wait, was that a pick up line?

btw, you won't believe what I'm going to tell you.

so I was on a flight to Jakarta from Singapore the other day, Visa made a commercial. I was sitting at row 32 A, obviously besides the window. besides me was this cute 3 year old American/Indonesian girl and his American dad, and when the SQ stewardess is picking up our plates, respectively, -she's been smiling to me before when she's handing out my dish- she smiled at me and start MAKING A CONVERSATION?!.. this is the transcript

hot stewardess aboard the SQ: "I think you look cute in that T-shirt, I think you should write your name and address in case of emergency"

me, who was wearing a shirt written 'if lost/drunk, please send to this address..': (smiling and feeling a bit odd) "yeah.. in case I got drunk"

the same hot stewardess: "haha, you know my friend also have the same T-shirt. Did you get it in Singapore?"

me, whom at the time feeling even more odd as the caucasian guy on the end of the row is giving us the stare: (confused a bit) "yeah, in some store"

I remember her looking a bit bashful as the caucasian guy keep giving us the stare which probably translates "not in front of the kid?!" and after giving a hint of a smile, she left with a funny expression

what a weird situation that was. I mean, I don't remember any SQ stewardess making some small talk with its passengers, and the way she said "you look cute in that T-shirt" man, was that even a pick up line?!

anyways, I feel a lot cuter afterward haha

not one night

I used to dream of only you
now I don't do that.
I used to miss talkin' to you
oh, now I don't do that.

Since you've been gone I learned to stop
tryin' to hold on because

there's not one night, one single day
that I wouldn't give to you.
So with all my might in every way,
I'll try to forget you too.

I thought you could tell me anything
yeah, you used to do that.
You let me inside of everything
yeah, you used to do that.

Never to change at least I thought
it feels so strange because

there's not one night, one single day
that I wouldn't give to you.
So with all my might in every way,
I'll try to forget you too.

Loneliness may come knockin' at my door
where I'm comin' from that don't phase me anymore.
Time has shed a little light on where I'm supposed to be
there ain't no used in thinking you'll come running back to me.

Since you've been gone I learned to stop
tryin' to hold on because

there's not one night, one single day
that I wouldn't give to you.
So with all my might in every way,
I'll try to forget you too.

betapa gue dulu sucker for Mr. Big, dan ini salah satu lagu fav gue dari album the best mereka yang keluar tahun 1996, Big Bigger Bigest. Semoga mereka mainin ni lagu ntar pas konser reuni, amiin

delicate

We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody's watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody's there
It's not that we're scared
It's just that it's delicate

So why'd you fill my sorrows
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place you've known
And why'd ya sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why'd you sing with me at all?

We might live like never before
When there's nothing to give
Well how can we ask for more
We might make love in some sacred place
The look on your face is delicate

So why'd you fill my sorrow
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place that you've known
And why'd you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why'd you sing with me at all?

And why'd you fill my sorrows
With the words you've borrowed
From the only place that you've known
Why'd you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to you
Why'd you sing with me at all?

lagunya Damien Rice.. so delicate.. bye mba Emm, I will miss you..

love lost

"did you ever regret leaving?"

he knew he did, yet he wanted to hear it from his lips

a father longing for his children's love in his old days. he's done some mistakes back in the hey day, and as time's pass, he's seeking faint forgiveness, followed by acceptance.

not so complicated

so he left, at the children's early age, and never return, realizing how lousy he was at this stuff of fatherhood, or probably fatherhood wasn't that much of a thing, he probably just looking for an escape, a new life.

and years after that, after years of flowing life, in the calm ocean that flew in one direction, he regretted it.

he probably regretted it, or probably wished that in a way love remains, that these kids will always be his kids.

and when love is lost, the general notion would build you that fortress of ego. or when you finally break it down, there's that unforgiving notion from whence it came.

to accept the fact that it's gone is to accept the loneliness it brings, the stillness of being in void. but try to get it back, to force your way in is a futile effort that will bring you much pain.

so what if you do regret it, you have no guts to say it. and what if you finally say it, nothing can change the past.

you're a stranger and that's the way it is, but it's not over yet, is it?

we'd still have to inevitably hurt you to show you that what's gone is gone, and that what's lost can not be found.




but if you had the chance to redo all the things, would you take the other way?
you might, but what become of us?

fuucked, you're fucked

you love her and you feel like running away
she holds your heart and you seem like melting away

how, this distance makes no sense

and skies wasn't that big of an escape
loneliness don't seem that liberating

how, this distance makes no sense

when smoke starts taste like meat, and it blows you a way
and tears keep drown your heart in each of its way

fucked,
you're fucked

what if God safe you a spot in his little hell?
you know He's got enough power to plunge you in

fucked
you're fucked

you're fucked

I don't mind (nothing will be born from hatred)

with their innocence, a child killed a man, I don't mind
nothing will be born from hatred

and you keep it pressured, deep in your heart, I don't mind
nothing will be born from hatred

if you see the world it shines, the stars conjuring lights
and the sun will rise in precision, so do castles in clouds
and here we lay it down
with our intense fear of lost
I don't mind
I don't mind

would you forgive what's done, would you mind, I don't mind
nothing will be born from hatred

and let the hours pass by, with tranquil and peace, I don't mind
nothing will be born

from curses, from anger, from far stretched emotion
from scolds, from fists, they destroyed

and in such pain that erupts, she burnt her children, I don't mind
nothing will be born from hatred

and so did he, left a hole in our heart, by leaving
nothing will be born from hatred

nothing will be born from hatred

nothing will be born from hatred

so close

You're in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I'm with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams must die
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I want is to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing this one's not pretend
And now you're beside me and look how far we've come
So far, we are, so close

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We're so close
To reaching that famous happy ending
Almost believing this one's not pretend
Let's go on, on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

it's a soundtrack to a dance scene done beautifully in the movie entitled Enchanted. I liked the way he started the song, but soon the acting started to breathe life into the song, making it the best part of the movie.. shit, I'm a sucker for romantic comedies.. :(
