Eminem & My Boy

One day, couple years ago, I was in my mom's house and I heard my first boy's singing Eminem's song. Suprising me.. coz he's still so young, at that time he just enrolled a secondary school.

So I asked him.. where did you heard that song from.. He told me he heard over his friend.. then I said to him, the words in the lyrics was not good & not propritate for your age.

He look at me and with the quity face he said: "I know mommy.. but the song & music is good.." few seconds silent.. then I replied: "I know.. that's why I have the CD at home.." ha..ha..ha..

Son: "What.. you have the CD.. why don't you tell me.."
Me: "No.. of course I don't wanna tell you, like I said the lyric is not propriate for you.."
Son: "Can I have it mommy.. please.. please.."
hehehe.. that cute face..
Me: "Ok.. you can have it.. but only for singging.. you cannot use that language for daily talk.."
Son: "Ok.. mommy.. I won't.."

After that.. for couple weeks.. what I heard was Eminem.. home.. in the car.. my mom's house.. everywhere Eminem.. He asked people to hear the album, including his brother & also my mom.. hahaha..


One day, I was driving and he sat beside me.. of course.. listening to Eminem hehehe.. then.. this song 'Ass Like That' come up..

While he's sing along with it.. I asked him.. "Do you know what pee pee mean in that song?" Maybe he didn't expect me asking that kind of question.. so he just shake his head. Then I told him what does it mean.. he look at me & said "I know mommy" :D

Question continued.. "and do you know why it's noeng noeng..?" then I started to explain "When you get older and star to like a girl.. you might feel something.. and your pee pee could be noeng noeng.. It's a normal thing.." and the advice began "but you have to control it.. don't do stupid thing that might ruin your future." bla bla bla

This is the way I talk to my boys.. explain things & give them advice. We cannot obturate our kids from the world.. and we might not able to protect them all the time.. What we can do is giving them a good point of view, guide them with knowledge & religion, and an open communication; so they will know how to behave & act toward the world.

Like Jesus [Like A G6]

First I heard this song from my son.. while I was driving.. It's sound hilarious tho..

Although I'm a Christian and a Jesus lover, for me, It wasn't offensive at all. I even said to my son.. "One of the good thing being a Christian is we can express ourself in any kind of music as we wanna it, because we are all have our own style & uniquely. As long as it's propriate & do not disgrace God."

Then I tried to look up the clip in youtube & read some comments.. wow.. :)

Well.. every person have a right for any opinion.. and normal if we are all have different point of view, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Although some people think the song & the clip as an insulting & disgusting, but I think we cannot judge them making a mockery of Jesus; because we don't really know what the purpose behind that.. only them & Jesus who knew, so let HIM be the judge.

Honestly.. I like the song.. and I think the word "Like Jesus" will stuck in people mind who ever hear this song; and "turnin' water into wine.. so delicous.." awesome.

I just believe.. if the purpose was for insulting or mockery they will pay the price.. & JC is able to turn that into something good for His own gracefulness.

So enjoy it.. Let JC works for the rest.



Pertama kali gw dengar lagu ini dari anak gw.. disaat gw lagi nyetir... Lagunya lucu banget..

Walaupun gw seorang Kristen dan seorang pecinta Jesus, bagi gw, itu tidak menyinggung sama sekali. Gw bahkan berkata kepada anak gw .. "Salah satu hal yang baik menjadi seorang Kristen adalah kita bisa mengekspresikan diri kita dalam setiap jenis musik seperti yang kita mau, karena kita semua memiliki gaya & keunikan sendiri. Selama itu propriate & tidak mempermalukan Tuhan.."

Lalu gw coba cari klip-nya di youtube & membaca beberapa komentar.. wow.. :)

Yah.. setiap orang memiliki hak untuk menyatakan pendapat apapun.. dan normal jika kita semua memiliki sudut pandang yang berbeda, dan tidak ada yang salah dengan itu.

Meskipun beberapa orang berpikir lagu & klip sebagai menghina & menjijikkan, tapi gw pikir kita tidak bisa menilai mereka membuat ejekan terhadap Jesus, karena kita tidak benar-benar tahu apa tujuan di balik itu.. hanya mereka & Jesus yang tahu, jadi biarlah DIA yang menilai & jadi hakim.

Jujur.. gw suka lagunya.. dan gw rasa kata "Like Jesus" akan terjebak dalam pikiran orang-orang yang pernah mendengar lagu ini, dan "turnin' water into wine.. so delicous.." awesome.

Gw percaya.. jika tujuan itu untuk menghina atau ejekan, mereka akan membayar harganya.. & JC mampu mengubah itu menjadi sesuatu yang baik untuk keagunggan-Nya sendiri.

Jadi nikmatin aza.. Biarkan JC bekerja untuk selebihnya.

To Have And Not To Hold

To have and not to hold
So hot, yet so cold
My heart is in your hand
And yet you never stand
Close enough for me to have my way

To love but not to keep
To laugh, not to weep
Your eyes, they go right through
And yet you never do
Anything to make me want to stay

Chorus:

Like a moth to a flame
Only I am to blame
Ba ba da ba ba ba
What can I do
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I go straight to you
Ba ba da ba ba ba
I've been told
You're to have, not to hold

To look but not to see
To kiss but never be
The object of your desire
I'm walking on a wire
And there's no one at all
To break my fall

(chorus)

You're to have, not to hold
You're to have, not to hold

(chorus)

You're to have, not to hold
You're to have, not to hold
You're to have, not to hold
To break my heart

Foolish

I'm such a fool.. God had showed me lot of things.. why should I still wonder or expect more.. It's crystal clear.. there won't be any future, why we even bother to dream about it.

Don't think about it, don't hope for it, just live with it, play with it & enjoy it while we can.. or.. step out!!
