50 most exciting places on earth (misleading title, watchout!!) =D

Oraity, in this post I will make a list of those trips and journey which I've had in the past and which I intend to write about. Yes, I dearly indeed have the intention to write about those, all of them. I know it seems like a "janji-janji palsu", keep mentioning I will do it but at the same time keep proscatinating it, ahahaha, aren't we all? But with this list (yeaay, I love making list!!!) I am sure the reality will finally arrive, It's just I'm the kind of person who has to plan it all, I know, not cool, huh? But I feel like when I have all the things planned out, they will be closer to reality.

ITHACA

When you set out on your journey to Ithaca,

pray that the road is long,
full of adventure, full of knowledge.

The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
the angry Poseidon -- do not fear them:
You will never find such as these on your path,
if your thoughts remain lofty, if a fine
emotion touches your spirit and your body.
The Lestrygonians and the Cyclops,
the fierce Poseidon you will never encounter,
if you do not carry them within your soul,
if your soul does not set them up before you.

Pray that the road is long.

That the summer mornings are many, when,

with such pleasure, with such joy
you will enter ports seen for the first time;
stop at Phoenician markets,
and purchase fine merchandise,
mother-of-pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
and sensual perfumes of all kinds,
as many sensual perfumes as you can;

visit many Egyptian cities,

to learn and learn from scholars.

Always keep Ithaca in your mind.
To arrive there is your ultimate goal.
But do not hurry the voyage at all.
It is better to let it last for many years;
and to anchor at the island when you are old,
rich with all you have gained on the way,
not expecting that Ithaca will offer you riches.

Ithaca has given you the beautiful voyage.
Without her you would have never set out on the road.
She has nothing more to give you.

And if you find her poor, Ithaca has not deceived you.

Wise as you have become, with so much experience,
you must already have understood what Ithacas mean.

I read this poem in the front of "The Zahir" book, a novel by Paolo Coelho, i think I've read it before, I think one of my friend have already posted somewhere, but anyhow I will still put it here as this poem is so encouraging. I interpret Itacha as our dream, vision, something we long and hope for, our goal, objectives, reason of living. Okay, agak lebay yaaa. But yeah, I believe that it is important to have a dream, It keeps you alive and makes your life has a purpose, and no matter how stupid, simple, small, insignificant your dream might look like, just go for it, you'll never know what you're gonna get.

I remember the movie I watched by myself, (I know, pathetic, whatever), Tangled, where the protagonist, Rapunzel has very simple wish / dream, she wants to see the lights which appear every night on her birthday, where she saw it from the window of the tower, that's it, and she'll die as happy woman. Well, she finally did something to make it happen, she's out of her comfort zone, taking risks, did something she never imagined before for the sake of reaching something she'd been wished for. With such a simple dream, in the end she finally not only see the lights, she found her parents and a boyfriend, well its a quite a lot of bonus, huh? I know it's only a fairy tale but it could happen, you'll never know :)

 

Do me!!!

“In the moonlight” (Do me)

The stars are falling from the sky
And you’re the reason why
The moon is shining on your face
And I finally think it found its place
Chorus:
Cuz maybe baby
I just wanna do you, do you
Do you wanna do me, do me?
Underneath the moonlight, moonlight
tonigh…
And now we’re hiding in my car
I let you see my scars
Escape the dark for just one night
Your heart makes me explode with light
– Chorus –
Baby maybe
Maybe I will steal you, steal you
Just so I can feel you, feel you
Maybe that will heal you, heal you
On the inside
Underneath the willow tree
wearing nothing else but me…

This song is from the TV series Modern Family which currently becoming one of my fave TV shows. I recall this series got Emmy award as best TV series in comedy several months ago so i decided to buy this series. The story is about 3 families which turned out to be related to each other. 1st family is typical normal parents with normal 3 children, 2 girls and one boy. 2nd family is and old man with a younger sexy latino wife with one child from the previous husband. 3rd family is a gay couple with one Vietnamese adopted daughter.

The series is about these 3 families dealing with their daily life and routines, its funny, witty but also heartwarming. There is a moral of the story in every series. I recommend this series and I hope the series will be long lasted.

Ah, now about the song, Its my "cuci otak" song currently. In one of the episode, this Dylan who is a boyfriend of the oldest daughter of 1st family was invited to the family dinner to prove whether this boy is good enough for their daughter. Dylan almost got their heart by promoting a peace between the ex and current wife of the 2nd family's husband. But then he sang this song and the parents looked at each other and said "oh, she's totally not going out to party with him". But eventually every characters in this movie are easily memorized this song and this song became their "cuci otak" song just like what happen to me right now. Ahahahahaha....

Well, what a random things I post in my blog, eh?

Ciao a tutti!!!
