the cloud and the sand dune

Akhirnya kembali juga ke Jakarta! Haha it’s nice to go back to my home, even though it’s just for one day. Wow, i’m becoming a frequent traveler, i’m on plane 4 times and spend hours on taxi this monthTadi pas di airport Juanda yang baru (nice one, i like it) mampir sebentar ke Periplus. Berhubung Harry Potter yang baru sudah habis hanya dalam waktu 1/4 hari saja, jadi pengen bacaan lain deh. I found Like Flowing River by Paulo Coelho, bought it, and read it while i was on plane.

Like The Alchemist, the simplicity but deep meanings of his works really makes me glued to that book, i even didn’t notice i were landing already! *yep, that’s true*. I love his thought in humanity, love, and peace; we need more people like him to make this world a better place for readers like me. One story on page 162 really touched me, so if you like this one, please get to your nearest bookstore and buy it :D

A young cloud was born in the midst of a great storm over the Mediterranean Sea, but he did not even have time to grow up there, for a strong wind pushed all the clouds towards Africa.
As soon as the clouds reached the continent the climate changed . A bright sun was shining in the sky and stretched out beneath them, lay the golden sands of the Sahara. Since it almost never rains in the desert, the wind continued pushing the clouds towards the forests in the south.
Meanwhile, as happens with young humans too, the young cloud decided to leave his parents and his older friends in order to discover the world.

takkan terganti vs irreplaceable

Hanyalah dirimu mampu membuatku jatuh dan mencinta
Kau bukan hanya sekedar indah
Kau tak akan terganti

————-

You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don’t you ever for a second get to thinking you’re irreplaceable

saat saya menyadari bahwa menyampaikan sesuatu dalam bahasa yang berbeda ternyata memiliki arti yang berbeda pula.

lagu favoritku dan lagu kesukaan dia :D

huahahahahahahahaha

wi-su-da!

huh, akhirnya tinggal beberapa jam lagi sebelum wisuda itb…

*buat orang2 yang terus-menerus nanyain apakah gw diwisuda, jawabannya tetap ‘belum’ :p *

selesai juga kerjaan gw sebagai koordinator publikasi…

tidak lagi berurusan dengan baligo sialan yang menghabiskan 2 hari liburan Bali yang berharga itu…
dan puluhan ribu hanya untuk online di warnet yang gila-gilaan mahalnya…
dan korban USB SanDisk 2 GB yang baru dibeli sebulan….
dan pulsa puluhan ribu untuk membalas sms princess dan ayam.. <– OK, yang ini beda kasus. untung ada off peak thx to telkomsel ^^

besok jadi dokumentasi luar sama ratri, dari pagi udah megang handycam deh. Gapapa lah, toh sekali2 pengen liat kayak apa sih di kampus, wisuda kemaren di sabuga terus sih. Pasti seru liat arak-arakannya! buat yang mau disorot silakan hubungi gw lewat YM malam ini, besok cari aja yang tinggi menjulang dan bawa handycam di gerbang depan dan sunken court! :D

cleansweep!

yak, saatnya bersih-bersih tahunan…
mengubur semua kenangan jelek selama setengah tahun ini…
mematikan semua perasaan dan harapan yang gak guna dan bikin pusing….
menyalakan kembali api semangat hidup…

menjadi ramdaffe yang periang seperti dulu :)

*menghapus air mata*
*pasang senyum lebar, nyengir kambing*
*mengucapkan mantra2*
*meminum ramuan dari dukunnya Asterix*

la la la laaa….^^

N.B: ramdaffe kalau udah down banget pasti malah balik ke sisi gilanya. hati2 kalau jalan bareng sama sisi dirinya yang satu ini, sering malu-maluin

*emangnya selama ini nggak malu2in ya? :p

foolish.

i’m such a fool

letting those dreams lay in ruin
hanging on to that faint hope
only to find out an illusion
hurting you, hurting me,
leaving those wound that can’t be healed
what left is a scar,
and the foolish me.

i can’t stand up and smile anymore
not this time, not for you and everybody else

that storm may pass eventually
and the sunshine will break through the cloud
and they will whisper heartwarming words
and everything will be all right
but in the end there’s only me
and my shadow

still waiting.

for nothing.

sailed away

And it may take some time to
Patch me up inside
But I can’t take it so I
Run away and hide
And I may find in time that
You were always right
You’re always right

“kalo perlu gue deketin lagi aja mereka smua biar gue bisa lupa sama lo”
that words really sting me last midnight. i know, people are stupid, they are becoming more possessive when they are about to lose something. something irreplaceable. and last night, you said that final word that seals tall these uncertainties.

i won’t hold you back, i’m not that kind of person who always thinks for myself. i don’t care about myself, i never did. it’s all about you. i already give you all my attention, all the time.

but, yeah, i can’t give you that one thing, i can’t promise that to you. and then, it’s over.

so you sailed away
into the grey sky morning
