cari teman

Carilah teman yang membuat lo seperti punya pacar.
Ketika lo sakit, ada yang jagain. Ketika dia sakit lo juga selalu pengen membantu.
Ketika lo ada masalah dan sebaliknya, dia tahu kapan harus bicara dan kapan harus diam.
Ketika lo bahagia dan sebaliknya, ga saling iri hati.
Ketika lo mencapai kesuksesan dan sebaliknya, saling membantu untuk mempertahankan kesuksesan dan tetap rendah hati.
Ketika lo salah dia selalu mengingatkan, begitu pula sebaliknya.

Dan yang paling penting adalah
Ketika lo benar tapi seluruh dunia mengabaikan pembelaan lo, dia akan tetap percaya.
Tonggak hubungan adalah kepercayaan kan?
Dan gue percaya semua orang punya kesempatan untuk menjadi lebih baik :)

Nelangsa Riang - Banda Neira

Bandung, Vanilla Kitchen & Wine
Sabtu 14 September 2013

Akhirnya nonton Banda Neira live setelah selama ini cuma ketemu Nanda nya itupun sekali karena pesen CD dan sekali karena kebetulan (dih random banget ya hidup gue haha). Ya meskipun gue cuma sama adek dan besokannya gue kudu pulang ke Jakarta juga. Tapi tempatnya asik dan band lain yang perform juga kece. Jadi makin senang :'


Gue pengen ngasih quote, entah ini orisinil gue atau sudah pernah dikatakan orang lain. Pokoknya pengen bilang aja,

"People love you not because of your style, but your attitude."


Yep! People love them because of this.
Dulu gue tau lagu mereka dari sahabat gue, Rachel. Dan ternyata mereka humble banget sampe Nanda-nya mau nganter sendiri cd nya ke yang pesen. Kebetulan gue termasuk, alhamdulillah :'
Gue mencintai Banda Neira justru setelah ngomong dengan mereka. They really have that 'star attitude'. Ga sok ngartis. Semoga begini terus yan sampe seterusnya.

Jadi duo nelangsa riang ini bawain banyak lagu sih sebenernya, gue lupa ada yang keskip apa nggak. Yang jelas bawain Kapal Kertas, Di Beranda, Rindu, Kau keluhkan, Berjalan Lebih Jauh, dan ada lagu baru mereka yang pertama kali mereka bawain. Senang :'
Di Beranda sih berasa banget secara orang tua gue di Manado, dan gue kuliah di Jakarta selama 4 tahun dan sekarang lulus juga layaknya menetap di Depok sama ade.

Dan satu lagi, tadi gue baru sadar pas mereka nyanyi lagu Rindu semua orang ikutan nyanyi. Lagu 'Rindu' itu liriknya diambil dari puisi seorang sastrawan lama, panutan di Indonesia, Soebagjo Sastrowardojo. Makasih Kak Rara rekomemdasinya dulu jadi nyari-nyari puisinya :'
Dalam hal ini gue terharu, makasih banyak Banda Neira sudah memperkenalkan puisi indah sang maestro Soebagjo Sastrowardojo ke khalayak ramai terutama pendengar kalian. Bahkan, membuat puisi itu bergaung terus selama kalian menyanyikannya. Juga bergaung di telinga. Semoga musikalisasi puisi para maestro selalu ada minimal satuuu aja di tiap album kalian. Makasih penghargaannya terhadap sastra kita (meskipun gue anak arsitek dan bukan sastra, tapi gue cinta sastra). Makasih banyak loh Banda Neira! Dan mereka keren banget malam ini..karena kesederhanaan mereka :3

Nb : Oh ya sedih nih "Mawar" ga dinyanyiin padahal suka banget banget :''''

handicarchitecture.

Ever design a space for pedestrians? Or any other furniscape that refers to human's need? Do every human have the same ability with us? Sadly, no.

We know there's some groups of people that called handicapped people. They are the same with us, but they need more help because their disabilities. And as an architect or urban designer, or any designer, should never forget about their special needs.

"Despite some good legislation over the past four decades, disabled people are still not very visible in public life, and only 50% of disabled people of working age and who are willing to work, are in employment." - BBC News by Damon Rose, December 13, 2012

Now, can we think about us? The normals and the handicapped live together in a human-friendly space and there's no social boundaries between them.

"Like somehow you just don't belong and no one understand you." - Welcome to my Life by Simple Plan

This is not an idea or a proposal but this is a social protest, begging for architects, designers, and planners to build afriendly environment, for everyone.

Now. We. Should. Really. Start. To. THINK

Gonna Get Over You - Sara Bareilles

And I'm not the girl that i intend to be. I dare you darling just wait and see. But this time not for you but just for me

And I say,

Oh, how'm I gonna get over over you? I'll be alright, just not tonight. Someday, oh I wish you'd want me to stay. I'll be alright. Just not tonight. SOMEDAY.

penyihir

tidak takutkah kamu akan penyihir di dalam buku?

bukan, bukan yang itu.

bukan penyihir berdagu panjang dan berjubah gelap

dia penyihir yang diam namun banyak membuka fakta

bisa membuatmu baik, bisa membuatmu jahat,

bisa membuatmu kreatif

dan bisa mendorongmu kemapaun

kamu bisa membakarnya

tetapi sekali tersentuh rasa

dia tidak bisa lenyap dari pikiran

berhati-hatilah, dia penyihir yang kuat

namanya,

...

Frau (Leilani Hermiasih)

Namanya Leilani Hermiasih atau ngetop dengan nama Frau. Musiknya cerdas dan kreatif, dan selalu bertema. Jelas dia tahu tema apa yang paling pas dengan suaranya dan membawa suasana ke dalam dunianya :)

Her first album, Starlit Carousel, 2008

This album sounds a lot like mysterious melodies in the unused theme park, if you ever watch Zombieland or Dead Silence, this is the music they should add to their motion picture.

Her recent album, Happy Coda 

Still a little theatrical and imaginary, but in a happier atmosphere. Like dancing with disney princesses in a bright park full of flowers.
