There is nothing Holy about hatred.

courtesy: Lady Gaga official twitter


I've never really been a fan of Lady Gaga but I watched her couple years ago at Singapore. My friends and I were enjoyed it a lot. The concert was more like a mini concert (at Fort Canning Park). The audiences were decent and we're all dance and sing the night away. There was absolutely nothing wrong with it. She even didn't do a lipsynch (which is rare nowadays). As far as I might concern, NO endanger moves, or suspicious symbolic that leads her to be Lucifer's wife or something like that? No sex party after the concert (not that I knew of).
It was absolutely normal, just like another concert..
 
You've probably heard about the cancellation of Born This Way concert that suppose to be held this Sunday at Jakarta. As the news itself has been online and aired worldwide. Once again, our lovely country put to shame by the narrow minded people and bigotry that stand behind the face of Islam.
I feel so sorry for them, all of them. Big Daddy as promoter, Lady Gaga & management, and also the fans. Fans who have been waiting for years to see their idol live. Who did almost anything to watch Gaga, from practicing flash mob dance to prepare the costumes. Known as eccentric singer, no wonder her fans just as eccentric.

There were several "discussions" in local TV whether this issue. Oh trust me, it's beyond ridiculous. How they stated Lady Gaga as "the messenger of evil", pornographic, and would definitely bring harm for those who watch her. Hello... for three fucking hours? She just  SING. S I N G and dance. On more ironic side, is there any single person on earth who "turned on" by watching Gaga's concert? And later rape her friends, or turn themselves into so called "evil"? All the chargers that pointed out at Gaga were absolutely horrifying and don't make any sense! Yes she wears provocative costumes, stupendous heels and props but that's it. I strongly believe it is mere an expression of art! No more, no less. Even she fights for equality, she concerns in bullying, and have donated to various foundations (she also owns one CMIIW)
 
Worst is, I saw several people on TV news brought posters that written, "if you still come here, GBK will be sea of fire" or "you won't go out alive" or "go to hell" etc etc. 

WTF?!
Them (you know who you are), who hid behind one religion wall, may you find the true peace. Go find a nice job, feed your wife and children, or go home to your mom. Why don't spend the rest of your life by helping others instead of bashing others freedom of expression? Or maybe, just maybe, you can go and fuck yourself.
Who am I to judge who's wrong or right, but as Indonesian I also feel humiliated. It's sickening.. This case will likely put Indonesia on black list of major concerts. Who knows US or UK or other countries give their citizens a "travel warning" to Indonesia? 
As for little monsters, I'm sure this was the best decision. Your idol's safety is #1 priority. Just.... Hang in there and put your paws up!



And what do we get from hatred? 
nothing but a sea of fire in your heart.

PAIN. EXCRUCIATING PAIN. A PAIN THAT IMPOSSIBLE TO CURE My heart so tattered that there's nothing more to be torn. He died a sudden death. I won't go into details, at least not now. Our 20 years journey ended abrubtly. there goes our future hopes and dreams. __________________ I begin to questioning the existence of God. We've lead a good life. w...

our day has come

I choose you for life. I promise you my deepest love, my fullest devotion, my tenderest care through the pressures of the present and the uncertainties of the future. I promise to be faithful to you  I promise to love you, to commit to you, and support you. I pledge to respect your unique talents and abilities,  to lend you strength for all of your dreams. You have shown me what love feels like and for that I thank you. You are everything I need and at this moment I know all of my prayers have been answered and that all of my dreams have come true. I praise God for you, for all your love and constant friendship. I know that our love is heaven sent  and I promise to be here for ever and always. From this day forward, you shall not walk alone. My heart will be your shelter and my arms will be your home. As I have given you my hand to hold, I give you my life to keep.  Intan Juliana 17112012

still..

current mood : still upset Every children biggest dream would always be make their parents proud. Including me. But how? Many whispers came to my ear that said, "Go ahead and find your place at your Dad's Co.", "Why wasting more time with useless job?", "Don't ever try to work in a -desperately-needing-investment Bank!", and blah and blah and blah. Dude I really wanna show my Dad that I can earn myself money. Now my new car is on its way to my garage doesn't mean I'm fully happy. I mean, I feel very grateful with my Dad's present, but I realize that it will burden me. How long until I can earn my own money? Let's rewind to two years ago, when my friends busy to get a part-time job. This "part-time job" means SPG (Sales Promotion Girl), or Bridesmaid (at someone else's wedding), or Wedding Organizer's crew. That's all we can do for our status as a under-graduate student. Nothing else more and nothing else better...
