Monday, March 19th, 2007

Selamat Hari Raya Nyepi!

Kemaren yg beragama Hindu pada Nyepi.. yg laen? yaa..jalan2 dong! Buktinya gw ke PIM 1& 2..MasyaAllah, buanyaaakkk amettt manusia!!! (O_o)!

Eniwei..udah lama gw ma ade ada rencana nonton bedua, kalo ga bisa berempat ma bo-nyok juga.. Jadinya, kemaren siang kami berdua naik taxi dr depan rumah truuuuuuzzzz aja (Radio Dlm mxdnya)..belok kanan.. belok kiri… sampe dehh di PIM!! huehuehue… Cuma 7rb naik taxinya, hehe.. Pas sampe di 21 PIM1, wuidih lautan orang yg ngantri, ga jelas pula antriannya yg mane.. Mana ABG mulu lageeehhh, cape gw. And so my bro and I decided to buy the ticket at XXI PIM2, yup we can get 21 tickets at XXI!

Abis beli tiket "Music & Lyrics", langsung balik lagi ke 21 PIM1. Beli popcorn & drinks, truz masuk studio deh :D

Yg aneh tuh..sebelah gw ada 2 cewe bule. Sepanjang film tuh ye, 2 kali mereka bolak-balik keluar studio. Setelah yg ke-dua kalinya, mereka kagak balik2 lagi ke studio. Gw ma ade yg..ni orang ngapain sih? Mo nonton gak seeehh?

Nway..just like I said in my review, it was reallly good! I just wanna put some of the lyrics here…

================================================

Way Back Into Love

Haley:
I’ve been living with a shadow over head
I’ve been sleepin with a cloud above my bed
I’ve been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can’t seem to move on

Hugh:
I’ve been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just incase I ever need them again someday
I’ve been setting aside time,to clear a little space in the corners of my mind

Chorus:
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
ohh

Haley:
I’ve been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I’ve been searching but I just don’t see the signs
I know that its out there
There’s got to be something for my soul somewhere

Hugh:
I’ve been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction, and I’m open to your suggestions

Chorus:
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
and If I open my heart again
I guess Im hopin you’ll be there for me in the end

oohh… ooohh.. oooohh..

Haley:
There are moments when I don’t know if its real
or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration, not just another negotiation

Chorus:
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can’t make it through without a way back into love
and If I open my heart to you
Im hopin you’ll show me what to do
and if you help me to start again
you know that I’ll be there for u in the end

================================================

Pop! Goes My Heart

I never thought that I could be so satisfied
Every time that I look in your angel eyes
A shock inside me that words just can’t describe
And there’s no explaining

Something in the way you move I can’t deny
Every word from your lips is a lullaby
A twist of fate makes life worthwhile
You are gold and silver

I said I wasn’t gonna lose my head
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn’t gonna fall in love again
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
And I just can’t let you go
I can’t lose this feeling

These precious moments we have so few
Let’s go far away where there’s nothing to do but wait
You show to me that my destiny’s with you
And there’s no explaining

Let’s fly so high
Will you come with me tonight?
In your dress I confess you’re the sole sunlight
The way you shine in the starry skies
You are gold and silver

I said I wasn’t gonna lose my head
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn’t gonna fall in love again
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
And I just can’t let you go
I can’t lose this feeling

A twist of fate makes life worthwhile
You are gold and silver

I said I wasn’t gonna lose my head
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn’t gonna fall in love again
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)

I said I wasn’t gonna lose my head
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
I wasn’t gonna fall in love again
But then pop! Goes my heart
(Pop! Goes my heart)
And I just can’t let you go
================================================

Don’t Write Me Off

It’s never been easy for me
To find words to go along, with a melody
But this time there’s actually something, on my mind
So please forgive these few brief awkward lines

Since I’ve met you, my whole life has changed
It’s not just my furniture, you’ve rearranged
I was living in the past, but somehow you’ve brought me back
And I haven’t felt like this since before Frankie said relax

And while I know, based on my track record
I might not seem like the safest bet
All I’m asking you, is don’t write me off, just yet

For years I’ve been telling myself, the same old story
That I’m happy to live off my so called, former glories
But you’ve given me a reason, to take another chance
Now I need you, despite the fact, that you’ve killed all my plants

And though I know, I’ve already blown more chances
Than anyone should ever get
All I’m asking you, is don’t write me off, just yet
Don’t write me off just yet
================================================

Those three are my favorite songs from the soundtrack of "Music & Lyrics". I really like the lyrics in "Way Back Into Love", simple words put together but really meaningful :)

Oh yeah..and another thing! I wanna put some memorable quotes here too. I copied these from www.imdb.com

================================================
[from trailer]
Alex Fletcher: [singing] Sleeping with a clown above my bed…
[spoken]
Alex Fletcher: "Clown" is not right
Sophie Fisher: That’s "cloud." Why would you put a clown in your bed?
Alex Fletcher: It would not be the first time.
================================================
Alex Fletcher: The best time I’ve had in the last fifteen years was sitting at that piano with you.
Sophie Fisher: That’s wonderfully sensitive… especially from a man who wears such tight pants.
Alex Fletcher: It forces all the blood to my heart.
================================================
Alex Fletcher: You look like a worried little doggy.
Sophie Fisher: Woof?
================================================
Alex Fletcher: Theoretically, I could pick you up because I will be taking a cab.
Sophie Fisher: I could be standing outside at 9:40 in bright orange clothes, so you wouldn’t miss me…
Alex Fletcher: Oh good, you’ll get some road work done while you wait then.
================================================
Alex Fletcher: [start of Way Back Into Love Demo Version] Way Back Into Love, take one.
Sophie Fisher: I-uh-I’m getting really nervous.
Alex Fletcher: You’ll be fine, just use your normal, nice voice that I’ve heard… so much over the last three days.
Sophie Fisher: It’s like, ugh, my throat’s closing up. It’s, like, anaphylactic.
[cough]
Alex Fletcher: It’s fine, it’s just a three minute song.
================================================

Those are memorable quotes that when I remember the scenes that go with it, it makes me laugh, hahahaha..

Kemaren (Sabtu, 17 Maret) gw fitness lagi kan, krn Personal Trainer (PT) gw minggu depan ga bisa, jadi dikejar jumat en sabtu. Abis latihan, sudah waktunya tuk ngukur (dilihat dr jmlh sesinya).

I got on the scale..

was measured..

and resulted in…

a decrease in my weight!!!

WOO HOOO…!!!

Then my PT measured my arms, waistline, hips, thighs & calves.. all of them showed a decrease in measure!!
*happy happy joy joy*

Then I asked if it’s ok if I measured my height..

my PT said ok..

so I did..

and then………….

the HORROR….

the REALITY………………

of what happened to my height..

I got taller!!!! I grew 1 cm taller from January 2007!!!

I started my fitness routine January 2007, and I was 174 cm tall.. and yesterday I measured, my height became 175 cm!!

duuuhhh..kalo kayak gini kan gw juga yg susah.. gw cewe, tapi koq tinggi amettt.. susah cari jodohnya, masa’ mo ama orang bule sih gw?? enggak mau ah..

ngomong2 soal jodoh..bokap gw nyinggung2 soal itu. prob’ly cuz I never brought a guy home to introduce to my family as my boyfriend. tapi lucu juga.. nih ceritanya bokap gw:
"Mut, waktu itu Ayah pernah denger ceramah, soal jodoh. Katanya, pas usia kandungan ibu kita udah 4 bulan, jodoh kita udah ditentukan oleh Allah SWT. Sebelum kamu lahir, sebenernya kamu udah punya jodoh. Jadi sebenernya sekarang kamu udah punya jodoh koq, tapi belum ketemu aja."

haha..lucu juga ya?

Well.. I was thinking about why my dad was talking about this, dia ga pernah nyinggung2 soal cowo ma gw soalnya. Now he’s talking about it, is it really already time for him to release "his little girl" ?? hehehe…

Dave Koz @ PIM 2!!

Friday, March 16th, 2007

Current Mood: HAPPY !!!!

Well..like my previous entry said, I was having a fitness session today. Then after that, I was planning to meet Kiki there (PIM), but then she couldn’t come. So I was thinking.. hmm.. I’m here already, why don’t I walk around by myself..? And so I did..

Good thing I did stick around after praying Dzuhur at PIM 2’s Musholla. Dave Koz was in the house!! Oh my.. a performance that will be unforgettable to me.. it was FREE!! haha.. not only that, but I really was happy because of Dave’s performance, his saxophone-playing is really smooth.

The theme was "Dave Koz at the Movies", the songs:

  1. Pink Panther Theme
  2. Somewhere Over the Rainbow
  3. … I forgot the title of this song, but Dave did a duet with Lea Simanjuntak. Lea’s voice is really beautiful..!
  4. Moon River - Dave did a duet with Tompi! keren nih duet! adu jazz scat..
  5. Manusia Bodoh - beneran lohh!! lagunya Ada Band dimaenin!
  6. … - I forgot the title of this song also.. but it was a really good closing song :D enjoyed it very much :)

From here I can see that.. "Music is a universal language.."

Well..maybe cuz I’m a music-lover.. and I enjoyed Jazz waaaaayyyy before all the Jazz-commotion lately in Indonesia.. (Cuz my Dad influenced my music taste, he likes Jazz and Slow Rock.) eniwei.. b’coz I’m a music-lover, my mood automatically changed to "Super Happy"!!! haha.. cuz since yesterday..I was feeling sad and all those negative stuff, ’til this morning. Then in the noon I went to the gym to workout, I tried to concentrate on my cardio, on the bike, pushing far away all my thoughts.. just concentrating on getting those calories burned.. And so, after I was done with my cardio. My negative feelings suddenly disappeared!! My mood changed from "Saddening" to "Happy".. but Dave Koz’s performance made me "Super Happy"!!

Well, I’ve heard that when you are sad, rather than you do negative things, like do drugs or get drunk, it’s better off you exercise. Exercising makes "the happy hormones" in you work! And it did work for me :D

Intinyaah… gw SENANG BANGET HARI INI !!!! Bisa liat Dave Koz play his sax :D

Current Mood: saddening.. tired -> I’ve fitness 3 days in a row!!! Yesterday, today (Friday) and tomorrow..! fiuuhh.. today I’m gonna meet up with Kiki @ PIM, hehe.. mo ngopi2 :D Eniweiii…

In my e-mail, I got this today…

Dear Mutia,
Here is your horoscope
for Friday, March 16:

When you think positively, it’s amazing how circumstances meet your expectations. So take some time to daydream. If you could work anywhere, what would you do? If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?

hmm..come to think about it.. I really like daydreaming.. so here it goes…

If you could work anywhere, what would you do?
There are 2 options I have in mind.

  1. Work in an NGO. Cuz I have this idealism in making Indonesia a better place to live in :D Ok..maybe it REALLY REALLY is HARD to do, but if someone doesn’t start, how can Indonesia ever be a great place to live in? Without corruption and that kinda stuff.. All the people have good hearts..well, at least the people of the Government, not only the Federal but also the other areas of Indonesia.. from the TOP positions ’til the ones at the bottom (sampe Pak Lurah en Pak RT juga jgn korupsi!!)
  2. Work in the Entertainment World!! ahaha.. When I was little I was obsessed in becoming famous.. I was thinking I wanna be a singer, but my brother said my voice wasn’t unique and that there are other people who have waaaayyy better voices than mine..ahaha ^^; Then I was thinkin.. maybe I’d like to work as a Manager in a record label company.. or Music Director of a band.. OR!! A VJ!! hahaha.. maunyaaa.. Cuz a VJ has lots of opportunities in traveling, seeing places they have never been nefore, meeting famous people.. while on the other hand the VJ himself/herself get famous too! But then..our VJs so far (in MTV Indonesia) hmm..how can I say it? The new ones aren’t as good as Sarah Sechan & Jamie Aditya. Those 2 are reallly crazy and they don’t care how stupid they look on camera as long as they can entertain the viewers! Banyak VJ kita sekarang ja-im gtu deh, ga gokil..

If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
I’d like to travel to.. Japan, Spain, Italy…

Japan: cuz I like anime, manga & also the Japanese music and culture. I’d like to do "ohanami" seeing the Sakura petals falling down in the park while having a picnic, hehe2 :D

Spain: ahhh..! to practice on my Spanish there! haha.. Hablo espanyol un poco :p I’d also like to see what used to be a masjid in Barcelona and all the other historical places there.

Italy: haaa..a romantic place to be.. I’d like to ride on a Gondola.. and also see the historical places there.. and eat lasagna, spaghetti, fettucini alfredo, ravioli.. Pasta Barilla al Dente!! hahaha.. koq jadi makanan yee..??
