"Caderita" Lyrics (A song by Cely Vasquez)

Caderita

Ella solita se mueve se mueve 
te tiene loco loco y todos no tan como 
su caderita
Se mueve y te envuelve
Ay mira como ya te tienen embrujado 

Todo el día
Todas las noches 
no hay mucho que hablar 
y a todos la conocen 
ella vive su vida sin importar lo que digan
Su palita cortita eso no la limita 

si le pone reggaeton ella te pide chachachá 
si no tienes pa' quedarte ya te dice nanana 
no la compras con dinero no le gusta bla bla bla
Y si te le pega mucho dice
Papi chapa ya 

Ella solita se mueve se mueve 
te tiene loco loco y todos no tan como 
su caderita
Se mueve y te envuelve
Ay mira como ya te tienen embrujado 


Baby don't touch what you can't buy
Those hips don't lie


si le pone reggaeton ella te pide chachachá 
si no tienes pa' quedarte ya te dice nanana 
no la compras con dinero no le gusta bla bla bla
Y si te le pega mucho dice
Papi chapa ya 

Ella solita se mueve se mueve 
te tiene loco loco y todos no tan como 
su caderita
Se mueve y te envuelve
Ay mira como ya te tienen embrujado 


(.....) Diferente donde pisa se prende el ambiente 

Ella solita se mueve se mueve 
te tiene loco loco y todos no tan como 
su caderita se mueve y te muerde
Ay mira como ya te tiene embrujado

Como ella se mueve se mueve sube y baja pero no es pa' ti

Como ella se mueve se mueve sube y baja pero no es pa' ti

"Free Woman": Lagu self-empowerment dari album Lady Gaga "Chromatica"

Banyak hal mengejutkan di album Chromatica yang dirilis pertengahan tahun 2020. Lady Gaga menyuguhkan beat yang mengingatkan dengan nuansa disko tahun 80-90an. Dengan sentuhan Eurodance di track-nya, Chromatica menjadi satu paket penyemangat di tengah pandemi Covid-19. Namun, yang juga menarik perhatian adalah lirik lagu-lagu di album Chromatica yang penuh dengan pesan penyemangat, kesetaraan gender dan pastinya selebrasi. Salah satunya adalah lagu yang berjudul Free Woman.

Track kelima dari Chromatica ini memiliki lirik yang menekankan kebebasan akan beban berat dan rasa percaya diri. Menurut Lady Gaga lagu ini berkisah tentang perjalanannya melewati masa sulit ketika mengalami pelecehan seksual. Ia menyatakan

"Saya mengalami pelecehan seksual oleh seorang produser musik. (Kejadian) itu memperburuk pendapat saya tentang kehidupan, pendapat tentang dunia, pendapat tentang industri (musik), apa yang saya miliki untuk berdamai dan melewati ini semua sampai pada titik saya berada sekarang. Saya harus menerimanya. Dan ketika saya akhirnya bisa merayakannya, saya berkata, "Tahu nggak sih? Saya tidak akan bilang kalau saya itu penyintas atau seorang korban kekerasan seksual. Saya hanya seorang yang bebas yang telah melewati kejadian-kejadian yang sangat buruk."

Baris pertama

"I walk the downtown, hear my sound"

Memiliki arti saat dia melewati masa-masa tidak mudah. Dan hanya dia yang tahu. Dia mencoba memahami dirinya. 


Bagian yang paling saya suka adalah di chorus:

"I'm not nothing without a steady hand
I'm not nothing unless I know I care
I'm still something if I don't got a man
I'm a free woman"

Apapun yang terjadi (dengan diri), rasa yakin dan self-esteem lah yang akan menguatkan diri kita sendiri. Apalagi pada bagian "If I don't get a man" yang menyiratkan untuk tidak bergantung pada bersama dengan seseorang, bahwa hubungan itu tidak semata-mata sebagai kekasih yang bisa membuat kita hampa tanpanya. 

Yang saya suka selanjutnya adalah saat ia menyanyikan bagian

"This is the dancefloor I fought for
Ain't hard, that's what I'm living for"

Yang menurut saya bukti integritas Lady Gaga dan dedikasinya kepada musik dan cita-cita (hal-hal besar) yang ingin ia wujudkan melalui musik. Apapun yang telah terjadi yang menimpanya selama berkarir. Ini berlanjut pada bagian

"We own the downtown, hear our sound"

Dukungan dan solidaritas yang akhirnya bisa saling menguatkan. Lagu ini meskipun berjudul Free Woman tapi maksud lagu ini universal dan pastinya lintas gender. Dengan beat club era 90an, pesan positif lagu ini dapat tersampaikan dengan nuansa selebrasi. Penekanan I'm a free woman dan repetitif di bagian akhir lagu seakan berkata "bangga telah dapat melewatinya."

My "Songs of 2016"

I wanted to recap this like..a couple of weeks ago but I had things to get done and motorbike crash recently so…here I am! Anyway, here are songs that came along with me all the way this year.











Drag Me Down – One Direction

It’s like a guilty pleasure for me to listen to this song. Not to mention that I did not even download it whatever. I spent my little time of 2016 in a city of Jogjakarta, a mini sultanate kingdom in central Java. I was there for travelling, and yeah, finally looking for a job and planned to settle there, but it didn’t work pretty well. Almost every day I listed to this song, in minimarket, in shopping malls, on the bus, taxis, and yeah, nobody can drag this song down. What the hell. 

Stand by You – Rachel Platten
This one came along my days in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan. I was there for three and a half months, working, travelling sometimes and yup, spending my time with my mother and father. It was soo good to be back there again one day!

Nos Vies Paralleles – Anggun feat. Florent Pagny
What I love most is the music sounds so summer.  I do not even know the meaning (only some of the words and the Spanish part) as it is  a French song, But Anggun and Florent Pagny did a very good job.

We Don’t Talk Anymore – Charlie Puth feat. Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez is the guilty pleasure of 2016. Her soft and sexy voice is inviting. I love this collaboration and I couldn’t stop singing it.

Joanne (Album) – Lady Gaga 
Joanne is the most personal Lady Gaga’s album so far and yup, the best one. I do love this album and every song in it. Starting with the release of “Perfect Illusion” which was a warm up, then A Million Reasons which was deep and moving, this album is epic. What I love most is that Gaga sounds rock here, and every song has a meaning, like Hey Girl, Joanne, Angel Down, John Wayne, etc. This album won’t be apart with my daily anytime soon. Love this.


So, here are my songs of 2016. What are yours? Anyway, Happy New Year 2017!!!

Grammy 2015: Winners Prediction

During this year's Awards Season it seems like we almost every week read and listen to the news talking about the Grand Budapest Hotel, Michael Keaton, Benedict I-don't-know-his-last-name-but-I-watched-him-in-Star Trek, and many more. But, this time let's skip them all for a while as we're about to see the annual Grammy Awards, aaaaaand...it's not like in the previous Grammy as this year there are new comers on the nods. So, let's see who's going home with Grammy in hand? Check this one out! Here'a my prediction!

Best New Artist
Winner prediction: Sam Smith
 












British guys are sexy. What a sh*t! The hits such as Stay With Me is intense, and Sam Smith is having a blue & dark soul when he's delivering the melody, and it's ....delivered. Last year, there was Ed Sheeran in this category, unfortunately he didn't make it. And it's pretty convincing this guy can make it for this year.


Song Of The Year


Winnerr prediction: Chandelier by Sia & Jesse Shatkin
The other four just makes this category difficult to predict. There is T-Swift's Shake It Off (I don't know but it keeps telling me she wins this category. Omigod), Sam Smith's Stay With Me, the "Bass" one by Megan Trainor, and Hozier's Take Me to Church. Why my prediction fall on this song is because Sia successfully invade our subconscious and this song is....hypnotizing. How this track dominates the mid-year's chart and everybody sings it without making it tacky or even...trash (like when it happened to Katy Perry's Roar. Forget about it).



Album Of The Year
Winner Prediction: X by Ed Sheeran


The pink-face-that-looks-like-a-Hobbit-sometimes musician's album is eclectic.  This album offers a dynamic story of Sheeran, from nuance, lyrics, his vocals, the beat, it all takes us to the varied moments in the past to remember. And, if I'm not mistaken he got also one nomination for his I See Fire. I bet he wins this nod as well.


Record Of The Year
Winner Prediction: 
It's very difficult but my prediction and expectation goes to Sia's Chandelier. That's all.



---Additional--- Best Pop Vocal Album

Why I put this one also? Just take a look. There is (okay lah) Coldplay's Ghost Stories, In The Lonely Hour, X. But hey, there is Bangerz (WOOW), and Prism, and Ariana Grande's latest album. If Bangerz wins it proves the twerking is not dead yet, and the tongue is not hygiene yet. If Prism wins, it will be a very very moment for Katy Perry. I mean, after dozens of nominations and she slipped it all away every year. "What a d*ck!" I'm sure she shouted the words every year after the Grammy. Lol.

It's only prediction, anyway. So, let's see who win on February 8 next week.








Share:

And the Grammy goes to...


It's only prediction of the 5 biggest nods of the biggest moment in the music industry.

1. Brave by Sara Bareilles for Best Pop Solo Performance.
I'm pretty sure she will grab the trophy. There is Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, Katy Perry and Lorde. 
What makes it interesting is that Katy's Roar is just so similar as Sara's Brave. I'm not sure about Katy as the track record shows she's been nominated for many many times and it seems like it's enough to her. About the rest? Well, Lorde is exceptional. her album is overall critically positive so it is likely to her to win in this category.











2. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis for Best New Artist.
They are one of the biggest artist of 2013, just right after Miley Cyrus (but in a different sense, of course). "Same Love" is huge! The other nominees? Well, only one person I have no idea: Kendrick Lamar. All I know about Lamar is the one hooking up with the Kardashians. LOL.
3. Locked Out Of Heaven for Song of The Year. 
This is the most exciting category of all! Locked Out Of Heaven is another best song by Bruno Mars since Grenade in 2010. What a long time to wait! Royals, Roar, and Pink's Just Give Me A Reason is a bunch of great songs. But, I'm not really sure, AGAIN, about Katy Perry's Roar. Same Love is powerful hit and I will not be surprised if it takes the Grammy.

4. The Heist for Album of The Year
 Personally, I prefer Daft Punk's Random Access Memories. I mean, those crazy helmet aliens spread the new viral funkiness. Their music's just sick! Swift's Red? Mmm....maybe but I think Swift's music are up and down. I mean, sometimes it sounds so intense and mature but most time sounds more teenager and more teenager. Okay, T-swifts, just give the other people a shot for Grammy. No monopoly. What about Kendrick Lamar? Again, I have NO idea. Kim, could you give us any clue? (He's not a baller, please!!! LOL)
5. Locked Out Of Heaven for Record of The Year. 
This is the ultimate category anybody won't miss. Blurred Lines reigned the summer charts. Get Lucky is aired everyday until now. Radioactive led the band to the fame! What a breakthrough! And Royals, may the Lorde be with you, Grammy (She's highly likely to win this category!!!)

Celebrity Who's OUT and You Know What, They're Off the Hook!

It must be surprising when a celebrity, with the fame in hand, declares that they're coming out. Fortunately we're no more living in Medieval Age, and for some who's still living so, our prayers for the enlightenment for you. Anyway, here is 5 Hottest Celebrities who's coming out. NO H8!

1. Ricky Martin

The Livin La Vida Loca singer is publicly stating his sexuality in 2010. Who knew that the latino hunks had broken girls all over the world? He has 2 boys from surrogate mother and just called off his relationship with his long run stock broker boyfriend Carlos Gonzalez. Hope he'll find his Mr. Right anytime soon.

2. Jonathan Bennett
Maybe he's not quite familiar for some people. The Lilo's co-star in Mean Girls (several thousand year ago movie) apparently is in relationship with another not-really-famous actor Matt Dallas. I do not even know when he's no more closeted anyway. He's still gorgeous. 



3. Cynthia Nixon
In television, we see Miranda is a settle down woman who's facing more complicated problem as there are kids to take care of. We see her as a lenient and tender mom. But, who knows that the actress and activist has a wife already? Step aside, men!

4. Zachary Quinto

He's maybe the hottest inter-galaxy man ever. The Star Trek's Spock came out of the closet in 2011 and once was in relationship with actor (I do not know his name. Just google it you'll find out, trust me!) then split. Sad!



5. Matt Bomer
Save the best for the last! Yes, my last hottest celebrity is Matt Bomer. When he appeared in Glee as Kurt's boyfriend's brother (who's Kurt's boyfriend's name, actually, for God's shake?!) I never thought that he loves b***. The White Collar leading actor spoke up in 2012 and now he's in relationship with his publicist. 


They're fabulous people, they're doing their job very well, and they're just doing the right thing for their life. Livin la vida, todos! Cheers!!!

6 Gaga's Hottest Hits!

The 2013 Video Music Awards had just passed, but all the moments then stroke the world until today. How Miley's Twerking performance became a HUGE sensation that Oxford finally added the "twerk" into its latest. And, most importantly, the stars were just coming back, set to hit the stage! From Justin Timberlake and N'Sync reunion to the one-and-only lovely Mother Monster Lady Gaga.

Well, here I wanna take a flash recap of the 6 Gaga's hottest hits ever since her 2008 rise & shine until her latest's Applause previously performed in 2013 VMAs. Little Monsters, paws up!

6. Telephone (featuring Beyonce Knowles)

This is the most successful collaboration hit single EVER. This song led Gaga grab Moon-man in 2010, and it's not surprising then, I mean, with her 13 nods in Video Music Awards and the whole world apparently went Gaga! The epic long music video is just SICK!

5. You & I
This song is taken from Born This Way Album (2011). This song is about her love-life with her Nebraska guy.  The song is quite nice, with the Western-twist and the crazy Gaga's collision. iAnd the most striking of all is she appeared in the video as two different characters which (seemed like and it was confirmed) were her"self" and Joe Calderon, her "alter-ego." Just take a look at the pic. Who knows that the smoking macho man is Stefani Germanotta?

4. Just Dance
The song is the starting point Gaga hit the stage of pop culture. It was released in 2008 and became world-wide hit! This song was nominated for Best Dance Recording in 2009 Grammy Awards and all around the world people stated being Little Monsters.

3. Poker Face
This song won Grammy for Best Dance Recording in 2010. The video offers the viewers hunks! Full of hunks! Seriously! With her iconic outfit and poses and choreography and dance and the beat and stuffs! You gotta love the song and the video, like a lot! This song also gave Gaga Moonman as the Best New Artist in 2009 VMA. Overall, this is a GOOD JOB!


2. Born This Way
Born this way is the warming-up hits taken from Born This Way Album. Release on February 2011, this song debut reached #1 in Billboard Hot 100 for the consecutive 6 weeks! This song won 2011 VMAs for Best Music Video With Message and Best Female Video. personally, I love this song so much as it was soooooo me. It was all about me! :)

1. Bad Romance
This song was like a sign of the climax of Gaga's domination. This took 2 Grammys in 2011 and led her to the historic 13 nominations in 2010 Video Music Awards. The music video's just futuristic! And classy! This proved how musicality with genius can result such a massive successful hits and positive influence to express freely without any judgement.

Carly's Take A Picture: Another Summer Hits!


Who doesn't recognize Carly Rae Jepsen? The young comical hipster-style Canadian singer that hit and flooded last summer nuance with her hit-wonder's "Call Me Maybe". Now, she's back with another mid-80's beat's "Take A Picture". This song reminds me of Madonna's 80s' and there is Butch Walker's "Open Happiness" intro inserted that reminds us of The Coca Cola commercial as well. The melody is ear-catching, a little bit after-night-twist-beat, and definitely, SOOO SUMMER!!!!

The lyrics are easy to remember. You can move along the beat. Just take a look at the lyrics below and listen to the song. I do not think I need to breakdown the song lyrically, paraphrase it like a literature study. Just check this one out and seize the summer time!!!

 
"Take A Picture"

Flying kites
With boy wonder
Hold tight
To me all summer

Reading my magazines
Dancing in my blue jeans

Pucker up in sunglasses
Making love to the flashes
Posing the way that we do for everybody to see
Polaroid through your lashes
Only thing that will last is
I take a picture of you taking a picture of me

I take a picture of you taking a picture of me
I take a picture of you taking a picture of me
Tomorrow always happens too soon
I wish I had an electric moon
To save the light

Fireworks
And night streamers
Baby blue
With the day dreamers

Under water
Close to me
Hold my breath
In my blue jeans

Pucker up in sunglasses
Making love to the flashes
Posing the way that we do for everybody to see
Polaroid through your lashes
Only thing that will last is
I take a picture of you taking a picture of me.

Songs Of the Year 2012


Songs of the Year: 2012 The Chronicle (Part 2)

I love You by Avril Lavigne
Well, lagu ini mengingatkanku pada apa yang aku alami di Q3 tahun 2012: I’m in love with my friend. Untuk kesekian kalinya, aku jatuh cinta. D.mn! Cinta itu addictive ya ternyata. Demi Tuhan! Sialan! Well, mungkin ulasan lengkapnya bias dilihat di arsip blog ini yang berjudul  When Friendship Trapped in Love….kalo nggak salah. Silahkan cari sendiri deh. Well, jadi sangat sangat complicated proses yang harus aku lalui. Dan tidak mudah. Berat. Pertama aku mulai merasa ada yang mengganjal dalam diriku. Aku kepikiran dia terus dan bingung dengan apa yang sedang aku alami. It was axciting. Kepikiran dia terus tuh kayak orang lagi nge-fly mungkin ya (setidaknya yang aku dengar fly itu lumayan menyenangkan dan menenangkan dan membahagiakan, katanya). Aku mulai memenuhi kepalaku dengan hal-hal tentang dia. Atau mungkin dia yang memenuhi pikiranku. I just don’t know. Aku hanya  menikmati perasaan itu. Sampai akhirnya perasaan itu mulai mengganggu. Perasaan senang dan bahagia berubah—perlahan-lahan namun pasti—menjadi kekhawatiran. Khawatir aku kehilangan dia. Khawatir ketika aku harus menghadapinya I will get hurt. Manusiawi sih, tapi sangat mengganggu. Singkat kata, it didn’t work tapi kita berdua masih baik-baik saja (Amien God!!!!!!!) Lagu ini mengingatkanku kepada pertanyaan dia padaku “Kenapa harus aku? Kenapa kamu suka aku?” and all I could say was “I don’t know. Gak tahu..” dan lagu ini menjelaskan semua hal kenapa aku bias sangat menyayangi dia.
You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
And I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you is you
Being you
Just you
Yeah the reason I love you is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you

Six Degrees of Separation by The Script
Aku gak tahu ya ketika aku melewati proses jatuh “cinta-gagal-mencoba move on” tiba-tiba lagu ini…ngorbit…begitu saja…tanpa tedeng aling-aling. Pertama kali dengerin lagu ini dan baca liriknya…menusuk! S.alan The Script! Okay, sebenarnya apa sih lagu itu tentang? Okay, way better in English, what actually this song is all about?


You've read the books,
You've watched the shows,
What's the best way no one knows, yeah,
Meditate, get hypnotized.
Anything to take from your mind.
But it won't go, ohhhh ohhh
You're doing all these things out of desperation,
Ohhh ohhh,
You're going through six degrees of separation.



Aku nonton televisi. Acara apapun! Aku main music. Aku baca buku. Aku main game. Aku mulai belajar meditasi ke temanku (sebenarnya dia yang menyarankan) simply biar aku bias keluar dari awan gelap patah hati (sedikit tacky emang istilahnya, tapi, sudahlah!). Tapi ternyata gak berhasil. Sangat tidak mudah, lebih tepatnya.
First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have fucked up a little


Nah, ini yang paling menjengkelkan. Aku melalui fase-fase di atas. Jelas, patah hati itu sakiiiiit banget. Sampai akhirnya aku mulai mengklaim aku mulai merasa baikan. Tapi untungnya aku belum menyentuh tahap kelima: melihatnya bersama orang lain. Hahaha..mungkin aku sekarang sudah jauh lebih siap. Berharap kita mendapatkan yang terbaik, itu saja.

When Can I See You Again by Owl City
Lagu ini mengingatkanku pada sebuah keputusan yang tidak mudah sebenarnya, karena keputusan itu didasarkan pada realita yang nyata dan realita yang tidak masuk akal. Manifestasi dari cinta yang one side, masih! Aku tidak pernah menduga kalau ternyata aku bisa sangat down oleh sesuatu yang tidak bias dirasionalkan. Semenjak kejadian itu (aku bilang ke dia on the phone, simply karena ketemu langsung juga kemungkinannya kecil) kita tidak pernah bertemu in person lagi. Dan menurutku ada baiknya juga buat kita berdua—meskipun akhirnya aku berubah pikiran karena takut kitanya jadi awkward di kemudian hari. Kita mulai membangun mimpi kita masing-masing. Dan—lagi-lagi—I know dia orang yang sangat sangat sangaaaat baik hati dan pengertian. 


It's been fun but now I've got to go
Life is way too short to take it slow
But before I go and hit the road
I gotta know, 'til then,
when can we do this again?
Oh oh oh oh
When can I see you again?
Oh oh oh oh
When can we do this again?
Oh oh oh oh
I gotta know

When can I see you again? J

Songs of the Year: 2012 The Chronicle

Seringkali ketika kita mendengarkan sebuah lagu, akan teringat pada kejadian-kejadian, baik yang telah berlalu maupun yang sedang kita alami. Kejadian-kejadian itu mungkin berakhir senang, sedih, bahagia, duka, bingung, atau mungkin “hampir gila” atau bahkan “gila”. Nah, sekarang aku mencoba me-recap songs yang mengiringi apa saja yang aku alami sepanjang 2012. Mungkin gak seheboh cerita-cerita chick lit, anyway, it's just a recap. So, here they are: 

We Found Love by Rihanna/ You Make Me Feel by Cobra Starship
These songs menghiasi awal tahun 2012ku. These songs remind me of someone I ever had a crush on. Or maybe ones. Ya, aku jatuh cinta sama seseorang. Tapi sayangnya, waktu itu aku masih 'takut' untuk bilang sayang atau cinta. Bukan itu saja, parahnya, aku bahkan gak tahu namanya, semester berapa, fakultas apa. Anything. At all! Seriously, we found love 'in a hopeless phase'. Belum cukup di situ. Jadi awalnya aku suka banget sama orang itu, tapi akhirnya aku malah jatuh cinta sama temannya.  Sama parahnya dengan orang pertama, aku bahkan gak tahu nama, semester berapa, fakultas apa orang kedua ini kuliah. Anything. At all! Tapi akhirnya perasaan itu perlahan-lahan menghilang. Aku bahkan gak peduli nama mereka siapa, semester berapa, fakultas apa. Seperti khilaf. Yang sebentar. You make me feel that!!!
  
Fix You by Coldplay

Lagu ini mengingatkanku pada nenekku. Beliau meninggal awal Maret 2012. Aku merasa kehilangan sekali dengan kepergiannya. Beliau meninggal karena stroke yang dideritanya selama lebih dari setahun. Aku masih ingat dulu kalau mau berangkat sekolah aku selalu salim-cium pipi kanan-cium pipi kiri dan dahi nenekku. Bahkan sampai aku kuliah pun kalau aku pulang ke Batu masih saja salim-cium pipi kanan-cium pipi kiri-dahi. Banyak hal yang kita lewati. Sudahlah, let it just linger in my mind. Moreover, ini kan recap lagu OST of my life, bukan cerita berjudul 'Nenekku'. Buat nenekku, I'll be missing you!

Fly by Nicki Minaj ft. Rihanna/ One Thing by One Direction 
Dua lagu ini menjadi soundtrack andalan pas sidang skripsi. Yey! Aku lulus tahun ini (meskipun tidak sedikit temanku bertanya 'Kamu bercanda kan?' atau malah 'Gak usah bohong, Gaga!'). Well, bulan Juni adalah bulan paling menegangkan dan hectic. Aku (dan juga teman-temanku) sibuk ngebut kejar sidang skripsi. Ngebut lulus karena sudah muak untuk bayar SPP lagi.  

 
"I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to strike. I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise. Fly. . . .y. . .y. . .y. . ." 

Itu adalah lagu ketika aktor utama berjalan menuju ruang sidang. Dengan dresscode formal dan jas almamater yang tidak nyaman dipakai dan sedikit mengganggu pemandangan, dengan pengambilan gambar slow motion, dengan latar belakang teman-temannya memberi dukungan sambil duduk di kursi di depan ruang sidang. Ada juga yang sambil mengiringi langkahnya sampai di depan ruang sidang  (gambar slow motion juga). Kemudian dia membuka pintu sidang, kamera shoot (masih slow motion) dari belakang aktor utama dan teman-teman yang mengiringinya, memperlihatkan sekilas ruang sidang di mana terdapat  meja besar bertaplak hijau khas Pengadilan Negeri dengan dosen-dosen penguji duduk menanti aktor utama. Ada yang sambil membolak-balikkan materi yang akan diuji, ada yang sambil ber-lepas-pakai kacamata, ada yang tersenyum ramah (kelihatannya sih tulus, tapi tetap saja mengerikan dalam situasi seperti ini), dan ada juga yang hanya duduk dan menunggu dan kelihatan muak (ini akting paling natural. Khas dosen-dosen). Kamera kembali shoot aktor utama dan teman-teman mereka di depan pintu ruang sidang, slow motion, mereka menepuk-nepuk punggung aktor utama. Tapi tiba-tiba pengambilan gambar kembali normal, suasana panik dan riuh terekam apa adanya, aktor utama masuk ruang sidang karena ada salah satu temannya yang mendorongnya masuk dan dia mencoba menahan dorongan tadi tapi tidak berhasil, kamera mendekat, dan 'ceklek-derr!' pintu tertutup.

Okay. Kembali ke realita. Pintu tertutup dan. . .here I am, di ruang sidang. Pasang senyum Pepsodent. Berasa neraka. And this is it, satu set dosen penguji, lengkap dengan aksesoris, gak pake baterai, gak dijual terpisah. Oh, sh.t!  Aku sidang hari Selasa, 12/6/2012, jam 12.00 siang!!! Okay lah aku tidak begitu suka tidur siang, tapi pada saat itu aku sadar kenapa banyak orang bilang bahwa tidur siang itu enak. Sidang skripsi berjalan selama 1,5-2 jam. Gimana jalannya sidang? Well. .  
 

'I've tried playing it cool, but when I'm looking at you (wahai, para dosen penguji!), I can't ever be brave, coz you make my heart race' 


Ya. Aku gak bisa menyangkal kalau aku lumayan tegang saat sidang. Suhu ruangan tiba-tiba naik. Berasa neraka. Aku seperti dim sum yang lagi dikukus. Keringatku bercucuran, saking banyaknya sampai aku yakin bisa menuhin laguna yang kering. That's gross!  Mungkin sedikit tidak biasa, tapi aku punya cara biar sedikit relax di dalam sana. Jadi, aku anggap saja ruangan itu adalah ruangan audisi American Idol. Aku harus berhasil meyakinkan Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez dan Steven Tyler bahwa aku layak mendapatkan the golden ticket ke Hollywood which is Gedung Soetardjo, tempat wisudaku kelak. And it works! And you know what, hal pertama yang keluar dari mulutku ketika salah satu dosen penguji stated that I'm going through adalah 'Omigod! Thank you!'. Mereka saling menatap. Ya, mereka sedikit terguncang dengan reaksiku.

Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen/ I Wish by One Direction

 
Bulan Juni setelah sidang skripsi, aku mengikuti NUEDC di STIKES Bali. Lumayan lah. Ke Bali gratis. Tapi jangan berharap lebih dari sesuatu yang gratis, karena kemungkinannya seperti undian berhadiah. Perjalanan Jember-Bali itu tidak singkat dan tidak menyenangkan. Bayangkan, aku berangkat jam 4 sore dan tiba on the spot (Hotel Fave, Seminyak) jam setengah 5 pagi, satu jam sebelum acara dimulai (setidaknya, itu yang tertulis di rundown). Wajar dong kalau aku berharap perjalanan –yang durasinya sebelasduabelas dengan waktu kerja buruh FoxConn, berasa ilegal di negeri sendiri karena hampir dilempar kembali ke pesisir Jawa oleh petugas pelabuhan Gilimanuk gara-gara KTP-ku kadaluarsanya keterlaluan, sampai salah naik 'taksi mafia' yang argometernya malah kayak visualisasi bar di Winamp ketimbang nunjukin bill secara TRANSPARAN yang WAJIB diketahui penumpang—ini  berakhir indah di Hotel Fave nanti. Mungkin roommate-ku nanti lumayan banyak, 3 orang mungkin (boleh!), dari daerah-daerah lain, salah satu ada yang menarik. New friends, fresh air. Tapi, undian berhadiah tetaplah undian berhadiah. Roommate-ku cuma satu orang, dan. . . . . . .dia. . . . . . .sedikit. . . . . . . . .mengapung. Ketika dia bukain pintu kamar, he said “Dah lama nunggu (di depan pintu)?” I said "Hey! Kamu (la~gi!)" Hey, I (just) met you. And this is crazy. Jangan berharap lebih dari sesuatu yang gratis.  

Terlepas dari hal itu, aku mengalaminya lagi. Jatuh cinta. Kejadiannya ketika aku sedang breakfast sendirian, eh, tiba-tiba di depanku ada someone duduk sambil membawa menu breakfastnya. Tatapan kita sempat bertemu. Tatapannya seperti '?' dan aku meresponnya dengan tatapan 'Ya? Okay, aku mau makan. Dah!'. Tapi setelah 5 sendok makan, aku baru menyadari kalau orang ini. . .menarik. Aku jatuh cinta setelah 5 sendok nasi. #sigh  

Since then, kepalaku mulai terisi dengan 'dia'. Dia memenuhi kepalaku. Setiap kali lihat dia, I was like 'Stay, Rangga! Don't fall!'. Setiap kali lihat dia tersenyum I was like shouting myself 'STAY!' kayak peserta neriakin tumpukan duit di Million Dollar Money Drop. Trying to maintain but I'm struggling. 


'When you walk by, I try to say it. But then I freeze and never do it. My tounge gets tied, the words get trapped'  

Aku gila. Aku cuma bisa termehek-mehek (ke temanku), memanggil-manggil tidak jelas (ke temanku), memasang tatapan 'Hey, aku lagi jatuh cinta ma orang itu!' (ke temanku), memukul-mukul (temanku), dan membuat muak (temanku). Tapi akhirnya, secara kebetulan banget, aku bisa ngobrol sama dia. Di depan toilet. Sebentar sih tapi lumayan bikin aku. . .mixed! Dia ternyata berasal dari ujung Indonesia. Tempat yang bahkan aku gak punya niatan pergi ke sana karena di sana sangat strict. Aku ingin melihatnya debate, actually, sayang gak sempat. Anyway, aku kembali ke Jember dengan cinta. Haha. . . It was fun!

Six Degrees of Separation by The Script



"Six Degrees Of Separation"*

You've read the books,
You've watched the shows,
What's the best way no one knows, yeah,
Meditate, get hypnotized.
Anything to take from your mind.
But it won't, ohhhh ohhh
You're doing all these things out of desperation,
Ohhh ohhh,
You're going through six degrees of separation.

You hit the drink, you take a toke
Watch the past go up in smoke.
Fake a smile, yeah, lie and say that,
You're better now than ever, and your life's okay
When it's not. No.
You're doing all these things out of desperation,
Ohhh ohhh,
You're going through six degrees of separation.

First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have fucked up a little

(Oh no there ain't no help, it's every man for himself)
(No no there ain't no help, it's every man for himself)

You tell your friends, yeah, strangers too,
Anyone who'll throw an arm around you, yeah
Tarot cards
Gems and stones,
Believing all that shit is gonna heal your soul.
Well it's not, wohhhh

You're only doing things out of desperation,
Ohhh ohhh,
You're goin' through six degrees of separation.

First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have fucked up a little

No there's no starting over,
Without finding closure, you'd take them back,
No hesitation,
That's when you know you've reached the sixth degree of separation

No there's no starting over,
Without finding closure, you'd take them back,
No hesitation,
That's when you know you've reached the sixth degree of separation

First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have fucked up a little
