The sopranos

Tony soprano made his son work on a construction site because he wanted his son to be able to make it on his own. Sounds good for my son.

Sometimes I feel what this person is feeling around my neighborhood. I would blame the international (read: American) influence I had back at high school (the name Hanafi from the story "Salah Asuhan" ring any bells?).

Festival Kemang

Dedet went to festival kemang last sunday. She came back tired, but she had fun. Isn't she pretty? 

What if men know what they're doing?

I thought about it. What if they don't? So what. A lot of things I know now is worth next to nothing, in the sense that they don't do me or anybody any good.
It is really hard to be happy. You don't know where to go from there. Coming close to happiness should be the real desired position for every man. You're close to what you want, and everything is just fantastic. You still know what you want, and it's in front of you, a little bit more and you're there.
But then what? I'm already here, people. Where do you go from here?

*This is a really wonderful thought. I should write it. I don't have enough discipline to span in into a book. I should.

Orang lain bisa membuatmu sedih dan jatuh, tapi yang kau lakukan adalah menggigit balik, menendang balik, menyerang balik. Jangan setuju dengan pandangan mereka, buktikan mereka salah.

You just gotta give me a chance

In a relationship, it doesn't matter how great a person is to you, there is always something to work on. What should matter is the willingness for each party to give its best effort. Then, whatever the result of that effort, it is only up to the other party to accept the effort and offer it's effort to adapt it's own expectation. Because in conflict resolvement, like more others, is only in the perception.

Yang bikin Taurus nggak hepi

Yang bikin Taurus nggak Happy;

1. Nggak jadi nomor satu diurusan apapun
2. Kalau salah ngomong
3. Berurusan sama si telmi
4. Kebaikan hatinya dimanfaatin orang lain
5. Bengong, nggak tau mau ngapain

looking for pleasant energy

Lately Dedet and I have lost some interest in our evening time, in short, bored. This circle ensured my mood swing. I'm trying hard to improvise in my daily activities.

The sopranos

After taking a load off, Tony gave comment about his therapy session.
tony: you know, sometimes what happens in here is like taking a shit.
psych: yes, okay. Although I prefer to think of it more like childbirth.
tony: trust me. It's like taking a shit.

Is this defending something for higher ground?

DJ EU Criticizes Indonesia Over Planned Executions

BRUSSELS (AP)--The European Union criticized Indonesia on Thursday over the planned executions of three Christian militiamen who took part in religious clashes with Muslims six years ago.

"News of the imminent execution of three Indonesian citizens, which is all the more serious in the light of the fragile equilibrium that exists between different ethnic and religious groups, cannot fail to cause concern to Europe," said Franco Frattini, vice-president of the European Commission.

Capital punishment is banned in the European Union.

The three men are scheduled to be put to death Saturday for their role in the sectarian bloodshed on the island of Sulawesi in 2000 in which 1,000 people died. The fighting was part of a larger war between Muslims and Christians in the neighboring Maluku archipelago in which up to 9,000 perished.

Although clashes petered out by 2001, sporadic attacks on Christians have continued. These included the beheading last year of three Christian schoolgirls.

"We must discourage the culture of death and promote reason, dialogue, reciprocity, understanding and, above all, respect for different societies and religions," Frattini said.

====================


I know hatred is probably a part of human culture and history, but lately I just lose patience over the topic. A religion can be so beautiful on life's perspective. It can also be the worst reason for hating.
We should do something about this.

I never stood for this, I DON'T CARE what the reason is. Sins aren't YOUR concern, and neither

I wish I have more pictures taken

 

Cuek Bebek

Dedet's nephew. According to our culture, children of brothers and sisters from her mother's line are hers. So, stand corrected, it's her daughter. 

Don't explain

Lagu ini membuatku merinding ketika pertama kali kudengar Billie Holiday. Ketika aku mendengarkan Herbie dengan dua vokalis membawakannya, aku masih merinding.


Don't explain

Billie Holiday / Arthur Herzog Jr.

Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad your back, don't explain

Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't explain

You know that I love you
And what endures
All my thoughts of you
For I'm so completely yours

Cry to hear folks chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet

Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don't explain

Vemil saved our reception by keeping the too-much cultured MC off the mike. It was more than three years ago, I can't believe it! These happy days I'm living right now :)
