Left Out


Have you ever felt being left out?
You thought they're dear to heart,
but they didn't think of you as hard.

You used to share many things together.
Now they seem to be stranger than ever.
Shouldn't you be best friends forever?

You didn't know what they're thinking.
They neither gave you birthday greeting,
nor congratulating and come to your wedding.

You initiated to ask "how are you?"
They basically just ignored you,
and never put themselves in your shoe.

You're feeling hurt and disappointed.
Wished friendship could be mended.
But all were gone without anticipated.

Song from The Real band (Cinta/Love)

Ada cinta yang buahkan luka
Dan buatmu bahagia
Jalanin kisah hidup

Dengan cinta manusia tertawa
Manusia menangis
Rasakan kalamnya cinta

Reff:
Cinta bisa jadi surga
Cinta bisa jadi neraka
Tapi cinta itu hasrat manusia

Cinta bisa buat suka
Cinta bisa juga buat luka
Tapi kita tetap butuh cinta

Semua karena cinta
Jangan salahkan cinta
Semua karena cinta
Jangan salahkan cinta

Back to Reff:

Ada cinta yang buahkan luka
Dan buatmu bahagia
Jalanin kisah hidupmu

Dengan cinta manusia tertawa
Manusia menangis
Rasakan kalamnya cinta

Nana.. nana.. nana.. nana..

Love Idioms in Any Language

I found this article on http://www.alsintl.com/blog/love-idioms/about love idioms in different language. I think it is so romantic and cute. Maybe you can check it out. :)

Be Sweet

You might have heard the popular idiom, “You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.” It’s a common English phrase that means you can accomplish the most by being sweet — a tactic that makes this an appropriate love idiom.

But German speakers might be familiar with another variation of the phrase: “Wer Bären fangen will, muss sich mit Honig versehen.” The German translation of the love idiom replaces flies with bears, saying, “He who wants to catch bears must have honey.”

Notice Me

When you’re in love from afar, it might seem like the object of your affection will never turn your way. The Japanese have a love idiom to describe that distant figure: “takana no hana.”

The phrase literally means “a flower on a high peak,” which can refer to any faraway or unattainable object. But the expression can also be a love idiom for those who are looking to catch someone’s eye.

I Miss You

There are many ways to say “I miss you” in English, but nothing quite as poetic as the Chinese equivalent. A popular four-character love idiom in Chinese is 一 日三 秋 (yí rì sān qiū), meaning, “One day, three autumns.”

This love idiom illustrates that common sentiment that times seems to slow when you’re missing someone — when one day can feel as long as three years.

I Have a Crush on You

In the US, someone developing an infatuation might say he or she has a “crush.” But in Australia, this love idiom is a little different than its American English counterpart.

If you have a crush in Australia, you might say you’re “cracking onto” someone. This love idiom can mean anything from beginning to flirt with someone to starting to pursue someone seriously.

Even though countries may speak the same language, this regional love idiom proves the crucial point that localizing a message to a target audience is essential for accurate translation.

Love at First Sight

To express the feeling of love at first sight, we might say that we’ve been “shot through the heart” or are hit by “Cupid’s arrow.” But the French translation for this love idiom is being struck by a “coup de foudre” — a lightning bolt.

I’m in Love

Americans might say they’ve “taken the plunge,” ” fallen head over heels” or “gone crazy” for someone when they’ve fallen in love. In Russian, the love idiom is, “По уши влюбиться” (“po yshi vlubitsya”).

Although it literally translates to “to fall in love up to your ears,” the love idiom means “to fall in love deeply.”

The Way I Am

Lately I like to hear the song "The Way I Am" from Ingrid Michaelson. It is a short song, but the lyrics and tune are so catchy. I even made my own version of the song. I changed the lyrics a little bit, to fit my boyfriend. hahaha. Here is the original lyrics:

If you were falling, then I would catch you
You need a light, I'd find a match

Cuz I love the way you say good morning
And you take me the way I am

If you are chilly, here take my sweater
Your head is aching; I'll make it better

Cuz I love the way you call me baby
And you take me the way I am

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair
Sew on patches to all you tear

Cuz I love you more than I could ever promise
And you take me the way I am
You take me the way I am
You take me the way I am

And this is my version of the song. I have tried to sing this with the original song and it's fit, the only thing I don't change is the sentence "you take me the way I am" :

If you were angry, then I would calm you
You feeling cold, I'll make you warm

Cuz I love the way you say it's depend
And you take me the way I am

If you are tired, I will massage you
Your head is full; I'll make you chill

Cuz I love the way you call me honey
And you take me the way I am

I'd buy you new pants when you start adding on your paunch
Bring in you stuff when you're lazy

Cuz I love you more than you could ever thinking
And you take me the way I am
You take me the way I am
You take me the way I am

Happy Valentine!

This poem is dedicated for my boyfriend, hopefully you like this honey... xoxoxo

Dear my honey,
you make me feel homey.
I want to be closed with you,
cause I always miss you.

I like when you are caring,
you make my heart melting.
I wish you can say more wording,
cause that's what you're lacking.

I know you're not romantic,
but for me you're still fantastic.
Maybe you just need a little corny,
so you can express your feeling on me.

Don't take me wrong darling.
I don't demand you anything.
You know women won't ask men for something.
But, surely we are happy if you are initiating.

You may not be my first valentine,
but from now on you forever be my valentine.
Happy valentine!
Love you, my hairy paunchy valentine...

Dating Advice For Modern Women

I read about this article from relationshiproadblocks.com that basically writes about modern dating from a male perspective. It says that men have 4 beliefs about modern woman wants and thinks in a dating situation.

1. Women have changed their attitude and approach to dating. Men believe that women now days want the equality with men, but without taking responsibility for it.
2. Women crave equal pay checks, but, at what price? Women want to make as much money as men, but they still expect men to pay when they go out.
3. The independent woman conundrum. Women want to have their freedom only when it's convenient to them. They expect their men to be there when they need him.
4. What happened to femininity? A lot of men feel that women aren't acting like women anymore. Women has lost their softer and femininity. They have become uncompromising and calculating 21st century counterpart.

What do you think? Is it true? Hmmm from my opinion as a woman, I feel it's kinda offensive towards women. Personally I don't see myself the same, though I have to admit that some women are changing to become like that. Basically it depends on each woman's belief and point of view because what they do will based on her life's principle.

I think for no 1 women just want her partner to respect her and treat her nicely. However, men always as the head of the relationship so he still has to bear the responsibility.

For equal pay checks, I don't think it's wrong for women to have ambition to earn as much as men. If women have the same skills and do the job as good as men, I think it's a fair thing to pay them the same. On the other hand, about expecting men to pay on dating, I don't think all women expect that, except if she has a rich guy.

Next is about being independent. I believe although a woman is really independent, she still needs a man to comfort and protect her, because that's the way God design man and woman, to be in need and helpful for each other. If a woman wants a freedom when it's convinient to her, maybe she is just a selfish girl, so you cannot pick her to be the representative of all women.

Lastly is about femininity. I think this is related with being equal with men. Maybe some women just forget to balance out their equality with her nature to be feminime and subbmisive to men. However, I know for sure that there are still a lot of women who know how to balance out.

New Love

New year is starting,
new life is going.
New love is coming,
new story is beginning.

Love came unexpectedly,
it felt so fast and so suddenly.
Closing my year beautifully,
hope it will last endlessly.

Together we start the journey of love,
with the blessing from up above.
Prepare our heart for the happy and sad,
cause we will face our good and bad.
