The Great Gatsby

image

I’ve been wanted to read this book since along ago. But the thought of purchasing one I’ve looked at the price then my mind instantly making an important list of things to buy rather than this book. There’s an Indonesian proverbs kalau jodoh nggak kemana (when it’s the one for you then it will always comes around).
I should thank Baz Luhrman for making a movie adaptation from this book, because the publisher are being so kind to republish this book with movie edition cover (movie tie-in).
Now you know why I bought this book as soon as I see it, YES it was because Mr. Dicaprio standing so flawlessly in the cover along with the other cast of the movie with a 20’s style. Besides it was only 85k for the traveler size book. I can’t be grateful enough of my finding that day.
I read this book with no mercy, just one day and it was at the cemetry during my grandma cremation. And what was I’m gonna say is that I should be a witness of Jay Gatsby being blindly in love, trying to make an effort and make himself ‘rich’ just to get someone who legally belong to someone else. The more I think about it the more I hate myself (don’t ask me why), and then I hate Jay Gatsby, and then back to myself again. It was just tragic. Well done Mr. Fitzgerald.

We Bought A Zoo

Dylan :I can't stand it here! Can't you see that?
Benjamin :No! But thank you for telling me, again! I keep forgetting, it's all about you! Why don't I just pack us up. We'll just...we'll just go on the road together. We could be hobo's.
Dylan :Because you wasted all our money! Some of that belonged to me, dad!
Benjamin :I didn't waste our money. I thought you liked it here. And I'm sorry, I thought your friends would come out and visit you, man. I...I...I called them all myself and I invited 'em. And I'm sorry, I thought you and Lily were friends! I thought...I thought...I thought...I thought this was...! I mean, I thought you liked me! I thought this was a dream come true for us!
Dylan :It's your dream! You can't force a dream onto someone else, dad!
Benjamin :Yes, I can! I can force a dream on you!
Dylan :Why are you yelling?
Benjamin :Because it's a good dream! And it's got cool animals in it and some pretty great people too! And because I'm your father and I'm the only one you've got, and the line of people in this world who really care about you ends here! So stop mopping around this place, man. And pick up a shovel and dig a hole! Do something!You just sit here and feel sorry for yourself, man! Help me with your sister. Help me, dammit!
Dylan :Help me, dammit! Help me!

A New Chapter

This is where I’m gonna put my currently favorite, or currently listening song. It’s just the place where I’m going to breathe and make myself feeling fine when the song is over.

Bibliophile means a lover of books; one who loves to read, admire and collect books. I have a serious relationship with books. I have a special shelves for books that I haven’t read in my room, and I feel bad for them. In this Bibliophile Journal I want to share everything I had in mind about books I already read. To write is to read, that’s why I make a rule for my self one book per month.

I have a thing about live music concert or you probably called it gigs and photography. There was something about going to concert, and capture it into photograph. The feeling that came after the concert when I see the picture I took. To be in the crowd, sing along, and having a good time. I’ll share the picture or the video I took at the concert, write maybe a little about it.

"The world is always changing. Everyday it’s changing. Everything in life is changing. We have to look inside ourselves to find what stays the same. Such as loyalty our shared history and love for each other. In them the truth of the past lives on… In my entire life, I have longed for love. I always thought I understood it. But now I see, with shame and sorrow.. that I understand nothing of deep - hearted love. The love between sisters."

VAMPIRE WEEKEND - Step

@1 week ago

Oh you are so high, above the sky
Everytime I travel far
I think about you by my side
To any of those I cannot go by

I hate you but I love you
I just can’t take how beautiful you are
I hate to say this
But my eyes go blind

Russian Red - I Hate You But I Love You

“Here’s what I miss, Jacob. I miss the fact that I won’t get to ever hear his voice again. And that I can’t talk to him anymore.”

This wasn’t really true. We had Grandpa’s voice immortalized on old family videos that I sometimes liked to watch when I couldn’t sleep at night. And it wasn’t that she couldn’t talk to him that was hard for her to accept; it was that he could no longer talk back.

My mother had sighed. “You’ll get it, one day. I hope.”

I would like to be able to tell her that, yes, now I get it. When someone dies, it feels like the hole in your gum when a tooth falls out. You can chew, you can eat, you have plenty of other teeth, but your tongue keeps going back to that empty place, where all the nerves are still a little raw.

Dialog Diri

Selamat siang, aku mengerti kesedihan yang tengah kau rasakan. Aku pernah merayakan kebahagiaan yang sedang kau rasakan. Aku pernah merasakan kebimbangan dan kegelisahan seperti yang saat ini sedang kauhadapi. Sepertimu, aku juga muak pada rutinitas yang menindas, kebohongan, pengkhianatan, atau kepura-puraan yang mengatakan ‘segalanya baik-baik saja’ saat segalanya tak sedang baik-baik saja. Dan kita sama-sama menyukai kebebasan, angin lembut sore hari yang menerpa wajah kita yang lembab, atau suara tawa masa kecil kita yang selalu bebas dan berbahagia. Sebab aku adalah kamu, dalam hidup dan kenyataan yang berbeda.

Aku mohon maaf jika tulisan ini akan menahanmu beberapa saat. Aku ingin bertamu ke hatimu, duduk bersama dan memulai sebuah percakapan kecil yang barangkali tak biasa. Tentu saja ada beberapa orang yang tidak menyukai percakapan ini, kebersamaan dan keakraban kita, tetapi kita tak perlu terus-menerus peduli pada perasaan dan pikiran orang lain, kan? Maka aku akan tetap duduk di sampingmu untuk mengatakan sesuatu yang sebenarnya sudah sejak lama ingin kusampaikan.

Aku tidak datang untuk mengatakan bahwa semuanya baik-baik saja, tetapi untuk memintamu sejenak mengabaikan hal-hal yang belakangan ini barangkali membuat pikiranmu jadi berat. Berhentilah berpikir bahwa segalanya mesti berjalan baik-baik saja, dan sempurna, dan tanpa kesalahan: Sebab kita memang diberi ruang dan kesempatan untuk membuat segalanya tidak baik-baik saja, kan? Dan bersyukurlah jika segalanya berjalan tidak sebagaimana mestinya, sebab itu artinya kita diberi kesempatan lain untuk memperbaikinya.

Jika semuanya berjalan baik-baik saja. Beristirahatlah sejenak, lihatlah sampai segala urusan kembali pada takdir-utamanya untuk menjadi berantakan. Jika saat itu tiba, kembalilah bekerja. Kita semua diciptakan untuk menyelesaikan persoalan. Maka lakukan. Kapanpun kau merasa tak punya masalah, kau akan menemukannya. Kapanpun kau merasa bahwa kau bisa hidup dengan masalah, kau akan jadi manusia bahagia yang selalu bisa menyelesaikannya.

Nikmatilah semuanya. Sambutlah bayi-bayi yang dilahirkan. Peganglah tangan orang yang kamu sayangi. Relakan kepergian orang yang kamu cintai. Jatuhlah pada cinta dan bagunlah sebagai manusia yang berjalan di atas keyakinannya sendiri. Berlututlah pada keagungan. Bentangkanlah sayap saat seseorang menjatuhkanmu dari ketinggian - terbanglah seperti burung mencintai angin. Berjalanlah seperti seorang ayah yang menuntun lengan putrinya. Berbahagialah seperti anak-anak. Waspadalah seperti pertama kali belajar berjalan. Dengarkanlah nyanyian angin. Jadilah air hujan yang membawa kehidupan baru bagi tanah-tanah yang kering, Jadilah matahari yang berani terbit dan siap untuk tenggelam. Jadilah seseorang yang membuat dunia jadi berbeda. Jadilah dirimu sendiri: Kita bukan apa-apa, dan bukan siapa-siapa, sampai kita mewakili pikiran dan perasaan kita sendiri.

Sampai di sini, kau tak lagi melihatku duduk di sampingmu, di ruang hatimu: Aku telah menghilang dalam kata-kata. Tak memiliki nama. Tak memiliki suara. Kini hanya dirimu, hanya dirimu… Hanya dirimu yang bisa mengubah hidupmu sendiri.

Aku selalu mendoakanmu: Semoga kau selalu berbahagia dan dilingkupi keberkahan!
