Lovely Living Fairytale



Been a long time didn't wrote anything in my blog. It's not that I'm too busy, but I admit it my laziness become more acute. And yes, have lot of things to do, many great things happened to me, but now I'm still struggling in final examination. 
Go back to the topic, new video, new lesson as well hehe. The video above is about Got to Dance competition in UK, cute ballet duo by Tayluer and Elliot was a breath taking. Tayluer Amos 8 years old and his partner Elliot Hana 10 years old shows that number means nothing. The maturity and power of their movement stole my attention. Their coreographer, Nazene Langfield teaches Tayluer and Elliot at her dance school in Old Swan. Those lovely young children have a big passion who simply love to dance.  


The connection between them makes their movement seems so beautiful. The accuracy, balance, power, and self-confidence makes them a really good story teller. And how that little man could catch Elliot's weight in a second and seems effortless. Actually, I'm not a dancer and expert of it, but I received the story of their dance. Even though they're not the winner, but they won everyone's heart, include me :p



What a lovely living fairytale.. I dont know what the secret but the relationship between them seems like a true story. They're born to dance..

Silent Love


This is the most tearful advertisement that I've ever seen. Did you ever watched an advertisement that makes you cry? If no, maybe this is the first time. Cause it was the first time for me cried badly when the Thailand advertisement played by my lecturer. Basicly, they want to advertise Thailand insurance for the local people there. But it become popular because the content of the story is very touchful. This is the drama family conflict between dad who have a speech defect and her teenage daughter. Her daughter has been bullied at school cause the condition of her dad and she has a problem with her stupid boyfriend as well. Meanwhile, her dad is really love and care about her. Every single thing he did is dedicated to her daughter, I mean he still want to dropped her daughter to school with that condition, try to picturing nice words to her and love her deeply. The stupidity of teenager sometimes isn't realize that parents is more more and more important than anything in this world. The silent love from her father is really big, but she has been blind with lied spoken love story from her boyfriend. Then when she tried to suicide, her father took her to the hospital and rendered his blood to her daughter. Finally, her daughter realized that love from his father is way too big to be betrayed. This insurance smart enough potraying the needs of us to insurance ourself and people that we love. From the last tagline "Guard those who care about you", chorincally with the story above.
Thanks for reading this & watched the video people, hope it'll give you an inspiration :)

The happiest Guy on earth :)


Hi guys, been several days didn't write anything on my blog cause feel so lazy not busy hehe. I wanna share another story from the guy that inspired me today. My aunt gimme this video, actually I already seen it a couple years ago but I forgot it and when she showed me this video this afternoon, it was tears me up. An Australian guy called Nicholas James Vujicic or well known as Nick Vujicic was born on 4 December 1982. Henwas born with the disability called Tetaamelia Syndrome or a rare disorder characterized by the absence of all four limbs. Did you ever heard the quotes about "Kekuranganmu bisa menjadi kelebihanmu" or "Your disability could be your ability". I was, one of the person who underestimate this quote. But hey, when this happy guy played his role as an motivational speaker, his words slapped me on the face but touch my heart at the very same time. With his disability, he struggled mentally, emotionally and physically but he said in his video with the real example of how he fell down and find a strenght to get back up ;"Sometimes in life we fall down and feel like doesn't have a strenght to get back up. But do you think if I down here I can get up cause I've no arms no legs. It should be impossible for me to get back up, but I will try 100 times to get back up, and if I failed 100 times, if I fail and I give up, do you think that I'm gonna get up? NO! If I failed I try again and again and again and I just want you to know that this is not the end! It matters how you're going to finish." It was the part which extremely touch my heart and tears me up. And also the clapping hands and tears from his audiences in that video was completely prove me that he touch people's heart by his experiences. He presented motivational speeches, hope, and about finding the meaning of life. Vujicic had been bullied at school, he grew depressed and when he was eight thinking about suicide. At the age of ten he drown himself but did't go through with it out of love for his parents. He always praying to grew his arms and legs but it never come true until someday his mom showed him a newspaper article about a man dealing with a severe disability. Vujicic eventually realized that his accomplishments could inspire others and become grateful. He began to practice the daily tasks of his life such as write using with his two toes on his left, learned to use computer, learned to throw a tennis ball, play drum pedals, get himself a glass of water, comb his hair, brush his teeth, answer the phone and shave. In grade seven he was elected captain of his school and work with the student council on fund raising events for local charities and disability campaigns. When he was seventeen, he started to give talks at his prayer group and eventually started his non-provit organization, Life Without Limbs. In 2005, Vujicic was nominated for the "Young Australian of the Year" award. And on 12 February 2012, he married his fiancee Kanae Miyahara.. Whatta happy ending T,T








I LOVEEEEE HAPPY ENDING!! WISH WE CAN MEET UP NICK&KANAE. FAIRYTALE SHOULD ADD MORE STORY LIKE THIS :''''') KANAE IS A REAL PRINCESS, FOR SURE..

Some of the information is from wikipedia and video from youtube. Are you happy now? me.. YES :)

Irritating women models in advertisement


Back again writing my blog, I'm too boring waiting the doctor at 6 while I already arrived at mom's office at 4. I want to share the other interesting information, my lecturer raise this issues on my Introduction to Advertising class. It was a long interesting video about how media potrayed a women. Me as an upcoming women feel so bad about this, it's honestly the real irritating and so bad. Based on my pictures above, I choosed not-to-contrversial ads, there's a lot.. A LOT if you opened the advertisement.. a LOT of advertisement used women as a model and I don't know why they made them as a sex sales, I mean they were like a thing that will increases the sale but with a really bad mode/act and bad approaches (sex). It's a little bit hard to explain but, look again at this picture below :
This picture for me was harsh, why they use women as a sex thing? I don't know you're agree or not but, if you're a women, maybe you'll understand our feeling bout this. I was not give my attention to those advertisement but when my lecturer played the video in our class, I realized that us, women, has to be more respected. Even if you're so beautiful, have a great great body, it's ok to use a sexy dress but don't ever picturing ourself as low as that. Besides, it makes "stereotyping" among women nowadays. Cause media built our perception into some definition of  "beauty" like beauty have to be white skin, tall, skinny, long hair and ect.. So I want to warn for every girls who read this, we're beautiful just the way we are. There's no pride if you keep changing yourself and be anyone else. The pretty side of our self is in our attitude and brain. Yes, those are the most important thing rather than being pretty just like the ads women. Sorry for the lack info, need to go now.. Bye :D

Extremely sparse, Lee Ah Lee


I wanna share some story that maybe will open your eyes and be grateful of who you are. According to my hobby play the piano, I wonder to play one of my fav song but it was too hard so I gave up my self and better to play the other easy song. But then, I remembered this women, Lee Ah Lee. The girl who inspired me of not giving up in play piano, well actually it's bigger than that. Something about "no pain, no gain" and if you have a dream you've to run for it no matter what in condition are you just forgot the obstacles and go for it!
When I was in junior highschool, it was 2007 if I wasn't mistaken, Lee Ah Lee came to Indonesia for her piano concert tour in Asia. My mom, who always forced me to play piano asked me and dad to saw her concert. I was agree with her idea because of this women has only four fingers to play piano. CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? I'm luckily have ten fingers but I quit learned classical piano in 4 years cause I'm fed up with that theoritical bullshit things in classic, but I change my genre into pop cause it's more fun and umm easy :p And yes, Lee Ah Lee gimme her sparkle when she played the piano. When this korean lady entered the stage, the clapping hands were filled Balai Kartini room. Even though she's physically defect, she already gained international recognition in playing piano. From she was born, she suffered down syndrome and both of her hands has only two fingers. The fingers deformity like this is usually called lobster claw syndrome, the shaped were like the tweezers of lobster and there's no palm of hands. She was also born with legs only to a point of knees, so she can't step on the standard pedal of piano. Therefore, she has the special pedal made only for her size. I was surprise but sad at the same time, cause she was like the normal women with her beautiful smile, said hi to the audiences with her korean english accent. Very funny and entertaining, but hey when I looked her fingers, I internally speak to my self, is she really played the piano? like seriously? Then she pushed the toots of piano for real, and the first song was "Love Story". I was freeze at the moment, and so does my parents I guess. And those four fingers really did entertained us in I forgot how long the concert was, but yes, she really did played it and that international recognition was not true, she got the Earth recognition in my opinion. She got the technique, she got the style, the musicality, the dynamics and those every ten fingers musician has, I recognize that she has it as well! Then, she introduced her mom, the powerful lady who raise her with full of love and acceptance. The video about her lifetime was played, her piano teacher is a really strict person, Lee Ah Lee had to practice 10 hours per day. Cause her difference with others required her to practice more and more. Her mother also strict about this one, she pulled Lee Ah  Lee to piano and forced her to practice. And the result is, we can see now, all the effort clearly answered, Lee Ah Lee become one of the great pianist known worldwide. Now hehe, I looked up myself and definetely acknowledge the fact that I quit classic class before giving my all effort on it. At least, yeah thank God at least I still played it until now :) Even though it more pop and easy music. You already know the story of Lee Ah Lee and I don't want to be so super to motivate you guys. Just gained what I shared above, if you like it thankyou.. Hopefully we can be as success as her, remember we 've 10 fingers to show it.

Somebody That I used To Know!


Belgian-Australian singer and song writer Gotye written his own song from his own experienced he has had with relationship produce an outstanding song "Somebody that I used to know". He choose New Zealand singer named Kimbra to be his duet in this song. This song was suprisingly success and known worlwide at the end of 2011 and keep raising in 2012 now. The fact that there was an amazing covered by a lot of social network musician in YouTube clarified that this song is loveable. For the first evidence is :

  • The covered by the Canadian Indie Band; Walk Off The Earth got almost one hundreds million visitor of their videos in YouTube and performed in Ellen Show.


Their performance actually simple but very unique to be seen. They just use one guitar and everyone have their own privilege and job to do different thing and made it sounds amazing. The first singer Ryan Marshall have an extraordinary voice and make the beginning of the song beautiful, when I heard the reff by the classic guy Gianni Luminati, well I admit it was superb and superB and SUPERB. Can't even explain it anymore.. The blonde called Sarah Blackwood was insane as well, her soft voice coming up, but her voice strong enough in the high tone I'm totally out of the blue. Well the others, Mike Taylor the beardman hehe he looks melancholy but he keep on the rhythm and Joel Cassady the drum-man, he's cute and I always love drummer :p really nice improvisation, really do love it for sure. I'm sorry if I was mistaken for being a commentator, I just give a comment from what I've heard :)


  • The other covered is from an accapella band from Texas, "Pentatonix" a group of five vocalist Scott Hoying, Kirstie Maldonado, Mitch Grassi, Avi Kaplan and Kevin Olusola.

Their performance have a different kind of soul from the Walk Off the Earth band, cause they didn't use any musical instrument, but they use their own voice. This group of this vocalist prove that accapella no longer as seen as a boring genre of music. They made this song looks very cool and professional. Just take a look and comment it by yourself hehe, you're gonna love it! trust me.

  • Christina Grimmie, one of the celebrity in YouTube! 

She looks a lil bit crazy here hahaha! But it's good in the end, take a look her covered songs. Her voice is very strong and she's also beauti

DanzaTrice 07 massive success!


Last friday, I went to my senior highschool Labschool Jakarta to buy a Labsproject 2012 tickets (an annual event in my highschool held by the 11th grade). I bought the ticket from my junior which is the saman dancer as well, I came to her at the usual place for practice (Ruang Kaca). I was surprise that they'll perform not only the saman dance but also Rampai Geleng dance. The dance which is come from Aceh just like Saman but we use the circle things sounds like drum just like the pictures above. And my mind flew away to two years ago, the time that my batch held this big event LabsProject 2010 Future Vision. In that time, me and my saman dance team called DanzaTrice07 also performed Saman and Rampai Geleng dance. This event was the top part of our dance history. We had been prepared for this event approximately 3 months. Why it took so long? Because this is our own event and we want to performed the best of saman dance ever. Our coach gave us an advice to perform Rampai Geleng dance, the mix with saman dance will be very cool and attractive. We're agree with the idea and began to practice three times a week if I wasn't mistaken. It was very hard and need to be patience all the time. The group formation from left to right of our dance was Cassandra, Ajeng, Faya, Indi, Lathifa, Dini, Nane, Iffa (me), Dida, Dhea, Lea, Lulu, Tika, Ayas, Nadya. Me, Dini, Nane, Dida and Dhea were in the middle and it's our job to make some kind of flower by made a circle path and turn around and around, it was sick and insane but I admit it makes the dance looks beautiful with the dance combination by other friends in the right and left. I know it sounds confusing but believe me, there's something more insane when we performed. Finally the day we've been waiting for is come. Me and DanzaTrice07 were stay in the hotel near Senayan (the place we held LP'2010). We've to do final practice on the spot in the morning before the event. So we're going to practice with all the enthusiasm even though I've confession to make that I didn't remember all the song lyrics yet hehe (so does some of the girls :p). But I don't know why what's wrong with us, the final practice wasn't as good as the other practice. There was a dissapoint face from us, the crew and the EO people. Because they were hoped that all of Labs Performance by students was attractive just like the event. I feel sad cause we're going to perform at night and we don't have time to practice all the time it'll make us tired. So we're just praying and hoping all the best for that night. Then, after long preparation at the hotel, we're going to the place in the afternoon to helped the other crew, watch the band performance or staying in the backstages. We did our make up 2-3 hours before the show. After all the waiting and prepared, we're going to performed, I feel numbs, nervous and suddenly forgot all the dance movement. We did our ritual praying by hand in hand and made a circle of us. After praying we stood near the stages waiting the Syekh (Saman dance singer) begin to sing the song. The syekh was yell out 'Assalamualaikum kami ucapkan..." the beginning of our performance, we went to the stages in line, the audiences were.....(speechless)....very very crowded. The 9000 audiences waiting for their favourite band and screaming to us.. But then, miracle happened, the syekh started to sing "Sallatulah..salamullah.." which is everybody knew it, and Gelora Bung Karno sing it loudly until we don't even hear the syekh sing, a little bit scared we miss the beat but we're fine until fiveteen minutes we entertained the crowds, they're clapped their hands loudly everytime we raise the beat of our dance and yes, they love our performance. We went to backstage, yelling, screaming, hugging and laughing to each other. The teachers, parents, friends congratulates us, we're the celebrity in a minutes hehe. Ofcourse we didn't forgot to pray again, thanked God for everything, for the massive success and for our team. We did it!! Long Live DanzaTrice07

And back again to the Labsproject 2012, it's on Saturday, May 12 2012! Buy the ticket now, and Goodluck for the crews and performances.. :D
