December – Day 5

ojek sepeda

Sunday sunday sunday. It’s day #5 of my PhotoDec2010 project.
There’s no sun (almost) during the day. Cloudy and part of South Jakarta was raining. Didnt have plan where to spend this sunday afternoon, so i just went to Kota Tua (Jakarta Old City Area) with Rara. She’s never been there (at noon) before, so i guest it’s best for us to look around and came back on another day for taking pictures.

Weather was not good, looks like there was rain couple hours before and still drizzle falling. Cant take many photos, just sight seeing around Fatahillah Square.

These are some pictures taken with my iPhone4

December – Day 1

MB134

Got my MacBook Pro (the one with garskin sticker) back from apple service center.
Mine is 15″ MB134, alumunium early 2008 before the unibody. It’s been ‘death’ last month because of Apple f*****g problem with Nvidia 8600GT.

The Apple service here in Indonesia (iBox) said that my MacBookPro is not in the list that Apple will replace the logic board for free because of this f****ng Nvidia GPU problem. Mine is early 2008 and it should be covered by the extend warranty. I dont know if the list that iBox mentioned is valid or not but i had to pay more than USD 640 to get it alive again.

And it seems there still a problem with the fan. The fan seems to be auto-on when the OSX is loaded up. So, only having the Snow Leopard login prompt will make the fan spinning and make noise. I have to return it back to iBox for further checking. A friend suggest me to check the censor-fan cable (white one) that probably misplaced or even forgot to be placed properly. His MacBook Pro also had same problem, but that facewall dude was lucky for having free logic board replacement.

Damn!!

I Love The Way You Lie

I like this version so much :)
[tube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-BfImvibu4[/tube]

[Chorus – Rihanna]
just gonna stand there and watch me burn
that’s alright because i like the way it hurts
just gonna stand there and hear me cry
that’s alright because i love the way you lie
i love the way you lie

[Eminem – Verse 1]
i can’t tell you what it really is
i can only tell you what it feels like
and right now it’s a steel knife in my windpipe
i can’t breathe but i still fight while i can fight
as long as the wrong feels right it’s like i’m in flight
high off of love drunk from my hate
it’s like i’m huffin’ paint and i love it the more i suffer, i suffocate
and right before i’m about to drown, she resuscitates me, she fuckin’ hates me
and i love it, wait, where you goin’?
i’m leavin’ you, no you ain’t come back
we’re runnin’ right back, here we go again
so insane, cause when it’s goin’ good its goin’ great
i’m superman with the wind in his back, she’s Lois Lane
but when its bad its awful, i feel so ashamed i snap
whose that dude? i don’t even know his name
i laid hands on her
i never stoop so low again
i guess i don’t know my own strength

[chorus]

[Eminem – Verse 2]
you ever love somebody so much you can barely breathe
when you with em you meet and neither one of you even know what hit em
got that warm fuzzy feeling
yeah them chills used to get em
now you’re getting fuckin’ sick of lookin’ at em
you swore you’d never hit em, never do nothin’ to hurt em
now you’re in each other’s face spewin’ venom in your words when you spit em
you push pull each other’s hair
scratch claw hit em throw em down pin em
so lost in the moments when you’re in em
it’s the face that’s the culprit, controls ya both,
so they say it’s best to go your seperate ways
guess that they don’t know ya
http://www.elyricsworld.com/love_the_way_you_lie_lyrics_eminem.html
cause today that was yesterday
yesterday is over, it’s a different day
sound like broken records playin’ over
but you promised her next time you’ll show restraint
you don’t get another chance
life is no nintendo game, but you lied again,
now you get to watch her leave out the window
guess that’s why they call it window pane

[Chorus]

[Eminem – Verse 3]
now i know we said things, did things, that we didn’t mean
and we fall back into the same patterns, same routine
but your temper’s just as bad as mine is, you’re the same as me
when it comes to love you’re just as blinded
baby please come back, it wasn’t you, baby it was me
maybe our relationship isn’t as crazy as it seems
maybe that’s what happens when a tornado meets a volcano
all i know is i love you too much to walk away though
come inside, pick up the bags off the sidewalk
don’t you hear sincerity in my voice when i talk?
told you this is my fault, look me in the eyeball
next time i’m pissed ill aim my fist at the drywall
next time there won’t be no next time
i apologize even though i know its lies
i’m tired of the games i just want her back
i know i’m a liar if she ever tries to fuckin’ leave again
i’ma tie her to the bed and set this house on fire

[chorus]

Hidup Itu Indah

Hidup Itu IndahLife is Beautiful
Bukan, bukan, bukan. Ini bukan terjemahan dari film karya Roberto Benigni yang sangat menyentuh itu.

Hidup itu Indah adalah kumpulan komik opini karya Cak Aji Prasetyo, komikus (juga musikus, CMIIW) asal Malang.

Arema yayyyy :D

Sebuah catatan kecil dari Noor Huda Ismail (Direktur Eksekutif Yayasan Prasasti Perdamaian) menyebutkan bahwa ini adalah karya yang proviokatif. Memang, buku ini bisa provokatif banget buat orang-orang yang emang suka terprovokasi (emo instead of ratio, act without think) :D Kamu bisa lihat sendiri cover bukunya seperti apa kan?
Di bagian belakang buku ini, ada logo kalo kontennya adalah untuk konsumsi dewasa. Jadi mungkin yang dimaksud hanya yang “dewasa” yang mungkin bisa memahami, menelaah, kemudian menikmati dan ngakak oleh isinya :)

Aji - Mitsuru

Kumpulan komik ini ga seperti manga-manga Jepang / Korea / Hongkong yang ada di pasaran saat ini. Ini mirip graphic novel lah kalo istilah saya. Kombinasi gambar dan narasi cerita. Dan seperti halnya Adachi Mitsuru, Cak Aji memasukkan dirinya ke dalam komik. Bedanya kalo Adachi Mitsuru suka malu-malu, nongol jadi cameo di satu box doang, bagian disalahin atau di sindir ama tokoh komiknya. Kalo Cak Aji jadi tokoh sentral dalam komik ini. Toh ini komik berisi pikiran-pikiran dia kan :D

Komik ini dibagi menjadi 5 bab dan berisi opini/kritik Cak Aji akan lingkungan sosial di mana kita berada saat ini.

Ingat iklan KFC dimana seorang perangkat desa baru mau “nyetempel” dokumen setelah disodorin Bucket KFC? Nah di sini Cak Aji menggambarkan suasana kantor desa yang menyenangkan itu dengan lebih nyata :D Ada juga mengenai sinetron dan reality show yang menjajah hampir tiap rumah di negeri ini, mencekoki pemirsanya dengan mimpi-mimpi yang ga rasional. Ada tentang facebook, teknologi dengan segala pelarangannya.

Ada bab yang membahas agama sebagai komoditi. Di sini agama dikemas dan dibawa-bawa dalam berbagai hal, untuk materi kampanye parpol, dasar pembenaran melakukan tindakan pelanggaran (perhatikan cover buku :P) atau anarkis dan lain sebagainya. Banyak yang lupa substansi agama itu sendiri sebagai rahmatan lil ‘alamin.

Ramadhan Penuh Hikmah

Dan tentu saja ada bahasan mengenai politik. Siapa sih yang ga suka politik (kecuali saya)? :D kebetulan Cak Aji ini salah satu member aktif situs politikana juga rupanya.

Hidup Itu Indah,
tinggal bagaimana cara kita menjalani dan menikmati itu sendiri.
Ala Gayus dengan para client serta pelindungnya
Atau ala pasangan muda dalam komik Cak Aji ini.

Hidup Itu Indah

Seperti halnya komik-komik karya Adachi Mitsuru, saya merekomendasikan buku ini untuk dibeli, dibaca dan dikoleksi. Isi buku Cak Aji sendiri berasal dari blognya di klewang.multiply.com. Tapi tetep kamu mesti beli bukunya buat baca-baca offline

*beneran ini bukan iklan apalagi postingan blog berbayar :P*
