82nd Academy Award : Nominee

There's 10 best-picture nominee at this year's Oscar. Once again, 10! First time in 60 years of Oscars tradition to have 10 nominee instead of the usual 5. For me, it's the right way to do... because last year movie line up is incredible! You can see the complete list here.

I won't talk to much for the nominee line up. Actually I agree with 80-90% of them. One thing I regret most is I delay myself to watch The Hurt Locker and it turns out to get 9 nominations, together with Avatar. Why? because I hate war movie! It hurts me too much. Romance or sad movie with too much melancholic scene won't affect me at all, but war movie is another story. But seems that I have to watch it soon before the award presentation at March 7. Lets watch all 10 best picture nominee before March 7!

Coba Katakan

"aku tak ingin terus terdiam memandangi harapan.
terlena akan manis cinta dan berujung kecewa.
aku tak ingin terus menunggu sesuatu yang tak pasti.
lebih baik kita menangis dan terluka hari ini"
[Coba Katakan - Maliq & D'essentials]

This song keeps playing over and over in my head... first time watching Maliq & D'essentials live performance at New Day for Indonesian Music event by LangitMusik Telkomsel last saturday. Really great performance and the music composition at the performance is more fabulous than the one in the recording. And one thing I really like from their songs... it's trying to make us see the reality of something. Dream and hope is one thing... but still... they're imaginary. Real act will bring them to life.

Daily topic...

i'm looking for daily post topic... I found some blog that keep up with something's daily, like teh Nisa with crane-origami photos... or kang Muy that start posting one picture everyday...

Doing this un-ordinary things can keep up our daily spirit and push us to find anything interesting in our daily routine. Once I heard this kind of idea at a seminar with Yoris Sebastian. The problem is... I can't decide what kind of topic I want to commit, any suggestion???

Kembali ke pojok : perang bubat dan dilarang nikah

Saya baru saja membaca satu posting di blog Serba Sejarah, sedikit komentar dan pengantar tentang sejarah Perang Bubat. Bukan postingan baru, tapi menarik perhatian saya. Seperti diketahui bahwa peristiwa bubat menjadi satu tonggak fundamental perubahan hubungan masyarakat sunda dengan jawa, khususnya terkait pernikahan.

Saya jadi teringat beberapa cerita teman yang pacaran backstreet gara-gara yang satu sunda dan yang satu lagi jawa. Atau yang lamarannya ditolak ortu sang kekasih karena kasus yang sama. Waktu mendengar ceritanya saya cuman komentar, "weleh... weleh... masih ada ya yang begituan". Buat saya sendiri atau mungkin keluarga saya, yang notabene sunda murni secara turun-temurun, hal ini sudah tak dipikirkan lagi. Apalagi semenjak salah seorang bibi saya menikah dengan orang jawa, gak ada yang aneh tuh.... jadi kami sudah tak terlalu ambil pusing lagi.

Yah, sedikit banyak saya masih merasa bingung ketika ada orang yang masih meributkan perbedaan ini, walau sebenernya kembali ke keyakinan setiap orangnya lagi dan saya tetap harus menghormatinya (tapi tetep aja pengen komentar :D). Toh sekarang suku bangsa sudah sangat bercampur. Saya punya teman yang punya nama Gusti Ayu tapi menulis suku bangsanya Sunda (kekekeke... iya gak yu??? :D) atau kalau mau ditilik beberapa pupuhu LSS justru orang jawa (walau ngomongnya sunda banget, bisa ngomong bilingual lah...). Atau beberapa orang sunda yang lebih fasih bahasa Jawa. Yah... apapun sukunya masih Indonesia kan??? atau lebih luasnya, masih manusia kan???

Ya gitu deh... bahasan perang bubat itu pasti nyindir ke pernikahan lintas suku ini. hmmm... saya jadi berpikir, sampai kapan luka hati di masyarakat sunda akibat peristiwa ini akan sembuh??? Dan butuh berapa lama untuk satu nilai kultural seperti ini akan hilang (oops... yg ini punya arti ganda). Jadi ingat cerita teman saya Bayu yang dulu menjabat Ketua bidang Seni dan Budaya di LSS saat kami menjadi pengurus. Dia satu waktu diundang untuk mengisi kuliah mengenai budaya sunda dan ada peserta kuliah yang bertanya mengenai adanya aturan adat tak resmi yang melarang orang sunda dan orang jawa menikah, saat itu bayu menjawab:

"itu mungkin efek dari perang bubat dulu, tapi santai kok, kalo saya gak keberatan nikah ama siapa aja".

Wehehehehe... diluar kenyataan bahwa dia narsis luarbiasa tapi ya sebenernya itu intinya, balik lagi ke setiap orangnya, keberatan atau enggak?!?! Kalau udah niat mah pasti 'gunung kan kudaki, lautan kan kusebrangi' deh... hahahhaa... lebaaaaayyyyy!

ME WANT ONE!!!!!!!

I WANT IT!!! I WANT IT!!! I WANT IT!!!

Remember

"Just remember 10 years ago... When you curse the world if they compare you to other people. Remember the time when it's really hard to make people see your true self pass all the label and condition. Remember the time when you give your best just to make people recognize your value. And remember the pain you feel deep down in your heart when all your hardwork just gave no change at all. Just remember that, and stop doing things because that's what people want from you. You can't make yourself loved, but you can love yourself!"
