Giliran dia masih hidup.......
lagu2nya dibilang sesat..
dituduh phedophil atau gila..
wajah dan penampilannya diejek dan dicela..
Giliran dia sudah meninggal.........
lagu2nya berkumandang dimana2...
dimana2 orang menangisi kematiannya...
doppelgängernya muncul di setiap tempat....
baju2nya bisa mencapai ribuan euro di ebay....
semua acara televisi membahas biografinya....
semua orang meratapi kepergiannya sambil mengingat masa kejayaannya dan lupa akan kekurangannya yang ditertawakan beberapa waktu sebelumnya...
memang dasar manusia.....

The Princess and The Frog
Akhirnya Walt Disney memproduksi film kartun klasik (dan musical) lagi. Beberapa tahun terakhir film animasi 3D memang lebih mengguncang dunia... dengan cerita yang lebih modern dan tanpa harus bosan setiap kali sang tokoh mulai bernyanyi... tapi, kalau boleh terus terang... ternyata yang klasik juga ngangenin. Makanya gue seneng banget waktu melihat trailernya "The Princess and The Frog"... walaupun kayaknya ceritanya bakal melenceng jauh banget dari cerita aslinya.
Ngomong2 soal cerita asli, kadang cerita dongeng itu gak semuanya indah seperti yang digambarkan Walt Disney (contoh gampangnya cerita Little Mermaid yang dibikin happy ending). Karena penasaran sama cerita dongeng asli tentang pangeran kodok ini, gue cari2 di google dan menemukan versi aslinya... (sumber: www.eastoftheweb.com)
The Frog Prince by Brothers Grimm
One fine evening a young princess put on her bonnet and clogs, and went out to take a walk by herself in a wood; and when she came to a cool spring of water with a rose in the middle of it, she sat herself down to rest a while. Now she had a golden ball in her hand, which was her favourite plaything; and she was always tossing it up into the air, and catching it again as it fell.
After a time she threw it up so high that she missed catching it as it fell; and the ball bounded away, and rolled along on the ground, until at last it fell down into the spring. The princess looked into the spring after her ball, but it was very deep, so deep that she could not see the bottom of it. She began to cry, and said, 'Alas! if I could only get my ball again, I would give all my fine clothes and jewels, and everything that I have in the world.'
Whilst she was speaking, a frog put its head out of the water, and said, 'Princess, why do you weep so bitterly?'
'Alas!' said she, 'what can you do for me, you nasty frog? My golden ball has fallen into the spring.'
The frog said, 'I do not want your pearls, and jewels, and fine clothes; but if you will love me, and let me live with you and eat from off your golden plate, and sleep on your bed, I will bring you your ball again.'
'What nonsense,' thought the princess, 'this silly frog is talking! He can never even get out of the spring to visit me, though he may be able to get my ball for me, and therefore I will tell him he shall have what he asks.'
So she said to the frog, 'Well, if you will bring me my ball, I will do all you ask.'
Then the frog put his head down, and dived deep under the water; and after a little while he came up again, with the ball in his mouth, and threw it on the edge of the spring. As soon as the young princess saw her ball, she ran to pick it up; and she was so overjoyed to have it in her hand again, that she never thought of the frog, but ran home with it as fast as she could.
The frog called after her, 'Stay, princess, and take me with you as you said,'
But she did not stop to hear a word.
The next day, just as the princess had sat down to dinner, she heard a strange noise - tap, tap - plash, plash - as if something was coming up the marble staircase, and soon afterwards there was a gentle knock at the door, and a little voice cried out and said:
'Open the door, my princess dear,
Open the door to thy true love here!
And mind the words that thou and I said
By the fountain cool, in the greenwood shade.'
Then the princess ran to the door and opened it, and there she saw the frog, whom she had quite forgotten. At this sight she was sadly frightened, and shutting the door as fast as she could came back to her seat. The king, her father, seeing that something had frightened her, asked her what was the matter.
'There is a nasty frog,' said she, 'at the door, that lifted my ball for me out of the spring this morning. I told him that he should live with me here, thinking that he could never get out of the spring; but there he is at the door, and he wants to come in.'
While she was speaking the frog knocked again at the door, and said:
'Open the door, my princess dear,
Open the door to thy true love here!
And mind the words that thou and I said
By the fountain cool, in the greenwood shade.'
Then the king said to the young princess, 'As you have given your word you must keep it; so go and let him in.'
She did so, and the frog hopped into the room, and then straight on - tap, tap - plash, plash - from the bottom of the room to the top, till he came up close to the table where the princess sat.
'Pray lift me upon chair,' said he to the princess, 'and let me sit next to you.'
As soon as she had done this, the frog said, 'Put your plate nearer to me, that I may eat out of it.'
This she did, and when he had eaten as much as he could, he said, 'Now I am tired; carry me upstairs, and put me into your bed.' And the princess, though very unwilling, took him up in her hand, and put him upon the pillow of her own bed, where he slept all night long.
As soon as it was light the frog jumped up, hopped downstairs, and went out of the house.
'Now, then,' thought the princess, 'at last he is gone, and I shall be troubled with him no more.'
But she was mistaken; for when night came again she heard the same tapping at the door; and the frog came once more, and said:
'Open the door, my princess dear,
Open the door to thy true love here!
And mind the words that thou and I said
By the fountain cool, in the greenwood shade.'
And when the princess opened the door the frog came in, and slept upon her pillow as before, till the morning broke. And the third night he did the same. But when the princess awoke on the following morning she was astonished to see, instead of the frog, a handsome prince, gazing on her with the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen and standing at the head of her bed.
He told her that he had been enchanted by a spiteful fairy, who had changed him into a frog; and that he had been fated so to abide till some princess should take him out of the spring, and let him eat from her plate, and sleep upon her bed for three nights.
'You,' said the prince, 'have broken his cruel charm, and now I have nothing to wish for but that you should go with me into my father's kingdom, where I will marry you, and love you as long as you live.'
The young princess, you may be sure, was not long in saying 'Yes' to all this; and as they spoke a brightly coloured coach drove up, with eight beautiful horses, decked with plumes of feathers and a golden harness; and behind the coach rode the prince's servant, faithful Heinrich, who had bewailed the misfortunes of his dear master during his enchantment so long and so bitterly, that his heart had well-nigh burst.
They then took leave of the king, and got into the coach with eight horses, and all set out, full of joy and merriment, for the prince's kingdom, which they reached safely; and there they lived happily a great many years.
Hmmm... kinda lame huh? akhir ceritanya memang agak2 maksa sih... tapi setidaknya punya sedikit moral of the story: Janji itu harus selalu ditepati... dan berkat itu, seekor kodok pun bisa jadi seorang pangeran :)
Eniwei.. gue gak tau kenapa cerita diatas bisa jadi agak lain dengan cerita yang lebih dikenal sekarang: putrinya harus cium kodoknya dulu baru bisa berubah jadi pangeran.
Di Wikipedia sih tertulis begini:
A popular phrase related to this story is, "You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your handsome prince." It is used to encourage females who have romance troubles.
Sewaktu gue baca Wikipedia yang bahasa Jerman, ternyata infonya lebih komplit lagi. Jadi, cerita di atas itu (mungkin karena terjemahan ke bahasa Inggris juga), ternyata agak lain sama yang gue baca di wikipedia ini... walaupun sama2 ceritanya si Brothers Grimm juga.
Alur ceritanya sama sampai si putri membawa si kodok ke tempat tidurnya. Karena merasa terlalu jijik, si putri melempar si kodok ke dinding, dan tiba2 si kodok berubah menjadi pangeran.
Aneh banget ya?
Lalu di Wikipedia juga dijelaskan maksud dan arti di balik dongeng tersebut. Ternyata, cerita ini dapat diintepretasikan begini:
Sang Putri yang menggambarkan anak gadis menjelang masa2 puber. Dimana sebelumnya ia melihat lawan jenisnya (laki2) tidak menarik dan seperti binatang asing (digambarkan seperti kodok). Selama "masa pencarian jati diri", si gadis bertemu dengan lelaki yang menolongnya sewaktu dalam kesulitan. "Makan dari piring yang sama" dan "tidur bersama" menggambarkan hubungan intim diantara mereka yang membuat si gadis menjadi lebih dewasa dan matang, dan gambarannya tentang laki2 menjadi berubah (dari kodok menjadi pangeran).

Being an amateur plumber
Gue pengen cerita sedikit tentang kejadian 2 minggu yang lalu...
Abis berendem, bathtub gue mampet total, airnya gak turun2 sampe keesokan harinya. Untung punya gayung (bawa dari indo), jadi airnya bisa dibuang pake gayung ke wc. Ody jg lagi cabut ke Amrik, jadi gak ada laki2 yg bisa diandelin buat disuruh2 benerin sesuatu. Hari itu jg tanggal merah dan besoknya juga sudah akhir minggu, jadi gak bisa panggil tukang sampai hari Senin tiba.
Eniwei... dengan mengandalkan zat kimia yg terlihat menjanjikan, gue berharap masalahnya bisa terselesaikan. Dan ternyata setelah menghabiskan satu botol granulat dan menunggu satu setengah hari, saluran pipanya masih mampet juga.
Beberapa hari itu cuaca panas terik, sehingga gak memungkinkan gue buat gak mandi juga... akhirnya setelah mandi, airnya (lagi2) gue buang ke kloset. Karena malas melakukan hal yang sama sampai hari Senin, akhirnya Google pun turun tangan.
Thanks to Google, gue menemukan beberapa forum yang membahas tentang macetnya pipa2 saluran yang sering terjadi di kamar mandi. Kadang waktu baca forum harus agak hati2, soalnya istilahnya agak mixed sama kasus susah buang air besar (pencernaan mampet?).
Eniwei, menurut orang2, sebenarnya kita harus menghindari zat2 kimia... karena bukannya membantu malah bikin makin mampet dan dapat merusak pipa saluran. Herannya kenapa para produsen masih berani2nya memproduksi dan menjual? (jawabannya mungkin supaya mereka bisa dapet duit dari pembeli yang desperate seperti gue).
Air mendidih merupakan salah satu solusi terbaik... katanya.... dan setelah gue coba, ternyata masih gak membantu juga... tapi memang lumayan membantu mengangkat kotoran2 yang menggumpal di dalam pipa...
Menurut forum yang lain, harus pake air mendidih PLUS plunger (gak tau bahasa indonya apa, tapi itu loh... senjatanya si mario bross... tongkat yang ujungnya ada buletan merah dari karet yang bisa bunyi "cepok-cepok")...
dan.... berhasil!
tips manjur banget ternyata!
Berkat plunger, gue gak harus bayar biaya tukang (yang mungkin bisa sampai ratusan euro)....
well.....
Sedia payung sebelum hujan
dan sedia plunger sebelum mampet... :p

Maaf, bisa kasih liat KTPnya?
Bertanya soal umur memang menjadi hal yang (semakin) sensitif buat gue. Mungkin kata pepatah memang benar, bahwa bertanya tentang usia kepada seorang wanita merupakan sesuatu yang tabu.... di negara manapun... di kultur apapun....
Mempunyai tampang asia di negaranya orang bule kadang memang gak gampang. Kenapa? karena kita sering dianggap dibawah umur. Tapi... kalau dipikir2, gak semua temen2 indo/asia yang gue kenal mengalami nasib malang seperti gue, yang selalu dicegat di depan club buat diminta KTP atau dipelototin pelayan sewaktu memesan segelas bir. Sedihnya lagi, waktu di indo pun gue juga sering mengalami hal yang sama....
Flash back sedikit... taon 2007 di sebuah klinik....
Suster : mau test darah ya?
Gue : iya, mbak....
Suster : Aduh kasian... pucet begitu... jadi gak sekolah dong...
Gue : ..........(diam sebentar)... iya, mbak....
Suster : Adek kelas berapa?
Gue : 2 SMA...
Dan nyokap yang berdiri di sebelah gue langsung ketawa ngakak.....
Eniwei... begini lah nasih bertampang baby-face.... kadang emang sebel juga, tapi di lubuk hati yang paling dalam sebenernya justru malah seneng... soalnya siapa tau gue punya bakat jadi awet muda. Setidaknya dianggap lebih muda lebih enak didengar daripada dikira sudah lebih berumur...
Mengingat waktu yang berlari seperti dikejar setan... tanpa peduli kita bisa ikutan berlari mengikuti mereka atau terjatuh dan tertinggal... Dan sebentar lagi umur gue sudah seperempat abad... dan pertanyaannya udah bukan "sudah berapa lama saya hidup?", tapi "sudah tinggal berapa waktu yang tersisa untuk saya menikmati hidup?"...
Gue berpikir...
Ketika melihat berita tentang spekulasi2 kemana arahnya teknologi
"apakah di saat barang itu tercipta, gue masih bisa hidup untuk menikmatinya?"...
Ketika melihat para manula
"apakah beberapa puluh tahun lagi gue bakal masih tetap hidup dan menjadi seperti mereka?"
Ketika melihat ada seseorang yang meninggal di usia muda
"apakah gue bakal mati muda juga?"
dst, dst, dst....
Hmmm.. jadi serem sendiri kan?
Dan sekarang ada 2 pilihan di depan mata....
Stop sebentar dan berjalan perlahan menikmati hidup yang cuman sekali ini...
atau berlari mengejar cita2 sebelum batas waktu yang diberikan habis... (lagi2 hidup cuman sekali... dan gak akan ada kesempatan berikutnya)
Sekarang, gue mungkin boleh ketawa2 kalau disangka masih dibawah 18 tahun..... Bahkan sering kepikiran buat iseng jadi anak SMA lagi... Sekaligus berharap kulit ini gak akan pernah keriput, rambut tidak akan memutih, tulang tidak akan keropos, mata tidak akan menjadi rabun, telinga tidak akan menjadi tuli, dan semua tetap seperti sekarang ini....
Manusia... manusia...... gak akan pernah puas...........

Voice Within
well... i wasn't a big fan of christina aguilera... but i guess i am now...
awalnya sih gara2 bosen dengerin koleksi mp3 di komputer, trus akhirnya malah ngejadiin youtube sebagai gantinya winamp... click dari satu artist ke artist yang lain... dan bbrp jam ini "nyangkut" di lagu2nya christina... n gara2 itu jadi "ngeh" kalo lagu2nya dia liriknya bagus2 n kata2nya dalem...
"Voice Within" is one of my favorite... soalnya cukup mewakilkan segala perasaan n gejolak yg gue hadapi beberapa bulan terakhir... menghadapi berbagai masalah dan jalan buntu dimana gak ada orang lain yang bisa bantuin gue selain diri gue sendiri... dan setiap kali gue hampir menyerah, selalu ada suara dari dalam hati yang bilang, "come on... you can make it!! and you must overcome it!! ...just face it and don't run away anymore!!"...
well it helps alot...
Young girl don't cry
I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
Young girl it's alright
Your tears will dry, you'll soon be free to fly
When you're safe inside your room you tend to dream
Of a place where nothing's harder than it seems
No one ever wants or bothers to explain
Of the heartache life can bring and what it means
When there's no one else, look inside yourself
Like your oldest friend just trust the voice within
Then you'll find the strength that will guide your way
You'll learn to begin to trust the voice within
Young girl don't hide
You'll never change if you just run away
Young girl just hold tight
Soon you're gonna see your brighter day
Now in a world where innocence is quickly claimed
It's so hard to stand your ground when you're so afraid
No one reaches out a hand for you to hold
When you look outside look inside to your soul
Life is a journey
It can take you anywhere you choose to go
As long as you're learning
You'll find all you'll ever need to know
You'll break it
You'll make it
Just don't forsake it because
No one can tell you what you can't do
No one can stop you, you know that I'm talking to you
Young girl don't cry... I'll be right here when your world starts to fall
