Past Midnight Rant

I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly
Here in this moment I'm half way out the door
Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing

There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Tripping out thinking there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more
Than wanting more
(There's Gotta Be) More To Life - Stacie Orrico

Guten Abend! (Oder soll ich sage "Guten Morgen"?)

Saya harusnya tidur di tempat tidur (iya, masak di keset -_-) tapi pada kenyataannya, saya masih mojok di sofa dengan Moneymaker di pangkuan. Baru ngeberesin tinjauan teori tugas konstruksi tes (nggak tau bener atau nggak, saya mengerjakannya di bawah pengaruh kafein dosis tinggi). Seabrek lagi tugas menumpuk, but I just can't find the spirit within me to finish them all.

I just can't find that spirit to enjoy my day. Beuh, apa lagi menikmati tugas dan ujian (oh ya, besok UTS perdana semester ini dan saya baru rencana belajar pada H-5...jam). Secara bombastis dan rada lebay, saya nulis itu di status, kayak remaja labil yang ketagihan self disclosure di jejaring sosial : not in the mood to live. Syukur nggak ada yang nelpon saya dan ngelarang saya bunuh diri. Because, well, I'm not commiting suicide anytime soon, okay? Nggak pengen dapet golden ticket straight to the hell, thank you. I'm just....not in the mood to live.

Kenapa? Well, itu pertanyaan yang sulit dijawab. Pokoknya saya lagi malas. Butuh menyepi, kabur bentar, preferably to Germany, thank you very much.

Ada masalah apa gitu ya Ver? Well, just...usual things. Saya tahu pasti apa penyebab saya ngerasa malas segala macam, tapi kok efeknya lebih besar daripada yang saya bayangkan ya, kayak pake kaca pembesar.

Saya nggak inget apakah saya pernah semandek ini atau nggak. Inspirasi kering kerontang, proyek nulis nggak tersentuh selama dua bulan. Nulis puisi gombal yang biasanya cetek aja bikin harus meras otak. Tugas-tugas pada mepet deadline semua. Saya tidur hampir pada setiap kesempatan saya dibiarkan tidak bergerak selama sepuluh menit. Kayaknya saya selalu pasang ekspresi muka yang salah di depan teman-teman, and while they think of it as a funny thing, I'm starting to doubt my social skill. 

Ah...jangan sampai semester ganjil ini jadi ajang menurunkan IPK kayak semester ganjil sebelumnya. Jangan sampai prokrastinasi parah ini bikin hidup aku tertunda. There's gotta be more to life! Masih banyak langit yang harus digapai, masih banyak tangga yang harus dipijak, masih banyak orang-orang manis yang perlu dimuliakan, masih banyak orang-orang nyebelin yang harus dibejek-bejek, hahaha.

Saya tahu itu semua tapi...heh semangat hidup, di mana sih kamu? Geura balik!
I definitely have to do something with my life. Masak calon psikolog pathetic gini sih heh... -_-

Eling, Vera! Toh kan kamu tahu apa yang kurang dari hidup kamu : kurang dekat sama Yang Maha Pencipta...

T.T

Ya Allah, dekap aku dalam lelahku...

Well it's life, but I'm sure... there's gotta be more
Than wanting more

    Your writing "Masak calon psikolog pathetic gini sih" is just funny.

    Let's grab the positive side, that as a psychology will be, you can learn how to manage people's feeling by your own experience...

Der Erlkoenig (The Elf King), A Poem By Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Image
One of my favourite Goethe Poem. The bleak ambience and the story makes me weep. If you don't understand German, no problem, there's an English translation down there. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :) Illustration of Der Erlkoenig by Frank Kirchbach Der Erlkönig Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind? Es ist der Vater mit seinem Kind; Er hat den Knaben wohl in dem Arm, Er faßt ihn sicher, er hält ihn warm.   "Mein Sohn, was birgst du so bang dein Gesicht?" "Siehst, Vater, du den Erlkönig nicht? Den Erlenkönig mit Kron und Schweif?" "Mein Sohn, es ist ein Nebelstreif."   "Du liebes Kind, komm, geh mit mir! Gar schöne Spiele spiel' ich mit dir; Manch' bunte Blumen sind an dem Strand , Meine Mutter hat manch gülden Gewand."   "Mein Vater, mein Vater, und hörest du nicht, Was Erlenkönig mir leise verspricht?" "Sei ruhig, bleibe ruhig, mein Kind; In dürren Blättern säuselt der Wind.&qu

Sentimental Hours

'Twas a car ride at night and old tunes from a band.  Looking out, raindrops raced on the window glass. Houses passed, red bricks and orange lights. Messages sent to radios, probably were never heard. And I dreamt of becoming, but never being. 'Twas a lazy afternoon and indescribable longing. A poem hastily scribed, of a girl  peeking from behind the curtain.  There you were, a boy of pale face, of mismatched socks, of silly attire. For a while you lived there, a fixture of short future. And I dreamt of becoming, but never being. You are a thousand things that were and never were :  The smell of bookstores, Murakami on the shelves, Spanish Romance from a music box, withered messages in a bottle, a smiling face on the screen, unfinished poetry written on tattered pages. Still I only dreamt of becoming, and never being. Bandung, 15 April 2020 Vera F. Maharani

Aishiteru - Kizuna (a.k.a. The Movie That Made Me Feel Like A Stone-Hearted Cyborg)

Image
Aishiteru~ Kizuna (I Love You~ Bonds) DVD Cover It's been a while since the last time I posted my Monday with Masaki reviews. I kind of miss fangirling in public writing about it, and I still have some unwatched Okada Masaki's movies lying around, so here it is! This is actually a TV special, continuation from the drama Aishiteru~ Kaiyo (2009) . I haven’t watched the drama, so I was a bit worried that I could not follow the storyline easily. Turned out that it can be enjoyed on its own. All the needed background information from the original drama was summarized briefly at the beginning by Sano Shiro , who played the father of a murdered child in the original drama. Er…a murdered child, you say? Yes, you read that right. Aishiteru~ Kaiyo was about a 5th grader who killed a 2nd grader, and how their families were shattered after the event. It seems like a very emotional drama, and according to Sano Shiro, it made the casts contemplated a lot about th
