Timekeeper

He had been given the watch on his tenth birthday. It was an ordinary grey plastic wristwatch in every respect except for the fact that it was counting down. “That is all of the time you have left in the world, son. Use it wisely.” And indeed he did. As the watch ticked away, the boy, now a man, lived life to the fullest. He climbed mountains and swam oceans. He talked and laughed and lived and loved. The man was never afraid, for he knew exactly how much time he had left.

Eventually, the watch began its final countdown. The old man stood looking over everything he had done, everything he had built. 5. He shook hands with his old business partner, the man who had long been his friend and confidant. 4. His dog came and licked his hand, earning a pat on the head for its companionship. 3. He hugged his son, knowing that he had been a good father. 2. He kissed his wife on the forehead one last time. 1. The old man smiled and closed his eyes.

Then, nothing happened. The watch beeped once and turned off. The man stood standing there, very much alive. You would think that in that moment he would have been overjoyed. Instead, for the first time in his life, the man was scared.

How to Tour in a Band or Whatever

1. Don’t Complain. Bitching, moaning, whining is tour cancer. If something is wrong fix it or shut the fuck up you fucking dick. goddamn.
2. If you fart, claim it.
3. Don’t Lose shit. Everybody loses shit. Don’t fucking do it. Asshole.
4. Don’t fuck anyone in the band. There are tons of people to fuck who are not in this band. Dumbass.
5. If you feel like shit all the time, drink less beer at the gig. You will play better & feel better. What are you… a child? Some have the endurance for self abuse. Most don’t.
6. Remember the soundman’s name. He will do a better job.
7. Eat oranges. Cures constipation & prevents colds.
8. Masturbate. Duh… Where & when? Be creative. You’re an artist right?
9. If YOU can’t carry your suitcase 3 blocks, it’s too goddamn big.
10. Respect public space in the van. Don’t clutter, you Fuck.
11. If you borrow something, return it. Not Fucked Up.
12. Do not let the promoter dick you or talk you out of the guarantee. If there were not enuf people there, it’s their fault.
13. Driver picks the music.
14. One navigator only (usually sitting shotgun). Everyone else shut the fuck up.
15. Soundcheck is for checking sounds. Shut the fuck up while everyone else is checking.
16. Don’t wander off. Let someone know where you are.
17. Clean up after yourself. What are you… a goddamn toddler?
18. Touring makes everyone bi-polar. Ride the waves as best you can and remember, moods pass. So don’t make any snap decisions or declarations when you are drunk or insane.
19. Fast food is Poison.
20. The guestlist is for friends, family & people you might want to fuck. Everyone else can pay. They have day jobs.
21. Don’t evaluate your whole life while you’re sitting in a janitor closet waiting to go on. You think you’re above having shitty days at work? Shut up & do your goddamn job. 

This list was written under the influence of lots of painkiller & anti-depressants while on tour w/ such a great bands. I hope this list will help you get along w/ your co-workers whatever your job is. Contributions to the contributed crowds and some other folks.
Thanks for not being an asshole, bye 

So fucking amazing. This is now officially my bible.

A Glimpse from the Past

have you ever felt two mutually opposite thought argues?
thats what happen to me, fist I thing I thought, I've got a disorder,
yes, bipolar disorder, but soon I find out, it's not.
and yet it happen when I overthink of you
well this is the story

Sid Vicious       :  How could you get a girl like her? did you trick her?

Choa Margera   :  No, it wasn't, I just loved her

Sid Vicious       :  Well damn you lucky-kid

Choa Margera   :  No, it isn't lucky, it's what I fight for, wrong again bub

Sid Vicious       :  so, how's that worked? you even didn't outsmart her? what are you

Choa Margera   :  maybe things will worked out with a word happy

Sid Vicious       :  by the word happy, that's you mean?

Choa Margera   :  yea, she feel comfort, and to let her sadness end, and make her laugh

Sid Vicious       :  so you comes up with jokes and those funny things?

Choa Margera   :  yup, some thing like that I guess

Sid Vicious       :  maybe you're right, happiness is a good thing to carry on

Choa Margera   :  no, happiness's just a state of mind, i'm afraid she just hide her bad feeling on me

Sid Vicious       :  no, I see you, she's kind, nice girl, she's understand you

Choa Margera   :  I know that she's shame on me, I'm not the smartest kid in the class, unpopular,  teacher fugitive, maybe she hate me even when we were together

Sid Vicious       :  she understand about your habits, and she doesn't care, besides you really make her happy, you make her laugh

Choa Margera   :  well, what if one day she's stop laughing?

Sid Vicious       :  ...

Choa Margera   :  what if one day she gets bored with me on everything?

Sid Vicious       :  ...

Choa Margera   :  I just, don't want to hurt her heart

Sid Vicious       :  maybe it's just you don't wanna get hurt (?)

Choa Margera   :  both i guess..

Maybe This Place Is The Same and We're Just Changing

Yo!
this already 2015
it's been a long time eh?
let's get started, I'm gonna tell a tall tale of me (susah ya bacanya? hahaha)

here we go,
I can't promise ya'll it isn't about love again, yet it still
well I admit it, some of my project actually based on her, one year ago,
the time when I started to built myself again after "things that doesn't work supposed to be"
yeah I'm a sob, Emo? what ever you called it, dude, cry isn't always for baby :P
but when I started thinkin' "If I haven't met her in those days would this gonna happened to me?"
another quote from Pierce The Veil
"My love for you was bulletproof but you're the one who shot me"
hahaha
well I still had a lot of time to regret.

after I started to join Poky Foxy, We've done a lot of gigs, met a new great people, we had a best time,
but somehow the story between us, there's something can't be hold up, so...
nah, I'm not gonna tell about this, I'm not gonna let this leak..
after all we've got a lots of really good-great time,
The girl who broke me up for the last time made me down this project seriously, I dunno why, It feels like I can told her in a proper way, so I make it sublime, still got her in this Poky Foxy lyric.
long story short, we still making a new single, and guess what, maybe I'm doing some vocal!
yep clean vocal, like what I did before on Non-Sense, btw this is the point

let's talk about Non-Sense
it's a band project that I've started to get an attention from a girl who left me before the last girl (yah kebahas lagi nih) hahaha
let's just say it's a prove-able project
3 years with them, and yes I resign because we just got separated by the surface.
we're spread off from the neighbourhood (mereka keluar negri, mereka semua)
I'm the only one who still stay in this country, poor me huh?

Long story short, they (Non-Sense) still continued their project without me
until someday, they e-mail me to fill in in their tour, that's great!
so we've made a deal, and "can't promote" is part of the deal, that's why I can't spread Poky Foxy
and I'm just playing with them in this country, they doing a south asian tour
we caught up in the end of the year, and doing some brutal cool again
about that time, Poky Foxy just got the show after new year, then I made a tour for myself
I called it "Hunting Party Tour"
why? because I'm doing my part and it's like searching a party and play through it hahaha

but somehow there's something that bother me, I'm visiting a lot of place,
like a place where we first meet, my place when we used to hang, band camp, everything seems like change a bit, it lost another tone, a memory flashing when I visited a place where we used to be, just like when I'm broken and rotting in my hometown, then I found a last thing that you gave to me before you leave.

"Munchkin, stay in tune with your surrounding, stay calm" she wrote a note to remind me that the universe doesn't revolve around me. I was an angry kid growing up, hated everything and didn't get along well. this girl change me a lot and she was the one who got me the idea to start a Non-Sense, if you're reading this, I just wanna say thank you. at least I'm not as sad as I used to be right now :)) (tersimpan dalam box mesin waktu, hahaha)


quit it for awhile, let's talk about the tour (ngeles)
we're played hard in that tour, I'm doing a lot of stage dive and some sing-a-long thingy
really nice huh? hahaha
that tour makes me think that, this year is awesome!

all we need is just a repeat!!!
soon asap!!!

let's make this tale end, and I'm still gonna write another tale about me,
about #hernamehere ,
about Careless Inc. ,
about Poky Foxy, The Side Project, etc.
just keep getting my feed on this blog or my other social media account, go search choamargera
hahaha

bye

Zombie Never Need a Lunch

hey, it's me again
2 years passed away
wow, how could be great?

here I'm still keep the promise
where to go?
and what to prove?
it's just a thing right now

I'm doin some busy things
roll up with crazy guys named Poky Foxy
I do some open mic in anywhere
still makin a song

but in case it's june, it's my month
i'm gonna start my last video clip
yea, for the last time, I made it to you
end up in your date, consider it's a present

for a kid who left behind, I'm not gonna down for it
well this promise to stay away and  never get around is hard
but I guess I'm doin it right
I'm not a man, I'm just a kid that bring disease and pain

makin some friends and enemies (lots of enemies)
a bunch of friends that stand still for everything what you do

you told me to think about it well I did
now I don't want to feel a thing anymore
before I go, let me remind you what you're waiting for
before you go, could you love me just a little bit more
one more time

I'll never leave too long
I wanna make it clear
and if you wait for me
I always keep you here

I don't think I'm finished with you yet
I don't want you to don't know that
I'll never finished with you
I can live without you but
without you I'll be miserable at best

Lost and Never Found

Do you know what it is like to hurt at night, for no reason? 
How long have you feel so lost?
a hour? a month? a year?
you nailed it just in time, how's the end?
still lost yet?
well, when you try to count how long you've been lost, I told you
you can't

it feels bad huh?
yeah I've ever feel lost, a lot of lost
yes I'm missing what I lost
I lost a good memories from the good one who gave it to me
you are my new definition of beauty and passion,
you bring me down

to every sleepless night we spend
talking about our life and understand
how you said that I'm one in a million
but never in a million years
I will end up being your boyfriend
we will always be just friends
(:

but somehow the cloud never make the same rain
when someone you loved turn to memory,
that memory becomes a wonderful treasure
to always hold in your hand

don't worry
it's not missing you that kills me
knowing that someday you'll forget me...
but
I wanted you know that I'm happy if my imagination comes true
that walking through the days by your side

I wish it didn't had to be like this
I think about you every night and day
cuz you're always there

I made something for you
juat in case I still care
even you still don't



I'm not stand to fight, either say goodbye (:

Rush Week, Less Soul

Yoohoo!

lama gak nulis nih, udah ada 2 taun ya?
ih boong banget padahal juga baru gak nulis beberapa bulan
lagian ini juga ngetik gak nulis, boong mulu nih

jadi,
ada fakta gini nih 9 dari 10 orang sakit thypus itu mengaku males kalo lagi kumat
waktu bilang fakta ini, saya tau  ada beberapa orang nyeletuk
"bro, semua orang penyakit apapun juga males bro kalo lagi kumat"
ya gw jawab "tau gak kenapa 9 dari sepulu doank? soalnya yang ke-10 udah males di survey"
#tek #tek #des! garing tjoy
iya tapi asal kalian tau aja nih, thypus itu penyakit yang ngeselin.

gimana gak ngeselin, bayangin aja, nih ceritanya thypus, tapi lo yg kena ya, kan gw udah
ngga kog becanda, kan cuma nyumpahin.
gejalanya itu tiba-tiba panas tinggi, jadi panasnya hampir sama kyk genteng, tinggi banget kan
trus badan lemes, kerasa banget, tiba-tiba waktu mau bangun itu berasa ngelentekin badan dari kasur, lengket banget kyk stiker.

trus uda gitu dokternya ini yang ngeselin nih, "tolong selama seminggu ini usahakan lakukan semua hal di tempat tidur saja"

kurang ngeselin apa coba statement itu, masa iya gw mau berak di kasur, dokter ini gimana sih, gak peka deh #lho

padahal minggu lalu itu seharusnya gw uda gak di kamar, tapi di puncak argopuro, wuiss keren ya
cuma omong doank, kan gak jadi berangkat, thypus sih, emang dasar si thypus, gak peka #lhoo!!

udah gitu yang bikin jengkel ini setelah pemulihan, kan tenaga udah balik tapi di suruh gak ngapa-ngapain, jadi cuma tiduran terus, jadi ibaratnya lo uda ngecarge HP tapi lo kalo mau telpon ke wartel, jadi percuma gitu istirahat, toh juga tenaganya dihabisin juga di kasur, ntar di isi lagi di kasur, kan ngeselin ya cuma bangun tidur, tidur lagi, emang gw mbah surip?

tapi memang otak manusia itu kayaknya gak di setting untuk menerima kekecewaan.
coba deh dibuktiin, kita flashback dulu nih sedikit.
waktu saya diputusin itu... sebentar salah cerita...
waktu saya diputuskan oleh dokter BAHWA thypus saya kambuh...
langsung berasa down...
ibaratnya lo udah bikin kapal tapi lo malah diajak terbang muter-muter pake helikopter
gak nyambung ya? terserah gw lagi, yang sakit gw juga, gak terima lo? mau gw tularin lo?

jadi gw down waktu itu, gw bingung, karena minggu itu kan penentuan, eh malah kepayahan sendiri
gagal jadi anggota, gagal mau launching video clip, gagal manggung, pokoknya gagal semua deh
gini, sebenernya video clipnya itu maunya di launching pas tanggal 15 january, gitu.

balik lagi ke topik, thypus, yang ngeselin lagi, thypus itu gak boleh makan sayur dan makanan extreme
gw kebayang gimana rasanya kalo orang yang vege itu thypus, mau makan apa ya dia? sayur gak boleh, lha makan daging ntar dosa, apakah mungkin dia harus kenyang makan cinta? #tssah!
kanibal donk, kan cinta juga kuya!?

yaudalah capek juga cerita ginian, bukan capek ngetik sih, cuma ngeselin aja, keyboardnya batreinya abis, ini ngetik pake on screen keyboard, sampe sini dulu lah, kapan-kapan di kasih cerita lagi



bye

Kind of A Sad Story

The reason why people calling me so "arrogant" that truely I'm not

Take that time by yourself to get to know yourself and rediscover what makes you shine. Don’t surrender yourself to waiting, and don’t stay isolated for too long, because there’s a beautiful you the world is dying to meet.

"Good Things" to "Carry Out"

Hold up dude

gak kerasa udah 2014 yah, dari 2 bulan yang lalu uda di panggilin terus sama 2014
jadi apa aja yang uda dilewatin? banyak ya?
mau gak ceritain yang happening di 2013?
gw cerita dulu deh

Diluar mitosnya sebagai tahun yang memuat angka sial namun yang terjadi justru sebaliknya
ya meski masih ada sih sialnya, kerasa "pait" dikitlah, gapapalah, buat pelajaran biar gak keulang di 2014

yah sekedar flashback aja

dulu bertarung sendiri sekarang bertarung bersama (lagi)
tapi tetep bawa label sendiri sih

hahaha

keasikan 2013 adalah, bisa aktif lagi ngegigs sana sini
dan tau apa? meet a lots of legend!

bahas satu-satu deh, jangan berebut, gak baik

pertama dari yg paling awal, yaiyalah pertama jelas yg paling awal

gw highlights show yg belum gw entri di 2013

Tawaran dateng katanya di suruh manggung akustikan, yaudah di turutin aja

jadi pas itu ceritanya nganggur-nganggur jalan ke gedung P di kamus ketemu dan di tanyain, "kamu anak band to?"
ya jelas bukanlah, saya promotor sekaligus personil yg aktif di bidang musik, semacam freelance gitu
kalo anak band itu pengertian di kepala masih SMA, ngeband asal keluar suara, suara kenceng, musik kenceng, teriak bentak-bentakin penonton, trus ngakunya anak hatkor-hatkor gitu

sebenernya saya sebagai promotor yg baik saya sebenarnya mau merekomendasikan Poky Foxy, entah karena kurangnya pulsa sehingga miss comunication dan yg di lobby pun beda band, karena yg melakukan negosiasi bukan saya sehingga dia memutuskan melahirkan band baru.

nah, lahirlah Athazagoraphobia Effect, dengan line up: @AngelitaGio @Ang_gaTusan @mahardikaapp @junkisspoo_q @pkfydochi
karena posisinya gonta-ganti jadi gak usa di jelasin detail, langsung aja nonton ntar (kalo diundang lagi)

oh iya, here's come the pics, because no pic is hoax
Pic by : @andreaslapian

Oke lanjut ya, kita timejump ke klimaxxx,

menurut gw sendiri ini adalah klimaxxx yang bagus, karena apa?

Poky Foxy (@PokyFoxy) menjadi opening band dari 3 acara besar yg dirangkum dalam 1 event!

we ou we be ge te

berikut daftar acara dalam event tsb 

"BLACK MASS 13" (Monumen Kapal Selam)

"What About Tour 2013" Sweet As Revenge (@sweetasrevenge) & Divide (@DIVIDEjkt)
"Java Rock On Tour" Tomato Pumpkins (@TomatoPumpkins), Morbid (@MORBID_HMHC), Last Kiss From Avelin (@LKFAofficial), & ISYLLAKISS (@ISYLAKISSmusic)

Balik lagi, because no pic is hoax, gere goes the pic

pic by : @toniTNTF @DonieVj

Still the same night

"Qzoot" Sweet As Revenge X "Dochi" Poky Foxy

"Abong" Last Kiss From Avelin X "Dochi" Poky Foxy

"Olive" ISYLLAKISS X "Dochi" Poky Foxy

Tomato Pumpkins

It's an honour to share stage with ya'll guys!

Oke tadi itu sudah gulanya, sekarang racunnya ya

selang 1 minggu dari acara tsb, ada sebuah acara lagi yg menurut saya gagal banget lah
ini no offense lho, cuma share aja apa kurangnya panitia

pertama, microphone yg mati itu gak lebih asik daripada sound monitor yang mati, like what I said before, uncool bro!
bayangin lo teriak-teriak fan suara gak keluar, keluar terakhiran kirain sound monitor mati, eh mati beneran dan suara micnya kecil banget juga.
yah mungkin itu sepenggal kisah pait 2013 yg harus gak terulang

but at least we've got some (blurry) pic

https://twitter.com/pkfydochi/status/417112654004506624

the pic is too small to upload, just take a peek on my twitter



udah ya kelar acara paitnya butuh penyegaran, dan nyelonong ke backstage Indie cloth pun hal yg tak mustahil, sehingga bisa ketemu dan sharing dengan Billfold (@Billfoldx)

"Dochi" Poky Foxy X "Gania" Billfold

yah mungkin segitu dulu aja cerita highlightsnya, sebenernya masih mau sharing tapi entah kenapa banyak foto yg susah di upload

jus wait for next update, my own last project, doing some EMP music

"Band besar pun pasti pernah sepi saat diatas panggung, karena sebelum besar adalah kecil"

@pkfydochi



bye!

see ya!

Kisah di Balik "Date Night"

Halo adek-adek

mau ngejelasin nih lagu Date Night yang merupakan pengalaman yang ada dalam bayang-bayang mimpi

jadi lagu ini merupakan pencurahan, ciah pencurahan, pokoknya dalem dan sedikit nakal dah artinya.

pernah gak ngerasain gugup ketika mau ngedate lagi sama mantan? kaya mau balikan gitu.. nah lagu ini tentang itu (:


Date Night (21+)

I wear this shirt like you know when
can't believe it's date night all over again

gue make baju yang waktu itu pernah gue pake sebelumnya, gak nyangka sekarang bisa jalan bareng lagi

soaked my body with a nice bath foam
just in case tonight we get some

habis mandi dan sabunan biar badannya wangi,
siapa tau malem ini kita bercinta :p

do you know what keeps me waiting?
(i just can't resist your eyes)
do you know what keeps me wanting more
(your eyes, and your touch, and your perfect smile)

tau gak apa yang bikin gue nunggu-nunggu? gue gak pernah bisa tahan sama tatapan mata lo
tau gak apa yang bikin gue selalu minta lebih? tatap mata lo, sentuhan lo, dan senyum lo yang sempurna (aih #sedhap!)

i'm just a man and not a knight when there is nothing left to fight
i'm just a man and not a knight don't wanna sleep alone tonight

gue cuma cowok biasa dan gak gagah kalo gak ada lagi yang bisa diperjuangin
gue cuma cowok biasa dan gak gagah dan gak pengen tidur sendiri malem ini

watching cars go by sitting by the porch
wishing one of them was yours
and when you feel the room's too cold
just dim the lights and i'm all yours

ngeliatin mobil lewat di jalanan dan berharap lo turun dari salah satu mobil itu
dan kalo lo ngerasa ruangannya terlalu dingin, matiin aja lampunya dan gue milik lo sepenuhnya

one day dear you'll understand
it's not the sleep that keeps me dreaming
it's always you that keeps me dreaming

suatu hari lo bakal ngerti, bukan tidur yang bikin gue terus bermimpi, tapi elo

paham? makanya balikan yuk?

:p

hahahaha izzzok ae!

maaf lagunya terlalu dewasa ya hehe

gapapa lagi, kan uda pada gede, uda bisa kog denger lagunya

Oh iya, kenalan dulu yuk, ini namanya, Double Depresso
