiting
It's mine for the taking
I know I can make it
Today my life begins

~.*.~


Don't you just lovee what's on the lyric?

I know that we can't leave the past totally for it's part that makes us who we are today, but having stucked in the past ain't make us going anywhere either.

So the best way might be.. to leave the past behind and treat it on the right perspective, huehehehe..

What's done is done and cannot be undone ;)

Thank you, Bruno Mars.. I know that happiness will find me ^.^

Nah sekarang I'm in the mood to post the song, jadi marii kita nyanyii bersama2.

Siap2 tarik suara yaa :p

"Dengan SayapMu"
Sari Simorangkir

FirmanMu berkata Kau besertaku
Maka kuat roh dan jiwaku
TanganMu Tuhan selalu kunantikan
Di setiap langkah ku percaya

Dengan sayapMu ku akan terbang tinggi
Di tengah badai hidup ku tak menyerah
Kau kekuatan dan perlindungan
Bagiku

Pertolonganku di tempat Maha Tinggi
Ku mengangkat tanganku, aku berserah
Kau kunantikan, Kau yang kusembah
Yesusku, Rajaku

~.*.~


Huhuhu.. jadi suka dhe ma lagu2 yang dinyanyiin Sari Simorangkir, rasanya perpaduan antara suaranya dia and lirik lagunya itu 'pas' bener jadi sambil dengerin dia nyanyi bisa sambil meresapi liriknya.

What A Lovely (Yester)Dayy!!

 Picture is taken from : own collection


Topic starter : Wednesday, January 26, 2011 (6:35 pm)

Yesterday was definitely one of the loveliest day in my January 2011.

Why?

Simply because on that day I got something that I've been longing to have since long, ahahaha..

And what is that thing?

It's none other than the above pic, it's a postcard from Finland, a great artwork by Inge Look, I just loovee this series about 2 grannies!

Can't you see how in their golden ages, they are still that enthusiastic and energetic in living their lifes? It's like a confirmation that ages don't really matter cause you can still have fun no matter how old you are ;)

And I just lovee seeing those cards by Inge Look ^o^

But I'm not lucky enough to get a Finnish postcrosser who sent me one, huhuhu.. the other Finnish postcrossers sent me cards before I put about Inge Look's card in my profile page.

It really is a nicest surprise of the month :D

And to make it even more 'complete', I got a series of stamps that I like, the astronomy series, huehehehe..






 

So my conclusion of the day is : when getting what you want when you still want it, it really gives you a marvellous feeling!

One other conclusion is that.. one way or another you can still have what you want in unexpected place and unexpected times, this brings back the sense of hopes that we surely shouldn't lose our hopes cause at exactly the 'right' time you will get what you really 'need', huehehehe ;)

Oh okayy.. about that stamp, it might not be what I need but more of what I want, ahahaha.. but anyway, I can have a slightly different conclusion than what really happened, right? Wakakakak :p

CoD : Having Too Many Access

Picture is taken from :

Topic starter : Wednesday, January 26, 2011 (6:14 pm)

"Having too much access for something or someone sometimes ain't a great thing for at times it triggers the (unnecessary) fights!"

For example the free sms from the cellphone operator.You know when you've sent 2 sms, you get 100 free sms to any operator so you can send lots and lots sms to your friend.

And sometimes in order not to let your "free" sms be wasted, so you start texting your friend, asking or informing some casual talk which might end up in heated unnecessary arguments which might not happen if you need to pay for each sms you send!

Wakakakak..

Cause reallyy.. you wouldn't ask such things if you have to pay for it.

So it brought me back to similar conclusion I got some time ago, you know.. that sometimes limitation and boundaries ain't always a bad thing for at times it proves save us from unnecessary troubles!

And for you, please.. I don't mind you asking me anything, feel free to do so but you have to remember that I have NO obligation to answer each question you ask me!!

Topic starter : Tuesday, January 25, 2011 (5:20 am)

Family is the smallest unit in the society but just because it's small in size, doesn't mean that it's insignificant!

To the contrary, family holds a very important part in what kind of society it would be.

If each and every family that builds a society is a strong one, then you will have a strong healthy supportive society.

But if that society consists of disfunctional families then I'll let you imagine what kind of society it would be.

This somewhat reminds me of this quote :

"Each of us feels that we are just a drop in the ocean, but the ocean would be less without that missing drop" (Mother Teresa)

Oh, and also another quote :

"United we stand, divided we fall" (unknown)

Will the world be a better place if all things functioned ideally? Hmm.. I don't know for sure, cause at times even the bad things might bring a pleasant ending, ahahahaha.. but I guess it will make life be easier to live and we can focus on what's important and not easily distracted and being dragged from what's truly important to chase the unimportant ones.

How I Met Your Mother : All Things Work Together For The Good

Topic starter : Senin, 24 Januari 2011 (9:39 pm)

Gua suka sesuatu yang memberikan gua kesempatan untuk berpikir dan 'merenungkan' apa yang gua liat atau gua baca, huehehe.. rasanya kalo bisa dapat 'something' to learn githu jadi berasa waktu yang terbuang itu kaga sia2, ahahaha :p

Anywayy.. serial "How I Met Your Mother" yang gua tonton kali ini memberikan suatu hal yang amat sangat menarik bangets buat disimak.

Dalam bahasa gua sendiri dari apa yang gua tonton (yang terjadi karena gua ngga berhasil mengingat kata2 persis yang diucapkan tokohnya, wakakakak :p), adegan demi adegan yang ditampilkan itu membawa pada kesimpulan bahwa setiap hal, sekecil apapun dan betapapun remehnya, mereka semua bekerjasama untuk membawa kita ke tempat di mana kita berada saat ini dan pada waktu yang tepat yang memungkinkan suatu kejadian yang luar biasa terjadi dalam hidup kita.

Oh, gua suka sekali akan kesimpulan yang satu ini, karena ini sekaligus sebagai pengingat bahwa never take things for granted and appreciate whatever things that come your way cause each and everyone of them are little pieces and part of the big picture.

And ketika gua mencari2 gambar untuk postingan kali ini gua jadi teringat akan ayat yang ada dalam Roma 8:28.

Roma 8:28 -> Kita tahu sekarang, bahwa Allah turut bekerja dalam segala sesuatu untuk mendatangkan kebaikan bagi mereka yang mengasihi Dia, yaitu bagi mereka yang terpanggil sesuai dengan rencana Allah.

Nah part ini menjadi menarik karena pagi ini gua mendapatkan kesimpulan yang kurang lebih sama dari hal berbeda yang terjadi hari Sabtu lalu, ahahahaha..

Gua senang dhe ketika kejadian2 yang berbeda membawa pada kesimpulan yang sama, ataupun ketika kejadian2 yang sama memberikan kesimpulan yang berbedaa..

Ain't making a conclusion is a fun thing to do? ;)

Ahahaha.. I got this conclusion just a while ago.

"Life sometimes is funny.. when you want something soo badly, you didn't get what you want, instead you ended up having something else but as time goes by you can finally see that what you have in your hand is wayy better than the one you were once wanted so badly!"

Ahahaha.. yes, indeed life can at times be funny and feels like playing a game on me.

But I guess I need to learn to accept whatever things come my way cause every little things, including the ones that I don't like at one certain period of time in my life, they are all part that bring me closer to the best thing I will have in my life ;)

"Give Me More Time"
Nicole

How can I tell you, what can I say
Please don't be angry, don't walk away
I'm confused, I don't know what to do with my emotions
I'm just a young girl, modest and shy
Wishing and hoping, wondering why
Every night when I dream about you
I wake up crying


Give me more time
Baby, be kind
I need more time to make up my mind
Is it to soon
If I give in, would I be losing
Give me more time
Don't you agree
I need more time to set myself free
When I can feel ready for love
I'll be yours till I die


Maybe tomorrow let's make a date
Please take me home, it's getting late
And each time that you kiss me this way, I feel temptation
You say, you love me so tenderly
Can it be shown now, let's wait and see
If it's real, if it's true, if it's love
Not just pretending


Give me more time
Baby, be kind
I need more time to make up my mind
Is it to soon
If I give in, would I be losing
Give me more time
Don't you agree
I need more time to set myself free
When I can feel ready for love
I'll be yours till I die


Give me more time
Don't you agree
I need more time to set myself free
When I can feel ready for love
I'll be yours till I die

La la laa.. My30s, sabar yaa.. gua pasti akan kembali mengisi elo dengan rajin, tapi untuk saat ini masih belon bisa, huhuhu..

I see you when I see you again and hopefully it won't take long ;)

Daahh..

You know what.. gua lagi jatuh cintaa.. jatuh cinta ama pria ganteng berwajah tampan, lhoo.. ganteng ama tampan khan sami mawon yaa, wakakakakak :p

Yaa.. pokoknya sama pria cakeps berikut ini dhee.. duh, Maakk.. cakeps amat sih!

Pertama 'mengenalnya' itu lewat serial TV "Castle" karena dia yang memerankan Richard Castle, sang novelis cerita pembunuhan yang mendapatkan inspirasi dari tokohnya, Nikki Heat, dari detektif yang selalu dibuntutinya dalam memecahkan kasus2 pembunuhan, Kate Beckett.

Dari hasil mencari2 gambarnya via Google, baru tau kalo nama aslinya itu Nathan Fillion, huehehe.. nama asli ataupun nama peran sama2 bagusnya, hihihi.. and tentu aja ngga mengurangi kegantengannya, wakakakak..

Jadi mari marii.. kita nikmati pemandangan indah berikut ini yang didapatkan melalui Google dengan keyword : Richard Castle ataupun Nathan Fillion.

Si Mei bilang gini, "e he he he charming, like a prince. tumben, Dah, biasanya brondong :D"

Wakakakakakakak.. bukan salahkuu kalo pada akhirnya nyantol ama brondong, abisnya belakangan khan gua suka nontonnya itu drama Jepang or Korea, yaahh.. elo tau sendiri lah kalo drama Asia githu khan para pemerannya emang masih pada muda2 githu, ihikss..

CoD : Setting Boundaries

Topic starter : Tuesday, January 18, 2011 (7:22 am)

Setting boundaries ain't always a bad thing to do, especially for little children, I think you should set some boundaries for them of what they can and cannot do cause little children haven't learned yet the right or wrong things to do.

So to let them do or say whatever things they want without any limitation at all.. well, you will reap what you sow.. if you let them be for a longer period of time, it might be more difficult for you to make them to listen to you.

Too many boundaries indeed might hold the creativity to grow, but having no boundaries at all will surely make a chaos, one way or another.

Well, anyway.. whichever way will surely give us something to learn along the way.. take it and fix it anyway we can, eh? :p

Ini lagu lamaa, pasti yang seangkatan gua lumayan familiar dhe ama nih lagu, kalo yang baru lahir 20 tahun yang lalu mungkin ngga kenal kali yee, apalagi anak2 jaman sekarang, hahaha..

Mari kita nyanyi sambil bernostalgia plus meresapi lirik lagu berikut ini.

~.*.~

"One Moment in Time"
Whitney Houston

Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown

I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity

You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine

I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free

Shania Twain

Topic starter : Selasa, 18 Januari 2011 (6:37 am)

Udah lamaa juga gua ngga terlalu ngikutin gosip artis. And berhubung kalo online juga gua jarang bangets buka situs berita, jadi bisa dibilang gua lumayan ngga tau dhe apa yang terjadi dengan kaum selebritis, baik lokal maupun internasional, huehehehe.. bukan berarti gua kehilangan banyak juga sih, toh kenal ama mereka secara personal juga kaga, ahahaha :p

Anywayy.. beberapa waktu lalu tabloid Bintang Indonesia memuat kabar tentang Shania Twain. Udah pernah denger sih kabar kalo si Shania itu cerai ama suami yang juga partner-nya dalam menulis lagu selama ini, Mutt Lange kalo ngga salah, yang mana si Mutt ini selingkuh ama teman baiknya Shania!

Cckk.. kadang gua suka bingung kalo teman baik kok bisa yaa merebut suami teman baiknya sendiri githu, huhuhu.. susah untuk dimengerti! Kalo yang ngerebut suami seseorang tuh musuhnya, masih lebih mudah untuk dimengerti githu lhoo..

Lanjutt.. setelah berhasil pulih dari luka hati dan kesedihannya karena perceraiannya dengan sang suami, Shania menemukan cinta baru dalam diri sahabatnya yang juga sama2 terluka karena ditinggalkan istrinya, sahabat yang tidak lain adalah mantan suami dari selingkuhannya mantan suaminya Shania!

Hahaha.. sometimes kalo dipikir2, hidup itu ironis sekaligus lucu ya, hihihi.. who would have thought bahwa mereka akan 'bertukar' pasangan seperti itu?

And hmm.. lucunya gua kok jadi berasa kalo beberapa waktu belakangan ini, 'pesan' yang menghampiri itu adalah mengenai kesempatan kedua, seperti yang pernah gua tulis beberapa waktu lalu tentang yang gua dapat dari serial "Castle : 2nd Chance", and ketika membaca berita tentang Shania Twain ini jadi kepikiran soal kesempatan kedua ini juga.

Dunia ngga serta merta berhenti berputar hanya karena kita sedang terpuruk. Walau kesedihan, kemarahan, sakit hati itu datang menghampiri dan airmata terasa amat akrab dan hidup sepertinya hanya menawarkan hal2 yang tidak mengenakkan, selalu ada kesempatan untuk kembali berbahagia.

Dan pada akhirnya gua baru bisa mengerti apa yang dikatakan oleh Hellen Keller.

"When one door of happiness closes, another one opens, but oftentimes we look so long at the closed door that we couldn't see the one that has been opened for us"

Ya ya yaa.. kurang lebih seperti itulah bunyi kalimat yang diucapkan Hellen Keller yang terkenal and sering dikutip di mana2 itu.

Bukan berarti gua setuju akan terjadinya perceraian, karena biar gimana perceraian itu idealnya tidak perlu terjadi ketika elo udah memutuskan untuk menghabiskan sisa hidup elo bersama dengan seseorang.

Tetapi ketika perceraian itu mau ngga mau terjadi juga, bukan berarti dunia elo serta merta runtuh juga and kebahagiaan selamanya tidak akan kembali menyapa karena selalu ada kebahagiaan yang mengintip around the corner hanya saja seringkali kita itu terlewatkan memperhatikannya jadi bagaimana bisa kita meraihnya untuk masuk ke dalam hidup kita.

And Shania telah kembali mendapatkan kebahagiaannya dalam berumah tangga karena membuka awal tahun 2011 ini, Shania menikah dengan pria yang telah membuatnya kembali tersenyum dan berbahagia dalam menjalani hidup ini.

Selamat berbahagia, Shania Twain ;)

The Bachelorette : Finding The One

 Gambar diambil dari :

Topic starter : Senin, 17 Januari 2011 (7:51 pm)

Ya ya yaa.. kalo kalian memperhatikan, beberapa waktu belakangan ini gua lagi sering ngebahas soal TV series, ahahaha.. yaa karena beberapa waktu ini emang gua lagi lumayan sering nonton TV :p

Rada kangen juga sih pengen nonton DVD and melepaskan diri dari kompie or buku untuk beberapa saat tapi ngga tau juga TV gua udah beres belon yaa, soalnya khan kemaren ini sempet ngadat jadi ngga bisa dipake buat nonton DVD dhe, huhuhu..

Salah satu yang gua ikutin secara ngga sengaja itu adalah reality show "The Bachelorette" yang salah satu episode-nya adalah si 'bachelorette'-nya, Ali Fedotowsky, diajak untuk menemui keluarga masing-masing pria yang masih tertinggal.

Salah satu adegan yang berkesan adalah ketika Ali mengunjungi keluarga Chris Lambton and ayahnya Chris menceritakan tentang pertemuannya dulu dengan istrinya.

Kala itu sang ayah masih berusia 21 tahun dan sang ibu berusia 19 tahun and sang ibu baru masuk ke dalam bar (atau resto ya?) terus dia nanya ke temannya apa dia mengenal sang ayah terus si ibu bilang ke temannya itu, "Aku akan menikah dengan dia!", padahal pas itu kenal juga kaga, ahahaha.. tapi turned out the next 2 years mereka berdua menikah dan hidup berbahagia bersama selama 37 tahun sebelum akhirnya sang ibu terlebih dulu menghadap Sang Pencipta.

Ketika mendengar cerita ayahnya Chris itu ntah kenapa gua ngerasa.. ohh.. soo sweet yaa.. to have found the 'one' in your life and live happily together with that person without regrets or wondering apakah the 'one' itu sebenarnya masih berkeliaran di luar sana and you're stucked with the 'wrong' one.

And tadi pas nonton salah satu episode "How I Met Your Mother", ada juga kalimat sweet lainnya yang mana si Ted, sang tokoh utama bilang gini ke teman kencan butanya, "Mungkin kita ngga perlu maksain diri untuk berubah untuk menyesuaikan diri satu sama lain. Aku tau leluconku itu kadang emang ngga lucu tapi aku senang membuatnya."

Terus si teman kencannya bilang, "Dan aku tidak bisa berhenti membicarakan tentang kucingku!"

Lalu Ted menyambung, "Mungkin kita tidak perlu berubah agar bisa bersama tetapi kita hanya perlu mencari orang lain yang menyukai apa yang ada dalam diri kita."

Huaa.. kalimat itu menurut gua sweet, huehehehe..

Jadi?

Gua pikir terkadang menghabiskan waktu di depan TV asal ngga terlalu berlebihan yaa otree2 its karena sometimes from the movies or series that we watch, we might learn something more about ourselves ;)

"Maybe sometimes we're (too) used on something that always there all the time, like the sun that always shines or each breath that we take, that prevents us on seeing it as a blessing until it slips away from our hands then we finally realize its worth!"
