Rencana Tuhan....

Siang ini makan siang di meja kantor, sambil mengerjakan tugas, tangannya gantian, sesekali menyuap sesekali ngetik, dan sudah pasti keyboardnya jadi mengkilat karena licin minyak.  :D

Sambil mendengarkan lagu-lagu 80an *selera jadul :D* dari mulai Tante Anne Murray, Mbak Carole King sampai mbak2 dan mas2 bule lainnya, makan siang dengan lauk pauk akhir bulan terasa nikmaaatt banget  :) 

Pas sampai dilagu I've never been to me nya Mbak Charlene pas lirik "Hey Lady, you Lady, cursing at your life" tiba2 maktratab (can't find the synonym in bahasa :D) berasa ditegur sama mbaknya. 

Ibunya Prairie contekin deh liriknya ya Charlene - I've Never Been To Me Lyrics | MetroLyrics

Hey lady, you, lady, cursin' at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you never do
But I wish someone had a talk to me like I wanna talk to you
Ooh I've been to Georgia and California, and, anywhere I could run
Took the hand of a preacherman and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free

I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

Please lady, please, lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived a million lies
Oh I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
Where I sipped champagne on a yacht
I moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things
That a woman ain't s'posed to see

I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

Hey, you know what paradise is? It's a lie
A fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, and it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight. That's truth, that's love

Sometimes I've been to cryin' for unborn children
That might have made me complete
But I, I took the sweet life and never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that cost too much to be free

Hey lady, I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

I've been to paradise - never been to me
(I've been to Georgia and California, and anywhere I could run)
I've been to paradise - never been to me
(I've been to Nice and the isle of Greece
While I sipped champagne on a yacht)
I've been to paradise - never been to me
(I've been to cryin' for unborn children )

sebetulnya sih dah sering banget denger lagu ini, tapi baru ini berasa kesrempet sama liriknya.. 

Yes mbak, memang Ibunya Prairie as a woman, a mother and a wife suka banget deh berkeluh kesah tentang hidupnya, tentang betapa rumput tetangga lebih hijau (ehmm, beberapa tetangga ibunya Prairie malah ga punya rumput di halamannya.. hahaha) ya tentang sawang sinawang, tentang berandai-andai, tentang berkalau kalau, kalau saja begini pasti ga akan begitu, seumpama saja Ibunya Prairie itu model cantik yang langsing pasti akan dapat pasangan hidup pangeran tampan yang halaman kastilnya selebar satu kelurahan di sini  (halah, ngarep banget ..wkwkwk). Tapi ternyata hidup itu kan bukan kita yang buat suratan garisnya, Sudah ada sang Maha Perencana yang kita sebagai manusia belum mengerti tujuan akhirnya sampai kita benar-benar sudah sampai diakhirnya.. (halah, apasih ini!) ..  ya intinya gitu deh :D

Pernah terlintas dulu untuk tetap melajang sampai bosan, mengejar karir setinggi-tingginya.. tetapi eh tetapi akhirnya menikah juga, walau sudah bukan diusia muda *wink* bukan dengan pangeran tampan yang naik kuda sambil mempersembahkan bunga pula, karir juga ga jadi terkejar karena ketinggian.. hihihi... tapiiiii kan sama Tuhan di kasih kebahagian dan anugerah yang mengalahkan  itu semua, dalam bentuk malaikat kecil cantik bernama PRAIRIE...
