Growing Pains

My grandparents' house rule includes a limited amount of time on watching TV/ day. I was fine with that. Why I know this? Because I cannot recall being so frustrated about wanting to watch TV or sneaking out of my bedroom to steal another ten minutes of time. However, I remember being glued on to the television set whenever this serial in on. Growing Pains, an American television sitcom about an affluent family, residing in Huntington, New York, with a working mother and a stay-at-home psychiatrist father raising four children together, and their adopted son.

The serial introduced me to the talented Leonardo Dicaprio (yes, I did collect his pin up posters back then), get me to sing the beautiful catchy soundtrack "As Long as We've Got Each Other," which was written and composed by both John Bettis and Steve Dorff, and got me to wish about having a big brother like- of course- Mike Seaver.

If you can tell me where can I get the dvds... Please..please..please?

Membawa Tuhan dalam Sampul

Ketika pemberontakkan semakin kehilangan muaranya
Ketika berita dan wacana lebih banyak memekakan telinga daripada menyercahkan harap
Saya memilih untuk membaca puisi-puisi tua, bermimpi masih ada negeri dongeng dengan kerubim dan tetua bijaksana di alamnya...

Ketika Tuhan dibawa-bawa
Untuk menjadi sampul pembenaran sebuah tindak anarki
Saya memilih untuk mendengarkan Dia lewat desir angin, melihat Dia di mata anak kecil saat mengagumi kupu-kupu, dan mengartikan gerimis sebagai airmataNya

Dia bilang, saya harus berdoa bagi yang mengkhianati saya
Dia bilang, saya harus sodorkan pipi yang lain saat ditampar
Dia bilang untuk tetap percaya dan jangan takut walau saya sedang melewati lembah kekelaman
Dia yang Esa. Yang Maha.

Kalau Dia kuasa berkata seperti itu
Apakah mungkin Dia perlu lagi dibela?
