attitude and RESPECT!

Maybe you've heard people say "sorry seems to be the hardest word"
Hmm..to me, nowadays, RESPECT seems to be the hardest thing to do. Skrg banyak bgt orang yg bikin salah dan dengan gampangnya blg "maaf" and everything will be just fine krn pihak yg dimintain maaf bakal mikir "kan dia udah minta maaf.. Ntar kl ga dimaafin dosa"
Kata maaf jd sangat murah dan gampangan!

Respect is an expensive thing now. Coba kita jujur dan liat sekeliling, hmm liat diri sendiri dulu deh. Seberapa sering kita komentar dlm hati "duh bajunya ngga banget", "ih alay bgt", "nih org apaan sih?" I admit, I oftenly do that sadar atau ngga sadar..
Punya impresi ttg seseorang hal yg wajar, tapiiiii kita berhak ngejudge org itu gimana kl kita udah bener2 kenal sm org itu.

Well I've seen a lot of people characters in my life. Fake people, nice and sweet people, sceptic people, pathetic people, optimistic/pessimistic, and whatever you wanna call them. Setiap org punya karakternya masing2, ada yg disukain ada jg yg ngga. Tp balik lg ke konsep kl kita adalah makhluk sosial, jd kita ga mgkn idup sendirian.. We need others. Kita harus komunikasi dan interaksi.
Itu dia knp kita harus jaga attitude kita dan ngehargain org lain sbg sesama makhluk Tuhan..

Selama org itu ga bener2 ganggu idup lo, knp lo harus ngerendahin/ngejauhin org itu?
Apapun status sosialnya/jabatan/jenis kelamin/tingkat pendidikannya, tiap org punya kelebihan dan kekurangannya masing2 yg suatu hari nanti lo butuhin.. Krn manusia itu harus saling tolong menolong.

Bukan brarti krn lo dikenal banyak orang, dipuja2, dielu2kan, disanjung2, lo berhak ngelakuin apa aja yg lo mau. Come on! You are not a God. Bahkan Tuhan pun ga pernah pilih2 dan ga pernah sesombong itu..

If you wanna have a good image then you must have a good attitude! A real one! Not fake or kiss ass-ing! If you wanna be loved then you must love others

And the most important thing is YOU HAVE TO TREAT PEOPLE WITH RESPECT SO PEOPLE WILL RESPECT YOU AS WELL
It's that simple. It's the basic concept of humanity. What goes around comes around.. You can't always be on the top of the world, one day you have to go down to climb up the higher mountain.

Not everything in this world is about YOU!

Gatecrasher - The Empire of the Sunset to Sunrise

Yesterday was really an absurd day. However, I still have a really great time there.

Alright, allow me to review this AMAZING event. Did I say amazing? Yes, I did.
Bukan krn salah satu panitianya adalah kakak saya (yahhh ada faktor itu tp ga banyak hehe) tp krn harus diakui event ini berlangsung dengan sangat baik.

Satu hal yg paling saya hargain dr acara ini adalah "ONTIME LUAR BIASA!!!" Satu fenomena yg jarang ditemuin di jakarta krn budaya ngaret kita yg terlalu kuat.

Touched down at venue at 9 pm it was not so crowded. Masih sepi banget malah! I was wondering "okay, is this event gonna be huge? Where are the people?"
Tapiiiii jangan sedih jangan khawatir! Masuk ke jam 10 org2 udah mulai antri.. Dan this is the performance that we've been waiting for, the one and only, EMPIRE OF THE SUN rock the stage jam 11 teng!!! Sangat ontime dan sangat menggebrak!

Penuh, sesek, jogedan, keringet, WHO CARES?! Sound yg kenceng dan bagus rapih ditambah visual yg ciamik (oh ditambah dancer2 absurd yg dahsyat) bikin crowd makin gila. Aksi panggung empire yg masukin unsur2 teatrikal bener2 kerasa beda dan pecah bgt. 1 jam crowd digoyang (aiiihh digoyang!!! Macem ntn konser dangdut!) tp ga segitu doang keciamikan acara ini.

Dari Empire of The Sun masih banyak line up DJ-DJ canggih yg antri.. Makin pagi makin rame dan makin banyak kelakuan-kelakuan "unik" yg bs diliat..

Menyenangkan eventnya.. Musik bagus, sound bagus, visual bagus, tempat bagus, makanan enak, crowdnya padat.. Cuma satu yg harus dicomplain: MASA AQUA aje harganye 30rb!!! Mulai skrg gw bakal buka warung kelontong di rave party!! Bs tajir dadakan gw!!

Crowd makin pecah waktu Tocadisco hit the stage. Makin menggila suasana.. Berhubung kaki udah ga kuat, badan udah pegel2, saya beranjak pulang aja deh setengah performancenya doi.. But he was great.. Agak eri alias enjoy sendiri tp di situ justru yg bikin dia keliatan lebih ciamik

Well, the point is I started with questioning "Where are the people" and end up saying "We are the people"

Good job for Blade! We'll be waiting for the next event!

conversation at night

Mungkin buat sebagian orang, malem2 waktunya tidur. Ada juga yg blg malem2 itu waktunya seneng2.

But to me, malem2 itu waktunya buat ngobrol. I always love to have a nice conversation with friends at night. I don't know why, well maybe because I'm a Leo dan LUAR BIASA rungsingan, makanya gw sangat suka ngobrol/telfonan/tuker pikiran malem2. Somehow, inspirations come to me at night. Sometimes, I could say some brilliant quotes at night.
Kl kata Bang Oma Irama "begadang jgn begadang..krn ngga ada artinya" sorry bang! Sayanya ngga setuju! (Iyalah!! Emang gw ga pernah setuju sm pemikiran bang Oma! Itu rambutnya ga bs ganti model bang? Potong di mas Firman pasti kece! Tergantung muke sih tetep!)

Alright back to the topic! Ngga tau kenapa, obrolan yg gw lakuin di malam hari itu biasanya berkualitas (menurut gw!). Based on that, I kinda make a silly perception in my head: People become wiser, smarter and more mature at night.

Bahkan, si bos pernah ngajak ngobrol serius malem2 dan Luar Biasanya I said some brilliant things that night, and he said "tumben nyet lo pinter?"
-____-" (kl gw ga pinter, magang gw ga sekece itu boooosss!!!). But that's true! Krn biasanya obrolan antara gw dan dia di siang hari jarang berbobot. And again I start to make a new theory that "People become wiser, smarter and more mature at night"

Ok, kita cari bbrp contoh.
1. People who go to party and get drunk.. Hmm maybe not so mature.. BUT! Pernah dengerkan org2 ngmg "bahasa inggris gw lancar bgt kl lg stengah sadar" >> harus diakui, it happens!! See? People become smarter at night eventhough they're drunk! Ckckck
2. Org yg lg PDKT. Biasanya org yg lg PDKT bakal aktif nelf/sms gebetannya di malam hari (itung2 pengantar tidur). Coba liat percakapan/isi smsnya.. Pasti kata2 luar biasa! Luar biasa sok perhatian, luar biasa gombal, luar biasa mau nunjukin kl dia bijaksana+dewasa buat bikin gebetannya nyaman >> See? People become wiser and be more mature at night!
3. Pasangan org tua yg punya anak. Biasanya kl ada masalah, suami istri ngebahasnya malem2 sblm mrk tidur (tidur beneran! Bukan berkegiatan). Mrk bakal ngebahas permasalahan mrk secara dewasa dan pelan2 (dg harapan anaknya ga denger obrolan mrk) >> SEE? Again!! People become wiser and be more mature at night! (God I start to like this theory)
4. The last but not least (udah males mikir sbnrnya) org yg patah hati! (Well this is my favorite part). Org yg patah hati biasanya gloomy+pikirannya kacau.. Isinya cm negative thinking, kecewa, marah2, ga ada yg beres. Tapiiiii coba liat kl dia ngobrol malem2 sm temennya.. Pasti temennya dengerin dg lbh sabar dan si oknum patah hati ini biasanya akan lbh gampang dikasih pengertian kl malem2 (sotoy sih tp pengalaman gw begitu! Temen2 gw gitu! Jd anggep aja begitu!)

Jd kesimpulannya, ada gunanya susah tidur+rungsingan. (Yg pasti ada gunanya punya esia+BBM jd gampang kl ngobrol) krn sesuai teori yg gw percaya "People become wiser, smarter and more mature at night"
That's why I suggest you to try to have a conversation at night more often.. DAN SATU LAGI, SCREW YOU BANG OMA!!! Begadang (sometimes) brings good impacts!!!

Same Movie, Same Story, Same Effect and Same Questions (still)

"In Your majesty, You create differences. In my arrogance, I question Your wisdom. In Your mistery, You create temptations. In my inferiority, You make me more than I am. So here I am"

Those lines were taken from the indonesian movie called Cin(T)a. An insanely amazing movie.
Call me "lebay" or whatever you wanna call but I did watch this movie more than 5 times with same effects.

Basically, this movie talks about questioning something to God (that we call in different names). Sounds simple but it's not, specially if you live in Indonesia. TRUST me, it's complicated here.
Have you ever questioning something to God but you're scared or forbid to ask? I have. Some religion schools here are kinda teach their students not to ask God something inappropriate. But to me, as a human, sometimes we have million questions to God. For example (like in this movie): you're not allowed to marry someone who has a different religion with you. Then why God introduced you both? Why we met? Why do we feel so "clique". And why does everything feel so right when it's wrong?

Temptations? People say "you're the one who can control your feeling" but they forgot that feelings come naturally. Only God can explain.

I really like the concept of this movie. It didn't try to educate you, simply just open your mind with a simple way, QUESTIONING!

I hate it when people do some stupid actions with stupid reason they call "for the sake of God". Some people THINK that they're really close with God so they THINK whatever they do is right. To me, your relationship with God is really personal. You can't compare it with others because God has His own way to touch each person. God is the only one who has the right to judge you, too bad sometimes some people try to be God and judge another human subjectively.

I have million questions to God and maybe He smiles at me now and say "why can't you be patient? I'll answer everything with process so you can learn so many things"

Just like another powerful words in this movie:
Surrender me in the agony of Your love. Surrender me in the irony of Your law. Lead me to the joy if love redivined. Teach me how to love You more.

God has His own way to touch each person. Your relationship with God is really personal. We're just human who are in a journey. We're the one who should choose our own way.

(Amiin?)

complicatedly simple

Alright, I finally start to have my own blog.
I finally have an eager to spill out my thoughts and write them down.
To create this wasn't that easy.. I have to follow some instructions and surprisingly I got confused.

It's supposed to be simple but yet it turned out to be complicatedly simple to me. Yeah, I'm not really in touch with technology (poor me)

But, I don't care how complicatedly simple it was, I'm happy to start my own blog. One thing that I do believe is that sometimes words are wrapped around in your mouth but you have no guts to spill them out. That's why you need to write.

So here I am and this is what I do now
