this is one of my life time's favorite song.
Alicia Keys' If I ain't got you.

sometimes, when i hear the song, i'm blown away by the beauty of her voice, and the melody. not so much of the lyrics. but when i really hear the lyrics, gosh.. it's so beautiful, yet simple.

by the way, i do remember the lyrics in mind :)

some people live for the fortune
some people live just for the fame
some people live for the power
some people live just to play the game

some people think that the physical things define what's within
and i've been there before, and that life's a bore
so full of the superficials

some people want it all, but i don't want nothing at all
if it aint you baby, if i aint got you baby
some people what diamond rings, some just want everything
but everything means nothing, if i aint got you

some people search for a fountain
promises forever young
some people need three dozen roses
and that's the only way to prove you love them

hand me the world on a silver platter
and wondering what it means
with noone to share, noone who truly cares for me

..........

baby, when life and people trouble me, it feels so much easier with you around.
and i know how much you love the song, how much you love me singing it, and how much you love me.

a little bit of here and there

Week-end kemaren test drive Bonzo di jalanan ibukota (jadi inget lagu naif?). Tujuan: Mal Artha gading dan Carrefour Kelapa gading. Perginya lancar, lewat tol dalam kota. Pulangnya nyasar :) asalnya mau lewat tol lagi, ga nemu pintu masuk tol, malah kebawa ke jalan Soeprapto dan keluar2 di Kramat, lanjut Cikini, Kuningan, Mampang, Pasarminggu.

Minggu ini, karena suami tugas ke luar, jadi saya yg setir Bonzo. Pagi pertama masih belum pinter nyari2 celah biar nyampe kantor lebih cepet. 45 menit. Pagi kedua karena training di Cilandak, ga kena macet. Pagi ketiga, udah lebih pinter sabot kanan kiri. 35 menit. Catatan: keluar rumah jam 6 pagi, teng.

2 minggu lagi mau test drive Bonzo ke bandung aah.. sekalian ada undangan, lihat ponakan yg tambah baceo, dan selametin langsung hari jadi bapa dan mamah yang ke 32 :)

Oya, harus menggalakkan baca2 buku lagi ni. Kemarin baca artikel dari majalah gratisan gitu, dan menemukan pencerahan2, ga baru sih, tapi diingatkan lagi.

Ayooo, jangan biarkan energi negatif memakan energi positif kita! :)

Our BONZO is coming to town.

Don't ask me how i got his name, cos it's so silly ;)
Hello boy, ready to ride with us?
We will take care of you, don't worry!
You know you're special to us.
We made quite a lot saving to have you around you know? :)
If one day we forget to bath you, to take you to your salon where people make sure that you're fine, don't be mad okay?
We'll try our best to make you feel comfortable, so you'll try your best too, won't you?
Can't wait to see our first "rencontre" tomorrow.
Welcome BONZO!

A tribute to my old ABU. He's safe now with my dad in Bandung. Thanks for accompanying me for 2 years in balikpapan. It's time for you to be "home", where you came from. Be nice with my dad, will you? :)

ini bukan dalam rangka euphoria tinggal di jakarta terus kalap menikmati fasilitas yang ditawarkan kota ini ya, tapi kalo mba yang multi-talented ini dateng untuk konser, walaupun dengan harga tiket yang mahal, saya tetep mau nonton.

so, are you coming to her concert on 31 july 2008 in JCC? :)

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything's going to be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try try to divide something so real
So till the end of time I'm telling you there ain't no one

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

No one - Alicia Keys
