Which One? (Edited)

Saturday, October 20th, 2007

Di sela-sela kesibukan syuting, ternyata gw sempat juga beriseng-iseng ria - seperti halnya anak-anak remaja seumuran gw.

Hwahaha.

Eniwei, inilah hasilnya.

Kemaren itu si Jane ngirim SMS lucu, yg isinya minta gw mendeskripsikan dia dengan hanya satu kata. Cuman boleh satu kata.

Definitely difficult since she is a lot of things. I eventually settled for BUBBLY.

Kata si Jane, tu SMS boleh diterusin ke 10 org, biar gw juga dapet hasilnya, yg kata dia, lucu2 dan aneh.

Indeed.

Gw gak inget ngirim ke berapa org tapi inilah hasilnya:

SMART dari Jane. (Gw nodong balik ke dia, hehehe.)

BEAUTIFUL dari Yuli.

TANGGUH dari Danny.

HELPER atau FLIRTABLE dari Esther. (Orang ini emang suka lain sendiri.)

MENANTANG dari Ayu. (Ini juga aneh, hwahaha.)

Last but not least, WACKY dari Mila! (I don’t know where she gets that idea. Honest!)

What do you think?

Additional: Adik gw barusan SMS jawaban dia: DUREN!

Gw dengan sewotnya langsung mbalas: Hah? Duren? Apa maksudna? Duda keren? (Yang bener ajaaaa… Gw kan tante-tante idung mancung) Hehehe, ternyata kata dia, gw bisa menusuk (ups, serem ya…) tapi dalemnya manis.

Setthh. Ngakunya sih, disainer web, tapi kata-katanya duong… Bisa tuh, nerbitin buku puisi. ‘Mayan-lah buat lirik lagu di bus-bus, hahaha

Sekalian yah… gw promosi di sini… Adik gw disainer web lho… Yang pengen blog-nya dipercantik atau punya bisnis online en pingin punya situs web, harus (!) kontek gw. (Dia susah dikontek sih - profil frenster aja banyak "dogi"nya gitu. Leave a comment with me and I’ll screen you first, hwahaha)

Hum Hallelujah

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

Still about Fall Out Boy.

I just got myself really "in tune" with their latest album, Infinity on High. At first, it was Thriller that I couldn’t stop singing. I skipped Hum Hallelujah as soon as I heard the first notes.

Then, I found out that most of the first songs in the album are great. But this particular one… Hm.

For one, I remembered from the concert that it has this part where they actually sing the chorus of Hallelujah. Which somehow and other felt blasphemous to me. And add to that, I didn’t  remember being really entertained by this song.

And then I was on my way somewhere, the Boys blasting away in my ears, and I got stuck with the last part of the Hum Hallelujah’s chorus.

A teenage vow in a parking lot
"Till tonight do us part."
I sing the blues and swallow them too

I like how this part ends the chorus, I like how the melody actually gets the (dare I use the word?) angst of young love and Patrick’s amazing voice doesn’t hurt either.

Now it is the song that is kept on repeat on my player.

It is even better if I’m riding a bike which is speeding through the night. (Poetic mode ON.)

Imagine that. And I used to be the girl who loved NKOTB’s I’ll Be Loving You Forever. Nowadays when I hear that song (which is thankfully almost never) all I feel is impatience.
