"Hallelujah"
that David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well it goes like this :
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
And she tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
(Yeah but) Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, (You know)
I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
and love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah...
Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Hallelujah...
[Instrumental]
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelu...
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah

When Goodbye = Happy/Sad
ur goin away
Still, we are and
we're sad too
We know this is for the good
a promise of tomorrow,
a better, probably more convenient life
still.... can't erase the mellow
the sentiments of a melancholic fellow
Well, goodbye then, my friend
n good luck too
remember, wherever you are
We're all here,
just for YOU

Good morning CikgU & alternates (hehe)
As I was passing my time due to the heavy traffic yesterday on the way
home, I'm so glad I brought my kamus saku with me to learn some words...
CMIIW, please as I'm just trying to recall this now (with Tagalog/Filipino
translations):
1. satu (isa)
2. dua (dalawa)
3. tiga (tatlo)
4. ampat (apat) ---> empat (official spelling); ampat is variation of
pronounciation
5. lima (lima) ---> bingo! exactly the same! :-p
6. anam (anim) ---> enam (official spelling); anam is variation of
pronounciation
7. tujuh (pito) ---> 7 in lower Javanese is called 'pitu'
8. delapan (walo) ---> 8 in lower Javanese is called 'wolu'
9. sembilan (siyam)
10. sepuluh (sampu)
berada - well to do ---> as in 'orang berada'; more common is 'kaya' as
'berada' also denotes 'whereabout' as in 'saya berada di sini' (I'm here)
aduh! - oh! ---> or 'ouch!'
aga - pride ---> never heard of 'aga' but pride can be 'kesombongan'
(negative meaning) or 'kebanggaan' (neutral/positive meaning)
abjad - alphabet ---> or 'alfabet' or 'aksara'
beradab - ??? courteous??? ---> cultured or civilized
batu nilam - sapphire (my gemstone!)
I also tried to compose some statements; Can anyone guess what I'm trying
to
say here??? (and, does any of it make sense?):
Saya sungu sungguh menghendika afal B.I. ---> I really want to study
(memorize) BI
Perhaps you should say 'saya betul2 mau belajar BI.' or 'saya sunguh2 mau
belajar BI.'
Engkau adalah baik-hati kawan. ---> You are very kind buddy ---> 'engkau'
is rather archaic though not uncommoncly used in poetic, story-telling &
formal occassion. More common is 'Anda' (formal) or 'kamu/kau' (less
formal/daily); Betawi (Jakarta) dialect for 'you' is 'elo' or 'elu'. You
should probably say something like this (if it's between friends use
kamu/kau; if it's to somebody you just met use 'Anda') ---> Kamu baik deh
pren. (informal) or Kamu baik sekali, kawan (friend).
Ada adalah agaknya salah adalaknya. ---> my mind reading ability gives up
on this one...I may be wrong?
Lastly, what does "Gorilla" mean in B.I., Russell wants to know... Looking
it up in the Dictionary, I came across "Siamang", is this the correct
meaning?
---> Gorilla is 'gorila' (natural habitat: Africa), 'siamang' (Eng: gibbon)
is a different species of big ape living only in parts of SE Asia & India
(including Indonesia)
Thanks!
Have a nice day!
:P
Siswa (male student), ---> 'siswi' (female student) or 'murid' (neutral)
Blue ---> biru
If I were the president of RI I granted you the honorary citizenship of the
Republic of Indonesia... :-p
-according to Stardust
from cikgU:
Instead of
ada adalah agaknya salah adalaknya --- should be ---
kadang kadang kamu mungkin (bisa jadi) salah
banyak + verb or 2x = plural
baloon = balon
baloons = banyak balon or balon balon
sometimes = kadang
probably
perhaps
maybe = mungkin or kali
berangkali
boleh jadi
bisa jadi
maybe someday = mungkin bila nanti
Thank you all!!!

The wrath of the red moon
(Tuesday of my being sick)
Sometimes we do things we regret. We say words we hoped we didn’t. And words, when already said (esp. harshly), cannot be taken back… ‘the harm has been done’… A pretty unusual day it was for me last August 28, 2007. Coming back from a ‘long economic holiday weekend’ (as per the RP government), I ought to be well-rested, calm and bubbly. Alas, it was the other way around. I have not skipped meals hence, I am carbo-loaded hence I should not be cranky at all. I have this friend who’s just kiss-hello’ing me and I just (w/o any apparent reason) flared, aaargghhh… Seconds later, I realized I was doing the same thing to others talking to me, I was ill-tempered and crabby almost the whole day. Little did I know that these moods are already hurting others. I don’t know if it was just me or the red moon’s wrath… hard to believe but it seems that the Lunar eclipse truly has its effect on me. The Lunar eclipse occurred that same day, around 5:22 to 7:22 p.m., Manila time. Well, I heard Virgo, Pisces and Gemini signs would either be too hot-headed, ferocious or too optimistic and happy. I guess I was part of the former, not the latter… Well, that’s what the Astrologers say. This is not to affirm and justify my actions. But just like the moon that night, I felt I was on my darkest hour yet I dunno WHY. If only I can turn back time but whatever I think, do, wish or say now doesn't matter as Anger is something that can’t be un-done.
