FUtsAL 'n Me

Kalo misalnya v ditanya "kamu seneng nonton bola ga?" v dengan mantab akan menjawab "ga!" Terus kalo misalnya v ditanyain lagi "ga senang bola, pasti ga senang futsal dong..." v juga dengan mantab akan menjawab "kalo futsal mah lain cerita..."

V punya banyak kenangan dari salah satu cabang olah raga yang namanya futsal. Secara cowo yang dulu v cinta banget seneng banget dengan yang namanya futsal. Sebenarnya sih basic olahraganya bola kaki, sampe ikutan klub segala, cuma ya itu Mike ga pernah bisa nolak kalo diajakin main bola, apapun jenis permainannya mesti dijabanin, kecuali main bola api he...

Satu kali, temen2 co v di PPA YKPN ngajakin Mike maen futsal. Mike yang orangnya pemalu dengan teman2 di kelas ngajakin v buat nemenin, aduuh v males banget, udah kebayang aja suasana yang membosankan ngeliatin bola digiring, direbut dari satu sisi ke sisi yang lain. Tapi karena si Mike keukeuh banget minta temenin, akhirnya v datang juga ke kampus.

Setelah futsal yang pertama, mulai d futsal jadi permainan rutin temen2 sekelas. Lawan tandingnya anak2 Pasca sarjana di kampus v n anak2 PPA angkatan lain. Seru, nambah teman n nambah kerjaan. Soalnya setelah maen futsal yang pertama itu v secara tidak resmi (kali..) di daulat jadi ibu manajer, ngurusin minuman, nemenin Mike n temen2 walopun cuma ngeliat doang.. even waktu Mike ga ada, tetep aja v disuruh dateng hehehe



Ini pertandingan futsal terakhir teman2 v sebelum wisudaan, PPA Angkatan 9 vs Anak2 futsan Universitas Islam Sultan Agung. Dari kiri ke kanan yang berdiri: Lutfi, temennya wawan (v ga kenal), veni, wawan, rahim, edy, n aries. yang duduk anak2 dari UNISULA, miss u guys......

Hands to Heaven by Breathe

Gara2 tulisan v sebelumnya ngomongin lagu, v penasaran banget dengan Hands to Heaven yang dinyanyikan oleh Breathe, nyari-nyari di Youtube ternyata dapet. Enjoy....

Hands to Heaven by Breathe

As I watch you move, across the moonlit room
There's so much tenderness in your loving
Tomorrow I must leave, the dawn knows no reprieve
God give me strength when I am leaving...

So raise your hands to heaven and pray
That we'll be back together someday

Tonight, I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight, you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness

As we move to embrace, tears run down your face
I whisper words of love, so softly
I can't believe this pain, it's driving me insane
Without your touch, life will be lonely

So raise your hands to heaven and pray
That we'll be back together someday

Tonight, I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight, you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness

Morning has come, another day
I must pack my bags and say goodbye
Goodbye

LaGU apA ya??

Lagi bikin handout untuk pelajaran bahasa Inggris bagi karyawan di tempat v bekerja. Semuanya minta besok v harus ngajarin satu lagu dalam berbahasa Inggris. Ada yang request lagunya Rihanna "Umbrella", secara lagu Umbrella itu agak susah dinyanyikan, temponya rada cepat. Ada pula teman v yang minta lagunya Christian Bautista "The way You Look at Me", nah kalo lagu ini malah v yang protes, karena menurut v lagu ini cengeng banget, ga semangat ntar ngajarin teman2 hehehe Satu-satunya lagu Bautista yang v suka sampe saat ini cuma "Hands to Heaven," lagu yang dulunya dinyanyiin oleh Breathe. V inget banget dulu lagu Hands to Heaven by Breathe ini termasuk lagu berbahasa Inggris pertama yang v ngerti artinya.

Balik lagi ke lagu, akhirnya pilihan lagu yang menurut v mudah diikuti ama teman2 yang belajar bahasa Inggris adalah Wonderful World yang dinyanyiin Louis Amstrong. Ga tau d apa jadinya besok, mudah-mudahan aja gampang diikuti ama teman2ku. Semoga...

Barbra Streisand - The Way We Were (1975)

V belajar main piano gara-gara kepincut ama lagu ini lho...

Memories,
Like the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? could we?

Memories, may be beautiful and yet
Whats too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So its the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
The way we were...

thE WAy we wERe 2

Mengulik-ulik foto v beberapa tahun yang lalu, mata v tertumbuk pada satu foto yang punya kenangan yang menurut v sangat-sangat berharga.



Foto ini mengisahkan persahabatan antara v dengan farah, persahabatan yang sampai sekarang ini v tidak mengerti, apakah masih tetap ada atau apakah semuanya tinggal masa lalu yang sebaiknya v lupakan.

V dan Farah bertemu pada saat v masih ngekost di Pogung Kidul. Awalnya, v dan farah tidak pernah bertegur sapa, karena farah orangnya cuek, v juga. Farah kamarnya di lantai dua yang ramai, sementara v di lantai tiga yang sepi. Farah kuliah di Arsitektur UGM'02. Suatu kali, v pulang jam 4 pagi, abis ngedugem ama teman2, mindik-mindik biar ga ketahuan ama anak2 kost karena v orangnya jaim banget, eh tiba2 kamar farah terbuka, dan dia keluar dari kamar sambil teriak "hayooooo kk dari mana? kk ngedugem ya?" v yang kaget, pias n ketawa ngakak, karena ga nyangka bakal diteriakin kaya gitu.

Semenjak itu, v dan fay mulai bersahabat, kemana2 bareng, sampai-sampai saat fay bertanding taekwondo pun v ikut menemaninya, hubungan fay yang baik dengan kedua orang tua v plus fisiknya yang mirip bayu, menyebabkan fay sudah dianggap sebagai anak kedua oleh papa n mama v-dengan bayu tetap sebagai si bungsu. Tetapi, fay termasuk anak yang sensitif, hingga seringkali v harus hati2 kalo ngomong ama dia, diluar itu semua fay adalah orang yang sangat peduli dengan teman2nya.

Satu hari, v dan fay sepakat membeli seekor anak anjing, jenis pitbull, yang kemudian kami beri nama Becky. Karena kami masih ngekost, jadi untuk tidak mengganggu anak kost yang lain, v dan fay akhir ngontrak di sebuah rumah, bersama bayu n sahabat2nya.





Dalam waktu yang hampir bersamaan, v yang baru beberapa bulan kuliah di MM sedang sibuk banget dengan berbagai macam peer dan tugas presentasi. Tanggal 19 April 2005-hari ulang tahun v-v baru pulang dari kampus, dengan kondisi badan yang hampir remuk, kurang istirahat. Farah sedang mengerjakan gambar, dan dalam kondisi sakit. V udah punya rencana merayakan ulang tahun bersama bayu, fay, n anak2 lainnya, tapi karena acaranya malam hari, jadi v bisa manfaatin waktu yang sedikit itu untuk tidur sebentar. Ternyata fay marah, merasa tidak diperhatikan, padahal sedang sakit. Fay beranggapan bahwa v ga mau nganterin dia ke dokter. V yang ga ngerti situasi, pada saat bangun tidur, dengan cueknya ngajakin fay ikut makan bareng untuk ngerayain ultah v. Fay menolak, dan semenjak itu hubungan v dan fay memburuk. Ditambah lagi campur tangan teman fay-amel-membuat hubungan v dan fay, bayu dan fay, menjadi buruk. V dan fay jadi tidak pernah bertegur sapa, situasi rumah menjadi tidak nyaman. V, fay, bayu, n teman2 bayu hanya bisa bertahan dengan kondisi tersebut selama satu tahun. Kemudian fay pindah, teman2 bayu pindah, sementara v n bayu tetap bertahan dirumah tersebut.

Selama setahun itu, v berusaha memperbaiki hubungan persahabatan v yang rusak. Orang tua fay, orang tua v pun menasihati kami, tapi semuanya tidak mendatangkan hasil. Nilai v jeblok karena kondisi rumah yang tidak nyaman. Mungkin juga hal ini berpengaruh dengan fay, tapi v ga tau, i've no idea.

Seorang dosen psikolog, pernah mengomentari, v diibaratkan sebagai sebuah jendela yang terbuka lebar. Apapun yang v rasakan dengan cepat bisa dibaca dari ekspresi v. Mungkin benar v adalah jendela yang terbuka lebar, tapi ada satu celah kecil di hati v yang akan tetap tertutup karena v tidak mau lagi mengalami hal yang menyedihkan seperti yang telah v alami sebelumnya, lebih baik v tidak terlalu akrab dengan orang lain, agar tidak mengalami sedihnya kehilangan seorang sahabat lagi. Enough!

SUddeNLy i Miss hIM


No Air - Jordin Sparks ft Chris Brown

If I should die before I wake
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world with no air
Ohh

[Chris Brown]
I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
wish there was a way that I can make you understand

[Jordin Sparks]
But how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

[Chorus:][Both]
Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
That´s how I feel whenever you ain't there
that's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
there's no air, no air

No air, air[ohhh]
No air, air[nooo]
No air, air[oh a]
No air, air

[Chris Brown]
I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
Right off the ground to float to you
There's no gravity to hold me down for real

[Jordin Sparks]
But somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath, but I survived
I don't know how, but I don't even care

[Both]
So how do you expect me
to live alone with just me
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
there's how I feel whenever you ain't there
there's no air, no air
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
there's no air, no air

No air, air[oohhh]
No air, air[oohhh]
No air, air[nooo]
No air, air[No more]
It's no air, no air

ohhhhh baby
ooohhhhh It's no air, no air
Hey [ohh] no aiiiiir [ohhh]
ooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhh

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
no breathing[no breathing]
Got me out here in the water so deep
Tell me how you gonna be without me
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
It's no air, no air

Tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
It's how I feel whenever you ain't there
it's no air no air
Got me out here in the water so deep

Tell me how you gonna be without me

If you ain't here, I just can't breathe

It's no air, no air
No air, air[ohhh]
No air, air
No air, air
No air, air
