Malingsia Nekat Lagi


Yassalaaam... How could a nation be so stupid and idiotic and moronic and, God, even my illiterate servant might be so much smarter than them. Again, Malingsia makes a case. Another claiming of Indonesia's culture as theirs. PENDET DANCE looooh... *Gilaaaa*

Nekat banget ya, bo. Dan bodoh pastinya. Tari Pendet itu tarian dari Bali. Orang-orang dari seluruh dunia sebagian besar pasti udah tau tentang Bali. Sebagian lagi malah menganggap Bali as their favorite holiday destination. Dan buat para turis yang berkunjung ke Bali, wajib aja lihat tarian Pendet tersebut. Dari jaman tahun jebot juga orang-orang dari seluruh penjuru dunia udah tau kalo Tari Pendet tuh berasal dari Bali.

Awal-awal waktu itu mereka udah niat ngembat Reog Ponorogo, trus masakan Rendang, Wayang juga, bunga Rafflesia (Bau bangke gitu aja mereka nafsu... Gubrakk!), dll dst dsb. Huh.

Mungkin pemerintah Indonesia juga yang kurang inisiatif untuk menjaga kebudayaan kita sehingga ada pihak lain yang bisa mencoba klaim budaya kita sebagai milik mereka. Tapi yaa mau bilang apa? Namanya juga Malingsia. Kalo udah maling ya maling aja deh. Kesian gak punya budaya asli milik mereka sendiri sampe harus ngembat milik negara lain. Ato mau jadi bagian dari propinsi Indonesia aja, cuy? Hihiks.

*Disclaimer: Kalimat terakhir diatas bukan provokasi atau hasutan atau himbauan atau pancingan. Murni becandaan. Jangan dituntut yaks. Peace, yo...*

Etiquette, Please

Trying to write something elaborate after being mindless for a while seems like a tough thing to do. But I guess I should try at it, if not to keep my mind working. I don't want to be a mindless drone, you see. But damn, it's hard!

Okay, whatever. Let me just write about something else then. I went to ITC for an aromatherapy reflexology. It was a treat for me after being inflicted, tortured, and enslaved for months. Ehehe... Not exactly that, but well, you'll the gist of it. But what I want to tell you is not about the treat, but it's about some people and their habit.

See, there were these 3 women wearing hijabs and veils. Considering that this joint is a relaxing place, on top of that there were signs telling the customers to keep quiet and silence their phones. Any normal person would expect silence and calmness in such place, right? And surely by mutual consent each customer and employee alike would conduct as such, riiight? But no... I understand that each person has their own intellectual level as well as etiquette. But come on, even a child would understand those symbols on the wall. And so should those 'convicted' adults. Shit! I'm still so angry and pissed at them...

These 3 ladies were very noisy and I would say rude. They chatted as if there were no tomorrow. And at the top of their lungs too. They spoke in one of middle-eastern countries' language. This has nothing to do with being racial. It's just that I often found how some persons from these secluded groups acting out of norms. Sometimes their actions cause discomfort for other people. Examples are: that incident written above, burping loudly in public, being unhygiene (for lack of a better word: Body Odor), need I say more?

If there's anyone offended by this posting content, I apologize. This does not concern you. This is purely an observation on my part. And I write this totally from experience. No offense intended. At all. But still, it would be so much nicer if the people mentioned above care more about how the people around them feel or react to their actions. There is no guilty party here. At the end of the day, it all comes down to simply being nice to other people, and conforming to social norms/etiquettes/ethics etc.

Disclaimer: I ain't a saint. In fact, I'm a sinner. So please don't hold this against me. At least, I don't disturb other people's peace. Peace, yo. :p

Mbuuulll...

Mbul, gue kangen. Beneran ya lo udah gak ada?

I can't find you anywhere, Sayang.

Gue udah gila kali, ya?

Mbul, biarpun lo gak ada disamping gue, gue masih cinta lo. Gak tau sampe kapan. Gak tau apa bakal ada yang bisa gantiin lo. Gue gak ada bayangan sama sekali untuk hidup gue selanjutnya. Just burying myself with works. Unsuccessfully trying to forget. Hidup gue kok makin aneh dan kayak gak berguna aja deh. Mbul, gue selalu berdoa untuk lo. Semoga lo tenang di alam sana ya. Gak kesepian dan tersiksa. I love you, Mbul.

Back to work. All events are done. Only one day, but I already miss those hectic moments. Hahah... Baru libur sehari udah rindu order kabeh!! Istirahatin dulu tu badan napa, cuy??

Finishing after-event reports, catching up on news via Internet, and basically just lazying around. Have nothing better to do. Too late to go to the movies, and I'm just not in the mood for it. All the chicks are busy with their works.

I'm going hooome... Ohohoho...

12 Stones - Broken

Yeah, rock on!!




Alone again again alone
Patiently waiting by the phone
Hoping that you will call me home
The pain inside my love denied
Hopes and dreams swallowed by pride
Everything I need it lies in you

‘Cause I’m broken
I know I need you now
‘Cause deep inside I'm broken
You see the way I live
I know I know your heart is broken
When I turn away
I need to be broken
Take the pain away

I question why you chose to die
When you knew your truth I would deny
You look at me
The tears begin to fall
And all in all faith is blind
But I fail time after time
Daily in my sin I take your life

All the hate deep inside
Slowly covering my eyes
All these things I hide
Away from you again
All this fear holding me
My heart is cold and I believe
Nothing’s gonna change
Until I'm broken

Iseng Deh

Whoops... So many tasks. My ears are red from the handset that was kinda sticked to them. And my throat is sore from sweet talking all the vendors, artists, etc. *Cough*...

Anyways, here's something to sooth the mood. Enjoy...
