Read this, then use Public Transportation

Apakah Anda salah satu pengguna mobil pribadi?

Anda bangga akan hal itu? Bangga karena Anda memiliki mobil pribadi, tidak berkeringat saat sampai di kantor atau kampus?

Anda mengeluh karena jalanan di Jakarta macet?

Simpan dulu keluhan Anda.. Ada beberapa hal yang perlu Anda cermati sebelum keluhan itu keluar dari mulut Anda..

1. Pemerintah hanya mementingkan kepentingan umum dibandingkan kepentingan pribadi. Mobil pribadi adalah tanggungan Anda, angkutan umumlah yang hanya ditanggung pemerintah. Tidak perlu jalanan yang luas hanya untuk menampung mobil pribadi..

2. 1,6 juta mobil dan 3,8 juta motor berkeliaran setiap harinya di jalan raya Jakarta. Jumlah bus, hanya 350rb. Jadi bisa dilihat siapakah penyebab kemacetan di ibukota..

3. Tidak selamanya orang naik mobil pribadi itu terlihat lebih keren. Saya akan lebih menghargai orang yang menggunakan angkutan publik karena dia akan terlihat lebih mandiri di mata saya..

4. Program bus rapid transit yang diusung Pemprov DKI Jakarta tidak akan pernah sukses jika masih banyak orang yang menggunakan mobil pribadi. Tidak perlu protes jika lajur jalan raya diambil sebagai jalur bus (busway), krn busway adalah untuk kepentingan umum. Bukankah Anda diajarkan di SD, untuk mengutamakan kepentingan umum diatas kepentingan pribadi? Malu ah sama tingkat pendidikan Anda..

Cobalah Anda mulai menggunakan angkutan publik. Tidak perlu langsung, bisa Anda mulai dari seminggu sekali, lalu menjadi seminggu tiga kali, dan begitu seterusnya, sampai Anda hanya menggunakan mobil pribadi seminggu sekali. Anda mungkin akan mengeluh jika saat pertama kali menggunakan angkutan publik. Simpanlah keluhan Anda. Lihat keadaan sekeliling Anda. Sesungguhnya ada banyak pelajaran berharga tentang kehidupan yang akan memperkaya batin Anda.

Selamat mencoba dan menikmati angkutan publik!

I’ve been there, done that :)

My (Last) Fall

tangga reyot yang saya naiki akhirnya harus patah
terbelah dua, tercerai berai hingga berurai
air mata?
ahh tidak juga
tidak ada air mata kali ini

yang ada hanyalah pengharapan
harapan akan datangnya cahaya baru dalam hidup saya
setidaknya saya bisa dengan berani mati mengeluarkan kata itu
"KITA NGGAK USAH KETEMU DULU"

sangat sulit
raga dan batin ini terlalu renta untuk bertahan
ketidakpeduliannya sudah akut
dan bahkan saya telah dihapusnya dari memorinya
dari account" dunia maya

tidak masalah
sama sekali tidak
saya hanya menganggap itu sebagai sifatnya yang terlalu kekanakan
sayalah yang seharusnya melakukan semua kejahatan internet itu
bukan kamu..

3 bulan sudah kita tidak bertemu
masihkah foto itu digantung..
apa kabar?
saya rasa tidak terlalu menyedihkan untuk menanyakan kabar
manusia perlu membangun sebuah hubungan
tidak selamanya kita seperti ini

kamu tau? aku kangen.. bukan kangen rasa itu
ahaha, rasa itu terlalu sakit untuk diingat
saya hanya kangen dunia kita, dan hanya kita yang tahu apa artinya..

Memory Box

Hold on, just need time to be strong,
I don't blame you for this time,
never again
Always try not to cry out again
till then I realize that you're not the one
Stand up and feel the breeze
and keep you in my memory box sealed tight
then move on to the next screen of my new life
Hold on, try not to cry out again
till then I realize that you're not the one
Don't stop breathing, I'm running
It's time to move and running
Let me gone in thousand miles away
to reach the upper sky
Stand up and feel the breeze
and keep you in my memory box sealed tight
then move on to the next screen of my new life
Stand up and feel the breeze
and keep you in my memory box sealed tight.
then move on to the next screen of my new life
Hope is my strength to get through this feeling day by day
and I always have hope to seek the trully feelings
Stand up and feel the breeze
and keep you in my memory box sealed tight
then move on to the next screen of my new life
Stand up and feel the breeze
and keep you in my memory box sealed tight
then move on to the next screen of my new life

Gabe Saporta!!

Hey guys, meet again.

Hmm, let see.. Now I just want to share one of my new, my another favorite band *I even don’t know if it is a band or what*.

Any of you know about Cobra Starship? I just listened to them about a week ago, when I changed my tv channel to MTV Asia which played their newest video clip, “Good Girls Go Bad” featuring Leighton Meester.

Yesss, you all know her aight? She roles her act as Blair in one of my favorite tv show, Gossip Girl. You know, she’s kinda attractive, sexy, and cute in that video clip. She sings some part of the song with the frontman, Gabe Saporta.

My some tweets lately are about him. I put my eyes so much onto him just because I like his style. You know, he has a very good taste of fashion. I love his colorful stuff which hang on his body. Anyway, he looks cute and hot.

Cobra Starship began in 2006 as the Alternative-Rock side-project of vocalist + bassist Gabe Saporta. He was born in Montevideo, Uruguay and at age 4 he immigrated to Queens, New York, with dreams of becoming a rockstar. In the late '90s, Saporta formed the Emo-Punk quartet Midtown, scoring a mid-size hit with the album "Forget What You Know" in 2004.

In 2006 Saporta joined forces with Maja Ivarsson from The Sounds, William Beckett lead singer of The Academy Is… and rapper Travis McCoy to cut Cobra Starship's debut single, the Hot Modern Rock top 40 hit "Snakes On A Plane (Bring It)" which was featured on the soundtrack to the Samuel L. Jackson comedy, "Snakes On A Plane".

The band's first album, "When The City Sleeps, We Rule The Streets", followed in October that same year. Saporta assembled a full band, this time around, featuring Ryland Blackinton on lead guitar, Elisa Schwartz on keytar, Alex Suarez on bass and Nate Novarro on drums. Issued by Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen, the group's debut record peaked at #7 on the U.S. Top Independent Albums chart also crossing over to The Billboard 200.

October 2007 saw the release of the critically acclaimed sophomore effort "iViva La Cobra!" which debuted at #80 on The Billboard Top 200 Albums chart and spawned the alt-Rock radio minor hit single "Guilty Pleasure". The full-length disc marked the recording debut of Victoria Asher who replaced Schwartz on keytar.

Cobra Starship's third album, "Hot Mess", arrives in August 2009; the 11-song set includes the first single "Good Girls Go Bad" which features actress-turned-singer Leighton Meester.

Here’s the video!

Boys are like apples

Boys are like apples on trees. The best ones are at the top. Most people don't want to reach for the good ones because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. Instead they just pick up the rotten apples off the ground that aren't as good, but easy.

So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality they are amazing. They just have to wait for the right person to come along. The one who is brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the tree.

Watch your step dude

I Just Need (Words, Acts, Love)

Who said time will heal things
You know, shit happens
I've been feeling this
Being ignore by you

Who said i could through this
You know, I'm dying
Waiting just for your ignorance yeah
You dumped me

Whatever it takes
I'll do everything for you
But this is too much
I can't like this forever

Now I know
That everything is not possible
You owe me everything
I just need your words, acts and love

You'll always in my mind
