Today's rain is the first rain in this humid, South East-Asian weather. To celebrate the blessing, here is one my favorite rain-themed poems, written by Sapardi Djoko Damono, a living legend and one of the best Indonesian poets if not the best himself.

and this is for you, dear garowyn

Tomorrow is... the launching for :becoming dew (this is really how they write the title), a Sapardi Djoko Damono musicalization album by Ari and Reda. Thanks Meina for letting me know!

Info on: Ari-Reda's blog.

It's a must to come!

Just have finished read Andrew & Joey. Gay life doesn't seem as pretty as in the manga... *laugh*

Talk about reading, why is it that Indonesian poetry somehow lose its charms as it's translated into English? Mr. McGlynn, I don't get any feeling when I read the translated version of SDD's poetry in Before Dawn.

 



Damn, I lost my bet again. Italy 2; Germany 0. Just that great.

Come Forward
(Sephiroth)
"Come, boy. Come and let me teach you what true strength means."

If You Don't Need Me
(Tezuka x Fuji)
"If you don't need me anymore, just kiss me goodbye and say it's over between us."

My Way
(Athrun)
"This time, let me do it my way."

Tears
(Tsuzuki x Hisoka)
"Tell me everything, and I'll be here to treasure your tears."

I need less time in front of my PC, I think...
