The lonely bottles of water
The super sunny day

The question mark. From single to double (kidding ;p)

Holiday season always treats me nicely, that's why I can't let it go easily. But the crazy days will come around soon next Monday :( Until we meet again on November my dear holiday!
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 ;)

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.
The official release date for CNBLUE new single on Japan is still 3 days away (01.08.2012), but this morning I've got the leaked link to listen to their new single (3 songs) in advance ^^
*I guess the word "long" on "I long to be close to you" refers to "belong"*
It's quite funny to hear Yong Hwa's pronunciation of "miracle" haha.. Sometimes I found the english lyrics are strange to be heard as a sentence, but I know Yong Hwa already make a huge effort to write the song and he's still learning to improve his english :)
Somehow I feel their music on Japan slightly a bit different than their Korean songs. The appearance is darker and the music is louder in Japan, while in Korea the boys images are softer and warmer. Those are just my opinion though, but I guess their adapt to the market preference.
Recently, Jung Yong Hwa also composed a song for FNC's new group, AOA. The song title is "Love Is Only You". The group consists of 8 young women, bring a theme of "Angel's Story" for their debut. FNC already released several teaser videos of this group and planned to have their debut on July 30th. It was unfortunate for FNC that the song already leaked two (or three?) days ago, as a contrast it's a blessing in disguise for Yong Hwa fans ;)
I have finished listen to Sara Bareilles new EP, called "Once Upon Another Time", which has been released on last May. The EP consists of 5 new songs: Once Upon Another Time, Stay, Lie To Me, Sweet As Whole, Bright Lights and Cityscapes.
The first and second verse lyrics of "Sweet As Whole" are drowning my attention. I can't help but giggling while listening and reading those sweet but sharp words :)
"Sweet As Whole"
[Verse 1:]
Sometimes I can be perfectly sweet
Got this sugary me stuffed in my sleeve
And I talk of ponies and rainbows and things
And I'm just who you want me to be
But like most creatures down here on the ground
I'm composed of the elements moving around
And I grow and change and I shift and I switch
And it turns out I'm actually kind of a bitch
But that only happens when I get provoked
By some piece of shit asshole we all sadly know
And I sit and I write while reminding you all
That mean songs are still better than going postal
[Chorus:]
And that guy's an asshole
That girl's a bitch
Baby it's natural
No gettin' away from it
So sing it out with me
And then let it go
Fuck that guy he's just an asshole
Oh-asshole
Asshole
Asshole
[Verse 2:]
I see I've surprised you with some of my words
And I know that surprises, while fun, still can hurt
And I hate to think that I ruined the day
Of the dick and the queen of the high horse parade
But I'm sick and tired of your poisonous ways
Your toxin wasting perfectly good space
And I say what I think
'Cause it's more economic than drugs or a drink
