(Amazing) Just The Way You Are

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: (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'


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: Greased Lightnin'

1) Greased Lightnin' was the name of a car. Have you ever given your car a name? I haven't have my own car.. I hope by next year I could have one.

2) Could your vehicle use a trip to the car wash this weekend? see no.1
 
3) This song is from the soundtrack of the movie Grease, the biggest money-making movie musical of all time. Have you ever seen it? when I was a kid but I didn't remember it.

4) John Travolta's astrological sign is Aquarius. What's yours? Aquarius.

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.
 
Great questions Sam. I am off now gotta cooking.
Have a great Saturday.
 
.Cheers.

From Classic Music to Classic Rock!

If you follow my twitter you'll know that I was captivated by the sound of Cello a couple days ago and now I listen rock music.

My musical preference is varied from classical music to rock. You'll find it weird, I know. I like to be weird!

Gotta admit I listen different kind of music but classic music and rock are tie in my top list of music genre then the easy listening pop music. But there's one thing I don't like, I don't like any songs from my country. It doesn't mean I hate it, I just don't find it good to listen, though there's still singer (more because of their voice) I fall for their love, Afgan is one of them.

Among any instruments, I have my heart on piano, guitar and now I am captivated by the sound of cello. 

I love this Cello Bach. I like the modern-sound and the very-classical one too :)



Ouuuggghhh Bach - Cello Suite No.1 i-Prelude really make me fly... It's very beautiful. I really never thought Cello could sound so beautiful....

I used to listen to Richard Clayderman when I was a kid and Maxim when I was a teenager so don't get yourself confuse. My dad has his own way to wake his children up in the morning by volume-ing up music so we would at least bother by the sound of it but sorry dad it doesn't work :)

But rock music help me with all my insecurities when I grew up from a teenager to young-adult and even until now I still listening to rock music. Basically I didn't it's rock or alternative or whatever but I listen people in band with great music, loud rhythm, and angelic voice from metal to alternative to classic rock to what ever. But my all-time favorite is Saosin and Paramore, just don't ask me how many times I listened to their music. Countless!

Just yesterday I run into this rock band - The Pretty Reckless - the one with Taylor Momsen. I doubt her, at first, but then I was blown away with her voice. Boom! a 17 year-old girl could sing like a rocker and look like a hooker at the same time. The way she used clothes remind you of Marie Currie but whatever I listened to good music and great vocal.  

 

She's pretty brave but I gotta admit she's one amazing supermodel-body rockstar-attitude singer which you know what I hope for, right? If life is wild then I might become bff with Taymom.

Good Friday, everyone!

.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!

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.

Oh Grey

Grey?

Yes that Grey. Christian Grey.

of The Fifty Shades of Grey.

Finished that trilogy already but still couldn't get him out of my head. His personality is something isn't easy to forget. It's intriguing how I like his control freak, over protective and possessive side, you know I don't mind have a partner with that kind of attitude, I find it challenging to defy. But I understand how Grey comes up with that kind of personalities; If you have a fucked-up past life or not-so-perfect past life you'll grow by having that tendency of always feeling broken, not-worthy, self-loathing, and any negative things. A time where I once there. Stop there. am not gonna share more. :s

Been listening this beautiful singer recently. I need to get out and search more music now, where have I been? Please enjoy Christina Perri. I found out she's sing a song for Breaking Dawn soundtrack and I think her recent music Distance featuring Jason Mraz has becoming my own soundtrack of Fifty Shades of Grey. She's a genius is sad and heartbroken songs, her voice able to tear apart your hearts. Enjoy.
