The Classic Chanel





 It's been a while since the last time I've seen Coco Chanel collections to be this... simple yet beautiful. For the Resort collection this time, Lagerfield brought back the classics, just what Coco Chanel has always want when she decided to build this mega brand back then in 1910.

At the earlier years, the collections were simple. Just like what Coco Chanel always say 'The less is more'. That's what I love about her. Yet, the last few years' collection were more like 'The more is more'. They lost the original intention. But seeing the latest collections made me thinking 'Yes... the real Chanel is finally back!'

If you see those clothes, they are gorgeous. The simple cut, the elegant feelings and (this is my favourite) the pearls are back. They will never get old. They are timeless. The classic Chanel, don't we all love it? Thank you Mr. Lagerfield. The collections are très belle.

Be curious, not judgmental



 "Don't be so judgmental"



I used  to say that A LOT. I don't like when people start to judge me like they know me or know my history. Hell, I hate it. It's not like I reveal myself to everyone, yet they claim to 'know me'. Oh please, I don't even know myself. Yeah... I used to think that way. It goes the same when a friend of mine start to judge another friend of mine 'why are you being s judgmental', I always say. I even said that a lot on my twitter. Little I know, that ALL OF US are judgmental, aren't we?


The thought came from when I had this conversation with a friend of mine. Both of us are sarcastic, I admit it and yes, sarcastic people speak without even thinking whether it'll hurts others or not. We just say it. Long story shorts, we discussed about how people love to judge, when  my friend suddenly blurted 'So, we become those judgmental bitches too, don't we?' and then it hit me. All of us, consciously or not, are judgmental people.

Have you ever thought that calling people judgmental is actually making you as a judgmental person? If you say yes, congratulation, you have better knowledge than I am (not it's something you should be proud of actually) because I just realized it recently (where the hell I've been?)

Every story has two, or more, of perspective. What you may thought might be different what I may thought, it doesn't mean that you're wrong. It just means that we have different perspective. 


In my opinion, there's a slight different between judgmental and accusing, aside from Webster's. Judging is when you're taking a mental note on how you think of a person and you stick to the thought, while accusing is when you're actually saying it to the person, and that person can say whether it's true or not. Needless to say, Judging is worse than accusing.

It makes me... a bad person /le sigh\ 

You might get mad at me and say 'Bitch, I'm not like you, I never judge people', just so you know, you JUST DID.

Counting down to Eru Concert in Jakarta


Eru pasti cinta mati sama Indonesia. Itu yang muncul di kepala saya ketika media mengabarkan kalau Eru akan mengadakan konser solo pertamanya di Indonesia. Rasanya belum lama ini saya 'bernyanyi' bersama Eru di Gelora Bung Karno. Belum lama ini saya terkesima dengan suaranya yang menenangkan. Walaupun sesungguhnya sudah cukup lama saya menyadari betapa Eru itu.... ganteng ^^

Saya tidak terlalu familiar dengan Eru. Bahkan sampai tahun lalu, saya tidak pernah tahu ada penyanyi solo Korea yang bernama Eru. Tapi semenjak oppa  yang satu ini muncul di layar kaca Indonesia dan bermain sinetron 'Saranghaeyo, I love you' yang merupakan hasil kerja sama sutradara Indonesia-Korea, saya mulai aware. Lalu Eru bermain di film Indonesia yang mengambil setting di Korea yang berjudul 'Hello Goodbye'  bersama Atiqah Hasiholan dan Rio Dewanto (XD) dan menyanyikan salah satu OSTnya yang berjudul 'Black Glasses' bersama dengan Atiqah. Sejak saat itu, wajah Eru pun menjadi familiar buat saya.

Tidak lama kemudian, Eru pun mengeluarkan lagu baru berjudul 'I Hate You' yang berduet dengan Yong Jun Hyung-nya Beast. Kalo itu, saya aware pake banget XD. Sejak saat itu saya mulai mencari tahu lagu-lagu lain yang dinyanyikan oleh Eru. Semakin saya mencari tahu, saya semakin sadar, suara Eru memang bagus. Suaranya punya efek yang menenangkan. Tidaklah heran kalau dia dijuluki 'Prince of Ballad'. Kalau di hitung-hitung, kunjungan Eru yang akan datang ini merupakan kunjungan ke empatnya. Setelah acara Music bank kemarin pun, Eru sempat tinggal beberapa hari lebih lama di Indonesia dan muncul di berbagai acara televisi lokal kita. Dia pernah bilang kalau Indonesia itu sudah seperti rumah buat dia. Waaahhh.. pantas kalau Eru suka banget bolak- balik ke Indonesia ^^


Konser yang akan diselenggarakan pada hari Sabtu, 20 April 2013 mendatang ini bertajuk Eru Concert in Jakarta 2013 with K-Pop. Lapangan D Senayan yang memiliki kapasitas 40.000 orang pun, dipilih menjadi venuenya.  Di Konser solonya ini, Eru akan membawa Ailee, Shorry J (dari Hip Hop Duo Mighty Mouth), Bae Chi Ghi, Sule dan  Atiqah Hasiholan sebagai bintang tamu istimewa. Mereka adalah artis-artis Korea dan Indonesia yang pernah berduet dengan Eru.
 
Ailee yang dikenal sebagai Beyonce-nya Korea memang menarik cukup banyak perhatian dengan suaranya yang powerful. Saya pribadi cukup menikmati 'Highlight' yang merupakan lagu duet Eru-Ailee dan saya ingin sekali dapat menyaksikan live performance nya. Mighty Mouth adalah salah satu grup Hip Hop yang saya suka. Memang, hanya Shorry J yang datang ke Indonesia kali ini, mungkin karena Sangchu sedang menjalani wajib milter, but Mighty Mouth is still Mighty Mouth, and seeing the real Shorry in front of my eyes, it would feel surreal, wouldn't it? :p Baechigi juga adalah salah satu duo hip hop yang terkenal juga di Korea. Lagu - lagu mereka memiliki lirik yang lucu dan kadang nyeleneh. Performance  mereka selalu atraktif dan kamu pasti akan di ajak lompat- lompat oleh mereka.

@KadokuID sebagai penyelenggara utama konser ini bekerja sama dengan Eru Entertainment dan Asia Top entertainment bekerja keras untuk dapat mewujudkan impian para Eru Friends dan penggemar Kpop lainnya dengan mengadakan konser ini. Masalah harga, saya yakin kalau ini adalah konser Kpop dengan harga tiket termurah yang pernah saya dengar (dan saya yakin kamu juga akan setuju).  Konser solo Eru yang juga menampilkan Ailee, Shorry, Baechugi, Sule dan Atiqah Hasiholan ini hanya seharga RP. 50,000 untuk festival dan RP. 100,000 untuk platinum. Ini sih murah banget ^^

Kamu bisa beli tiket Eru secara online di dmarket.co.id , tinggal di pilih kamu mau yang Festival atau Platinum. Nah, untuk yang suka nyari gratisan (siapa yang ga suka kan?), dmarket.co.id dan Iyaa.com sedang gencar gencarnya bagi-bagi tiket Eru. Kamu boleh cek di SINI untuk cara dapetin tiket gratisnya. Kalau kamu adalah Eru Friends, atau kamu suka sama Eru dan ingin sekali nonton konsernya, kamu kudu wajib punya tiketnya. Mau ngeluarin uang dari dompet sendiri atau mau tiket gratisan, semuanya terserah kamu. Kita ketemu di Senayan tanggal 20 nanti ya ^^

Ini dia teaser Konser Eru di Jakarta:

Yes, Sir... G-Dragon is indeed One of a Kind

Last year, I just couldn't believe my own ears and eyes hearing the news that BIGBANG will finally hold a concert in Indonesia. Like, the actual concert. Not any part of Korean Wave festival or anything, but the real full length concert. I was ecstatic. Beyond ecstatic. I thought I just lost my mind (just? what do you mean you JUST lost your mind? kkkk). After the two days of amazing, wonderful, mega beautiful experiences, my heart refused to accept the fact that those two days were already become memories. I was having hard time to move on.Hard time.

But theeeennn, approximately a month ago, I started to experience the same feeling again when YG, that beloved company who keeps taking money from my pocket, announced another shocking newd. Yes, you already know what it is.  Ladies and Gentleman, It's time for us to embrace GDragon One of a Kind World Tour woooohooooooo........

Yes, I've lost my mind. No, I don't even care kkkkkk.... So, following up the release of his first solo mini album 'One of a Kind', GD will be having World Tour until June 2013 (well at least that's what's been confirmed oh his official Facebook page). He already kicked the tour off in Seoul at 30th and 31st March ago. And he will travel around the world (again) to complete his tour schedule. Really, Ji? I know you're not human, but... really, Ji? hehehehe....

It might be said 'World Tour', But so far, It's still 'Asian Tour,' since the countries confirmed are still parts of Asian (Korea, Japana and southeast asia countries [exl. Phillipines. We still pray for you pinoy VIPS]).

Just like Alive Tour last year, Big Daddy Entertainment is the one who brought GD to Indonesia (let's give Big Daddy a huge virtual hug ^^). GD OOAK World Tour in Jakarta will be held at June 15th (starting at 8pm) and 16th (starting at 4pm) 2013 at Mata Elang International Stadium (MEIS), Ancol, Jakarta. I like the venue. Been there for three times, concert-watching-wise and, yeah, it's okay (considering there's still no better and bigger places than that one at the moment ^^)

The ticket prices are, quite reasonable. For GD's concert, there are only 4 sections : Yellow, Festival, Blue and Red. The range price are between IDR 550,000 - IDR 2,000,000, depends on the section. Red: IDR 550,000; Blue: IDR 850,000; Festival: IDR 1,450,000 and Yellow: IDR 2,000,000. The seating plan as attached below:


There are two changes happened on Big Daddy's ticketing this time. First, Festival section, which previously was divided into 4 section, now has only two sections. Festival A and Festival B. And instead of naming others section into; Tribune 1, Tribune 2 and VIP, Big Daddy decided to only name them as; Red, Blue and Yellow. Second, and this my favourite change, learning from their past experience, the seating section now has seated number. Yaaaaayyyyy... so, the Red, Blue and yellow ticket holders won't be worry their seat would be taken by others (yes, it seriously happened to me last time). I, personally, love this kind of system very very much. A lot. Big applause for Big Daddy ^^

The tickets are already being sold as per today (130407) for online purchase only. But starting tomorrow, the selling will be both online and offline. You can visit myticket.com or tiket.com web page for the online purchase. Please be noticed that myticket.com only take credit card for the online purchase. If you don't have any credit card, you can go directly to their ticket offices here. But if you don't feel like go anywhere and just wanna do online purchase but all you have is your atm card or bank token, you can visit visit tiket.com web. They accept those kinds of payment.

For you who already got the ticket for #GDfirstworldtour , congratulations and see you at the venue. And for those who haven't, grab it fast ^^

Oh... Yes, Sir. He's one of a kind and he got me cray....

I Got A Boy??? Really???



SNSD's I Got A Boy... first time I watched the MV, my reaction was like 'Girls... you're trying too hard'. Don't get me wrong, I liked SNSD's music. They were cute. Easy listening. The choreography were easy to be followed. I liked their music. Up until 'Hoot'. Sorry.. but 'Hoot' was like the lowest point of their career. They seemed to be trying hard to change their image that they don't even sure what they are trying to do.

And they made it worse by releasing 'The Boys'. Again... I need to apologize to SONEs out there, but the MV made them like a newly debuted girl group. It looked cheap (the MV, not the girls). The song was really ear-catching but the first impression that I got from watching the MV just can't be ignored.

And now 'I Got A Boy'.... It's like the follow up song from 'The Boys'. After they 'brought the boys out', now they 'got a boy' kkkkkk.... The song itself is... how do I say it? WEIRD? I think that's the best description I can come up with. It has mixed sounds. It's like they put several genres into one song. I've heard this kind of song once, or twice, or maybe more, so I dig the experiment. The problem is.... IGAB's composer didn't try to mix the sounds smoothly. There's really no bridging between one genre to another genre. It resulted as... a medley song. Too bad.

As for their styles, again, 'Girls... you're trying too hard' I waas like 'f(x)now has 9 members????' (and to add the confusion, Yoona really looks like Krystal). Their style concept used to be classy, elegant, girly and stuffs like that. And now they're aiming to be cool, street-wear style and boyish. Just like f(x)'s concept. Lee Soo Man sajangnim... what are you trying to do? To sum it all, I love the style, but I don't like that style ON them. They can't pull it well. But Sooyoung and Hyoyeon are really gorgeous on the MV. Geez....

Girls... Naaaahh... that's not how you do it

Note to myself


So this is New year huh? another year has passed, another dreams need to be created. Another resolutions need to be achieved. To be better. That's all what we want.

We've been through a lot. Smile, tears, happiness, sadness, disappointment. A lot. We might wanna learn from our past but don't let it get a hold of you.

So, First day of 2013.... how does it feel? Nothing changes? ahahahaha.. maybe not yet. 2012 had been a wonderful year to me. Can't mention it one by one, but I feel so much blessings for the past 2012. Although I missed one of many goals of my life, yet I can't ignore whatever been given to me.

So 2012... I've got not only one, not two, but five new nephews and nieces. And yes, the one-million-dollar question is still around every time one new nephew or niece is added to the list, but I've already knew how to handle it. So, I'm good kkkkk...

I didn't really travel anywhere this year, unlike on 2011, but hell, I've already made list of which countries I'm going to visit in 2013. And believe you me, My passport will be full by the end of year 2013 kkkkkkkk (I meant it!!!) ^^

I did some introspection on new year's eve, since I couldn't sleep (no, thank you to some people who decided to play with 'petasan' and 'mercon')and I found some fun (?)facts. At the beginning of 2012, I've made several goals about what I need to achieve by the end of the year. And until yesterday, at the end of 2012, none of my-settled-goals were achieved, yet I achieved other goals that I didn't even set on. Hmmmm... this is interesting. Oh well.... blessings are blessings. Why complain about it.

So yeah...no matter what you've been through in the past year, be thankful for it. If it's good, embrace the joy and the good memories. It it's bad, embrace the pain, learn from the mistake, face it with smile, and move on.

This has been a note to myself, but if you're inspired by it, I gotta ask... REALLY??? hehehehe.....

Goodbye 2012, It's been a great journey.

Hello 2013, let's HAVE FUN!!!!!!
