Glee - In My Life


There are places I remember 
All my life, though some have changed 
Some forever not for better 
Some have gone and some remain 

All these places have their moments 
With lovers and friends I still can recall 
Some are dead and some are living 
In my life I've loved them all 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/beatles/in+my+life_10026479.html ] 
But of all these friends and lovers 
There is no one compares with you 
And these memories lose their meaning 
When I think of love as something new 

Though I know I'll never lose affection 
For people and things that went before 
I know I'll often stop and think about them 
In my life I love you more 

Though I know I'll never lose affection 
For people and things that went before 
I know I'll often stop and think about them 
In my life I love you more 
In my life I love you more

The Script - If You Ever Come Back


"If You Ever Come Back"
If you're standing with your suitcase
But you can't step on the train
Everything's the way that you left it
I still haven't slept yet

And if you're covering your face now
But you just can't hide the pain
Still setting two plates on the counter but eating without you

If the truth is you're a liar
Then just say that you're okay
I'm sleeping on your side of the bed
Goin' out of my head now

And if you're out there trying to move on
But something pulls you back again
I'm sitting here trying to persuade you like you're in the same room

And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
And I wish you could still give me a hard time
And I wish I could still wish it was over
But even if wishing is a waste of time
Even if I never cross your mind

I'll leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back, if you ever come back
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back if you ever come back now
Oh if you ever come back if you ever come back

Now they say I'm wasting my time
'Cause you're never comin' home
But they used to say the world was flat
But how wrong was that now?

And by leavin' my door open
I'm riskin' everything I own
There's nothing I can lose in a break-in that you haven't taken

And I wish you could give me the cold shoulder
And I wish you can still give me a hard time
And I wish I could still wish it was over
But even if wishing is a waste of time
Even if I never cross your mind

I'll leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back, if you ever come back
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
Oh, if you ever come back, if you ever come back

If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
I know you're out there somewhere so just remember this
If it's the fighting you remember or the little things you miss
Oh just remember this, oh just remember this

I'll leave the door on the latch
If you ever come back, if you ever come back
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back
There'll be a smile on my face and the kettle on
And it will be just like you were never gone
There'll be a light in the hall and the key under the mat
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now
Oh, if you ever come back, if you ever come back

And it will be just like you were never gone
And it will be just like you were never gone
And it will be just like you were never gone
If you ever come back, if you ever come back now

Trip to The Hidden Paradise in East Java - Pulau Sempu

Pulau Sempu
Rabu (18/07) adalah hari yang saya tunggu-tunggu. Rencana backpacker ke Pulau Sempu akhirnya terlaksana juga. Bersama sembilan orang teman saya dari Komunikasi Unair, kami berangkat dari Surabaya dengan rute Gubeng, Surabaya - Terminal Bungurasih, Surabaya - Terminal Arjosari, Malang - Pantai Sendang Biru - Pulau Sempu.

Kami bersepuluh, cukup menghabiskan sekitar Rp 100.000/orang untuk perjalanan PP Surabaya - Sempu. Dengan rincian:

Komuter Gubeng - Terminal Bungurasih Rp 3.000/orang
Bus Ekonomi Surabaya - Malang PP Rp 20.000/orang
Kendaraan umum Terminal Arjosari - Pantai Sendang Biru PP Rp 40.000/orang
Perahu penyebrangan Sendang Biru - Sempu PP Rp 100.000/rombongan @ Rp 10.000/orang
Guide pulang pergi menyusuri Pulau Sempu Rp 200.000/rombongan @ Rp 20.000/orang
Masuk Pantai Sendang Biru Rp 5.000/orang
Sewa tenda Rp 8.000/orang
Sumbangan sukarela pos perijinan memasuki Pulau Sempu. Harga yang terjangkau untuk perjalanan yang menyenangkan.

Menyebrang ke Pulau Sempu
Meski dalam perjalanan diguyur hujan, namun perjalanan kami tetap menyenangkan. Sesampainya di Pulau Sempu, kami harus menyusuri hutan sepanjang 2,4 Km untuk sampai ke lokasi camp di Segara Anakan. Akibat hujan yang terus mengguyur, jalanan yang kami lewati menjadi licin, berlumpur, dan becek. Beberapa dari kami pun sempat terjatuh berkali-kali.

Sebelum perjalanan pulang ke Surabaya
Setelah dua jam menyusuri hutan, sampailah kami di Segara Anakan. Dengan rasa bahagia setelah perjalanan panjang, kami pun langsung menceburkan diri disana. Karena hari sudah mulai gelap, kami mendirikan tenda untuk tempat beristirahat di malam harinya. Perut-perut pun mulai keroncongan, untungnya kami sudah menyiapkan bekal dari Surabaya untuk dimasak di sana. Mie Goreng, Sosis, Roti dan Snack menjadi teman kami disana.

Pulau Sempu yang sekarang agak berbeda dari cerita yang saya baca di beberapa blog. Mereka bercerita mengenai keindahan Pulau Sempu tanpa ada kekurangannya. Disana saya melihat sendiri bagaimana masih banyak sampah yang ditinggalkan para pengunjung. Saya sedikit kecewa juga mengetahui hal itu, kenapa mereka tidak membawa kembali sampah yang sudah mereka buat?

Namun, Pulau Sempu tetap indah dimata saya. Airnya yang jernih, karang bolong, hutannya yang hijau membuat saya tetap merindukan Pulau Sempu. Alangkah baiknya jika pengunjung menjaga kebersihan dan tidak membuat sampah di sana.

Christina Perri - For A Thousand Years


Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
