another "sad" picture

kayaknya gw hampir selalu motret peti mati klo gw post berita duka cita ya. anyway, ini dia, si oom drety. salah satu org plg lucu & plg rame di matuari waya. selamat jalan, oom. i'm sure you're resting in peace.

why oh why

pagi ini gw bangun, mandi, siap2, dan pergi ke kantor dgn perasaan sediiiiiiiih banget. dunno why. gw curiga mgkn ada hubnya dgn kejadian minggu lalu. tp kok telat ya? perasaan itu terus gw buang jauh2 deh. tapi tetap aja sedih.

then the news came: oom drety dotulong meninggal! ya ampun... si oom ini, salah satu org plg lucu di matuari waya. duh, klo gak ada dia, tuh kumpulan gak rame deh. dan gw jg udah cukup lama gak ktemu dia, soalnya dia belakangan ini lebih sering tinggal di manado. what a loss. i'm certainly missing him.

me & my big mouth

The Prayer / La Preghiera

I pray you'll be our eyes, and watch us where we go. And help us to be wise in times when we don't know. Let this be our prayer, when we lose our way. Lead us to a place, guide us with your grace To a place where we'll be safe.

La luce che tu dai nel cuore restera a ricordarci che l'eterna stella sei.

I pray we'll find your light, and hold it in our hearts When stars go out each night, remind us where you are..

Nella mia preghiera quanta fede c'e. Lead us to a place

Let this be our prayer when shadows fill our day guide us with your grace

Give us faith so we'll be safe.

Sogniamo un mondo senza piu violenza,
un mondo di giustizia e di speranza.
Ognuno dia una mano al suo vicino,
simbolo di pace...di fraternita.

La forza che ci dai e desiderio te ognuno trovi amor intorno e dentro se. Let this be our prayer, just like every child.

We ask that life be kind and watch us from above. We hope each soul will find another soul to love. Let this be our prayer, just like every child.

Needs to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede che hai acceso in noi
sento che ci salverai.....

lirik lagu di atas, mgkn udah pada tau ya. the prayer-nya celine dion & andrea bocelli. lagunya enak banget. bisa dinyanyiin wkt nikah, natal, ato perayaan2 laennya. gw udah janji ke tirza utk nyanyi lagu ini di nikahan dia. dan gw jg udah nemu partner, alda. partiturnya jg udah dapet dari alda.

ternyata, nyanyi sambil denger mp3 ato cdnya itu jauuuuuuuuuh lebih gampang dibanding nyanyi dgn baik dan benar, alias ngikutin notasi partitur. dan selama ini jg, ternyata klo gw nyanyi, gw tuh ngikutin celine dion, bukan andrea. notabene andrea, being a tenor, nyanyi dgn nada yg lebih tinggi dari celine. me, i'm a bass! oh no! nyampe sih nyampe lah, cuma perlu latian keras aja nih.

problemnya lagi, tirza udah ngeplot the prayer utk jadi lagu pas dia & suaminya msk ke ruang resepsi. argh! ini bener2 sangat menantang. dan semuanya gara2 my big mouth. hehehe...

death

gw kyknya gak bosen2 ya ngomongin kematian. nah, hari ini adik dari melanie, temen gw di psgp, meninggal, krn kecelakaan. kasian banget ya, tragis gitu. ya bayangin aja, pamit utk pergi jalan2 sama temen2, terus balik udah dlm keadaan "lurus".

gw bukan pengen ngomongin soal adiknya melanie, soalnya gw sendiri gak kenal dia. tp, mo gak mo gw lgs kebayang dgn kecelakaan gw dulu. mgkn malah lebih parah ya. bedanya, gw gak msh hidup, adiknya melanie meninggal. klo mnrt citra, adiknya melanie ini orgnya baik banget, sopan, dsb. berarti emang bener ya, org baik itu cepet dipanggil Tuhan. mgkn spy gak sempet jadi jahat.

that brings me to myself. how blessed i am ya. udah mo dibilang sekarat lah, apa lah, i'm still here. gw msh diperlukan utk ngelakuin sesuatu nih, whatever they are. apesnya, kok gw gak sadar2 ya. bikin dosa mulu nih. jadi malu.

Point of Grace

I Choose You

All our mind's attention
All our hearts affection
Every heart-cry, every rhyme
Everybody's worshipping something

All our life's devotion
Has been set in motion
Religions dozen for a dime
Everybody's worshipping something

'Cause that's what we were made to do

Chorus
And I choose You
All my attention, affection
And all my devotion's for You
If everybody's worshipping something
I choose You

You are beyond conception
Defying definition
And You knew me before time

Centuries of pagans
Idols fill the nations
But You are Lord to me and mine
Everybody's worshipping something

'Cause that's what we were made to do...oh oh

Chorus

Before I chose You, You first chose me
I worship You, You alone are worthy

You alone deserve it-all of my worship
Lord I choose You
