Satu lagi pelajaran tentang harapan dan kekecewaan

tidak seperti Utara dan Selatan

Sungguh! Keduanya sangat berdekatan

Long Weekend – The Aftermath

Let’s see how my plans ended up…

- watch DVDs : The Oprah Winfrey Show, THE OC season 2 (yeah, I’m freakin’ late than anyone else.. ) and maybe some chick flicks.. or not..
I watched The Oprah Winfrey Show Disc 01 (yes only 1 disc)
But it surely did remind me how inspirational the show is…
The OC Season 2 : only 15 minutes of episode 1 (huhhuhuhu Pathetic)
No Chic Flick.

- write for blog as many as I can
Err… only this post?

- do some revisions on my sister’s project ( a card design )
Done!

- spend some quality time with my nephew and nieces (for reminding them that they have the cutest Aunty in the whole wide world hahahaha)
I played most of the time with my nieces Jemima and Sarah Laeticia..
Coz now they stay at my house
Spent only a couple of hours with Matthew & Natasya..

- catch up my readings (there are 3 books I haven’t finished yet)
And.. yap! Still 3 books! Didn’t lay my hands on them at all!

- RESTORE THE ULTIMATE LYDIA’S SONGS COLLECTION in the iPOD !

Now, my iPod, back with 5418 songs.
But I'm still continuing to create the playlists.

Happy Holidays!

Wuuuo'oooooooooooooooooww!!!


And Yes Lydia..
You may sleep now.

'Seconds' to Long Weekend

I didn't sleep last night.
Coz I had to make 3 articles for 3 ads.

..and...
something bad happened (again) last night.

Thanks to my friend’s e-Mac… It had successfully deleted over 5000songs in my iPod for the second time.

I dunno why!

Before yesterday, I wrote these>>

In the upcoming long weekend, I plan to:
- watch DVDs : The Oprah Winfrey Show, THE OC season 2 (yeah, I’m freakin’ late than anyone else.. ) and maybe some chick flicks.. or not.. (Oprah + OC = 13 dvds!)
- write for blog as many as I can
- do some revisions on my sister’s project ( a card design )
- spend some quality time with my nephew and nieces (for reminding them that they have the cutest Aunty in the whole wide world hahahaha)
- catch up my readings (there are 3 books I haven’t finished yet)


HUH!!!!

CHANGE OF PLAN!
*writing off*

In the upcoming long weekend, I plan to:
..RESTORE THE ULTIMATE LYDIA’S SONGS COLLECTION in the iPOD !

To put a little sweet smile..
Today… My devoted fan gave me some cute merchandise.
Hahahaha.. :D
I’ll post later.

haven't slept for more than 24 hours but still smiling :)

Yang lagi nyempil...

Pria itu centil
Mungkinkah sejak kecil ?

atau ini namanya disentil ?
karena kini waktunya adil ?

"Wuiiiiiihhhh...."

Motor.

Saya senang naik motor.

Apanya?

Angin-anginannya terutama.

Ketika saya dibonceng, saya pasti selalu tertawa lepas (kecuali oleh tukang ojek tentunya, karena kita ga deket-deket amat gitu lhoOooO.. :P)

Iya… tertawa lepas

Dan berteriak “Wuiiiiiihhhhhh..”

Gigi pun kering… tapi serasa giting. *sadissh*

Ketika kelas 5 SD, saya pernah dibonceng oleh seorang mahasiswa yang lumayan ganteng dari kota Jogja sampai pantai Parangtritis.. malam-malam pula!

Tunggu.. jangan berpikiran macam-macam dulu.. waktu itu saya berlibur dengan kakak-kakak saya di sebuah rumah kerabat yang juga adalah kos-kosan mahasiswa. Nampaknya naek motor ke Parangtritis malam-malam ketika bulan purnama jadi salah satu agenda pergaulan kawula muda Jogja saat itu. Hehehe…

Angin-anginan… dingin. Dingin banget.

Kisah kasih saya dan motor di waktu malam memasuki episode selanjutnya di pelosok lain Jawa Tengah. Saya dan sekolah (SMA) sedang mengikuti program LIVE IN WONOGIRI. Kita tinggal di rumah-rumah penduduk selama 4 hari. Salah satu keluarga yang ditinggali teman saya meminjamkan motor mereka. Jadi lah malam-malam kita naek motor keliling-keliling di desa sepi itu. Tetap menyenangkan. Tetap Dingin. Tetap angin-anginan. Dan tetap “Wuiiiiiiihhhhh…”

Nah, bagaimana kalau dibonceng sama Yayang (mantan yayang berarti ya.. hehe :P) ?

Dulu, saya dan si doi rumahnya berdekatan alias masih satu komplek. Kalau selesai bermain di rumahnya, kadang saya sering diantar naik motor oomnya. Wuiiihhh… angin-anginan dan tertawa lepas lagi… walau si doi agak-agak kerepotan menjaga keseimbangan karena saya sering mengangkat tinggi-tinggi kedua kaki saya ke udara. Hahahahaha… dan itu pengalaman pertama saya bersama motor matic.

Tetap angin-anginan.

Dan tetap “Wuiiiiihhhhhhhh…”

Ada lagi kenangan manis di motor matic lainnya..

Waktu itu saya diantar ke rumah teman untuk berikutnya nebeng dia menghadiri pesta pernikahan di Bandung. Berhubung sang pengantar naik motor, tidak mungkin donk saya sudah tampil cantik mode ON lengkap dengan gaun manis dan riasan a la salon? Yang ada saya muncul dengan penampilan anak motor sok asik, tshirt dan celana pendek serta helm hitam pinjaman dari si pengendara motor nan baik. ;) Sementara gaun berwarna krem saya, terpaksa harus dilipat dan dimasukkan ke dalam tas gembolan.. hahaha.. yang penting NIAT!

Dan minggu pagi itu pun..

Saya angin-anginan lagi..

Tertawa lepas lagi...

Serta “Wuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiihhhh..” lagi.

Motor bisa jadi santapan sehari-hari.. karena saya harus naek ojek untuk menuju jalan raya, atau menuju tempat janjian bertemu tebengan dari domisili saya di PonPin. Kali ini... tetap angin-anginan, tapi tidak “wuiiiihhhhh” karena saya harus memendam kesenangan saya dalam rangka jaim. Atau terpaksa dipendam sebab macet dan takut sang tebengan kelamaan menunggu.

Tapi ya tapi…

Jika saya sedang dalam posisi naik mobil , saya suka sebal sama motor-motor yang suka sok imut. Suka sembarangan mengambil jalan orang, dan merasa mobil-mobil cuma kayak pagar slalom test... huhuhuhu

Saya suka keki kalo dalam aksi nya berimut-imut ria, mereka suka menyerempet kaca spion mobil. Sudah begitu, sepertinya mereka tidak merasa bersalah atau bahkan bersikap bahwa kita yang salah.. halah halah halah....

Kalau bermacet-macetan di jalan raya pagi hari, tanggapan saya terhadap motor bukan wuihh lagi... tapi "idiiihh... " banyak amaat siiiiih motooooorr??? Memang kerasnya kota Jakarta (taelah) bikin motor jadi pilihan tepat untuk bertransportasi secara efektif dan hemat!

Ah sudahlah...

Gak usah pikirin para pengendara motor yang ulahnya kadang bikin keluar kata-kata kotor.

Pikirkan saja..

kenangan manis bersama si motor.

Angin-anginan..

Tertawa lepas

Dan “Wuiiiiiiiiiiiiihhhhhhhhhhhh......” (fade out)

:P

Blah!

Endless flu

Come-and-go headache :P

Looking forward to enjoy the long weekend
17-21 August 2006

Yippie…



Gee.. even my ‘yippie’ is slightly dull.

oh well, just add some colors then

Yippie..

C o r c o v a d o

One of my favorite bossanova song is Corcovado, written by Antônio Carlos Jobim.

He was a Brazilian composer, arranger, singer, pianist/guitarist (yes.. WOW!) and one of the major forces behind the creation of bossanova and of course its following global popularity.

The English version is titled ‘Quiet Night and Quiet Stars’, and has been sung by many artists until this day. From Astrud Gilberto, Olivia, Lisa Wahlandt to Everything but The Girl.

The lyrics are…

Quiet nights and quiet stars
Quiet chords from my guitar
Floating on the silence that surrounds us

Quiet songs and quiet dreams
Quiet walks by quiet streams
And the window that looks out on corcovado oh how lovely

This is where to be
Here with you so close to me
Till the final flicker of life's ember

I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was only a bitter tragic joke
Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love

This is where to be
Here with you so close to me
Till the final flicker of life's ember

I who was lost and lonely
Believing life was a only a tragic joke
Have found with you the meaning of existence oh, my love


What is a Corcovado anyway?
Corcovado (meaning “hunchback” in Portuguese), is a mountain in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

(….uh huh…?)

It is known worldwide for the 38-meter statue of Jesus, entitled “Christ the Redeemer”.





Ohhhhhh… Nowwww you know… :)

You see, when you know what Corcovado is

it gives a deeper meaning to the song..

Imagining You…

standing in the middle of hilarity… but It’s not yours.
The voices around you turn into perplexing silence
Your eyes stare closely to the granite mountain, the Corcovado.




It’s just you and this feeling..
When your mind tries hard to search the tranquility, but your heart beats faster and faster…


Until one second, you simply can’t breathe
because of the excitement
..also the sorrow.


You don’t know what to do
You just wait..


Waiting..
In this quiet moment

Waiting for the exact person… come to you and say….





“Hey you..”

The 20th Anniversary of THE OPRAH WINFREY SHOW

I've been itching for this dvd since ages ago

I'm an avid Oprah Winfrey Shows fan
When this dvd was pronounced in one of her show last year,
...well I just got to HAVE IT!!!

Not only it contains the biggest moments and interviews in 20 years of history-making television,
it also has never-before-seen footage, never-before-heard thoughts and personal revelations in 6 dvds!
Plus, 100% profits from the sale of this DVD collection will be donated to Oprah's Angel Network.

Yep! It's the DVD collection to die for!
*sah sadis....

Anyway, after waiting for almost 9 months.....
and failed to buy it for a few times..

I, Lydia Aprilla Tarigan

who watched the show everyday during unemployment time,
who thinks Nate Berkus* should turn straight :P,
who learned sooooo many new things from the show,
who desperately wishes to be in the show (preferably in 'Oprah's Favorite Things' hehehe),


...have finally.. got... THE dvd collection..

as a pleasant gift from someone.

:) :)

Thank You so much......




Those 6 dvds certainly can make me occupied for the next long weekend
I'll post my review after I finish watching all of it.
