Alhamdulillah…akhirnya masa-masa penuh perjuangan selama 6 bulan terlewati sudah. Yups, libur telaaaaaaah tiba..libur telaaaaaaaah tibaaaaaa….

Hehe, tapi sebenarnya bukan ituh intinya..gini nih ceritanya nag-nag ADIPATi.. =)
Berhubung Ujian Kenaikan Kelas udah selesai diadain, nak-nak OSIS SMA 271 bikin acara seru nan meriah, yaituuuu Pentas seni. Eh, tapi pentas seninya ga asal-asalan gitu ajja. Jadi gini, aturannya, tiap kelas ngeluarin satu tim. Tiap tim harus ada dutanya, cowok ma cewek. Nah, uniknya, duta tersebut kudu / harus / wajib buka penampilan tim (alias pembukaannya) pake Bahasa Jawa en ada bagian Story Tellingnya yang nyeritain salah satu lagu (lagu wajibnya lagu daerah Jawa, yang satu lagi bebas) yang dijadiin tema (pastinya pake Bahasa Inggris dund), bagian penutupnya pun demikian, harus ditutup lagi pake Bahasa Jawa.

Ennn..
Anag-anag ADIPATi dapet undian nomer 14 (dari 16 nomer), so kami kedapetan hari kedua, yaitu hari Selasa tanggal 23 Juni 2009 kemaren. Kami pilih lagu Jawanya “Suwe Ora Jamu” en lagu bebasnya “Garuda di Dadaku” miliknya Netral (Ost. Garuda di Dadaku)
Bisa dibilang, persiapan anak-anak ADIPATi ga begitu lama. Kami berlatih dari hari Senin dan Selasanya uda tampil. Hehe, tapi ga begitu meragukan juga..soalnya anak laki-lakinya kebanyakan pada melek musik, so ga masalah deh ma musiknya. Ehhm..nah, bagian aksesorisnya, semua anak cewek ADIPATi wajib ikut andil so ga ada deh yang ketinggalan naik panggung pas tampil. Pokoknya ADIPATi paling HueeeebooooHHHH!!hehe..(satu kelas boo..38 nyawa…)

Hari Selasa kami tampil….. Naaaa..naaaa..naaaa… (s_s)/ ga bisa diungkapin deeehhh… pokoknya penuh perjuangan niiihh..penuh harap-harap. Asiknya, kami tampil dimotivasi juga oleh kehadiran wali kelas ADIPATi, mister Ahmad-hikz..coba dulu-dulu juga gini.. T.T

Tattttaaarraaarraatt..
Pengumuman tiba..SMS bergulir. Intinya..ADIPATi masuk ke babak final…waaaahhhh….Bravo!!!Wah, detik-detik penuh perjuangan lagi nih.. (^o^)/

Hari Rabunya, tanggal 24 Juni 2009 ADIPATi show lagi..hehe, tapi kali ini konsepnya lain, secara, uda final gituuuh..nah, kali ini ga cuma nari, nyanyiin musik aja..tapi ada sebuah drama yang diselingkan dalam lagu Suwe Ora Jamu juga ada puisi setelah akhir lagu Garuda di Dadaku..wuuuiiihh..berasa dehh..deg..deg…deg…

Ambisi sih ambisi, tapi yang terpenting dari jiwa anak-anak ADIPATi adalah memberikan yang terbaik dan selalu kompak. Yupppsss… (Chayyyyyooo!!!) Berharap dengan sabar deehhh…

Setelah nunggu kira-kira 45 menit, juri pun sudah siap mengumumkan kelas mana berhak naik ke panggung untuk dapet hadiah..hehe.eh, tapi… sebelum itu acaranya diselingi sama kehadiran Bu Anik (guru Biologi), nah lho! Eh, eh, ternyata beliau akan ngumumin juara Taman Hias dan Tanaman TOGA untuk kelas XI IPA (pelajaran Bioteknologi sebenernya)..daaann..tetererererettt…Bravo! Betapa mengejutkan ADIPATi dapet juara 2. waaaaaaaaahhh..senangnyaaaaaa..! (Cah..cah..gak rugi yo usaha kita ..hahhaaa..)

Nah, ini nih yang ditunggu..
Pak ….. (belum kenalan, hehe, guru baru, lum tau nama beliau..(T.T)v ) ngumumin juara pentas seni. Yaaap, juara pertama diraih oleh kelas X2..ploookk..ploookk….Juara kedua diraih oleh kelas XI IPA 3 ….ploooooookk..plooookkkk…horeeee…alhamdulillah…waaaaa…(pokoknya hueboh \(^o^)/ ) juara pertama diraih oleh kelas X6.

Hihi..walopun “cuma” dapet juara 2, tapiiiii bangga ddeeeehh..perjuangan looohhh…apalagi dapet dari dua kejuaraan..wahh..puji syukur. Semua hanya karena kuasa Allah..Besog-besog lagi dehhh…Amiin…Hehe…

You Can – David Archuleta

Take me where I’ve never been,

Help me on my feet again

Show me that good things come to those who wait

Tell me I’m not on my own

Tell me I won’t be along

Tell me what I’m feelin’ isn’t some mistake

‘cause if anyone van make me fall in love

You can

Save my from my self, you can

And it’s you and no one else

If I could wish upon tomorrow

Tonight would never end

If you asked me I would follow

But for now, I just pretend

‘cause if anyone can make me fall in love, you can

Baby when you at me

Tell me, what do you see?

Are these the eyes of someone you could love?

‘cause everything that brought me here,

well, now it all seems so clear

baby, you’re the one I’ve been dreamin’ of

if anyone can make me fall in love, you can

Save my from my self, you can

And it’s you and no one else

If I could wish upon tomorrow

Tonight would never end

If you asked me I would follow

But for now, I just pretend

‘cause if anyone can make me fall in love, you can

Only you can take me sailin’ in your deepest eyes

Bring me to my knees and make me cry

And no one’s ever done this

Everything was just a lie

And I know, yes, I know…

This is where it all begins

So tell me it’ll never end

I can’t fool my self

It’s you and no one else

If I could wish upon tomorrow

Tonight would never end

If you asked me I would follow

But for now, I just pretend

‘cause if anyone can make me fall in love, you can

show me that good things come to those who wait

Waiting for Yesterday – David Archuleta

Day-eh-ay

You and me, all alone girl

What’s going on, would you tell me what’s wrong

It’s like you’re locked up in your own world

Oh-oh with nothing to say

You keep me guessing but I see I your eyes

He made you promises but gave you lies

You’re shutting down cause you’re so sure

That I’ll be another mistake

[Chorus : ]

I know that he left you in pieces

You know that I won’t be that way

I’m not gonna treat you like he did

Oh-oh whatever it takes

You think history is repeating

You keep on pushing me away

Oh but nothing gonna change

Waiting for yesterday-eh-eh

Day-eh-eh, day-eh-eh

Is it worth it any longer?

You’re so scared to fall in again

Yesterday can make you stronger

So why do you feel alone?

You know I love you better than he ever did

This could be all you ever needed

Hold on to me and just remembered

Oh no, never let go

[Chorus : ]

Bridge :

I’m the on for you tonight

I’m the one you forever

If it takes a little time (Whatever it takes, whatever it takes)

I’m the on for you tonight

I’m the one for you forever

If it takes a little time (Whatever it takes, whatever it takes)

[Chorus 2x ]

Works for Me –David Archuleta

Yeah, yeah, mmmm

No I won’t make up my mind

I’m too good at wastin’ time

And I know that life is unpredictable

Just never know what I will find

Am I gonna stay, oh no

Am I gonna leave, I don’t think so

I guess I can define me as that kind a guy

Maybe it’s a big mistakes

But baby that’s the chance that I’ll take

[Chorus : }

You say I don’t know what I want

But it worked out just fine

You said it never could be done

But it worked out just fine, oh

You can say anything you want

But it worked out just fine

If it works for me

Then it works for me

If it works for me

Then it works for me

I can’t forget the things you said

Your words keep running through my head

And I know you’re just trying to help me out

Thanks, but I’ll follow my heart instead

Am I gonna stay, oh no

Am I gonna leave, I don’t think so

I guess I can define me as that kind a guy

Maybe it’s a big mistakes

But baby that’s the chance that I’ll take, oh yaeh..

[Chorus : }

You say I don’t know what I want

But it worked out just fine

You said it never could be done

But it worked out just fine, oh

You can say anything you want

But it worked out just fine

If it works for me

Then it works for me

If it works for me

Then it works for me

[Bridge : ]

There were days when a song could not be found

There were days when my voice would make no sound for me, for me

But I don’t worry about it where I’m goin’

‘cause I know just where I’m wanna be

And it’s time for you to see

You say I don’t know what I want

But it worked out just fine

You said it never could be done

But it worked out just fine, oh

You can say anything you want

But it worked out just fine

If it works for me

Then it works for me

If it works for me

Then it works for me

Save the Day – David Archuleta

Tied to the track and I hear you call

Your voice is shaking

The train is coming faster than you thought

And there’s no escaping it

And you think that you know

How the end of the story goes

That’s page I rewrote

And I’m taking away the ropes

There’s more hope than you’ll ever know

So keep breathing

I said that I’ll always be there

Now I mean it more than ever before

There’s future worth fighting for

So don’t be scared

I know how you must be feeling

No one to help you carry the pain

I’m coming to save the day

Hands of the clock

Are standing still

But your hearth is racing

You’re losing your grip on the windowsill

Pulled down by the weight of it

And you pray for relief

As you lie on the bathroom floor

As you wait

You can see

There’s a light underneath the door

This is the day you’ve been waiting for

So keep breathing

I said that I’ll always be there

Now I mean it more than ever before

There’s future worth fighting for

So don’t be scared

I know how you must be feeling

No one to help you carry the pain

We’re finally breaking

Into the daylight

Feel the warmth of the sun

I will stand by your side

Till your fear passes on

So just look in my eyes

Baby, try to hold on

And you’ll find

It won’t be long

So keep breathing

I said that I’ll always be there

Now I mean it more than ever before

There’s future worth fighting for

So don’t be scared

I know how you must be feeling

No one to help you carry the pain

I’m coming to save the day

‘coming to save the day

(there’s a future worth fighting for)

Don’t be scared

I know how you must be feeling

You know that it won’t be long

No one to help you carry the pain

It won’t be long

Tied to the track and I hear you call

Your voice is shaking

Let’s Talk about Love – David Archuleta

Mhhm-mhhm

Sometimes I wondered what I’d be when I grew up

And then I remembered it was anything I dreamed of

I could be a poet or a singer

I can be a scientist

But before I make that decision, lets talk about my list

Lets talk about love, lets talk about peace

And living in perfect harmony

Lets talk about hugs, and talk about ways that we can share

Lets talk about you, lets talk about me

Lets talk about how we can be one big family

Lets talk about love, lets talk about love

Sometimes I feel that I want to give my friends a call

To tell them what I’m dreaming and everything I want

I want us to be a little closer

And to always reach out a hand

To be kind to one another

And always understand

It’s all about love, it’s all about peace

And living in perfect harmony

It’s talk about hugs, and talk about ways that we can share

It’s talk about you, lets talk about me

It’s talk about how we can be one big family

It’s talk about love, lets talk about love

La la la la La la la la La la la la

Everybody has a heart, everybody has a smile

Lets wrap a bow around each one

And give it away once in a while

Crush – David Archuleta

I hung up the phone tonight

Something happened for the first time deep inside

It was a rush, what a rush

‘cause the possibility

That you would ever feel the same way about me

It’s just too much, just too much

Why do I keep running from the truth?

All I ever think about is you

You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized

And I’ve just got to know

Do you ever think when you’re all alone

All that we can be, where this thing can go?

Am I crazy or falling in love?

Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?

Are you holding back like the way I do?

‘cause I’m trying and trying to walk away

But I know this crush ain’t goin’ away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Goin’ away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Has it ever crossed your mind

When we’re hanging, spending time girl, are we just friends?

Is there more, is there more?

See it’s a chance we’ve gotta take

‘cause I believe that we can make this into something that will last

Last forever, forever

Do you ever think when you’re all alone

All that we can be, where this thing can go?

Am I crazy or falling in love?

Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?

Are you holding back like the way I do?

‘cause I’m trying and trying to walk away

But I know this crush ain’t goin’ away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Goin’ away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Why do I keep running from the truth?

All I ever think about is you

You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized

And I’ve just got to know

Do you ever think when you’re all alone

All that we can be, where this thing can go?

Am I crazy or falling in love?

Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?

Are you holding back like the way I do?

‘cause I’m trying and trying to walk away

But I know this crush ain’t goin’ away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

this crush ain’t goin’ away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Goin’ away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Goin’ away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Goin’ away-ay-ay-ay-ayy

Only Human – K (translation)

On the opposite coast of sadness is something called a smile

On the opposite coast of sadness is something called a smile

But before we can go there,

Is there something we’re waiting for?

In order to chase our dreams, we can’t have a reason to run away

We’ve got to go, to that far away summer’s day

If we find it tomorrow, we can’t sight

Because like a boat that opposes the stream

We have to walk straight on

In a place worn down by sadness something called a miracle, is waiting

Yet we are still searching for the sunflower that grows at the end of spring

The warrior who awaits the morning light before he can clasp it with red nails, his tears glitter and fall

Even if we’ve grown used to loneliness only relying on the light of the moon

We have to fly away with featherless wing just go forward, just a little further

As the rainclouds break the wet streets sparkling

Although it brings only darkness

A powerful, powerful light helps us to walk on

Only Human – K
