Ella Henderson - Ghost

I keep going to the river to pray, 'Cos I need something that can wash out the pain And at most I’m sleeping all these demons away But your ghost, the ghost of you it keeps me awake..

Setelah 1 bait pertama saya tau lagu ini bakal nempel terus di kepala saya. Sekilas terdengar seperti Adele, tapi kok pas nada tinggi suaranya jadi agak mirip Leona Lewis.  Untungnya sebelum lagu berakhir, saya sudah sampe di lampu merah di ujung jalan tol Bali Mandara, jadi cukup aman untuk melepas setir dan men-track lagu dengan Shazam (Thanks Shazam! ). Ternyata  lagu ini dinyanyikan oleh newcomer yang juga finalis The X Factor season 9, namanya Ella Henderson dan umurnya (baru) 18 tahun. Yang bikin lagu ini jadi keren banget mungkin juga karena ada campur tangan Ryan Tedder. I keep praying this song will be available in Happy Puppy Karaoke Song list x))

"Being broke is a temporary financial condition. Being poor is a state of mind"

Make it Happen by Prita Hapsari Ghozie

Bought this book for a birthday present for my 2 girlfriends (who are currently enjoying their new role as a mom!) and found out they totally love this book!

Meskipun gak bekerja di bidang keuangan, siapa bilang belajar soal Financial Planning itu ribet bet. Buku ini membahas financial planning dengan bahasa yang mudah dimengerti. Mulai dari bikin anggaran rumah tangga yang simpel , bahas soal dana darurat, sampe produk2 keuangan yang membantu kita untuk mencapai target jangka pendek (tabungan berjangka, reksadana pasar uang, deposito) dan jangka panjang (logam mulia, property, reksadana saham).   Punya rencana segudang, pengen traveling, pengen beli ini itu, tapi gak pernah kesampean. Ujung – ujungnya nyalahin gaji yang gak pernah cukup sampe akhir bulan. Hmmm, coba dibikin dulu breakdown pengeluaran sebulannya. Berani (jujur) gak? Yang diperlukan bukan cuma itung-itungan. Tapi revolusi mental. Siap?  x))

Jangan lupa mampir ke web penulis buat Financial Check Up dan baca tips – tips menarik soal perencanaan keuangan.

Setelah tidak sengaja menemukan Kina Grannis di Youtube dan lagu “Valentine-nya” sempat menghuni playlist saya selama beberapa bulan. Saya meneruskan hunting penyanyi jebolan Youtube dan mencari lagu lain yang bisa saya add di playlist– that’s how I found Daniela Andrade. Penyanyi asal Kanada yang berhasil mengcover lagu Crazy in Love nya Beyonce menjadi versi akustik yang cantik dengan angelic voicenya. Enjoy :)

Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never be yours.

"Love or Infatuation" by Ann Landers

Love is an upper. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before.

Infatuation is instant desire. It is one set of glands calling to another. Love is friendship that has caught fire. It takes root and grows-one day at a time.

Infatuation is marked by a feeling of insecurity. You are excited and eager, but genuinely unhappy. There are nagging doubts, unanswered questions, little bits and pieces about your beloved that you would just as soon not examine too closely. They might spoil the dream.

Love is quiet understanding and the mature acceptance of imperfection. It is real. It gives strength and grows beyond you to bolster your beloved. You are warmed by his presence, even when he is away. Miles do not separate you. You want him nearer. But near of far, you know he is yours and you can wait.

Infatuation says, “We must get married right away. I can’t risk of losing him.”

Love says, “Be patient. Don’t panic. He is yours. Plan your future with confidence.”

Infatuation lacks confidence. When he’s away, you wonder if he’s cheating. Sometimes you even check.

Love means trust. You are calm, secure and unthreatened. He feels that trust and it makes him even more trustworthy.

Infatuation might lead you to do things you’ll regret later, but love never will.

Love is an upper. It makes you look up. It makes you think up. It makes you a better person than you were before.

"Now consider this: life is the coffee, and the jobs, money & position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life and do not change the quality of life. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee provided. So, don't let the cups drive you, enjoy the coffee instead"

I don't understand. One man caused all this trouble?

(Bruno at The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, 2008)

Ok,memang telat (banget) karena baru nonton film ini setahun yang lalu, itupun juga atas rekomendasi dari teman.Saya emang gak pernah update soal film. Maklum bioskop cuma ada 2 disini (ok. stop. excuse). Anyway, film ini menceritakan tentang pesahabatan 2 orang anak dengan latar belakang Perang Dunia II. Bruno, adalah anak dari jendral tentara Jerman dan Shmuel, anak dr kaum yahudi yg saat itu sedang ada di kamp konsentrasi. Film ini diambil dari sudut pandang Bruno yang polos. Note: Siap tissue, siap mewek.

Ryan Bingham: If you think about it, your favorite memories, the most important moments in your life... were you alone? Jim Miller: No, I guess not. Ryan Bingham: Hey, come to think of it, last night, the night before your wedding, when all this shit is swirling around in your head, weren't you guys sleeping in separate bedrooms? Jim Miller: Yeah, Julie went back to the apartment, and I was just by myself in the honeymoon suite. Ryan Bingham: Kind of lonely, huh? Jim Miller: Yes, it was pretty lonely. Ryan Bingham: Life's better with company. Jim Miller: Yeah. ("Up In The Air", 2009)

School of Life

Minke: Mama, permit me to ask.. Mama graduated from which school?

Nyai Ontosoroh: School? As far as I can remember I've never gone to school.

Minke: How's that possible? Mama speaks, reads and maybe also writes Dutch. How is that possible without schooling?

Nyai Ontosoroh: Why not? Life can give everything to whomever tries to understand and is willing to receive new knowledge.
