KEEPING MY SANITY

| | |

I believe that many people have reasons why they write in diaries/journals/blogs.:P Hey, I can even list some of those here pretty easy: 1."I just love writing. It's my hobby." 2.I think too much. If I don't do something really constructive and productive about it, I am afraid that my poor head will soon explode!*big evil grin* 3."I write better than I talk, and I don't feel like wasting other people's precious time listening (and waiting impatiently) to my stutterings. That's awfully embarrassing!" 4."Not everybody in the world can always accept brutal honesty. That's what I am truly aware of." 5."I feel that the world is slowly lacking sympathy.:( Still, you know what to do when nobody bothers to at least spend a little time to listen to your problems." 6."I can be my own heroine in my own storybook!";D 7.... ...and the list could go on forever. However, I'd like to sum it all up with my own reason these days: "This is my way of keeping my sanity." ......................... *big evil grin* Yes, people. That's right. I am seriously addicted to writing. This has been my therapy. You may and may not like what I write in here. That is truly up to you. Besides, I am just here to present my point of view. So, welcome to my world. The Author

THE LOVE BALLAD AND ME :P

10/1/2007

It's finally October.:) I hope it will bring a new hope and more enthusiasm in life for everybody too.;)
And speaking of October, my college best friend Pumpkin's birthday is tomorrow!:D God, I've been missing him so. I know we still live in the same city, but...*deep sigh* I know, we're both busy with our own life and jobs.:| But still, I'm going to give him a call tomorrow. I know how busy a fashion editor for Cosmopolitan Indonesia can be.:P I must watch out for that, hehe.
Lately, I've been listening to the same love ballad over and over again. (And I hope the CD won't get scratched, or else my sister will definitely kill me!*big evil grin*) Since this song is performed by two local musicians Yovie Widianto featuring Monita, I can understand if many of you here aren't familiar.;) Well, that's okay. I just want to share you the reason I love this song pretty much. It's called "Kekasih Sejati" (A True Lover). I love the sound of the piano, the strings' arrangement, and even Monita's clear and soft voice.:)
But most of all, it's in the beautifully written lyric:

"Aku yang memikirkan,
namun aku tak banyak berharap.
Kau membuat waktuku
tersita dengan angan tentangmu."

(I'm the one who's thinking,
but I don't hope for too much.
You're making my time
wasted with thoughts of you.)

"Mencoba lupakan, tapi ku tak bisa.
Mengapa begini?"

(Trying to forget, but I can't.
Why is this happening?)

"Oh, mungkin aku bermimpi menginginkan dirimu
untuk ada di sini menemaniku.
Oh, mungkinkah kau yang jadi kekasih sejatiku?
Semoga tak sekedar harapku..."

(Oh, perhaps I'm dreaming of wanting you
to be here beside me.
Oh, could the true lover be possibly you?
Hopefully, it isn't just my hope...)

"Bila kau menjadi milikku,
aku takkan menyesal telah jatuh hati..."

(If you become mine,
I'll never regret falling in love...)

*deep sigh* Pretty sad, huh?:P I know I'm not exactly a good interpreter here, but I just hope it fits.
For now, this normally-a-rock-fan tomboy still gets herself stuck to this love ballad.:P Why? She's silently praying all through this fasting month, and may God give her the best answer...;)
