Im backkkk

I guess I'm charged guilty for not blogging for a month or maybe its been more than a months. Will you forgive me? I've got no excuses left, so I might as well just admit that I had no passion to write or share anything whatsoever this past month. I've been getting so so so many emails from my friends in Indonesia, which is really, very sweet. Emails of encouragement and support, some only said hi, and some ask a bunch of silly questions, not forgetting that they all kept on asking me “when I'm going back to Indo”. All I can say to you guys is I surely missed you all a loads but for now I just wanted to say thank you all for still having me in your thoughts, but too bad this year is still not the year that I will go back yet to Indo....:( I know, i know that I’ve been telling most of the people that I will be back this year… but plan had changed .. ehmm as prolly most of you already know, I still have to pursue my bachelor degree in here. .. Moreover, I found someone that I love too here (isn't it great...:) )… I thought that maybe I would find my future career in here too… who knows right…? eventhough the opportunity is small to have a job here for me cause i have no working permit, green card, etc... but I'll never know,especially I know that God already made a plan on what I have to do in the future...So I guess since I’d given this opportunity to pursue my ed here, why wouldn't I try to do it?I will do the best I could so that I could accomplished it n have a better future.

Anyway, I wouldnt talk a loadsss about myself.... but two weeks ago, I had this heart-to-heart conversation with my classmate.

Well, actually she told me some stuff, so I wouldn't considered it as a heart to heart converstaion,,, or maybe it is.. well whatever! After all, what I did was listening to her conversation.

Anyway, she liked this guy in her office. A few years older than her and way more accomplished : middle level associate position, very classy attitude. According to her, he's the kind of guy you'd love to bring home to your family, the kind you wanna settle down with. For this story's purpose, let's call him Mr. Scoobydoo bydoo.

Her crush on him was so huge, it's practically all she talked about. I go out with her for lunch almost every day after the class that we took together and there's always a moment that we talk about him.

Until today, that is.

I asked her casually how he's doing and she said whatever. So of course I know something's up. She then proceeded to tell me that she doesn't like him anymore and she finds him annoyingly dull. How so, right? That girl have told me in details how she wanted their honeymoon to be. I mean, girlie, what happen to making babies on a fancy yacht in the Southern France? Too much info, by the way.

She stated that Mr. Scooby doo bydoo is too much work. He's very self absorbed because he knows that he's in demand. He acts like guys in The Bachelor. He's not down to earth at all, too fancy, and she just saw him asking the blackberry pin of another intern in their office who also hangs out with her from time to time.

Ahhhh, so that's the problem.

I gotta admit I used to do that back in my young age if i like a guy (doesnt mean that im old now.. but I always think that im not young anymore, especially that im over the 20th of age). I like a guy, a lot of my days spent obsessing over him and what he likes, being a real girly girl who always wants to look pretty in front of him and as soon as I find him giving attention to another girl, I stop liking him. Hell, I might dislike him instantly just like that. In a snap. Boom, you're ugly, I hate you.

In a way, it's so high school. Him talking to another girl and asking for her number or blackberry pin or whatever does not always mean he's hitting on her, right? I can see how it may look like it but any single person can mingle with anyone he or she wants.

So why do we do this? Is it just because it's easier to cross their names off our list rather than accepting the fact that they're more interested in other people? I've been in that situation and it's a pretty unpleasant feeling to not have our crush seem to be interested in getting to know us more. After all, asking for someone's contact details mean they want to keep in touch, right?

I don't know, maybe I'm over analyzing. But I KNOW WHERE SHE'S COMING FROM. Call me shallow but I'm also THAT girl who stopped liking a guy and wanted him out of my face if he didn't look like he would chase me back.

hioohohoohoho...

But anyway good knowing that i have boyfriend now.. so this kind of situation wouldnt happen to me no more... woot wootz..!

I f you love your mother, watch the Mamma Mia Show

Hey guys, I wanted to share my experience and tell you a little bit about my first experience in Broadway Show of Mamma Mia, it was pretty AWE to the SOME.... HOHOHO... anyway, if you haven't watch the show, you better asked your family, friends, neighbors, etc to come and join you ASAP... I guaranteed you will not regret after watching this show.

Mamma Mia is a one of the best musical performance in Broadway and also originated from one of the famous music group called ABBA. Yes, if you are fans of the band, ABBA, you definitely need to watch this show. This show consists of twenty songs and from the beginning until the end of the show, I can never take my eyes off of the performance because the show was just simply amazing, fun and entertaining. The audiences, including myself, get to sing along and even dance when the song played.

Mamma Mia's two leading characters are Alyse Alan Louis as Sophie Sheridan and Beth Leavel as Donna Sheridan, Sophie's mother. The set was simply amazing and cleverly done which made it easier for me to tell where they were because every scene has different settings. I also love the end of the show, the setting was managed beautifully and it showed a romantic view which allows me to feel the romance in the air. Anthony Van laast, the choreographer made the casts did their performances and their choreography amazingly and they seemed to enjoy it because they are having a good time performing. The seats in the theater were packed and they were eager to watch the show. Moreover, the wonderful parts for the audience were when the cast performed some of the ABBA song.

The show grabbed my attention from the very beginning. It took place in Greece. It started with Sophie singing the song “I Have a Dream” hoping that she would know who her father was so that he could walk her down on the aisle on her wedding day. She has gotten some information of three possible men that could be her father from reading her mother’s old diary. She sends them letters, hoping that they would all come. A problem started to occur on the day her three possible fathers arrived, Patrick Bolt (Bill Austin), John Dosset (Sam Carmichael) and David A, Macdonald (Harry bright). First, Dana was surprised to see her ex lover and sang “Mamma Mia”, which saddened her and she proceeds to her room. Sophie was also confused because she couldn’t find out who her real father was after she has spoken to each of them and they all had convinced her. So Sophie told her fiancé Sky (Corey Greenan), but he accused her of wanting the wedding just to find out who her real father was. He was upset that Sophie didn’t tell him at the beginning, he went just as Sam approached Sophie and gave her some fatherly advice but she wouldn’t want to listen. When it was time for the wedding, Sophie asked her mom to help her prepared with everything. It was just an emotional moment because the song that her mom sang to her makes her sad and it was related to their situation. The song is about a parent who will lose the children to someone else to take the responsible. That moment brought tears to my eyes, because I felt the emotion that was shown on the show. The situation by hearing Dana sang made me wondered, since I’m the only child, I questioned myself, “what would happen to my parents if I’m getting married someday?” When the wedding begin, before the priest said anything Dana told everyone on the aisle that Sophie’s father was there, although she wasn’t sure who it really was but Sophie doesn’t care because she love three of them and make them all as her father. At the end Sophie announced that she is not going to get marriage and Sky agreed with her because they wanted to continue their life. Since there are no wedding going on, Sam proposed Dana and she agreed on it, so the one that finally gets married are Sam and Dana. I was so surprised seeing how the end goes, but then again I was happy because I thought Sophie’s father will remain untold, but it seems that it is happy ending after all for Sophie’s mom and her husband.

At the end of the show after all the cast members bow and greet the audience, the casts perform a couple more songs that makes the audience sing along and dance too. The show was just so entertaining; there are laughter and even tears too at some time. Every song fits into the story perfectly and it reminds me some of the songs that can be related to my life. Sometime when we are in love, we have our own songs which describe how our heart feels and how our situation is and looking at the show just makes it more believable.

In conclusion, watching the first musical show in Broadway makes me want to go to another Broadway show again someday and see how the differences would be. I would recommend the Mamma Mia show because it was just so entertaining and it had a lot of humor going on. It’s good for people who are too stressed out at work or at school because watching this will be the medicine for every stressed that occurred, this show is also for people in the old age, so that they can feel young again. Remember, the Mamma Mia Broadway show must not be missed!

Things that men dont know about women

I went with one of my classmate to DD BBq last weekend, she brought a magazine, so i started reading it while waiting for the food to come...it was a man magazine; titled "10 Things Men Don't Know About Women". It is a monthly magazine and this article is written by random female celebrities each month. It's a funny article, and also very informative for men because these celebrities really wrote some of our dirtiest secrets we keep from guys. So, I thought it's a great idea to write my version of the article on my blog (much better than posting the same thing over and over again, getting bored of it!).

If you're a girl, I'd be very interested to read your version of this one, post it on your blog! If you're a guy, write 10 things we don't know about you. I'd absolutely love to know.

PS: NOT FOR PEOPLE BELOW THE AGE OF 18... HOHOHOHOHO

- We want you to still say we look beautiful even if we're covered in mud.
- We love it when you hold our hand in public.
- Of course, we think about you all the time. Even when we're extremely upset with you, we still expect you to call.
- We love it when you make us laugh, but knowing that WE CAN MAKE YOU LAUGH is the best feeling in the world.
- If Make fun of our clothes........prepare to die.
- We are planners. We plan things. But try to surprise us.
- Sorry, but we might leave you for Johnny Depp...NOTzz
- We remember everything, so minimize the possibility of doing anything stupid.
- Anything you say or do with another girl that you don't want us to know about is considered cheating.
- When we cry, don't ask us to stop. Hug us and let us cry all over your shoulder.
- Stop acting so smart, ask for our advice. Trust us.
- we hate it when you think that we don't listen to you when you said something, we did, its just we wanted to make sure about what you said.


So, there it is. My things I wish guys knew about girls. I'd love it if you made your version, but if you're too lazy, add one or two opinions of yours by commenting. This is so fun! Ciao!

-CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA-

Okay,,, I always have been a fan of CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA... I am one of his fan since high school (well not that kind of fans that are willing to sacrifice anything just to see him... I'm just a regular fan)... especially by his song "The way you look at me" because this song was booming in Indonesia back then...and yeah.. I love it. =)
Maybe most of you don't know who he is... well let me tell you a bit about him... =)

So his real name is Christian Joseph Morata Bautista, he was born in October 19, 1981, more popularly known by his screen name Christian Bautista. He is a Filipino singer, actor and model. He was a finalist of Star In A Million, a Philippine reality show aired on ABS-CBN channel, it was in 2003 and he was the 4th place winner in the competition. After the contest, he signed a recording contract with Warner Music Philippines and released his self-titled debut album, Christian Bautista. The multi-platinum album established his name as an OPM artist with songs such as "The Way You Look At Me", "Invincible" and "Hands To Heaven" topping the charts. The singer gained popularity not only in the Philippines but in other countries in Southeast Asia such as Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand.

Anyway,, its been long time haven't heard his song.. but then today... i just found out that he was contracted with one of the Warner Music Indonesia... and the one that amazed me most is... He doesn't used tagalog or English for the song... but Indonesian... YAY (big applause, because I know its not easy to speak Indonesian, but he is trying though.. and all I can do is two thumbs up for him). Although most of his songs are old song that's been translated to Indonesian language...but it turned out GOOD to the max

So yeah this is the song that I listened today... check out the website:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTWzSn79I3M
He sang this song with one of the Indonesian Artis Bunga Citra Lestari..
The title is "Tetaplah Dihatiku"

The Indonesian LYRIC:
Kekasihku sayangku ku ingin kau tahu
hati ini kan selalu menantikan cintamu

Kaulah yang pertama yang memberi arti cinta
tuk selamanya tetap di hatiku
ingin memelukmu mendekap hangat cintamu
tuk selamanya tetaplah di hatiku

Ku beri semua tempatmu dengan kesungguhanku
tak akan ku berbagi meskipun engkau jauh
ku kan selalu merindukanmu
ku kan tetap selalu menjagamu

jangan ada kata berpisah
Pegang erat janjiku yakinkan di hatimu
tak akan ku berpaling hanya kau satu di hatiku
ku akan selalu di sampingmu
tak ku biarkan kau jauh

tuk selamanya ku tetap di hatimu
Kaulah yang pertama (dan selamanya)
yang memberi arti cinta (untuk dirimu)
tuk selamanya tetap di hatiku

ingin memelukmu mendekap hangat cintamu
tuk selamanya (tuk selamanya)
tuk selamanya (tuk selamanya)
tuk selamanya (tuk selamanya)
tetaplah di hatiku (tetaplah di hatiku)
tuk selamanya ku tetap di hatimu
.........................................
The Original LYRIC
If you love me, like you tell me
Please be careful with my heart
You can take it, just don't break it
Or my world will fall apart.

You are my first romance, and I'm willing to take a chance
That till life is through, I'll still be loving you
I will be true to you, just a promise from you will do
From the very start, please be careful with my heart.

I love you and you know I do
There'll be no one else for me
Promise I'll be always true, for the world and all to see
Love has heard some lies softly spoken
And I have had my heart badly broken
I've been burned and I've been hurt before.

So I know just how you feel (how I feel), trust my love is real for you (I hope that your love is real)
I'll be gentle with your heart, I'll caress it like the morning dew (I'll caress it like the morning dew)
I'll be right beside you forever (right beside you forever)
I won't let our world fall apart (let our world fall apart)
From the very start, I'll be careful with your heart.

You are my first (and you are my last) romance
And I'm willing to take a chance (I've learned from the past)
That till life is through, I'll still be loving you
I will be true to you (I will be true)
Just a promise from you will do (only to you)
From the very start (from the very start)
From the very start (from the very start)
From the very start
Please be careful with... (I'll be careful with...)
(Your) (my) heart...

so this song is not a new song... the original one was sang by one of the Philipino singer too in the 80's... Mary Jose Chan.... and yea, I think Christian is a big fan of Mari Jose Chan or maybe they are related somehow (dont know for sho)... cause all I can observed from him is that most of his songs are inspired by him.

Anyway this are some link to hear his songs:
Link: The way You look at me
Link: Beautiful Girl
Link: Since I found you
Link: For Hands to Heaven
There are still more though. But yeah this is the one that I listened most of the time... SO ENJOY.... =)

New Media

What is NEW MEDIA???
I know its hard to answer various kind of question that are asked to us, but if someone really asked about it... Just answer them, that New Media are Facebook, Youtube, Wikis and Blogs... Surely they will understand.
If you want to make sure what the real meaning of the New Media itself, there are various articles that u can checked.... =)

Here is the links:
http://newmedia.engl.iastate.edu/about/what_is_new_media
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_media

does the link above help you guys on defining the definition... ?

We all know that New Media somehow makes our lives easier but we should also not forget the risk that are related to it.

Female and Male

There is a story that I would like to share when I was in my English Literature class. I found it's true when my professor was talking about the difference in female and male.
The difference is when a female looks at her reflection in the mirror, she sees defect and flaw, "awww i gained pounds, i got a little blemish, i got dark circles." no matter how goodlooking she is. when a male looks at his relection, he sees bradpitt or Matt Damon, "damn i look good." no matter how not very attractive he is.

well, its not always true but it sure does happen.

Life

Life is a word that has so many meaning depends on our point of view. Life can be meant as someone's journey from his/her births until his/her dead. Life also can be meant as the process of our development in anything, from zero to hero maybe or some another kind of that. But, whatever the meaning was, is not a big deal because everyone has their own life and its their desicion on how to make their life beautiful or historical. Generally life is something that we can use when we are still living in this universe and everyone has it and they also have their own path in their life. There is no one that has the same path and it always different because we have our own destiny and fate. We can change our destiny or fate except our death. That’s all depends on how we can manage through our life as good as we can and how we can see the positives side and throwing away the negative side of each tragedy or anything that we've been through so far. We can made a history or beautiful of our life if we always learn from our experiences and our fault, because all we know that our experience is the best teacher for our self or maybe some other one.

We will get benefits if our life today is better than yesterday, we will lose out if our life today is the same as yesterday, and we will get bad luck if our life today is worse than yesterday. Pray as well as you can, as though as you will die tomorrow; and work hard as well as you can, as though as you will live forever in this world. Did you agree with that?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuing from the previous definition about LIFE now is the real question of LIFE.....


It’s been a while I want to write about this, a question that I find and the answers from what I have been questioned. One of the questions is "why I was born and lived until now?" It was a pretty big question for me so far. However, I've found a satisfactory answer for me personally.

Why was I born? Basically, all humans are born with one main goal, which is to worship God Almighty. Is it just that? No, but I was also born to give / add happiness to the people there are around me, especially my parents. Because all we know how couples who do not have the child feel. They are confused, anxious, and tried a variety of ways to be able to have a child.
Many people who complain, "Why was I born if it had to end up like this?" Actually, the destiny that was no reason to complain, regrets, or evens the end of life as some people out there. Bad luck or suffering is a problem. And the problem itself must be solved, rather than run away or escape from problems that occur. Life without problems seemed boring like vegetables without salt. Because of our problems can be matured, changing the way we think, or even change the way when we decide something.


Let’s go back again to the further question in the first paragraph, "why do I still live today?" Because this very valuable opportunity. Opportunity to worship, repent, learns, and a chance to reward those who have helped me a lot to live this life even though that person is not disinterested in what they have given to me. I do not know how long this opportunity will continue to be given to me, but the most important thing for me is to go through all this with its best until the opportunity has given me expired.
