JOE IS DYING

Who doesn't know yael naim's "new soul" song for the mac book ad. she's a fantastic singer. a french girl, grew in israel. she has fantastic voice and she's very talented. listen to her "toxic" cover in youtube. Yeah, that's the one that Britney sang. I just received an e-mail from my ex-future-host mom. she withdraw her offer as a host family. i cant tell how i feel right now. i'm back to ground zero, ladies and gentleman. please pray for me. "Far far, there's this little girl she was praying for something to happen to her everyday she writes words and more words just to speak out the thoughts that keep floating inside and she's strong when the dreams come cos' they take her, cover her, they are all over the reality looks far now, but don't go how can you stay outside? there's a beautiful mess inside how can you stay outside? there's a beautiful mess inside oh oh oh oh " - Yael Naim "Far Far...

A band from Victoria, Canada, went so quick into my playlist of indie. i've heard their songs years ago and yet, for some reason, i didnt know the band. i mean, i dont know that it's them. it's Hot Hot Heat. Their latest album is out on 2007 titled "happiness LTD", yet i still think that their best was the "elevator" album in 2005 which has singles such as "Middle of Nowhere" and "Goodnight, Goodnight". Shame that i just found them last week. Yet i'm happy that i finally know the band that sang my favorite music when i was a mere freshman. Anyway, updates from my simple life; 1. My grandma is hospitalized since two weeks ago. The doctor said that she could 'go' whenever she gave up. My mom, who had lost his father years ago, knew exactly what to do. We're preparing for a funeral. But we're not giving up on her. We still pray for health, but we also pray for peace of mind. 2. I just got two e-mails from my future ho...

Another band that is on my constant playlist in youtube ; The Wombats . These brit lads really know how to do fun, upbeat music. According to a band member, Murph, " The idea of the band wa to be stupid. we were just idiots". Well, i like idiots with great sense of music. Their latest song; Let's Dance To Joy Division, is the best! Their "Kill The Director" is on in Prambors FM, a lovely radio station in Indonesia that played the most fabulous music from both major and indie scene from all around the world. Anyway, more from my life... I just got e-mails from my soon to be host mom. her house is 50 minutes away from Cornish, and my dad was like "whhhat..." and i was like "no prob, i can manage that." But dad told me that such a place is so far from college, i could have exhaust myself. He told me to sign up in the Abode organization for a place in Seattle, somewhere near Cornish. Besides, she doesn't have a room for me till august (which ...

Well, Lily Allen said that i'm "naive" (The Kooks do-over song) last night. But what she doesn't know is that, true or false it may be, i got hopes and i hold on to it. Remember what i always said or write every time something bad or something heart-quenching is happening, "i believe that God has my best interest at hand" and "i'll just wait and worship him". Abraham did what i wrote for more than 40 years in waiting for his promised son, while i did that for a few month and almost breakdown. Thank the Lord He heard my prayers about making all this housing, visa, financial statement thing an early birthday present. because a lot had happened this past two weeks. like, A LOT! one; on Monday, my grandfather became my sponsor for my study in the US (and thus enabling the financial statement to be sent and i-20 is at hand), two; on Wednesday the coming week, i advertise myself for a housing in downtown seattle, three; from Thursday till Friday, peo...

The Locksley is my newest, most favorite band! Gosh, they took me on to the dance floor way better than artic monkeys! i've heard them on imeem and on myspace, my faves are; 'dont make me wait', 'she does' and 'why not me'. their lyrics are so funny, cracked me up several times. and their beat is really really fun to dance with; awesome-awesome! The Locksley is a Madison born band (yeah, American! They do sound very brit, though) and then relocated to Brooklyn. They've toured the UK and Japan, and have worked with lots of musicians. One of them is The Hives. Their album is called "dont make me wait". well, you know i dont describe music so much, unless you listen to em too, then we can ramble all the time about it and sing along to those songs i recently love. check them out at www.bandofflocksley.com or www.myspace.com/locksley or hear them out here through imeem. quick flash news from my life, mr. kantongkresek is moving from indo in days...

Patrick Dempsey is the star of my afternoon with Dedep, Dita and Marsha. We went to Senayan City to have a little chat about the old-high school life. we actually wanted a lot of people to come, with all the singapoh students are having their summer break, but most of them cant make it. sad. like, Arsella who went jalan-jalan with her mom, Lilo who cant make it and Anime who wanted to go if Lusi is coming. Anyway, we spent the afternoon watching (five minutes late) the Made of Honor, patrick dempsey's newest chick flick. The movie is utterly sweet and funny (we laugh a lot!). The sound track of the movie is lovable too! There's Sara Barellies's "Love Song", Henrietta, and a lot more other soundtracks that have made our Binus History. Marsha and I was kind of in reminisence when we heard Henrietta (Ames, we miss you!) and we sing along to the song while watching the movie. lucky us, no one "sshhh" us up, or we'd go "this aint yo' cinema! we c...

Have you heard about it yet? the movie is coming out in December 2008. excited or what? for those who haven't heard of Twilight (and what a poor soul you are!), the book is about a girl (Bella by Kristen Stewart), who falls in love with a vamp (Edward Cullen by Robert Pattison. You know, Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter). Their love journey, vamp adventures and the Cullens Clan history is all beautifully written by Stephenie Meyer in three books (and counting, i hope); Twilinght, New Moon and the latest, Eclipse. The picture above is the Cullen Clan (the vampires that don't drink human blood). Personally i think Emmet (the one on the right) is the hottest, Alice is lovable (petite, dark hair girl). I'm waiting to see who is the Jacob Black (Bella's werewolf best friend), he's better be hot. that's like the only way to tolerate his arrogance. The picture below is Edward and Bella. Personally, yet again, i dont like this Edward guy. He's too model-sexy, if yo...

Say goodbye to YSL's powerful strong sense of fashion. His amazing coats (all those whites and blacks for both summer and winter), his elegant dresses, his Le Cigarettes suits for women. Sometimes i forgot that YSL is a man (i tend to refer "him" as a "she") not because she's a trans-gender. oh gosh, no! but because she (see, there i goes. he) could see what every woman needs, what every woman can looked good in. He actually knows what a woman wants! He has fab ideas of how a dress would look, and how it would shines a woman's character out. He and His amazing talent in now history. But his name would never be forgotten, his works would always remain a must-have in all fashion divas out there. Dear Mr YSL, thanks for making fashion a much better place.

Dalam dunia ini kita kenal banyak rangkaian kelompok yang memiliki tiga anggota, atau tiga cabang, atau kerennya, tiga eksistensi. seperti dalam kekristenan, kita mengenal Allah tri tunggal. Tiga dalam satu, Satu dalam tiga; Allah Bapa, Putra dan Roh Kudus. Dalam musik kita juga kenal satu band berkumpul dalam sebuah nama, yang terdiri dari tiga elemen bumi; Earth, Wind and Fire. Dalam dunia literatur kita juga mengenal istilah khas untuk buku berseri tiga; Trilogy. Sesuai perkaaan seorang guru drama saya, di dunia witchcraft juga ada yang tri-tunggal, tapi saya tidak akan membahas masalah tersebut. Dalam beberapa minggu terakhir ini saya juga menemukan banyak "series of threes" (or more)yang secara tidak sengaja memaparkan bentuknya terhadap saya yang terkadang buta lingkungan. Kira-Kira minggu lalu, saya bingung melihat peningkatan jumlah entertainer binatang di daerah jakarta selatan, terutama fatmawati-terogong. Saat macet-macet mencoba memasukan mobil keantara himpitan ...
