If someone told me that internet will never create friendship…that person is 100% WRONG. In my life as a blogger, I have met so many nice people whom I considered as friends. They help me get through the worst days of my life (when my mom and my pet died). Yes, it’s true that we only know each other through internet but somehow, for me, this long distance friendship is as important as real life friendship. I wish I can meet all my blogger friends across the world…but it’s a difficult dream.
When Ruth @ Flixchatter told me that she will come to Jakarta in the middle of December, I was ecstatic. She has been one of my long blogger friends and to my surprise she told me that she is an Indonesian who has been living in Minnesota for more than 10 years. Most of her family is still here in Jakarta.
Last Thursday (December 13, 2012), we finally met up…along with Andina @ Inspired Ground (whom I have met earlier when we both attended What’s Next After Blogging workshop) and Cecilia Rusli (she is one of Flixchatter’s contributors). We can easily called the meeting as Female Indo-Bloggers Gathering (although gathering sounds a bit like a lot of people instead of only the four of us

Miyavi used to be a visual kei rock musician, I said used to because last night he no longer looked like visual kei musician. Miyavi has unusual songs, fun and hard rock at the same time…but his striking point is in his ability to play guitar. Miyavi was born under the name Takamasa Ishihara (石原 貴雅). His stage name used the last kanji in his name, 雅- MIYAVI.
To be honest…I am not a huge fan of Miyavi…I like his music but I don’t follow his career much. I haven’t heard his latest album yet. I like his music because he has different style compared to other J-Rock musicians.
When I first heard he was going to come to Jakarta, I was determined to come (although I still had a bit of money problem)…fortunately the ticket was very cheap because he came here under the invitation by Hard Rock Café. It was Hard Rock Café 20th anniversary.
I came to hear his music but music was not the only thing I got, I never expected him to be THAT handsome!! My God, he is soooo handsome. His charisma was oozing everywhere as he played his guitar. Read more of this post

Minggu lalu, tepatnya tanggal 30 September 2012, Jak-Japan Matsuri diadakan lagi untuk yang ke-empat kalinya…dan tentunya gw pun datang lagi. Acara ini merupakan perayaan atas kerjasama yang baik antara Jepang dan indoneisa. Seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya, acara ini diadakan di Monas.Gw tulis post ini dalam dua bahasa, Indonesia dan Inggris karena sebagian besar pengunjung setia blog ini ga bisa berbahasa Indonesia.

David Cook’s performance at Jakarta on July 17 was AWESOME … I couldn’t say that the whole concert was awesome but at least I was having a blast with his awesome performance.
I am a bit unsure how to best share this live report, the disappointing part first or the best part first. I don’t want to give impression that I didn’t like David Cook’s concert but I am in a way disappointed with the promoter and the audience. Since the first time I received the confirmation of my ticket (you can read it here) I was not convinced that this new promoter will do great things toward my favorite American Idol.
When I arrived at the venue I was shocked with so lack of David Cook’s attribute around the venue…It was the opposite of L’arc~en~Ciel’s concert where the banner can be seen 200 meters before the venue. The promoter is so damn stingy. It was the first time I went to a concert that felt so quite. They didn’t promote David Cook’s concert enough. They almost had no sponsor.
I knew that there will be an opening act by Indonesian Idol top-6 but what I was expecting to see was different with what I saw. I thought it was only going to be like 30 minutes performance but it extended to almost 2 freakin hours!! IT WAS TERRIBLY BORING!! I DIDN’T COME THERE TO SEE THEM!! I was quite happy with some of Regina’s performances, she was the winner of this year’s Indonesian Idol, and also with Judika’s performance (I think he was from second season)…the two were worth seeing…but somehow the runner up sang more than the winner and I really don’t like her voice which is nothing special at all. I WAS SO BORED AND SCREAMED WE WANT DAVID COOK!!
Fortunately…when I was almost losing my mind, the opening act finally over. Thank God!! Read more of this post
Last Sunday (June 1, 2012) I went to another Japanese Matsuri, it was 縁日祭 (Ennichisai)…I always enjoy Japanese Matsuri because of many things, one of them is the Cosplayers.
For those who don’t know what cosplay is, it’s a Japanese term for people who likes to dress up as anime or manga or game characters. Nowadays, even the western world adopted the term. Japanese are people who like to shorten English terms, such as Convenient Store becomes Kombini. Cosplay originated from Costume Player.
Here are 13 cosplayers that I like so much in no particular order: (To Know more about Ennichisai, please see >>PAGE 2<< )
IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING CONCERT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!
Gw dah sering bilang kalo dulu cuma suka sama Muse tapi jadi cinta setelah liat mereka konser…tapi L’Arc~en~Ciel adalah band yang gw cintai lebih dari semua band yang ada di dunia ini bahkan sebelum gw liat konser mereka…dan sekarang setelah liat….GUE MAKIN CINTA SAMA MEREKA!!
Buat gw, mereka akan selalu menjadi band TERHEBAT diantara semua band di dunia ini dan akan menjadi band TERFAVORIT gw sepanjang masa.
Aduh…bingung rasanya mau mulai darimana, semua masih terasa bagaikan mimpi indah yang tidak ingin berakhir…konsernya LUAR BIASA!!! TAK BISA DIUNGKAPKAN DENGAN KATA-KATA2…dan lebih kerennya lagi … GW DAPAT APA YANG GW INGINKAN!!! GW ADA DI BARISAN DEPAN NEMPEL SAMA PEMBATAS …GYAAAAAAA…. MEREKA DEKAT BUANGET!!!!

Gw cuma 2 meteran dr Hyde, sayangnya dr Yuki ttp aja jauh
Hyde itu luar biasa cantiknya!!! sumpah deh gw ga pernah liat cowok secantik dia dan bahkan lebih cantik dr kebanyakan cewek yang pernah gw liat. Udah cantik suaranya juga merdu bgt….dan itu bajunya ya!!! gyaaaa gw langsung teriak begitu chikubinya terlihat….gyaaa fangirl mode on!!
Dan YUKI…aaaaaaaa Yukiiiii!!! Luar biasa guanteng…aaaaaa gw pengen teriak teriak mulu tiap liat Yuki. Aduh itu bisep bikin gw mau pingsan!! kalo kedengaran teriakan cempreng “Yuki Daisuki” itu gw yang teriak hahaha.
Tetchan putiiiih banget deh, kayaknya dia yang paling putih…sampai kemerahan gitu. Senangnya liat dia sering mampir-mampir ke depan gw walaupun gw lebih berada di depan Hyde. Sayangnya gw ga bisa banyak liat Ken karena gw emang lebih kesisi Tetchan drpd Ken.
Tapi…jelas perhatian gw terfokus pada Hyde dan Yuki 
Karena sudah menanti selama 11 tahun, gw ga pengen ngabisin waktu gw dengan moto dan ngerekam. Gw nikmati setiap detiknya dengan mata kepala ini dan merekamnya selamanya di otak. Karena itu, gw pake foto2 dari internet aja Read more of this post

IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING CONCERT I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!
I often said that I like Muse but then I love Muse after I saw their concert…but L’Arc~en~Ciel is the band I have already loved with all my heart even before I saw the concert…and now that I have seen their concert…I LOVE THEM BEYOND WORDS!!
They will always be the best band in the whole wide world for me
Ow…I don’t know where to begin, I still feel like I am in a dream…a dream that I wish never to stop…the concert was SUPER AMAZING!!! And to top it all…I GOT WHAT I WANT!!! I WAS THERE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE STAGE, CLINGING TO THE BARRIER…. GYAAAAAAAAAAA… they were so f*ckin close!!!

I stand about 2 meters from Hyde!!! Gyaaaaa, it was unbelievable!! He is even more beautiful in real life…ow my God, how could You create the prettiest man alive to have such beautiful voice? He is prettier than most woman I have seen!! And right behind Hyde is Yuki….aaaaaaaaaahhhh!!! Yuki is incredibly handsome, and those biceps…oh my God, I am speechless! Ken is enjoying the concert despite of the heat. Ken is always Ken! Techan also often stood so close to me, ow he is sooooo cute!!! But…my attention was mostly toward Yuki and Hyde
Because I have been waiting for them for 11 years, I don’t feel like taking any photo and video of their live, I want to enjoy every minute second of the concert with my own eyes and ears, I didn’t want to be distract by taking my mobile and shot the concert. They won’t allow camera but even if there was no such rule, I still had no intention to take pictures…therefore I am relying on the internet to provide me with photos Read more of this post
You have come a long way
Everything is for today君へと夢は今 目の前で煌めいてる
花弁の舞降るような雪が祝福した(The dream for you is now sparkling before your eyes
It’s blessed by snow falling like petals)
By the time I posted this, the concert is only … hours away
I am crazy with anticipation. I can’t even say much here!! I am lost for words…all I want to do is dream about tomorrow…the day where I can finally admit that DREAMS DO COME TRUE.
Today we changed our ticket voucher into real ticket…my friends and I were super excited.
Here’s the situation on Raja Karcis, where we changed our voucher with real ticket:
We opened it straight away
Because I have VIP Package, I received one towel and one ID card that I can keep forever…and of course a place to stand so damn close to the stage Read more of this post
