Don't Blame Ibu Kartini

I don't know whether it only happens in Indonesia (jakarta) or also happens in other countries.

People say I'm dominant, I'm tomboy, Everything that just pointed that i act like a guy. But, for your information: I'm quite sick of WOMAN'S EMANCIPATION!

I won't Blame Ibu Kartini,
I love her, She's great. Without Her, i won't be the way i am. I'm proud that so many women those success.

The thing that i Hate:
does Emancipation also mean you'll let a woman standing in the bus, while you're sitting?
-question for the men-

This morning,as usual, a girl took a city bus. It was empty when the girl got into the bus, so this girl got a seat. But, in a brief time, the bus became so crowded. So many girls standing, while so many men sitting
-a little bit upset, but the girl has promised my self not to mess people's business, beside, the girls are young-
On the third stop, there was one woman got into the bus. Wow, she's pregnant. She stood near to the door, in front of three men those sitting.
The girl were really angry, why there were no one had willingness to give the pregnant woman his seat?!
The girl tried to call the pregnant woman
-the girl sat at the back of the cabin- then thanks God, people helped the girl to call the pregnant woman.
When the pregnant woman almost reached the seat, the girl woke up to please her. But then one 35-40 years old man made a move to have the seat. The girl tried to hold the man by my hand
-the girl has promised herself not to say a word, because i really know my self that if i say something on that situation, i would say something really bad-. But it almost didn't work. This old man power was stronger, then the girl finally said something:
"Come one sir, don't you see that i called this lady? What if your daughter were pregnant and there's no one give her a seat? Be gentle!" -
than this girl feeling guilty for her words-
After that the pregnant woman got her seat.
Thanks God

Hhh..
Somewhat, i do Pro Woman's Emancipation.
But, does the definition of WOMAN'S EMANCIPATION in INDONESIA also means:
- that's okay to let woman brings a lot of things while there's a man bringing nothing?
- That's okay to let the girl, woman, or old woman stands while there's a man sitting in a bus?by one reason: They want to be the same with us (men), so they must be strong as well.

How does WOMAN'S EMANCIPATION works in other countries?

PS: For you those always be an 'international guy'
-that's the way my boss call the guy that act gently- I'm very sorry for this Note. This 'Man' & 'Men' ain't refering all of the men in this country

It Makes Me Cry.. T_T

hmm...
Siang ini gw menonton
video klip-nya Chrisye yang judulnya Lirih ..
Ini kali kedua gw nonton video klipnya
-norak ya? bodo..gw jarang nonton TV-
dan kali pertama gw nonton, gw agak2 menitikkan air mata..
gw pikir, karena memang saat itu gw lagi memikirkan suatu hal,, dan lagu itu menjadi pemicu air mata gw untuk menetes..
Tapi di kali keduanya, tadi, gw kok kembali menitikkan air mata ya?
Kayaknya kesimpulan pertama gw musti gw batalkan deh..
Sejak pertama, gw, kayaknya, memang menitikkan air mata karena video klip ini memang mengharukan.. Jadi gw menitikkan air mata bukan karena kisah gw, tapi pure karena video klipnya..

Banyak hal yang penting buat gw di Video klip itu:

1. Bagaimana istri almarhum Chrisye bernyanyi. It just so. WOW aja scene-nya..
2.
The story of the song bahwa lagu itu sebenernya lagu yang belum rilis. Dan lirik dari lagu itu kesannya menggambarkan tentang keterbatasan dari kisah antara Chrisye dengan istrinya, kematiannya.
3. Bagaimana artis-artis dan orang yang terlibat dalam video klip itu memperlihatkan dedikasi mereka terhadap legenda itu. (diantaranya ada sang istri, Peterpan, Nidji, Guruh Soekarno Putra)
4. Dan yang ultimate adalah ketika di scene penutup sang istri, Ibu Damayanti, turun dari mobil dan menuju sekelompok pemusik yang digambarkan sedang menyanyikan lagu Lirih itu -dengan suara Chrisye tentunya-. Sang istri itu tersenyum. Senyumnya itu, buat gw, mengandung banyak makna: Bahagia, terharu, beterima kasih terhadap para pemusik yang telah mendedikasikan diri mereka menyanyikan lagu itu, serta keikhlasan dari sang istri. Sang istri pun mengangguk pelan. Anggukannya mungkin, bagi sang sutradara - atau siapapun- menggambarkan terima kasihnya. Tapi, bagiku, anggukan itu mengartikan satu hal lain.

Anggukan itu terjadi, bersinggungan dengan bait yang amat menyentuh:

Adakah, kau mengerti kasih? Rindu hati ini, tanpa kau disisi?
Mungkinkah, kau percaya kasih, bahwa diri ini, ingin memiliki lagi?


di scene itulah sang istri mengangguk -dan untukku- aku lebih suka mengartikan anggukan pelan sang istri jawaban dari pertanyaan sang legenda, Chrisye.

Adakah, kau mengerti kasih? Rindu hati ini, tanpa kau disisi?
--ya, aku mengerti, karena aku pun meindukanmu
Mungkinkah, kau percaya kasih, bahwa diri ini, ingin memiliki lagi?
--ya aku percaya..

yup,,bait terakhir itu bagiku berarti sangat dalam.
Bahwa apabila ia memiliki kesempatan untuk hidup lagi, maka ia akan tetap memilikinya, atau mungkin, apabila mereka dipertemukan di alam yang sama, maka Chrisye ingin untuk bersamanya lagi.. Atau bagi mereka yang percaya, saat mereka bereinkarnasi nanti,,mereka akan saling memiliki...Lagi..
