The Lady & The Duke


There was The Lady in Red. She was faithful and thoughtful. She had a soft and cheerful personality. But, once you knew her dark side, The Lady was not good as what it seems. The Lady could be very sensitive and easily feeling emphatic toward the others. She could cry in a moment, then laugh it off. Sometimes, The Lady was confused with herself.

Once, she met The Duke in Black, the mysterious guy from another town that visited The Lady's town. At first, The Lady only admiring The Duke without having a courage to talk to him. He was quite, sensible, and over analyze with his sharp eyes. He was the type of man that could break women's heart easily. Somehow, they met and finally talked. They became as close as siblings.

As the time passed, The Lady drowned in his affection though she hated it because she couldn't resist her own feeling and that was upseting her. The Lady couldn't believe that The Duke was like her own world. Ironically, The Duke was as cold as the ice. He looked down at The Lady's feeling and never falling in love with her. Love made a person looked dumb. Though The Lady was smart, she was dumb and clueless about love. She never stopped loving The Duke, though sometimes he was ignorant, reckless, and careless to her. Guessed she was blinded by love.

Finally, The Duke went back to his town, leaving The Lady empty hearted all by herself. He said farewell to her by embracing her in his arms. The tears dropped from The Lady's face. She didn't want to be left by him, she needed him as her dear friend because she knew The Duke would never ever love her. By staying by her side, she could give The Duke all of her love endlessly. She hoped for The Duke's happiness.

As days turned into years, many men tried to approach The Lady but she could only think about The Duke. She was afraid that her love turned into an obsession, she was afraid that she didn't love The Duke sincerly. She was afraid of her own feelings and she was getting confused by the word of 'love.'

"Do I really love him?" She asked to herself.

Deep down, she wanted to believed that oneday she could melt the ice heart of The Duke. (Or at least someone would).

Pancasila, Nasionalisme, dan Eyangkung

Mungkin Eyangkung (Eyang Kakung, Kakek dalam bahasa Jawa) benci disebut-sebut sebagai pahlawan. Tapi, memang kenyataannya begitu. Tidak akan ada Indonesia tanpa Eyangkung dan para pahlawan yang lain. Eyangkung saya bernama Eyang Toegijo Kartosandjojo, beliau lahir di Solo pada 17 Agustus 1919. Eyangkung bersekolah di Neutrale H. I. S Solo dan beliau berprestasi di sekolahnya. Karena prestasi itulah beliau dibebaskan dari les persiapab masuk M. U. L. O. dan pada akhirnya beliau berhasil masuk tanpa melalui tes ujian masuk. Sebagai cucu kesekian, saya sangat bangga mempunyai sosok Eyangkung. Karena beliau, saya selalu bersumpah akan membawa nama baik keluarga. Saya nggak mau menjelekkan nama baik keluarga besar, saya nggak mau dibilang, "cucu pahlawan kok seperti itu?" (Walaupun saya ini memang tergolong bandel sih, cuma bandelnya masih sebatas wajar). Walaupun beliau wafat setahun sebelum saya lahir, banyak cerita yang sudah saya dengar maupun foto-foto beliau yang saya l

The Art of Getting By

Hola! Ini mungkin adalah salah satu film favorit gue. Why? Karena pemerannya Emma Roberts sama Freddie Highmore. They're the best entertainers of all time. I watch this move like over a year ago, but still. I can remember it clearly. George ( Freddie Highmore ) is a fatalistic high school senior who is a gifted artist. George is often haunted by the realization that he will die someday. He ceases to complete his homework, as he feels that everything seems meaningless. As a result, he is put on academic probation. The next day, George goes up to the school roof and sees Sally ( Emma Roberts ) smoking. When a teacher comes up, George quickly pulls out a cigarette and takes the blame. Sally meets up with George to thank him, and though George is at first reluctant to talk to her, he soon warms up to her. On Career Day, George meets a young artist, Dustin and is inspired by his thoughts about life. He brings Sally with him to visit Dustin and it becomes appare

Butterfly, FLY AWAY

What do you see? Is it a butterfly? *** Mungkin menurut orang, binatang ini adalah yang paling cute, unyu, dan lovable banget. Tapi menurut gue..... Kupu-kupu sucks. Gue juga ngga ngerti kenapa gue itu jadi takut-jijik-illfeel gitu sama kupu-kupu. Sepertinya itu menular dari kakak gue juga....... Dulu gue sempet takut sama kupu-kupu. Terus tiba-tiba engga takut lagi gara-gara disuruh coba pegang sayapnya sama Mba Tita. Saat itu gue merasa kaya, "Ih wow, sayapnya alus bangeeettt. Jiplak lagi di tangan." Tapi..... ngga tau kenapa rasa untuk menghindari kupu-kupu kembali meruak ke permukaan. Perasaan itu pun masih terbenam di dalam hati gue. Kalo ada yang nanya
