Life's Never Boring Beibi!

This pair came from a variety-music program "Hyena on The Keyboard" which shows how musicians collaborate to make a song. Loco has been a Hwasa's fanboy since several times ago, so when he did the show, he's super cute timid yet mushy and stealing any chance to step up. And it's REALLY ADORABLE!

The series available in YouTube, just search "Hyena on The Keyboard episode 7 and 8" then it'll show. Watch and get smitten in love with these two!

"Like a hot air balloon in the sky!"

"Jangkar sudah terjatuh, aku sudah benar-benar luluh.."

Current muse: Kim Heechul in his variety show. >,<
He's simply entertaining. Will definitely write more about him. 
Anyway, does anyone think that Min Kyunghoon is a doppelganger of Kharis Junandharu (Silampukau)? The dimple & their voice too! =D

"Just stop your crying

Have the time of your life
Breaking through the atmosphere
And things are pretty good from here"
(Sign of The Times, Harry Styles)

"If you make the same mistakes
I will love you either way"
(Safe Inside, James Arthur)

"I swear that every word you sing

You wrote them for me

Like it was a private show

But I know you never saw me

When the lights come on and I'm on my own

Will you be there to sing it again

Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories"

(Can I be Him, James Arthur)

Lately, there are many singing competitions broadcast in the television. By the participants' song, I should agree to Ahmad Dhani that it could broaden the knowledge of Indonesian people to the taste of music. His choice for Dalagita in X Factor Indonesia, as the example, could show the legendary soundtrack from the film "Sound of Music".

It's been several day, where "Making Love Out of Nothing At All" (MLOoNAA) aired in our home again and again. Hehe. Not the old Air Supply original version, but Regina (Indonesian Idol 2012 winner) feat Judika. I don't know who the vocal director is, but s/he successfully turned the song into perfect duet song. Four thumbs up!

Personally, I always love songs with beautiful lyric. MLOoNAA [what an abbreviation, haha] captured me at the first time just by its words. Definitely lovely. 

I like to scrutinize the style of the lyric writing too. It boasts in the beginning, but suddenly give a paradoxical twist at the middle. It doubled the romantic & poetic effect. Just read the song leisurely, and hear the song for make it complete. =)

Songwriters: GORELICK, KENNY/AFANASIEFF, WALTER N

Aigoo.... Lack of post, instead of my real life have a lot of stories made me confuse how to start it. I've been to Jogja, been doing wedding preparation, been learning how to drive, been here and there, et cetera. After this, I promise will tell the stories properly, because I will have several times in my home before my marriage. =)

Anyway, now I'm in love with the duet of Coldplay and Rihanna: Princess of China. I love how Rihanna's make up done. Simple but big effects!

My favorite lines:

These are most repetitious song for me in this week. Drake video's so different than his before. Yoseob always lovely in every song. All of this song have the power on their lyrics. Enjoy!

"It’s my birthday, I get high if I want to
Can’t deny that I want you, but I lie if have to
Cause you don’t say you love me
To your friend when they ask you
Even though we both know that you do (you do)"

"What do you like about me? That's what I'm curious about
Since when did I live in your heart?
I'm curious too, I'm curious about your heart
Whether you really like me and not hate me?"

"If I have a boy friend, there'll be so many things I want to do
I've dreamt I have a boy friend like that
The first, kissing him in the street
The second, catching the early train for Chooncheon with him
The third, going on a picnic with him
The fourth, the piggy back ride
The fifth, couple-ring is basic to our love
Boo boo boo It'll be really sweet"

Today I'm playing with songs in my lappy. Doodling. And just in a glance I feel like wanting a list for the big day. Hehe. I don't know if the local wedding singer could sing all of these songs. This is just my love song list, if there is any reduction or addition, I don't mind. I also thinking about having traditional songs played in jazz version for the D-Day. That would be cool. =D

Anyway, it's personal matters why you could see New Amsterdam from Travis became a love song in the list, hehe. Mostly I choose them based on the lyrics. So, please don't bothered for attentively listen their words. Here they are:

1. Pour Que Tu M'aime Encore -- Celine Dion

As a favorite song this week, I choose "Change" by HyunA ft Junhyung.

At first, I knew this song because Shin Bong Sun's dance accompanied by B2ST in Star Dance. But then, when I tried finding the original version by HyunA, then I loved it more. The dance, its lyric, it matches with her sexy looks. And the dance could make you wake up easily when you practiced it. I did. =D

This is Bong Sun version

And this is the real HyunA! With the georgeous Junhyung of course.. =9

Instead of those generic things, It’s my own slogan
Instead of those similar ideas, It’s my own logo
What you want? (What you do), Tell me baby what you do
Don’t mind the others and step, step, swagger

(I can change) No matter how hard it may be
(You can change) No matter what others say
(We can change) The way I want
Pop, pop, pop my collar !
(Do it up) And don’t mind the others
(Take it on) Everyone to the sky
(Jumping up) Do it, do it, do it better!

Can't close my eyes tonight. 

And this song re-played over and over in my head. 

I don't have choice than sing it outloud. =(

Well sometimes I go out by myself 

and I look across the water
And I think of all the things, what you’re doing 

and in my head I make a picture

‘Cos since I’ve come on home, well my body’s been a mess
And I’ve missed your ginger hair 

and the way you like to dress
Won’t you come on over, stop making a fool out of me
Why won’t you come on over Valerie, Valerie?

I'm really addicted to these things lately:

1. Sedaris, Sedaris, and Sedaris. 

It's like found a treasure in corner of my room and in the local library (c2o). Oh yes, I should eat all of his 3 books soon! Munch munch munch!

2. Hello Baby - Shinee series

Yeah, I know it's been released a year ago in Korea, but I just know it from Poet and can't stop watching it everyday. Yoogeun-a... Shinee appa saranghae.... =* =*

3. Family Vintage Photos

Am trying to dig the memories in my family to participate in Scott Schuman's vintage photo project. It's quite late, but I saw no Asian vintage photo there. So I thought my young fashionisto father style or my mom's simple style will be great to be shared. Wish me luck! *crossed-finger*

4. Double B: Brown & Bieber!

Play, re-playing, re-playing this song again and again.....

...You had my child,
You make my life complete.
Just to have your eyes on little me,
That’d be mine forever...

One day when the sky is falling,
I’ll be standing right next to you,
Right next to you...

5. Still and always will be: Cheri!

Got social with his click, circle. Vice versa. It went smooth and I guess the smoothness erase my fear. Alhamdulillah yaa.. *SyahriniStyle* *wink-wink*

I love to share my point of view, my favorite things. And for this week, I have several things labeled "HOT". It means, it successfully fulfilled my days and my mind. No babble anymore Vinka, just show it up!

Malam kemarin menarik bagi saya. Iseng-iseng membuka aplikasi Notes di seluler dan menemukan sebait kata-kata yang saya tulis untuk kekasih di malam ia meminta saya menjadi pasangan. Lucunya, saya malah belum menunjukkan bait itu dan baru kemarin ia membacanya. 

Telat. Pasti. 

Tapi ya sudahlah. Beruntung atmosfer mendukung, jadi ya masih bisa lah. Hehe.

Gombal? Bisa dibilang.

Saya dibesarkan oleh orangtua yang luar biasa ekspresif untuk perihal cinta dan kasih sayang. Mulai buaian hingga belaian, tak ada yang disembunyikan. Semua terang-terangan.

Lha kok ya saya (Alhamdulillah) dapat pasangan yang ekspresif juga.

Dan secara tidak langsung, hal ini berpengaruh juga pada lagu yang saya gandrungi saat ini. Lagu yang terngiang-ngiang di kepala serta tak lepas dari gumaman adalah lagu Katy Perry yang Teenage Dream. Lagu ini tidak basa-basi, jujur, easy listening dan easy-remembered. Walhasil beberapa versi pun rajin saya nyanyikan. Mulai dari versi aslinya:

Versi Mike Tompkins yang sukses bikin nganga waktu pertama kali liat

Versi Boyce Avenue yang melankolis

Versi The Rescues yang super EMO(tional) =')

Pada dasarnya, saya menyukai lagu berdasarkan liriknya dulu, melodi mengikuti. Teenage Dream ini berhasil mencuri perhatian saya pada kekuatan lirik. Puitis karena kejujurannya. IMHO, denotasi kadang-kadang jadi daya tarik yang lebih, dibanding kalimat-kalimat bersayap yang seringkali kurang berisi. Biar temen-temen paham betul yang saya maksud, saya sisipkan pula versi dengan lirik. Hehe.

Musik latar bertema mimpi remaja ini memang cocok untuk mengiringi adegan hidup saya sekarang. Apalagi di saat pasangan mengirim pesan pendek seperti ini, beberapa malam lalu:

Aduh, saya mendadak meleleh dan cadel di detik itu juga.
