Beautiful Day


I don't know that I'll enjoy writing lyric so much. This is the 2nd lyric that appears in my mind, only few hours after I wrote down the first one. I can't believe it! By the way, I can imagine my self singing this song to my 4 years old kid in the future hahahahaha...

Beautiful Day

Na na na na na
Na na na na na

The sun is smiling
Trees are giggling
And birds are laughing

But why are you crying
I wonder what hurts your feeling
But..

Baby come on
It’s a beautiful day
So don’t bother to cry
Just forget it and play

When Momma said it’s okay
Then you will be okay
Just trust me, let’s play

It’s a beautiful day
So don’t bother to cry
Just forget it and play
Cause it’s a beautiful day!

Na na na na na
Na na na na na

Independent Girl

I wish that I can write a song, but unfortunately I can't play any music instruments so I just go with the lyric :p
And this is my fisrt song lyric called Independent Girl:


I knew that one day you will go 
But I never expected to be this sudden, you know
We drove fast to catch your fligth
There’s no time to fight

No farewell, no tears
Just some words you whisper to my ear
Then I went back to my car
Finally realized that you were gone
And I’m all alone

Oooh I used to be independent
But your existence makes me dependence
Now I have to start all over again
When I was getting used to get help from my man

But that’s all right,
I can do it again, yeah I can start all over again 

Sometimes things get harder
And I feel like I need your shoulder
But I won’t let this feeling bothers
I just wish that time would run faster

Oooh I used to be independent
But your existence makes me dependence
Now I have to start all over again
When I was getting used to get help from my man

But that’s all right,
I can do it again, yeah I can start all over again 
I can be an independent girl one more time

I Won't Give Up!!!!!

Good Morning..

Just a quick update before I have to go to work, I realize that it's actually soooo hard to post something everyday in this blog. I've failed to keep my resolution this far and it's disappointing. I always feel so tired to write after I got home from work, all I wanna do is just go to bed.

So I guess I have to change my strategy. Maybe I have to drag my self to wake up earlier and write something in the morning, just like now.

Hopefully this strategy can help me to keep up with my resolution.

Wish me luck and have a good day :)

Ayo Belajar Bahasa Inggris Lagi!



Bagi sebagian orang, mungkin pelajaran bahasa Inggris berhenti di kelas 3 SMA. Apalagi kalau kuliahnya bukan jurusan sastra inggris, seperti saya.

Setelah lulus SMA saya sempet absen belajar bahasa inggris selama beberapa tahun. Ya udah bahasa inggrisnya sekedarnya aja, yang penting bisa nyanyiin lagu-lagu barat favorit, bisa nonton film hollywood sama kalau ada bule nanya alamat bisa jawab pake bahasa Englan (Englis-Tarzan), saya sudah cukup puas.

Tapi semuanya berubah saat negara api menyerang  saya mulai masuk ke dunia kerja. Saya (Alhamdulillah ya Allah) bisa langsung keterima di sebuah ahensi multinasional. Namanya juga multi, di sini bahasa inggrisnya kepake banget, temen kerja - client - director yang dipake seringkali bukan orang Indonesia.

Awal-awal kerja kalau di ruang meeting suka bengong. Ini pada ngomong apaan sih? Kok ga kaya di film-film ya, ngomongnya pada cepet-cepet dan ga jelas gitu.

Tiap malem saya sampai bersihin kuping pake cotton-bud biar ga budeg gitu maksudnya. Sampai akhirnya nyadar bahwasanya yang salah sebenernya bukan si kotoran telinga.

Setelah sadar bahwa saya harus mulai mengasah dan mempertajam lagi kemampuan berbahasa inggris, saya jadi (lumayan) rajin belajar bahasa inggris. Mulai dari sering dengerin lagu top 40, nonton serial tanpa subtitle, sampe beli novel-novel berbahasa inggris. Alhamdulillah makin lama makin kerasa manfaatnya (kaya testimoni pengobatan alternatif aja nih).

Teruuus, kemaren pas lagi browsing tentang idioms, tiba-tiba masuk ke sebuah web yang menurut saya helpful banget buat yang mau belajar bahasa inggris tapi males keluar duit buat bayar les macem saya ni lah. Setiap hari ada satu pelajaran yang berbeda, lengkap dengan mini quiz, mengingatkan saya pada LKS jaman sekolah dulu ;)

Karena menarik dan termakan iming-iming "easy english"- nya saya pun segera bikin account di web itu dan mulai ikutan belajar. Ini dia pelajaran hari kedua saya:

Bagian explanationnya, gampang dimengerti





Bagian quiz-nya, tinggal click jawabannya aja


Setelah 'check answer". Yeay bener smuaaah :D





Pretty easy huh? Oiya, pelajaran yang pernah kita kerjain juga bisa di mark as complete task. Pelajarannya juga cukup komplit, mulai dari vocab, grammar, reading sampai listening. Kalau tertarik ikutan juga, langsung aja buka www.ecenglish.com/learnenglish.

Selamat belajar :)

Have You Heard About Brooklyn Nine-Nine?

I was disappointed in myself for being lazy to wrote something on this blog yesterday. I mean, I came home early – much earlier than usual because I got home before sunset (anyway that’s a luxury if you work at advertising agency)- but instead of started writing on my laptop, I lied on the couch and watched The 71st Golden Globe Awards. *sigh*

Speaking about the show, there was a comedy series that won many categories on that night, the title is Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I just google the series and found that the story is about an immature detective and his relationship with his strict new captain. I think, maybe it could be my choice of tv series after got tired of following How I Met Your Mother and became bored of CSI. And guess what? It will be aired on Diva starting 9 February (if I’m not mistaken the date).

Oh and the "Old Spice" guy is one of the cast, so can you imagine how funny the series is?

Well, time to shop for popcorn stock!

A Writer That Doesn't Lazy to Write

It feels like it’s been forever since the last time I updated this blog. I admit, I'm too lazy to write. Funny, I'm a copywriter – I make a living from writing, but I'm too lazy to write anything but work related scripts or headlines or bodycopy (those I sometimes feel lazy to do, but I have to).

So in the name of new year spirit, I want to make a resolution to write anything on this blog every day. I’ll try to write mostly in English because on my annual review at work, my supervisor told me to write in English more frequently to improve my writing skill. So, I’m sorry if the grammar isn’t perfect, I'm still working on it :)

Getting back on topic, so here's my resolutions in 2014:
“Be a writer that doesn’t lazy to write by write anything on this blog every day.”


And this resolution begins tomorrow today.

Cinta untuk Anak Hujan

Pagi ini adalah puncak kemurkaan orang-orang padaku. Semuanya menghujat habis-habisan, mengutuk. Ada yang memakiku, ada yang bilang aku brengsek, tapi ada juga yang memohon kepada Tuhannya agar menghentikanku.

Mereka membenciku dan ingin mengusirku.

Orang-orang kota bilang aku membuat mereka sengsara, terjebak di jalanan. Aku membuat sebagian dari mereka kehilangan papan. Orang desa bilang aku membuat mereka rugi. Tanaman busuk semua tak bisa dipanen lagi.

Mereka membenciku tapi tak bisa menghentikanku.

Karena aku adalah seorang ibu.

Aku akan melakukan segalanya untuk anak-anakku. Aku tak peduli orang benci, aku tak peduli orang memohon aku tuk berhenti. Aku harus tetap ada untuk anak-anakku. Karena tanpaku, payung-payung mereka akan teronggok. Perut-perut mereka tak akan terisi. Dan baju mereka tak akan pernah diganti.


Semua membenciku, tapi itu tak akan mengalahkan cintaku untuk anak-anakku.

Aku akan terus ada, biar mereka bisa menari sambil mengais rejeki di bawah belaianku.
