Zigaz - sahabat jadi cinta
hati yang temaram
matamu juga mata mataku
ada hasrat yang mungkin terlarang
*
satu kata yang sulit terucap
hingga batinku tersiksa
tuhan tolong aku jelaskanlah
perasaanku berubah jadi cinta
**
tak bisa hatiku merapikan cinta
karena cinta tersirat bukan tersurat
meski bibirku terus berkata tidak
mataku terus pancarkan sinarnya
ku dapati diri makin tersesat
saat kita bersama
desah nafas yang tak bisa teruskan
persahabatan berubah jadi cinta
back to *, **
***
apa yang kita kini tengah rasakan
mengapakah kita coba persatukan
mungkin cobaan untuk persahabatan
atau mungkin sebuah takdir Tuhan
back to **, *** 2x
Yoga poses you can do anytime, anywhere
1. Deep Breathing
If you're stuck in a stressful situation (like endless traffic), Stiles says the easiest way to reduce tension on the spot is through a focused breathing meditation. Close your mouth, and breathe deeply and evenly through your nose. This simple technique calms your mind and nervous system and can be done absolutely anywhere.
2. Eagle Arms
For those who spend a lot of time sitting at a desk, Eagle Arms can help improve your posture and reduce tension in your shoulders and spine. Bringing your arms out in front of you, place your right elbow on top of your left elbow. Keep twisting your forearms around each other until your palms come together. If you can't bring the palms of your hands together, don't push it; just let the backs of your hands touch. As your breathe deeply in, lift your arms up. Take five long deep breaths in this position.
3. Prayer Behind the Back
Time spent in the kitchen hunched over a cutting board can lead to tension in your wrists, shoulders, and back —all of which this pose helps alleviate. Bring your fists together to touch behind your back at about waist-level. Begin to slide your hands up your spine, bringing palms together to touch in a prayer position. If this hurts your wrists, don't force it. Instead, stay with your fists joined together. Hold this position for five deep, slow breaths.
4. The Hamstring Helper
If you are going for a walk or jog, try what Stiles calls the hamstring helper. Come into a low lunge, bringing your fingertips on either side of your front foot. Slowly start to straighten both legs. If your fingertips don't touch the ground when your legs are straight, slightly bend your front knee. Keep
your hips squared and breathe deeply in this position for a minute or two. Repeat on your other leg.
5. Pigeon Pose
When practiced before bedtime, Stiles says Pigeon pose will help reduce tension in your hips and lower back. This relaxing posture can also help calm your mind and set you up for a restful night of sleep. Gently come into a low lunge with your right leg in front. Slowly inch your right foot over toward your left hand. Ease your knee down toward your right hand. Your calf should be perpendicular to your torso. If
you can't lower your hips to the ground, bring a pillow under your right hip to support it. Fold your torso over your leg, resting on your forearms. Stay in this position for a minute or two. Repeat on your left leg.

'The Last Airbender' - The Other 'Avatar'
How's this for a plot twist? M. Night Shyamalan, the writer/director behind the dark thrillers "The Sixth Sense," "Signs" and "The Village," is making a movie based on an animated TV show.
The film is an adaptation of the Nickelodeon series, "Avatar: The Last Airbender," but Shyamalan had to drop the first word in the title to avoid confusion with James Cameron's record-setting blockbuster. It's the most effects-heavy and action-packed movie of the Oscar-nominated director's career. And Shyamalan's inspiration for taking on the project that's so different from his previous work came from very close to home.
Shyamalan told the Los Angeles Times that his daughter insisted their whole family watch the show. After that, he says, "all four of us were hooked. I was like, 'This would make a killer movie.'" And the excitement didn't stop at his kids. "My wife who really has been kind of in neutral about my career was insane about it... [She said] 'You have to do it. This is it. This is the one.'"
In many ways "The Last Airbender" seems like an odd fit for Shyamalan. The movie is more kid-friendly than the films that made him famous. His last outing was the R-rated horror flick, "The Happening." Plus, it is the first time he has directed an adaptation of another work, though he did write the screenplay for 1999's "Stuart Little."
"The Last Airbender" takes place in a world where the four elements -- fire, water, earth, and air -- can be magically controlled by special individuals called "benders." And there is only one person in the world who can manipulate all four. He is the "Avatar," a 12-year-old boy named Aang, played by newcomer Noah Ringer. With the help of his friends, Aang faces the armies of the Fire Nation, let by the villainous Prince Zuko ("Slumdog Millionaire" star Dev Patel).
In addition to the encouragement of his family, Shyamalan has said that the philosophical nature of the original show got him interested in making the movie. He told MTV, "The spirituality, the centering on relationships and family, on inherent optimism... it has all this stuff."
Shyamalan is counting on the film to resonate with audiences just as fully as the series did for his family. Plans are already underway expand "The Last Airbender" into a trilogy, with each movie taking its story from one season of the show.
To preview the massive special effects and martial-arts action in "The Last Airbender," watch the exclusive trailer below. The movie opens nationwide on July 2nd.
