allahu akbar allahu akbar..
allahumma laka shumtu, wabika amantu, wa ala rizkika afthortu, birahmatika yaa arhamarrahimiin..
di halte kulihat dirimu di halte kembali kulihat dirimu
masih menunggu
masih mainkan lagu itu
aku pun terharu
di halte selalu kulihat dirimu
selalu menunggu
mainkan lagi lagu itu
aku pun bertanya padamu
tanyaku "siapakah dia yang setiap hari kau tunggu?"
jawabmu "aku menunggu bus yang membawaku ke tempat-mu"
tanyaku "bolehkah aku menjemput-mu?"
tanyamu "bisakah aku mempercayai-mu?"
jawabku "sang waktu akan menjawab, namun cintaku tak meminta banyak, dan tak mengenal kata kadaluarsa"
belom pernah denger kan kalo gw sering banget mimpi buruk. dan yang bikin gw bangun dengan nafas terengah engah, jantung berdegup kencang sekali, plus gemetar luar biasa, adalah mimpi ini selalu menceritakan kejadian yang sama, namun lokasinya selalu berbeda beda. entah udah berapa kali gw alami mimpi kaya gini. pernah nonton supernatural? itu lho.. tv series yang ceritanya tentang 2 orang kakak beradik yang mencari jejak ayahnya, namun di tengah perjalanan mereka selalu berhadapan dengan kejadian kejadian ghaib. seperti misalnya mitos "the woman in white" di tengah jalan yang selalu nebeng sama orang lewat, udah itu disuruh nganterin pulang tapi malah disasarin ke kuburan. lalu mitos "bloody mary" yang bener2 akan keluar dan bisa ngebunuh orang yang nyebut namanya 3 kali di depan cermin kamar mandi.
august, 2005. i woke up in a room. it's a rather bit small room, probably a hotel room.. oh yeah.. i forgot. i was on a journey. a journey looking for a new town. where i can find comfort. where i can find the place i belong. the fireplace was burning, but strange.. there's no sound of crackling fire. i can't help the urge to smoke a bit. but i can't find my cigarettes. i walked out of the hotel room to buy some. there's a gas station in front of the hotel, and there's a a mini store nearby. so i think i'll fill up my car as well. as i pay my cigs to the storekeeper, a big red bus came out of nowhere and parked in the hotel. they surely have many people in it, seeing from the size of the bus. so i walked to see the bus and the people in it. but strange. the bus was empty. the driver got out of the bus. he was wearing a uniform. he didnt lay his eyes on me. it creeps me out that i decided to smoke my cigs. and then suddenly. the earth was shaking. there's a crack beneath the bus, and it's getting bigger as i tried to understand what the hell is going on. the crack's getting bigger. i backed off a bit trying to see it from a wider view, and trying not to get stuck in the hole made up by the crack. but then i ran to the gas station. i ran, cos that's what you do when suddenly the crack's grow bigger and kept aftering you wherever you go. as i reached a safe spot at the gas station, i'm thinking of saving my car first. but then a loud cracking and thundering noise waved through the air that morning. the hotel breaks. swallowed by the crack. fallen into the hole. the bus was aslo swallowed. then after a while, the crack stops. i was numb for a moment. but then the police and firefighters came up and surrounded the area. i guess this is a good time to leave. cos i wont have any time to be interrogated by the authorities. never wanna mess with them. so i started my car engine and get going.
dan gw terbangun saat itu juga.december, 2005. i woke up in yet another hotel room. i guess this time it was an evening. the sky was already dark. and i ran out of drinks. oh yeah.. i used up my "Aqua" to fill the car's radiator, and add some water to the windshield-wiper-fluid reservoir. the air conditioner was not working. damn, it was burning hot that i decided to go out to find some fresh air, and some fresh water. so i walked a bit around the block. i didn't bring my car this time. the streets of bukit sentul were actually beautiful at night. i reached a viewing point. i stopped for a moment and enjoy the scenery. the lights were pretty. the wind blows gently. well.. it was a bit cold. but luckily i brought my jacket with me. i closed my eyes for a second.. it was peaceful.. i can even feel the ground shaking.. wait. the ground was shaking? i opened my eyes and quickly move away from that place. i knew it. it's happening again. i try to get back to my hotel as soon as possible. all i can think of was my car. i need to secure my car. i can't go anywhere without it. i ran back as quickly as i could. the shake feels greater everytime i stomp my feet to the ground, and pushed myself forward. after a few distances, i saw it. i saw the very same red bus like the one from my past dream. it was parked on a parking lot. i shouted at the bus, "wait !!!" but this time it was too late. the ground breaks apart. it was the same like i experienced in my past dream. the hotel breaks apart, shattered down, and the bus also fall down the big hole. but this time, i haven't got a chance to see the driver. or whoever it is..
this morning. september, 2006. this time i don't know why. i woke up, in my room. yeah, my very own room. feels like i'm in the real world. this is the same room where i slept last night. i can still smell my wet shirts from last night. the nasty smell of my socks. eyuck.. the air conditioner, which is cooler than the refrigerator. what bothers my mind was "why did i have to woke up here"? why not in another hotel room? why it has to be my home this time? is IT going to happen here? i can barely feel something wrong is going to happen. that day, every second feels like another minute, and every minute feels like another hour. the day felt longer than 24 hours. i watched the surroundings closely, and hope that that damned bus didn't park in front of my home. i hope nothing happens to my home. cos if anything happens.. *knock on wood* but if the bus DID park in front of my home, i'll have the chance to meet the driver and confront him, finally. i can stop this whole thing from happening at my home. well.. especially, stop this whole thing from happening again. i thought i had found the pattern already. i went upstairs. i can watch the surroundings better from here. i reached my pocket. hey.. i still have some cigs from last night too. ah damn. i left my lighter at the desk in my room. so i go back down for my lighter. but something came up. i threw my cig away. it was the bus. i saw the bus passed by my home. the very same red bus with no marking whatsoever. the color was flashing red like it's sent from hell. and as it passed my home, the cloud suddenly turned dark. the air felt like it was polluted. i knew it. this shit is going to happen again. as i told you before, i thought i had found the pattern. i thought the bus was going to park in front of my home. but i was wrong. the ground start to lose integrity. it moved. it's shaking. oh god. no. not now. not this time. not here. please. please don't happen here. i can't stop it. i can't do anything. i thought if could confront the bus driver, i could stop this from happening. damn it. i can't see either the bus or the driver. it's funny how i actually hoped to see any of them, while the ground was shaking beneath me. i ran away from my home. as quickly as i can. i can still feel my heart shouted "NOOOOOO...!!!" but it was no use. the ground swallowed my home. it breaks apart. it's gone. i left my home with a shattered heart. and kept telling myself. why? why did i even brought my home into this. why didn't i tried to chase the bus? why didn't i tried harder to stop this thing from happening? so my home is finally gone. i walked back to see what's left of it. damn. nothing's left. wait. what was it down there. what the hell? that freakin' bus was there! it was buried beneath my house, all along. what is going on here? is this something i dont understand? is there something i miscalculated? huh? wait. while i was busy with my brain, thinking those things, i heard footsteps among my ruined house. it's closing in on me. where does it came from? i looked everywhere but still can't find where did the sound came from. moments later, the footsteps suddenly stopped. i looked behind my shoulder. and there he was. standing on his burning feet. staring at me with his cold eyes, and a big grin. it was the driver. i did had the chance to saw him this time. but i can't do anything. i'm numb. shaking like hell. i finally confront the missing piece of the puzzle. but i can't move. i can't do anything. why? why? i can't help it. i passed out.
all..
along..gw hanya berharap bisa selalu terbangun.

bondanrastika@24/9/06 - 862
Open up and let me in, I am getting cold
I’ve been trying to prove you wrong
But now it’s getting old
I’ve made some blunders, I’ve made a few
I’m full of regrets
There’s no excuse for what I’ve done
There’s no excuse for what I’ve done
There’s no excuse for what went wrong
Can you forget about it and move on
Open up and let me in, I’m begging you
I know I’ve done some big mistakes
But don’t shove me out
I cannot turn back time and even if I could
There’s no excuse for what I’ve done
There’s no excuse for what I’ve done
There’s no excuse for what went wrong
Can you forget about it and move on
Can you forget about it and move on
I know it cuts like a knife
The pain that I’ve done to you
There is no telling of what’s to come
But I wanna see it through
If I could take it away, you know I would
There’s no excuse for what I’ve done
There’s no excuse for what I’ve done
There’s no excuse for what went wrong
Can you forget about it and move on
Can you forget about it and stay strong
Stay strong
Can you forget about it
And move on
[Bondan, Sabtu 23 September 2006, 05:53 AM, trying to let go and move on..]
i asked my room.is this the right place for me?
is this the place where i belong?
my room whispered quietly.i'm sorry. no. my floor is no longer clean. the smell is awful
so i left.
i asked my living room.
is this the right place for me?
is this the place where i belong?
my living room replied softly.i'm sorry. no. the tv is broken and you can't watch it anymore.
so i left.
i asked my house.
is this the right place for me?
is this the place where i belong?
my house answered gently.i'm sorry. no. my roof can no longer protect you from rain and heat.
so i left.
i asked the park.
is this the right place for me?
is this the place where i belong?
the park shouted loudly.no! you don't belong here! somebody gets here before you, so go away!
i cried.
then i left.
it's getting dark.
i need to find a place for me to rest.
but then a thought flashes before my mind.
then i ask my heart.
is this the right place for me?
is this the place where i belong?
half my heart casts a warm smile.
he said.wherever you go, this is your home.
and then the other half of my heart hugs me comfortly.
she said.
...
i'm all right and i'm staying here with you.
so i stay.

sebuah permen yang terbungkus rapi. ia tak pernah tahu kapan kita akan mengambilnya. kubuka bungkusnya. kumasukkan ke dalam mulut. manis..
perasaan ini seperti pernah kurasakan sebelumnya.
kebahagiaan saat menghisap permen.
ingin terus kurasakan.
permen itu menangis.
menangis karena terkikis.
dilumat lidah.
diguyur air liur.
namun tetap dapat memberiku kebahagiaan yang kurasakan.
makin kuhisap.
makin terkikis.
namun tetap terasa manis.
makin menipis.
hingga lama kelamaan habis.
di akhir adanya.
permen itu masih terasa manis.
masih memberiku kebahagiaan yang sama.
perasaan bahagia ini bukan sesaat.
tapi akan tetap ada sampai nanti aku menghisap permen lagi.
bukan permen itu.
karena permen itu sudah habis.
tapi permen yang lainnya.
karena aku masih bisa membeli sebungkus setiap harinya.
aku ingin merasakan kebahagiaan ini seperti saat aku menghisap permen untuk pertama kalinya.
adakah cinta seperti permen?
yang tak perduli akan sakit yang dirasakannya.
walaupun akhirnya akan hilang.
tetapi ia selalu ingin membuat orang yang disayanginya tersenyum.
sampai nanti ia melihat orang yang disayanginya lagi.
sampai nanti orang yang disayanginya merasakan kembali kebahagiaan saat bersamanya.

[midnight @ studio]
sampe jam berapa lo tahan begadang? gila. akhir akhir ini gw ngga seperti biasanya. kmaren aja gw masih bisa bangun dengan meleknya sampe jam 3 atau jam 4 pagi. huh. kayaknya daya tahan tubuh gw mulai melemah nih. aaargh.. damn. pengen meng-akhiri ke-single-an gw, tapi rasanya kok blm ada yang "nonjok di muka gw banget" gitu. now this is what i call "being single and busy".. not "being single and happy". well, i am happy, but not that happy.
[wed @ citos]
ladies day. gw sempetin sama temen temen gw sekedar jalan jalan cari pemandangan, kebetulan emang banyak cewe cewe cakep berseliweran kesana kemari di citos. lha ya emang judulnya ladies day. tapi gw curiga, yang dateng itu sebenernya cewe cewe yang emang lagi pengen belanja dan jalan jalan, atau malah isinya cowo cowo yang ngarep bisa kenalan atau paling ngga liat cewe cewe cakep yang lagi jalan jalan sih? ah sutralah. kemaren kenyang juga kok gw liat liat pemandangan hwahahaha.. sayang aja cewe cewe itu ngga liat gw.
[brb ganti lagu di iTunes, sama bakar rokok]
ada seseorang pernah bilang ke gw. nikotin itu pembunuh stress yang bagus. hahaha.. emang sih, gw ngerasa stress gw lumayan berkurang, tapi capeknya masih tetep aja. huh. cari pacar ah.. pada kemana sih cewe cewe cakep?
[anjrit ini di tipi kok pilemnya jadul gini.. sed dah..]
[Bondan, Jumat 15 September 2006, 01:41 AM, capek. tidur ah.]
akhirnya. semua menjadi gelap. tak terlihat. tak terasa. hari hariku dingin. sepi. aku cuma bisa diam dan menunggu. menunggu jalan di depan mataku tebuka lagi. entah kapan aku bisa berjalan lagi. bisa menemukan pintu keluar dari gelap yang menelan semua yang ada di depan dan belakangku. aku menunggu. entah berapa lama aku harus menunggu. menunggu sapaan hangat menyambut suaraku. menunggu sentuhan ramah meraih tanganku. dan menuntunku ke jalan yang baru.
adakah engkau disitu?
...
tunggu.
sekelebat cahaya menyerang mataku.
sekabut awan menusuk dinginku.
suara suara iblis merasuk telingaku.
tangan tangan setan menarik narik tubuhku.
aku terjatuh. dan pingsan.
...
entah berapa lama aku tak sadarkan diri.
hingga akhirnya terbangun dari mati.
kemana gelap itu?
yang sejak lama menelanku.
yang ada hanyalah ada.
matahari menyambutku dengan sinar hangat.
angin membelaiku dengan hembusan sejuk.
siapa disana?
aku memicingkan mata.
mencoba melihat seseorang yang ada di ujung sana.
berjalan menuju arah tempatku berada.
adakah engkau disitu?
bukan.
bukan engkau, tapi dia.
dia.
[Bondan, Sabtu 2 September 2006, 12:43 PM, mencoba bangun lagi.]
[03:55:06]
selesai akhirnya melakukan apa yang sejak beberapa hari ini ingin kulakukan.. rasanya lepas semua beban. tapi juga aku masih belum tau mau kemana setelah ini.. tujuan yang sudah sejak dua tahun lalu kukejar, akhirnya harus disudahi juga. jalan yang tadinya masih terlihat, lama kelamaan berangsur kabur, digantikan dengan balok balok kayu yang makin lama pun menghilang. apa yang kulihat sekarang cuma jalan tanah kosong, ngga ada hiasan apa apa. ini pun lama kelamaan terlihat kabur, pandanganku menyempit, dan tiba tiba semua yang ada di depanku berubah menjadi hitam, gelap. hilang. hampa. tak bernyawa.
antara senang dan sedih.
antara keinginan dan kenyataan.
antara percaya dan curiga.
antara ada.
dan tiada.
antara..
hari ini semuanya berakhir. jalan yang biasa kutapak akhirnya sampai ke ujungnya. selesai begitu aja.di ujung batas itu ngga terlihat apa apa. yang ada cuma gelap. dan plang "sampai disini". sementara itu, aku juga ngga bisa melihat kebelakang. apa yang sudah kulalui pun harus kubuang jauh jauh. dan aku ngga bisa berjalan kebelakang. kalaupun aku bisa memutar waktu, ngga akan membantu banyak.
gelap itu makin mengejar ke tempat aku berdiri sekarang. aku ngga bisa berjalan maju, apalagi mundur. di kiri dan kananku hanya ada jurang. sementara gelap itu makin mengejar.
makin dekat...
makin dekat..
makin dekat.
gelap.
.
akhirnya. semua menjadi gelap. tak terlihat. tak terasa. hari hariku dingin. sepi. aku cuma bisa diam dan menunggu. menunggu jalan di depan mataku tebuka lagi. entah kapan aku bisa berjalan lagi. bisa menemukan pintu keluar dari gelap yang menelan semua yang ada di depan dan belakangku. aku menunggu. entah berapa lama aku harus menunggu. menunggu sapaan hangat menyambut suaraku. menunggu sentuhan ramah meraih tanganku. dan menuntunku ke jalan yang baru.
adakah engkau disitu?

ever tried editing with mac? 1 word. exciting.
pertama kali gw actually menyentuh mesin berlogo apel kegigit ini, impression gw cuma 1. keren. one state-of-the-art production machine with a badass mofo editing tools. the package comes with Final Cut Studio, an integrated software lineup consisting of : Final Cut Pro, Motion , Soundtrack Pro, Compressor, and DVD Studio Pro. [click link for images]
Final Cut Pro itu tools untuk non-linear video editing, lengkap dengan transition dan effects library yang ngga bakal abis lo cobain satu2 semaleman. supports multiple video layers as well as audio layers. sering pake Adobe Premiere? nah, Final Cut Pro itu Premiere, tapi apple made.
Motion itu tools buat animation editing, effects library nya ngga kalah banyak sama Final Cut Pro, ditambah koleksi font, filter, dan image particles. think of Adobe's After Effect, tapi bikinan Macintosh.
Soundtrack Pro, jelas dari namanya, tools buat sound editing. bayangin aja, lo bisa ngilangin noise dan glitch di audio file cuma dengan sekali klik! dan masih banyak lagi sample sound effect sama ambience. and i mean great quality.
Compressor, the ultimate delivery tool. export video/audio footage yang udah diedit, ke format apa aja, you name it, Compressor has it. .mov, .avi, .mpeg, .m1v, .m2v, you name it. bahkan bisa langsung export video untuk ukuran iPod!
DVD Studio Pro, tool pamungkas di package Final Cut Studio. create High Definition DVD or Standard Definition DVD, lengkap dengan pilihan template menu dari softwarenya sendiri, subtitling tool yg gampang dipelajari, create DVD menu yang bisa diprogram, multiple subtitle, multiple audio, multiple angle.
Inget pas awal tadi gw bilang integrated? kenapa? karena lo bisa switch cross-app dengan sekali klik. workflownya kira2 kaya gini. OK, pertama2 lo capture video footage pake Final Cut Pro. log clips yang mau dicapture lalu terusin pake batch capture, Final Cut Pro secara otomatis me-rewind tape yang mau lo capture, sampe ke timecode yang udah di log sebelumnya, lalu mulai capture. everything is done automatically, the apple way. lalu selesai capture, lo edit. diantara footage2 itu ada beberapa footage yang mau lo tambahin animasi, switch ke Motion. edit animasi udah kelar, tinggal save project file di Motion, switch back ke Final Cut Pro, file yang lo edit di Motion barusan udah langsung ter-update secara otomatis. audio ngga beres? mau tambahin ambience atau soundtrack? bawa ke Soundtrack Pro. selesai semuanya, switch back lagi ke Final Cut Pro. then again, file yang lo edit langsung ter-update. beres di Final Cut Pro, export movie file pake Compressor, add movie to batch, setting output format, lalu klik submit, bisa ditinggal deh. DVD Studio Pro works in the same way, add movie files to the timeline, divide into chapters, add menus, add subtitles, all you have to do is click on the "Burn" button, insert a DVD-R media, and your masterpiece is done!
i myself prefer to call this package "the ultimate high definition production tool". and i mean ultimate. imagine what can you do with Final Cut Studio, running on the new Mac Pro. damn. definitely want one of those.
for more details and eye-shocking video showcase of the package,

caution : mupeng tanggung sendiri.
