Wishlist (for this year and the next one)

I'm pretty forgetful, so I decidedc to post my wishlist now, while I still remember them. It's likely to not change much next year either. Most of the stuff here are waaaay out of my league, and I'd feel bad if anyone got them for me.

  • a pair (or several pairs) of socks
  • Tekken 6
  • a new pair of jeans
  • Rock Band (any incarnation, preferably the newer ones)
  • Guitar Hero 5
  • A new bridge saddle for my bass
  • that shirt I saw the other day at TA
  • a new bandanna
  • Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 2 (PS3 or PC)
  • Under the Dome by Stephen King
  • Paulo Coelho's The Winner Stands Alone
  • A small bookshelf for my room
  • Electronic setup to record bass into my laptop
  • that life-size guitar for Guitar Hero/Rock Band
  • A pair of plain black-white sneakers
Guess that's about it. It's a really wants vs. needs kinda thing.

Out of Pure Boredom (aka Follow the Girlfriend)

Well, I've got nothing to do here at my boarding house or whatever you call it, so I decided to follow what my girlfriend did and make a list of my 25 random thoughts and post them. Here they are:

  1. Gw gak yakin gw bisa bertahan ngekos terus
  2. I'm even less sure that I can live on my own in an apartment
  3. Tomorrow's my first anniversary with my girlfriend!
  4. I wish I didn't have a quiz tomorrow so I could hang out with her all day
  5. Jarang-jarang nih sinyal lagi bagus.
  6. Gw ngerasa masih belum berhasil sebagai pacar
  7. Cowok mana sih gak bisa dijadiin tempat curhat ama ceweknya?
  8. Nggak, bukan macam yang terbaik
  9. Hahah, knapa gw jadi negatif ya?
  10. Karakter HIMJA kan positif.
  11. Yey dia sms!
  12. My back hurts
  13. I need to go to the spine center thingy
  14. And the dentist
  15. Unexpectedly, I miss my sister
  16. I'll deny it wholeheartedly if anyone asks.
  17. I need a haircut
  18. Did I tell you tomorrow's my first anniversary?
  19. I suddenly wish I could afford a fancy dinner
  20. I miss playing the bass
  21. Should I take vocal lessons as well?
  22. Or maybe guitar lessons?
  23. Am I trying to start a one-man band?
  24. For some reason, they had a sale on condoms at Alfa mart last week, a pack for 9.900

Cheerio.

Change of Plans (aka Just for the Sake of Posting)

Well, I've been meaning to post something new for a while now, but with crappy connection, I've not been able to do so. Even now I'm hoping I can get this posted.

Anyway, since I can't post something proper, how about a song? Lyrics that is. If you want the song, google it, or check it on youtube. Look for the broadway recording, if you can.
It's a duet from the Broadway musical Aida, the names before the verses are the characters' names.

Written in the Stars
from the Broadway musical Aida

Aida:
I am here to tell you we can never meet again
Simple really, isn't it, a word or two and then
A lifetime of not knowing where or how or why or when
You think of me or speak of me and wonder what befell
The someone you once loved so long ago so well

Radames:
Never wonder what I'll feel as living shuffles by
You don't have to ask me and I need not reply
Every moment of my life from now until I die
I will think or dream of you and fail to understand
How a perfect love can be confounded out of hand
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time
For some God's experiment
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day

Aida (spoken):
Marry the princess, Radames...

Aida:
Nothing can be altered, there is nothing to decide
No escape, no change of heart, no anyplace to hide

Radames:
You are all I'll ever want, but this I am denied
Sometimes in my darkest thoughts, I wish I'd never learned

Aida & Radames:
What it is to be in love and have that love returned

Aida:
Is it written in the stars
Are we paying for some crime
Is that all that we are good for
Just a stretch of mortal time

Aida & Radames:
For some God's experiment
In which we have no say
In which we're given paradise
But only for a day

Pretty good song for those of you who feel like victims of fate, eh?

P.S.
no tag for once, too.
