You're a cad

So now you want the whole world to notice that you've come around
Now you expect, We'll see how you're really so much better now
But I know the truth, I won't waste my youth

On a cad and a bounder, a dog and a cheap
All the lives that you've had, all the hearts you eat
You're a rascal and a rove, a villain and a crook
Still I tug at your line, I'm a fish on your hook
I should be better, but I'm worse

What's the point pretending that you could be a better man
Just give in, since you always end up right back where you began
Still I know the truth

But I have a sweet tooth for a cad and a bounder, a dog and a cheap
All the lives that you've had, all the hearts you eat
You're a rascal and a rove, a villain and a crook
Still I tug at your line, I'm a fish on your hook
You're rash and you're hasty
You're reckless with my heart, still I wait by the phone
I will never get smart
I should be better, but I'm worse

In The Waiting Line


Underneath the moon, underneath the stars
Here is a little heart for you
Up above the world, up above it all
Here is a hand to hold on to

Take a little time, walk a little line
Get the balance right on
Give a little love, give me just enough
So that I can hang on tight

We will be alright,I will be by your side.

just in time


Jesse: What do you think were the chances of us ever meeting again?
Celine: After that December, I'd say almost zero. But we're not real anyway, right? We're just, uh, characters in that old lady's dream. She's on her deathbed, fantasizing about her youth. So of course we had to meet again.


Jesse: You want to know why I wrote that stupid book?
Celine: Why?
Jesse: So that you might come to a reading in Paris and I could walk up to you and ask, "Where the fuck were you?"
Celine: [laughing] No - you thought I'd be here today?
Jesse: I'm serious. I think I wrote it, in a way, to try to find you.
Celine: Okay, that's - I know that's not true, but that's sweet of you to say.
Jesse: I think it is true.


Celine: Do I look any different?
[
long pause]
Celine: I do?
Jesse: I'd have to see you naked.

Jesse: [describing how she looks different] Skinnier, I think. A little thinner.
Celine: Did you think I was fat before?
Jesse: [laughing] No!
Celine: Yeah, you thought I was a fatty. No, you thought I was a fatty! Yeah, you, you wrote a book about a fat French girl!
Jesse: No, listen...
Celine: [laughing] Oh, no...
Jesse: Seriously, all right, you look beautiful.


Jesse: Oh, God, why weren't you there, in Vienna?
Celine: I told you why.
Jesse: Well, I know why, I just - I wish you would have been. Our lives might have been so much different.
Celine: You think so?
Jesse: I actually do.
Celine: Maybe not. Maybe, we would have hated each other eventually.
Jesse: Oh what, like we hate each other now?
Celine: You know, maybe we're - we're only good at brief encounters, walking around in European cities in warm climate.



Jesse: In the months leading up to my wedding, I was thinking about you all the time. I mean, even on my way there; I'm in the car, a buddy of mine is driving me downtown and I'm staring out the window, and I think I see you, not far from the church, right? Folding up an umbrella and walking into a deli on the corner of 13th and Broadway. And I thought I was going crazy, but now I think it probably was you.
Celine: I lived on 11th and Broadway.
Jesse: You see?


Celine: The past is the past. It was meant to be that way.
Jesse: What, you really believe that? That everything's fated?
Celine: Well, you know, the world might be less free than we think.
Jesse: Yeah?
Celine: Yeah, when given these exact circumstances, that's what will happen every time: two part hydrogen, one part oxygen, you get water every time.
Jesse: No, no, I - I - I mean what if your grandmother had lived a week longer, or, you know, or passed away a week earlier, days even. You know things might have been different. I believe that.
Celine: You can't think like that, it's...
Jesse: No, I mean, I know you shouldn't on most things, but - It's just, on this one it seemed like something was off, you know?


Jesse: I feel like if someone were to touch me, I'd dissolve into molecules.

Celine: So, I want to try something.
Jesse: What?
Celine: [hugs him] I want to see if you stay together or if you dissolve into molecules.
Jesse: How'm I doing?
Celine: Still here.
Jesse: Good, I like being here.



Celine: Baby, you are gonna miss that plane.
Jesse: I know.

Enjoy Jakarta


"Kamu long weekend mau kemana, mba" tanya saya kepada salah satu sahabat saya "ya, mall to mall lah tunn hihii yukmariii."

..dalam hati saya berujar, kesian ya orang Jakarta kalo hari libur cuma bisa ke mall.

Bukannya saya tidak bersyukur bisa diberi kemudahan dengan adanya 1001 mall di Jakarta Raya ini, dimana sebenarnya kalo kita mengunjungi salah satu mall tersebut bisa mendapatkan apa saja yang kita mau, jadi rasa-rasanya kalau dipikir mungkin memang akan menghemat waktu untuk sebagian warga Jakarta yang ingin memenuhi segala kebutuhannya jadi tidak perlu repot-repot lagi kesana kemari.

Tapi untuk saya pribadi, kalau sudah menjelang weekend atau hari libur, kalo ditanya teman enaknya mau kemana atau ngapain jawaban saya "mana aja deh, asal jangan ke mall". Pernah pada suatu malam minggu saya membuat jadwal khusus dengan teman saya, bisa ko kita nonton sama makan tapi bukan di mall. Akhirnya kita bela-belain nonton di Metropole XXI. Setelah saya coba cari tau sejenak, bioskop ini sudah didirikan sejak tahun 1949 dan pada masanya bioskop ini diperuntukkan untuk golongan elite yang tinggal di sekitar daerah Menteng.


Belum lama ini bioskop ini memang baru direnovasi jadi saya juga tertarik untuk melihatnya, udah ga di-mall baru direnovasi pula.. jatuh cinta-lah saya dengan ide brilian ini. Kebetulan pas malam itu hujan mengguyur Jakarta jadi area di sekitar lobi bioskop memang menjadi aga kotor karena ada bekas sepatu terkena air hujan dan sebagainya, tetapi selebihnya bioskop tersebut cukup nyaman.


Karena masih ada sisa cukup waktu, saya juga sempat makan dulu di sekitar daerah situ, tempat makan tersebut juga didirikan di sebuah bangunan tua, jadi interior dalamnya masih sangat kental dengan struktur bangunan tua.



Kalau suasana hati saya sedang baik atau sedang bergejolak pasti saya akan mengajak teman-teman saya untuk melakukan berbagai kegiatan selain hanya pergi ke mall. Seperti saya pernah menghabiskan suatu sore hanya untuk sekedar duduk dan mengobrol bersama sambil makan rujak di Taman Menteng. Menurut saya momen-momen seperti ini jauh lebih berharga dibandingkan duduk mengobrol di sebuah cafe di mall selama berjam-jam. Pemandangan yang saya dapatkan juga jauh lebih menyejukkan hati, bisa sambil melihat sejumlah anak-anak berolahraga, bersepeda atau hanya sekedar mengajak anak-anaknya bermain-main di taman.




Beberapa waktu yang lalu, sahabat saya juga pernah menggelar peragaan busana di Taman Menteng yang menurut saya dengan cara seperti ini memberikan warna baru dan kesan yang berbeda dibandingkan dengan peragaan-peragaan busana yang diadakan di hotel berbintang.



Pengalaman lainnya saya juga pernah menyempatkan diri untuk melihat pesona air mancur di Monas. Pada waktu itu juga saya terpukau melihat atraksi air mancur yang konon kabarnya peralatannya jauh-jauh diimpor dan memakan biaya yang cukup mahal, menurut saya sayang sekali kalau ada acara khusus seperti ini kita lewatkan. Seingat saya tidak ada ada biaya khusus selain mungkin biaya parkir. Dan saya ini gila balon, jadi semua jenis balon waktu itu rasanya ingin saya bawa pulang :)


Masih banyak tempat-tempat di Jakarta lainnya yang layak kita kunjungi, jika ada waktu luang rasanya patut dipertimbangkan untuk menyempatkan diri melihat sisi-sisi lain Jakarta yang tidak kalah menarik dibandingkan hanya pergi menghabiskan waktu untuk ke mall.

Ps. ditunggu ya cerita atau pengalaman menarik lainnya dari teman2/kalau ada yg berminat menjelajah sisi Jakarta bersama :)

River Sea Ocean

Us you and me
River sea ocean
Moving on so far away and dreaming
Quality sea
Mix it to ocean

We can't survive more accidents
Our love is alive you know
It's never spent

Us
You
Me

Far away
Far away
Let it go
Far away

Twenty-Something Girls vs Thirty-Something Women



And then I realised something, twenty-something girls are just fabulous, until you see one with the man who broke your heart. - Carrie Bradshaw
