To Whom It May Concern


Source
Let us have inscription of our name
on our rings, written in Tengwar, in elvish language of Sindarin
Let us call them "the rings who ruled them all"
And whisper to each other "my preciousss" in Gollum's voice

Laugh at me, but let us have it anyway

Greet me in foreign languages of your choice
because that sounds nice, and I will compose for you a haiku over breakfast
Watching sun rise 
illuminates the backyard-- 
toast or cereal?
Let smiles and warmth and light flood our living space
and happiness and laughter and all those warm embrace

Bear with me
and my two left feet, and my inability to cross the street
I will learn to swim too, and bike, and drive, and to accept defeat
Know that every day for me is one step further out of fear
and it would be so helpful if you are being near

Lay beside me
through all the book chapters I'm not willing to close
through all the football matches I'm not willing to miss
Gently remind me about all the dying brain cells
Also not to forget the Tahajjud prayers

Argue with me
Over movie choices, over children's name, over water and electric bills
But at the end of the day, I will remind you
You will always have me to turn to
And "I love you" are not merely pretty words
Not merely pretty words

Marry me
Let your dreams be mine
Let these dreams be yours, too
Let us share what difference we would like to see in the world
We shall leave with smile, knowing we do all we can, we do all we should...

Let us go
hand in hand
to God's heaven...

Pelajaran Berharga yang Vera Dapat Minggu ini

  1. You SHOULD reply all text message you have received immediately . Why? Because waiting is a boring thing to do in general. And sometimes it is more than just 'boring'. It's freaking annoying. Or more. If you can't, please reply whenever you have a chance. Don't forget to give some logical explanation. Preferably honest. But lying is better than not replying. Seriously. (I know I do this thing --not replying text message-- a lot, but don't worry...I've learned my lesson) 2. One with boyfriend/girlfriend should NOT flirt with another boy/girl. Really, it's just sickening to watch. 3. If you have some silly romantic-relationship problem (e.g. someone's trying to flirt with your romantic-interest and/or your romantic interest seems like scared at the idea of being near you and/or...name it yourself) go to the nearest bookstore and buy a novel you've already wanted for years . Don't even look at the price. Just buy it. It may dra...

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

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...

Tujuh Bulan Lewat : KKNM Sukatani Januari-Februari 2013

Image
Pesan sponsor : Kunjungi juga blog KKNM Desa Sukatani Januari-Februari 2013 (yang sebagian besaaaar banget diurusin oleh Andre. Terima kasih Andre :)) Akhir-akhir ini saya sering ditanya sama junior-junior saya, "Kak, kalau KKN enaknya di mana ya?" Sudah mulai ya, gegalauan pilih tempat KKN? Saya jadi ingat, tahun lalu, saya ada di posisi itu. Nggak galau sih, lebih cenderung ke nggak peduli. Teman-teman dekat saya sampai lupa kalau saya juga bakal KKN pada Januari 2013, soalnya saya nggak menunjukkan bahwa saya memikirkan itu sama sekali. Gimana ya, sebagai koor acara Training Pengembangan Diri Fapsi 2012 (asik) dan sibuk sama laporan praktikum segala macam, galau KKN nggak punya tempat di otak saya. Well, ada sih, setitik, di pojok, nyelip di bawah sofa, silakan dicari sendiri ya, makasih. Lagipula kan sudah ada teman-teman yang janjian bakal KKN bareng (Tifa dan Ufi). Jadi ya, biarkan mereka yang memilih. Saya sih ikut aja. Mau di tempat yang dekat sama kot...
