go do!
I just have to share this one. Great great spirit-boosting-song from Jónsi :D
I was at my lowest point this week and this song literally cheered me up! Love you Jónsi!
Go do! XD
Go sing, too loud
Make your voice break- Sing it out
Go scream, do shout
Make an earthquake...
You wish fire would die and turn colder
You wish your young could see you grow older
We should always know that we can do anything
Go drum, too proud
Make your hands ache - Play it out
Go march through crowds
Make your day break...
You wish silence released noise in tremors
You wish, I know it, surrender to summers
We should always know that we can do everything
Go do, you'll know how to
Just let yourself, fall into landslide
Go do, you'll know how to
Just let yourself, give into low tide
Go do!
Tie strings to clouds
Make your own lake - Let it flow
Throw seeds to sprout
Make your own break - Let them grow
Let them grow (Endless summers)
Let them grow (Endless summers)
(Go do endless summers)
You will survive, will never stop wonders
You and sunrise, will never fall under
You will survive, will never stop wonders
You and sunrise, will never fall under
We should always know that we can do everything
Go do!
fruity bubbly happy :D

shit happens and life goes on.
Okay *inhaling deeply*
First of all, i'm really sorry to break my own promise to post a new artwork. This one would be another rant. But i'll make it short. It's just that i have to spit it out to feel better :)
So, 2 days ago, an epic shit happened. We're supposed to have a 3-days big event, after months of hardwork, but the event got canceled. On the D-day. Yes on the D-day. When everyone were ready. When the spirits were high. When everything were set. And just half an hour before the opening, the venue's owner canceled it all. zap. all. No negotiation. We just stood numb and could do nothing about it.
People were mad and dissapointed. There were more than 70 tenants and bands have to pack their things back. But all the protests and anger couldn't change the fact that our event has been cancelled. I, myself, funnily did not feel anything. It was just like somebody has drained all the energy out of me, but i didn't feel any emotion at all. I was concerned more about my friend who was in charge of the event and had worked a thousand time harder than i was preparing this event. I couldn't imagine how he felt at that time.
And now all we have is this mess to be taken care of. Luckily many people keep supporting us, thanks guys you know who you are :) And yesterday, a quote keep playing over and over in my head, it was once said by my friend, Uci :
"Terpeleset itu sakit. Namun bodoh kalau kita tidak mau bangkit. Masa mau jalan ngesot?" :)
I can't translate it properly but i think it goes like this more or less:
"It hurts to fall down on the floor. But it's stupid if you don't want to stand up again. What are you going to do? crawling?" *um, don't think "crawl" is the exact translation but couldn't find a better one than that* :p
Okay so let's stand up and get on with your life. Shit happens, yet life goes on :)
Have a nice day everyone! gambatte! :)

Mau jadi apa 5 tahun mendatang?
“...Trus gw ditanya, ‘Dalam 5 tahun mendatang, kamu mau jadi apa?’, gw bingung jawabnya, cil...ini pertanyaan yang gak pernah bisa gw jawab dari dulu.”
Sepenggal kalimat seorang teman di telepon tiba-tiba ikutan membuat saya galau kemarin. Hehehe. 5 taun mendatang mau jadi apa? Apa ya? Saya juga gak bisa jawab. Siapa yang tau apa yang bakal terjadi 5 taun mendatang? Apakah saya masih hidup atau enggak aja, gak ada kepastian.
Anyway, this question was glued on my mind since yesterday. What will i be in the next 5 years?
Ini sama ketika pas jaman smp-kuliah ditanya cita-citanya apa. Bingung. Mau jadi apa? Padahal dulu pas masih piyik, ini pertanyaan paling gampang yang bisa saya jawab. Saya mau jadi dokter (jawaban paling standar tapi paling keren di kalangan anak-anak TK dulu :p). Mau jadi astronot. Detektif. Pelukis. Pemain sirkus. hehehe :p
Tapi mulai SMP-SMA, tiba-tiba pertanyaan ini jadi sulit. Cita-citanya apa?
......Apa ya?
Kalo jawab pelukis, pasti ditanya “Hah? Mau makan apa ntar? Dapet duit darimana?”
Kalo jawab astronot, gak mungkin. Secara pelajaran IPA dan geografi dulu nilainya doremi, bisa diketawain orang-orang.
Apalagi jawab jadi detektif atau pemain sirkus. Bisa ditebak, orang yang nanya pasti akan memandangi saya dengan tatapan ini-anak-waras-gak-sih.
Awal kuliah, saya punya template jawaban standar untuk pertanyaan ini.
“Jadi desainer grafis”
Ya iyalah secara kuliahnya desain grafis, kurang jelas apalagi coba. Padahal waktu itu, apa yang dilakukan desainer grafis, enggak ngerti juga :p Tadinya saya pikir jawaban ini cukup untuk membungkam orang-orang yang nanya. Tapi ternyata...it led to other questions : “Desainer grafis itu ngapain?” “Yang kerjanya gambar rumah ya?” “Duitnya emang gede?” dan sejuta pertanyaan lainnya. doh!
People.just.can.never.be.satisfied.
Pas masuk kerja sebagai junior art director, ditanya sama HRD, dalam 5 tahun mendatang mau jadi apa. Lama-lama saya merasa pertanyaan ini kayak hantu, selalu ngikutin kemana-mana. Terpaksa deh boong-boong dikit.
“Ya moga-moga bisa jadi creative grouphead atau seenggaknya senior art director yang disenangi klien dan menang banyak award...bla bla bla bla”
Padahal dalam hati sih nyaut dengan nyolot “Kok lo pede banget gw mau kerja disini sampai 5 tahun kedepan?” hehehehehehe :p
Bener kan, kurang dari 5 tahun, saya udah memutuskan jadi freelancer. Anehnya, sekarang saya bingung lagi kalau ditanya 5 tahun mendatang mau jadi apa. Biasanya sih jawaban klise : “pengen hepi terus aja”.
Seorang teman sekantor dulu pernah bilang kalau saya harus bikin blueprint buat diri sendiri. Punya target. Otherwise my life would be wasted.
Saya balik nanya, emang dia tau dia bakalan jadi apa dalam 5 tahun mendatang.
“Tau”, katanya. “Jadi musisi”.
Gak puas, saya tanya lagi “Kalo lo mau jadi musisi, kenapa lo ngabisin bertaun-taun di advertising agency kemaren?”
Dan dia bilang, dalam idup lo, harus ada trial and error. Dulu dia yakin cita-citanya di advertising. Tapi setelah dijalanin, ternyata bukan. “It’s okay to have this trial and error in your life until you find what are you really looking for”, katanya.
Kemarin, pertanyaan itu datang menghantui saya lagi. Dan sampai hari ini, saya tetap gak bisa jawab. Tapi setelah mikir-mikir, saya rasa, jawabannya ada di trial and error yang disebut-sebut tadi. Our life, is simply about trial and error. Seandainya pun ada orang yang berhasil menggapai mimpinya, saya yakin suatu saat dia akan sampai pada titik jenuh, and he would have to invent another dream to go for, and feel alive again. Don’t be afraid to die trying to pursue your dreams, because that’s what a dream costs. That expensive. Bener gak?
My friend Chatrin wrote on her journal, that her 2011 resolution is “to want something badly enough”. I think that’s the best resolution i’ve ever read so far :)
To want something badly enough. Because that is what keeps you alive. That keeps you go on running and fighting and keeps the blood in your veins flowing. Whether that’s the right destination or not, the best thing for you or not, you can only know if you had walk the path :)
Saya punya jawaban pribadi yang saya pikirkan selama semalaman kemarin. Hehehe.
I want to be the best this life could offer me to be. And who knows what life can offer? :)
Sorry to begin this year with tons of rants :p (Maklum, labil, jadi suka nyampah di blog hehehe) Next post will be a new work. Promise :)
Jadi? Kamu mau jadi apa dalam 5 tahun mendatang? :D
(Kalau menghadapi pertanyaan ini dalam interview kerja dengan HRD, jawaban terbaik saya contek dari mbak Dina Riyanti : “I want to be YOUR BOSS” hahahah)
Have a nice day all! :)

January 01, 2011
0.1.0.1.2.0.1.1
So...
It’s 2011 :)
Just another ordinary day, actually :) It’s just that we humans have a need to review our lives every year, and list down hopes and resolutions, and January 1st had been chosen to mark this moment :)
Spent the New year’s eve with some close friends, going to movies, eating out, and having fun at Bundaran HI, joining hundreds of Jakarta people in a firework euphoria, which dissolved instantly with the last firework vanishing in the sky. Poof! and suddenly it’s a normal day again :)
I’m proud to say that i survived 2010 :)
There were ups and downs, achievements and disappointments, all the unpredictable moments, and here i am, still living and breathing normally and blogging on the first day of 2011 :D And i’m really thankful for that.
If i had this turning-back-the-time supernatural ability, i would play the happy moments over and over and rewind some moments to be fixed here and there, and maybe even pause some moments i would love to live in forever. I would’ve done this, I would’ve done that, I should’ve be here, I should’ve be there, I shouldn’t say this, I shouldn’t say that, and the list goes on and on.
But sadly i don’t have such power :) Life goes on and all i can do is trying to keep my pace steady so i wouldn’t stumble to the ground.
I give up making resolutions this year, because basically, my resolution every year is a cliche, to be a better person, which, i do hope, i have accomplished this year :p A friend once quoting Woody Allen to me, “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans” :)
What will be 2011 like? I don’t know. Whether it’s gonna be a good year or a bad one, let us live to the fullest, have regrets and satisfactions, feel bitter and sweet, happy and sad, be simple and complicated, because all of these make us human. Let’s hope we can survive one more year, together :)
Happy new year everyone! :)
Dalam diriku mengalir
sungai panjang
darah namanya
Dalam diriku menggenang
telaga darah
sukma namanya
Dalam diriku meriak
gelombang sukma
hidup namanya
Dan karena hidup itu indah
Aku menangis
sepuas-puasnya.
