Setahun sudah ...

Hei, tidak terasa kembang api kembali menggelegar di langit
Menggeliat silih berganti dan menebarkan pesona kemewahan singkat
Tanda genap setahun perjalanan kantor "tempat saya mencari nafkah"

Tidak terasa juga setahun menjalani jungkir balik menjalani semua
Memulai dari awal, dengan tim asli, sampai menghadapi gonta-ganti personil
Semua penuh dengan cerita yang mungkin akan menjadi box office di benak saya sendiri

Well, it's hard to say "it's all fine"
Semuanya masih saya jalani, berharap bisa dan mampu memberikan kontribusi yang terbaik bagi tempat ini.
Selama masih dapat kesempatan dan menjadi rejeki.

Selamat merayakan 1 tahun, GrandCitySurabaya ...
Senang menjadi bagian perjalanan 'kelahiran'mu

Remember to play after every storm

When long time ago I saw this episode, remembered when tears in my eyes still recognized about it. He's Mattie Stepanek as an INDIGO boy (in my own opinion) that show me, and powdered me with blessed of health, love, life, and hope.

And I'm not surprised no more, when OPRAH listed him onto her All-Time Favorite Guest, because he's really deserved to get it. Well here's the official statement from Oprah Winfrey about Mattie, that you should know at all...

Poet and peacemaker Mattie Stepanek was just 11 years old when he came into Oprah's life. They became instant friends, and even though he was just a small boy, his outlook on life was profound. "I want people to know my life philosophy: "To remember to play after every storm" Mattie once told Oprah.

Mattie was born with a rare form of muscular dystrophy, and he moved around with the help of a wheelchair and oxygen tanks. His mother, Jeni, also suffers from the debilitating disease and unknowingly passed it on to all four of her children—Mattie was her only child who lived past the age of 4.

Mattie wasn't bound by his physical limitations, and his brilliant mind allowed his spirit to soar. He used his incredible gift of insight to write poetry he called "Heartsongs" (text bellow) extending hope to people of all ages. "I really think I'm here for a purpose, because in my life I've had so many close calls to dying and I've come through them all," Mattie said. "I figured I have a purpose and I have to carry out that purpose."

On June 22, 2004, Mattie died in the arms of his mother at the age of 13. A few days later in his Maryland hometown, Oprah joined hundreds of Mattie's admirers to celebrate his life. When Mattie's hero, former President Jimmy Carter, spoke to the crowd, he said, "We have known kings and queens. We've known presidents and prime ministers. But the most extraordinary person whom I have ever known in my life was Mattie Stepanek."

__ HeartSong __

I have a song, deep in my heart,
and only I can hear it.
If I close my eyes and sit very still
it is so easy to listen to my song
When my eyes are open
and I am so busy and moving and busy,
if I take time and listen very hard,
I can still hear my heartsong.
It makes me feel happy.
Happier than ever.
Happier than everywhere,
and everything and everyone in the world.
Happy like thinking about
Going to Heaven when I die.
My heartsong goes like this-
I love you! I love you!
How happy can you be!
How happy can you make this whole world be!
And sometimes it's other
Tunes and words, too.
But it always sings the same special song.
But do you know what?
All people have a special song
Inside their hearts!
Everyone in the whole world has a special heartsong.
If you believe in magical, musical hearts.
And if you believe you can be happy
Then you, too, will hear your song.

Mattie J. Stepanek
1992-2004

Paris

Where's your vacation dream ?
PARIS - French

Why you really wanna go there?
Well, sounds good and looks nice of European culture which thick, a very beautiful language, and sometime vacation just considered a full tour when already photos in the Eiffel tower :)

What your plan ?
Mmmm okay, make a wish at the gates of the Arc de Triomphe, around the Champs de Elysess, Place de la Concorde, Des Invaldes, then complete it with dinner at the Eiffel Tower

But what really beautiful is, staying at the Hotel Notre Dame and got peach-tea in the afternoon, relax from the balcony o looking through outside ...sounds simple isn't it ? :)




Ps: like i said to my friend for CM magazine (out of June)

Meet the Indonesian Heartrob Diva, AGNES MONICA

Hey, it seems so loooong time i play this part.
Continuity is the hardest things to do in this zone

Beberapa waktu lalu, kantor nerima event perhelatan musik SOUND FEST - LA Light Indie Festival tanggal 23 April 2011 dimana jauh-jauh sebelumnya banyak rumor beredar tentang pengisi acara utama yang akan hadir di perhelatan event akbar itu.

DONE, tentu dengan segala power, koneksi, dan eh..gak juga ding, karena acara kantor tentu saja ALL ACCESS is the NORMAL things for me. Meski banyak temen-temen kantor juga gak bisa menikmati ALL ACCESS like ME :p

Antusias melihat fix performer : MCFLY (from UK) , Malliq d'essentials dan banyak lainnya yang sudahlah saya gak hapal dan gak terlalu penting :) 'coz the Indonesian heartrob-gal already to perform, yes she is AGNES MONICA...

then what so special ?
Hmmm, i've been dating with her for a while in the middle of crowd and private area :)
Yes, you know it...she's so perfect before the SHOW time, then nobody can disturb her private make-up room
this is my interview part with her...hmm dan called her interviewee, she's damn cool-friendly at all..


Agnes, apa kabar ?
Haha, kamu apa kabar ? tambah kurusan ;p (sambil ngakak)

Haha, aku gak mau ganggu lama-lama, cuma info aja, skr daku kerja disini ?

Pancake - Ladang Coffe

WHAT : Pancake

WHERE : Ladang Coffe ( near Dapur Cokelat ) Jl. Biliton 77 Surabaya

HOW : Harga 20rb. Nilai Rasa 3 (standar) mungkin karena hanya untuk optional menu karena kopi Kopi adalah yang utama. Dan mmm..agak terlalu lama menunggu meski dalam kondisi sepi antrian.

TEX SAVERIO

NEXT, this is my posting about someone who can create their own storyline. Dimana ada perpaduan antara bakat + kesempatan yang jarang dan tidak dimiliki semua orang, dan tentunya mereka ini generasi muda yang patut menjadi inspirasi banyak orang, yang kadang mereka masih dipertanyakan, "Siapa Dia ?"

Kali ini sosok TEX SAVERIO, kiranya tepat menjadi perbincangan dan perlu diperhatikan :)

Rio panggilannya, menjadi perbincangan karena karyanya, ya benar..KARYA. Rancangan pakaiannya berhasil mencuri perhatian HARPER'S BAZAAR Amerika untuk bulan Mei mendatang. Dan yang membuat nama Rio semakin menjadi hit list dalam Google, karena pakaian tersebut dikenakan Mother Monster,

Lady Gaga.

Difoto oleh Terry Richardson, GAGA memakai karya menakjubkan dalam sheer gown bertabur embellishments karya Tex Saverio, desainer muda berbakat yang masih berusia 26 tahun dari Indonesia yang disejajarkan dengan nama besar Alexander McQueen, Thierry Mugler, Versace, Dior dan Francesco Scognamiglio yang rancangannya juga dikenakan GAGA.

pakaian karya RIO

Pria yang menggunakan nama SAVERIO sebagai label pada tiap kreasinya ini, memang terhitung baru dalam lika-liku dunia fashion. Ia baru saja lulus dari pendidikannya di Bunka School of Fashion Jakarta pada tahun 2004. Rio merupakan salah satu dari sepuluh finalis Fashion Designers Contest yang prestisius pada tahun 2005 dan juga memenangkan Mercedes-Benz Asia Fashion Award di tahun yang sama.

Pada tahun 2010 berhasil memikat semua mata dengan gaun-gaunnya yang fantastis di Jakarta Fashion Week dan terpilih sebagai salah satu ksatria mode majalah Dewi. Sekali lagi, Rio membuktikan kepiawaiannya mengolah material menjadi koleksi bernapas avant garde, kombinasi imajinasi dan fantasi. Lewat La Glacons yang berarti “The Icicles”, Rio kembali memaku perhatian tamu undangan, mengembalikan mode ke jalur haute couture yang pamornya mulai menurun.

this houte-couture, so amazing

Rio benar bisa menjadi "contoh" para desainer yang mulai "menua" yang kadang terlalu banyak membuang waktu dan dimakan nama besarnya saja, dan terkikis kemampuannya membuat karya yang benar-benar menjadi perhatian.

Goodluck Rio, Indonesia proud of you ...

give me strength
