I find a post by 9gag said that, "You know you're old when you have more wedding invitation than a birthday party." and yeah, I know I'm old. It's my lifetime best friend's wedding!
It's a very late post btw, but who cares. It's Anda's wedding. \(^o^)/

beautiful isn't it?

I was very surprised when she mentioned about her boyfriend, which is also my high school and college friend, coming to her house, along with his parents. I thought there would be some engagement thing first, since Anda herself hadn't finish her medical school yet. But her parents said there's no need such engagement, "If you two really want to get marry, just marry then," that's what they said. Furthermore, Anda said that she would have her Co-Ass soon, so I really guessed that it would be the next year thing. I was totally wrong!!! She said that they would hold their wedding before her co-ass in September, which means it's in this year. *shock* While there's Ramadhan month in mid-July, and she said that the wedding should be held before Ramadhan. *double shock*
Just to make it clear, that conversation of us was in early April. So I was not exaggerating things when she said all of those things. She just had less than 3 months preparation. For a wedding!! I felt sorry I couldn't be much help for the preparation, I was still in Bandung at that time. But I helped as much as I could do, gave her some suggestions here and there when she needed. She told me about her wedding theme that mostly about fairy tale so she made it a garden party. Not a total garden party as you usually saw in movies, but it's still beautiful. I was asked to make an invitation wording for her. It's kinda hard to match the theme, but thankfully she satisfied with my works. :D

Yay! A new single! :D
They posted it yesterday, June 15th, at 0.00 a.m. I guess. I was still awake at that time and doing something with internet though, but I just realize it this afternoon. So unobservant. hahaha...
Anyway, as usual, they did a nice music with beautiful voice. I have posted before about Standing Egg before (here).
It's a cheerful love song, just like the video that using some cute animations. And, I don't know why, by listening to this song make me feel happy in an instance. I end up replaying this song on and on. :D

For the video version with hangeul, romanization, and translation lyrics, you can watch it here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aI5CzB23NMo
It's not officially posted by Standing Egg, some #eggfan do those editing. Love it anyway, so I know now what that song is about. Thank you! :)

Enjoy! And I will keep going too, to finish what I started.

Adios! ^^

Let me introduce you to Standing Egg, an indie band from South Korea. When I talk about South Korea's music, maybe your mind will directly land on K-Pop. But this thing stay on different road as K-Pop. How different? I don't know either. haha.. Okay, let me try. While most K-Pop now dominated by boyband or girlband with an up-beat-dance music, this band brings you some beautiful-easy-listening musics. Ugh! I give up. Just listen to it, and find the difference yourself. :p

The first time I hear its music is in the song 편한사이 (read: Pyeonhansai) featuring Windy in the Indie2Go project -YouTube video goes here-. My friend told me about it. And at that very first time, I knew I like it, I like the feel, I like their music. I browse more songs, and as expected, I love their songs! And now they're back with second album. Yay!!
Oh, and don't be surprised if you see different vocalist in different song. Most of them are featuring artists, like Clover and Windy. I personally, don't even know who are the members of this band actually, physically, how their looks like. In many sources, it just stated that there are 3 members, named Egg 1 (@golden_groove), Egg 2 (@standingEGG), and Egg 3 (@itelepathy)!! Well, it doesn't matter though how their looks like, their music that matter. :)
I'm done talking here, just check out more for yourself.

Here's where you can find them:
- YouTube
- Facebook
- Twitter

- and their web www.standingegg.com 

the song I hear the first time

the road I walk the first time

they are unfamiliar to me like me without you

.:Standing Egg-Aloha:.

Adios! ^^

 

Bronte

Now your bowl is empty
And your feet are cold
And your body cannot stop rocking
I know
It hurts to let go

Since the day we found you

You have been our friend

And your voice still

Echoes in the hallway of this house

But now

It's the end

We will be with you

When you're leaving

We will be with you

When you go

We will be with you

And hold you till you're quiet

It hurts to let you go

We will be with you

You will stay with us

I accidentally found a song of Gotye in Youtube, titled Somebody I Used to Know. It's an unfamiliar name for me, because apparently he's an Australian artist. -ok, it's not a good reason I use. truthfully speaking, I wasn't following new songs since a long time ago- And so I played that song, at first it's kind of hard to follow the music, but then as the song was playing and I read the lyrics, I was like "Wow!". 

It's a refreshing music for me. So original yet nicely composed. Then I browsed more Gotye's videos and found this song, Bronte. The melody successfully make the lyrics more "deep". I just love it.

Of course there're lot more songs of Gotye, but so far I've just browsed some, and my favorites are Somebody I Used to Know, Bronte, and Hearts a Mess. Unique music and great lyrics make them perfect. Maybe you can enjoy his music too.

Adios! ^^

Courage Is

by The Strange Familiar

Take all my vicious words 
and turn them into something good
Take all my preconceptions 
and let the truth be understood
Take all my prized possessions 
and leave only what I need
Take all my pieces of doubt 
and let me be what's underneath

Courage is 
when you're afraid

but you keep on moving anyway
Courage is 
when you're in pain 
but you keep on living anyway

We all have excuses why 
living in fear something in us dies
Like a bird with broken wings, 
its not how high he flies 
but the song he sings

It's not how many times 
you've been knocked down
It's how many times 
you get back up

Courage is 
when you've lost your way 
but you found your strength anyway
Courage is 
when you're afraid

Courage is 
when it all seems grey
Courage is 
when you make a change 
and you keep on living anyway

You keep on moving anyway
You keep on giving anyway
You keep on loving anyway

This song I found randomly, I even forgot how I found it. But it still stuck in my mind for a long time. The lyrics is great, one of motivational lyrics I love. We all need it, the courage to live, to keep on moving, even just to be happy. :)

Adios! ^^

DISGUISE

by Lene Marlin

Have you ever felt some kind of emptiness inside
You will never measure up, to those people you
Must be strong, can't show them that you're weak
Have you ever told someone 

Something that's far from the truth
Let them know that you're okay
Just to make them stop
All the wondering, and questions they may have

I'm okay, I really am now
Just needed some time, to figure things out
Not telling lies, I'll be honest with you
Still we don't know what's yet to come

Have you ever seen your face,
In a mirror there's a smile
But inside you're just a mess,
You feel far from good
Need to hide, 

'cos they'd never understand
Have you ever had this wish, 

Of being somewhere else
To let go of your disguise, all your worries too
And from that moment, then you see things clear

Are you waiting for that day when your pain will disappear?
When you know that it's not true what they say about you?
Couldn't care less 'bout the things surrounding you
Ignoring all the voices from my wall

I knew this song when I was in junior high school. It's the ending theme song for a Taiwan drama called Senorita or here, people knew it as Twins. When I finally knew the lyrics, I love it even more, one of my favorite songs. And last night, this song just came across my mind. Hope you enjoy it. :)

Adios! ^^

this CF (Korean term for commercial) is soooooo sweeet... I also want to do that someday. >.<
-well, I mean, I want to make an incredible room or something like that with my polaroid's photos. It doesn't have to be done for someone right? I'll do it for my self. :)

FOR NO ONE - The Beatles

The day breaks, your mind aches

You find that all her words of kindness linger on 

When she no longer needs you

She wakes up, she makes up

She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry

She no longer needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing

No sign of love behind her tears

Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years

You want her, you need her

And yet you don't believe her when she says her love is dead

You think she needs you

And in her eyes you see nothing

No sign of love behind the tears

Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years

You stay home, she goes out

She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone

She doesn't need him

Your day breaks, your mind aches

There will be times when all the things she said will fill your head

You won't forget her

And in her eyes you see nothing

No sign of love behind her tears

Cried for no one

A love that should have lasted years
