Arts

What is an art based on your point of view? Well, I don’t really think that we, or at least myself, could really define what an art is. Because in my opinion, art is vast. We could make our own definition of art, but I’m not really sure which one is really true. Picasso had his opinion about an art which I think I kind of agree with him.

Art is a lie which makes us realize the truth.
-Picasso

Don’t ask me why, it just sounds right to me. :)
But if I have to define what an art is, I guess I’ll just define it in one word. Everything. Yes, I think everything in this world, and the outer world, is an art. A flower is an art. A falling leaf is an art. A cry of a baby is an art. So does a tsunami. You might think I am crazy by saying a tsunami is an art. But even in something disastrous lies a beauty. Once more, don’t ask me why. :)
Well, I actually just want to share some cool pictures of arts that I got from David Blaine’s twitter, but I also wanted to write a few things. So here are some of the pictures.

Life Is a Roller Coaster

Hey guys (and girls)..

It's been a while (again) since the last time I wrote here.

I have loads of things to share in my mind, mostly about the upside down of life, but maybe I'll forget most of them when I write this. lol.

Now I'm going to tell you about the up and down of the Indonesian Card Artist (I.C.A.), a card flourish community in Indonesia and the only community that I actively follow.
Let me start with a brief history of the I.C.A.

7 (or 9?) people who were devoted and loved card flourish, an art of manipulating cards apart from magic tricks, formed this community on February 1st, 2009. They're Gior, Rama, Rizky, Adie, Edward, Dhika, and Osamon. Their journey was really hard, especially because playing cards have a "bad reputation" in Indonesia. If you play cards (or maybe just hold them), people think that you're a gambler. But they didn't stop. They made an online forum and their community grew really fast. With some hard work, they finally began to rise from the shadows of playing card's bad reputation. People finally accepted the art and the I.C.A. tasted the fruits of their hard work, they appeared on radios and magazines.

But then, life didn't cooperate well like before. Though the community grew faster but it's been a flat moment for the I.C.A. C'est la vie.

But now, life has put them -probably- on the top of the roller coaster's rail. Less than a month, they appeared in so many TV programs.

I have known them since pretty much the beginning of their journey so I think that is really good for them, now I am referring to all of I.C.A. members, to be well known in Indonesia. It is time for card flourish in Indonesia to rise again. :D

I can sense that my writing is not structured anymore. lol

I'm so tired, but I wanted to write something here. haha..

So, this is the end for now, see you all again next time.

Oh, I put a of I.C.A.'s video when they're on TV (with me in there) :D

Thanks to Rama who has given me the chance to perform on TV.

Enjoy.

Late New Year

Hello again everybody,

It's 2011 now. I know its too late, but who cares? Better late than never.

So I wish you all the best thing this coming year. :)

As for me, this year starts with some good news - I would say they're great news. :)

I got 3 of rare decks (White Centurions, Brown Wynn, and Arcane Gold). Though I have to sell the first two decks, I am still happy that I used to have those decks.

Then I won the 2nd place in a competition. Yes, it was 2nd place, but that what I want.

You may think that I'm weird, but to be honest, the prize for the 2nd place was A LOT better than the 1st place. So now, I probably will get one of the rarest (or the most rare. lol ) uncut sheet deck, the Gold Arcane Uncut Sheet. :) -still waiting the confirmation tho.

I hope this year will be a good year for everyone, it does so far for me.

See you soon.

Feeling Blue

I don't know how to start this. But one thing for sure, the past two weeks wasn't my week at all.
All my anger, sadness, and loneliness, were mixed up and create a point where I think I would fall. I felt that the dark side inside my soul was getting stronger and darker.
But somehow I didn't fall. I keep standing, cos I don't give up that easily.

I remember a line/quote from The Dark Night, Batman to Harvey Dent. "He wanted to prove that even someone as good as you could fall."
I don't want to give anyone the satisfaction of seeing me fall. I keep thinking that the harder they want to see me fall, means the better I am - than them.

But again, I don't know how long I can stand, especially the only one who I care about (and the one who always give me energy and support, even though she doesn't realize it) seems to fade away. I will never stop trying to reach her back, will never stop to understand her, will never get tired praying for her best, will never stop to be there for her, even she's fading away. I will always try my best for her, as long as I can.

My health was also a problem. Sickness kept come and gone. Doesn't mean I didn't take care of my self, it's just an awful week(s) for me so its affecting my health too.

But tomorrow is a new day. I hope everything will be better. And hope I will always have a reason to keep standing through these stormy seas.
Until we meet again.. God bless you all.

A Really Bad Day

Well, today is (another) bad day for me. But I won't write why is it bad here, cos sometimes expressing your feelings on internet/blog like this could lead to some new problems.
It just feels some people don't respect me at all,and something bad keeps coming after another, I also feel like I gave someone else some of my bad luck. And because of that, I feel even worse.
I know I have some good friends to share with, but.. Arrgghh...I just wanna scream out loud now.
Hell..I have loads of thoughts to write, and I'm struggling whether I write them down or not, but I think I'll just keep it with me for now.
I'm just hoping everything will be fine by tomorrow (or maybe tomorrow will be worse)

ps: just writing this short took me almost an hour to decide (actually to edit) what I'm going to write.

Be Mine

Alone in a cold, dark night.
Waiting for the sun shines bright.

Looking for a better tomorrow.
With you standing on the same row.

It is so clear now.
I fall in love somehow.

I will complete you in my own way.
Keep you smiling every single day.

And I will always by your side.
To put your dark things aside.

So, come along with me.
And I promise, happy you will be.

You Are Mine

Because of you,
I can stand still today.
And only for you,
I want to live another day.

Now I say this to you,
To prove my love is true.

I will stand before God,
When we both will be one.
I will promise you I’ll be true.

I will be here and now,
Let we both take this vow.
I am so in love with you.

I’ll never know,
How I survive without you.
That’s why I want,
To always be with you.

Now I stand before God,
And I know you were mine.
I am so in love with you.
