[Lyric] A1 - Like A Rose

This song brings me back to the time when I was still in Elementary, Backstreet Boys and Westlife were the best and most popular bands we love back then. Then NSYNC and A1 started to be popular as well, and Like A Rose was, if I may say, as popular as This I Promise U.

Songwriter(s) :    Steve Mac, Wayne Hector, Ben Adams

 

Lyric

And as I look into your eyes
I see an angel in disguise
Sent from god above
For me to love
To hold and idolize

And as I hold your body near
I'll see this month through to a year
And then forever on
Til life is gone
I'll keep your loving near

And now I've finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do
Is follow you
To lighten off my load

You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You open doors that close
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose

And when I feel like hope is gone
You give me strength to carry on
Each time I look at you
There's something new
To keep our loving strong

I hear you whisper in my ear
All of the words I long to hear
Of how you'll always be
Here next to me
To wipe away my tears

And now I've finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do
Is follow you
To lighten off my load

You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You opened doors I closed
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose

And though the seasons change
Our love remains the same
You face the thunder
When the sunshine turns to rain
Just like a rose

You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You opened doors I closed
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose

You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
Just like a rose

Travelling with My Best Friend

Hi, I'm back with another rant. This time, I want to write down my expense when I went on a backpacking vacation with my best friend. Here I'm going to share some of the things that happened before and after the trip. 

POINT 1    PLANNING

Half a year before the trip, around August, my friends and I talked about going for a vacation together.  Bestie Blue (I'm using their favorite color instead of giving initials or number okay, both of them are my bestie, none of them is best or worse than other) suggested Semarang as our destination. Bestie Red said she's up to anywhere we would want to go to as long as it is a vacation, Red just wanna have fun. I told them that I'd like to explore more than just Semarang, which is why we added Yogyakarta as our second destination.

So, it was decided that we will be going on this trip on May for it is the low-season where most of the prices are lower or discounted.

But there is a problem, Red wanted to go using her car. Blue and I don't really like the idea of going with another addition such as her driver, meanwhile between the three of us Red is the only one who can drive, that would be extremely tiring. So, Blue and I agreed to use train, but Red said she needs time to decide if she would go or not.

At the end of year 2016, Red decided not to go, so it's just Blue and I. We started making our itinerary. Listing down the places we wanted to visit and how we budgeting all the expecting expenses. In between our own schedules in college, we still got time to meet for a discussion, and we also used google drive to share documents for working on our itinerary planning. 

 

RESULT OF THE PLANNING

WHO (will be going):                    Blue and I

WHEN (will we go):                     May 15th 2017 - May 21st 2017

WHERE (will we go):                   May 15th to Semarang

                                          May 18th to Yogyakarta

WHY (we chose the destination):     Semarang because Blue knows the city

                                          Yogyakarta to use the opportunity of the trip

WHAT (to do there):                  Visit the historical places in both cities

HOW (are we going to travel):       Use train, bus, local transportation, walking.

 

POINT 2     BUDGETING 

Budgeting is the most important thing while planning a trip, especially when you're going backpacking.

So, after finishing our 'must visit list' and 'what to do there', we decided to limit our budget for under IDR 1.000.000

My mom helped me by giving me half of the budget, because my saving was still under 500k, so it was the real help when mom said, she will give the rest of the money I need.

The point of budgeting is to know what our limit in spending our money, we need to calculate everything before doing the trip itself in order to avoid problems while we're away from home.

 

POINT 3    ITINERARY

The second most important thing in planning a trip is the itinerary. This part will help us manage our days on our trip, it's a schedule to remind us of what we would do. If it is not on the list, you better not do it or you'll have some extra spending with your budget.

We used google search to look up for prices and what's in there we could do, this helped us estimating our expenses.

 

POINT 4    PREPARATION

Preparation is the time needed to make sure that we are safe in every conditions. Clothes, undies, warm wears, hat, sanitary pads, toiletries, medicine, spare money kept on secret pocket, book and pen, tickets, chargers, and SD cards.

 

POINT 5    PATIENCE & COMMITMENT

This is also important to keep in mind. 

• Patience.

Since you are going away from home with another person with different personality, you will need all the patience you can have in whatever situation occurs.

•  Commitment

You made the itinerary, you made the plan, you stick on it to the end. You need the commitment to follow the itinerary made for your trip to go be a success one. If you decided not visit malls, then don't go to a mall at all.

 

POINT 6    THE UNPLANNED

I learned something big from this trip in a hard way. There will definitely be something unplanned happen while you're away. This is something that will happen no matter how perfect your plan is.

For example, I obviously did not plan to break my shoes that I had to buy a new one while in Semarang. We also planned to use train from Semarang to Yogyakarta to save time and budget, but ended up using travel bus which is more expensive and take longer time to arrive in the destination.

 

POINT 7    UNDERSTANDING

There is this thing called conflict, especially when fatigue hit the explorers. 

When we used the travel tour bus from Semarang to Yogyakarta, I honestly told Blue that this exceeded my budget. Having to spend 70k instead of the planned 10k is a big difference for me, not to mention I just had to buy a pair of shoes.  But it seems like Blue couldn't get the simple phrase, because when we arrived in Yogyakarta, Blue decided to get a room at the nearest hotel because Blue was tired. So instead of going to the planned '70k a night' inn, we paid 190k in total for the hotel stay. 

There is also another problem. Maybe because I am used with using public transportation where ever I go, I felt it is too expensive to use online taxi everywhere we went. 

 

POINT 8    HONESTY     

Last but not least, it is honesty. When there is a mashed up of personalities, there will be conflict right? But every conflict can be solved with a talk, an honest talk. Between friends, I admit, I was disappointed that we didn't talk it out after that, but instead we went on silent treatment for almost a year.

Good thing that in this friendship we still have Red. Even though it was only through Instagram DM, we are now talking again.

Honesty is really important to keep everything fine. Next time, when there is another trip, where ever and when ever it would be, with whoever it would be, if you feel something is not going right, talk it out, be honest, don't shut, and most importantly don't fight. 

[Lyric] Bigbang - 声をきかせて (Koe o Kikasete) + translation

 

Kanji - 声をきかせて

さっきまでの雨はもう上がって
アスファルト漂う街の匂い
ねえそっちも　もう晴れてるよね
西から回復するって
朝は苦手な君だからねえ
毎日ちゃんと起きられてるかい？
そんなこと未だに心配してるよ

広がる空はそう自由で
何も変わってないけれど
隣に今はただ…ただ君がいないだけ

声をきかせて
素直になればきっと
分かりあえるはずさ
ココロを開いて
声をきかせて
歩いてきた道は僕たちにとってきっと
大切なSTEPさ　その未来への

君と初めて出逢ったのはそう
ちょうど今くらいの季節だったね
ライトアップした街並みが
きれいに輝いていた
泣き虫な君はあれからよく
僕の肩におでこをのっけて
泣いてたね　その温もりに
無性に触れたくなる

人は誰でもそれぞれに悩みを抱えて生きる
壊れそうな心を必死に抱きしめて

声をきかせて
優しくなればもっと
愛し合えるはずさ
目をそらさないで
声をきかせて
絡みつく不安も寂しさも越えて行こう
今のこの気持ちが絆になる

Yeah, Since you went away hasn't been the same
In my heart all i got is pain
Could it be that i play the game
To loose you, i can't maintain
Sunlight moonlight you lit my life
Realize in the night while love shines bright
Can't let you go we were meant for forever baby let me know

Days passed without you can't forget you
Letting me be the cloud hanging above me
Raining on me missing your touch
Nights get longer and it's hard to clutch
We're apart breaks my heart
Its all for the best girl, you're my world
In time my love unfurls
'Till then wait for you girl

声をきかせて
素直になればきっと
分かりあえるはずさ
ココロを開いて
声をきかせて
歩いてきた道は僕たちにとってきっと
大切なSTEPさ　その未来への

Translation - Let Me Hear Your Voice

The rain just now has stopped
The smell of asphalt is floating around the city
Hey, over there too, the weather is fine already right?
For I heard the weather has cleared up from the west (***)
Since you’re not a morning person
Everyday, will you be able to wake up properly?
I’m still worried about things like that

The sky still spreads so freely
Although nothing has changed
Right now, just that… it’s only just that you are not by my side

Let me hear your voice
If we become honest, surely
We'll be able to understand each other
Please open your heart
Let me hear your voice
The path we have come is, for us, definitely
An important STEP to that future

The first time I met you was
Around this season right?
The light up street was
Glowing beautifully
The crybaby-you, from that time on, often
Laid your forehead on my shoulder
You were crying right? That extreme warmth
From your touch on my shoulder

Everyone lives, carrying his own worry
Desperately holding his broken heart

Let me hear you voice
If we become more kind
We'll be able to love each other
Don’t avert my eyes
Let me hear your voice
Let's get over those entwined anxieties and loneliness
The feelings of this moment become our bond

Yeah, Since you went away hasn't been the same
In my heart all i got is pain
Could it be that i play the game
To loose you, i can't maintain
Sunlight moonlight you lit my life
Realize in the night while love shines bright
Can't let you go we were meant for forever baby let me know

Days passed without you can't forget you
Letting me be the cloud hanging above me
Raining on me missing your touch
Nights get longer and it's hard to clutch
We're apart breaks my heart
Its all for the best girl, you're my world
In time my love unfurls
'Till then wait for you girl

Let me hear your voice
If we become honest, surely
We'll be able to understand each other
Please open your heart
Let me hear your voice
The path we have come is, for us, surely
An important STEP to that future

Real Horror Stories of My Own Experiences (Episode 3)

School

Back to the horror stories. This time, I'm telling you about those things that happened at my school.

So, when I was in Junior High School, when I was still on the first year, our school made a camping night. Students who owned tents can use the grass yard and those who don't can sleep in the class rooms. I happened to use my class, the class room 1 - D.

 

The activity was from the evening, we play games, sports competition, outdoor dining (which we brought our own meal in box - students from the Monastery Dorm can just walk to the dorm and eat before going back to the school again), and dance to musics until late. It was done on Saturday night. 

It was already 11 PM when we were all still dancing, suddenly someone screamed and pointing to the library area, where all the chairs from the class rooms that used for sleeping were stacked at. Most of the other students also scream and stepped back, I remember being panic and run with my other friends and hug each others at the side where we feel safe at. 

I don't remember the detail because I didn't see it myself, but my friends who saw exactly what the others were screaming about told me, there was a Dutch girl, blonde, her hair braided, standing in front of the library looking at us with sadness. You might think, okay, is that all? But no, the girl wasn't just normally standing there, she was standing at where the chairs were stacked up high, where most lower part of her body stood through the chairs and half up her chest to her head is above the chairs, as if she was a hologram. She was there for about a minute and gone. Our headmaster then told all of us to gather, the music had stopped, we say a prayer and dismissed to sleep. The night wasn't smoothly passed, most of us girls struggled when we need to go to the toilet which located behind the library, to access the toilet we had to walk passed the library area and go through a narrow hall, not to mention the toilet was also huge and has so many small rooms. We had to wait until there a more than three others who wanted to go to the toilet then go there together in group, luckily our PA teachers and Art teachers were patrolling that night so we feel safe. I don't know about the boys though, their toilet located at the back of the canteen, which is the furthest from the front yard.

Talking about the toilet, it has its own story too. So, inside the toilet, there is one at the corner that is bigger in room size, the only one with bigger water tub, have toilet seat (the other has squat toilet), and used white tiles on the floor and walls. Story said there was a girl who slipped and died there, she was the marching band majorette, she went there when the practice was on break, they said it was on break for Angelus Prayer, so when she slipped there in the toilet, all the students were chanting Angelus Prayer all around the school, no one heard her fell. Her head was bleeding badly and she was too weak to scream for help. So, students had this belief that when it's Angelus Prayer, no one should go to the toilet, and if you hear closely, the marching band instruments in the storage would play faintly.

In my third year, on out free time at class, we somehow managed to get Ms. M (our History teacher) to leak some truth to us regarding the horror stories that was spread among the students for quite sometimes.

Ms. M said, you can actually see that blonde girl in front of the library roaming around the school if you have the ability to see ghosts. She was a top student in her time at the school, she was half Dutch - half Indonesian (wasn't sure about her true ethnicity), one day when she went home, she was caught in an accident just right in front of her house after she hopped off her car, it was only a week before final and she would graduate. Those who can see ghost usually saw her inside the library or inside the laboratory, but she never scare people or disturbing anyone, she would just roam in silent or sitting as if she was day dreaming. That night when she shows herself, it was probably because of the liveliness created that night was too much different than her usual peace. 

Ms. M also confirmed that the majorette story was also true. But it doesn't stop there, Ms. M told us about the mysterious 'three nuns' carved on the stone walls at the small field over the creek that separate our grass yard with the hill to the Hospital (Gunung Maria Hospital), she said the carvings were already there for a long time, no ghosts in that area, but that place will always be kept clean and sometimes flowers will be put there. Maybe it was a private grave.

But after talking about that with my grandma, she said it was not a grave. She then told me for the first time, that when she was about 6 years old, she actually lived in that Monastery with her two sisters, one was older and one was just born. They lived there before the World War 2 officially started but according to my grandma, the children there were all evacuated from their home because the issue of the war was already spread, however, when Japanese started their invasion, all the parents take their children home or away in hiding, especially those who have Dutch relations or officials, in my grandma's case, her father was a police commissioner.

Grandma said while living there, there was an annual Christmas Drama show in the Monastery for the children and they would use a real baby to be baby Jesus, three of the babies died before their second Christmas, and then there were never real baby used as baby Jesus ever again, my grandma's little sister was the third baby that died. So the location where the carvings were at, was the place where the show would be held at, so the carvings must be made to commemorate the babies that died after their show there.

I don't have the picture of the carvings because back then when I went to school there, students were not allowed to bring any gadgets, not even an alfalink was allowed. But here I'll leave some pictures of my grandma and her family, grandma's little sister, the nuns, and the children in the monastery.

(from left; Grand Uncle Rudy - Great Grand Father - Great Grand Mother (holding Grand Uncle Boy) - Grandma (the one in the front) Theresia - Grand Aunt Thelma - Grand Uncle Lexy) : this photo was taken after grandma left the monastery, this house is where Great Grand Father was task to leave as he was the Head Police in the area

(this is Grand Aunt Conny: April 4th 1939 - September 20th 1940)

Here are the picture of the children in the monastery back in that time, my grandma wasn't in both of the picture but Grand Aunt Thelma was in one of them.

Here are some of the nuns in the Monastery that was in there when grandma entered the place.

Remember the story when I saw a nun in the dorm, she was wearing an exact same robe as the nuns above were wearing. Back when I was in the dorm, our head-sister's robe was different and a bit shorter where you can see their shoes.

[Lyric] Alex - 화분 [Flower Pot] + translation

The first time I heard this song was when I watched Alex and Sinae in We Got Married, the most romantic couple, too bad their life as married couple in the show stopped early because Alex was too busy with his schedule, and when he's not 'that busy', Sinae got married for real with her real life lover.

멀리서 멀리서 멀리서 그대가 오네요
이 떨리는 마음을 어떻게 말해야 하나요
그댄 처음부터 나의 마음을 빼앗고
나을수 없는 병을 내게 주었죠
화분이 될래요 나는 늘 기도하죠

난 그대 작은 창가에 화분이 될게요
아무 말 못해도 바랄수 없어도
가끔 그대의 미소와 손길을 받으며
잠든 그대 얼굴 한없이 볼 수 있겠죠

멀리도 멀리도 멀리도 그대가 가네요
떨어지는 눈물을 어떻게 달래야 하나요
그댄 처음부터 나의 마음을 가졌고
나을수 없는 병을 앓게 한거죠
화분이 되고픈 나는 늘 기도하죠

난 그대 작은 창가에 화분이 될게요
아무 말 못해도 바랄수 없어도
가끔 그대의 미소와 손길을 받으며
잠든 그대 얼굴 한없이 볼 수 있겠죠

Translation

From afar, from afar, from afar, you are coming
How can I describe in words about this trembling heart
You stole my heart from the beginning
And gave me an incurable sickness
I want to become a flowerpot, I always pray

I’ll become a flowerpot on your small windowsill
Even if I can’t talk or wish for anything
I could receive your smile and touch every now and then
And see your fast asleep face

From afar, from afar, from afar, you are leaving
How can I stop these trembling tears
You, took my heart from the beginning
And made me fall ill with an incurable sickness
I want to become a flowerpot, I always pray

I’ll become a flowerpot on your small windowsill
Even if I can’t talk or wish for anything
I could receive your smile and touch every now and then
And see your fast asleep face

Look Beyond What's Seen

 

I saw an old man sitting alone at the bus stop, he's wearing a blue stripped shirt, black trouser kept up by the leather brown belt, he was wearing a pair of worn out leather sandals. His arms crossed, head up straight, eyes wandered probably hoping to get a glance of an upcoming bus, which nowhere to be seen.

It looks normal.

Until i found the worry plastered on his face. He was worried of something, but he hid it well, closed barrier between him and stranger so no one would ask him a thing. I never know what he was worrying about for the bus i was waiting came first.

I heard a kid asking countless questions to his father at the train station. It was annoying. He was asking literally everything. He was asking why was train created, how does a train work, is the man driving the train a driver or a pilot or is it a captain, why there are so many people in the station, why are people created. I heard his father answered every question with patience.

He is a father, and that was his kid after all.
But then i heard the kid asked, "Are we going on a vacation too?"
I peek at the kid and his father. The father was sitting straight, arms laid on both side of his thighs, eyes closed. He said, "not now".
 

Something was hidden in his answer.
 

"Will you buy me one toy?"
The kid was asking for a toy instead of toys.Is it because he understand that his father could only buy him one instead of dozens?
The father answered, "I will".

Then the kid continued his questions.

Sometimes we judged things too fast, judging from our point of view, comparing to what we expect as the 'better'. We used to see things just the way it looks like to us. Like we see a wall as a plain wall but behind the story of the wall was fathers working to bring home meals for his family, a man trying to save money so he can make a living, a boy hoping to get enough for buying things he desired or to simply make his loved ones happy.

Open your eyes, see around you, what do you see? 

No, not the things around you, not the things happening now, but what's behind it.
Open your heart, try to understand why something is the way it is. 

Learning from the old man, he probably needs help but he wasn't an open person. He maybe needs someone to talk to but too scared to start a conversation with a stranger. Not everyone in this world could easily ask around when they are lost. 

If you see one, ask them if they need any help, help them or find someone that could help them. Learning from the kid and the father, it was annoying to face a kid that asked too much, but aren't we all were just a kid with a bunch of questions...

Translation

I stopped right here not daring to move any further
Hoping that I can stop the grieves from surfacing
The separation which you wrote with your own hands on the next page of my life
Left me no choice of rejection

We walked down this road in a rush
Holding on to desires which are not even realistic

It’s too late, though we couldn’t wait, to look back and admire
The lovely scent of Magnolia is still too weak to cover up this pain
—
I stopped looking at the sunlight which pierced through the clouds in the skies
I stopped searching for the heaven we promised each other
I stopped sighing over the uncertainties in life you told me about
It’s a short-lived sunbeam I’d never be able to borrow anyway
—

I stopped right here not daring to move any further
Hoping that I can stop the grieves from surfacing
The separation which you wrote with your own hands on the next page of my life
Left me no choice of rejection
We walked down this road in a rush
Holding on to desires which are not even realistic
It’s too late, though we couldn’t wait, to look back and admire
The lovely scent of Magnolia is still too weak to cover up this pain
—
I stopped looking at the sunlight which pierced through the clouds in the skies
I stopped searching for the heaven we promised each other
I stopped sighing over the uncertainties in life you told me about
It’s a short-lived sunbeam I’d never be able to borrow anyway

I stopped looking at the sunlight which pierced through the clouds in the skies
I stopped searching for the heaven we promised each other
I stopped sighing over the uncertainties in life you told me about
It’s a short-lived sunbeam I’d never be able to borrow anyway
That heaven is the place I once loved you
