Are u fed up for living fast, modern, schedule-tight,plenty of responsibility,dirty organic gastronomy, artificial health, considered as VIP, insomniac, Fake beauty, and the last, having no idea what are u living for?
What am I to do Someone here is really not happy Put myself on a line It seems I never got through to you So I wean myself off slowly
I'm a darkened soul My streets all pop music and gold Our lives are on TV You switch off and try to sleep People get so lonely
I believe I believe I believe Everything's out to sea I believe I believe I believe I believe That is the way it should be I hope you feel the same
Everyone is dying Stop crying now here comes the sun I didn't mean to hurt you no no no It takes time to see what you have done So I wean myself off slowly
I believe I believe I believe Love is the only one I deceive I deceive I deceive I deceive Cos' I'm not that strong Hope you feel the same
And now it seems that we're falling apart But I hope I see the good in you come back again I just believed in you
"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that’s what everyone wants. But a true Soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that’s holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true Soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever met, because they tear you down walls and smack you awake. But to live with a Soul mate forever? Nah. too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then they leave. And thank God for it. Your problem is, you just can’t let this one go. it’s over Groceries. His purpose was to shake you up, drive you out of your relationship that you needed to leave, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light could get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you had to transform your life, than introduce you to your spiritual master and beat it. That was his job, and he did great, but now it’s over." “But I love him” “So love him” “But I miss him“ ” So miss him, Send him some love and light every time you think about him, and then drop it."

Waktu pertama kali saya baca bukunya, sekitar tahun 2007, buku ini seperti holy bible untuk sebuah pembenaran dari pengalaman yang sedang berlangsung. Pada halaman berapapun saya buka buku itu, seolah ada jawaban dari pertanyaan yang sedang saya ajukan. Bedanya, saya nggak perlu ke India untuk menemukan Tuhan, seperti manusia post-mod pada umumnya. hehehe Mungkin saya membaca buku ini pada saat yang tepat. Kutipan di atas adalah best line menurut saya. Sayangnya kutipan ini cuma diambil satu kalimat aja di versi filmnya. Saya sempat merekomendasikan novel ini ke beberapa teman yang senasib dan mereka ketularan sindrom pasca baca novel ini. Ada beberapa orang yang bilang novelnya klise, tapi tunggu... bukankah hidup ini memang klise ya? hehehehe
Komentar untuk filmnya? Yah, lumayan lah sebagai bahan promosi gratis pariwisata Indonesia. :) Oh ya! James Franco itu pas jadi David dan Javier Bardem emang Felipe banget.
"Daripada terus menjadikan ketidaknyamanan angkutan publik di Jakarta sebagai alasan untuk tidak menggunakannya, lebih baik berinisiatif untuk memanfaatkannya, atau jalanan kota ini berubah jadi neraka tingkat akhir."
*sudah kenyang mendengarkan pengguna kendaraan pribadi mengeluh tanpa melakukan tindakan konkret untuk mengurangi kemacetan.

I think this word suits me at the moment. Maybe it's one of my reason to keep God in mind. I'm not looking for a stability or a balance of mind. I'm just looking for more possibilities to jump from one to another. I'd like to see what equality might be. Can we just simplify each phenomenon? Make it just like common sense, so every incident is just a serendipity. There is no such a thing as certainty, because you don't need it. All you need in your life is flux. The upside-down movement to put yourself in gravity.

Saya pecinta setia Sofia Coppola. Saya pernah bilang ke seorang teman, kalau ada perempuan yang bisa bikin saya berubah orientasi, Sofia Coppola lah orangnya... Saat tahu film terbarunya akan tayang, saya girang bukan kepalang. Meskipun Marrie Antoinette hasil interpretasi Sofia dicerca, saya tetap membela. Kali ini, dengan film berjudul "Somewhere", dia kembali untuk membuat kita terus bertanya-tanya. Berdoa saja tayang di Indonesia (amin).
Mau ke mana hari ini? Ke SoHo? Tribeca? Semua ada di Jakarta. Awali pagimu dengan Frappuccino Caramel di gerai Starbucks. Berjalan melewati gedung pencakar langit, menembus kerumunan pekerja berdasi dan berhak tinggi. Masuk ke gedung World Trade Center melalui pemeriksaan super ketat metal detector. Mengikuti kelas bahasa inggris beraroma bisnis di Wall Street. Butuh pelarian saat istirahat makan siang? bergegaslah ke Central Park, ada ruang hijau buatan dikelilingi beton kokoh. Takut telat masuk dan belum makan sempat makan siang? Jangan pikir dua kali, pesan whooper di Burger King, tak sampai lima menit bisa segera dinikmati. Daripada bosan menunggu waktu kerja habis, tidak ada salahnya mencari tahu tren terkini di majalah Elle, Harpers Bazaar, atau Marie Claire. Perempuan karir independen tak lupa mengulik tips naik jabatan dari majalah Cosmopolitan. Bagi pria uberseksual, bisa buka halaman mode di Esquire, mengintip perempuan berbikini di FHM, atau tips membentuk tubuh di Menshealth. Pulang kantor bertemu kolega bisnis di hotel Manhattan. Berganti kostum untuk menghabiskan malam. Dibalut dengan DKNY jeans, kemeja putih CK, menenteng tas lansiran terbaru Kate Spade. Buat yang muda bisa nongkrong di 7/11, meredakan dahaga dengan es serut a la Slurpee. Kemacetan adalah hal biasa, kebisingan bukan apa-apa. Di sela-sela gemerlap lampu kota, ada mereka yang mengais sampah sisa-sisa kerakusan. Warganya tidur lewat tengah malam mencoba berdamai dengan keterasingan. Tapi kotanya tak pernah tidur, terus berdenyut, menunggu mangsa yang akan datang.
Ini era globalisasi kawan, yang trendi di sana bisa langsung diadaptasi di sini. Tinggal tunggu Invasi Ipad atau antrian sesi di psikiater langganan. Untung kita masih awam dengan Prozac dan anonymous club. Tapi sayang di Jakarta nggak ada MoMA (Museum of Modern Art), tim polisi sekeren NYPD atau venue gigs selegendaris CBGB. Alhamdulillah Vogue belum buka cabang di sini, Urban Outfitters dan American Apparels belum ada franchise di Jakarta. Kalau sampai mereka ada juga di Jakarta, ckckck... nggak yakin iman bisa kuat.
I love to love someone who loves trying to love me. I hate celery and papaya for my own sake. I curse someone who rearranges my day plan. I'm an opportunist, aren't we?. I persist for what I believe and Not Believe. I'm so fashionably Marxist.I must be having bipolar disorder. I dream about cohabitation since I'm not yet believe in marriage institution. I'm dying to be a loser. I'm too smart to be deceived. I collect my dating memorabilia (from movie ticket to restaurant bill). I don't want having a false commitment. I'm an individual person and not that collective, starving-for-everyone's business type. I don' smoke and fight against irresponsible smokers. I never believe in love at the first sight. I'm always crazy about gothic and ethereal things but big no no for superstitious things. I worry my mom doesn't want me to be an activist. I always consider what zodiac might say. I graduated from state-capitalist Univerisity at 20, so my life begin at 20. I can live without internet, at least during my thesis finalization. I never broke my promises but people around me did it. I take unimportant thing seriously. I always count what had been passed
