Jakarta Ramai

Jakarta. A crowded city in Indonesia, a hometown of mine, traffic issues everywhere, surrounded by skyscrapers, night life, urban life, crimes everywhere, and also... poverty. So ironic.

As the capital city of this developing country, I think the people of Jakarta should have more discipline in their activities.

1. Respect time because it has the same value as money as well.

No one can't resist that our simple excuse for coming late such as, "macet."

And also.. many people love wasting their valuable time for unnecessary things, hanging around places without any goal.

I used to live like those examples (coming late, and wasting time) but the more I grow.. I'm always trying to respect time. By doing that, I can be more productive without feeling overwhelmed and I can save my expenses.

So, I suggest you to have a monthly / weekly / daily planner to control your life and you can live to the fullest by doing necessary things that you love, or that you responsible of.

2. Try to use public transportation.

Well, I know our public transportation is so alarming so we'd rather use personal transportation. Well, I also know that tingkat kejaiman dan ego orang Jakarta itu besar, jadinya malu untuk naik angkutan umum. Orang Jakarta yang mempunyai mobil / motor lebih memilih untuk bepergian dengan kendaraan mereka sendiri karena tidak mau berdesakan, berkeringat, dan kepanasan. The folks are also too lazy to walk from one place to another one.

The ironic thing is, traffic issues highlighted this city caused by the using of personal transportation, and people coming late, and eventually we breathe more carbon monoxide than oxygen.

How can we awake the folks to realize this situation? Tidak semua angkutan umum itu keadaannya memprihatinkan, kok.

3. Budayakan antri.

Well, the serious problem among all. Menyela antrian orang lain adalah hal primitif dan tidak beretika sama sekali. Why can't people be more patient, huh?

***

Still, living in this crowded city is not a guarantee to be happy. A crowded place usually makes us feel alone, am I right?


Ps: tonight's playlist will be Jakarta Ramai by Maudy Ayunda.

Two Worlds Collide

So I was listening to this song last night. Pretty old, it was from Demi Lovato's first album, Don't Forget. The lyrics really got me... Well probably, now I'm on Demi's phase back then when she was really insecure with her self... *** "Two Worlds Collide" She was given the world So much that she couldn't see And she needed someone to show her, Who she could be. And she tried to survive Wearing her heart on her sleeve But I needed you to believe You had your dreams, I had mine. You had your fears, I was fine. You showed me what I couldn't find, When two different worlds collide. La dee da dee da She was scared of it all, watching from far away. She was given a role, never knew just when to play. And she tried to survive Living her life on her own Always afraid of the throne But you've given me strength to find home. You had your dreams, I had mine. You had your fears, I was fine. You showed me what I couldn't find, When

Satu Dunia, Satu Tapak, Dua Rasa

Dalam gelap, seketika mata menjadi buta. Alunan musik nan lembut telinga telah tuli. Di sebuah pengungkapan, mulut seolah terjahit bisu. Dan di dalam perasaan ini, hati seketika bergejolak. Diam. Tak bergeming. Merelakan angin mencium raganya. Hanya mengamati dan menjaga. Tak berani unjuk diri untuk membela hati yang merana. Andaikan kelak bumi dan langit berjumpa, Bertemu di bentangan dunia, Apa kita dapat berhadapan di setapak yang sama? Memandang satu sama lain. Dari dekat. Menikmati waktu yang sedikit. Menghargai setiap tatapan. Peluklah hangat setiap kenangan. Kecuplah lembut setiap perjuangan. Biarkan terjadi euforia. Sorak-sorai yang menggema di seluruh pelosok. Ketika akhirnya dunia kita dipertemukan.

Is 'Sorry' Enough?

We are way too far. The days pass as we started to live our own life. Separately. And.... I hate it. I hate to admit that I miss you. I hate to realize that I was actually wrong. If only, We can turn back time. To a year when we first met. I would rekindled us. And now.... It's too late. I need to hide. I need to hide from you as far as possible. I need to hide from this mixed feelings. I need to hide from the fact that.... I am flipped. I am flipped because of you. Your gaze, your laugh, your voice... So mesmerizing I can't even lie. Those memories and my faults keep haunt me. So, before I say good bye.... Shall you forgive me? See you when I see you, my reflection.

Art, Picasso, Drunk

Art is something that can makes you relax. It can be your drunk, but in a good way. Art makes you see thing's that can't you see before. It opens wide your imagination. I do love art. I can express myself from it. It teaches me how to use my creativity in a right place. I can do some sketches, but not so well if you compare it with Picasso. Here's a painting by Picasso, the most wonderful artist in the whole wide world. I'm forget its name, but it's so kewl. See, how much a painting can relax you? xoxo
