Happy New Year !

apa yang lebih menyenangkan dibandingkan membuka tahun yang baru dengan posting quote dari salah satu penulis favorit?

well, I won't write about my 2016 resolution stuff.. I don't even know what my resolution is.. 

but as the quote says, maybe I'll read more books and write more.. termasuk mulai aktif nge-blog lagi.. 
and maybe, just maybe, I will find someone wonderful to be kissed.. 

HAPPY NEW YEAR

2016 

Disney's Quote

5 Centimeters per Second

“Hey, I heard it 5 centimeters per second. The speed at which a cherry blossom petal falls is 5 centimeters per second.”

Akari

Beberapa waktu lalu aku nemuin anime ini di internet, dan iseng nonton karena ceritanya juga cukup singkat, cuma 3 episode aja. Tapi ternyata ceritanya dalem bangeett..

Jadi secara garis besar, film ini menceritakan hubungan persahabatan antara dua orang - Tohno Takaki dan Ahinohara Akari - yang kemudian harus dipisahkan jarak karena Akari harus pindah ke kota lain, dan hubungan persahabatan itu dilanjutkan dengan saling berkirim surat.

“The last time we saw each other was at our elementary school graduation ceremony. Half a year has already passed since then. Hey, Takaki-kun, do you still remember me?”

Akari

Suatu hari Takaki pun harus pindah ke lain kota - ke tempat yang lebih jauh lagi - yang membuat Takaki memutuskan untuk menghampiri Akari, meskipun harus berkali-kali berganti kereta.

Dan mereka pun kembali berpisah dengan perasaan yang tidak mampu mereka sampaikan, hanya janji untuk tetap saling berkirim surat.

Namun jarak dan waktu semakin memisahkan dua hati, membuatnya semakin tak beriring. Dan komunikasi pun akhirnya tak lagi tercipta.

“When did I get into the habit of typing text messages without an address to send them to?”

Takaki

Beberapa tahun kemudian, Takaki pun kembali ke kota asal. Dan tanpa sengaja bersimpangan jalan dengan seseorang dari masa lalunya..

        "I strongly felt, that if I looked back now, she would look back as well.”

Takaki

Dan satu lagu di akhir episode 3 dengan suksesnya bikin aku nangis. What a tragic love, I guess, saat waktu memaksa seseorang untuk terus melangkah maju sementara masa lalu masih terus berada di sudut ingatan dan menyelinap kembali di saat-saat terlemah kita..

I’m always searching

For your figure to appear somewhere

On the opposite platform, in the windows along the lane

Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place

If my wish were to come true

I would be at your side right away

There would be nothing I couldn’t do

I would put everything on the risk and hold you tight, I'll show you

If I just wanted to distract my loneliness

Anybody would have been enough

The stars seems like it will fall in the night

Which is why I can't lie to myself

One more time

Oh seasons, don't disappear

One more time

The time when we were fooling around

I’m always searching

For your figure to appear somewhere

Even when I'm crossing a street, even in the midst of my dreams

Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place

If a miracle were to happen

I would want to show you immediately

A new morning, who I’ll be from now on

And the words I never said called: "I Love You"

The memories of summer are revolving

The throbbing which suddenly disappeared

I’m always searching

For your figure to appear somewhere

At dawn on the streets, at Sakuragi-cho

Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place

If my wish were to come true

I would be at your side right away

There would be nothing I couldn’t do

I would put everything on the risk and hold you tight, I'll show you

I’m always searching,

For the fragments of you to appear somewhere

At a traveler’s store, in the corner of newspaper

Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place

If a miracle were to happen

I would want to show you immediately

A new morning, who I’ll be from now on

And the words I never said called: “I Love You”

I always end up looking

For your smile to appear somewhere

At the railroad crossing, waiting for the express to pass

Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place

If our lives could be restarted,

No matter how many times it will be, I will go back to you

There’s nothing else that I want

Nothing else is more important than you…

[One More Time, One More Chance - translation lyrics version]

...friendship...

“Perhaps the most important thing we bring to another person is the silence in us, not the sort of silence that is filled with unspoken criticism or hard withdrawal. The sort of silence that is a place of refuge, of rest, of acceptance of someone as they are. We are all hungry for this other silence. It is hard to find. In its presence we can remember something beyond the moment, a strength on which to build a life. Silence is a place of great power and healing.” [Rachel Naomi Remen]

Second Chance - Book

These are some quotes I've got from the book:

The Hunger Games - Book

Around two months ago, first time I watched The Hunger Games movie.. awalnya karena penasaran sih, banyak orang bilang film itu keren banget.. and I was wondering, what kind of games that Hunger Games, so people very interested about that movie, that book.. and the books, it's trilogy - The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, and Mockingjay..

And after watching the movie, I found myself enchanted by that.. latar belakang cerita yang cukup dark, friendship here, killing people there, with a little star-cross-lover kind.. overall, aku suka banget sama movie-nya, story-nya mudah dimengerti even buat orang-orang yang belum baca bukunya.. kadar love story-nya pas buat bikin greget dan terharu, tanpa ngurangin kesan dark dari film itu..

And then, I started to read the book.. and it enchanted me more and more.. it's been a long time before, aku nemuin satu buah buku yang berhasil bikin aku terjaga semaleman hanya karena nggak sanggup buat nutup buku dan menunda mengetahui cerita selanjutnya seperti apa.. malam-malam panjang dimana aku bergadang, tenggelam dalam sebuah permainan named 'The Hunger Games', tenggelam dalam perjuangan Katniss Everdeen untuk tetap bertahan hidup, dan tenggelam dalam kisah cinta rumit antara Katniss dan Peeta.. although I thought the love-stories in book were a little too much.. I prefer the portion in the movie.. reading Katniss-Peeta love-stories in the book was like watching the 3rd movie of Harry Potter when too many romance acts between Ron and Hermione.. too much it almost killed the excited feeling for adventure, for sure..

But then, 5 stars (of 5) I gave to The Hunger Games book.. karena sudah berhasil membawa aku ke satu dunia baru penuh petualangan, satu dunia yang cuma bisa kita alamin dari membaca buku.. :)

And here is some quotes I've got from the book :

Quotes - Pamela Redmond Satran

a woman should have ....
enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own even if she never wants to or needs to...

a woman should have ....
something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour...

a woman should have ...
a youth she's content to leave behind....

a woman should have ....
a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to retelling it in her old age....

a woman should have .....
a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra...

a woman should have ....
one friend who always makes her laugh... and one who lets her cry...

a woman should have ....
a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family...

a woman should have ....
eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal that will make her guests feel honored...

a woman should have ....
a feeling of control over her destiny...

every woman should know...
how to fall in love without losing herself..

every woman should know...
how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without ruining the friendship...

every woman should know...
when to try harder... and when to walk away...

every woman should know...
that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents..

every woman should know...
that her childhood may not have been perfect...but it's over...

every woman should know...
what she would and wouldn't do for love or more...

every woman should know...
how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it...

every woman should know...
whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally...

every woman should know...
where to go...

be it to her best friend's kitchen table... or a charming inn in the woods...
when her soul needs soothing...

every woman should know...
what she can and can't accomplish in a day...
a month... and a year...

Quotes – Neil Gaiman

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love."

— Neil Gaiman (The Kindly Ones)

Me said :

yup.. one thing I hate when I’m falling to someone is that I can’t have any control again to myself.. and having that mood-swing is so tiring.. being happy and then disappoint and then sad just because one small little thing really mess my day, and it forces my energy to the limit level..

positive thing saat kita jatuh cinta adalah tambahan semangat.. sometimes, memiliki perasaan itu saja bisa membuat kita merasa mampu melakukan segala hal, mampu melakukan banyak hal seolah kita sama sekali tak kehilangan energi.. bahkan di akhir minggu pun kita masih bisa semangat untuk menjalani hari, tak menghiraukan panas-macet jalanan utama asal bisa bertemu sang pujaan hati.. well, those are the positive..

the negative one, I have no more words to describe it more than Mr. Gaiman.. he described it very well.. pada saat perasaan itu memasuki masa galau, it turns into hell.. no more self-control and it creates hurt in your left chest, again and again until all you wanna do is just sleep so you can runaway from that pain for a while.. and even your nightmare is far better than your real life..

but I don’t think that it’s wrong to fall in love.. but protect yourself with not falling to deep so you can keep think clearly and move on when it starts to hurt you..

Supercow

 

salah satu games keluaran Game House ini saat ini sedang jadi game favorit aku.. ga pernah bikin bosan, bahkan meskipun sudah sampai tahap akhir dan permainan sudah berakhir, aku kemudian mengulang lagi dari tahap pertama.. and then and then and then..

selalu ada kata-kata menarik yang aku temukan di game ini.. dan ingin share beberapa di antaranya – yang juga menjadi quote favorit aku.. :)

live your life so you don’t feel bad in the morning for wasting your time the day before.

live is a strange flow of circumstances. but superhero doesn’t need to go with the flow!!!

my enemies only make me stronger.. and I make them nicer.

the true understanding is that nobody understands anything. but everybody’s right in his own way.

lots of people fly in their dreams. I fly as well. I dream of a field covered with tasty clover. I fly over it and flutter. I guess I will be a butterfly in my next life.

but the main point to the adventure is the difficulties that are fun to remember later. right?

live is really strange. evil and treachery live next door to honesty and generosity, and sometimes switch places.

so what’s the most important thing in our super-business? the most important thing is keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars.

the true path of a superhero is a path of Love For All Living Creatures.
