Roll With The Punches

Ini tentang salah satu lagu dari Lenka, seorang penyanyi asal Australi yg saya suka....sekali
Lagu2nya fun, funny, meaningful...
Seperti lagu yg satu ini, lagu pemberi semangat, di saat kita merasa jatuh, saat kita berada di posisi paling bawah pada roda yg berputar..
Setidaknya ada yg bisa membuat kita tetap optimis.

Roll with the punches, kalau diartikan perkata jadi "bergulung dengan pukulan"
tuing? aneh sekali kan?
tidak perlu dibayangkan.. nanti anda malah akan mendapati diri anda koprol sambil bawa pentungan!

Dalam istilah olahraga tinju, roll with the punches means step back or to one side as you are being hit, so that you do not receive the full force of the attack. Trik yg bagus, kalau dipukul dari depan, harusnya memang mundur dikit ke belakang biar pukulannya ga kerasa begitu sakit. Teknik pertahanan.

Dan memang istilah ini diambil dari situ, intinya pertahanan terhadap serangan, yang membabi buta (yg terakhir tambahan sendiri dari penulis) =P
Kalau dari kamusnya orang amrik & australi, roll with the punches idiomnya to be able to deal well with difficulties or criticism. (http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/roll+with+the+punches)
Sanggup mengatasi kesulitan dan keadaan kritis. Yip!

Kalau dicari padu padan katanya mungkin seperti kata Gambaru!
Salut buat jepang yg menerapkan motto ini.
Berjuang mati-matian sampai titik darah penghabisan!
and it's imprinted in Luffy's soul... and his crews of course.. :)
(One Piece dummy) =p

Berikut lirik Roll with The Punches by Lenka,
cekidot,

Roll, roll with the punches
Roll, roll with the punches

That really hurt me
Like a fist to the face
I wasn't ready
To be knocked out of place
Suddenly everything I was sure of
Sinking below the depths of the surface
It's unexpected, it usually is
When you're rejected
Or you take a hit
Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin
No time to grow a thicker skin
What kind of situation am I in now?

[Chorus]
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
If all life offers is black and blue
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches

Little weapons over the phone
They like to threaten the life that I know
They say get over here and get into the ring
But I'm not really much a fighter
My mechanisms of defense are down
My resistance is out on the town
I was alarmed by your attack
This isn't a boxing match
But I'll be damned if I ever let you win

[Chorus]
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
If all life offers is black and blue
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches

When all I want is a little stability
Some time without any bruises
You go and tell me the things that I don't want to hear
Putting your fist into my ears
Filling me up with the dread and the fear leaving you all in pieces
Suddenly everything's thrown in a spin
No time to grow a thicker skin
What kind of situation am I in now?

[Chorus]
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
If all life offers is black and blue
You've got to hold, hold, hold your head up high
When life tries to knock all the wind out of you
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches
If all life offers is black and blue
You've got to roll, roll, roll with the punches

Let Go

....

when we were fallin in love, the world seems beautiful..
can't stop smiling, spreading positive energy to the surrounding..

Smiling means happy.
That's one thing that we should keep in mind, just in case there will be something unexpected out of our expectation.
Being in that unexpected condition is something inevitable and it's sucks.
A new clothes can be stained, torn, unfit, old fashion, etc.
Deary...
In situation like that... full of hatred, negative..
But... negative must be balanced with positive, that's the way should be, to create the balance of the nature.. mother nature... (yeah)
Back to topic, however, we've ever feel happy.. let's pray that would be enough..
Just remember the happy feeling.. happy feeling.. happy feeling..

With the right proper, we sure we can make it through..
The key is, just let it go..
with the flow..
go..

Keep smile!

H.E.L.P.

Ehm,, ehm
Well, maybe sometimes we have to, I mean I have to admit, that I need some help.. I need to talk to anybody 'bout the problem which is still active and ready to blow out like a tumor..
But whom to I can talk?
whom to I can ask for help?
this question just gaining the intensity of the stress... hufh....

I already tried to forget it, to walked on earth like there's nothing to think to.
Tried to be strong, rigid, stand vigorously.. that a small shit like that won't bounce out my happy way..
It might work out, some times, but in the other some times (i hate it), it didn't.
Still, the small shit which is like an active element, or cell, cancer cell, which is aggressive, aiming to show off, blow its colony to destroy their innocent host..
This tiny little cell but aggressive one, is really annoying, can't let me rest in a piece moment.
It show itself, unwanted, uninvited, which will scattered all my rigidity...
useless..

I have One who always help me, I often ask to, but the problem is, I can't read the help.
Is this problem is a help?
How can I ask for a help from a help?
It's confusing, and it's still in my mind..

I wish I could yell, S.O.S!
then the S.O.S team will come with their rescue-mind team on me..
wew...
