you make my world so colorful.......daniel sahuleka

don't blame me if i shall sing with you last night...

i wish there were some right words to thank you for your decent performance of last night, somewhere in JakJazz where accustic guitar was the only element you played, where with you captured and led every audience into total rapture

i was one of them....

when "you make my world so colorful" was about to be played, you showered us with magic confession of "sunlight that came across your room was falling into the face of your wife, making her so beautiful", you suddenly stormed our night into sincere thankfulness of having someone besides us

if i could finally sing with you and others, tasting the magic meaning of every word you wrote, tasting every meaning you meant to your wife then i could understand why this song had made you one of the most expected icons in this yearly event

still i couldn't imagine how could you be able to write such a beautiful song like that, a song that hampers this world with gratefulness of having someone in this life, a song that unveils the meaning of steady love that never ends

still i couldn't describe my mixed feelings when standing next to a gal i fancy, a feeling that put us together in this JakJazz, a feeling of friendship, an emotion of lovingship, and surely, a rapture to hold on

but one thing for sure you just made our last night a perfect moment to savor...

if i have to thank you for last night, i'll be thanking to...
1. love you gave to us
2. moment you shared with us
3. smile you passed to us
4. song you sang to us

most of all, from the bottom of my heart i sincerely thank you for "you make my world so colorful"...

i'll stand by you

and i don't know if a bridge was made last night if last night was the moment of life

and i don't know if this bridge of love is more than just enough to glue every difference we have and it is all we need to get together as this is a rare chance to happen

and i don't know if laughing together was the best medicine of yester night despite sour tones of past hurts seemed to haunt you, if not take you in blemish spell, into another mile of your life

but i do know i'll stand by you...
i'll be standing by you when rain was falling; when sun was shining...
i'll be standing by you when thing turns sour; when world seems to be frawn...
i'll be standing by you and i promise you this...

i know you are in somewhat troublesome in deleting past hurts, and it would take a while to heal and i know you'll be healed with the way you believe in, it would be a while to ride this bumpy road of life

but i could assure you that i'll be standing by you...

trust me, the joy of tomorrow is coming, just stick with what you've believed in and our Dear Lord is listening to every wish you send into a prayer, a thing i adore from you most

if sunday might look fragile, don't feel down as sun still rises tomorrow and smile still shows again

until tomorrow, i'm wishing you a truly peaceful sunday

kla project (last night)

and last night was just indescribably special...

and kla project is back after 7-year of "split-up", the first concert where katon, lilo and adi were in the same stage, somewhere in kamasutera -hotel crown plaza- and the night was poured with magical romantism that only kla could do...

and kla is back with memories, showing the world that they are no longer childish, putting all differences behind by being unselfish and making a night to remember with brilliant performance

how can i start telling you about "tentang kita"?
do we still remember this is the first single that took kla to the stage where music industry started sniffing the greatness in kla?

how can i tell you my joy when a song called "gerimis" was played?
do we know that the message of this song was just simple but incredible for staying faithful to the love we worship when hardship rocks our love in such a way?

how can i share you my shaky feeling when we're all ended up singing "yogyakarta"?
do i have to tell you that most people in the room were singing in joy, taking us aback to the old days when kla produced this "master piece" that might not last in time?

shall i tell you my heart was mixed between loving kla more and fancying daniel sahuleka most after wathing him at JakJazz a hour ago?
do i have to tell you i've loved music more than anything in this world and i just hold myself from not swinging in joy when love songs knocked me out?

suddenly i was not the only one either to knowing the night with kla is a rare happening in this life

if i can be honest, last night i was a happier person with lighter heart

and i know, once again, music for me is a joy to savor and being with kla -when saturday was made- was surely a heaven to taste and i'm sincerely thankful for the love you brings to me, and your special companion of last night

suddenly, last night was more than just a nite, a moment to savor, a night to remember

i can't help it...

now i can find you in every corner of my mind

and you've been there since last wednesday when you turning up in panache, making a night to remember when your enthusiastic talks captures my best attention then pleasing my thirsty of seeing one smart brain wrapped in decent look and clever jokes

and then you just make my world turn inside out since then

whom shall be blamed?
am i wrong for fancying you too much?
shall you be blamed for taking every offer being together?
or is it life that it is supposed to be?

i don;t know...

and if i shall start my day then i know i shall end with a thought of you which is i can't shun despite i try not to include you in every walk of my life but i can't help it

and if i'm now sailing with a series of blissful emotions then i couldn't separate you from this feeling as i know you are the biggest reason of the most recent uplifting life in me

and suddenly, all of my life is now being focussed on you...
i can't deny...
i can't conceal...
and i must tell you that you are here, there and everywhere...

(i'm scared of fancying you much; but i can't help myself from not liking you most)

Splendid Monday, everyone!

Love Letter (24 Nov 2008)

a sweet thought of you is here, never goes away...

and i must tell you this because you are the only reason of my blissful sunday when you swayed me in simple joy with enthusiasm that never lasts and suddenly i know i was seeing "an old me in you"

and i must let you this because i keep thinking of you when dawn of monday arrives in wet style where pouring rain grabs me in fragile mood to remind me those sweet days in Ubud when i was falling into you endlessly

and i must listen to my conscience because i'm now livelier than before; bublier than yesterdays; a kind of thing that signals every token that being with you is what matters me most in these days

and i must make you known that i don't mind being irational, silly, bollock or unbelievably stupid because of love, as love is all i need to make this world go around and i'm an always slave of love

but then what i shall be loosing?
i must tell you that i'll be loosing nothing in this world because being with you is the best gift this world could give

and i must tell you that i'll be drawn into the ocean of bliss because nothing drives me more than a thing called love to be happier in this life and it is an always moment i wish to happen in my life

and i must tell you that trapped with you in saint theresa last night was a gift of life when i should lit three candles for all loved ones, and one is for you, as i was hoping this life would treat us sweetly

and i must tell you that a diet coke tastes nicest this weekend when i was with you, having a plate of mixed fruits, somewhere near the calmness when sunday evening offers a joy to live

suddenly i know i must be with you again despite it is ain't easy as hectic has prevented us to get together often, but i'll fight to see you often at any costs

suddenly i know life must be comprised with insensibility to savor the greatest gift of life -which is falling in love-, and i don't mind being zero plausible pursuing my life being with you in days to come

suddenly i know we'd be somewhere on this upcoming weekend when music is our bridge; when japanese food is our talk or when rain is what you expect to fall on

but then...
can i hold myself from falling further?
can i hold myself from fancying you deeper?
can i ask myself to stand where i'm right now?

i don't know and i just don't...
all i do know if life is a choice, a choice of joy, then i'll strive every second to be happier and i'm now encountering someone where happiness is just made naturally thru given smile and smart brain

but then...
i'm lost in words as no other words are perfect to describe this feeling
i'm speechless in the calmness of happiness
i'm a happy person now

i think i must see you soon...

i miss you... i miss all of it...

Life Is A Gift

Life is a gift...

Today, before you say an unkind word, think of someone who can't speak

Today, before you complain about the taste of your food, think of someone who has nothing to eat

Today, before you complain about your husband or wife, think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion

Today, before you complain about life, think of those who may have died before their time

Today, before whining about the distance you drive, think of those who walk the same distance on foot

When you are tired and complain about your job, think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job

And, when depressing thoughts seem to get you down..
Put a smile on your face and think..
You're alive and still around for a reason..

Love Letter (14 Nov 2008)

suddenly I miss you like nobody else...
i must write you this since it has been a week since we last met and every sweet thought of you seems to be around my mind and i just can't get you out of this mind, no matter how hard i've tried

suddenly I miss you, I miss your kiss, and I miss your wish
I miss all of it...
and till now your kiss still tastes sweet and if I have to choose, I'll let your kiss last on my cheek till heaven bursts, but then how can't I stand on my own if I don't see you by the end of this month?

suddenly I want to kiss you like nobody needs to know
suddenly I want you to know that your kiss for me is an endless glow
your kiss is what I need most when cloudy day seems to be misleading when my sunny day looks to be less compelling

suddenly I know that I must see you

in this life, before and now, I've dated some gals but being with you is just unbelievably different and loving you is surely the best gift this life has given me besides my breath

you breath new life into my love, taking my attention into lesser ones and letting me flown into the rhythm of joy without never pushing me to follow what you believe in or prefer to

you show me a series of insights that loving someone is a combination of loving words and caring deeds, and every argument is a reduction to our love but every compliment is a bonus to our love

with you my love blossoms like a mushroon in the rainy season, but then you won't stop there, you allow me growing in my own pace and giving me space to love you in my own style, something which is you fancy most as you say my way of loving you is very unique and incomparable

now I know I'll be less meaningful when you are not around
words you say, deeds you do, hugs you give and smile you show to me are just the best gifts of day that our Dear Lord has given to my life

and certainly, falling in love with you is just the best gift of this life has poured on me

I love you for so many reasons and I'll love you for many more reasons


with all the love in the world,
Kevin Anthony

Till The End Of Time

The road we’ve chosen might be longer than expected
The path we’ve taken might be steeper than imagined
The journey we’ve ridden might be darker than pictured

And sun might not shine all days and rain might not pour all months, but I’m standing here to tell you that I’ll take you with me to get there, to a place where heaven was made in honesty and loyalty, and in that island, I’ll commit my whole life to be with you till death do us apart

For what it has been a coy to many of us, it is no longer a secret that I’m in love with you

For what it has been a mystery to some of us, it is all now known that you are mine for the rest of this life

And for what it has been a story of life, I’m here to write every chapter of us, I live to love you, and you live to love me, till the end of time

This Is Our Chance

This is our chance to answer that call...
This is our moment...
This is our time
to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids;
to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace;
to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth – that out
of many, we are one;
that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism,
and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t,
we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:

Obama Praises McCain

"He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he’s fought even longer and harder for the country he loves”

"He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine"

"And we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader"

Michelle Obama

"I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years"

"The rock of our family"
"And the love of my life"
"Our nation’s next First Lady, Michelle Obama.”

The Road Ahead Will Be Long - Barack Obama

"The road ahead will be long"
"Our climb will be steep"

"We may not get there in one year or even one term"
"But America -- I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there"

"I promise you -- we as a people will get there,"

lessons from a wise-old-man

it took me back to the places when sunshine seemed to have shined all the way down to my heart to recall one of the nicest quotes i've ever heard in my life and this wise-old-man whispered in my ear and said this....

"son, remember that people will judge you by your actions, not your intentions"

i was stunned, silenced by the meaning of this sentence and absorbed to the facts that this sentence was just too right by all means

then he continued as i was still in mesmerized stage by the heat of the moment, and said...

"son, the only true happiness comes from squandering ourselves for a purpose"

i was almost close to tears as i'd been searching all of my life to find true happiness and in this wise-old-man i found it, and i found it in bali, a heaven on earth somewhere above uluwatu but below dreamland

and after grabbing my full awareness i started seeing this life is larger scale, started thinking of others whom i could do in helping them reaching their dreams by sponsoring, encouraging and leading them

because, in truth, there is ton of happiness in seeing others happy because of us

years after i met this wise-old-man, now i start believing to exist just for yourself is meaningless and we shall pursue for the most satisfaction by relating to some greater purposes in life, something greater than ourself, namely, by helping others -less fortunate ones- to realise their dreams

perhaps, as tuesday falls on in panache, i would end this up by saying "it is not how much one makes but to what purpose one spends in this life" that matters most our happiness

do you think so?

have a splendid tuesday, everyone!

To Be A Winner

There is one quality which one must possess to win, and that is definiteness of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it

Do you have it?
Do I have it?

Or am I going to have it as time goes by?
But for very sure I want to be a winner in this life...

Men (Is That True)

Men, like nails, lose their usefulness when they lose direction and begin to bend

last sunday's evening

it was laughter that made us close
it was loyalty that kept us together
it was respect that brought us last night
but it is all about true friendship that matters to us

and last night i was in the middle of 20 close friends, chatting for our joy, listening to our friendship and spreading our wishes for another year in faithful friendship

i don't find right words to describe the right meaning of friendship but i was blessed to have been given such a wonderful circle of friends who've always been there to enjoy the blissful moment of my life

i was there with all of them, a kind of yearly gathering for celebrating my birthday which always falls on october, and this kind of gathering has always been attended by the same camaraderies in the past three years

and i must tell u one thing...
whenever this circle of friends was togeter then you could expect a ton of laughter that teary eyes were highly likely and we were just savoring the moment of togetherness like there is no other moment

over the years, this group has increasingly loyal to each other
over the years, we respect each other more than a year ago
over the years, this friendship is getting solid when every new year arrives
and in friendship we do trust our lives of joy

now we are all still in the stage of developing and learning
but all we have until today is surely a blessing that is mesmerizing
and even till today none of us are complaining
because this friendship is a gift of life which is simply amazing

if i could make a wish, i'd wish this solid friendship would last till words don't rhyme, and if possible, till heaven burts

and i'll always wish to stay in touch for always

have a splendid monday every one!

last saturday

it is morning croissant from daily bread restaurant that is now with me
it is a superb way to kick of this monday but i had a brilliant saturday to write too

last saturday, unlike other saturdays, i was given a chance to be a good host when a dear friend from bandung was in town to pay me a visit, and i was happy to see my dear friend once again

she is in healthy, full of smile and a writer of her life too
she is a dear friend in the past years and the last time we met was an almost year ago when we both ended up a night in starbuck menteng, seizing the saturday till monday morning with ton of decent chats

this time, we did not much time to chat except an hour to enjoy with dim-sum in duck king-grand indonesia plus two hours full of spirit when mamamia took us to another spell of joyful life

i know i did promise my dear friend of this mamamia
why shall be a mamamia?
i don't know -if i can be honest- and if i do know it is all about uplifted spirit after seeing this entertaining movie for which the joy remains even when the movie is finished

now i start believing what a movie could bring to our lives, but more than anything, i believe that happiness and joy would come to our lives when time is right and it was well put in this movie

a series of decent sceneries, a bunch of memorable songs and a string of cracking moments in this movie are behind all best reasons why this movie has been well praised, accepted and cheered by many of movie lovers, including myself

years before i see this movie, my love for music has been well blossomed and the songs of ABBA are all familiar to my ears, not to mention, my skill of playing those songs thru my guitar

perhaps, for some people, "slipping thru my fingers" is not familiar, but this song has been tapped into my mind 20 years ago, a moment when my appetite of learning music was too large by any means

and in truth, i was singing loudly inside my heart and i was kind of hoping i could stop the clock from the funny trick of time as i -suddenly- missed ton of decent memories of singing this song with some friends when one saturday night fell in style

now i wish my dear friend would luv this mamamia as much as i do
now i wish she would be back in bandung with cheerful feeling of mamamia
and i wish i had been a good host on last saturday as i did enjoy the moment of being together

as life goes on...
we are now on monday, another week for which i wish to crack another blessing moment with my given life which has been fabulous, enticing, fascinating and also encouraging

as i move on to this monday...
i started feeling that nothing we could hold will stand still, nothing...
all we had would be untied no matter how hard we tried...
and i could feel why 'slipping thru my fingers' is very right...
(I wish that I could freeze the picture...and save it from the funny tricks of time)

enjoy your monday and let's have today poured into our lives with bliss
