Make You Feel My Love - Bob Dylan / Adele (Dec 13) Acoustic Cover by ort...

When the rain is blowing in your face,
and the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
to make you feel my love.

When the evening shadows and the stars appear,
and there is no one there to dry your tears,
I could hold you for a million years
to make you feel my love.

I know you haven't made your mind up yet,
but I would never do you wrong.
I've known it from the moment that we met,
no doubt in my mind where you belong.

I'd go hungry; I'd go black and blue,
I'd go crawling down the avenue.
No, there's nothing that I wouldn't do
to make you feel my love.

The storms are raging on the rolling sea
and on the highway of regret.
Though winds of change are throwing wild and free,
you ain't seen nothing like me yet.

I could make you happy, make your dreams come true.
Nothing that I wouldn't do.
Go to the ends of the Earth for you,
to make you feel my love..

I (Secretly) Hate Birthday.

i hate being old, to be specific, i hate getting older with this same status.

i hate to pray the same wishes over and over again, year by year while blowing my birthday candles, have no idea when that wishes will be eventually happen to me (yes, i'm a selfish creature).

i hate the fact that i still feel empty even if i surrounded with group of my best friends, hugging me and cheering me up on my birthday dinner.

i hate to realize that there is no someone out there who could give me a call and made my 'special' day will be different than another day. again, i ended up said that today is just a day, i only get older, nothing more.

Happy 27th Birthday To Me..

cheers,

Random Thought

"Bukannya gue mau bilang bahwa perempuan itu kerja dan punya aset biar gampang cerai, ya. Sama sekali bukan. Tapi supaya kalau ngambil keputusan itu dengan kepala jernih. Mau tetep nikah emang karena cinta, bukan karena kalau cerai takut nggak punya apa-apa..."

The Urban Novel I Recently Read.

"Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans..."

"Do you know when you need to compartmentalize your life?  When you forgot the last time you travel somewhere other than for business.  When you never leave the office earlier than 8.  When it’s been two years since the last time you take a long leave of absence.  When all of your relationships went down the drain.  When you don’t even have the time to learn to drive.  When you forgot the last time you went on a real date. When you shop more than ever, justifying it by saying shopping is a therapy.  When you have time for everyone but yourself.  When the last thing that you did before you go to sleep is going through next day’s meeting in your head instead of messaging or calling your loved ones.  When the only private time you have is plugging your ears with headphones, listening to iPod as you close your eyes on the way to and from work everyday.  When the only time you’re home is when you sleep and take a bath..."

I just love that novel! Such a no-barrier urban novel with a strong characters built by the author. 

The story is about Keara, Harris and Ruly goes with their love triangle. What if in the person that you love, you find a best friend instead of a lover?

Keara is a single, late 20ist (if L'm not mistaken) women working as a bankers (just like me :p). Though there’s a lil bit of Keara in every woman. The fact that she’s smart yet she’s confused sometimes, or the fact that she knows what she wants but she simply doesn’t know how to get there, and the way her heart and her mind are colliding into each other when making decisions.

Harris is describe as a player, early 30ist guy, Keara's  office mate and partner in crime. A typically bad-boy, the chauvinistic bastard who date as many girls as he can, but also a really best friend at the pouring rain. I can sense a jerk in every words coming from his mouth, the sweetest words which could easily said by those kind of guys to fool us, women! But i couldn't fake the warm feeling when he came as your best friend, the one who always stood there for you, laugh out loud over the night with you or simply wipe your tears, saying "don't worry, everything gonna be ok.." 

Ruly is a smart-cool guy. A non-conversationalist -the one who prefer listen than talk-. An athlete want to be but unfortunately ended up as a bankers. "Do you see my car parks over there? By being an athlete in Indonesia, I surely couldn't afford to pay that car, pay my monthly apartment payment located at the heart of this city, pay my credit cards bills which i almost forget for what i spent it for..." Well there it goes, another someone's dream that have to throw away to the deepest of the sea just to be a 'normal-realistic-people' fulfilling their needs.

What i love about this novel is there are some massages the author want to tell:

1. you can close your eye for the things you do not want to see, you can cover your ear for the words you do not want to hear, BUT you can not shut your heart for the feeling you do not want to feel.

2. money can't buy a happiness, but someone will. At the end, you have to choose your own happiness, like everybody do. Looking back to the several years ago, hangin' here and there with all of your friends was the only things that made you happy. But, someday there may be the time when the only things that will make you happy is sitting at the park with your husband and kid(s) :)

3. Happily ever after does not always exist! sometimes you have to learn to let go the things you never reach for. Not because you gave it up, instead u've done trying but that things wasn't work it out.
