erm.. sbnrna kjadianna ud lm c~ tp br smpt sya uplod k blog..

jd, suatu hari, stlh sls bina pianis organis d greja, guru sya manggil, ngajak ngbrl bntar.
Ya mumpung gw blm djmpt jg, gw dgrin lah crita guru gw.

Jd, guru gw itu tanya, ap gw knal c A *gw tak brniat mnyebut nm*.. pas gw blg knal, guru gw blg, “Saya agak bingung nih.”
Kontan gw tanya, dong, “Bingung knp, pak?”
Dan critalah dy. C A ini dulu bljr piano d Yamaha music school.. dan krn emg yamaha itu hearingnya sangat luar biasa bagus, c A ini mngalami kesulitan klo hrs hearing d nada dasar brbeda. For example, do=F. kan berarti 1=fa. bwt c A itu, ga bs ky gt, pokokna bunyinya ya ‘fa’, bukan ‘do’. smuanya krn hearing yg melekat kuat.

Trus gw negur guru gw dan blg, “Pak, saya juga dulu d YMS, lho.”
Tw ap jwban guru gw? Dy blg gini, “Tapi kan kamu udah smpt bljr transpose” musik waktu ikut padus si rizal. makanya kamu gak terganggu meski hearing kamu kuat sekali.”

Btul, hearing gw emg sangat kuat. Bukti: pas ujian akhir padus, gw dpt perfect score. Tp knp gw ga trganggu tiap kali msti dengerin kord BERAPA, yg dpake untuk lagu dengan nada dasar bukan C?

Jawabannya: Padus.

Tman, jujur, awalnya gw agak sbel krn mulai pmbinaan telat. Tmn” gw ud ikut d angkatan ptama, pas gw kls 1 smp. dulu jg gw smpt ikut, tp brnti gr” padus latian sbtu jg. Ptamanya, gw sangat sangat keki, males. Tp, pas guru gw blg ky gt, “Kamu ketolong krn prnah padus,” sadarlah gw.

Andai. Andai. Andai gw ga ikut padus, andai wkt itu gw ttp lanjut dgn bina pianis organis gw, bukan mustahil klo gw jg jd ky c A itu. gw ga akan bs trima kord F dibilang kord 1 saat nada dasar do=f. gw akan trtinggal, dan ga bs ky skrg, di mana gw trgolong cpat mnangkap d pmbinaan. Bukan semata-mata krn feeling gw jalan bwt cari kord. Tp krn gw dbantu hearing, dan gw PAHAM, mski nada dasar di ubah.

Stlh gw ngbrl ma guru gw itu, gw trpekur. ‘Iya, ya. Klo ga pnah padus, mungkin gw jg ga bkal bs.’ Dan gw pun trsenyum dlm hati, “Thx God, krn udah nunda keikut sertaan saya dlm pmbinaan.”

Jadi, tmans, klo klian ad yg pnah ngerasa, “Kenapa sih hrs bgini?”, inget: God always held the best path for you. Each step that you take, is under his watch.

Note: ini pernah saya post di blog pribadi saya. udah lama sih. tp pgn share aja di sini.. hehe

Refleksi. Reflection. Riflessione
Resolusi. Resolution. Risolutezza

When a year’s coming to its end, we make reflections: How have we done this year? Did we achieve our purpose? Have we got what we want?
Meanwhile, in a year’s beginning, we create a new resolution: What do I want to do this year? What do I want to achieve?

I managed to fulfill some of my 2009’s resolution. not all, but some indeed. For example, I did manage to graduate from high school with quite good scores. But I didn’t manage to get rid of caffeine dependence. In fact, it gets worse. lol

So, for 2010’s resolution.. hmm..

• do more photography exercise.. practices make perfect!
• lbi fokus dlm ngikutin suatu kegiatan.. klo ngikutin trlalu banyak kegiatan ntr malah ga keurus.. xD
• Be less pecicilan! HAHA.. mungkin ga yaaaa
• meraih nilai tinggiiiiiii

4 dulu deh yg gpg.. xD perhaps akan bertambah.. xD

I’ve just realized that I haven’t

Saya memiliki sebuah buku kecil berisikan quotes” yang menurut saya menarik, entah quote itu berasal dari orang” terkenal, orang” di sekitar saya, atau bahkan saya sendiri.  Literally, I bring this book almost everywhere. So, obviously, affirmative statement(s) that are used to raise my self-esteem are mostly written in my little brown book.

If you can dream it, you can do it; All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue it. – Walt Disney

Life is about looking forward; do learn from your past, but do not dwell in it. – Me

NAH! yg ini susah nih.. 20 good qualities in me.. astagaaaa..

1. I’m a fast learner when it comes to learning foreign languages.
2. I’m good in copying a language’s accent. LOL
3. Sekali bisa, saya bisa menghapal piece musik selama mungkin. Emang sih kalo udah lama ga maen jd msti belajar ulang, tp overall, saya pasti hafal lagu itu.
4. Saya bisa ngapalin lagu cukup dengan mndengar.
5. Sometimes, I even could play the piece just because of frequent listening.
6. I’m incredibly nearing exact when it comes to note guessing. Nilai hearing saya waktu ujian musik selalu 95 ke atas. waktu ujian akhir SMP, I got 100.
7. I’m a rather stubborn person when it comes to mempertahankan pendapat. HAHA
8. Saya memang anak tunggal, tapi saya nggak ragu naek angkot ato kendaraan umum kalo emang perlu.
9. I am a good listener.
10. I’m a fast reader.
11. I’m full of inspiration =p Saya punya banyak sekali ide” yang tertimbun dan menggunung di benak saya. lol
12. People often saw me as a ‘calm and collected’ person at the first sight. lalala~
13. I know how to control my emotion when needed, karena pekerjaan saya menghadapkan saya dengan anak” antara usia 4-7 tahun. hehe
14. I appreciate nature so much. Itulah alesan kenapa saya lebih suka motret trees, flowers, and animals ketimbang motret model. haha
15. Saya kritis kalo udah menyangkut tentang children stories. Up until now, I am still in love with Disney, jadi saya selalu spare 5-10 minutes to do story telling ke murid” saya during lesson.
16. Saya orang yang cukup peka *kadang”.. hehe*
17. Saya nggak ragu minta maaf kalo saya emang salah.
18. Saya juga nggak bakal nyangkal kalo saya punya banyak sekali kejelekan =D
19. Saya bisa menjadikan orang yang lebih hebat dari saya dalam suatu bidang sebagai motivator, bahkan kalau saya nggak suka sm org itu. HAHA
20. Once I fall in love for something, I’ll never stop loving it. I’ve been in a choir for years, and I have no intention to stop doing so. Saya juga ngoleksi benda” domba dan saya nggak bakal pernah brenti or bosen ngoleksi! hehe..

astaga. bisa juga ya 20.. *walo ngalor ngidul*.. haha.. well, that’s it, fellas!
Feel free to drop some comments. No spamming please!

A random title. yes. Well, not so random actually..

Posting ini sebagai.. mm.. apa ya? Semacam laporan gitu deh. haha. Laporan singkat tentang perjuangan demi tugas CB..  hahahahaha

‘Practice makes perfect,’ people said.. That’s very true indeed. Dalam segala sesuatu, and I mean everything, latihan itu penting sekali buat meningkatkan kemampuan.. Mungkin not really perfect, ‘coz really, nobody is perfect; nothing is perfect, tp at least, improve laa..

Soooo, dalam tugas CB ini, kan disuruh untuk mengembangkan bakat yg ingin dikembangkan, trus minta orang yg kompeten dlm bidang itu untuk berkomentar.. So of course, I chose photography.

So, as soon as after I heard about the assignment, cepet-cepet deh, ngajakin temen” hunting. Tempat dan waktu ditentukan belakangan. haha. A week before the deadline, we agreed to take some night-shot at Thamrin…. (and so, the plan was made).

Akhirnya, ditetapkanlah harinya : hari Sabtu, 3 Oct.. On the day,  I was.. a bit.. nervous. Just a bit, because Saturday is always the most hectic day in the week (for me it is). We planned, pk 17.30 or at the latest 6 p.m, kita uda start photo session.  Tapi apa yg trjadi? jengjengggg

Krn kondisi kesehatan yg kurang baik, pembimbing fotografi saya telat berangkatt.. haha.. akhirnya sekitar jam 5an sore gitu kita baru berangkat dar Aries.. We have to picked the others up.. Tapi namanya Jakarta, pas lagi mau jemput satu orang di TVM, macet. M.A.C.E.T. banget. Ok. satu jam trbuang di macet. udah gitu, HUJAN DERAS.. jadi, kami pun menyiapkan plan B: no outdoor. indoor aja di Grand Indonesia. Terus setelah jemput orang di Kedoya, harus jemput 1 lagi temen di Tanjung Duren. And guess what? ujan setengah jam cukup buat bikin tanjung duren BANJIR selutut. Nice banget. Untung berhasil lewat dan nyampe di GI dengan selamat, not to mention that the rain had stopped too.

Tapi, nyampe di GI it udah malem.. jam 8an gitu.. padahal kan rencana jam setengah 6.. haha.. mundur jauh bangeetttt..

Jadi, sekitar jam setengah 9 or 9 o’clock gitu kita keluar ke jln,dan mulai berburu foto. We took pictures from various spots: di pinggir jalan, DI JALUR BUSWAY, di bunderan HI, dan dari jembatan halte HI.. Paling seru sih waktu di jalur busway.. Dikit” kita mesti liat, ada trans-jakarta near-by ato engga.. kalo ada, kita pindah ke jalan raya.. hahaha.. my best friend said, “It’s kinda life-risking, y’know.” tapi itu lah.. haha.. soooo happy! x)

Sepanjang perjalanan, sebelum mulai photo session, pokokna kpikiran trs deh.. ‘tugas tugas tugas tugas demi tugas tugas tugas’, but, right when I started to press the shutter button, there’s no such thing in my mind. I enjoyed the activity too much that I didn’t even think about the assignment anymore. lol.

The time passed so soon when you’re enjoying something. So true. Tau” udah jam sebelas. HAHA. jadi kita pulang deh. Di mobil super tepar, tapi semua seneng, ‘coz it was our very first time taking a night-shot.. (kecuali ‘pembina’ kita yaaa). Couldn’t wait for the next hunting. lol.

di jalur busway. haha

The party! @bundaran HI

my best shot that night. lol

Komentar:

1. Ivan (alumni BINUS, pernah belajar di Darwis Triadi school of photography) : untuk Cintya, saya liat ada bakat. Kalau menurut saya, SEMUA orang pasti bisa memotret. Akan tetapi semuanya itu perlu proses pembelajaran. Saya lihat kamu ada bakat karena beberapa foto kamu sudah bagus, cuma saya liat kamu masih belum fokus dalam melihat obyek.. Penggunaan warna perlu diasah lagi. Penggunaan ruang perlu diperhatikan dalam sbuah karya..
2. Christopher (mahasiswa akuntansi UNTAR, anggota Perkumpulan Fotografer Tarumanagara) : kmampuan udah cukup baik, tapi msi prlu banyak brlatih lagi dlm memilih angle, n mnajamkan komposisinya biar bisa menghasilkan foto yang indah dan menawan hati yang melihatnya. Hunting bareng lagi yuk!
3. Jonathan (mahasiswa DKV UNTAR, anggota PFT): kemampuan sih pasti meningkat dong. Tapi tingkatin terus ya. Latian terus!

Hello to whoever that is reading this page: welcome to my blog! =D

I’m Maria Melissa Acintya, but please do call me Cintya.. I was born in Surabaya 18 year ago.. I was born under the influence of Aries constellation.. and I’m an only child.

I like to do a lot of things.. I love to read, mostly novels, or short stories.. I don’t have any certain favorite genre.. I could be reading a Road Dahl, or Kate diCamillo, or Astrid Lingern novel in a day, and on the other day, you’ll see me reading  Elizabeth Kostova’s ‘The Historian’ or Bram Stoker’s ‘Dracula’.. *lol*. I’ll read whatever stories that perked my interest up.. I’m reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen for now..
Yes, I do enjoy reading English novels.. but that doesn’t mean I don’t like Indonesian novels.. I do, if the story is interesting enough..

Beside reading, I also like music. Not only listening to it but also being a part of it. I love singing (especially in a choir), and I enjoy playing the piano (even though I’m not good at it yet. lol).. I love classical music. But I also don’t mind listening to jazz, pop, rock, or any kind of music, as long as it’s enjoyable..

I love writing too! lol. And I have to admit, writing in English is much more enjoyable.. because sometimes, some terms in English describe things better.. I still love Bahasa Indonesia, no need to worry about that..

Apa lagi yaaa? Hmm.. I’m a random person.. I love turqoise and gray.. blah blah blah..

Why I joined English Literature & Culture department? Tha’s because I love learning foreign language.. And English, being the first international language, helps a lot in learning foreign languages.. For example, I’m learning Italian from a friend in Italy, and (obviously) we used English in the learning process..

I love making quotes then write them down in my notes.. lol

“Each life is colorful, even if it’s only black & white.. Because black &white are colors too.” – (was said on a conversation between my best friend and I, then he said, “It’s a very nice quote!”)
