'Eid Mubarak

Tanpa terasa, hari sudah memasuki pertengahan Ramadhan. Ibarat bonus games yang diberikan dalam waktu teramat singkat, pahala-pahala yang diumbar selama Ramadhan ini pun memiliki batas waktu. Maka, kita harus pandai-pandai memanfaatkan segala kemudahan yang diberikan untuk berburu pahala yang bertebaran di bulan penuh berkah ini. Bahkan hal terkecil seperti tersenyum tulus ke orang lain pun bernilai ibadah.

Yuk, kita semangat memperbanyak ibadah agar lebih dekat dengan sang Maha Pencipta, karena hanya kepadaNya lah sepatutnya kita berharap.

Selamat berburu pahala...

It's A Beautiful Day

It's A Beautiful Day

by: U2

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

Story Behind the song:
awalnya denger di blog-nya orang,,terus beberapa hari kemudian denger lagi di prambors (my fave radio station). Enak didengerin dan maknanya cukup "ngena" di diriku... hehehe,,terutama buat salah satu liriknya: What you don't have you don't need it now... bikin aku tambah yakin kalau aku harus selalu bersyukur atas apa yang sudah aku miliki saat ini dan yakin kalau Allah telah mengatur rezeki untukku...

Defying Gravity

DEFYING GRAFITY

By: Chris Colfer & Lea Michele

Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I am defying gravity
And you wont bring me down!

I'm through accepting limits
''cause someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you wont bring me down!

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you won't bring me down!
bring me down!

OST Gie

Pernah nonton film Soe Hok Gie?
Kalo udah pernah, pasti tau lagu Donna Donna yang jadi salah satu Original Soundtrack-nya dan dinyanyiin sama Sita RSD. Sebenernya penyanyi aslinya sih bukan Sita, tapi Joan Baez. Dia nyanyiin lagu Donna Donna ini di tahun 1960-an.

-Oalah.... aku masih belum lahir ke dunia tahun segitu, jangankan aku... Mamaku juga belum lahir....hehehehe-

Lagunya enak banget deh didengerin. Makanya aku jadiin salah satu song of the month....

DONNA DONNA

By: Sita

On a waggon bound for market
there's a calf with a mournful eye.
High above him there's a swallow,
winging swiftly through the sky.

Reff:
How the winds are laughing,
they laugh with all their might.
Laugh and laugh the whole day through,
and half the summers night.

Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna;
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don.
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna;
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don.

"Stop complaining!" said the farmer,
Who told you a calf to be?
Why don't you have wings to fly with,
like the swallow so proud and free?

Repeat Reff

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered,
never knowing the reason why.
But whoever treasures freedom,
like the swallow has learned to fly.

Repeat Reff
