Practice Makes Perfect

"So sweet I can hardly speak due to such trauma in my teeth
But your body language is telling me that you're worth the pain
So weak I can hardly keep, shaky legs holding up my feet
But your body language is telling me that I'm not to blame

Practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense

I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son
And I have done a few things I regret
But practice makes perfect
Practice makes perfect sense to me

Wake up, first light hearing you calling out
For your criminal clothing that fled the scene upon being ripped free
Conversation ensued
And I wanna do so many things to you
Sip after sip, you insist you're a hit.
Sip after sip, yeah I swear I can feel it.

I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son

I've become what a mother wouldn't want in a son

yeah, lirik lagu. lagi. jujur, saya agak ketinggalan karena baru ngedownload lagu ini (Practice Makes Perfect by Cute Is What We Aim For), soalnya saya juga baru cek draft message HP saya. (FYI, saya biasa nyatet judul lagu yang baru saya denger di radio ato di TV untuk kemudian saya tindak lanjuti [baca: download]) kebetulan waktu itu saya lagi nganggur berat, jadi saya memutuskan untuk ngeburn CD berisi lagu-lagu yang pernah saya niatin untuk didownload.
lanjut, kenapa saya bahas lagu ini? kenapa bukan lagu yang laen, semacam lagu dari The Pretty Reckless, band nya Taylor Momsen (si Little J di Gossip Girl)? oke, saya bahas lagu ini karena saya sedikit terkesiap sewaktu denger kalimat pertama dari lirik lagu ini. dalam hati saya, "omigod! jadi itu teks lagu??"
yeah, seseorang pernah berkata "so sweet i can hardly speak due to such trauma in my teeth" pada saya di SMS, dan ternyata itu adalah lirik lagu. kecewa? nggak juga.. bukankah ia sudah biasa seperti itu?
beberapa waktu yang lalu waktu masih jaman nya eFeS (Friendster, -red), dia juga pernah nulis shout out (yang nggak ngerti ditujukan buat siapa, ato mungkin cuma sekedar nulis aja?) "She's a backseat driver, a drama provider, an instant update of the world. She's a firstclass liar, a constant forgetter, she's attractive but bitter! Did you scream enough to make her cry? Did you turn around, turn around baby, dont return to me.." yang ternyata adalah lirik lagu She's a Lady nya Forever The Sickest Kids.
lanjut lagi. sewaktu saya ulang tahun, dia memberi saya sebuah kado (yang baru diberikan 5 bulan kemudian) yang disertakan dengan selembar kertas bertuliskan kata-kata ... yang ternyata lirik lagu Hopeless Love nya Daphne Loves Derby. kemudian, sewaktu kami bertengkar dalam suatu hubungan, dia nulis 2 buah notes di Facebook nya yang keduanya adalah lirik lagu. pertama lagunya Our Last Night yang Message Without a Meaning, yang kedua lagu Me Vs. The World nya Madina Lake yang sangat saya hafal mati. kecewa? nggak juga.. hanya ... *chuckles*
oke, tolong dicatat bahwa saya tidak sedang mengkritik, menyindir atau berniat menyakiti siapapun dalam blog ini. hanya membahas...

New Converse

i found these shoes at some shop in Bandung. i was really carving to buy them, because i havent seen anyone wearing this type of converse and it was cute. i was getting bored with my two-tones canvas; they were old and dirty; and stinky, maybe? because they had only been washed once.
but well, i couldnt get those shoes. why? yes, you name it: they didn't have the size. ohh geez! and then i asked a size for the purple-laced one, and they still didn't have the right size. for the pink-laced, they only had size 5 left and when i fit in it, my feet was like got stuck. for the purple-laced, they only had size 7 left and it was too big for me. i usually use the size 5 1/2, anyway.
but then i found another canvas, which was looking good also (well, those colorful-laced shoes were still better, though). the laces were only white (thats okay) but the color was good. they only had the size 6, but when i slipped in it, it fit well! so i decided to buy them.. (the picture of the shoes i bought cannot be included because i dont know how to attach picture in the middle of the text. is it im the one who doesnt know or is it in fact we cannot put it in the middle of the text?)

Farewell

"As we go on,
We remember,
All the times we,
Had together,
And as our lives change,
come whatever,
We will still be
Friends Forever.."

i used to think how fun a graduation will be. i used to think how exciting a freshman year will be. i used to think how funny a picture can be. but now, i dont wanna think one of those thoughts.. i dont wanna think about the graduation day (yeah, i do want to graduate though!) but well, i really dont want those farewells. i hate farewells. and when i think about farewells, it gets me thinking about how far you guys will live for the next few years. how long we will not meet each other for the next few years. and how im gonna miss you all like i will never have anyone like you anymore.. really, how time does go so fast..
when i was in the 10 grade, i used to think "when will the graduation be? ohh how im sick of all these things! the assignments, the uniforms, ... all of these school stuffs!" yeah, i was sick of being a high school student. dreaming about a cool freshman year. thinking about putting away the school's uniform. and when i was in 11 grade, i used to think "hey, we only get 1 more left! yeah! well, a year seems to be much longer though.. gosh!" and when in the 12 grade (like now) i dont wanna think about whats laid ahead.. (for what i said the bad things, of course)
everything's changing from year to year. the surroundings, the thoughts, the personalities, the school, even the people themselves. and for the farewell party last night, i always told myself "it wont make me cry this time, i will not cry. i will only cry by the graduation day, i guess. i will not cry tonight." and voila! i didnt cry! but i got this kind-of shock inside of me. like what i always get when i cant cry.. and the shock thing gets more and more when we watched the fireworks together. it was awesome, i confess, and it was much more than fun, and we were yelling like crazy, laughing like no one couldnt stop us, hugging each other, and i got this shock. i was laughing while shocking and yelling while shocking. i always hate to feel it..
i was chatting online with one of my BFs when i got home. we talked about many things and when it came to confessing what we felt on the farewell party, we both confessed we were scared. and now i just realize a line of the Graduation(Friends Forever) song by the Vitamin C..

"And there was me and you and well we got real blue,
Stay at home talking on the telephone with me,
We'd get so excited and we'd get so scared,
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair.."

and it makes me wanna hear the song for the first time together with all of my friends before we have to go.. (shit, i got this shock-like thing again! and im scared again..)

"And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives,
Where we're gonna be when we turn 25.
I keep thinking times will never change,
Keep on thinking things will always be the same.
But when we leave this year we won't be coming back,
No more hanging out because we're on a different track.
And if you got something that you need to say,
You better say it right now because you don't have another day.

Because we're moving on and we cant slow down.
These memories are playing like a film without sound.
And I keep thinking of that night in June,
I didn't know much of love but it came too soon.
And there was me and you and well we got real blue,
Stay at home talking on the telephone with me,
We'd get so excited and we'd get so scared,
Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair.

And this is how it feels.

As we go on,
We remember,
All the times we,
Had together,
And as our lives change,
come whatever,
We will still be
Friends Forever.

So if we get the big jobs and we make the big money,
When we look back now will our jokes still be funny?
Will we still remember everything we learned in school,
Still be trying to break every single rule?
Will little brainy Bobby be the stockbroker man?
Can Heather find a job that won't interfere with her tan?
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye,
Keep on thinking it's our time to fly,

And this is how it feels.

As we go on,
We remember,
All the times we,
Had together,
And as our lives change,
come whatever,
We will still be
Friends Forever.

La,la,la,la...yeah, yeah...la, la, la, la
We will still be,
Friends Forever

Will we think about tomorrow like we think about now?
Can we survive it out there?
Can we make it somehow? (somehow)
I guess I thought that this would never end,
And suddenly it's like we're women and men.
Will the past be a shadow that will follow us round,
Or will these memories fade when I leave this town?
I keep, keep thinking that it's not goodbye,
Keep on thinking it's our time to fly.


As we go on,
We remember,
All the times we,
Had together,
And as our lives change,
come whatever,
We will still be
Friends Forever.

As we go on,
We remember,
All the times we,
Had together,
And as our lives change,
come whatever,
We will still be
Friends Forever.

As we go on,
We remember,
All the times we,
Had together,
And as our lives change,
come whatever,
We will still be
Friends Forever.

As we go on,
We remember,
All the times we,
Had together,
And as our lives change,
come whatever,
We will still be
Friends Forever..."
