Kamu...
Aku menunggu hadirmu
Kamu...
Aku menantikan saat-saat bersamamu
Kamu...
Aku mau kau temani tawaku saat dunia begitu menghibur
Kamu...
Aku mau kau usap kepalaku saat kubutuh penyemangat
Kamu...
Aku ingin bersandar di bahumu saat kurasa lelah
Kamu...
Aku ingin duduk di sampingmu memandangi malam yang bertaburan bintang
tak ada yang lebih tabah
dari hujan bulan Juni
dirahasiakannya rintik rindunya
kepada pohon berbunga itu
tak ada yang lebih bijak
dari hujan bulan Juni
dihapusnya jejak-jejak kakinya
yang ragu-ragu di jalan itu
tak ada yang lebih arif
dari hujan bulan Juni
dibiarkannya yang tak terucapkan
diserap akar pohon bunga itu
I am boiled by the rage to know
choosing ignorance as my foe.
Upon me is the dark night of the soul
that hides (and taunts me with) my goal.
The agony of things unknown
has festered in my brain...and grown.
The weeks and months of sleepless nights
and deepest thought
Have come to naught-
or so at least it seems.
I flirt upon the edge of dreams
and the answer itself uncovers!
Things that I know like lovers
that I myself became
have made this problem tame!
I'm addicted to this calm force
that sweeps up all within its course
the overpowering, all-consuming ache
that tugs at all within its wake,
the yearning to know, a thirst to see
that wonderful torment - curiosity !
of wishing to know you well
to get closer to you...
Pray for Indonesia, tundukkan kepala tengadahkan tangan pada ilahi. Saat alam menyapa lewat sejuknya air namun terasa membara. Saat alam menyapa lewat hangatnya api namun terasa mengilukan.
Pray For Indonesia Berdoalah semoga kehendak Tuhan atas air di Mentawai dan api di Merapi bukan sebuah laknat buat Indonesiaku.
Pray for Indonesia 27 Oktober, biarlah sekedar peringatan yang membuat kita sadar untuk perbaiki diri. Biarlah menjadi ujian yang dengan kebersamaan, kita semua mampu tegar menjalani.
I ask the impossible: love me forever.
Love me when all desire is gone.
Love me with the single mindedness of a monk.
When the world in its entirety,
and all that you hold sacred advise you
against it: love me still more.
When rage fills you and has no name: love me.
When each step from your door to our job tires you--
love me; and from job to home again, love me, love me.
Love me when you're bored--
when every woman you see is more beautiful than the last,
or more pathetic, love me as you always have:
not as admirer or judge, but with
the compassion you save for yourself
in your solitude.
Love me as you relish your loneliness,
the anticipation of your death,
mysteries of the flesh, as it tears and mends.
Love me as your most treasured childhood memory--
and if there is none to recall--
imagine one, place me there with you.
Love me withered as you loved me new.
Love me as if I were forever--
and I, will make the impossible
a simple act,
by loving you, loving you as I do
There never was a reason
Why?
Always lingering
as if a cloud in the sky
I sit and think and nothing comes
Through miles and miles my mind does run
Of dreams shared
Everything to do
When the weather changed
From a soft warm breeze
To freezing rain tearing
My heart into pieces
Bringing me down to my knees
As tears roll down
Like autumn leaves
Forgotten...Lost
Not daring to make a sound
Confusion, Pain, and sorrow
Seem to always surround
These feelings I hide
Though in this search they seem to be
All I can find
But I still hope
You will be here with me....
I want to be with you,
but your millions of miles away.
i wish you would call just to ask about my day.
it would make things so much better if i could hear you voice,
I guess i can't complain too much, after all this was my choice.
i wish i could hold you in my arms and look in to your eyes.
i promise i will always be true to you and never tell you lies.
my tears are the only thing ill ever try to hide.
i lie awake in bed as the tears stream down my face,
they keep going until the hit my pillow case.
I Miss You...
Wanting,
lusting,
to be held,
to be loved,
to feel warmth,
to feel your beating heart.
Wanting to be sheltered from the cold,
heartless winds.
Falling into invisible arms;
into an abyss of love.
Wishing,
hoping,
that my desires will be filled;
my desires of loving warmth.
Wanting to be held,
comforted,
loved.
Dreaming of passionate embraces,
of tender kisses,
loving words,
romantic nights.
Waiting for undying love.
With You...only With YOU !
Jonathan Carmichael, I used to call him Jo, my American friend. Setiap kali datang ke
Jonathan pernah bilang, yang dia kagumi dari bangsa ini selain eksotisme alam juga “The Ladies” atau perempuannya. Aku bertanya : “Bukankah American Ladies jauh lebih keren, modern, pintar, cantik, seksi, canggih daripada Indonesian Ladies?” Jonathan answered : “ Bukan dari sisi itu kekagumanku pada perempuan
Tapi itu dulu…
Karena, kian hari kebanggaanku itu terkikis…
Hingga kian hari aku kian merasa “malu” pada apa yang terjadi pada masyarakatku, pada bangsa yang tadinya aku bangga-banggakan pada teman-temanku dari bangsa lain.
Belum lama kita tertohok oleh video besutan sutradara amatir asal
Dan kini, sedang hangat-hangatnya, lagi-lagi kita tertohok. Beberapa video mesum beredar luar di dunia maya, ironisnya pelakunya konon adalah para artis papan atas idola kawula muda. Kalau idola mereka berperilaku seperti itu lantas….Ohh betapa miris membayangkan buruk pengaruhnya terhadap perilaku kaum muda. Di sekolah tempatku bekerja, anak-anak usia SMA membicarakan hal itu. Bahkan adikku yang masih duduk di bangku Sekolah Dasar dan kebetulan mengidolakan vokalis P**erp** menanyakan banyak hal seputar apa yang dia dengar dari berita di TV. Lagi-lagi, miris…
Bahkan berita-berita buruk tersebut sampai ke manca Negara, nun jauh sampai pula ke telinga Jonathan. Aku tidak bisa menjawab saat dia menanyakan kasus itu. Malu !
Dulunya, sebagai bangsa yang terbelakang secara ekonomi, pengetahuan dan teknologi, juga SDM, setidaknya masih ada yang bisa aku banggakan dari bangsa ini yaitu budi pekerti yang luhur, budaya santun, adat-istiadat ketimuran yang bernilai. Tapi kini, ketika kita semakin tercerabut dari nilai-nilai itu, ibarat pohon yang semakin tercerabut dari akarnya, apalagi yang bisa kita banggakan dari bangsa ini ??? Apakah nasib kita sama seperti pohon itu, terombang-ambing oleh tiupan angin dan terpaan badai.
Bukankan seharusnya segi-segi positif yang bisa kita teladani dari budaya barat, kemajuan pengetahuan dan teknologi, etos dan semangat kerja, kedisiplinan, SDM yang qualified. Ironisnya, kita melupakan segi-segi positif itu, on the contrary malah lebih mudah menyerap hal-hal negative budaya barat seperti
Mari kita renungkan, hal-hal buruk yang lebih menonjol dari bangsa kita di dunia internasional. Peringkat tinggi dalam hal korupsi, grafik meningkat dalam kasus-kasus penyalah gunaan narkoba, aborsi, seks bebas. Dan akhir-akhir ini bermunculan bintang-bintang porno. It’s time to stop it ! Tidak mudah membenahi sosio-culture masyarakat yang telah rusak karena segenap pihak harus bekerja sama, tapi at least kita bisa mulai dari hal terkecil di sekeliling kita, kita mulai dari diri kita sendiri, kita mulai saat ini juga. Saatnya kembali menancapkan diri pada akar kita, budaya ketimuran yang adiluhur, serta yang terpenting adalah relijiusitas sebagai kontrol diri.
For Indonesian Ladies, siapa lagi yang bisa menghargai diri kita selain diri kita sendiri, perilaku kita sendiri. Jangan mengharapkan orang lain menghargai kita kalau kita sendiri tidak bisa menjaga kehormatan kita sendiri.
This is what I want to write, not for my American friend, Jonathan Carmichael only, but also for all my Indonesian friends.
I'm right here, I'm confused
I'm right here, why can you see right through?
Every day that passes by
Loving you is something I couldn't deny
Everything you see is not what it seems
Every night, you're the one who's in my dreams
May be you don't even feel this
That when we talked it's hard for me to breathe
Every single day I patiently wait
Because all I wanted was for you to stay
May be you don't even know this
That secretly I'm triyin' to make it real
You gave me enough reason to smile each day
Because my sky was dark until you came
My world was nothing better than it is now
Now, that I knew that someone like you exist
If someday you'll know what everything should be
Maybe you'll realize how much I bleed
But I'll be here and always waiting for the chance
Because my heart beats for you as long as I'm breathing
Because secretly you're my Destination...
It can be tough to remember all the healthy choices at fast food restaurants with so many to choose from. Our Quick Guides can help, but if you're in a restaurant and you don't know what to order, keep some of these tips in mind:
A Better Burger
- Choose sandwiches with boiled or broiled meats such as lean roast beef, turkey, chicken breast, or lean ham. If the bread is thick, remove the top and cut the bottom lengthwise and use one half as the top.
- If you do order regular menu items at a burger joint, make sure it's without toppings, sauces, or mayonnaise. These extras cost calories. Instead, add flavor with mustard and layer on the veggies for fiber, crunch, and flavor.
- A side salad is an excellent way to include veggies with a fast food meal. They're easy on the wallet, too. Just be sure to watch out for high-fat toppings like regular dressings, bacon bits, cheeses, etc. If you know your salad comes with these items, ask them to be omitted. Always order your choice of light dressing on the side so it's up to you how much you use.
- If you're going to order from the regular menu, keep portion control in mind and stay away from oversized items such as double cheeseburgers or foot long hot dogs. One of my favorite eateries offers "double" fries for a 49 cents upgrade. It may sound like a steal, but treating yourself to oversized fast food will up-size your waistline in no time.
- Believe it or not, a pizza shop can be diet-friendly. A salad bar with lots of fresh veggies is often on offer. You could also have pizza in small servings if you're smart about the toppings. Vegetarian pizza is a great choice. You can also request less cheese be used on your pizza. Try thin crust; it has less carbs and calories than thicker crusts. Better still, split a slice with a friend!
Hold the...
The fun, the friendship, the fashion: "Sex and the City 2" brings it all back and more as Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Charlotte (Kristin Davis) and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) take another bite out of The Big Apple--and beyond--carrying on with their busy lives and loves in a sequel that truly sparkles.
What happens after you say "I do?" Life is everything the ladies ever wished it to be, but it wouldn't be "Sex and the City" if life didn't hold a few more surprises...this time in the form of a glamorous, sun-drenched adventure that whisks the women away from New York to one of the most luxurious, exotic and vivid places on earth, where there's something mysterious around every corner. It's an escape that comes exactly at the right moment for the four friends, who are finding themselves in--and fighting against--the traditional roles of marriage, motherhood and more.
After all, sometimes you just have to get away with the girls.
Organizing your schedule shouldn't be a burden. With Google Calendar, it's easy to keep track of life's important events all in one place.
1. Share your schedule
Let your co-workers, family, and friends see your calendar, and view schedules that others have shared with you. When you know when everyone is free or busy, scheduling is a snap.
2. Get your calendar on the go
With two-way syncing to your mobile phone's built-in calendar or a mobile version of Google Calendar that's made for the small screen, you can access your calendar while you're away from your desk.
3. Never forget another event again
Customizable reminders help you stay on schedule. You can choose to be notified by email or get a text message sent right to your mobile phone.
4. Send invitations and track RSVPs
Invite other people to events on your calendar. Guests can RSVP to your events by email or via Google Calendar.
5. Sync with your desktop applications
Access your calendar however and whenever you want by syncing events with Microsoft Outlook, Apple iCal and Mozilla Sunbird.
6. Work offline
Know where you're supposed to be even when you don't have internet access. With offline access, you can view a read-only version of your calendar no matter where you are.
7. All this is free?
Yep.
In slightly more than a year, Google Chrome has surprised users and critics alike by leapfrogging to more than 4 percent of the browser market share. That attention and heavy usage is not undeserved. Chrome 4 is blazingly fast, more stable than previous versions, and introduces support for extensions, bookmark syncing, and some HTML5 innovations.
Based on Webkit, the same open-source engine that powers Apple Safari, Google's Android mobile platform, and several other Web-browsing tools, but with a different JavaScript engine, Chrome's interface is a drastic departure from other browsers. Instead of the traditional toolbar, Chrome puts its tabs on top. Moreover, the tabs are detachable: "tabs" and "windows" are interchangeable here. Detached tabs can be dragged and dropped into the browser, and tabs can be rearranged at any time. By isolating each tab's processes, when one site crashes, the other tabs do not.
The search box and the address bar have been fused into a hybrid "Omnibox," which includes suggestions for URLs culled from your browser's history and search suggestions from your search engine. It remembers site-specific search engine results. There's also Application Shortcuts, a feature that lets you create desktop icons for Web-only applications, such as Gmail. The stealth mode, Incognito, lets you surf without the history-recording cookies.
Despite all that's good and new in the browser from Google, it is still a work in development and users are not universally enthralled with Chrome's sheen. Complaints ranging from secure log-in issues to occasional site rendering hang-ups to support for PDFs and some media players. Problems aside, Chrome is more than a surface polish and is well worth using.
Im your secret admirer,
Your the one I desire..
From the first time we talked, my feelins for you sparked like fire
Please try to understand,
Im afraid to let my feelins show,
But I dont want to be left alone...
I just want to hold you close and never let you go..
But so far all I have are dreams of you

You're so sweet and caring..
I must be dreaming..
Im your secret admirer,
If only you knew that my love for you has been set on fire
But im trying to be careful,
I dont want to be left heartbroken..
Im just your secret admirer,
And thats all I'll ever be..
iPhone is more than just a phone. It combines three devices in one: a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device. All that and more makes it the best phone you’ll ever use.
Revolutionary Phone
With the Multi-Touch interface on iPhone, you can make a call simply by tapping a name or number in your contacts or favorites list, your call log, or just about anywhere. Visual Voicemail lets you select and listen to messages in whatever order you want — just like email.
Widescreen iPod
iPhone shows off your content — music, movies, TV shows, and more — on a beautiful 3.5-inch display. Add to your collection by downloading music and video wirelessly from the iTunes Store. Scroll through songs and playlists with the touch of a finger.
Even browse your album artwork using Cover Flow.
Breakthrough Internet Device
iPhone uses fast 3G and Wi-Fi wireless connections to deliver rich HTML email, Maps with GPS, and Safari — the most advanced web browser on a mobile device. It has Google and Yahoo! search built in. And since iPhone multitasks, you can make a phone call while emailing a photo or surfing the web over a Wi-Fi or 3G connection.
This simple freeware application works pretty well, given how basic the interface is. It has two main features: to download FLV files from YouTube, and to convert them to most major formats. If there's a YouTube URL in your clipboard, it will automatically paste it for you when you click on the dialog box. From there, just hit OK and the downloading will commence. One more left-click is all it takes to load the file in the converter, which supports iPhone, iPod, PSP, cell phone, AVI, MP3, WMV, and Xvid. Surprisingly, there's also a basic video editor for cropping videos by time stamp. You can also cut out the sound when converting.
This is one of the lightest editors around, but the simplistic interface belies its functionality and it performs exactly as advertised. We'd like to see support in future editions for hunting down missing codecs, and version 2.1.5 and earlier won't work because of embed code changes on YouTube itself. Still, the YouTube Downloader is proof that not only is video-making accessible to everyone, so is video downloading and editing.
On the whole, MY NAME IS KHAN is a fascinating love story, has an angle of religion and a world-shaking incident as a backdrop. It not only entertains, but also mesmerises, enthrals and captivates the viewer in those 2.40 hours. At the same time, a film like MY NAME IS KHAN is sure to have a far-reaching influence due to its noble theme. I strongly advocate, don't miss this one!.
My Name is Khan record breaking start at box office Humungous thats the right word to describe the initial response to MY NAME IS KHAN. The film had a deafening start at practically every centre, with practically every multiplex generating 100% collections, while single screens in mass-dominated centres opened to a 70% to 80% response, which is very, very good.
My tears are flowing for you
As my mind wonders and heart beats
My body is nothing without you
And as the wetness of my cheek are beginning to dry
And my thoughts weaken and try to forget
I feel like nothing without you
The beats within my chest were real,
Something that no one will ever steal
When there is nothing without you
But as I try to forget you more and more
My body grows weaker and begins to wear
Mind floats, rises to react
I know I'm nothing without you...
