Due Date

Dear Blog

Yes, it need courage behind it. Tidak bisa kita hanya menumpahkan segala hal apabila tidak ada emosi dibaliknya, dan juga tidak berarti hanya gumpalan emosi di dalamnya. Perasaan bisa dibagi, tapi tidak bisa sekedar dimengerti.

Mulai berfikir mau menulis apa? Mungkin memang sekarang tidak ada cerita, atau memang partikel otak kita sudah mulai merana, sekarat karena terlalu diasah.

So dear blog, i'll write on you someday. Not tomorrow, not the day after tomorrow. But simply a milestone a head. Wait for me, cause there's nothing more greatfull than a very long engagement.

Sincerely
J.G. Pratama

Let Me Write
Let Me Crop The Night
Hide, Hide, Hide
The Moon still Nigh

Curiosity tangled
Capitulating at sight
Choose, choose, choose
the mother goose dies

Wake me up
wake me up
it still gives fright
to lose its right

* is this just a writer's block, or im just too lazy to knock.. knock.. knock.. (who's there)

ウサビッチ Daisuki!

Its been almost a whole year i knew this quirky silly animated character duet, and my first encounter is set when i willingly gives up my 1.30 min to be entertain in any random time. This series of animated short films was produced for MTV Japan by Kanaban Graphics since 2006.

And now, meet Putin and Kirenenko. One word to describe this under 2 minutes short ani-sode is 'ADOREBLE'! In the same vein with Mondo's Happy Tree Friends, Usavich is a more decent yet funny animation with some funny sound effect, background music, and of course, the unbearably funny gesture from it's cast. If you're wondering, why Usavich? Usavich (ウサビッチ?) is from Japanese うさぎ "usagi", rabbit, with "vich" giving it faux Russian flavor. That's why we found a lot Russian's name and also a lil bit bout their habit (like when Putin do the kazachok dance, even when he's sleeping)

Nuff said bout this silly animation that've been made into 3 seperate seasons. Just enjoy Kirenenko, Putin, Leningard, etc, and let them reminds u that even we're living in this mad-mad world, there are still another crazy-crazy creatures, like this Usavich, to entertain you.. Enjoy!

Hope, just a litte

Anoter quarrel, yet another time
Falling into you, means i must lose my sanity
All the time around, i know you've saved me before
But we're gone sour, savory to its core

Im just watching over you, through my knee
Small as it can be, yet powerfull and fragile as a china
I knowledge you gesturing misery
And hope flew, less than what it can be

A little

Hope

Jatuh

terlalu lama kita melewati waktu yang singkat ini
kau selalu menjawab apa yang tak kutanya
dan bertanya di saat ku kan menjawab
kuberkata, lihatlah kita bersamamu
kejam akan waktu yang kita siksa
terus menorehkan ini itu yang tak menentu

terlalu singkat kita mengharapkan perubahan abadi ini
ku selalu menjawab di saat kau bertanya
dan bertanya di saat kau tak mau menjawab
kau berkata, lihatlah aku bersama diriku
lemah lembut akan apa yang kita perbuat
atas coreng-moreng setiap kenangan indah yang kita toreh

terlalu muluk akan apa yang kita lihat
melanturkan jawaban yang salah kala tak mau berkata
dan menjawab hanya untuk meluka, terluka
kita berkata, kami hanya ingin didengar
gegap gempita semua kedigdayaan atas ego belaka
kita jatuh, menjauh, tak berujung

tak terluka

Family, Friends, Foe

Ramadhan is passed, the euphoria is cooling down, but somehow old habits usually struck again in just a few day. Im not saying that i love my neurotic personality, especially when my tantrums strike all of sudden, but it's just me. I paid to be sane, and i paid a lot. Let start it with a way back beyond this present time, let start from my childhood. Don't want to blame anyone else, but to be honest, my house member, especially the old figure never teach me how to act responsibly and be stable emotionally. I never really felt any nice growing time, it's just growing pains. Yes, i am vengeancefull person. It's easy to forgive, but i never forget. This is an example that a small act can occur not all of sudden. It takes time to absorb the situation, mosh it, and now you get the result. I never forget when my mom tricked me, and trick others, just for her advantages. First lesson about lying and self indulgence. It because she never want to listen to anybody. It is a never ending strains, especially when my dad is around. I know he's trying so hard as a breadwinner, but my mom always wants more. Don't get me wrong, my mom is a very heart warming and wise person, but somehow, her period and superiority always drive us crazy. She always telling us that whatever she's told to us is the right opinion, no matter what the reasons and results.

Fast forward to my high school, the hard days become alive, as told in many teen-flick or teen-lit that you ever know. I fall in love, i do my school task, but still, there's is something wrong with reward-punishment cycle that i've been through. I never really feel any reward, or regard in any kind of way. Its always this man's son, this woman's daughter, they do this, they do that, and it always makes me small, dwarfing my personality, a character killer if i might say so. And until now, i always scared to move on.

Today's event, i suddenly realize that im left behind, by some of my friends, or whom i might think as a friend before. I know, im just expecting too much from them, especially living in this hell like year. I never like 2009, i don't really want to spent my whole time stuck in this hollow, i trust those person in someway, at least some people to share, and now im grieving like all of sudden, it's my own faults that i've been left behind. And stupidly, i must accept that all around.

Family, either you're cursed to stuck with them all of your life, or vice versa, its you will power who can decide. I don't want to strangle anybody into one relationship, as a family, or a friend, or anything. I know how it feel when you're family trying so hard to control you, so i won't do the same thing. Well, you probably thinking why i'm whining now, this so called teenagers problem do affect a 24 years old guy? Mm, im admiting that im a late bloomer, who's struggling to shape his own character in this short time around, trying to be bold and honest, while the world collapsing bit by bit by it's nature.

I need this, to recollect my own strength and help others.

...

to be honest, i feel vulnarable when im around you
what is love
we're both playing
and we can't get enough of

i've bite my tounge
now i lost you
you can't get it
and im not that tough

sincerely
your's truly

Mrs. Cold
