  • A Chance from Idol Show

    I am not a big fans of American Idol, (any idols show incl Indonesian Idol are never as good as the American). I don’t really think all the stars (idols winners) are finally a super soloist. Except Kelly Clarkson, none are my favorite. But, I always enjoy watching the earlier part of a season, I think what interest me the most is about the show giving everybody a chance. As long as you want to, you can have a chance. Regardless you go through the next round or simply a fool on TV. Don’t you guys agree that is exactly what everybody needs? A Chance.

  • Gray’s You’re the World to Me

    I was working on a music list, and found David Gray’s You’re the World to Me. And, i must say that this track is one piece of the good stuffs. It sounds better after I played it for the second time. Try it!

    I woke up, the room was cold
    Looking tired, feeling old
    Cursin’ all the changes I’ve to say
    The more I cursed into the flood
    The less it seemed do me good
    Clearer became my mind than I could say
    Baby baby you’re the world to me

    I think I will propose this one to Ike 😀 Hopefully she wont veto this one 😀
    Anyway, my list is almost complete, selecting from hundreds of tracks, and shortlisting them into only 10-15. Will let you guys know what’s the selection later!

  • Rewind #1: Upbeat!

    Reading my friend’s facebook status “Friday never hesitate….It’s Friday..I’m in love!“, it reminds me of my old time favorites. The Cure’s Friday I’m in Love is certainly one of my old time and all time favorites!

    Then, i tried to check my 35 GBs mp3 collection, doh!, way too many to check one by one, then i made a decision to quickly browse through and see which one catch my eyes.
    And, guys, these are within the list, i label these ‘Upbeat’:
    The Cure – Friday I’m in Love
    Joan Jett – I Hate Myself for Loving You
    Skid Row – 18 and Life
    Arkarna – Rehab Fatboy Slim – Rockafella Skank
    Live – The Dolphin’s Cry
    Lenny Kravitz – Again
    Hole – Celebrity Skin
    All Saints – Pure Shores
    The President of The USA – Video Killed the Radio Star
    Erasure – Always BIP – 1000 Puisi
    Ten fantastic tracks (not ranked, not sorted), yeah let’s just call this a random upbeat tracks, that I love the most at my younger age! :p
    ENJOY! (see my second list also!)
    Owh on more thing, do you remember this:

    “…The place where I wanna be, is the place I can call mine…”

    Or this,
    “…He fired his six-shot to the wind that blew a child away…!”
    Or this,

    “…can you here the dolphin’s cry?
    see the road rise up to meet us
    it’s in the air we breathe tonight
    love will lead us, she will lead us…”

    ENJOY! Rock On! 🙂
  • August Updates

    August is good. Our team successfully ran a seminar (60+ participants). And, I went back to my hometown for a few days and enjoy blackouts. The best thing in August is i got many many ideas! 🙂

    It’s never been this easy to get some ideas. They are just keep flowing in from anywhere. Fantastic! Love August.
    September is just few days ahead, and I am gonna love September, as much as I love August! 🙂 Philippines Airlines tickets is in my hand. And Ike got our Boracay tickets also. *grin
    Uuuu, i found a very talented artist in August: Carla Bruni. Well, most friends didn’t like her, but tell you the truth: her voice is sexy, and her beauty did not affect my opinion! :p (altho, yeah, i have included her in my Top 10 list).

  • Rob Thomas is BACK


    Hey, Rob Thomas is back and rocking your life!

    Been waiting for a while for his signature album 🙂 his previous Something To Be was not a big hit. Something was missing from that album.

    But now, Cradlesong is released! And you can now see (hear) the real Rob Thomas! His tracks Hard on You, Gasoline, Real World 09, Her Diamonds, Getting Late are ‘all my thumbs up!’.
    Just love the album, perfect for my ears. Well done, Rob! You rock!

    Then a boom shake
    Helps me awake
    I need some coffee, yeah
    And maybe a shave and
    It’s a pretty bad way to start my today
    Turn on the radio and what does he say
