Yea, that's impossible not to like this song. THOUSANDS THUMBS UP FOR SHONTELLE!! I'm kinda trembled when i'm listening to this song, the words are so deep .. stuck into your heart!! (a bit exaggerating, I know --" ). You just need to listen to this song.
And my 'nowplaying' is JBieber's Never Say Never. It's good to listen too. ... Okay, MAJOR good, actually..!! You know what, I'm not a big fan of this cutie Justin Bieber, but his songs are quiet nice in my ears and almost all his songs in his album, My World 2.0, do exist in my playlist. Beside Never Say Never, I'm also now listening to Never Let You Go and Favorite Girl. It's weird singing his songs, because it's all about girl, and think I'm not gonna sing it in front of people..
Liam Neeson as Zeus, the leader of the Gods of Mount Olympus
Ralph Fiennes as Hades, God of the Underworld
Gemma Arterton as Io
Alexa Davalos as Andromeda
"I can't understand why friends of mine said this movie is not that good, the story is predictable just like Percy Jackson (ha! I haven't watched that movie, guess I'll just wait the DVD to come out), or whatever.. Well, I think again and I can't refuse because they're right. Let me tell ya, the story is so simple : Perseus' adventure to save Argos. But It's appeared in the form of Greek Mythology.
--Perseus, a part-man-part-god was the son of Zeus whose brother is Hades. Zeus created the mankind and he loved them so much. But once, the people from Argos destroyed Zeus' image. Zeus was angry and the evil Hades persuaded him to punish the men. And on and on... Finally, Perseus had to face the Kraken and defeated it. Perseus won and The End.--
As simple as Alice in Wonderland. I know why : this is a remake. Alice is not a remake but it is based on an old famous book. Clash of The Titans is a remake from an old movie in the same title. Both Titanic and Romeo Juliet are so famous and fabolous at their age. Now, if I watch them again, I can't see any special thing on them, there are many more stories which are more complicatedly amazing.
But, but, but... For them who like Greek Legend and fantasy so much, this movie is definitely a-must-see film. And I was one of them when I was at senior high school. Now? I dunno, perhaps half-yes half-no. Haha...
Here is what I mean. I used to just imagine those Zeus, Olympus, Pegasus, Andromeda, Perseus, and others, but now, I can see it, I can watch it visually. The story became clear to me. Isn't that great??!! Well, okay, yes, I haven't watched the old Clash of the Titans, perhaps that's why this film is so so so so so so great for me.
Perhaps again, my sense of fantasy is stronger than others. Because this also happened when I watched The Golden Compass. Nobody said the movie was great, it was just me, even I bought the second book of His Dark Material series : The Subtle Knife. Most of them said they didn't understand the story. Unfortunate, because I thought the story was even greater than Harry Potter series. And I was very dissapointed when I knew the movie wouldn't be continued because the previous film didn't gain much succes. Huh.. -_- "

Once upon a time, there lived a cloudless young girl named Lyra. Since her mother was dead, she only lived with her father in a small city. Her family was not a rich one, but they lived happily although they had to work very hard just to get a food.
Her father was a blacksmith and Lyra herself worked as a messenger who sent message from one to another. She enjoyed the job where she could explore the whole city. She woke early everymorning to get dressed with her messenger-uniform and then got to work. Her bestfriend, Ronan, always stayed in the mouth of the alley to pick her up and then they’d walk together to work even though Ronan was a pipework, not a messenger like her.
Once, when Lyra was walking on the street with Ronan, she unexpectedly found a dirty and ugly crystal ball. That was the ugliest ball she’d ever seen but she brought it home because she surely thought that there was something uncovered in it. Ronan glanced at it in disgust but Lyra just said, “ Don’t judge a book by its cover.”
Lyra put the ball on the table in her room and stared at it everytime she had a chance wondering what she should do with it. Until several times, she had no idea what to do and finally decided that it was just a ball, nothing special.
Some days later, the ball fell onto the floor accidentally and broke into pieces. Surprisingly, there was a light flew out of the broken-ball. It reached Lyra’s body and blew her away to somewhere undetectable. Lyra was unconscious for a while and when she was already awake, she was standing on a vast green grassland.
Something caught by her eyes was much more incredible. The grassland was a yard of a big beautiful castle that stood strongly in front of her. Lyra wasn’t sure what was happening, but this was too precious to be passed by. So she walked through the grass and met someone on the way. It was Ronan. Lyra couldn’t believe her eyes. What was he doing there?
“ Hi, Lyra.” He grinned at her. “ Welcome, home! Yea, this is your home now.”
“ Home? Why? And why are you here? Who exactly you are?!”
“ I’m one of the guards of this castle. I was sent to search for you. You are the chosen one to own all of these because of your sincere and your hard work. You’re lucky, Lyra. And your dad also. Other guards are taking him here.”
“ Sincere? Me? Tell me what sincere did I do!”
“ At least you took the dirty ball while no one had no willing even just to take a look at it. Don’t judge a book by its cover, remember? That was what you said.”
Lyra smiled.
So, Lyra lived happily with her father in her new living place. She wore splendid dresses, no more messenger-uniform. A few years later, she grew up into a very beautiful woman and built a kingdom with herself as the queen. Ronan was not a guard anymore. He married the queen and they lived happily ever after.
* Telah bertasbih kepada Allah apa saja yang ada di langit dan apa saja yang ada di bumi; dan Dia-lah Yang Maha Perkasa lagi Maha Bijaksana.
* Hai orang-orang yang beriman, mengapa kamu mengatakan apa yang tidak kamu perbuat?
* Amat besar kebencian di sisi Allah bahwa kamu mengatakan apa-apa yang tiada kamu kerjakan. * Sesungguhnya Allah menyukai orang-orang yang berperang di jalan-Nya dalam barisan yang teratur seakan-akan mereka seperti suatu bangunan yang tersusun kokoh. * Dan (ingatlah) ketika Musa berkata kepada kaumnya: 'Hai kaumku, mengapa kamu menyakitiku, sedangkan kamu mengetahui bahwa sesungguhnya aku adalah urusan ALlah kepadamu?' Maka tatkala mereka berpaling (dari kebenaran), Allah memalingkan hati mereka; dan Allah tiada memberi petunjuk kepada kaum yang fasik. (Ash-Shaft: 1-5)
Ayat ke-2, sangat menampar kondisi bangsa kita saat ini. Dikala kita banyak berteriak reformasi tetapi perbuatan sehari-hari masih jauh dari apa yang kita teriakkan. Apa kita tidak sadar sudah begitu parah penyakit yang ada dalam hati kita? Memang urusan hati urusan masing-masing atau boleh dibilang urusan paling pribadi yang orang lain tidak mungkin bisa merubahnya. Cuman hasil dari kontemplasi dalam batin bakalan kelihatan lewat tindak tanduk kita, nah baru disinilah orang lain berperan untuk membetulkan apa yang salah dalam diri kita. Kita cenderung untuk menolak ajakan orang yang mengkritik diri kita ketimbang mengiyakan kritikan itu. Memang ada orang dengan tingkatan tertentu dalam kebersihan hatinya mampu meresapi apa-apa yang orang lain pikirkan. Ya, memang ada. Baru saja kita mampir ke rumahnya entah itu sowan, konsultasi keagamaan atau tukar pikiran .....dia sudah bisa menebak bakalan kemana alur pembicaraan....yang jelas orang tersebut bukanlah orang kebanyakan dari kita. Terus bagaimana tindakan yang harus kita ambil untuk menyikapi kondisi hati komponen bangsa yang sudah akut penyakitnya? Saya punya beberapa analisa sebelum kita masuk ke langkah-langkah teknis penanggulangan.
Pertama: Apa benar orang yang kita asumsikan mempunyai penyakit hati yang kronis 'merasa' bahwa dia sedang sakit? Pertanyaan ini harus kita jawab, caranya dengan melihat, membaca dan mendengar kepribadian dia. Untuk seorang pemimpin besar seperti Gus Dur tentu kita bisa mencari jawabannya. Penyakit ini sangat halus untuk dilihat secara kasat mata namun efeknya amat besar berimbas ke orang lain.
Kedua, sodorkan dengan pernyataan Allah di surat 61:2, seperti yang diatas. Hai orang-orang yang beriman, mengapa kamu mengatakan apa yang tidak kamu perbuat? Apa dia/kita sudah merasa beriman? Bagaimana kita tahu tanda-tanda keimanan kita? Seberapa besar iman kita kepada-Nya. Apa kita lupa apa yang selama ini kita cari, mau kemanakah hidup ini diarahkan, untuk siapa kita mau berkorban sedemikian rupa hingga merelakan jiwa dan harta kita?
