ending of the princess plue story

eunchan — Fri, 11 Apr 2008 07:27:25 +0000

Plue terbangun dari tidurnya…setelah mengalami mimpi buruk. Mimpi buruk kalau ternyata pangeran Antah Berantah tidak seganteng bayangannya, nggak sesuai tipenya, dan dia nggak akan pernah mau menikah dengannya. Bahkan pacarnya yang sekarang pun gak bakal ditukar sama seorang pangeran semacam itu. Gak rela. Pacarnya terlalu baik, terlalu sayang Plue. Plue nggak punya banyak waktu lagi untuk ngelanjutin cerita ini. Masih banyak kerjaan di kantor. Sadarlah dia kalau selama ini dia sudah terlalu banyak menghabiskan waktunya untuk bermimpi. Sekarang saatnya memikirkan kenyataan yang ada. Dia bukanlah seorang puteri. Seorang budak pun bukan. Dia hanya manusia biasa, yang terjebak di dalam dunia yang fana, bersama dengan manusia-manusia yang sama fananya dengan dirinya. Oh alangkah jemu. Hidup terus berjalan. Plue melakukan tugasnya. Demikian seterusnya. Manakah yang lebih baik, dunia nyata, ataukah dunia dalam mimpinya. Plue pun mengangguk2kan kepala. Sepertinya memang dunia ini masih jauh lebih ramah kepadanya ketimbang dunia di dalam mimpi buruknya.

- The end -

Cerita ini adalah fiksi belaka, ending ini ditulis di CBLC pas jam sibuk, banyak orang mondar-mandir, jadinya kayak gini.

from javabean’s Hong Gil Dong ep 21 summary

Flashback from ep 21:

Enok had rhapsodized about her favorite thing in the world: sweet buns. (Then chicken, then crackers.) Gil Dong mutters about her priorities (with slightly childish jealous tone), so Enok assures him:

Enok: “I like sweet buns, chicken, and crackers, but there’s only one ‘I love you’ in the world. Gil Dong, you’re an ‘I love you.’” (with her always honest and direct approach)

Gil Dong: “Is that a good thing?” (curiously asking)

Enok: “Uh-huh!”
Gil Dong: “Then I’ll make you an ‘I love you’ too.” (saying casually)

Enok: “Really?” (was very excited)

Gil Dong: “You said it was a good thing. ‘I love you.’”
Enok: (was still pleasantly surprised and excited) “You said ‘I love you’ for real! Later on, you can’t take it back after you find out what it means! Gil Dong, ‘I love you.’“

He mutters, “Did she think I didn’t know what it meant? I’m not a dummy like her.” He touches his side, where she’d stabbed him:

Gil Dong: “If I’d known this is what would happen, I ought to have been stabbed harder and died. She did such a bad job stabbing me, it hurts like hell.”

I think this is one of the cutest dialogue in the drama, and sad at the same time…reminds me of Choon Hyang and Mong Ryong when they’re thinking of one another after the ahjusshi incident in ep 13 if i’m not wrong…all the flashbacks…beautifully shot.

puzzle of jomblo life

eunchan — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 08:47:54 +0000

barusan baca buku ini, yang ngarang seorang ce yang lagi pacaran sm seorang indonesian phd student di nus. nvm buat orang2 yang udah tahu. keren deh. aku baru tau ternyata ***** itu orangnya kayak gitu, ada kemiripan sm aku deh heheh meski aku keliatannya lebih cool, well…punya masa lalu yang rada2 serupa, meski aku gak perna nembak co =P buku yang jujur buanget, i would say that it’s a brutally honest book. totally recommended for any anak muda indo anywhere (esp. ce sih soalnya gak ada sharing co jomblo di dlmnya). bukunya lumayan membangun dan gak berkesan menggurui. diingetin lagi beberapa hal.

1. to keep my heart for the “knight” to come, if the knight really comes.

2. to assume there’s nothing happening until a guy really expresses his interest. pura-pura “bodo” kayak gini sebenernya susah sih. cuman i think it’s necessary. i’m honestly the type of person yang kalopun gak jadi sm seseorang yah gpp lah…kan masih bisa temenan, dan kayaknya gak bkl sakit2 amet. udah kebal =P but still, i should not be overconfident.

3. not to be dependent on any guy friends.

4. jadi mikir2 lagi, kenapa orang2 di sekitarku yang keliatan harusnya uda memenuhi semua syarat untuk menikah malah belum ada pacar. sedangkan yang kayaknya masih struggling malah ada pacar. jadi mikir2…jangan2 “siap”nya manusia itu nggak kayak “siap”nya Tuhan.

5. to be careful with guys’ heart, to reject clearly unwanted fans more courteously. if a girl like me can have bitterness due to one-sided love, so can guys.

6. to be patient and stay still before the Lord.

bukunya banyak kemiripan sm kedua buku Joshua Harris benernya cuman lebih dikemas secara indo aja. bahasanya lmyn “jakartanized” also. but it’s okay =P

for guys’ insights…

girls want to be pursued, woo-ed, and loved just as how Jesus Christ has won our affection by going after us, dying for us, saving us, firstly loving all of us. my own insight: preferably in a way that respects her as a subject, not as some mere object of admiration (I’ve been so often the latter and u won’t believe how dishonoring it is for the girl =P some girls unbelievably love being objects of lust, but I think it’s really really bad and humiliating if guys do that to you, so please be careful). if a guy cannot even ask a girl to be his girlfriend, then just forget the idea that he really loves her. okay, this is from the book.

Yuki – Fugainaiya (It’s so cowardly) lyrics translation

Watashi ga umareta asa no machi
Yuki no naka ni umoreta
Sore ha sore ha chiisai te de
Aozora wo aoida
Sanagara mukashi kara yoku shiru
Tonari no ano ko no you ni
Katahou no mimitabu de kiku
Sotsugyou no kanon
Hitori demo daijoubu yo tte
Mekureteru watashi no sutoorii
Dareka no sei ni shitai yo
Tsurai naa. Iya. Iya.

Migikiki no o-rikou-san ni ha
Ameagari wo ageyou
Tedzukuri no foochun kukkii
Tabenagara dekakeyou
Kanashiku tte naite bakkari itara
Me ga tokete naku natta
Aki ni nari mata fuyu ni nari
Hitotsu toshi wo totta
Tooku made nigete iru tsumori demo
Owaranai kimi no sutoorii
Niyaniya waratte iru
Fugainai ya. Iya.

Sugarinagara
Oi kakete mitemo

Watashi ga umareta asa no machi

Fugainai ya. Iya.
Tsurai naa. Iya. Iya.

—Translation– -
In the morning, the town I was born in
Was buried under a snowdrift
Well, well, with a tiny hand
I fanned the blue sky
Just like that girl next door
Whom I’ve known really well for ages
With one earlobe, I listen to
A graduation canon
I say I’ll be all right even if I’m alone
And my story gets turned inside out
I want to make it someone else’s fault
It hurts so much. I hate it. I hate it.

Let me give what comes after the rain
To a right-handed genius
Let’s head out while we eat
My homemade fortune cookies
When you do nothing but cry when it’s sad
The buds thaw and disappear
Autumn comes, winter comes again
And it’s taken one year
You intended on running far away
But your story won’t end
I’m grinning broadly
It’s so cowardly, and I hate it.

While I cling to you
Even if I try chasing after you
Even if I get kicked for it
Let’s fill up an open hole
There’s no mistaking it. I hate it.

I’ll overlap them, I’ll lean against them
I’ll throw them all out very soon
The people I adore and the gentle days
Will disappear completely very soon

In the morning, the town I was born in
Was buried under a snowdrift
Well, well, with a tiny hand
I fanned the blue sky
You intended on running far away
But your story won’t end
I’m grinning broadly
It’s so cowardly, and I hate it.

While I cling to you
Even if I try chasing after you
Even if I get kicked for it
Let’s close up an open hole
There’s no mistaking it. I hate it.
It’s so cowardly, and I hate it.
It hurts so much. I hate it. I hate it

P.S. this song fits quite well to be my graduation song =) I’m grinning broadly, it’s so cowardly, I hate it, I hate it =)

and there he was, who’s been standing by me through thick and thin. and i was also there for him, also through thick and thin. a friend whom i can go to anytime, by any means, for whatever reason. a friend who doesn’t deject me when he doesn’t want to talk to me. i call him a real friend. at least for now.

the latest guy from the kpop scene, face-wise, reminds me of Jerry Yan, only with smaller eyes.

why does his voice remind me of Guang Liang? But Guang Liang only sings ballads…

Suneohair – Waltz (lyrics translation)

eunchan — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 09:32:48 +0000

Rubbing my unopened eyelids, I can see
Into a pastel-patterned future
I’ll pursue an inlaid symbol
As my expression were pulled in closer

Say, what was it that I’ve been searching for?
That’s right, exactly when were those days
When we defied gravity to see each other / When we used to meet, denying the attraction that was forming between us?

It’s like a waltz, isn’t it? So wondrous
At a crossroad lit with sunbeams seeming to whisper through the trees
As the two of us rotate as if in a waltz,
We express ourselves

Throwing up all my overheated emotions,
I could see the landscape
Over half a year ago, I made it smolder
By setting the image on fire

What was it that I’ve lost?
Even so, I’m fine, I tell you
We’ll probably seek out comparisons with our gravity

It’s like a waltz, isn’t it? So lovely
As we listen to chirps that seem to murmur
As if we’re dancing a waltz, the two of us
Express ourselves

Ah, repaint reality, which is playing dumb, with primary colors
I’ll draw you close to me, so, please
From there on, let’s continue to dance
Our very own waltz

It’s like a waltz, isn’t it? So wondrous
At a crossroad lit with sunbeams seeming to whisper through the trees
As the two of us rotate as if in a waltz,
We express ourselves
