You Are My Everything by Gummy (English Version)

In love with Descendant of The Sun's OST. You are my everything by gummy is currently playing and I've had it on repeat. I don't listen to Korean music that often, but this song is uh! I'm loving it. So here's the lyrics in english version.

From the first time, it’s you
Who came to me
Even though me only pass by each other
My eyes let me know you
You pass by me like a gentle wind
I hope that it’s not destiny
Like a fool, I couldn’t say anything at first
I couldn’t do anything

You’re my everything
My destiny comes like shooting stars
Letting me meet someone like you
And deep in my heart
It’s only my love for you
You are my everything
Appearing in the fog
You are tinged by white fog
My heart seems to stop at this moment
I come to you

You’re my everything
My destiny comes like shooting stars
Letting me meet someone like you
And deep in my heart
It’s only my love for you
You are my everything
Though my love couldn’t start before
Now I can say
It’s the miracle that nobody can have

You’re my everything
My passionate love belongs to you
Even if the seasons change, I’ll still be here
Deep in my heart
It’s only my love for you
You are my everything

09, the day we met,

The sun shined so bright on that day
The skies were so beautiful
I thought my day would be good
And then, its true

I still remember the first time I looked into your eyes
You smiled, then I smiled
As simple as that
But you know
It means so much

I wish I could tell you what I feel
I wish I could tell you how I actually like you
And I wish you would be okay with it
I know I can't, but I still wish that I can

I never thought I'd like you
I never planned to have you on my mind
I try not to like you, but I fall even harder

I need more time to be with you
I put comma in the title of this post
Because I don't want it ends
I want to meet you, more and more
Perhaps one day we will meet again
And maybe we will share a lifetime then

See you when I see you, Dear XXX

A day at the beach is good for the soul

Yes, it's true! Beach is Best Escape Anyone Can Have.
We need the beach to refresh the soul. Beach is a place to relaxation, rest and tranquility. A month ago, I went to Yogyakarta with my friends. So many place we have visited. But still, beach is my favourite. I love the wind, the sand, and exactly the sound of the waves. Because at the beach curing all bad moods and the waves wiping away worries. It was a place I need to visited. Beach made me feel small but free as well. As you know, a day at the beach with your friends is all of the therapy you need. So, we visited Slili Beach, Gunung Kidul, Yogyakarta. Here are some photos when we were there :

Ps: ini bukan pasangan-pasangan seperti yang terlihat lho, cuma ada tiga yang asli berpasangan, sisanya teman semua, cuma kebetulan aja pas jumlahnya. hehehe

Here's the couples:

The sand may brush off and the salt may wash away but the memories will last forever.


Beauty and The Beast


Have you watched the movie? I was so excited to watch this. If you love disney princess stories, you must watch, I guess.
Beauty and The Beast was the cutest movie and made me wanna go out and find love, lol. I'm just kidding. I'm sooo in love with Emma Watson. She's perfect for being Belle. I was smiling throughout the entire movie and tearing up even when I know the ending, just because it was so damn good movie. This movie brought all my childhood memories back. Belle has always been my favourite princess. I love this movie because they followed the cartoon version like 99%. 

If you want, you can read the story before you watch the movie and here's;

Once upon a time, an Enchantress turned a handsome prince into a terrible beast when she discovered his selfishness. She left behind an enchanted rose. If the prince did not find true love before the last rose petal fell, he would remain a beast forever.

In a village nearby, Belle lived with her father. More than anything, Belle wanted an adventure like those she read about in her beloved books. Gaston wanted to marry Belle, but she refused. Belle thought he was a beastly bore, and Gaston didn't understand why she was always reading. "It's not right for a woman to read," he said. Belle's father, Maurice, was an inventor. His latest invention was an automatic woodchopper, which he was taking to a contest at the county fair. "You'll win first prize!" Belle declared.

On his way to the fair, Maurice got lost in the woods. A pack of wolves chased him to the gates of a nearby castle. Not sure what he would find inside, Maurice entered the castle grounds cautiously. Maurice could never have imagined the hideous beast that confronted him. Thinking Maurice had come to stare at him, the Beast was furious. Without mercy, he locked this unwanted visitor in the dungeon.

When her father's horse came home alone, Belle went in search of her father and found him locked up. Belle begged the Beast for Maurice's freedom. "Take me instead," she offered. The Beast agreed, making her promise to stay in the castle forever! On her first night, Belle met the castle servants. The spell cast by the Enchantress had turned them into enchanted objects! They were funny, friendly, and treated Belle like a special guest. At dinnertime, Belle refused the Beast's invitation to join him, which made him roar with frustration.

He was anxious to end the spell - and felt Belle was a sign of hope. Mrs. Potts, the teapot, and Lumiere, the candelabrum, told him to be patient and, above all, kind. Later that night, Belle came upon the magic rose the Enchantress had left behind. As Belle reached out to touch it, the Beast appeared and grabbed the precious rose. "Get out!" he yelled. Belle fled the castle on her horse but was attacked by the same wolves that had chased her father.

Risking his life, the Beast saved Belle. In the days that followed, Belle began to see the goodness in the Beast. One evening, the Beast again invited Belle to dinner. This time she accepted. After dinner, the Beast asked Belle to dance. As they whirled around the ballroom, the Beast realized he was in love with Belle. Because of his love, the Beast let Belle return home to see her father.

When Gaston heard her speak fondly of the Beast, he grew jealous and stormed the castle. Gaston stabbed the Beast and then was accidentally knocked off the roof. Belle pulled the Beast to safety.
"Please don't leave me," she sobbed. "I love you." As she spoke, the last rose petal fell. Then a shower of sparks filled the air. The Beast began to transform... into a handsome prince! The enchanted objects were filled with joy as they too turned back into humans and watched their prince and Belle fall in love anew. (source)


Love doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to be true
- Beauty and The Beast-

Begitu Saja Cukup


Begitu Saja Cukup
Aku sudah cukup merasa bahagia
Bila dapat memandangmu
Dari kejauhan saja

Dan aku cukup merasa terhormat
Apabila kamu dapat merasakannya saja
Tak perlu membuang waktu
Atau dapat menaruh rasa dihatimu
Hanya begitu saja
Cukup

Begitu Saja Cukup
Panja Ramdana
Menuju Baik Itu Baik

Please All and You Will Please None

A man and his son were once going with their donkey to a market. As they were walking along, a countryman passed them and said: "You fools, what is a donkey for but to ride upon?". So the man put the boy on the donkey and they went on their way. But soon they passed a group of men, one of whom said: "See the lazy youngster, he lets his father walk while he rides."

So the man had his boy get off, and got on himself. But, they hadn't gone far when they passed two women, one of whom said to the other: "Shame on that lazy lout to make his poor little son trudge along."

The man didn't know what to do, but at last he took his boy up before him on the donkey. By this time they had come to the town and the passers-by began to jeer and point at them. The man stopped and asked what they were scoffing at. The men said: "Aren't you ashamed of yourself for overloading that poor donkey of yours-you and your hulking son?"

The man and boy got off and tried to think what to do. They thought and they thought, till at last they cut down a pole, tied the donkey's feet to it, and raised the pole and the donkey to their shoulders. They went along amid the laughter of all who met them till they came to a bridge, when the donkey, getting one of his feet loose, kicked out and caused the boy to drop his end of the pole. In the struggle the donkey fell over the bridge, and so did the man and the boy. 

Finally an old man who had followed them said, "That will teach you: Please all, and you will please none."
