Kebon Depan Mes

Tanah merah, pohon-pohon berjejer, faun-daun berserakan, udara pagi yang sejuk.
Ahhhhhhh. Pemandangan yang pasti akan aku rindukan.
Eh, tapi gak ding. Di kampung juga pasti banyak ginian ;) bahkan melimpah ruah. Hihihi.

*Abaikan jemuran*

Movie : Single

Akhirnya saya memilih film Single untuk merayakan moment tahun baru, sebelum akhirnya berkutat dengan review 2015 dan membuat planning setahun depan. Anyway, 2015 is incredible year. Naik turunnya drastis banget deh.

Oke, back to movie. Saya milih film ini karena ekpektasi saya pada penulis keren Donny Dirgantoro sang empunya 5 cm dan Raditya Dika. Tapi ekpektasi saya gak terpenuhi. Lucu sih. Tapi beberapa adegan terkesan maksa. Trus yg jadi temennya si Ebi kurang greget. Panji menurut saya ketuaan dan yg satu lagi kurang eye cathing deh apalagi pas lagi pake kolor doang, idihhhh bikin ilfeel deh.

Paling sukanya ya pas di Bali, pemandangannya keren. Overall saya kasih 3 dari 5 bintang deh.

Locked Away by R.City feat Adam Levine

If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?

If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?

Right about now...
If a judge for life me, would you stay by my side?
Or is you gonna say goodbye?

Can you tell me right now?
If I couldn't buy you the fancy things in life
Shawty, would it be alright?
Come on show me that you are down

Now tell me would you really ride for me?
Baby tell me would you die for me?
Would you spend your whole life with me?
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
Baby don't lie to me
If I didn't have anything
I wanna know would you stick around?

If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?

Let's get it diddly-dong-dong-dong-dang
All I want is somebody real who don't need much
A girl I know that I can trust
To be here when money low
If I did not have nothing else to give but love
Would that even be enough?

Girl meh need fi know

Now tell me would you really ride for me?
Baby tell me would you die for me?
Would you spend your whole life with me?
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?

Baby don't lie to me
If I didn't have anything
I wanna know would you stick around?

If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?

Tell me, tell me, would you want me?
Tell me, tell me, would you call me?
If you knew I wasn't balling
'Cause I need a girl who's always by my side
Tell me, tell me, do you need me?
Tell me, tell me, do you love me?
Or is you just tryna play me?
'Cause I need a girl to hold me down for life

If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?

If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?
Would you still love me the same?

Would you still love me the same?

Suka banget sama lagu ini. Lagu ini nyeritain tentang keraguan seorang cowok ama ceweknya, bener gak sih cewek ini mau terima sang cowok apa adanya, bukan hanya ada apanya. Tapi tentang cinta yang tulus. Cinta yang mau menyanding 

Sebuah Renungan

Saya termasuk orang yang paling susah kalo harus kehilangan sesuatu. Terbukti dari rekam jejak yang selama ini sudah saya lewasi. Saya pasti akan jungkin balik jika kehilangan sesuatu yang emang sudah saya anggap milik saya sendiri, even itu emang hak saya ataupun bukan.

Tingkat jungkir baliknya pun beragam. Tergantung seberapa besar rasa ketergantungan dan kenyamanan sesuatu itu terhadap saya. Semakin besar rasa sayang saya pada sesuatu itu maka semakin ekstrim pula rasa kehilangan yang akan saya rasakan.

Saya sering kali mengalami kegagalan dan kekecewaan namun rasanya biasa saja, standar. Saya gak pernah merasa hancur ketika mengalami kegagalan. Karena saya selalu berusaha untuk zero expect pada sesuatu yang berada di luar kendali saya. I just go to the flow ajah ;)

Kecewa, sering sih. When I try my best but nobody respect me. rasanya tuh aaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhhhh (np : Fix You by Coldplay) Sedih banget. Ketika udah pontang panting ikutan XXX, nyambi kuliah dan kerja, nyampe gaji banyak kepotong karena harus libur buat ikutan acara XXX, ikutan meeting2, ngorbanin waktu belajar buat bikin artikel, nyari materi host twitter, nyisihin duit dari gaji yang miris bgt buat bayar taxi untuk ngebawa buku-buku. I really do my best. Tapi ujung-ujungnya di bulan-bulan terakhir saya masuk daftar peserta paling gak aktif hanya karena saya introvert dan gak suka bersosialisasi. Gak adil banget. Saya nyampe mau mutusin buat resign waktu itu. I couldn't stand anymore. Bukannya gak ikhlas, bukannya pengen dihargai, pengen dapat penghargaan atau apa. Tapi bukan gitu dong caranya. But, yoweslah toh akhirnya masa-masa itu berlalu juga. Dan bisa lulus juga, meski dengan beragam catatan.

Moral storynya dont expect too much. Kerjakan semuanya dengan ikhlas. Jangan ngiri ama nikmat orang lain. Jangan terlalu merasa memiliki karena semua hanya titipan, semua milik Allah SWT. Harta, tahta, teman, keluarga semua adalah titipan. Jadi orang yang baik yang selalu baik ama orang.

Kekecewaan hadir akibat rasa syukur yang kurang. Wahai hati, ingatlah kembali. Bahwa apa yang sedang kita miliki dan jalani adalah yang terbaik. Kalau saja kita tahu bagaimana Allah berencana pada hidup kita, hati kita akan luluh demi melihat kecintaan-Nya.

Bersyukur dan bersyukur. Carpe diem. Melakukan hal yang disukai. Hal-hal ini harus tetap kulakukan. Berdoa dan terus berdoa semoga setiap detik yang kita lalui berharga, bernilai ibadah di mata-Nya.

Taken from blognya Ijaah

Cuma sebagai pengingat buat Epphy yang akhir-akhir ini kurang bersyukur dan ngeluh mulu.

Padahal mah ini hanya rangkaian hidup. Susah senang datang silih berganti. Semua adalah jalan hidup yang sudah diatur oleh Allah. Apapun yang terjadi, yang terpeting adalah respon kita dan bagaimana mindset kita. Come on Epphy you smart, you so lucky, you know the key of happiness, just be grateful and everythings gonna be oke. 

Oke.

Clear.

No ngeluh-ngeluh anymore. 

Semua yang tergenggam pada akhirnya akan terlepas, so mengapa harus sedih? Mengapa harus kecewa. It's just a matter of time. Cepat atau lambat semua sahabat, keluarga, jabatan, kekayaan akan pergi. Yang tersisa hanya amal ibadah kita. 

So, udah lega kan? Tarik nafas dalam-dalam. Lepaskan perlahan.

Life is good

Just enjoy the ride

Balik jadi Epphy yang dulu lagi, yang kuat dan selalu bersyukur.

Jadi Epphy kesayangan ibu bapak, dan kesayangan mase tersayang.

Go Epphy Go

Up! Up!

"Flashlight" by Jessie J

When tomorrow comes
I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of
The things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes

And though the road is long
I look up to the sky
And in the dark I found, lost hope that I won't fly
And I sing along, I sing along, and I sing along

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me, through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
Stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me, through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight (flashlight)
You're my flashlight (flashlight), you're my flashlight

Ooh

I see the shadows long beneath the mountain top
I'm not afraid when the rain won't stop
'Cause you light the way
You light the way,
You light the way

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me, through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
Stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me, through the night
(Light, light, light, you're my flashlight)
Light, light, you're my flashlight
Light, light, light, light, light, oh
(Light light light you're my flashlight)
You're my flash, oh

I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me, through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
Stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
(You're my flashlight)
You're getting me, getting me through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight
'Cause you're my flashlight
You're my flashlight

Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooh oh oh

You're my flashlight
Light, light
You're my flashlight
Light light ye-yeah

(Light light light
You're my flashlight
Light light)

You're my flashlight

Dedicated to all people around me and be my flashlight, thank you.

Something that I'll be missing when I leave Jakarta. A bowl of fruity soup.

Such a dream come true,
Sudah 3 tahun sejak mengkultuskan diri untuk menjadi entrepreneur, namun baru kali ini bisa bikin proposal bisnis sekaligus bikin prototype-nya.

Good job Arista

Gak penting lolos seleksi ato gak, I just do my best, and good idea will find the way.

Puassss bgt.
Alhamdulillah

Pelajaran Berharga dari BulDag

Semalam saya menonton acara di Metro TV yang dipandu oleh Fifi Aleyida Yahya. Sebenarnya saya jarang menonton tayangan ini, semata karena jam tayangnya terlaru larut malam. Namun pada kesempatan ini entah mengapa saya rela menahan kantuk karena penasaran dengan tema yang diusung.

Buldag alias bule dagang. Menyorot para bule yang karena berbagai alasan memilih untuk mengais rizki di negara Indonesia dan merintis usahanya dari nol. Mereka yang kesulitan mendapatkan izin kerja di perusahaan swasta Indonesia akhirnya memilih untuk berdagang. Ada yang berjualan caputti, es pisang ijo dan burger. Saya salut banget sama mereka. Demi mengais rizki mereka menangkis rasa malu mereka dan berjualan kecil-kecilan seperti penduduk pribumi lain.

Satu hal yang membuat saya terharu adalah kesetiaan dan rasa tanggung jawab penjual es pisang ijo dan burger pada istrinya. Dan ungkapan salah satu istrinya adalah "I believe that he can hold my hand till the end". Kata-kata ini langsung bikin saya merinding. Teringat dengan mase yang ada jauh disana. Kuharap dia memiliki semangat juang yang serupa mereka, because I believe in him too.

"Hidup adalah perjuangan tanpa henti, tapi pastikan selalu ada waktu untuk menikmati"

Ucapan happy birthday from Google. Love it love it ♥♥♥

Perjalanan

Selalu penuh ketika pulang dari sebuah perjalanan dan melibatkan buku-buku.

Ulang tahun, lagi

"A birthday is just another day where you go to work and people give you love. Age is just a state of mind, and you are as old as you think you are. You have to count your blessing and be happy." Unknown

Sudah menginjak usia 28, dan aku sudah berlapang dada untuk dikatakan sebagai seorang wanita dewasa. Siap lahir batin. Tak terasa, waktu memang begitu cepat berganti. Kita hanya cukup menjalani dan melakukan yang terbaik yang bisa kita lakukan. 

Be realistic and be wise

You are older now

Lost Star by Adam Levine

Please don't see just a boy caught up in dreams and fantasies

Please see me reaching out for someone I can't see

Take my hand let's see where we wake up tomorrow

Best laid plans sometimes are just a one night stand

I'd be damned Cupid's demanding back his arrow

So let's get drunk on our tears and

God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young

It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run

Searching for meaning

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

Who are we? Just a speck of dust within the galaxy?

Woe is me, if we're not careful turns into reality

Don't you dare let our best memories bring you sorrow

Yesterday I saw a lion kiss a deer

Turn the page maybe we'll find a brand new ending

Where we're dancing in our tears and

God, tell us the reason youth is wasted on the young

It's hunting season and the lambs are on the run

Searching for meaning

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

I thought I saw you out there crying

I thought I heard you call my name

I thought I heard you out there crying

Just the same

God, give us the reason youth is wasted on the young

It's hunting season and this lamb is on the run

Searching for meaning

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

I thought I saw you out there crying

I thought I heard you call my name

I thought I heard you out there crying

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

But are we all lost stars, trying to light up the dark?

I like this song so much, I like Adam Levine too, his voice is so nice and delicious :D
