IF I WERE A BOY

If I were a boy, even just for a day
I’d roll out of bed in the morning and throw on what I wanted and go
Drink beer with the guys, and chase after girls
I’d kick it with who I wanted and I’d never get confronted for it
Cause they stick up for me

If I were a boy
I think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

If I were a boy, I would turn off my phone
Tell everyone it’s broken so they think that I was sleeping alone
I’d put myself first and make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’d be faithful, waiting for me to come home
To come home

If I were a boy
I think I could understand, oh-oh-oohh-oh
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

It’s a little too late for you to come back
Say it’s just a mistake, think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You got it wrong

But you’re just a boy
And you don’t understand (yea, you don’t understand, oh!)
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Because you’ve taken her for granted
And everything you had got destroyed

But you’re just a boy…

Berbagai media cetak dan elektronik membangkitkan kembali ingatan saya tentang naiknya harga BBM yang ikut menarik harga sembako dan lainnya. Saya sudah cukup dewasa untuk mengingat peristiwa yang kemudian berujung ke kerusuhan masal. Tepat 10 tahun lalu.

Saya membongkar kembali sebuah tabloid yang sudah 10 tahun lalu sengaja diarsipkan. Ketika itu saya membeli tabloid Aksi Vol. 2 No. 27 12-18 Mei 1998 untuk mendapatkan berita yang “berani” dan mengungkap fakta. Tabloid ini barangkali sudah almarhum sekarang. Terbit pertama kali tahun 1996, zaman di mana masih memakai SIUPP untuk menerbitkan koran.

Berapa sering anda mendengar “Saya tidak punya waktu” sebagai alasan maupun jawaban atas pertanyaan anda?

“Olahraga? Tidak, saya tidak punya waktu. Anak saya rewel dan butuh perhatian.” “Kursus komputer? Tidak, saya juga tidak punya waktu. Jadwal saya sudah demikian padat.” Sesibuk itukah anda sehingga menyempatkan 10 menit olahraga di depan televisi sambil mengawasi anak anda tidak sempat? Ataukah anda lebih sibuk dari seorang bisnisman yang masih sempat meluangkan sedikit waktu untuk menjamu rekan bisnisnya?

Can anyone describe what type of relationship between the monkey and the pigeon? The abandoned monkey who has found love with a pigeon story can be found at UK’s DailyMail.

Have you heard of someone whose bones are very fragile and breaks easily for no apparent cause? Even swatting flies or putting pressure when you sit will cause them to break? No, it’s not Osteoporosis and it’s not the lack of calcium. The disease is called “Osteogenesis Imperfecta” (Brittle Bone Disease), one of many incurable diseases.

Osteogenesis Imperfecta is a genetic bone disorder that affects the body’s ability to produce collagen (either little or poor quality). Collagen is major protein in bone which provides mass and strength to the bone. It also builds the connective tissue of the body (imagine framework of building). People who suffer this disease have only little mobility, since sudden movement or pressure will break particular part of their bones.
