Indonesian Oldies

Kalau ngomongin soal lagu jadul Indonesia, gue suka banyak banget. Sangking gue sangat sering dengerin lagu-lagu jadul, baik barat maupun Indo, teman-teman gue sampe ngatain gue manusia lawas. Lol! Sebenarnya gue nggak selawas itu kok. Tapi gue akuin lagu jadul itu emang awwwh mostly enak-enak dan semua musisi masih punya kekhasannya masing-masing. Well, here is my favourite Indonesian old songs:

1. Protonema - Terlalu Cinta


2. Arwana - Kunanti


3. Katon Bagaskara - Dinda Dimana


4. Anggun - Tua Tua Keladi, Still Reminds Me



5. Lingua - Bila Kuingat


6. Kla Project - Yogyakarta


7. Nugie - Pelukis Malam


8. Hedi Yunus - Prahara Cinta


9. Bunglon - Kau, Denganmu, & Dulu




 10. Utha Likumahuwa - Tersiksa Lagi


11. Vina Panduwinata - Surat Cinta, Logika



12. Krakatau - Gemilang
Gue yakin semuanya udah pada denger lagu ini yang dinyanyiin oleh Andien. Nah, ini lagu aslinya :)


13. Warna - 50 Tahun Lagi, Rindu Ini, & Sinaran



 

14. Oppie Andaresta - Cuma Khayalan


15. The Groove - Satu Mimpiku
Semua lagu The Groove gue suka banget! Tapi emang ini yang paling gue suka dengerin.


16. T-Five - Kau

For Perfection Seekers


Bride Wars is an American romantic comedy film released in 2009. I'm pretty sure most of you have already seen it. Too bad I have to admit that I've just watched this movie for the first time. Yet it's not a big deal, isn't it?

This movie is about two best friends become rivals when they schedule their respective weddings on the same day (Source: IMDb). I'm not reviewing. I just want to make my own conclusion from this movie which any of us could probably learn from it.

What I learned from this movie is:

If being perfect becomes a competition, there won't be the winner.

There was a part when Liv said, "It's exhausting having to try to be perfect all the time."
"Perfect" may have different meanings to each person. But it has actually got no standards to define perfect itself. Thereupon all people seem to compete for getting the perfection, which they don't even know how it is like. Instead of winning that perfection, they end up bringing them down one another. And it will never ever end unless they realize they have lost their own happiness, for example a very good friend, by doing this kind of stupid competition.

Aren't you tired to see people fighting each other because of racing to win something they both will not get? In other words, they fight for nothing.

It is good to be a competitive person though. I myself confess that I am the kind of person who's ambitious enough. But it's not something perfect that I look for. The more you look for perfection, the more you'll never find it. Perfection is owned by nobody. Plan what you are going to do, what you are going to be based on what you want without comparing yourself to others. Go get yourself still having fun as much as you can while you're organizing your future.

Perhaps, people just have a wrong perception in life. It's actually not something perfect they want, but it's how great the efforts they make to become what they want. Kamali a.k.a Lyrikal says, "Try to expect nothing, but be open for anything. Don't look for happiness, but don't settle for anything less." So, go reset your mind. Get rid of thinking how to be perfect. Let yourself make a goal to be reached, then make another higher goal after reaching the first one, make another again, make again, make again, and so on!
