Biografi Chairil Anwar

Chairil Anwar (lahir di Medan, Sumatera Utara, 26 Juli 1922 – meninggal di Jakarta, 28 April 1949 pada umur 26 tahun) atau dikenal sebagai "Si Binatang Jalang" (dalam karyanya berjudul Aku [2]) adalah penyair terkemuka Indonesia. Bersama Asrul Sani dan Rivai Apin, ia dinobatkan oleh H.B. Jassin sebagai pelopor Angkatan '45 dan puisi modern Indonesia.

Dilahirkan di Medan, Chairil Anwar merupakan anak tunggal. Ayahnya bernama Toeloes, mantan bupati Indragiri Riau, berasal dari nagari Taeh Baruah, Limapuluh Kota, Sumatra Barat. Sedangkan dari pihak ibunya, Saleha yang berasal dari nagari Situjuh, Limapuluh Kota [1] dia masih punya pertalian keluarga dengan Sutan Sjahrir, Perdana Menteri pertama Indonesia. [2]

Chairil masuk sekolah Holland Indische school (HIS), sekolah dasar untuk orang-orang pribumi waktu penjajah Belanda. Dia kemudian meneruskan pendidikannya di Meer Uitgebreid Lager Onderwijs, sekolah menengah pertama belanda, tetapi dia keluar sebelum lulus. Dia mulai untuk menulis sebagai seorang remaja tetapi tak satupun puisi awalnya yang ditemukan.

Pada usia sembilan belas tahun, setelah perceraian orang-tuanya, Chairil pindah dengan ibunya ke Jakarta di mana dia berkenalan dengan dunia sastera. Meskipun pendidikannya tak selesai, Chairil menguasai bahasa Inggris, bahasa Belanda dan bahasa Jerman, dan dia mengisi jam-jamnya dengan membaca karya-karya pengarang internasional ternama, seperti: Rainer M. Rilke, W.H. Auden, Archibald MacLeish, H. Marsman, J. Slaurhoff dan Edgar du Perron. Penulis-penulis ini sangat mempengaruhi tulisannya dan secara tidak langsung mempengaruhi puisi tatanan kesusasteraan Indonesia.


Nama Chairil mulai terkenal dalam dunia sastera setelah pemuatan tulisannya di "Majalah Nisan" pada tahun 1942, pada saat itu dia baru berusia dua puluh tahun. Hampir semua puisi-puisi yang dia tulis merujuk pada kematian.[3]. Chairil ketika menjadi penyiar radio Jepang di Jakarta jatuh cinta pada Sri Ayati tetapi hingga akhir hayatnya Chairil tidak memiliki keberanian untuk mengungkapkannya.[4]

Semua tulisannya yang asli, modifikasi, atau yang diduga diciplak dikompilasi dalam tiga buku : Deru Campur Debu (1949); Kerikil Tajam Yang Terampas dan Yang Putus (1949); dan Tiga Menguak Takdir (1950, kumpulan puisi dengan Asrul Sani dan Rivai Apin).


Vitalitas puitis Chairil tidak pernah diimbangi kondisi fisiknya, yang bertambah lemah akibat gaya hidupnya yang semrawut. Sebelum dia bisa menginjak usia dua puluh tujuh tahun, dia sudah kena sejumlah penyakit. Chairil Anwar meninggal dalam usia muda karena penyakit TBC[5] Dia dikuburkan di Taman Pemakaman Umum Karet Bivak, Jakarta. Makamnya diziarahi oleh ribuan pengagumnya dari zaman ke zaman. Hari meninggalnya juga selalu diperingati sebagai Hari Chairil Anwar.

First Confession

really got nothing to say. pft~. seperti menemukan bangkai yang lama tertimbun di dalam tanah. entah perasaan apa yang gue rasain sekarang. kaget, sedih, kecewa, dan mau marah. tapi sama siapa? orang bilang bulan pertama itu memang berat, wajar. but that's not the point. well, from the first time i knew that he already told someone about his feeling. one of my friend told me. tapi kalau denger dari orangnya langsung itu lebih nyes~. yup, karena gue tau lebih detailnya dari dia. sebenarnya dia ga salah kok, yang salah adalah pikiran gue. wajar aja kalau misalnya dia mencari orang lain, setelah dia menyatakan perasaan ke gue dan gue ga ngerespon, karena waktu itu gue emang belum ada perasaan apa-apa sama dia. then after he confessed about his feeling to me, he looked for another girl a few months later. that's natural! sebenarnya wajar yang namanya cowok kalau udah ditolak satu cewek trus dia nyari cewek lain. tapi kalau jeda nya cuma 2 bulan, apa itu namanya? padahal sebelum gue sama dia juga gue lagi didekati sama 7 orang, tapi jujur aja gue emang ga ada perasaan suka atau nerima perasaan salah satu dari mereka, gue tolak mereka semua walau sampai sekarang pun masih tetap ngejar. jadi, ya selama berbulan-bulan itu hati gue hampa ga ada siapa-siapa di dalam nya. nah baru pas akhir tahun gue mulai ngerasa "i think that i like him" dan setelah itu kita deket lagi dan di akhir tahun baru we're in relationship. jadi ya emang disini ga ada yang salah. that's not his fault, or my fault either. tapi kok di hati kecil gue berkata "apa gue ini perlarian aja ya?". i was talking about this things a few days ago with him. dia bilang gue bukan pelarian, karena emang dari awal yang dia suka adalah gue. dan setelah dia tahu kalau gue ada rasa juga ke dia, hati dia makin mantap dan dia terus maju sampai akhirnya dia nyatain buat yang kedua kalinya ke gue. and we have ended up about this all, fogetting about all of 'her' and 'her'. actually, i found an evidence about what she feel for him, i think she can hide but she can't hide. tapi ya gua anggap aja itu angin lalu. tapi tetap aja gue masih ngerasa takut atau khawatir. i still feel like i am pelarian. tanpa gue tau, apakah dia ngerasain hal yang sama kaya yang gue rasain. harusnya sih dia yang ngerasa lebih takut daripada gue. mungkin gue bisa dibilang masih terpatok sama masa lalu. how so stupid i am. well, terakhir dia bilang "then i promise not to hide something, and always tell the truth and also don't love girls beside you. and also you don't share your love or any feeling to other boys even he's your ex". sekarang gue anggap kita seri. yang penting yang gue jalanin adalah masa depan, bukan masa lalu. masa lalu dia, ya masa lalu punya dia. masa lalu gue, ya masa lalu punya gue. tapi yang kita akan jalanin adalah masa depan, dan itu punya kita. i hope after this, there's no more obstacle that hinder our love even his ex or my ex or anyone and anything. amin.

Poème D'amour

J'ai demandé à la vie de me donner la force: elle m'a donné des épreuves à traverser... J'ai demandé à la vie de me donner la sagesse : elle m'a donné des problèmes à résoudre... J'ai demandé à la vie de me donner la richesse : elle m'a donné un cerveau et deux bras pour travailler... J'ai demander à la vie de me donner du courage: elle m'a donné des défis à relever... J'ai demander à la vie de me donner de l'amour : elle a mit sur mon chemin des gens difficile à comprendre... J'ai demander à la vie de me faire des faveurs :elle m'a donner des opportunités... Dans ma vie, je n'ai jamais reçu ce que j'ai demandé mais j'ai toujours obtenu la FORCE de me RELEVER et la tête haute..

Tu Me Manques

Une demande : prends soin de toi. 
Un souhait : ne m’oublie pas. 
Un mensonge : je ne pense à toi. 
Une vérité : tu me manque. 
Une réalité : je t’adore 

Tu me manque, j'ai pas le droit d'exprimer la folie qui me hante, j'ai pas le droit d'aimer et je ne peux rien avoir pour calmer mon mal, ma passion, mon désir et mes folles pensées! 

I Am Thankful

BEING A COUCH POTATO, 
BECAUSE HE IS HOME WITH ME 
AND NOT OUT AT THE BARS.

BECAUSE IT MEANS SHE IS AT HOME, 
NOT ON THE STREETS.

BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE 
BEEN SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS.

BECAUSE IT MEANS

FOR ALL THE COMPLAINING 
I HEAR ABOUT THE GOVERNMENT 
BECAUSE IT MEANS 
WE HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH.. 

FOR THE PARKING SPOT 
I FIND AT THE FAR END OF THE PARKING LOT 
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM CAPABLE OF WALKING 
AND I HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH TRANSPORTATION. 

FOR MY HUGE HEATING BILL 
BECAUSE IT MEANS 
I AM WARM. 

FOR THE LADY BEHIND ME IN CHURCH 
WHO SINGS OFF KEY BECAUSE IT MEANS 
I CAN HEAR. 

FOR THE PILE OF LAUNDRY AND IRONING 
BECAUSE IT MEANS 
I HAVE CLOTHES TO WEAR. 

FOR WEARINESS AND ACHING MUSCLES 
AT THE END OF THE DAY 
BECAUSE IT MEANS I HAVE BEEN 
CAPABLE OF WORKING HARD. 

FOR THE ALARM THAT GOES OFF 
IN THE EARLY MORNING HOURS 
BECAUSE IT MEANS I AM ALIVE.

When A Girl Is...

When a GIRL is quiet,
Millions of things are running in her mind
When a GIRL is not arguing,
She is thinking deeply
When a GIRL looks at you with eyes full of
questions,
She is wondering how long you will be
around
When a GIRL answers "i'm fine" after a
few seconds,
She is not at all fine
When a GIRL stares at you,
She is wondering why you are lying
When a GIRL lays on your chest,
She is wishing for you to be hers forever
When a GIRL calls you everyday,
She is seeking for your attention
When a GIRL text you everyday,
She wants you to reply at least once
When a GIRL says I love you,
She means it
When a GIRL says that she can't live
without you,
She has made up her mind that you are
her future
When a GIRL says "i miss you",
No one in this world can miss you more
than that.

Je T'aime Paris

attends-moi paris!

Friends For Me Is...

Friends. A simple word isn't it? It's uttered every day to almost every person imaginable. Who are your friends? I used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh and talk to. Now i know that friends aren't that, they're the people that touch your hearts. You could spend hours with them doing nothing at all and it can be the best time of your life, just because it was with them. They're the people you can share your secrets with, cry with, laugh with, and just have fun with. They don't judge you or make you change. The accept you exactly who you are. They look at you and they see a great person, one they love spending time with. You all share something in common and are tied together by memories, tears, laughs, and smiles. You're tied together by love for the other. Friendship is the strangest but greatest thing in the world. I find my time with my friends, the best times of my life. My friends are my heart, my soul, my fun, my laughter, tears, love, and my life {}

7 Tips to Make Your Hair Shine

1. Eat Right
Feed your hair lots of protein! Lean meats, fish, eggs, beans, and low-fat dairy products will help make your hair healthy, says Philip Kingsley, author of "The Hair Bible." He especially recommends eating foods that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, including salmon, avocados, flaxseed, and almonds. "Eating these can increase hair's sheen over time," Kingsley told Prevention. It takes six months for your new diet to make your hair shine.

2. Clean-up!
Banish the buildup of all those hair products you use--from hair spray to mousse. Kingsley recommends using a clarifying shampoo once a week or try this homemade recipe: Add 1 tablespoon of baking soda to 2 tablespoons of your shampoo. The baking soda will remove sticky residue from your hair.

3. Use Conditioner
Use a conditioning products every time you shampoo.

4. Blot It
When you get out of the shower and dry your hair, squeeze and blot it. Don't rub it as this friction roughs up the cuticles. Try an ultra absorbent hair towel to reduce the time it takes to dry your hair.

5. Cool Off
Before drying your hair, use a heat-resistant product to seal in shine and prevent damage from the dryer's high temperature. Every once in a while, use the cool setting on your dryer.

6. Sleep on Satin
Satiny hair needs satiny pillowcases. Look at it this way: When you're asleep your head is about nine pounds of deadweight. Friction from tossing and turning can create fuzz.Satin pillowcases reduce the friction.

7. Brush with Boar
Use only boar-bristle brushes, which are superior for smoothing hair and distributing natural oils, notes Prevention. Plastics can break your hair since they don't have as much give. 

Taylor's Quote

"The Moment I Knew" by Taylor Swift

Eleven Hints for Life

1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return.
But what is more painful is to love someone and never
find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who
means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was
never meant to be and you just have to let go.

3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a
porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away
feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

4. It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose
it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been
missing until it arrives.

5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an
hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it
takes a lifetime to forget someone.

6. Don't go for looks, they can deceive. Don't go for wealth,
even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you
smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day
seem bright.

7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go,
be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things you want to do.

8. Always put yourself in the other's shoes. If you feel that it
hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.

9. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck
a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may
heal and bless.

10. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best
of everything they just make the most of everything that comes
along their way.

11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with
a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone
around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die,
you're the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.
