Under Your Blanket

Under your blanket, is where I belong
It’s a world I’ve never known existed
In which, strangely, I know; I am home

There, I found joy, laughter, and promises
Childhood memories and unfinished dreams
Altogether, under your blanket

Under your blanket, is our hiding place
Holding hands, telling stories
Laughing and playing like kids
Until your lips landed a kiss upon mine

Suddenly we realized; we're not kids anymore.


~ a quick kiss on your cheek, Batman!  ;)

Short Story: Future Girl

“Hello, Future Girl!” her cheeks immediately blushed as he said that to her.
It was the night they had finally met at a bridge under the moonlight of an evening in November.
The wind rustled the trees and caught her glimmering hair dancing, as if a music was playing.

“Why do you call me that?” anxiously she would spill that question, but she did not.
She wouldn’t dare to ask him such, nor to reason the way he said it.

All she did, was secretly praying; she will be his future.

-----------

The breezy wind was still playing with her hair, as he held her hands and led her to dance.


~ will you be mine, Batman? :))

Perjalanan

Seorang Kelana menghampiriku dan bertanya; 
“di manakah aku berada saat ini?”

Jawabku; “engkau berada di ujung persimpangan; satu ke ‘tidak tahu’, satu ke ‘tidak mengerti’.”

“Beri tahu padaku di mana Kebahagiaan? Bertahun-tahun aku mencarinya, tak kutemukan.” Ia meraih tanganku, menatap penuh harap.

“Berjalanlah denganku, dan Kebahagiaan akan datang menghampiri.” Aku tersenyum, menggenggam erat jemarinya.

Perjalanan kami masih sangat panjang.  


~ Not all who wander are lost.

Brush and Pen

Never put down your brush 
For it is your hand to my heart 
A touch of your wondrous soul to mine

Never put down your brush 
As I won’t put down my pen 
In defining the sweetness of our reminiscence

I’ll write, I’ll write, until it’s clear and bright 
You’ll paint, you’ll paint, take away all of the pain

We are two lost souls who found each other again 
In a solitary world of art, and hopes, and promises


~ dedicated to the object of my affection. you. cheers!

Cornelia Michele & Cynthia Rachel - Duet on Fallin' For You



Fallin' For You


I don't know but
I think I maybe Fallin' for you Dropping so quickly
Maybe I should
Keep this to myself
Waiting 'til I
Know you better

I am trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling

But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know where to I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
And now I found ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you


As I'm standing here
And you hold my hand
Pull me towards you
And we start to dance
All around us
I see nobody
Here in silence
It's just you and me

I'm trying
Not to tell you
But I want to
I'm scared of what you'll say
So I'm hiding what I'm feeling
But I'm tired of
Holding this inside my head

I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you


Oh I just can't take it
My heart is racing
The emotions keep spinning out


I've been spending all my time
Just thinking about ya
I don't know where to
I think I'm fallin' for you
I've been waiting all my life
and now I found ya
I don't know where to I think I'm fallin' for you
I'm fallin' for you
I think I'm fallin' for you

I can't stop thinking about it
I want you all around me
And now I just can't hide it
I think I'm fallin' for you (x2)

I'm fallin' for you

Ooohhh
Oh no no
Oooooohhh

Oh I'm fallin' for you

Ode Buat Rindu

Rinduku berhamburan dari selip-selip ingatan 
Ribu rasa membuncah meruah kenangan
Betapa ingin kurajah harap dan angan dalam genggaman

Kau tahu, kerap aku berharap punya nyali untuk berani
Menyanyikan puisi tentang waktu yang menggurat nadi
Andai mampu kutentang masa 
Andai mampu kuurai kelindan lajunya

Tetapi aku residivis realita, 
terperangkap dalam dunia maya
Mengais sisa-sisa mimpi, 
satu-satu kukumpulkan puing hati  

Dan di hadapanmu aku mendadak pemalu
Lidahku kelu, tergugu beku, tak mampu mengaku;
“Aku masih mencintaimu.”


~ jelang Sore, dan geletar Rindu di selip-selip ingatan

A Page

She stood there in the dark
silence was her only company;
“Breathe, breathe, let yourself breathe!”
she kept on saying that to herself

slowly, she began to collect pieces
of what seemed to be her heart;
one, two, three, piece by piece
she counted all night

--------

“How can I ever mend this broken heart?” she asked herself

mixed emotions rushed in, blocking her clear conscience
words stumbled, failed her once again

she turned a page, it was not the end

--------

“God, please,,, let it rain
so i can wash it all away, with one good cry.”

it started to rain. so hard.

Ad-infinitum

It is immensely spellbinding
The way your mind works; wildly!
And I feel like I can’t get enough of you
I want to, more and more,
Sail under the moonshaped eyes of yours
And consummate your perpetually intriguing thoughts.

If only I could eternize you in a tin can
So I can taste you from now to infinity and beyond.


~ to you. ah, you.

Pukul Sebelas Pagi Tadi



Ia masih terlelap di sisi tempat tidur
Bergelung di balik selimut dan mendengkur

Aku berkali-kali mengusik tidurnya
Selimut kutarik, pinggang kugelitik

Ia mengerang, menggeliat, membuka sebelah mata
Kutepuk pipinya, pelan saja

Kubilang; Beb, bangunlah, jadi kan menraktirku makan Sushi?
Jawabnya; Lima menit lagi ya Nggi.

Pukul sebelas pagi tadi, ia memutuskan untuk tidur lagi.


***lalu bagaimana nasib perut keronconganku?

 
Patal Senayan, di kamar kos seorang kawan
namanya..... Wulan :-P

My Top 5 Signature Themes' Result


I read this book "Now, Discover Your Strengths: How to Develop Your Talents and Those of the People You Manage" by Marcus Buckingham and Donald O. Clifton, then I took the test, and so here's the result of it. My five most dominant themes of talent, my top 5 Signature Themes. Each of them is a recurring pattern of thought, feeling, or behavior--the promise of a strength in me.
I totally agree with the result, for it amazingly shows me who I trully am. I recomend you to read this book and take the test as well to define your Signature Themes, in order to know or reveal your strengths. If you already have read the book and taken the test, please share your result with me and others here. Thanks for sharing, friends.

My Top 5 Signature Themes:

1. Context
You look back. You look back because that is where the answers lie. You look back to understand the present. From your vantage point the present is unstable, a confusing clamor of competing voices. It is only by casting your mind back to an earlier time, a time when the plans were being drawn up, that the present regains its stability. The earlier time was a simpler time. It was a time of blueprints. As you look back, you begin to see these blueprints emerge. You realize what the initial intentions were. These blueprints or intentions have since become so embellished that they are almost unrecognizable, but now this Context theme reveals them again. This understanding brings you confidence. No longer disoriented, you make better decisions because you sense the underlying structure. You become a better partner because you understand how your colleagues came to be who they are. And counterintuitively you become wiser about the future because you saw its seeds being sown in the past. Faced with new people and new situations, it will take you a little time to orient yourself, but you must give yourself this time. You must discipline yourself to ask the questions and allow the blueprints to emerge because no matter what the situation, if you haven’t seen the blueprints, you will have less confidence in your decisions.

2. Intellection
You like to think. You like mental activity. You like exercising the “muscles” of your brain, stretching them in multiple directions. This need for mental activity may be focused; for example, you may be trying to solve a problem or develop an idea or understand another person’s feelings. The exact focus will depend on your other strengths. On the other hand, this mental activity may very well lack focus. The theme of Intellection does not dictate what you are thinking about; it simply describes that you like to think. You are the kind of person who enjoys your time alone because it is your time for musing and reflection. You are introspective. In a sense you are your own best companion, as you pose yourself questions and try out answers on yourself to see how they sound. This introspection may lead you to a slight sense of discontent as you compare what you are actually doing with all the thoughts and ideas that your mind conceives. Or this introspection may tend toward more pragmatic matters such as the events of the day or a conversation that you plan to have later. Wherever it leads you, this mental hum is one of the constants of your life.

3. Connectedness
Things happen for a reason. You are sure of it. You are sure of it because in your soul you know that we are all connected. Yes, we are individuals, responsible for our own judgments and in possession of our own free will, but nonetheless we are part of something larger. Some may call it the collective unconscious. Others may label it spirit or life force. But whatever your word of choice, you gain confidence from knowing that we are not isolated from one another or from the earth and the life on it. This feeling of Connectedness implies certain responsibilities. If we are all part of a larger picture, then we must not harm others because we will be harming ourselves. We must not exploit because we will be exploiting ourselves. Your awareness of these responsibilities creates your value system. You are considerate, caring, and accepting. Certain of the unity of humankind, you are a bridge builder for people of different cultures. Sensitive to the invisible hand, you can give others comfort that there is a purpose beyond our humdrum lives. The exact articles of your faith will depend on your upbringing and your culture, but your faith is strong. It sustains you and your close friends in the face of life’s mysteries.

4. Input
You are inquisitive. You collect things. You might collect information—words, facts, books, and quotations—or you might collect tangible objects such as butterflies, baseball cards, porcelain dolls, or sepia photographs. Whatever you collect, you collect it because it interests you. And yours is the kind of mind that finds so many things interesting. The world is exciting precisely because of its infinite variety and complexity. If you read a great deal, it is not necessarily to refine your theories but, rather, to add more information to your archives. If you like to travel, it is because each new location offers novel artifacts and facts. These can be acquired and then stored away. Why are they worth storing? At the time of storing it is often hard to say exactly when or why you might need them, but who knows when they might become useful? With all those possible uses in mind, you really don’t feel comfortable throwing anything away. So you keep acquiring and compiling and filing stuff away. It’s interesting. It keeps your mind fresh. And perhaps one day some of it will prove valuable.

5. Learner
You love to learn. The subject matter that interests you most will be determined by your other themes and experiences, but whatever the subject, you will always be drawn to the process of learning. The process, more than the content or the result, is especially exciting for you. You are energized by the steady and deliberate journey from ignorance to competence. The thrill of the first few facts, the early efforts to recite or practice what you have learned, the growing confidence of a skill mastered—this is the process that entices you. Your excitement leads you to engage in adult learning experiences—yoga or piano lessons or graduate classes. It enables you to thrive in dynamic work environments where you are asked to take on short project assignments and are expected to learn a lot about the new subject matter in a short period of time and then move on to the next one. This Learner theme does not necessarily mean that you seek to become the subject matter expert, or that you are striving for the respect that accompanies a professional or academic credential. The outcome of the learning is less significant than the “getting there.”
