parents - children

parents could be one of the hardest job ever.

they teach us, they take care about us since we were infant till now we've grown up as an adult. thanks a bunch to our parents for that.but, it doesn't mean they can be selfish to their children. to use one's mind in the pursuit of ones ego that's selfish. and um...parents sometimes do that. they blame their children because they think the children don't give any respect to them, they think their children naughty, and many reasons. but could the parents wait for a moment  before they're blaming and getting angry to their children?

wait and think.. "why does my child do that bad thing?" - "where do those rude words come from?" - "why my son won't listening to me?" and other questions. what's the answer from all of those questions? is the answer referring to themselves as parents?  if yes, please...more wisely handle your emotions.

once again, many thanks for taking care of us since we were little child. maybe we will never be enough to give back all of your kindness..your sincerity.. but please, try to look from another sight, try to stand in our shoes..so you can get the whole picture. don't get angry easily without trying to understand..

 we-kids, of course, LOVE you always dear parents. and we need your love.

goodbye Oprah Winfrey (show)

akhirnya, salah satu acara favorit saya sepanjang masa berakhir sudah :(((

hebat banget wanita yang satu ini, kayaknya sih bukan saya aja yang menilai kalo sosok Oprah Winfrey adalah salah satu contoh wanita hebat. dibesarkan dengan masa kecil yang sulit, karena pernah menjadi korban sexual abuse, tapi dia bisa menjadikan itu sebuah kekuatan untuk maju. akhirnya bisa menjelma menjadi super woman yang punya pengaruh di negara sebesar Amerika, bahkan gak cuma di Amerika, tapi dunia!

Oprah Winfrey Show adalah salah satu acara yang sangat menginspirasi sangat amat banyak manusia. gak cuma sisi kreatif acaranya yang mengagumkan tapi Oprah sebagai sosok utama di sini juga sangat sangat pintar. 25 tahun, wow...bayangkan sebuah acara bisa berlangsung selama 25 tahun tanpa pernah surut penontonnya! dunia butuh acara-acara seperti ini dan sosok seperti Oprah. Oprah Winfrey Show ini mungkin bisa dibilang menjadikan dunia ini menjadi lebih baik, I do believe that.

We are the world, we are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
it's true we'll make a better day.. 

-We Are The World-

semoga aja setelah ini bermunculan Oprah-Oprah yang baru yang  juga bisa memberikan dan menginspirasi banyak hal baik kepada dunia. thanks to Oprah Winfrey, for being who you are.

Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough -Oprah Winfrey 

king of anything

yeah, from the title I know you guys could guess what this post is all about.. from the two previous posts, I wrote about Sara Bareilles concert..and I said that I love her much more, right?!
and recently, after the concert was over, everyday I always listening to her songs.. King of Anything is one of my fav, the song is about telling someone to mind their own f**king bussiness..

Keep drinking coffee, stare me down across the table
While I look outside
So many things I'd say if only I were able
But I just keep quiet and count the cars that pass by

You've got opinions, man
We're all entitled to 'em
But I never asked

So let me thank you for your time
And try not to waste any more of mine
Get out of here fast

I hate to break it to you babe
But I'm not drowning
There's no one here to save

Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So, you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?

You sound so innocent
All full of good intent
Swear you know best

But you expect me to
Jump up onboard with you
Ride off into your delusional sunset

I'm not the one who's lost
With no direction, oh
But you'll never see

You're so busy making masks
With my name on it in all caps
You've got the talking down
Just not the listening

Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?

All my life I've tried
To make everybody happy while I just hurt and hide
Waiting for someone to tell me it's my turn
To decide

Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?

Who cares if you disagree? You are not me
Who made you king of anything?
So you dare tell me who to be
Who died and made you king of anything?

Let me hold your crown, babe

harpitnas

harikejepitnasional - mungkin istilah itu cuma ada di Indonesia ya.. (benar gak sih?)

jadi ceritanya, sy yang berdedikasi tinggi ini sama kantor (haks!), memutuskan untuk masuk kantor hari ini. gak terpengaruh sama yang namanya harpitnas.. salut kan kalian sama sy?hehe. gak se-berdedikasi itu kok, karena memang ada kerjaan yang pengen diberesin hari ini. buat saya kerjaan belum selesai sama kayak mau duduk santai tapi gak ada senderan, ganggu! jadi masuklah saya hari ini..

kesiangan, bangun jam 8.30!! tapi tetap itu gak mengendurkan semangat saya buat masuk kantor, malah gak kerasa malas sama sekali. wong buru-buru, jadi mati rasa malasnya. tahu-tahu udah duduk manis di taxi dan menuju kantor. di tengah perjalanan ke kantor, dapat sms dari bos II kalo beliau cuti. lumayan mengurangi ketegangan saya karena terlambat. begitu sampai kantor, langsung revisi kerjaan..biar bisa dilihat sama bos I dan semoga diberikan approval untuk dipresentasikan.

eh ternyata bos I pun harus keluar kantor di pagi ini. jadi kayak sia-sia usaha saya pagi ini masuk kantor dan cepat-cepat beresin kerjaan. hmm tapi the gud news is there's no meeting for today. yipiiyeeyy..!! katanya bos I akan lihat revisi saya nanti by e-mail. semoga dya tidak dusta ya, jadi sy tahu mana yang masih kurang dan bisa segera sy selesaikan.

kesimpulannya hari ini kami yang di kantor bersenang-senang dan bersantai ria sambil menunggu datangnya jam pulang tiba.

best - good friends, really?

beberapa macam teman yang saya pengen tulis saat ini.

tipe A

mereka yang datang karena hura-hura, pas kita sedang sedih ya gak ada. tapi pas kita ulang tahun, pas kita mau senang-senang, pas kita sukses, pas kita jadi 'seseorang', pas kita dapat tiket gratis untuk konser keren mereka datang.

tipe B

mereka yang ngakunya teman baik, bahkan sahabat tapi nongol waktu butuh. kalo gak ngaku-ngaku dekat, tapi datang pas butuh ya masih dimaklumi..namanya juga gak terlalu cocok untuk jadi teman dekat. nah ini, ngaku teman dekat..sering curhat ke kita tapi datangnya waktu butuh aja. ya tadi itu, curhat adalah salah satu bentuk kebutuhannya. saat kita lagi butuh dya gak ada. bahkan untuk menyapa juga, just say Hi and How are you pun gak. tapi waktu dya lagi ada masalah, jangan ditanya..kalimat curhatan bisa keluar panjang kali lebar kali tinggi dari mulutnya. setelah masalahnya redup atau selesai, hilanglah lagi dya. besok-besok datang lagi kalo butuh bantuan. fak lah.

tipe C

mereka yang ngakunya teman baik tapi selalu membatasi diri. membatasi diri di sini, tertutup..bahkan untuk hal-hal sepele. well, mungkin itu masalah dengan dirinya sendiri sehingga dya menjadi pribadi yang seperti itu. cuma kalo gitu, jangan ngaku-ngaku teman baik/sahabat. best friend shares everything... walaupun memang masih ada batasan-batasan pribadi yang mungkin masih harus dijaga. cuma malas aja kalo rasanya apa-apa ditutup-tutupi, apa-apa dijaga supaya tidak tampak di depan kita..so what the friendship is for?

3 tipe itu yang lagi pengen saya bagi di sini. soalnya saya lagi gak habis pikir dan lagi kehabisan stok simpati dan empati sama 3 tipe tadi. mungkin besok-besok baru re-stock :D tapi tipe teman yang mengaku-ngaku teman baik/sahabat padahal kenyataannya berbeda ya gak cuma 3 itu pastinya. di luar sana pasti masih banyak.

hari gini, yang namanya sahabat sejati itu, masihkah ada? di mana sih? kasih tau saya dong! :)

good nite earth.
