sekarang aku lagi keranjingan lagunya si Adele yang Someone Like You. emang gak lagu baru seh, tapi berhubung di tahun naga air ini aku lagi galau-galaunya jadi lagu ini terasa pas menjadi soundtrack waktu aku lagi merenung. (merenung kayaknya ketinggian y.. ngayal aja deh..)
apa alasannya tuk galau? BUANYAKKK..!! pokoknya minggu ne pengennya marah-marah, maki-maki, guling-guling, ngancur-ngancurin barang, dsb, dll, dst. apalagi setelah tau kalo "cerita" ini ternyata jadi konsumsi publik, wuagh... ampe kluar lava dari ubun-ubun. mungkin aku agak lebay, tapi gapapa deh. postingan ini sebagai reminder bahwa ternyata pada suatu masa dalam perjalanan hidupku aku pernah galau. cekidot deh liriknya...
ADELE-SOMEONE LIKE YOU
I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl
And you're married now
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things
I didn't give to you
Old friend,
Why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over
Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
"Don't forget me," I begged
"I'll remember," you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Yeah.
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday
It was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise
Of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.
Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
"Don't forget me," I begged
"I'll remember," you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known
How bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
"Don't forget me," I begged
"I'll remember," you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead"
Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
"Don't forget me," I begged
"I'll remember," you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead

ANEH...
Rs 20 looks such a big amount when u have to give that to poor
But looks small when ur giving it as a tip at a HOTEL
……………………………………………………………………………………………
Praying to god for 3 min looks hard
But 3 hrs of movie is ok for us
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
After a whole day of hardwork , we have no prob to go to the gym
But doing house work and helping mom looks tired
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
We wait for 1 full yr for valentines day
But when do mother’s day come? we never know
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
One couldn’t give a piece of bread to the child in the picture above
But this painting where he looks sad was sold for lakhs of Rs
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
To fwd this msg we will think, but to fwd jokes we never think
VERY STRANGE……………………………

A Girl
Who is a girl?
A girl is the most beautiful part of Gods creation.She starts compromising at a very tender age.She sacrifices her chocolates for her brother.Later she sacrifices her love for just a smile on her parents face.She sacrifices her full youth for her husband and children without complain.And finally her life ends up only by compromising for others happiness. She is that creature of God who no one can compete

ONE MORE CHANCE
Its another Morning
I have to go to office
I Saw Today’s Newspaper
Ohh!!! This is ME
Alexander Rodriguez (1966- 2008)
Dying so young, what a disaster
I shouted having a glance on my snap in today today’s newspaper
What the hell it is doing in the
Death Column
One Sec… Let me Think
When I was going to bed, Last Night
I have severe Pain in My Chest
I was taken to Hospital But I think I had Sound Sleep There..
Its 10AM Now
Where is My Coffee? I will be late for office My Boss will get a chance to irritate me But.. Where is Everyone?
I Think There is a Crowd outside my Room. But Why Some of them Crying
I looked inside the Room
I Was lying on the Floor
I Was Shocked
Hey listen I am here with you…. I Shouted
Nobody was Looking at me They were watching my body Lying on the floor
Am I DEAD?
I asked myself
Where is my Wife, My Children, My Friends?
I Saw my Wife in Next Room.. She Was Crying She was Looking Very SAD
My little kid was also crying because her Mom was SAD
How Can I Go Without Saying My Wife that She was the most Beautiful and Caring Wife in this
World.
How Can I Go Without Saying My Kid that I Really Love ThemI Really do Care
For them that
How Can I Go Without Saying My Friends that Without them perhaps, I have doneMost of the Wrong things in My Life
Oh! The Guy there was used to be my Best Friend Small Misunderstanding made us apart
I Just want to say him sorry!!!
It seems no one is able to see me
Am I Really DEAD?
I asked myself
I sat Down Near ME.
I was also feeling like Crying
I prayed
Please God just give me few more days
I Want to make my Wife,
My Kids, My Friends Realize that How much I LOVE THEM!
I Saw My Wife entered the Room I Wanted to Tell her that
To the world you might be one person, but to one person you might be the world
Ohh God I Screamed
A Little More Time PLEASEEEEEEEEE!
One More Chance to
Hug My Child
One More Chance
To Thank My Wife for
Still Being There in my life
I Shouted..
Please…God, One More Chance Please
“You Shouted in Sleep” My Wife Said…..“Did you have a Nightmare?”
Oh! Thank God, It was Just a DREAM.
I was Sleeping I hugged her and whispered..
“

SOUL TOUCHING POEM
I went to a party Mom,
I remembered what you said.
You told me not to drink, Mom,
So I drank soda instead.
I really felt proud inside, Mom,
The way you said I would.
I didn't drink and drive, Mom,
Even though the others said I should.
I know I did the right thing, Mom,
I know you are always right..
Now the party is finally ending, Mom,
As everyone is driving out of sight..
As I got into my car, Mom,
I knew I'd get home in one piece.
Because of the way you raised me,
So responsible and sweet.
I started to drive away, Mom,
But as I pulled out into the road,
The other car didn't see me, Mom,
And hit me like a load.
As I lay there on the pavement, Mom,
I hear the policeman say,
"The other guy is drunk," Mom,
And now I'm the one who will pay.
I'm lying here dying, Mom....
I wish you'd get here soon.
How could this happen to me, Mom?
My life just burst like a balloon.
There is blood all around me, Mom,
And most of it is mine.
I hear the medic say, Mom,
I'll die in a short time.
I just wanted to tell you, Mom,
I swear I didn't drink.
It was the others, Mom.
The others didn't think.
He was probably at the same party as I.
The only difference is, he drank
And I will die.
Why do people drink, Mom?
It can ruin your whole life.
I'm feeling sharp pains now.
Pains just like a knife.
The guy who hit me is walking, Mom,
And I don't think it's fair.
I'm lying here dying
And all he can do is stare.
Tell my brother not to cry, Mom.
Tell Daddy to be brave.
And when I go to heaven, Mom,
Put "GOOD BOY " on my grave.
Someone should have told him, Mom,
Not to drink and drive.
If only they had told him, Mom,
I would still be alive.
My breath is getting shorter, Mom.
I'm becoming very scared.
Please don't cry for me, Mom.
When I needed you, you were always there.
I have one last question, Mom.
Before I say good bye.
I didn't drink and drive,
So why am I the one to die?
Someone took the effort to write this poem. So please, forward this to as many people as you can. And see if we can get a chain going around the world that will make people understand that drinking and driving don't do at a time.

Love Is Not About Age
An old man in love is like a flower in winter.
Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter
In youth the days are short and the years are long; in old age the years are short and the days long.
It ought to be lovely to be old
to be full of the peace that comes of experience and wrinkled ripe fulfilment.
The wrinkled smile of completeness that follows a life lived undaunted and unsoured with accepted lies they would ripen like apples, and be scented like pippins
in their old age.
Soothing, old people should be, like apples
when one is tired of love. Fragrant like yellowing leaves, and dim with the soft stillness and satisfaction of autumn.
And a girl should say:
It must be wonderful to live and grow old.
Look at my mother, how rich and still she is!
And a young man should think: By Jove
my father has faced all weathers, but it's been a life!

GOD'S WIFE
Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once
Talked about a contest he was asked to judge.
The purpose of the
Contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was:
A four-year-old child, whose next door
neighbor was an elderly gentleman, who had recently lost his
wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old
Gentleman's yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there.
When his mother asked him what he had
said to the neighbor, the little boy just said, 'Nothing, I just
Helped him cry.'
*********************************************
Teacher Debbie Moon's first graders were
discussing a picture of a family. One little boy in the picture
had a different hair color than the other members. One of her
students suggested that he was adopted.
A little girl said, 'I know all about
Adoption, I was adopted..'
'What does it mean to be adopted?', asked
another child.
'It means', said the girl, 'that you grew
in your mommy's heart instead of her tummy!'
*********************************************
Whenever I'm disappointed with my spot
in life, I stop and think about little Jamie Scott.
Jamie was trying out for a part in the
school play His mother told me that he'd set his heart on being
in it, though she feared he would not be chosen..
On the day the parts were awarded, I went
with her to collect him after school. Jamie rushed up to her,
eyes shining with pride and excitement.. 'Guess what, Mom,' he
shouted, and then said those words that will remain a lesson to
me....'I've been chosen to clap and cheer.'

An eye witness account from New York
City , on a cold day in December,
some years ago: A little boy,
about 10-years-old, was standing before a shoe store on the
roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering
With cold.
A lady approached the young boy and said,
'My, but you're in such deep thought staring in that window!'
'I was asking God to give me a pair of
shoes,'was the boy's reply.
The lady took him by the hand, went into
the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks
for the boy She then asked if he could give her a basin of water
and a towel He quickly brought them to her.
She took the little fellow to the back
part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed
his little feet, and dried them with the towel.
By this time, the clerk had returned with
the socks.. Placing a pair upon the boy's feet, she purchased him
a pair of shoes....
She tied up the remaining pairs of socks
and gave them to him.. She patted him on the head and said, 'No
doubt, you will be more comfortable now.'
As she turned to go, the astonished kid
caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears
in his eyes, asked her.
'Are you God's wife?'

Philosphy of Life
A boat docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village.
A tourist complimented the local fishermen on the quality of their fish and asked how long it took them to catch it.
"Not very long." they answered in unison.
"Why didn't you stay out longer and catch more?"
The fishermen explained that their small catches were sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families.
"But what do you do with the rest of your time?"
"We sleep late, fish a little, play with our children, and take siestas with our wives.
In the evenings, we go into the village to see our friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs.
We have a full life."
The tourist interrupted,
"I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you!
You should start by fishing longer every day.
You can then sell the extra fish you catch.
With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat."
"And after that?"
"With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers.
Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant.
You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City!
From there you can direct your huge new enterprise."
"How long would that take?"
"Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years." replied the tourist.
"And after that?"
"Afterwards? Well my friend, that's when it gets really interesting, " answered the tourist, laughing. "When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!"
"Millions? Really? And after that?" asked the fishermen.
"After that you'll be able to retire,
live in a tiny village near the coast,
sleep late, play with your children,
catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife
and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends."
"With all due respect sir, but that's exactly what we are doing now. So what's the point wasting twenty-five years?" asked the Mexicans.
And the moral of this story is:
Know where you're going in life....
you may already be there.

FRIEND
Some become Dearest,
Some become Special,
Fell in LOVE with someone,
Some go abroad,
Some change their cities,
Some left country
We left Some,
Some are in contact,
Some are not in contact,
Some don't contact because of their EGO,
We don't contact some because of OUR EGO,
Whatever they were,
We still REMEMBER,
LOVE, MISS, CARE for THEM,
Because of the part they played to make MEMORIES.
Its friendship.. .....
When a person calls u by a stupid name and never by ur own name.....
When they always get angry, whenever u tell them that u r busy and cant reply...
When they tell u everything about themselves even if its embarassing. ..
When they come to c u, whenever they get a chance....
When u argue with each other on stupid things and then end up laughing....
Friends..... ...
They love you,
but they are not your lover
They care for you,
but they are not from your family
They are ready to share your pain,
but they are not in your blood relation .
They are........FRIENDS! !!!!
True friend ...... .
Scolds like a DAD..
Cares like a MOM..
Teases like a SISTER..
Irritates like a BROTHER..
And finally loves U more than a LOVER.

Fairies are Women
A married couple in their early 60s was celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary in a quiet, Romantic little restaurant.
Suddenly, a tiny yet beautiful fairy appeared on their table. She said, 'For being such an exemplary married couple and for being loving
to each other for all this time, I will grant you each a wish.'
The wife answered, 'Oh, I want to travel around the world with my darling husband.'
The fairy waved her magic wand and - poof! - two tickets for the Queen Mary II appeared in her hands.
The husband thought for a moment: 'Well, this is all very romantic, but an opportunity like this will never come again...
I'm sorry my love, but my wish is to have a wife 30 years younger than me..' The wife, and the fairy, were deeply disappointed, but a wish is a wish. So the fairy waved her magic wand and poof!.. The husband became 92 years old!!!
The moral of this story: Men who are ungrateful should remember fairies are females
SEND THIS TO A WOMAN WHO NEEDS A GOOD LAUGH .... AND TO ANY MAN WHO CAN HANDLE IT

WHAT IS LOVE?
A student asks a teacher, "What is Love?"
The teacher said, "in order to answer your question, go to the wheat
field and choose the biggest wheat and come back.
But the rule is: you can go through them only once and cannot turn back
to pick."
...The student went to the field, go thru first row, he saw one big wheat,
but he wonders....may be there is a bigger one later.
Then he saw another bigger one... but may be there is an even bigger
one waiting for him.
Later, when he finished more than half of the wheat field, he starts to
realise that the wheat is not as big as the previous one he saw, he
knew he has missed the biggest one, and he regretted.
So, he ended up went back to the teacher with empty hand.
The teacher
told him, "...this is love... you keep looking for better ones, but
when later you realise, you have already missed the person

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well.
The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway;
it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him.
They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.
A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well.
He was astonished at what he saw.
With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal,
he would shake it off and take a step up.
Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey
stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!
MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt.
The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up.
Each of our troubles is a stepping stone.
We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up!
Shake it off and take a step up.
Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.
2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less from people but more from God.
You have two choices...smile and close this page,
or pass this along to someone else to share the lesson ....... I did!!
GOD BLESS YOU....!

WE ARE BORN WITH
We are born with two eyes in front
because we must not always look behind,
but see what lies ahead beyond ourselves.
We are born to have two ears
one left, one right
so we can hear both sides,
collect both the compliments and criticisms,
to see which are right.
We are born with a brain concealed in a skull
then no matter how poor we are,
we are still rich,
for no one can steal what our brain contains,
packing in more jewels and rings
than you can think.
We are born with two eyes, two ears,
but one mouth
for the mouth is a sharp weapon,
it can hurt, flirt, and kill.
Remember our motto:
talk less, listen and see more.
We are born with only one heart,
deep in our ribs it reminds us
to appreciate and give
love from deep within
because we must not always look behind,
but see what lies ahead beyond ourselves.

HEART TOUCHING STORY
I was walking around in a Big Bazar store making shopping, when I saw a Cashier talking to a boy couldn't have been more than 5 or 6 years old.
The Cashier said, 'I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll. Then the little boy turned to me and asked: Uncle, are you sure I don't have enough money?
I counted his cash and replied: You know that you don't have enough money to buy the doll, my dear.... The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand. Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to.. 'It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much . I wanted to Gift her for her BIRTHDAY.
I have to give the doll to my mummy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.' His eyes were so sad while saying this.
'My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister..''
My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and said: 'I told daddy to tell mummy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I
come back from the mall..' Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing. He then told me 'I want mummy to take my picture with her so my sister won't forget me.' 'I love my mummy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.' Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly..
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. 'Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll?''
'OK' he said, 'I hope I do have enough..' I added some of my money to his with out him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.
The little boy said: 'Thank you God for giving me enough money!'
Then he looked at me and added, 'I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that mummy could give It to my sister. He heard me!'' 'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mummy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mummy loves white roses.'
I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started. I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the
life-sustaining machine, because the young woman would not be able to recover from the coma. Was this the family of the little boy?
Two days after this encounter with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young woman had passed away.. I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before her burial. She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest. I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever..
The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine.. And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.
