demilestari: December 2015

The song that is filled my recent days is Locked Away from R. City and Adam Levine, the last name is the main reasons (after the music and lyrics) why I loved the songs. He is the magnet and the song is following after haha

In his first debut, I mean his first album with Maroon 5 (Songs About Jane), I saw him as a intresting band vocalist which is had a handsome face and good voice, but after a times I realize that he is more than just a band vocalist, he is sexy. hahaha ...

[Adam Levine:]

If I got locked away

And we lost it all today

Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?

If I showed you my flaws

If I couldn't be strong

Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?

[R. City:]

Right about now

If a judge for life me would you stay by my side?

Or is you gonna say goodbye?

Can you tell me right now?

If I couldn't buy you the fancy things in life

Shawty, would it be alright?

Come and show me that you are down

Now tell me would you really ride for me?

Baby tell me would you die for me?

Would you spend your whole life with me?

Would you be there to always hold me down?

Tell me would you really cry for me?

Baby don't lie to me

If I didn't have anything

I wanna know would you stick around?

[Adam Levine:]

If I got locked away

And we lost it all today

Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?

If I showed you my flaws

If I couldn't be strong

Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?

[R. City:]

Let's get it diddly-down-down-down

All I want is somebody real who don't need much

A gal I know that I can trust

To be here when money low

If I did not have nothing else to give but love

Would that even be enough?

Gal meh need fi know

Now tell me would you really ride for me?

Baby tell me would you die for me?

Would you spend your whole life with me?

Would you be there to always hold me down?

Tell me would you really cry for me?

Baby don't lie to me

If I didn't have anything

I wanna know would you stick around?

[Adam Levine:]

If I got locked away

And we lost it all today

Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?

If I showed you my flaws

If I couldn't be strong

Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?

[R. City:]

Tell me, tell me, would you want me? (Want me!)

Tell me, tell me, would you call me? (Call me!)

If you knew I wasn't ballin'

Cause I need a gal who's always by my side

Tell me, tell me, do you need me? (Need me)

Tell me, tell me, do you love me yeah?

Or is you just tryna play me?

Cause I need a girl to hold me down for life

[Adam Levine:]

If I got locked away

And we lost it all today

Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?

If I showed you my flaws

If I couldn't be strong

Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?

If I got locked away

And we lost it all today

Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?

If I showed you my flaws

If I couldn't be strong

Tell me honestly would you still love me the same?

Would you still love me the same?

Here are My Mom's favorite playlists which she got from mine (playlist), It's nice to share the songs with my mother.

Billie Holiday - Blue Moon

I forgot from whom I got this song, I thought it suddenly appeared on my playlist (^.^) When my mom asked for a new song for her playlist, I gave this because this song is ear-catching and so unique. My mother liked this song and asked for another Billy Holiday song after.

This song reminds me of the classy cartoons of MGM (Metro Goldwin Meyer), most of their episode used this kind of song as parts, meanwhile, it appears as a black people band and dance. I don't know in which areas Billie Holiday was, maybe in jazz, maybe in blues, or both? I didn't know yet.

I rarely found Billie Holiday songs sung on TV before, until one day... on the X-Factor Indonesia stage, there was a shopkeeper boy who came from Jawa Tengah singing Billie Holiday's song, Gloomy Sunday. Of course, his voice isn't as good as another contestant's (please accept my apologies), but he tried to sing this song in Billy Holiday's way so well, he did it and I can't believe it.

The X-Factor Indonesian judges were so surprised by him. That boy explains that he picked Gloomy Sunday because he likes that song, actually, he likes Billie Holiday. He spent time in a cafe internet (warnet) searching for everything about it, and he learned how to sing by himself, that's why he went to X-Factor Indonesia. For learn how to sing well.

He passed in the early stage of The X-Factor Indonesian elimination, but he was defeated in the next stage. The X-Factor Indonesian judges saw his curiosity and enthusiasm but still couldn't help him to increase his skill instantly, that boy accepted the decision and left the stage smiling, I knew... he got the highest reach of his life and it was enough.

My mom said, "I thought if he sing Blue Moon on this stage, he will pass..."

Zooey Deschanel - Sugar Town

I knew this song after watching 300 Days of Summer, such a drama movie that made me feel so anxious, maybe because the story does (not) have a happy ending. In that movie, Summer (Zooey Deschanel) sings this song in a bar after working as a new newcomer in the office. I got this song from my friend who watched this movie, actually most of my friends fell in love with 300 Days of Summer, boys mostly.

My Mom loves the reff: su... su... su... su... su... su... su... su... su... su... su... su... su... su... sugar town... She thinks the songs sound funny because, in the Indonesian language, susu means milk, and in the Sundanese language susu means breast.

My Mom said "su ... su ... su ... su ... hahahahahaha"

The Pierces - Secret

I downloaded this song after watching the Pretty Little Liars series, as long as I remember this song appears in the Gossip Girls series, in a masked ball scene while Blair and Nate dance. This song is perfect for that scene because everybody hides their identity behind the mask and the song's tone so gloomy and mysterious, it's also matches with the classy costumes.

At first, I didn't agree Pretty Little Liars used this song as a soundtrack, I thought this song didn't match the character and storyline which is so 'teenager'. But, after a few episodes, I realized, this song was used because of the lyrics describing Pretty Little Liars storyline in general, about someone who kept a secret until the death.

My Mom loves the tempo, it's slow early and faster after.

My Mom said, "This song is perfect for a ball, the song is so mysterious. Everybody must have a mask and evening dress".

Cuckoo Clock atau yang dalam bahasa Indonesia disebut Jam Kukuk adalah sebuah jam unik yang menggunakan suara burung sebagai bunyi loncengnya. Pada waktu-waktu tertentu (tergantung setelan), alih-alih berdentang jam tersebut akan berbunyi ‘kukkuuuuuk... kukkuuuuuk... kukkuuuuuk...’ seperti suara burung, lalu dari dalam jam akan muncul burung kecil yang akan keluar masuk sebanyak beberapa kali.

Cuckoo Clock memiliki 2-3 buah bandul yang berfungsi untuk mengatur waktu, mengatur bunyi dan keluar masuknya burung serta mengatur musik pengiring. Untuk fungsi yang terakhir biasanya Cuckoo Clock menggunakan lagu pengiring “Edelweis” atau The Happy Wanderer”. Bandul yang terdapat di Cuckoo Clock biasanya berbentuk buah pinus dan terbuat dari besi, fungsinya adalah sebagai pemberat dan pengatur jam karena Cuckoo Clock tidak menggunakan baterai atau listrik.

Agar Cuckoo Clock bekerja dengan semestinya pengguna perlu menarik bandul yang terdapat di tengah-tengah jam. Ada 2 jenis Cuckoo Clock yang dikenal masyarakat saat ini yaitu Cuckoo Clock harian dan Cuckoo Clock mingguan, perbedannya terletak pada waktu penarikan bandul. Bandul Cuckoo Clock harian ditarik setiap 24 jam sekali sedangkan bandul Cuckoo Clock mingguan ditarik setiap 8 hari sekali.

Philipp Hainofer adalah orang yang dikenal sebagai pencetus jam bersuara burung sedangkan yang berhasil mengaplikasikan ide tersebut pada jam adalah Domenico Martinelli. Namun design Cuckoo Clock sendiri terlahir dari tangan Franz Anton Ketterer, seorang pengrajin yang berasal dari Black Forest Jerman dengan ide awal ingin mendengarkan kicauan burung di musim dingin.

Material utama Cuckoo Clock adalah kayu linden yang banyak terdapat di hutan-hutan Eropa, keunggulannya kayu linden adalah sifatnya yang mudah dibentuk sehingga memudahkan pengrajin untuk membuat ukiran dan ornaments yang rumit. Sampai saat ini daerah Black Forest merupakan produsen Cuckoo Clock terbesar dengan kota Furtwangen sebagai pusatnya.

Seiring dengan perkembangan teknologi dan permintaan pasar design Cuckoo Clock semakin beragam tergantung selera. Bila dibandingkan dengan Cuckoo Clock yang terbuat dari kayu murni dengan design yang klasik nan rumit, Cuckoo Clock yang terbuat dari plastik dan menggunakan tenaga baterai lebih mudah ditemukan karena harganya yang lebih murah,

Menyambut Haloween, tahun ini Columbia Pictures memilih untuk merilis film yang diadaptasi dari novel horror anak remaja yang (pernah) booming hampir 30 tahun lalu, Goosebumps.

Bergaya Sebelum Mati, Guru Monster, Sekolah Hantu, Menara Teror, Kutukan Bangsa Viking,

Bagi sebagian orang judul-judul diatas mungkin sangat familiar, ya judul-judul tersebut merupakan beberapa judul dari serial Goosebumps karya R. L. Stine. Selain karena ceritanya yang seram dan twist ending serta cover illustration nya yang eye catching dan mengerikan menjadi salah satu ciri khas Goosebumps yang tak terlupakan.

Pada masa itu Goosebumps merupakan bacaan horror standar yang wajib dimiliki oleh anak remaja, sekurang-kurangnya mereka pasti pernah membaca Goosebumps, entah itu meminjam dari teman atau bahkan menumpang baca di toko buku.

Tentu saja Goosebumps bukan satu-satunya serial horror yang digemari oleh para remaja, ada Anonymorph dan sederet serial horror lainnya. Akan tetapi bisa dikatakan Goosebumps adalah yang paling digemari, bahkan saking populernya R.L. Stine juga sampai merilis Goosebumps dalam format yang menarik.

Dalam salah satu bukunya yang berjudul Karnaval Hantu, R.L. Stine menempatkan pembaca sebagai tokoh utamanya dan membiarkan mereka (pembaca) menentukan alur cerita sesuai dengan keinginannya, agak membingungkan ya?

Jadi, pembaca akan dihadapkan pada beberapa pilihan pada setiap halamannya, setiap pilihan mengarahkan pada halaman tertentu, dan tetap seperti itu sampai akhirnya pembaca bisa menyelesaikan buku tersebut. Tak usah khawatir, apapun pilihannya R.L. Stine akan mengarahkan pembacanya pada plot pilihannya, (karena) ia tak akan membiarkan pembacanya melewatkan monster-monster ciptaannya.

Dengan dirilisnya Goosebumps The Movie ini seakan-akan memberikan angin segar bagi dunia perfilman Hollywood dalam genre film horror, yang kini didominasi dengan remake film-film jadul.

Bagi yang pernah menghabiskan masa kecilnya dengan membaca Goosebumps mungkin agak terkejut sekaligus senang dengan dirilisnya Goosebumps The Movie ini, apalagi kalau bukan untuk bernostalgia dengan cerita-cerita seram ala R. L. Stine.

Goosebumps The Movie sendiri berkisah tentang Zach Cooper yang baru saja pindah ke sebuah kota kecil, ia bertetangga dengan Hannah yang ternyata adalah anak dari R. L. Stine, penulis buku terkenal Goosebumps, yang aneh dan misterius. Sebenarnya, semua monster dan hantu yang ada di bukunya adalah nyata, R. L. Stine berusaha untuk menjaga agar mereka tetap berada di dalam buku.

Suatu hari tanpa sengaja Zach dan Hannah serta seorang temannya yang bernama Andy melepaskan monster dan hantu yang terkurung ribuan tahun lamanya. Kekacauan pun segera terjadi, Nah, tugas mereka adalah mengembalikan monster dan hantu tersebut ke tampat asalnya.

Monster dan hantu yang terdapat dalam Goosebumps The Movie bukanlah monster dan hantu baru, yang baru saja diciptakan khusus untuk film tersebut, melainkan monster dan hantu yang pernah muncul dalam serial Goosebumps.

Coba dilihat trailer nya

Karena semua monster dan hantu pernah mendapatkan tempat di hati pembacanya, mungkin penonton akan sedikit kecewa, tidak semua monster dan hantu bisa ditampilkan karena durasi yang terbatas. Beberapa belas tahun yang lalu sebenarnya sudah pernah ada serial TV Goosebumps, dari ke 62 buku Goosebumps (seingat saya) tidak semuanya diangkat ke layar kaca. Semoga saja dengan hadirnya Goosebumps The Movie ini akan menarik minat para sutradara untuk membuat remake serial TVnya.
