kua etnika, kelompok musik yang sudah malang melintang ke beberapa Negara Eropa dan Australia, tahun ini mengolah idiom musikal jazz sebagai peluang untuk mengekspresikan bahasa musiknya. Kali ini Kua Etnika mengusung beberapa repertoar karya Purwanto, seorang musisi yang memiliki basik teknik dan kultural Jawa. Nomor-nomor seperti Gumarenggeng, Gambar Carawak, Uababauw, Claptone, Konstan, Mc Grand, Terarus, Vertigong, Tumungkung, Sekedab, dll memperlihatkan spirit jazz dan Jawa yang kental. “Impropisasi untuk mencapai harmoni, ternyata membuka peluang-peluang teknis dan melodi yang sangat menarik,” ujar Purwanto. Itu juga membuka peluang persentuhan baru yang lebih segar. Jazz menjadi menarik dan hidup, karena selalu bersedia untuk menerima elemen musik di luar dirinya. “Ini sebenarnya seperti orang Jawa yang terbuka terhadap pengaruh budaya lain. Disinilah relevansi Jazz dan Jawa” tambah Purwanto. Barangkali ini akan menjadi jazz rasa Jawa. Atau ekspresi Jawa dalam semangat jazz. Tonton saja pertunjukannya.

Dear Love : May you Rest In Peace

It’s April 13th… your birthday

Usually on this day I get on my knee and send you one beautiful pray and thank God for sending you to my life even we’re far apart

You are the one that always be with me

When no one have their time for me even a little.

You are the one that holding my hand

When I lost my grip.

You are the one that give me warm hug

When I get cold.

You are the one that lend me and ear for my not-so-important story or just a whine.

You are the one that witness all bruises, pain and tears ever shed.

You always be there for me even I know…

You almost could not manage your own pain.

You are the best friend I’ve ever known

You are the best of friend I’ve ever had

You are the best friend that I don’t even dare to dream will have one.

I’m thanking God till this very moment ‘coz HE allow me to have such a great person like you for once in my life.

You will always be a love in my heart.

May you Rest In Peace…

And always watch me from up there, will you? J

Man Issue : is that why I am all alone till today?

I’ve grown up seeing some not so great example of man and their responsibility.

Male figure that indirectly abandon his family, part of the cause is his disability manage what so called life.

Male figure that harass little girl and act like it was no big deal.

Male figure that supposedto become a protector, guardian or whatever you name it turn to be the opposite.

Male figure that supposed to be could become someone to count on when you’re limb turn out to be a giant metal ball that crush.

Male figure that completely lose their manner and forgot the ‘ladies first attitude’

And last but not least…

Male figure that lost their mind and cheat their wives!!!and feel no guilty…

There are no perfect A prince charming but you’ll met just prince charming to complete your life…

Male figure with attitude that makes you blush, keeps butterfly on your tummy and lighten your body till you think you’ll fly…

An equal partner that at one point become your tightest competitor and at the other point is your solid wall to just lay back…

Someone that give you respect as life mates,

Someone that you could talk through the day with no slight of bored across,

Someone that you are not afraid to be the real you.

For real I haven’t found him yet, but I will…

Why I haven’t found him?

‘Coz till today I’ve met loads of great women with male figure by their side but for sure they stand tough on their own…

Once I’ve questioned ‘em…

Two version of answer comes up..

Rude – “kinda community accessory you must have”

Nice – “however he’ll always be there toughen me in a way, ‘coz I wont make it on my own”

I’ve learned my lesson thru their experience and for sure im on my search mode on for just Prince Charming…

aku, kamu dan sebuah pilihan...

"aku memilihmu
ketika kamu memilih jalan
untuk tidak memilihku

aku mengingatmu
ketika kamu mengingatkanmu
untuk tidak mengingatku

dalam keramaian aku mengenangmu
ketika dalam sepi
kamu lelap dan menghanguskanku

aku menunggumu
ketika kamu menunggu aku
untuk tidak menunggumu"

sementara di sini…


"aku memilih jalan
untuk menghindari kamu
dan kamu memilih melewati jalan itu
untuk menghindari aku.."

bagaimana caranya membuat hati mati rasa?

- Arkanda Putra Sagala / Tasya -

I Supposed to wish you a very happy birthday…

April…love it and also hate it…There are two reason that include two people that celebrate their birthday on this month and those two mark my life with their presence…

And B is one of them…

Today supposed to be B birthday… but B already gone, rest in a greatest peace and leaving me here alone remembering him…

No more birthday phone call to make, no more once a year conversation just to say happy birthday and I do miss you… and for sure no more midnight call just to hear ‘em playing guitar and sang me a song…

What should I do right now when I miss you so…only memories that we share together that I always recall just to feel your presence.

I don’t even have your picture or a picture where we’re together, nothing at all just a picture of you in my mind at our happiest day…

I know now you are at the happiest place of all but I miss you specially on the day like today where I supposed to make a call and wish you a very happy birthday and some conversation about stuff… even only thirty minute or less but that makes us both share some nice time…makes me happy…

B…is it wrong if I wish those moments to happen again, again and again…but I do realize it is something impossible…and all I colud do just send you a little prayer so you have a wonderful time there…

ps. B, I do really miss those midnight call that we used to have…

Selain YouTube, MySpace dan Multiply Tak Bisa Diakses!
Dewi Widya Ningrum - detikinet


YouTube (ist.)


Jakarta - Jumat (4/4/2008) kemarin, pemerintah mengirimkan surat ke APJII dan sejumlah Internet Service Provider (ISP) di Indonesia untuk segera mencekal situs-situs dan blog yang memuat film 'Fitna'.

Meski tak secara spesifik meminta YouTube untuk ditutup, namun bisa dipastikan, situs berbagi video ternama YouTube bakal menjadi salah satu sasaran pemblokiran.

Selain YouTube, situs jejaring sosial MySpace dan blog Multiply dikabarkan juga tak bisa diakses. Menurut salah satu anggota detikINET Forum berinisial Jackbauer, ia mengaku tak bisa lagi membuka situs YouTube dan Multiply. Bahkan menurutnya, situs MySpace, Metacafe dan RapidShare juga diblok.

Ia mengaku sudah menghubungi ISP-nya dan memang situs-situs tersebut dinyatakan sudah diblok oleh backbone-nya sehingga ISP juga tidak bisa meng-unblock. Berikut salinan e-mail yang diterima Jackbauer dari backbone-nya:

Para Pelanggan Yth.

Sehubungan dengan Surat Menteri Kominfo Nomor: 84/M.KOMINFO/04/08 tanggal 2 April 2008 Perihal: Pemblokiran Situs dan Blog Yang Memuat Film Fitna, maka situs berikut ini untuk sementara kami tutup sampai pemberitahuan lebih lanjut :
