If Only...


Hehehe, jangan ketipu ama judulnya... It's a just movie I watched yesterday, while i was alone at home .  Judulnya If Only...


I'm not a girl who really fond of romantic movies and easily shed my tears by watching those kind of movies.  The only romantic movie that still be my favorite is Sleepless in Seattle.    


If Only, this movie really rocks, i mean it was so sweet that a guy would want to relive the day again just to save his true love... and would love her today like there was no tomorrow... He started to share anything about his life, which never been shared before.. His childhood, his family.. He even asked her to have a ride in London Eye, though he knew his girl friend's affraid of heights.. When it reached the highest point, she forgot her phobia and realize how beautiful the city scene from the top of the Eye..and she knew, that she'll be save with him...  He also brought her a bracelet, with old and new charms with it.  One of the charm is heart, his heart...  and she hold his heart in her hand... so touchy...


Watching this movie, made me wiped away my tears... huehuehue... 


Below is the summary written on its cover:


After his impetuous musician girlfriend, Samantha (Hewitt), dies in an accident shortly after they had a fight (and nearly broke up), a grief-stricken British businessman, Ian Wyndham (Nicholls), living in London gets a chance to relive the day all over again, in the hope of changing the events that led up to her getting killed...


Remember to always say what you mean.  If you love someone, tell!  Don't be afraid to express yourself.  Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.  Because when you decide that it is the right time, it might be too late.

Diane Warren Presents: Love Songs

Rating:★★★★
Category:Music
Genre: Pop
Artist:Various Artists
18 of the Most Beautiful Songs Written From The Heart----

Begitu judul yang saya baca di sampul CD-nya. Siapa yang tau Diane Warren or at lease familiar with this name? Mungkin nama ini asing di telinga kita. Tapi kalau kita sebut lagu-lagu yang ngetop jaman taun '80 or '90 -an, nah.. kemungkinan besar lagu itu adalah ciptaannya. Kebetulan, saya termasuk orang yang suka mengamati text lagu di kaset or CD yang saya beli. Sehingga saya sedikit2 tau lah, apa itu lagu2 ciptaan penyanyinya sendiri atau diciptain oleh orang lain, spt Diane Warren ini. So, when i read an article about Diane Warren dan CD kompilasi lagu2 hasil karyanya yang bakal keluar, saya pengen buru2 pergi ke kota besar or peradaban to purchase the CD and cant hardly wait to play and listen to it. Terbayang lagu2 favorit jaman saya SMA & kuliah dulu. Saya juga teringat film Up Close & Personal yang saya tonton waktu ultah pacar pertama saya. Tentu saja saya nontonnya berdua, masa sendiri! =)) Salah satu OST film tsb (Because You Loved Me - Celine Dion) merupakan ciptaan mbak Diane Warren. Saya suka sekali lagu tsb... karena liriknya memang indah, plus vokal celine dion yang berkarakter...dan juga terpengaruh suasana hati, dengan siapa saya nonton film yang OST-nya lagu tsb.. ;-)

Saya kutip dari artikel di majalah yang saya baca, kalo Diane Warren merupakan wanita penulis lagu yang paling berpengaruh di dunia dalam 3 dekade terakhir ini. Buat Diane Warren, mencipta lagu adalah suatu pekerjaan yang ia cintai, dimana ia harus mendorong dirinya supaya produktif dan tidak hanya tergantung mood. Tidak heran kalau lagu2 ciptaannya begitu indah, karena lagu2 tsb berasal dari hati.

Ada 18 lagu dalam CD itu, salah satunya dinyanyikan oleh KD. Ya betul! KD or Kris Dayanti. Hebat ya... bisa dapat kesempatan menyanyikan lagu ciptaan Diane Warren. Karena katanya Diane Warren itu pemilih banget... maksudnya si penyanyi harus punya karakter suara yang cocok ama lagunya. Album yang ada KD-nya ini khusus untuk Indonesia, Malaysia, & Brunei.

Suka lagu2 ini: Because You Loved Me, I Turn To You, I Dont Wanna Miss A Thing, How Do I Live, Saving Forever For You...? Beli deh albumnya! Lagu2 itu hanya sebagian dari album yang total berisi 18 lagu.

Don't Look Back in Anger

Rating:★★★★
Category:Music
Genre: Alternative Rock
Artist:OASIS
Sejak akhir may kemarin, aku sering banget nyanyi or denger lagu ini..
Jadi inget ama alm. adikku yang sering setel lagu ini klo lg dimarahin ortu.
Dilanjut dengan lagu Everybody Hurts-nya REM... heheheh lucu ya! Melankolis banget getoo...

Virus lagu ini juga udah nular ke penghuni wisma petani yg lain...
Grace & ira niat banget belajar gitarnya ama oom Banyun...
Sementara yang lain, ikutan nyanyi2 sampe hapal liriknya saking seringnya mp3 lagu ini di putar dikamarku...

The message i got from this song is: klo udah lewat ya udah, ngga usah diinget-inget lagi klo cuma bikin sedih, apalagi sampe marah...
Tapiii.... when i sing a song, it doesnt reflect my feeling lohh... :-))
To listen to d song, just go to 'Music' folder. Enjoy!

Don’t Look Back in Anger

Slip inside the eye of your mind
Don't you know you might find a better place to play
You said that you'd never been
But all the things that you've seen will slowly fade away

So I start a revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up besides the fireplace take that look from off your face
You ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as we're walking on by
Her soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say

Take me to the place where you go, where nobody knows if it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands of a Rock n Roll band
Who'll throw it all away

So I start the revolution from my bed
Cos you said the brains I have went to my head
Step outside the summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace take that look from off your face
Cause you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out

So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say
So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger I heard you say
So Sally can wait, she knows its too late as she's walking on by
My soul slides away, but don't look back in anger
Don't look back in anger, I heard you say
At least not today

The Meaning of My Hijab

One day, a friend came to me, and asked:


Why do you have to wear hijab?


Why can’t you be like other girls, who live free and not oppressed?


Why do you have to cover your hair and beautiful body?


You now live in the West, the land of free


 


I then smiled and answered:


Call me crazy but this hijab reflects my pride and dignity 


My hijab is a symbol of my faith


It is a symbol of my chastity and modesty


A symbol of righteousness and piety


It protects my heart from uncertainty


 


Please open your eyes and your mind, my friend


It is not a symbol of oppression like some people think


If I were oppressed,


I wouldn’t be leave my country and family and be here to study


I wouldn’t have high goals and eager to find as much knowledge I could get


I wouldn’t be active in campus clubs and become a president in an honor society


 


I choose to wear hijab because


I want people to see me from what I am inside not what I am outside



So you can see, I am free


 


I am not oppressed


And I hope you will also open your eyes to see


That Islam is not a violence religion


It is a religion of peace


As peace as my body and mind, my heart and soul


as a Muslim


 


Sudahkah hijab dan sikap kita menunjukkan:


"I just want people to see me from what I am inside, not from what I am outside.."
