Madu-Racun                                                                                                                      Begitulah, bahkan diantara  madu dan racun bisa jadi sebuah kesatuan yang unik.

Ini adalah puisi pertama saya yang saya buat dalam bahasa lain selain bahasa saya sendiri. Begitu saya mengaduk-aduk lagi file-file lama saya, saya cukup tertegun dan sedikit heran juga, ternyata saya bisa juga ya buat puisi beginian....*a big grin* Puisi yang saya tulis pada bulan November 2009 ini menceritakan mengenai seseorang yang menganggap bahwa dengan "mati" maka persoalan hidupnya akan selesai begitu saja. Akhirnya karena putus asa dengan ketidakadilan yang menjadi problematika hidupnya, seseorang yang menjadi tokoh utama dalam puisi ini memutuskan untuk mati dengan cara bunuh diri, dengan harapan dengan dia mati bunuh diri orang akan mengenal dan mengenangnya.

The sounds of raindrops are like a song. A friend of mine reminded me to a rain story, to my old memories, played my mind. Rain makes me realize what is a life, search trough, finding, parting, tears, happy-laughed, friendship, and love also. Rain makes me alive; it could make me dealing with my past. Rain teaches me in the process of waiting, and patience. I learn about the price of leave-taking and get-together processing. My fingers stopped to make any move from my keyboard, when a waitress came with another cup of hot chocolate. ‘It is for free. B...

Sebuah tulisan yang sempat-hampir terbuang.... A. A History of Indie’s Music Emergence Indie was a group movement music based from anything ideas, without any manipulative. This genre could be counted as a reverse-current form for mainstream music. We could see the difference between mainstream genre and indie from the label making process. Mainstream music was a big stream having had a lot of bands under the big label, an established music industry.
