CODE NAME BLUE

Japan Major 1st Album, out NOW! 

Here it is! The 29th of August that I've been waiting for already said hello yesterday. I'm writing this blog while listening to CNBLUE new Japanese album called "CODE NAME BLUE". This one sounds different than others. The boys said there are various types of songs in this album and they can be the perfect soundtrack for your day. I totally agree with them. Happy, sad, broken, angry? or anything else you name it, just choose a song and sing it loudly.

There are 14 songs on this album. 7 of them are new songs, while others have been released on their previous Japanese single or mini album. The leader YongHwa composed/co-composed 10 songs. Wohoooo! :D

My favorites from their new songs are "These days" and "Blue sky", really love both lyrics and melodies! The genius JongHyun is the man behind "These days" music, no wonder.. :)

YongSeo Story

I've told you once that I'm a big fan of YongSeo couple. Do you remember? :)
YongSeo is a nickname for YongHwa (CNBLUE) and SeoHyun (Girls' Generation) as a couple on We Got Married, MBC's virtual marriage variety show. They lived happily as 'husband and wife' since February 2010 until March 2011.

I've just finished watching their story for the 5th time. Despite of that fact, I was still smiling, laughing, and feeling some butterflies in my stomach while enjoying the show. I always end up with teary eyes and trembling heart when its reached the ending.

I really really really really really love their unique, sweet, meaningful and playful journey <3

Awkward moments as a "to-be-married" couple at first...

Sharing each other interests...

 

Push and pull game...

One of a kind birthday present...

The precious couple rings...

Sing their story to the world through the 'banmal song'...

A special stage duet...

Love letters...

Hand made gifts (books and scarf)...

Why all good things always come to an end? :'(

When the show started filming, SeoHyun was just a 19 years old girl who didn't have any experience related to man or love. She didn't know the difference between like and love. But on the final episode, she said:

"If I were compare it to something, if I had to put it across beautifully.. Liking is the feeling of a dandelion gently landing on the ground. It's warm and joyous. Love is the feeling of watching a dandelion seed growing on the ground and eventually blossoming. If it's just liking, it can be the dandelion seed that comes and goes with the wind. However, for it to blossom, you have to water it and shield it from the wind. You have to take special care of it."

Clearly, throughout a year, Seohyun has learned something, hasn't she? I also have learned bunch of things from this couple story ;)

Eid ul-Fitr

Happy Eid ul-Fitr! Taqoballahu minna waminkum o:)

During Lebaran I always spend my afternoon at my grandmother house. My Lebaran day is very quick because on the evening I already got home and have nothing to do haha.. so I have a bunch of free time during this holiday. Yeay!

Every moslem family or people always have their own tradition of Lebaran, as for me this is my kind of tradition every year.

 Ketupat! The word Lebaran attached to this packed rice

 A big bag which contains my survival items to spend my day at my grandma house

 I already left the tradition of buying a new dress for Lebaran since 3 or 4 years ago. For this year, I borrowed my mother vintage dress. She said this dress has never been worn, but she already has it like a zillion years ago :)

 #fromwhereistand before going to my grandma's. I pick La Spina's batik shoes to cover my feet. These are the most comfortable high heels ever! 

 Bro&Sis. Tom&Jerry. Bonnie&Clyde.

 The famous Rendang Uci! As a West Sumatra or Padang people, I called my grandma as Uci and my grandpa as Aki. Our food are spicy and not healthy ;p

This is it. The best Nastar in town. My entire family looooovvveee these cookies.

I caught an early symptoms of flu yesterday. My throat was hurt and my body's temperature was rising. So I spend the rest of my day in bed and read this novel. The novel is written by Ika Natassa. Twivortiare is the sequel of Ika Natassa's former novel called Divortiare. It's about Lexy and Dr. Beno love and hate relationship. As a single young woman, I learn a lot about a marriage life through those novels.

HAPPY HOLIDAY EVERYONE! :)
