What I'm against

This is maybe weird and defying gravity for some out there, but I clearly write that there won't be any upcoming pre wedding photoshoot. As much as I love photography, but I think I still keeping my feet on the ground, considering the fantastic price list from several known photographers in Indonesia. So someday, when we get married, you guests won't be seeing any pre wedding shots. Well, my boyfriend has this one idea, one photo that probably would be the only photo we have that goes in term "pre wedding" but I'm still not sure yet. Cos the photo takes a lot of guts & bravery from both sides. And also from the photographer's side My friend who happened to found out our idea was like, you guys r insane. Shit happens dude. That's all his saying. We just nodded. Spending hefty million bucks for bunch of romantic and full of happiness photos? I move it to the "non-sense" file without a doubt. Cos what we are about facing next is much worse ...

Body & Soul

This is the last, the final music video performed by Amy Winehouse.  She said in one of interview that one of the most frightening thing to her are if people don't know her contribution to music, dying old, and never meeting Tony Bennett.  Well her wishes were granted.  So the first time I saw this video was at VMA. Ain't it weird that MTV giving Amy a tribute? I mean, they barely played her music while she's alive. And why Bruno Mars? He did the best he could and I'm so glad that he sang Valerie, not Amy's original song. Cos I think no one can sing Amy's song but herself. You can feel it yeah. A snippet of Body & Soul was making me cry all of sudden. Seeing Amy sang with her idol, can you believe it? She sings perfectly with Tony. Even Tony called her special. Too bad she couldn't see all of these.. :( Many of you might be wonder why, after more than two months I still talked about her. She's a gem in digital era of music nowadays. She writes, sh...

True Blue

I hardly updated my blog cos I feel nothing but sad, grieve, and devastated. I didn't want my blog contaminated with such feeling. Off a good start, I had a fab time last holiday, I went to Bali with my family. My mom included to be exact. We had small talk. Well at least we talked. A bit. The fact that my mom is my biggest enemy is hitting me hard. how could this thing ever occurred to me? I'm the one who always with her, defended her, went on holiday with her, shared our stories. It's like she slapped my face many times. Literally. And then again, at least we talked. I might forgive her.. As well as she forgive me, but I'm sure both of us won't forget what happened that day for many many years. Anyway, Bali was sweeter when my boyfriend surprisedly came. On the 4th day. I was so happy cos we could spend our holiday together. We explored Bali with his style, by motorcycle. It's fun yeah, I've never been go out in motorcycle in Bali, like ever. So as u...

A tribute

A nice tribute... http://www.luminomagazine.com/mw/content/view/3252/4/ Amy Winehouse: A Tribute Written by PATRICK MAY Wednesday, 14 September 2011 Where does one start when talking about Amy Winehouse? It makes sense to start off addressing the tragedy that was her life, the international fame and relationship problems that led her down a dangerous and ultimately fatal path. Amy wasn’t made to be a star, she was made to love and to be a musician. It’s important to first acknowledge her troubles, if only to get them out of the way. They have nothing to do with Amy and her musical legacy. As a lover of soul music, I am often unimpressed by the majority of throwback soul records that come out every year, attempting to recapture “real” music but coming off as cheap imitations. I’m talking to you Joss Stone, Duffy and even you, Adele. None of these women even remotely touches the level of genius that Amy possessed. On her first album, Frank, she showed us she could sing and writ...
