the dissonant sound of love
Posted by arisetyo | Filed under philosophy
it’s been months since i wrote my last blog. between hectic schedule and relentless deadlines, putting down what’s on my mind seemed so far behind in my list of priorities. and this situation is unlikely to end in a distant future.
but i was so much intrigued to write a blog after i recently read two very interesting articles. both use love as their main theme. although one is somewhat platonic, and one is more romantically inclined, both ended gloriously in sad endings.

tu me manques
Posted by arisetyo | Filed under personal
Think of me, think of me fondly,when we’ve said goodbye.
Remember me once in a while - please promise me you’ll try.
When you find that, once again, you long to take your heart back and be free -
If you ever find a moment, spare a thought for me
We never said our love was evergreen, or as unchanging as the sea -
but if you can still remember stop and think of me . . .
Think of all the things we’ve shared and seen -
don’t think about the things which might have been . . .
Think of me, think of me waking, silent and resigned.
Imagine me, trying too hard to put you from my mind.
Recall those days look back on all those times, think of the things we’ll never do -
There will never be a day, when I won’t think of you . . .

Pre-Release of Oleander
Posted by arisetyo | Filed under personal, review
Dalam waktu dekat saya akan segera merilis Oleander, sebuah free downloadable book, yang berisi kumpulan puisi. I’m going to put it all here, semua puisi dari tahun 1994 sampai 2008. Tapi sebelum itu, saya akan menceritakan sedikit mengenai sumber-sumber inspirasi dari semua puisi di buku tersebut.
Surprise surprise.. the source of inspiration for 90% of my poems are girls. What do you know… 
So here are their stories, and some of the poetry lines inspired by them.

Airports and Relationships

I was sitting on the departure lounge. It was crowded, as usual. Queues, smoking areas, over-priced tax-free gift-shops. The air around me stirs into a vortex of the stench of other people’s memories.

A response to an old (and deceased) blog entry..
1.”..and promise to be faithful no matter what..”
seingat penulis, dan berdasarkan logika, True Love tidak perlu janji kesetiaan “walau apapun yang terjadi”. It just (supposedly) happens.. Seperti kita bercita-cita untuk memiliki rumah yang bagai istana dan rumah tersebut tidak bocor dikala hujan… C’mon… It just strange… Rumah bagai istana ya otomatis nggak bocor waktu hujan duonx… hehehehe…
Tapi jikalau kalimat tersebut adalah premis pembangun esai, ya nggak tau juga.. ^_^

Love & Marriage, Pt.2

Pikirkan Real Madrid. Terkenal, permainannya cantik, reputasi mengagumkan, suporternya ribuan. Pemain mana sih yang nggak mau direkrut oleh klub ini. Segala kesuksesan (baca:kebahagiaan) yang bisa didapat oleh seorang pemain, bisa didapatkan di sini.

Olahraga di dunia ini kan nggak cuma satu, ada puluhan, mungkin malah ratusan kalau olahraga tradisional seperti balap karung, kaleci, gobak sodor, dll.,dst. juga dianggap olahraga (which they are). Dari ratusan olahraga ini, pasti banyak sekali olahraga yang kita sukai, entah karena rame, menyegarkan badan(?), atau hanya karena ikut-ikutan (everybody else likes it).

a review on the Soulmate concept
Posted by admin | Filed under philosophy
the soulmate concept is dangerous. not because of i dont believe in fate or destiny. but because it can make you rush into love.
