you, beach and an empty jar




October 20**
4:45 AM
Kuta beach



The small of sand tastes sweet in my lips
A liquor of Jack D inside a bottle of Aqua
A hidden smile looks good on you
then you nod.. asking me to sit with you




UH: Can I ask you something?
J: Of course.... Tonight you can ask me anything
UH: Why are you so cheerful? I'm here listening to your life stories and I don't get it. How come you're so happy?
J: (I smile)
UH: Wait a minute... You're not happy aren't you?
J: Everybody wears their own mask, honey.
UH: Can I tell you something?
J: You're going to tell me anyway right?



UH: (his smiles can melt my heart)


Every person walk around this planet like an empty jar.
And they are always trying to find a way to fill this jar
So most of them will try to find big rocks to fill it
These big rocks can be so many different things for each person
It can be a very succesful career, happy marriage, and many others
But they don't realize they still have this empty spaces between the big rocks
That's why most of them will always feel empty
Do you want to know the real secret to be happy?



You fill the jar with sands
Little by little, ever small, insignificant happiness you fill that in your jar
and finally you jar is filled and full..
That's when you feel like you don't need to find anything else and stop looking...



J: Then let me ask you this. Are you happy?
UH: Are you kidding me? Sitting on a beach waitingfor a sunrise with a Jack D in my hands and a great company besides me. What else I'm looking for? Yes. I am happy.


the ocean is smiling at us
the moon began to dissapear
the wind is playing with my hair
he brush my hair from my forehead




UH: Come on. Let's drive you home. You have to go to work in 2 hours

In time of need...

... all I need is you




GI: Babe, I understand how hard this is.. but you're the toughest girl besides j*** that I know.. I know you can get through this easily

OR: Halah. Udahlah nyet. Soal kayak gini ga bakal ngelukain loe.. Loe mah pasti gampang dapet k****** b***

RS: Hm... honestly, if this happen to someone else I would've worried.. but because it's you and the things that you accomplish? Seriously? You're still worried?

NA: Jen, orang selevel loe ga perlu kuatir lagi. Sumpah. G yakin kok dalam sebulan juga loe dapet t******

YM: Sorry banget nyet. Ya udah lah. Emang loe lagi sial bgt tahun ini.. but you're a very strong person.. Ini cuma kerikil doank buat loe

One sentence that ends it all...
GI, OR, RS, NA, YM: "Kan gw masih di sini"


Sumpah.. mengharu biru gw..
I guess, when you're in your time of need you finally can see how other people actually perceive you
and one more thing for sure
I cannot ask for better groups of bestfriends..
Literally, I can NOT live without you

does it matter anymore?




Good morning heartache
You old gloomy sight
Good morning heartache
Thought we said goodbye last night
I turned and tossed until it seems you have gone
But here you are with the dawn
Wish I forget you, but you’re here to stay
It seems I met you
When my love went away
Now everyday I stop I’m saying to you
Good morning heartache what’s new


Stop haunting me now
Can’t shake you no how
Just leave me alone
I’ve got those Monday blues
Straight to Sunday blues
Good morning heartache
Here we go again
Good morning heartache
You’re the one
Who knows me well
Might as well get use to you hanging around
Good morning heartache
Sit down
~ Billie Holiday ~








bayangan sayapku melambung di angkasa
napafasku tersengal di kandas impian
aku ingat perasaan itu
aku tidak merindukanmu
hantu yang memekik di keheningan jiwa
aku sudah tiada

L O V E





A girl asks a boy "Why there should be love?"


The boy reply "So there would be great stories to be told when we get old”





If it is that true love never dies, then why all lovers have to struggle to stay alive?

Fishing

When there is a goldfish
that lives in the ocean and took a bait


Who should we blame?

the ocean for keeping the goldfish when he knows the goldfish doesn't belong there
the goldfish because she's living in the ocean, and she is a freshwater fish
the goldfish because she took the bait
the bait because he tries to seduce the goldfish that doesn't belong in the ocean
or the fisherman that seduce the goldfish with the bait?

Tippy Toe Tin



Tippy Toe Tin likes to tip on her toe
With her Jimmy Choo shoes and her vintage Prada bag
She tip on her toes
Tip Toe Tip Toe
Trippty Tee Trippty toe
Her heel clicks in each steps


Tippy Toe Tin talks to the Pig, her bestfriend
Tippy Toe Tin tip-toed around the surface of the pond
where the water is green and the end is blue



Tippy Toe Tin likes to whispers to the Sultan that sits on a bug
they play guessing games, the Tippy Toe Tin and the Sultan


Tippy Toe Tin likes the bug
she whisper to the Winnie the Pooh
secret secret


Tippy Toe Tin fiddle with the moon
while longing for the clouds


Tippy Toe Tin, the pig, the Sultan, the bug, and the Winnie the Pooh


One afternoon, the moon lowered and whisper
"there's a message from the stars"
" hello, he said. how are you, he asked"


Tippy Toe Tin sings under her breath
Tippy Toe Tin sings on top of her lungs


You pick yourself up off the ground to have me knock you back down
Again and again and when you ask me to explain
I say, I've got to be...

Cruel to be kind in the right measure
Cruel to be kind it's a very good sign
Cruel to be kind means that I love you
Baby, got to be cruel, you got to be cruel to be kind



Tippy Toe Tin click on the tip of her toes



The moon breaks
and with that the Moon become the Crescent Moon
because the truth, the message is from the Moon
and the first crystal snow is form

Labeling

RF: (after 4 months knowing me) Tapi loe tuh sebagai cewek emang dominant banget. Gw rasa selama ini pasti loe yg dominasi cowok2 loe.

AC: (after 1.5 hours meet) A smart, tough dominant girl like you. In Indonesia market, diinjak atau menginjak. It's either you're going to get a whimpy guy or a much older guy. BTW, 'strong' is a soft way to say that you're dominant

T: (after meet up 4 times) Aduuuhhh jen, kalo loe mau punya cowok harus lebih feminin dikit.

AW: (after almost 6 years we never met) Oh single? Emang cewek kayak loe terlalu independent sih untuk bergantung ama cowok. Too little vagina and to much penis yah?




Whooa.. what's with the labeling and stereotyping?
Whoever my PR is.. she needs to get fired



"Jen, you're like a crocodile-skin Louis Vitton bag. Only people with particular taste will know the real value, and most importantly, not that many people can afford it."

hmm... ok.. I can live with that
Tapi bo... jangan lama2 ya nabungnya.... nanti gw discount kan ga lucu

Reality Bites



One night

One Call

One small secret revelation

She whispers between the voices of her pain

"I sabotage my own relationship... I wonder whether I'll be able to make any relationship work"





Oh baby,

I really want to tell you...


that we are fucked up



Fucked up by Disney.. That's what I really wanted to tell you
We grow up watching these movies....
Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty..... thinking that we are the damsel in distress and we need a knight in shining armor to save us..

There's even a whole disorder named after one of disney character

Cinderella Complex

Described as an unconscious desire to be taken care of by others, based primarily on a fear of being independent.



This complex is named after the fairy tale character Cinderella, popularized by the Disney movie of the same name. It is based on the idea of women that the story portrays, as being beautiful, graceful and polite but who cannot be strong independent characters themselves, and who must be rescued by an outside force, usually a man (e.g. the Prince). Any strong female characters who do have power are seen as wicked and nefarious (e.g. the stepmother).




We really do have to applaud them..
We've been really screwed, man..

Well baby,
Wake up and the smell the stinkin' roses ..
Nobody will save us
No knight, No Prince Charming that will come in their white horse, bring us glass slipper and wake us from our 1000years of sleeping
Happily Ever After is overrated
1 out 2 marriage ends up in divorce
And I bet the other half just hate each other and stay for the sake of the kid
If the statistic doens't make you depressed, I don't know what else

Even Barbie and Ken have a famous on-off relationship
and Barbie has thirty-eight recorded pets, owned pink convertibles, trailers, jeeps, holds a pilot's license, and lacking 17 to 22 percent body fat required.
If she can't make it, I don't know who else

As sabotaging your relationship..
you're not Barbie and he's not prince charming that will save you
So I say....
If you're lucky enough to find one person that can make your stomach twist
you hold on to it and embrace it

These days you'll be lucky if you can find someone that you can live with
even when ideally you want to find someone that you can't live without

Stories




"I have a story..."


That's it!
The first sentence everytime you call me
You and your stories
One Q before you continue..
Does it give you pleasure to see me in pain?

Before you continue..
you see that dusty throne?
yep my friend.. that was mine..
I left it a while ago..

Before you say another word..
newsflash..
I'm SO over that world

So take a leap,
and please swim in your own drama and don't drag me into it

One Evening

asaku terbuai..

And I still have a day or two ahead of me
'A Plain Morning-Dashboard Confessional'

Everybody deserve second chance
But only lucky people got their third chance
I never got either

How many special people change
How many lives are living strange
Where were you while we were getting high?
'Champagne Supernova-Oasis'

J: While you're at it. Doain buat g juga donk
NA: God is busy. He only listens one pray at one time

What scares me..
He might be right








telanjangi aku dengan tatapanmu
kamu dan aku
aku dan dia
kamu dan dia
empat manusia duduk di sini
empat gabriel datang mengantarkan pesannya masing-masing
detik itu ketika kita semua berbicara
pembicaraan yg aneh
aneh
dan kamu memperkosaku dgn kata-katamu


Hai kamu
untuk 3 pria yang kemarin sore meluangkan waktu denganku
dalam waktu yg bersamaan
ketika dunia berhenti menjadi aneh
ketika itu aku akan mati

I Just Got Married!!!

Well…. Sort of






It’s the same concept.


“For the rest of your fuckin miserable life”



Only this kinda commitment gives you more freedom
It’s not going to ask you to quit smoke
It’s not going to ask you to stop swearing
It’s not going to ask where you are and what you’re doing for every other hour
But MY commitment is a pain in the neck. Literally.

Well, I guess it’s given when you have a tattoo on the nape of your neck.
OH MY GOD! Is it painful or what?!!



Memoirs of Geisha quote that at their time, the man finds the sexiest part of women body is their nape of neck
Most men will confirm that they find the nape of a woman’s neck is very sexy
Why do you think doggy style is so popular?
Is that why I choose to have a tattoo there?
Maybe
Maybe Not
I don’t really give a fuck actually.

All hands on deck don’t abandon the ship
You’ll never know what it could have been
All hands on deck my ship is sinking
Don’t let me go, Don’t let me drown

A step to the right to your own rhythm
And what comes next is up to you
And I need a miracle to save me from this
And I need the angels to all pray for me
I can’t believe you

Another day another worry
Breaks right through
And indecision bleeds me dry
He’s turning pages I’m not making for him
He’s painting pictures without me in mind
I can’t believe you

The long walks on Moon Light beach
The promises you could not keep
Your so contagious, Your so contagious
For all the world we did not see
For all the smiles you gave to me
They're so contagious, So contagious
So very fake

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

CONGRATULATION ON YOUR SECOND ENGAGEMENT !!!!

Thursday, January 12, 2006


Few (weird) facts about Bali from Jen’s eye:

1. People wear their helmet everywhere. I mean it! Bahkan waktu jalan2 di Mall, mereka tidak melepas helm mereka. Aneh sekalii


2. Even though their main religion is Hindu, they have Buddha painting everywhere! What’s with that? It’s like I’m a Catholic and sells al’quran for a living.


3. The name of the streets is bizarre, example: Gang King Kong, Jalan Simpang Siur, Jalan Monang Maning, and many others. Next we know, they are going to have a street name Jalan Pusing Tujuh Keliling


4. Two main things in Bali that you will find in EVERY corner: Polo stores and Babi Guling restaurants.

5. In walking, watch out for persembahan/ sesajen and dog shit. Believe me, you don’t want to step on either two.

6. If Jakarta is the city of Malls, Cafes and Apartments. Bali is the city of furniture boutique, art stores, surf stores and restaurants/lounges.

7. Nama lain dari Bali besides Pulau Dewata is Khilaf Island!! Because many people, once in Bali jadi sering khilaf.. Serius gw!!

8. Bali survival guide in finding your way (according to Jen):

a. In addition to Kuta Square, your mark is statues! Since the statues are everywhere, it’s easier to mark them and finding your way.
b. Go get the BEAT magazines. It’s easier to find directions rather than using a map.
c. Do NOT ask directions from the local people. Mereka akan ngasih taunya pake.. “Yah, abis ini lurus trus ke arah Barat, abis itu ke arah Utara”. Huh???? What the? I’m not even sure that the sun sets in…??
