Haley is voted off and they are stupid.


America made another mistake.
Haley's Top 3 performance singing
Fleetwood Mac (Stevie Nicks)'s "Rhiannon"

Haley Reinhart, an amazing young woman who has an amazing voice. She auditioned twice for American Idol and she finally got in to the top 13 in this season of American Idol. 
She's been in the bottom 3 several times, but it didn't change my mind about Haley.
She's the only contestant I'm rooting for this season after Thia, Pia, Casey and Jacob were (shockingly) eliminated. She deserves a place in the final two! She should've won!

And now, she's eliminated.


The only contestants left now are Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina,
(I'm fine with Scotty, but Lauren?)
..........................Pia has a big "diva" voice, and she managed to control her voice with all of those techniques, emotions, crescendos-decrescendos, accented note, pitch.
And Haley, has unique voice, soulful voice, she got swags in every week. She tried it all, country rock, blues, classic rock, jazz, contemporary which is amazing. 

While Lauren? ..............................................seriously, America? (is this some kind of a joke?)'
Yeah, she's got the voice, that big voice,
but her voice seems doesn't give a chill at all. Her voice is so damn big and whenever I hear she sings, she's always so-so. she's just okay. (in fact, many people aside from her fans think that if Simon's still on Idol, he'll say Lauren is a karaoke singer who has a great voice and doesn't give anything more than that for America)


I CAN'T BELIEVE HALEY'S ELIMINATED

If you put an egg on my head, it'll be cooked in less than a minute.
I feel like I wanna grab the judges' microphones, and say:
"Hey, you know what? American Idol 10 is so fucked up this year. 
Need better judges who can encourage the nation to vote for the better one.
And at least don't be too neutral. 
The judges are so weak this season, weaker than last year's. Millions vote are coming, but the result,
the winner is the idol of a big group of fans, not the whole nation's idol."

(I'm going to act like Kanye West when he stole Taylor Swift's mic in MTV VMA)


I'd like to say one thing....
HALEY KEPT HER SMILE AND TRIED TO NOT CRY. SHE WAS STRONG. I JUST LOVE HER MORE. 
WE'RE GONNA MISS YOU, HALEY-BABY :')


Anton Medan is coming to my home?

Recognize this man?










I didn't know about him until my mom told me

HE IS PLANNING TO VISIT MY HOME (TO SEE MY GRANDMA) . . .

He is Anton Medan,
he was a bandit (a very very very bad guy) but he became muallaf and he now owns a Pesantren/Mosque. He was famous because of his story, his life, and he's rumored to be involved with the 1998 tragedy.


I thought our family didn't have any connection with him,
but apparently we do have.


He stayed in my grandma's house in TSS, Jakarta and he used to help my grandma a lot.
He already visited two of my grandma's daughters in Jakarta and he's planning to visit our house.


Am I happy about this?
I FREAKED OUT WHEN I HEARD THIS. 
CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST HEARD D'''': 
I'm just not ready =.=

Listen to Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" album

The album is coming on May 23rd,
I found this link on random search on Twitter since one of my friend was talking about
all of the songs.
I was crazy and excited to listen to all songs in Born This Way album

This is the link: [link] ,
what do you think?

My favorite so far is Born This Way, Judas, The Edge of Glory, Americano, Electric Chapel and Scheiße!

HAPPY VESAK DAY!

Siddhārtha Gautama  is known as the founder of Buddhism in this world.
He was born to this world, received enlightenment, became Buddha and parinibanna* at the same time. And those moments were called as Vesak Day. 
Buddhists don't celebrate this day like when Christians/Catholics'Jews celebrate Christmas etc, but they use this time to remember the life of Buddha, his teachings, and to introspect ourselves as human.
I'm really glad that I was taught formally about his teachings for almost three years in school.
I couldn't imagine what would I be if I didn't choose Buddhism as my religion for some reasons.
My mind keeps growing to be better, I'm more able to control myself now than three or five or seven years ago.
I don't know about whether my friends, my family notices but I'm feeling better now. 
but I often do things awkwardly.....

(like you know, I said wrong thing or sensitive thing when people greets me, ask me whether did I able to do the test or something like that. It's just frightening me, okay. Misjudging and misunderstanding could burdened my life...)


*reached Nibanna/Nirvana; a state where we achieved the highest hapiness, a state of being free from dukkha, being free from rebirth in the next life after meditation or "purify" our mind to destroy all bad karmas we've done in our life or our past life, pass away or likely a euphemism for death.

I'M WISHING EVERYBODY A GREAT LIFE, PEACE AND CALM MIND AND ALSO GOOD KARMAS FOR A BETTER LIFE

9raders had a lot of fun today!

9raders just had their last sabbatical day today!
The actual sabbatical days were supposed to be last week, but since we were having semester 2 exams last week, Ms. Inun decided to use one day of this week as our last sabbatical day.

We finally free from exams after we've been waiting for about four/five months.

One word for a man who inspires me: ANGEL

Nothing he could really see
but nothing he cannot feel
and nothing he cannot imagine
He speaks and touches the world with his voice
With a voice of an angel
He is one of the most gifted person in this world

In an honor for a great man,
I'm so blessed when I listen to his voice
He is part of my childhood, that I'll never forget
I've been longing to see him
I was literally dying when I didn't get to see him






Arrivederci. Ci vediamo piu tardi
Ti amo, Andrea Bocelli.

@ladygaga and @mKiK808

Wo knows her? 
Everybody knows her. 
She's like the coolest, one the most brilliant and gifted person ever to walk on this planet.
She is a mother to millions of monsters around the world.
She's still 25 and she has it all.
She is more than AWESOME. 

but what about the guy next to her?











Who knows him?

Well, before I proceed to the main thing I wanna talk about, let me introduce him first.

MARK KANEMURA. 
He was So You Think You Can Dance season 4 contestant and he's my favorite Season 4 contestant! (and Comfort lol)
As an aspiring dancer, I'm sure he always perform great everytime, check YouTube if you would like to watch his dance routines on SYTYCD)

One of my favorite hip-hop routine in SYTYCD "Bleeding Love"

He returned to SYTYCD as Season 7's ALL STAR DANCER

And he appeared on Glee Season 2's 2nd episode "Britney/Brittany"


He also appeared in the Glee 2x18 "Born This Way" episode as one of the dancer involved in the Duck Sauce's "Barbra Streissand" flashmob in the mall with other glee kids. 

(I'll try my best to screen-capture the flashmob scene on glee to let you see haha)

*He is not the only SYTYCD dancer who has appeared on glee,
Courtney Galiano, Nathan Tsasoras and Dominick have also appeared on glee :)
The thing i love about Gaga is that she is not just an artist, she is a leader. She is the "mother monster" to the "little monsters", she is the light for people that are in the dark, she is the voice for people who feel afraid to speak"-- Mark Kanemura 

Want More Gaga-Kanemura?








and I am their shipper!
HE IS NEVER TOO FAR AWAY FROM LADY GAGA!


THAT'S RIGHT, BITCHES! lol
