Akame~Reset

Jadi, ceritanya ni... Tanggal 25 Desember kemaren, tiba-tiba aja koneksi internet musuhan ma aku.  Ga cuma modem komputer, mpe hape pun ngambek ma aku.  Aku 'putus' hubungan ma dunia maya ~__~
Ga ada LiveJournal, Twitter, Facebook, dan kawan-kawan.... T__T

Bosen...! Akhirnya malah nguplek-nguplek foto idolaku...Yak! sapa lagi kalo bukan Akanishi Jin ma Kamenashi Kazuya... ^______________^
Dan lagi-lagi... ide ini sebenarnya muncul ketika aku dengerin lagunya Jin "Reset".  Sumpah! Ni lagu bagus banget...! Suka banget ma lagu-lagunya Jin!!! *ga sabar nunggu album dia keluar... XDD*

Dan akhirnya, ku kompilasi foto-foto mereka ketika masih chibi!days... ^___^
Kangen berat ma mereka.  Dulu waktu chibi mereka deket banget...Kenapa ya makin gede malah jauh2an gitu...
Sebenarnya si, terlepas benar tidaknya rumor mengenai hubungan mereka, aku cuma pengen liat mereka have fun bareng... Sayang banget kalo sahabatan uda lama, tiba-tiba jadi jauh gini... Ya, nggak?

Well... Ini aku bikin hanya dalam waktu sehari, n dengan banyaknya gangguan dari 'the kissing monster' ,alias sepupuku... jadinya, mungkin ga terlalu maksimal c... Enjoy! ^_____^


Of Memories and Black&White Photography...

Aku baru aja balik dari rumah kakek (alm)-nenek (almh) tercinta di Semarang... Dapet libur lumayan lama, coz Natal n cuti bersama universitas, jadilah aku 'kabur' ke Semarang langsung dari laboratorium..XDD

Perjalanan naek travel, dan langsung 'tewas' begitu menyentuh kursi...*toh, karena bawaanku yang lumayan berat n banyak bikin aku ga bisa gerak*, menghabiskan waktu 5 jam!!
Usut punya usut, ternyata hujan bikin lahar dingin Merapi kembali menerjang Kali Putih sehingga jalur Jogja-Magelang rada tersendat... Itu aja masih mending 5 jam, telat dikit aja, udah de... ga bisa lewat! Itupun bisa lewat melalui jalan yang ga ngerti asal-usulnya, begitu terbangun dari tidurku *yang kurang nyenyak*, yang aku liat hanyalah gelapnya jalanan, ga ada lampu, n sawah dimana-mana....

Hmm... ko malah ngelantur...
Kembali ke topik utama... Kendalisodo.  Itulah nama daerah rumah kakek-nenek... Bukan Kendalisodo, yang terletak di luar Semarang n dekat dengan pabrik minuman bersoda yang terkenal itu.  Tapi, Kendalisodo, yang dekat dengan Akademi Kepolisian Semarang.
Banyak memori yang aku dapatkan di rumah ini.  Jujur, aga menghindari rumah ini semenjak meninggalnya Kakek-Nenek, tapi tetep aja, kalo lagi suntuk abis ma Jogja dan antek2nya *alias kerjaan, kampus, jalanan Jogja yang super macet kalo liburan*, Kendalisodo... itulah tempat pelarianku...^___^

Dari sekian banyak foto yang aku ambil, aku ga pernah foto rumah Kendalisodo... Dan bikin aku sedikit menyesal juga, kenapa ga dari dulu punya kamera n tripod, sehingga aku bisa mengabadikan hari-hari terakhir Kakek dan Nenek bersamaku... *sob*sniff*hiks*

Anyway... karena aku juga lagi belajar fotografi black n white, so foto-foto yang aku post disini B/W semua... nanti, selebihnya akan masuk ke post lain ^___^


Apabila rumah ini dapat bercerita... berpuluh-puluh tahun cerita keluarga tak akan habis diceritakan...
dan di tempat ini pula, aku menghabiskan masa liburan... mulai ketika aku masih kecil, hingga sekarang...^__^
Foto-foto berikutnya adalah taman kecil dekat rumah Kakek-Nenek, tempat aku bermain dengan sepupuku ketika aku masih kecil...
Dulu... pohonnya tidak serimbun dan setinggi sekarang ^__^

Adjust the Love by Akanishi Jin

Di tengah2 badai flu dan ancaman banjir yang terus menerus menghantui (...gubrakk!)
akhirnya...
selesai juga...!!!

Aku sedang suka banget ma lagu "Adjust the Love" by Akanishi Jin...
Hmm... kayanya tambah nge-fans ma satu orang ini... Genre lagunya luas banget! Setelah puas ngebahas tentang "eternal", sekarang giliran "Adjust the Love".  Lagu ini, hmm, pertama kali denger, ga nyangka aja kalo yang bikin Akanishi Jin.  Beda banget ma lagu-lagu sebelumnya *sebenarnya ni lagu udah lama, tapi aku aja yg baru denger hehehe...*.  Biasanya lagunya lagu party, yang asik buat ajojing atau kalo ga ballad abiss kaya "eternal" gitu.  Tapiii... di lagu ini, 'beda'!  Apalagi setelah baca lirik lagunya *Yah, karena Jin bukan orang Inggris asli, ku maklum de ma bahasa Inggrisnya XD..Beware of the Jingrish (Jin's English-red) XDD*.

Setelah bolak balik denger 'n baca lirik lagunya, tiba-tiba gatel pengen  bikin music video nya.  Hmm... karena aku juga suka banget yang namanya fotografi, hasilnya kutetapkan tema untuk lagu ini adalah humanity and pluralism.  Aku belum ahli banget sama fotografi *apalagi fotografi B/W, hedeww, tekniknya lebih ni, ilmuku belum mumpuni..^_^*, jadi hampir seluruh gambar di music video ini aku browse dari Mbah Google! *dengan credit tentu saja*

Coz it's humanity, aku pikir yang cocok adalah foto-foto B/W dari anak-anak, homeless issue,etc dan beberapa kuselipin foto Jin disana ^_~
Seperti biasanya, aku ga ada plot, bahkan untuk efek aja cuma fade in dan fade out aja... *aku males banget, lagu ini susah banget nge-pas in timingnya.. ~__~*
Anyway, enough talking... 
Ladies and gentlemen... please, welcome... "Adjust the Love" by Akanishi Jin


PS: bagi yang merasa keberatan fotonya ku 'catut' di music video ini... Aku minta maaf... Dan kasi tau aku, oke... nanti ku ganti...^__^

The lyrics...
 Adjust the Love

Free this blood Halleluyah
From now on oh hey yo
Read this book and learn your self
From now on We are losing track of actual love
Freedom... Run to the streets and scream...Freedom!
We love We are losing track of actual love
And need to learn how to adjust love

It's a fair well it's a goodbye 
a time to laugh a time to love a time for us to cry

We be lying We crying We be standing by
People never wanna lend a hand I'll tell you why
People can't get the things they need to be
People just break your heart and then they leave
Deceiving beings surrounding me but they won't take me down cuz this spirit is free
You know that when you left me there was nothing for you but there was hellafor me
People lying People crying People dying everyday
Can we figure out what the problem is with us
We move to the streets scream charity no one feeling like pushing for equality
And I see that the problems would be
But the pain came and the pain took me back to a place
That I never want to never want to see
Never want to remember the times just blinding me
So much we can strive for humanity needs to take a step forward and make a noise
And were poised to make a change to the universe
moving for a change in the way we see this world
Before we die let's try to make a change in the way people strive to survive
Keep the love alive till the day that we die
Killing all the reason that we got just to cry

The tears that we had to give at the time
Minds on the grind forget about the crimes
For me I'm through good bye
Farewell to them I'm a always stay true
Time to laugh and time to cry
So hear this song and yall write your wrongs
We can all rise above
I am telling you now adjust your love

Freedom...Run to the streets and scream..Freedom!
We love We are losing track of actual love
And need to learn how to adjust love

It's a fair well it's a goodbye 
a time to laugh a time to love a time for us to cry

We be lying we be crying we be standing by
All I want to know is why I don't hear people say I love you
Tell me that I love you all I want you to say is that I love you
I stand alone in the zone is where you took never thought it'd take me
But I know it's true cuz I look to you
I pray for freedom freedom saved me
Before I'd be a slave you could lay me in
my grave go up to my Lord yes I'm a be free
Chilling with our wings for all see
Head down yonder on that grave yard walk
Wit the free on blast with him I'll talk
No he can't be mocked
So is it true that you reap what you sow
I hope you know that sin you sow
Destruction you'll be growing
Even thought I know you couldn't fill my shoes
You could fill my grave it ain't not being used
Light in hailing beck a huffing on life (abuse)
Tolerance for blessing thank God every night (Stay true)
Learned at a young age by the book on shelf
The book we read the truth that we took
Left me standing staying shook I look to you my soul you took

Moving to the streets Got revolution on my mind
In time the freedom gonna be fine
Don't hide my light you watch me shine
Revelation change its time We been dying it's a sign
We by hungry yes indeed
So bring the rain Tonight we feed
We got nothing left to say
We got nothing left to see
We been hungry every night
Give me everything we need
Tonight the night we take the lead

We break the mold we change the breed
Eternal life Eternally never die I'm always free

Freedom...Run to the streets and scream..Freedom!
We love We are losing track of actual love
And need to learn how to adjust love

It's a fair well it's a goodbye 
a time to laugh a time to love a time for us to cry

Adjust the Love...

Today was a Fairytale by Taylor Swift

Today was a Fairytale... 

Today was a fairytale, you were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand, and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale, today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale, I wore a dress
You wore a dark gray t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Today was a fairytale

Time slows down whenever you're around
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale
You've got a smile that takes me to another planet
Every move you make, everything you say is right
Today was a fairytale

Today was a fairytale
All that I can say is now it's getting so much clearer
Nothing made sense until the time I saw your face
Today was a fairytale

Time slows down whenever you're around
Yeah yeah

But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale

Time slows down whenever you're around
I can feel my heart, it's beating in my chest
Did you feel it?
I can't put this down

But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way

But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there

It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale


Dengerin lagu ini berasa mellow... 
Mungkin ga seharusnya, karena sebenarnya ini lagu romantis... tapi bagi diriku, lagu ini membuatku mellow...

"Apakah memang cinta adalah sebuah dongeng...
yang terlalu indah untuk menjadi sebuah kenyataan..?"
