Yup...That's what have been happening to me lately. The busy schedule which gave me only limited time to explore the thoughts that were swimming in my mind plus laziness kept me away from writing a new entry. Well...I guess it's also because I didn't have that something that motivated me, that pushed me to write. Now, I have the urge to write. The urge so powerful that I felt a bit overwhelmed in deciding where should I begin this entry.
First of all, I'd like to thank you..so much...it's been a long time...I thought you might have forgotten me, I thought you might have moved on...as an opening, allow me to present Darren Hayes
Darren Hayes - The Lover After Me
Next....a good friend of mine had officially became a father on the last week of May. Congrats for him. He had started a new phase in his life. He became a husband two years ago, and this year...a son was born to make his life even fuller. It's unfortunate that I hadn't got the time to see my 'nephew'.
The rest of the missing period here was quite dull and like I said earlier, didn't succeed to move me to write. What I'd like to write was about the last weekend. After so long, I finally watched Kristin Laura Kreuk in action again. It's been a while since the last time I saw her and my infatuation had faded away over the time. Eight years almost passed since the first time I saw her in Smallville but she's still lovely and her nose still wrinkled each time she laughed...and yes I still saw her as Lana, instead of Huang Chun-Li.
The day before I also watched Star Trek @eX. Lately eX had been my destination to watch movie. It's the most comfortable theather I ever been to in Jakarta. Star Trek on the other hand was very good. JJ Abrams was remarkable in directing it. Good story, excellent visual effects, and as usual touching moral messages with a twist of humor. It's kinda funny (at least for me) to see Sylar (played by Zachary Quinto) in Heroes...the number one bad guy, became Spock, the most logical, intelligent, non emotional person in Star Trek. Seeing Spock in Star Trek made me think about what a friend of mine used to say, that I was too logical and emotionless....perhaps... I had Vulcan blood? :D
The truth is, everybody has emotions, everybody feels...I guess that's the thing with human duality. We are individual, yet social being....We're logical, yet emotional creature....We're evolving way more than any other species in the world, yet at times we're acting like the most primitive one.
In a higher, more sophisticated thought, I'd like to offer this analogy to capture a glimpse of Trinity. One God, three personalities....how come? Is it even possible? Well...looking at our own paradox, it's not so impossible, right? Beside I believe there are things that are much greater that human, that we cannot cope or try to understand with our limited space of brain.
Ok enough with the heavy one. It's open up for a debate if you like. Yesterday, a friend of mine also got married. I've known her since Elementary school. That's quite some time to know a person. Most of my friends from Jr. High was invited and we had like this little reunion on her wedding reception. Eleven years had passed since we graduated from the same Jr High we attended. Most of us (all) didn't change a lot. Even some friends met another friend whom they hadn't met in years. The highlight of the reception was good MC and her. She looked lovely, as always. I think I never seen her looked unlovely.
Before I went to the reception, I also met a friend whom I hadn't met in... I forgot how many months. It had been over 6 months for sure. It's nice to see her again and we had so much to talk about. So many things to catch up with each other. It's good to know that she's doing fine and her family was well. Too bad we only had limited time since I had to go to the wedding reception.
I met some friends I haven't met in a while on the wedding reception. I had to thank Facebook for reuniting us again. It's amazing how we could find each other through Facebook. It really become a trend here. On the wedding one my my homies half sad, half desperate, jokingly asked....When is our turn? *lolzz....Well....the two others have found a girl and now it's just the two of us, Aquarian guys who still in the market, looking for someone to be the lucky bride :D
After the reception we hung out for a while @La Piazza. A friend mentioned that she wanted to convert to Catholic, an intention which I strongly suggest for her to thoroughly consider before making any decision. Converting is not as simple as changing clothes. When the model is out, or all of your friends have changed their clothing style...would you change yours? It's not about being the same with the flock, but standing up for what you believe in. What you have faith in. Blessings do not automatically fall down from the sky and shower you when you convert.....it might be the other way around. To ensure your motive, to test you. Do not convert for the sake of comfort, or trend, or going with the flow. Be sure that it comes from the depth of your heart.
Here's a song from Savage Garden, I remember the first I ever heard their song was back in 1998, I borrowed the cassette from my friend.
Savage Garden - The Lover After Me
Here I go again, I promised myself
I wouldn't think of you today
It's been seven months and counting
You've moved on
I still feel exactly the same
It's just the that everywhere I go
All the buildings know your name like
Photographs and memories of love
Steel and granite reminders
The city calls your name and I can't move on
Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me
Am I all alone in the universe?
There's no love on these streets
I have given mine away to a world
That didn't want it anyway
So this is my new freedom
It's funny, but I don't remember being chained
But nothing seems to make sense anymore
Without you I'm always twenty minutes late
Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me
And time goes by so slowly
The nights are cold and lonely
I shouldn't be holding on
But I'm still holding on for you
Here I go again, I promised myself
I wouldn't think of you today
But I'm standing at your doorway
I'm calling out your name 'cause I can't move on
Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me
