Reminiscing Saturday

When I'm in love, it means something.
But if I feel nothing, then I'm out of love.

Addicted to coffee





This is way tooooo bad for me. I became a very addicted coffee person. This is not good. So not good. Help. :'(

My office was on fired






Yesterday, the basement floor at my office building was on fired. The smoke was really bad! We all got panic, and had evacuated. And at 4 pm, we all got home after had an instruction from the building management. The building was closed for a while, because the electricity was still turned off. Well, I hope on Monday, everything will back in normal.

The piano player



This beautiful white piano was belong to the talented musician, John Lennon. I think The Beatles Museum kept this piano. Such a memorable thing!

Stereo Hearts - Gym Class Heroes featuring Adam Levine

I like this song a lot. It's so easy listening, and Adam Levine was on the video also. I think it's great if he sing a little bit R & B like this. Fyi, today, I cannot stop singing the chorus part "‎"My heart's a stereo, it beats for you so listen close. Hear my thoughts in every no-o-o-te" :)



 
Use Somebody - Kings Of Leon
 
This song is epic! I've been listening to this song (again) lately. But too bad there's no the official video. This all that I've got from Youtube ;)
 
 
Soon - Moonpools and Caterpillars
 
Oh maaaan, I've been humming this song for about a week, especially the first line "Ooooh, it's said and done. Oooh, I'm not the only one". I really forgot who was the singer, and I've tried to Googled it, but still I cannot find it. Then I asked my friend, Icha (because she knoooows all the good songs). After about 10 minutes, she found it on Google, and she said that the singer is Moonpools and Caterpillars. Phew! I loooove this song. Bring back the 1997's :)

Hello there,

I got a new friend, the name is Influenza but you can call it Flu. The flu is also brought the other friends, and their names are headache and fever. They always makes me sneezing all the time. In fact, I got this awkward face everytime I feel like I want to sneeze, but then it goes away. I really don't like these new annoying friends. I just wish they will be leaving soon, and never bother me again. Never.

Bye,
Ovi the flu girl

I have to go here someday :')

Halloween fever


I used to not celebrated Halloween. Because I don't like spooky things and don't like something about ghosts, witches, frankenstein, mummy, or anything that creepy and scares me. But this year, I don't know where this feeling came from, suddenly I was like really excited about the hallow's eve, that always celebrate every 31st October. It's like I really wanna do trick or treat and going to the costume party and meet people with their weird and unique costumes. Seeing creepy pumpinks on everyone houses. Then feel the horror atmosphere and hoping there will be witches flying in the sky. Weird, eh?
Too bad maybe I cannot find those moment here. Because Halloween was not an important eve we have to celebrated. But If only Halloween is one of the big day we HAVE to celebrate, I think I'm going to collect all of these cutest things.












Then I'm sure Halloween will be more cuter then ever :)

Genius writers


I like writing and reading good books. Because those things are my passions. Somehow, I think that my life and one of the books that I love were kinda same. Writing is like talking. And I really like the swirl and the swing of words as they tangle with human emotions. So that's why I have my own favorites writers. I think they all genius. Because they've wrote those beautiful words, and made me feel what they feel. Let's see who's on my favorite genius writers list :

1. Paulo Coelho

    
Paulo Coelho is a writer that has a very nice and logic stories. I've read The Witch Of Portobello, Brida, The Alchemist, El Zahir, Eleven Minutes, and The Winner Stands Alone. All of his books are great. My favorite is The Witch Of Portobello. He's also the owner of Paulo Coelho Institute, which is provides financial support to Creche Escola Meninos da Luz, Lar Paulo de Tarso (in the Pavão-Pavãozinho favela, Rio de Janeiro), who look after these 430 children. I also love his quotes. And I always Retweed it them on Twitter everytime I read one of his beautiful words.

2. Nicholas Sparks.

 Nicholas Sparks is my favorite love story writer ever! If you already read The Notebook, A Walk To Remember, The Last Song and Dear John,  I'm sure you already seen the movies also. There is something that Nicholas always write on his books. I think he always high on love. That's why he can write  a very sweet stories, whether have a happy or not happy ending. My most favorite story is The Notebook. I guess we can't find the meaning of true love before you know this story. It's a very sweet and toucy story.

3. Jostein Gaarder

 
 The genius writer from Olso, Norwegian Jostein Gaarder. My favorite book ever is Sophie's World. The story was epic! Makes me breathless. I really don't understand why he can wrote such a very nice, genius, unbelivable, unpredictable story like that. What was on his mind? But you should read The Orange Girl and The Solitaire Mystery also. And you will find a very Viking, Norwegian story from him.

4. Khalil Gibran


If you are a romantic person, then I'm sure you will like this Arabian writer, Khalil Gibran. Just read the books of Broken Wings, Music, Spirit Brides, The Prophet, The Earth Gods, Sand & Foam, and many more, you will find a very romantic and full of love story with nice poems and quotes. Every women must be in love with his poems. Khalil's words can make you think and cry in the same time.

5. Seno Gumira Adjidarma

 This writer from Indonesia Seno Gumira Adjidarma, also has a very sweet romantic love story everytime he wrote his books. My favorites are Sepotong Senja Untuk Pacarku and Sebuah Pertanyaan Tentang Cinta. It's like Seno's really can understand what reader feels. Everytime I read a short story, Senja Hitam Putih, I imagine how does it feel if this world were only Black and White? Oh, by the way, Seno's is my dad's bestfriend. And his son, Timur Angin, is my friend. He's one of the talented photographer and writer also. Same as his dad.

6. William Shakespeare

"To be or not to be, that is the question" Who doesn't know this famous quote from William Shakespeare, the unforgetable writer and poet from England. If you a poetry lovers and a daydream person, then I'm sure you will like A Midsummer Nights Dream, Romeo & Juliet, Hamlet, Julius Caesar and Macbeth. Every words that he made, will take you're breath away.
7. Sori Siregar


Last but not least, this is one of my favorite genius writer and also my favorite man. Yes, he is my dad, Sori Siregar. No wonder I also love writing and books. Well, it's a blood thing you know. My favorite stories are Wanita Itu Adalah Ibu, Kisah Abrukuwah, Sang Aktris and Suatu Ketika Dalam Hidup Ini, that he wrote when my older sister got married. Nothing more I can say except I love him, I adore him and I'm proud of him.



Once, wise man says : "The pages are still blank, but there is a miraculous of the words being there. Written in invisible ink and clamoring to become visible"







Meet my new crush :)

Hey people, meet my new crush here. His name is Ryan Gosling. When I saw him on a movie The Notebook, I know that he really got a nice acting. That moment I just like his acting, that's all.Because I love the character of Noah. And when I saw him on Blue Valentine, I was like "Wow this guy was great! And cool also". And theeeen..when I saw him on Drive, I am so more into him. After that, he got this movies, Crazy, Stupid, Love and The Ides Of March. You can see his acting was totally great!. He has a band name Dead Man Bones with his bestfriend. He can sing, play guitar, ukulele, and piano.When I saw his interviews on Youtube, he really sweet and down to earth. That's the reason why I call him my new crush :)


Oh by the way, he's a Scorpio. Same as me :)

Stop by Spice Girls

I miss Spice Girls lately. I think they're the best pop girl band ever! They're fun, attractive, wild, creative and a very good entertainer. I used to like Emma Bunton, or people used to called her Baby Spice. I think this song is fun and sounds happy. I remember, once when I was at Senior High, I got this exam going. Because my friends and I were so nervous about the exam, suddenly we tried to calmed ourselves. Then we sang this song, and dancing around like were on the Spice Girls' video. It was soooo fun! And the good news was, we all passed the exam. Because the exam was not that hard. Thanks Spice Girls :)


Coldplay & Oasis - Yellow

I just found out this video on Youtube! Holy crap this was totally aweose!! My two favorites band collaborated, and sang my favorite song. Nothing more I can say, expect coooooooool!!!!

Too sexy to be true

Omagah! You should see Adam Levine and his Russian girlfriend, Anne Vyalitsyna on the photo shoot video and the photos for Vogue Russia, November 2011.  








This one is my FAVORITE
But all I know is, right now they already broke up. So I gues these photos was the last photos that had been taken when they're still a couples. Sad sad.

Bicycle

I want to ride my bicycle

I want to ride my bike
I want to ride my bicycle
I want to ride it where I like
You say black I say white
You say bark I say bite
You say shark I say hey man
Jaws was never my scene
And I don't like Star Wars
You say Rolls I say Royce
You say God give me a choice
You say Lord I say Christ
I don't believe in Peter Pan
Frankenstein or Superman
All I wanna do is bicycle..
  (Queen - Bicycle)






Hayley Williams

I just found out that Hayley Williams, the lead singer from the band Paramore is a very talented girl. Besides singing, she can also play piano, drums and bass. Geez! Totally awesome.

Playing bass for her boyfriend's band, New Found Glory

You rawk gurl!



videos of the week


Adele - Chasing Pavement

I chose this video is because I love the song and the lyric. Adele really has a great voice. Listen carefuly when she says "Should I just..keep on..chasing..pavements.." and she repeated again. It's like she really tired of those things. The story of the video is also unique. Love it!



Savage Garden - I knew I love You

This song is epic! Back on the year 1998, when Savage Garden was one of those duo band that every woman had crushed on. I think this song is so romantic. It's like the guy had found his soulmate, when the truth is she doesn't know the girl. Kristen Dunst was the model in this video. She looks so young and a little bit chubby, but still pretty.

Do you know that there are dozes of million Moslem in China? Have you heard about the city of Urumchi, the capital of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China?
