Saturday 9: (Amazing) Just the Way You Are

Thanks to Smellyann for the song suggestion

1) This song is about a girl who can't accept how pretty she is. How do you respond to compliments? Do you accept them graciously, or do you get embarrassed? I don't do well witg compliments and easily embarrased. I think because I lack my self-esteem so I'd gone doubting ppl when they say something good about me whether it's true or not.

2) Bruno says he takes inspiration from a variety of musical styles -- everything from rock to reggae to hip hop. What kind of music do you listen to most often? Rock, heavy rock to pop rock, indie rock, country rock, alternative rock. Just a band than a boyband.

3) Bruno's uncle was a professional Elvis impersonator, and as a little boy Bruno also performed on stage as the King. When you picture Elvis, do you think of early rock'n'roll Elvis from the 1950s, Technicolor Hollywood Elvis of the 1960s, or the rhinestone jumpsuit Elvis who performed in Las Vegas? Rhinestone jumpsuit memorable because it's bling bling.

4) Bruno plays several instruments onstage, including piano, guitar and congas. What instruments can you play? I wish I could but I suck with instruments. If I could, I'd like piano, guitar and cello.

5) Bruno is touring all over the country this summer. What's the last concert you attended? I don't do concerts but (don't laugh) I attend one of Kpop boyband concerts and screaming like a teen.

6) Unlike some other stars, Bruno doesn't demand a lot of luxuries on the road, but he did admit to TMZ that he insists Wet Wipes be provided for his dressing room. If you could ask your boss for anything, anything at all, to make your workplace more comfortable, what would you request? Pretty much satisfied. For me as long there's computer and fast internet connection I won't bitching.

7) Rumors are flying that Bruno might become a judge on American Idol. Are you an Idol fan? Do you watch any of the other "talent search" shows -- The Voice, America's Got Talent, The X Factor, etc.? Used to. I don't really like the idea of talent search, getting boring with similar concept.

8) Bruno is an unapologetic cigarette smoker. Do you smoke? Have you quit? Or did you never start? This is a secret. If ppl get high with drugs, I get high with smoke. I wasn't make it a habit it just short span curiosity... that killed the cat.
 

9) Billy Joel also had a hit with the title "Just the Way You Are." If we were going to do karaoke, which version would you sing -- Billy's or Bruno's? I am not into Bruno Mars at first but I listem to him lately... The Talking to the moon and locked out of heaven songs.

 

Today is my mom 51st bday if she's here. Happy Birthday mom.

 

And have a great weekend fabulous readers.

 

.Cheers.

Saturday 9: Greased Lightnin'

5) In addition to being John Travolta's birthplace, Englewood, New Jersey, played a significant role in telecommunications history. In 1951, Englewood's mayor made the first-ever direct dial long-distance call in the United States. Now it's your turn. Tell us something about your birthplace. A place with frequent heavy rain and known as thousand-angkot city. There's no dry or rainy season in the city it's always raining. And angkot is public transportation (car) painted in blue or green.

6) Travolta is an excellent dancer. How are you on the dance floor? I used to dance when I was a teen but not know. Well, I want to try belly dance or salsa.

7) Grease is an upbeat musical about the students of Rydell High. Another Travolta movie is Carrie, which features the worst prom night imaginable. Grease or Carrie -- which is closer to your high school experience? The prom itself is a horror in my memory.

8) What was your best subject in high school? What was your worst? My best: Math, English, Chemistry. My worst: Physics, Arts.
 
9) Sam made good use of the bus ride to school, using that time to complete her homework. What do you remember about getting to or from school? Hmm, couple smoochin' and me sleeping with mouth open. I don't want to remember that.

Saturday 9: Mama Told Me (Not to Come)

1) This song is about a lad who didn't take his mother's advice and attended the wild party anyway (hear it here). When you were young, did your parents approve of your friends? If you're a parent yourself, how have you handled it when your kids start hanging around with friends you're not crazy about? I didn't remember any of it but I think I didn't have a lot of friends.

Saturday 9: Tunnel Of Love

Saturday 9: Tunnel of Love

1) Do you enjoy amusement park rides? Not really, 2 rides and then I am done, whether I suffer heavy dizzines or jackpot through or after the rides. Not good things to do.

2) In this song, Bruce likens romance to riding through the tunnel of love. The Red Hot Chili Peppers sing about a "Love Rollercoaster." What amusement park ride reminds you of your relationships? Bumper car. A truely excitement when doing crazy things.

3) Bruce's nickname is The Boss. Who was your best boss? What made him/her a good supervisor? I have problem with authority and older people so I used to hold them at arm's length. Usually they don't leave with good impressions.

4) Bruce's father was a bus driver and his mother was a legal secretary. What professions did/do your parents work in?My father worked in one private company while my mom is excellent brilliant smart housewife who loved to cook.

5) Bruce met his wife Patti at a bar in Asbury Park. Do you believe you can pick up lasting love in a bar? Maybe work for some people but I personally do not think that will last.

6) Springsteen was unable to work for years because he was embroiled in a lawsuit with his management company. Have you ever been sued, or sued someone else? No. I hope never.

7) Bruce won an Oscar for writing the title song for the Tom Hanks movie Philadelphia. Do you have a favorite Tom Hanks movie? mmmmm.....no.

8) Bruce's official Twitter account (@springsteen) has more than 389,000 followers. Do you tweet? If so, how many people follow you? Yes, I tweet. I don't really aware of how many people that follow me. Less than 200. Do you have twitter? Let's follow each other.

9) Bruce's drummer, Mighty Max Weinberg, led the band on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien. Who do you think is funnier -- Conan or Jay Leno? Or are you looking forward to Jimmy Fallon? Hmmm, sorry am living across the continents but I used to watch Oprah and Ellen. Girls power!

 

I am missing weekend blogging so today I am trying to do it using my phone which is not easy. But I am glad I can though it will lack pics or stuff. I am moving out from my city to big city so I spent a lot of time adapting.

 

Happy Saturday!

 

.Cheers.

Saturday 9: Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Hakuna Matata

1) Sam is crazy for The Lion King. Do you have a favorite Disney movie? Though am not a big fan of cartoon but I remember very well Aladin and I was Princess Jasmine XD

2) The song tells us that Hakuna Matata "means no worries." Is something worrying you right now? Gaining weight and some unwelcome fat in my belly and other parts.

3) Who is the most optimistic person you know? My husband. To the point of ridiculous. While I am a very very realistic person.

4) Elton John wrote "Hakuna Matata" but didn't record it. Name a song Sir Elton is famous for singing. Can You Feel The Love Tonight.

5) Can you play the piano? Sadly no. Given no chance to learn but I will make sure my kids will be able to play piano.

6) Congratulations! You just won a guided African Safari Tour! 8 days in Zambia and Botswana for you and a friend. All expenses paid, and allowing you access to breathtaking, unforgettable sights. It takes at least 30 hours to get there, and before you go you'll need yellow fever and hepatitis vaccinations and medication to prevent malaria. Are you up for it? Am in (even without thinking). Africa is on my second list after France for sure.

7) There's been a mistake. You really won a 4-night Disney Bahamas Cruise for two. Are you relieved or disappointed that you'll be partying with a guy in a Simba suit on the Lido Deck instead of observing a real lion in the wild? Am up for any party at least don't try to make me wear a Simba suit.

8) Let's bring this back to real life -- do you have any vacation plans? Not in a near time, my hubby just got new jobs so no personal leave for a year and I am just gonna suck it up. If there's miracle I'd like everywhere with beach and bikinis.

9) Describe your luggage. Is it durable and high quality? Or are you like Crazy Sam, who has been known to use an Old Navy shopping bag as her carry-on? It's my mom old durable luggage for some occasion but I prefer a backpack for short trip

Have a great weekend everyone :)

.Cheers.
