Ina, Dashboard Confessional - My First Live Concert

Pertama kali tau bahwa Dashboard Confessional mau dateng ke Indonesia, Jakarta lebih tepatnya dan tiketnya sangat murah (hanya menukarkan Ponds : oh POND'S semoga makin laku karena dia baik sekali mau mengundang dashboard dan bikin konser dengan harga sangat terjangkau seperti ini). Yang ada dipikiranku adalah OH MY GOD, this is my chance to see a foreign band concert, LIVE!!

*Ahh pingin nulis pake bahasa inggris jadinya.. hehe

So, i thought that i couldn't see this concert. Because my friend already bought POND's and changed that to the tickets.. and mine not counted to those tickets. But, however, some of my friends canceled their arrival to the concert, and suddenly my mom allowed me to watch that concert (it's like it is mean to be.. like fate) and... officially, i said i will go to the concert to Ina, my friend who's been really in love to Dashboard Confessional since her junior high school. (Just like how my feeling to weezer..hiks) So we planned to go to the Venue (Senayan) together on 29th may,2010. I was in Jakarta that day, so Ina and friends waited for me to come at somewhere in Pancoran..

We are all so excited when we arrived to the venue, not to mention Ebonk who's been late for Zigaz performance.. Ebonnk we are so sorry.. :(
It's already 5.30 pm when we together entered the gate, so the event called a break for like 20 minutes. After we bought some foods and beverages, because we are hungry and thirsty, leaded by Ebonk we slowly walked through the crowd, like a snake, till we are in front of the stage!!! Really in front of the stage!!!! even i could touch the security border!!

We have to go through the Changcutrangers that really crazy, they dance like mad..but whatever.. its a LIVE concert anyway.. and we have Randi who's been guarding us all time at concert. SO i have no worry at all. Thank you so much Randi :) We danced, we've been crazy.. for that time.. Nidji was cool last night. Giring (Vocal) finally showed me some charm at the stage, i never that like into Nidji, but i really love their performance last night. He did that.. the moshing. ohh its cool.. and he is really charming..

The MC were soo wasted time.. but that's not their fault, except they DIDN'T know the DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL's SONGS. I must say, It's a shame, really. I would say for a better mc, that they should do some research before working on the stage, at least they know 1,2 or 3 songs of them. OH GOD, how come they didn't do some research. And, also they did some jokes to the stage staffs.. but maybe for me it's a lil bit cheesy..

After we all keep silence because we're so boring to the MC.. hahaahaha.. finally they said that sentence, 'Ponds teen concert present Dashboard Confessional...' i know that time,, that my friend Ina,, she is so excited.. finally her dream come true.. Watch her idol, LIVE.. I see her face, her excited-face, her dream-come-true-face.. it's so nice, i feel like i was happy too.. The first song was Don't Wait..
Really.. its cool.. after that song, i have to admit, that i didn't know much songs.. But again, Ina sings alllllll songs.. except of course the weezer's El scorcho! Chris Carabba said before sang that song, it is their friend that told them to come to jakarta.. (and that time, i have not realized yet)



I don't remember enough, how many exactly Dashboard Confessional sang the songs that night..But, my friend, Wina, told me that she's been counting, that was 15 songs! ooopss Not 15, INA just said to me when i was typing this post.. that was 17 songs.. or maybe 18!!!!!!!!
Of course included Vindicated, Belle Of The Boulevard, Hands Down, Learn from Disaster, I know about you, ohh they are so awesome..



Chris Carabba proved that he is a nice uncle.. a really sweet person..
After, DC suddenly say thank you.. and went to backstage.. and we all think.. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.. and we started to scream: WE WANT MORE..WE WANT MORE...
and suddenly again.. they came..to the stage.. he took his nephew's school project and took our picture with it.. because he said that his nephew asked him to take a picture with it at the far place.. as far as possible.. and he said that jakarta is the place where he thinks far enough.. I remembered how ina's face after Chris Carabba took a picture of us.. the audiences.. "Oh My GODDDD!!! CHRIS CARABBA TAKE MY PICTURE!!! OHH MY GOD!!" hahahha.. it was so unbelievable feeling for her..and i really happy too..

Finally, That awesome performance closed by Hands Down.. i thought of that so..Because many of us like that songs.. and it is the fact that.. we only know few songs.. and hands down is the most wanted song i think..and finally.. the fire on the stage was come.. and...

There was a fireworks too at closing!!!!!!! OHH HOW I LOVE FIREWORKS.. i smile.. for a moment.. i feel so silence when i watched fireworks..

We all really have fun that night..But, Poor Randi... he got his phonecell lost... :( :(
i hope randi will get a better Phone!! the more high-tech phone!!

And, after we get to the car to going home.. that time.. when we talked about the concert..Lele told me.. the saddest fact.. Weezer has come to jakarta. THAT'S WHY CHRIS CARABBA SANG EL SCORCHO.. :'( ... i'm happy to watch DC. BUT I REALLY WANNA CRY that i have absolutely no idea when WEEZER came to jakarta!!! :(
I really sad! hiks...

Well GOD.. is it too greedy for me if i asked WEEZER once again to come to jakarta? I REALLY WANT TO WATCH THEIR LIVE CONCERT.. :( :(
last night was my first time experience to attending the live concert of rock band.. and its unbelievable-awesome-feeling.. i couldn't tell how happy and exciting i was.. but its really GREAT!!!! Finally i know why they all spend so much money to but a foreign band ticket. Because it is. The feeling. The charm of them. The experience to see them perform. A good band must be performed AMAZING at their LIVE concert. Aaaaahh.. finally i experienced this feeling.. I am so happy.. SO excited.. and oh no.. im addicted..



I really thanked to Ina.. who care for asking me.. if i want to take the ticket to watch dashboard confessional with her and friends.. :) :) who let me experienced my first time live concert.. :) Inaa.. thank you :) really :)

here is her blog: http://aqmarina-andira.blogspot.com/

ohhh how lucky she is..
:)

GOD.. please hear my pray.. i want Weezer.. and coldplay too..
*am i sure im not greedy?*

Grey's Anatomy

aku lupa, apa sudah pernah buat tulisan tentang serial tivi ini atau belum. Thanks to Prilla, yang udah mengenalkanku sama serial ini. Bener katanya, kata-kata yang ada di serial ini emang bikin aku selalu suka. Karena baru saja menghabiskan 24 episode di season 6, aku jadi pingin banget nulis tentang serial ini.


Episode 23 'Sanctuary' dan 24 'Death and All His Friends', merupakan episode ter... *speechless* yang pernah kutonton di serial ini. Perasaanku bener-bener campur aduk. Takut. Sedih. Gemeteran. Ya bener, aku bener-bener gemeteran nonton episode itu. Dengan kepergian Katherine Heigl as Dr. Izzie Stevens dari Grey's, sebenernya merupakan awal yang bikin aku agak males nontonnya. tapi lama-lama aku mulai terbiasa tanpa dia. Aneh. Biasanya, kalo ada tokoh yang aku suka tiba-tiba ga main lagi aku jadi males nonton pasti.. tapi ini aku tetep nonton serial itu. Dan aku bener, serial ini bener-bener gila.

Prolog dan epilog di setiap episode Grey's lah bagian yang paling kusuka dari serial ini. Kata-kata yang diucapkan pada prolog dan epilog itu selalu "ngena", selalu tepat sasaran. Emang bener-bener jago yang bikin scriptnya.. Kehidupan surgeon disini terlihat sangat gila. Aku selalu ikut deg-degan kalo mereka lagi mau operasi. Aku selalu berharap kalo mereka lagi di meja operasi dan si pasien sedang sekarat, bahwa si pasien itu akan hidup. Buat serial tentang kehidupan rumah sakit, Aku paling suka serial ini.

Entah season 7 bakal kayak gimana. Yang jelas aku cukup lega dengan endingnya season 6. Kualitas akting setiap karakter di Grey's tambah lama tambah bersinar. 125 episode, dan aku ga pernah bosen menontonnya. Aku ga pernah ngira bakal bisa setahan itu. tapi, yap disinilah aku, mengagumi serial tv ini. Mengagumi Ellen Pompeo, Patrick Dempsey, Sandra Oh, Eric Dane, dan lain-lain. Capek banget nonton 2 episod terakhir. emosi ku bener-bener kebawa disini. aku sampe nangis2. oh my God. kuharap mereka ga bakalan lama2 bikin season 7.

i will miss Grey's so much....

final test.. is it really final?

Bulan mei ini adalah bulan yang penuh dengan UAS.
hwaaaaaaaaaaaaaahh.. kepala rasanya mau pecah karena diselipi oleh TA juga.
atau TA yang diselipi oleh UAS.. entahlah... pokoknya begitu.

ternyata mengerjakan TA bukan seperti mengerjakan tugas lain yang biasanya. mengerjakan TA pressure nya lebih besar, jauuuuh dibandingkan dengan tugas lainnya.
karena pertama. ngerjainnya harus sendirian, jarang bisa nemu partner diskusi yang bisa nyambung. trus harus tahan menghadapi masa-masa melawan kemalasan diri sendiri, seperti yang lagi kualami sekarang.. laluu, harus tahan dengan karakter dosen pembimbing,yang kadang bikin ngerasa kita begooo banget. arggghhh...

kalo kata mama... ngerjain TA itu harus sabar dan tekun. astaga.. bukan aku banget.
hyahahahahhahaha.

gimana ini? kepala mau pecah.... hikss...

huuh. yah begitulah. hanya ingin mengeluh...
hari ini. kepala ku sakit.. dan harus baca dan baca lagi. dan baca lagi. kenapa aku ga begitu suka baca yaa.. aku lebih suka melihat.
hahahahha
kacau....

doakan TA saya segera selesai yaa.. siapapun yang baca blog ini. hehehe
oya oyaa..
aku pinginnnn sekali ke hotel Alila di uluwatu bali.
tempatnya keren bgt bgt bgt bgt bgt bgt

harus bisa kesana some day..
amiiiiiiiiiiin

keep holding on it

Kali ini, akan digunakan kata 'saya' bukan 'aku'..

Semua. Hampir semua orang-orang yang menginspirasi saya akan mengatakan 'lakukan lah apa yang kamu mau, apa yang benar-benar kamu inginkan'...
tapi sampai kapan kita benar-benar yakin bahwa 'itu' adalah yang kita mau?
saya sendiri sejujurnya masih abstrak terhadap keinginan hidup saya.
apa yang saya inginkan, apa yang saya pelajari, apa yang menjadi obsesi saya. semua nya tidak ada yang bergandengan.. semua nya egois ingin jalan sendiri-sendiri..
hampir dipastikan, bahwa saya hanya akan menjadi pegawai setelah saya lulus nanti. rasanya saya ingin menyerah. tapi ketika saya kembali melihat dunia dan sekeliling saya, saya mengurungkan niat saya untuk menyerah.

jika memang saya belum yakin terhadap apa yang saya ingini, saya seharusnya tetap mencarinya. tetap setia, dan bersabar. tapi saya takut terjerumus atau terjebak dalan terowongan gelap itu.

saya memang takut. takut terhadap pandangan orang-orang. saya ingin menjadi orang yang tidak peduli akan hal itu, tapi saya tidak bisa. apa kata mereka jika saya bilang pada mereka apa yang ingin saya lakukan sebenarnya. mungkin, karena saya juga masih mempunyai banyak pilihan, jadi saya juga belum terlalu memikirkan keinginan saya tersebut. tetapi yang saya sedih adalah, saya merasa waktu dan kesempatan saya untuk mencoba semua hal terasa kurang. atau bahkan tidak ada.

di saat seperti ini. ingin sekali rasanya saya mempunya konsultan spiritual pribadi yang bisa diajak berdiskusi tentang ini. hoh Tuhan.. apa yang sebenarnya harus saya lakukan? apakah untuk tetap bertahan saja? bagaimana saya memulai?
saya tidak mengerti cara memulai sesuatu.

Tuhan, tolong saya..
saya bingung.

things i want

banyaaaaaaaaaaak sekalii kepinginanku.. hehhehehee
ide awal membuat post ini adalah kalimat di atas. mungkin saat ini aku memang tidak dapat memenuhinya, tapi someday.. i just want to do it all.. alll alllllll!!!!!

1. buy camera. yep. without camera my travelling will be just in my head. and what i want is to share it with all my friends, or not friends.. everyone. so i need camera. selain itu, sering banget aku liat pemandangan yang indah-indah, rasanya pingiinnnn bgt moto itu. tapi aku ga punya kamera. hiks hiks. trus juga kalau lagi kumpul bersama teman-teman. rasanya pingin mengabadikan seluruh momen itu dengan kamera.. huuhuhuhu.. kalo diinget-inget, sebenernya di rumah ada kamera jadul yang pake film itu sih. tapi kayaknya udah rusak.. lagipula aku pingin kamera yang bisa liat hasilnya itu lhoo.. trus aku juga pingin punya kamera SLR. karena motret orang itu menyenangkan..hahahahah

2. nonton konser musik luar. whuaaaaaaaaaa.. aku pingin sekali nonton konser orang-orang bule itu. terutama konsernya band favoritku.. macem coldplay, weezer heuheu.. tapi apalah daya.. tiket konser tuh mahal bgt.. i cannot afford it. :( oyaa.. aku juga pinginnnn bgt nonton konser aerosmith..hahaha (seandainya sajaa bisa..wong oasis aja udah bubar.. hiks) semoga weezer ga bubar sampe aku nonton konsernya.. coldplay jugaa..

3. have iPod. hmmm tadinya aku merasa benda ini gak begitu penting. tapi kalo dipikir-pikir. enak juga punya iPod. kalo di travel bisa sambil denger lagu favorit. kalo lagi lari bisa sambil ada lagunya. kalo lagi mati gaya bisa dengerin lagu..asik kan.. dan lagi-lagii iPod mahal. jadinya aku ga punyaa dech.. hiks. coba aku salah satu undangan pernikahan nia dan ardi..pasti dapet iPod shuffle gratis..hehehe lumayan banget kan tuh.

4. punya video recorder. yeah.. aku bener-bener pingin punya video recorder buat bikin film-film an. si zulmi kayaknya udah sering bikin film. mungkin nanti aku bisa tanya bagaimana cara mengoperasikan video recorder.. seru banget kalo bisa bikin dokumentasi dalam bentuk film. kayak papanya nina si geofg di youtube.. yang mendokumentasikan little nina yang sangat lucu itu.. aku juga pingin bikin kayak gitu.. ato malahan bisa bikin short amateur movie yang menginspirasi seperti cerita-cerita di film nya cpil..hehehhehe

5. pingin travelling ke luar negeri. dari sejak bayi aku udah pingiiiiiiin banget jalan-jalan ke luar negeri. hehehee. lebayy. yah tapi kira-kira gitulah. entah kenapa kepingin sekali. aku pingin foto-foto di luar negeri.. pingin jalan-jalan trus ngomong segala bahasa sama orang-orang.. bahasa inggris, jepang, prancis, korea, italy, yunani, arab, rusia, spanyol, belanda, huwwaaa.. menyenangkan sekaliii :D

yeahh itulah 5 hal yang selaluu kuinginkan dalam keseharian ini.. tapi sangat sulit untuk kuwujudkan. maksudnya bener-bener sulit. jadiii apabila nanti aku sudah kaya dan punya banyak uang (amiiiiiiin) aku akan segera mewujudkan keinginan-keinginanku ini..

atau ada yang mau membantuku mewujudkan keinginanku ini?

anyone?

hehehhehe
