There comes a time (akan ada saatnya)

Masalah yang datang pasti ada jalan keluar, seberat apapun itu pasti terselesaikan, hey wake up! YOLO [YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE] you can face all your problems!
Shake it off, let it go and just have fun!!!
mungkin belom sekarang tapi biarlah waktu yang akan menjawab semua tanda tanya itu, be positive in thinking and work hard! don't let anyone stole your happiness.
people, circumstances and the others can stop you temporarily - you are the only one who can do it permanently!!
here are just some notes from what I've been thinking, what's stuck on my mind lately. 

Akan ada saatnya dimana seorang pujaan hati akan membangunkan mu dengan secangkir kopi panas di pagi hari sembari mencium kening mu.

Akan ada saatnya dimana semua perjalanan panjang ini akan menemukan suatu jalan keluar meskipun harus keluar hari semak-belukar dan lika-liku hidup yang penuh drama ini.

Akan ada saatnya dimana sesorang yang dulu tak pernah menganggap mu ada, akan sangat membutuhkan mu, namun saja hati mu sudah tertutup untuk semua cinta palsu yang lain.

Akan ada saatnya dimana semua yang kelihatan nya suram mulai cerah, dan kesuraman yang dulu tak akan menggangu mu dari semua yang kamu miliki sekarang.

Akan ada saatnya dimana yang pacaran akan segera putus dan yang jomblo makin ngenes *eh maaf!

Akan ada saatnya kamu menyesal namun sudah tidak ada guna nya lagi, kasian!

Akan ada saatnya kita harus sadar dan mengerti tentang kenyataan bahwa orang yg kita inginkan gak pernah bisa kita miliki.

Akan ada saatnya dimana hal-hal kecil yang dirindukan itu hilang, sampai akhirnya kita jadi terbiasa dengan ketiadaannya

Akan ada saatnya kamu bisa menikmati apa yg kamu perjuangkan hari ini.

Akan ada saatnyanya kamu akan merindukanku, sedalam dan sesering aku merindukanmu, hanya saja waktunya belum datang.

 Akan ada saatnya dimana tupai yang lihat melompat trus dia laper dan akan makan juga (apasih?)

Akan ada saat nya ketika PMS tak lagi valid dijadikan alasan ketika mood berantakan.(Nah lo?)

Akan ada saatnya kita jatuh cinta pada orang yang tidak disangka dan malahan putus dengan orang yang tidak kita inginkan (yah gitu deh!)

 Akan ada saatnya kamu juga akan sadar, bahwa mengharapkan nya menghabiskan waktu yang harusnya kau pakai untuk bisa bahagia.

Akan ada saatnya dimana kamu akan pergi jauh dari pintu yang telah kau ketuk sebegitu lama nya namun tak ada yang membukakan nya.

Akan ada saatnya dimana doa mu akan terjawab, sehari yang tadi nya 24 bisa jadi 25 jam (kalo ini jelas mustahil)

Akan ada saatnya orang yang suka PHP akan diPHP-in dan Player gonna be Played! *Noted!

Akan ada saatnya dimana kamu yang akan menjadi sutradara dari semua drama yang pernah dia buat.

Akan ada saatnya rindu mu berwujud menjadi rindu yang nyata. Tersampaikan dan terbalaskan. Tak melulu hanya tertumpuk dalam dada.

 Akan ada saatnya kamu akan cetar membahana badai halilintar, *apasih?

Akan ada saatnya dimana kamu tersenyum pada semua kebodohan yang pernah kamu lakukan.

Akan ada saatnya dimana masalah hati sudah bukan jadi masalah serius lagi, ciyus! *plak!

Akan ada saatnya kamu sendiri yang akan ditakuti setan, dan setan yang justru lari jauh dari mu.

Akan ada saatnya dimana semua tanda tanya yang belum terjawab akan terjawab!

Akan ada saatnya dimana HATERS will SHY to themselves, prove it!!

Akan ada saatnya dimana ruang hati yang telah lama hampa akan ada yang tinggal di sana dan mendiaminya.

Akan ada saatnya kamu tak akan galau lagi karena yang digalauin sudah berada disisi mu.

English!

There comes a time when you need to stop, step back, and think. That time seems to have caught up to me.

 There comes a time in your life when you start to realize who's real and who's fake. Separate yourself from the fake people And just do you.

 There comes a time when you have to stop being afraid of what could go wrong, and start thinking of what could go right.

 There comes a time when you have to be your own hero. Because sometimes, the people you can't live without, can live without you.

There comes a time where you have to stop beating yourself up over the mistakes you've made

There comes a time in life when you learn to accept yourself rather than trying to accept what others think of you

There comes a time in your life when you realise who matters, who never did and who always will.

There comes a time when you just have to accept the fact its over & move on

There comes a time when you have to stop trying to make everyone else happy and just do it for yo.

 There comes a time when you need to look around and say "I deserve better than this," and realize that you are still young enough to have it

 There comes a time in ones life when they realize the only person they can truly trust 100%, is themselves.

 There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it.

There comes a time when you're sick of trying, sick of getting the same silence, the same response, and the same hurt feeling. 

There comes a time when silence is betrayal.

There comes a time when silence is not gold anymore!

There comes a time in every rightly constructed boy`s life when he has a raging desire to go somewhere and dig for hidden treasure.

There comes a time when you have to choose between turning the page or just closing the book.

There comes a time when that shit doesn't work anymore.

Figure of speech

"Figures of speech" redirects here. For the hip hop group, see Figures of Speech.

A figure of speech is the use of a word or words diverging from its usual meaning. It can also be a special repetition, arrangement or omission of words with literal meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words in it, as in idiom, metaphor, simile, hyperbole, or personification. Figures of speech often provide emphasis, freshness of expression, or clarity. However, clarity may also suffer from their use, as any figure of speech introduces an ambiguity between literal and figurative interpretation. A figure of speech is sometimes called a rhetorical figure or a locution.
Not all theories of meaning have a concept of "literal language" (see literal and figurative language). Under theories that do not, figure of speech is not an entirely coherent concept.
Rhetoric originated as the study of the ways in which a source text can be transformed to suit the goals of the person reusing the material. For this goal, classical rhetoric detected four fundamental operations that can be used to transform a sentence or a larger portion of a text: expansion, abridgement, switching, and transferring.

The four fundamental operations

Main article:

Rhetorical operations

The four fundamental operations, or categories of change, governing the formation of all figures of speech are:

• addition (adiection), also called repetition/expansion/superabundance
• omission (detractio), also called subtraction/abridgement/lack
• transposition (transmutatio), also called transferring
• permutation (immutatio), also called switching/interchange/substitution/transmutation

These four operations were detected by classical rhetoricians, and still serve to encompass the various figures of speech. Originally these were called, in Latin, the four operations of quadripartita ratio. The ancient surviving text mentioning them, although not recognizing them as the four fundamental principles, is the Rhetorica ad Herennium, of unknown authorship, where they are called πλεονασμός (addition), ἔνδεια (omission), μετάθεσις (transposition) and ἐναλλαγή (permutation). Quintillian then mentioned them in Institutio Oratoria. Philo of Alexandria also listed them as addition (πρόσθεσις), subtraction (ἀφαίρεσις), transposition (μετάθεσις), and transmutation (ἀλλοίωσις).

Examples

The figure of speech comes in many varieties. The aim is to use the language inventively to accentuate the effect of what is being said. A few examples follow:

• "Around the rugged rocks the rugged rascal ran" is an example of alliteration, where the consonant r is used repeatedly. Whereas, "Sister Suzy sewing socks for soldiers" is a particular form of alliteration called sibilance, because it repeats the letter s. Both are commonly used in poetry.
• "She would run up the stairs and then a new set of curtains" is a variety of zeugma called a syllepsis. Run up refers to ascending and also to manufacturing. The effect is enhanced by the momentary suggestion, through a pun, that she might be climbing up the curtains. The ellipsis or omission of the second use of the verb makes the reader think harder about what is being said.
• "Military Intelligence is an oxymoron" is the use of direct sarcasm to suggest that the military would have no intelligence. This might be considered to be a satire and a terse aphorism. "But he's a soldier, so he has to be an Einstein" is the use of sarcasm through irony for the same effect. The use of hyperbole by using the word Einstein calls attention to the ironic intent. An Einstein is an example of synecdoche, as it uses a particular name to represent a class of people: geniuses.
• "I had butterflies in my stomach" is a metaphor, referring to my nervousness feeling as if there were flying insects in my stomach. To say "it was like having some butterflies in my stomach" would be a simile, because it uses the word like which is missing in the metaphor.

Categories of figures of speech

Scholars of classical Western rhetoric have divided figures of speech into two main categories: schemes and tropes. Schemes (from the Greek schēma, form or shape) are figures of speech that change the ordinary or expected pattern of words. For example, the phrase, "John, my best friend" uses the scheme known as apposition. Tropes (from the Greek tropein, to turn) change the general meaning of words. An example of a trope is irony, which is the use of words to convey the opposite of their usual meaning ("For Brutus is an honorable man; / So are they all, all honorable men").
During the Renaissance, scholars meticulously enumerated and classified figures of speech. Henry Peacham, for example, in his The Garden of Eloquence (1577), enumerated 184 different figures of speech. Professor Robert DiYanni, in his book "Literature - Reading Fiction, Poetry, Drama and the Essay" wrote: "Rhetoricians have catalogued more than 250 different figures of speech, expressions or ways of using words in a nonliteral sense.".
For simplicity, this article divides the figures between schemes and tropes, but does not further sub-classify them (e.g., "Figures of Disorder"). Within each category, words are listed alphabetically. Most entries link to a page that provides greater detail and relevant examples, but a short definition is placed here for convenience. Some of those listed may be considered rhetorical devices, which are similar in many ways.

Blue December

Hello December, Unbelievable finally I come back to this month again, I feel so glad! this the last  month of the year and also so special.
I've been waiting so many time when I was alone in dark and when no one hears me but the music does! I love Christmas music so much!
Too many things I want to share here, I just feel in love with someone, someone who used to be a stranger to me but now become much value to me! someone who can make feel like I am home again. I am not wishing for many things to happen in this December, just let it flow!
This morning I wake up so early, and having my morning coffee as my ritual and I am feeling like I am in heaven!
Ibarat semua gunung telah ku daki dan semua goa sudah ku susuri namun tak kunjung ku temukan arti cinta namun hanya pada nya lah semua nya itu ada, aku tak kuasa dibuatnya bertekuk lutut dan seperti rokok yang acapkali ku hisap, semain pula aku kecanduan pada senyum manis nya, senyuman polos yang mengandung selaksa makna.
Hari-hari yang ku lewati akhir-akhir ini begitu drama dan penuh superficial, tapi aku adalah aktor yang baik untuk berperan dalam menyembunyikan semua rasaku pada nya.
Aku tak peduli apakah dia tau atau tak tau, tapi perhatian ku padanya sudah sangat melebihi batas, dan melanggar skenario dalam drama hidup yang ku jalani.
Yah itulah yang terjadi akhir-akhir ini... sungguh penuh tipu muslihat.
Setiap ku berjuang melawan rasa hanya berujung pada rasa kangen yang membunuh.
This is what I feel, this is true and I am not going to tell a lie to my own self.
Everyone is home for Christmas except me and that tears me up so much!
This is really a blue December! It's so damn cold outside and I need you to hold me back!

I drink a lot of liquor and that's warm my body but that's not just only I wanted! but you!
Whatever it is, I feel every step when I am not alright and I am feeling alright <3

Camping with friends

Friday 23rd November 2012

Pagi itu sekitar jam 11-an aku tebangun dari tidur, rasanya tidurnya pulas sekali sampai lupa kalo hari ini sudah ada janji camping sama teman-teman dan bakal menjalani suatu sejarah baru lagi dalam hidup, sungguh hari terlihat begitu suram dan aku pun tak begitu bergairah, sampe-sampe harus bolos kuliah karena telat bangun dipagi hari, oh man!
Sebelum tidur malam saya sudah menyetel alarm tapi kok gak mempan gitu yah bangunin aku? apa alaram nya yang gak bekerja atau mungin aku saja yang begitu kebo kalo tidur? ENTAH!
yah! yang pasti saya gak jadi ngampus dan kalaupun ngampus udah pasti telat! dan saya pun berpikir positif aja ---> itu takdir! oke sip!!
Karena telat sudah jadi alasan utama dan sekaligus satu dari sekian alasan lain nya makanya saya putuskan saja dengan cara saksama dan dalam tempo yang sesingkat-singkatnya untuk bolos aja (minta tirajam) well, setelah bangun dan sudah pasti langsung cakep maka saya putuskan lagi buat mandi biar lebih kece (baca: biar gak bau asem) LOL!
Dan setelah mandi yang begitu kital bahkan lebih cepat dari perambatan cahaya, saya pun langsung bergegas ke kampus, dan ternyata di sana belom banyak teman-teman saya yang ngumpul, duh! ini judulnya nasib dtang lebih awal!
Jadi kesimpulan di atas boleh terlambat asal jangan telat-telat banget dan boleh duluan asal jangan terlalu awal (ajaran sesat) :|
Pagi itu saya bersama teman saya yang super gokil namanya Daniel, panggil aja Dany atau Kangkung juga gak apa-apa (soalnya dia doyan makan kangkung) HAHAH *peace love and gahol*
tak lama setelah pukul 14 WIB, datanglah teman-teman yang lain, dengan berbagai obrolan yang begitu random, ada yang bilang kalo bawaan nya begitu berat, ada yang ngeluh kehujanan dijalan, sebagian lagi ngeluh capek dan lain sebagainya *tutup telinga*
Ada teman saya namanya Yeka, kadang di panggil OMES a.k.a Otak MESum (soalnya tiap obrolan nya selalu frontal, minta dibacok banget nih orang) nah dia adalah salah satu orang ter-reseh yang pernah saya kenal! tapi orangnya baek juga sih! Yang bikin saya dan yang lain nya kesel karena sampai udah mau berangkat juga eh malah belom keliatan batang hidung nya, akirnya semua harus nungguin dia dulu, kata orang AMBON apa gak CUKI MAI? LMAO!
Tak lama setelah itu dia datang dengan alasan classicnya, katanya sih ban nya pecah, yah udah gak apa-apa, yang penting bukan kepala ente aja yang pecah! HAHA!!
Pukul 14:30 kita semua langsung berangkat menuju SIUNG BITCH, I mean SIUNG BEACH! *Ooops typo*  see you again JOGJA ~~~~ \o/
Diperjalanan malah hujannya turun, sungguh menarik sekali dan semacam sebuah petualangan yang super kocok dan tentunya bikin jengkel, semua pada bawa rain coat hanya saya dan Daniel sendiri yang gak bawa apa-apa, ya sudahlah berserah aja pada takdir, kalo memang kehujanan dan basah kuyup trus masalah gitu buat lo?
Setelah hampir tiga jam diperjalanan akhirnya nyampe juga, dan setelah melihat pantai dan mendengar gemuruh bunyi ombak yang begitu besar rasanya semua penderitaan dijalan tadi hilang begitu saja, rasanya pengen lari-lari balik ke Jogja #eh maksudnya lari di sepanjang pantai sambil BILANG WOW PAKE GITU!
perasaan yang tadinya kesel sirnah dan diganti dengan suka cita yang begitu luar biasa! OH MAN!

Setelah sampai di pantai, aku dan teman-teman ku langsung bangun tenda, dan ada 5 tenda... 3 tenda nya untuk cewek dan 2 nya buat cowok! eskipun begitu capek tapi semua sudah terbayar sudah dengan melihat keindahan alam nya pantai Siung, sungguh luar biasa! OH MY GOD!
Waktu berjalan begitu cepat dan sudah agak larut, saat itu sekita jam 8-an malam smua tenda dan urusan tempat tinggal lain nya beres, malah perut mulai ngambek, semua makhluk hidup yang ada dialamnya minta dikasih makan racun #eh!
Aku dan Daniel langsung saja melipir ke warung samping pantai and GUESS WHAT? rupanya harga makanan di pantai super duper murah!! bahkan setara sama seperti di Jogja...
waktu itu dingin abis kehujanan makanya pengen ngisih perut dengan yang anget-anget gitu! makanya aku dan Daniel pesan indomie-rebus-pake-telor dan harganya cuman IDR 5k/porsi, gimana tertarik? (promosi terselubung)
Sambil nunggu ibu nya buatin mie nya, gak ada salahnya juga kali kalo nyicipin kuping macan, eh kuping gajah maksudnya, hih! dan setelah kami berdua makan, langsung balik lagi ke tenda, perjalanan nya gak jauh-jauh amat, pokoknya gak jauh deh kayak semua janji palsu yang pernah kau berikan padaku, eh eh eh (apa-apaan ini?) :|
Da suatu hal yang bikin saya ngakak mampus adalah teman saya Indah yang entah dia sadar apa gak, tapi hello? ini kan namanya camping kok bisa dia beli nasi goreng di pantai? duh! ngakak brutal!!

Pukul 22:00 dan tampaknya sudah tdak ada lagi rintik hujan dipantai, cuacanya lumayan dingin sedingin hatiku saat itu *eaaa* dan semua teman-teman pada keluar dan mulai lah sesi obrolan dibuka, dan dibuka pula dengan sesi ruang jujur, duh rasanya pengen lari (lari dari kenyataan) ini permainan apa modus kepo doang nih? curiga! dan meskipun begitu saya tertarik juga sih sebenarnya supaya bisa terlibat di dalamnya, dan waktu itu semua rahasia yang sudah bertahun-tahun dikubur, disimpan rapat-rapat dlaam hati keluar juga! HAHAH mampus!!
Pakde, iya sebut saya pakde (aku juga gak yau nama aslinya) tapi berhubung dianya yang paling senior diantara kita maka panggil aja pakde! Pakde datang membawa kayu bakar, asek!! kita main bakar-bkaran tenda, HEH! *ditampar orang-orang sekampung* kita buat api unggun! HOREEE!
Bukan saya kalo tidak punya ide-ide genius (pencitraan terselubung) waktu itu tidak ada bensin dan semua barang yang bisa di bakar malah basah, yang saya coba aja ngatur kayu nya menjulang ke atas seperti huruf A secara berselang-seling dan di bawahnya di biarin kosong (eh ambigu) lalu di bawhnya di taroh karto super mie yang belom masah trus bakar deh! WOW jadi juga ternyata, meskipun akhirnya mati juga tapi seperti yang sudah saya katakan tadi kalo saya kan genius (minta di iris) makanya saya pake plastik aja biar nyala apinya lebih besar dan YEAH apinya jadi juga! :))))

sesi jeprat-jeprit pun dimulai, yeah! HOREEE API UNGGUN nyala juga berkat saya! *KRIKKKK!!!

Pukul 00:00. Rasanya hanget juga berlama-lamaan di samping api, dan suasanya di luar juga gak begitu dingin, aku memilih untuk tidur aja di luar sambil ngorol panjang lebar, dan bercanda-gurau sama cewek-cewek cantik :*
Tak lama setelah itu rasa laper pun tiba, dan Pakde, saya dan Aa bangkit dari tempat tidur (baca: pasir) trus rame-rame buatin mie, kayaknya enak nih makan mie sambil ngobrol, yuk cus!
setelah itu lanjutkan lagi ceritanya, sungguh malam yang panjang, iya panjang banget karena aku pun nyaris gak tidur malam itu!
Yang lain pada tidur malah kita asyik-asyik makan *biarin!
Betapa sejuknya suasana mata dan hati dan tentu saja pikiran malam itu, sungguh malam yang begitu indah berada di alam terbuka dan melihat gemerlapan bintang di angkasa! OH sungguh tak terlukisakan!

 Saturday 24th November 2012

Pukul 05:00. Pagi yang begitu sejuk dan udarah yang begitu digin dan segar merasuk hingga ke jiwa dan menetramkan semua rasa, aku dan teman-teman semua bangun dan kita langsung ke bukit, di ufuk timur ada sebuah bukut batu yang menjulang tinggi tak tergoyahkan, meskipun sudah diterpa badai prahara beratus-ratus tahun lama nya tapi tetap kokoh beerdiri dengan gagah dan gigih! sungguh menakjubkan ciptaan TUHAN semesta alam!
I am sorry to say but I am feeling like I'm having sex with the nature, feels so captivating and it makes me feel alright, eye-orgasm, brain-orgasm and also ear-orgasm! OMG!
Burung-burung beryanyi menyongsong pagi dan suara ombak yang tak terpadamkan, suasana laut yang bergelora, sungguh suatu kombinasi yang sungguh alamiah, SEMPURNA!

can you see the sky? the small island? the incredible sea. how do you feel? let me know what you feel, if you were there!

 feels like i don't wanna go home! pleaseee!

with Aa and Daniel! wow we are young! this is amazing!

Such a beautiful beach! OMG! <3

JUST AMAZING!

Pukul 10:00. Pagi itu setelah balik dari bukit yang begitu indah kita langsung menenggelamkan diri, membasahkan tubuh di laut (baca: mandi) cuaca pagi yang begitu bersahabat, sungguh sangat mengasyikan! Firman teman saya yang tentunya coffeeholic juga tampaknya dia seperti paranormal yang bisa baca perasaan saya, seperti tak disuruh namun namanya juga teman jadi pasti sudah saling paham, dia buatin coffee and this is one of the best morning coffee ever! thank you bro!
Having coffee and smoking with friends in the beach is one of the best moment I've ever had in my life!

Pukul 11: Saatnya bersiap-siap untuk pulang, semua tenda dirombak dan saatnya membilas badan di kamar mandi, oh rasanya segar sekali.. sungguh ini adalah salah satu moment yang gak bakal saya lupakan dalam hidup saya! sekitar jam 12-an kita lalu say good bye and see you again to the beach! thank for for everything! I wish that one day I will come there again!

 

HERE WE ARE!! I MISS YOU GUYS LIKE CRAZY!! I MISS THIS PLACE SO MUCH!! <3

"Aku rindu malam kelam, dingin dan beraburan banyak bintang di angkasa, duduk di tepih pantai sambil menyalakan api unggun, berbagi canda-tawa dengan teman-teman dan sembari menyeruput secangkir kopi dalam gelap, menghisap rokok sambil mendengar dashyatnya bunyi ombak yang terpecah di lautan, sungguh aku kangen semua hal itu" - OLDRY RONALD
