This photo was taken while I was waiting for the first train to operate at Hongik University station. I just spent my night outside of a particular entertainment agency's building in Hapjeong -which is near Hongik/Hongdae- in order to meet one of the people I admire the most. I did meet him. In fact, I made him a mixtape. Hell, never in my life I made someone a mixtape except for him. Anyway, reminiscing about it only makes me yearn for his presence and I should not. Or should I?

Till we meet again, 기철씨. Cheers!

Yeolbong 찜닭

2011-09-25T13:27:00.000+07:00

The other thing I experienced in Seoul was Korean gastronomic. Besides the street foods, one particular Korean food that becomes my favorite is 찜닭 (jjimdak) or chicken stew. It looks a little bit like Indonesia's own Semur but jjimdak is spicy and they have noodles in it. One of the restaurants in Seoul who serves jjimdak is Yeolbong (열봉) which is owned by Korean celebrity, Se7en. There are four running Yeolbong in Seoul; Gasan, Gangnam, Garosugil and the newly opened store in Hongdae. I went to their Hongdae store as I was roaming through the neighborhood.

The main reason why I chose Yeolbong is because one of the YG dancers work there hahaha /lame. I did not meet him though, but maaan, the food paid off! As my friends and I could not take spicy food very well, we ordered the traditional jjimdak as Se7en's specialty jjimdak was even spicier. It was well-cooked with the spiciness level I can stand. Not to mention it came in a huge portion.

The traditional jjimdak that we ordered was the small one. We didn't order rice because we fear we might not finish the chicken if we ate it with rice hahaha. But Koreans like to eat jjimdak with rice so it's totally okay if you want to. All in all, again, it's a nice restaurant with a very good deal, plus the service was quick even though the restaurant was jam-packed when I went there.

another popular restaurant among Korean celebrities

Seriously, I come to liking every restaurant in Seoul I have ever been into. They keep giving us free cold water /sobs. Restaurant owners in Jakarta should learn from this.

Dakeya

2011-09-21T21:40:00.000+07:00

Last August, I spent eight days in Seoul for a student conference and a little bit of sightseeing. My friend, Idya, also came and we decided to dine in one of the Japanese restaurants there. It is called Dakeya/Izakaya, located in the neighborhood of Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu. I also had no idea about Dakeya at first. Turns out, it is very popular among Korean celebrities because the walls are covered up in messages from every celebs who has been there.

Dakeya is relatively small restaurant, but that is what I like. You get the homey feeling once you step in. The waiter/waitress are really nice. Every night, me, Idya and my other friend, Agis, went there just to have a beer or late bites. Because of that, the waiter and the waitress remembered us hahaha. I feel like welcomed every time I dined there. Besides the nice atmosphere, the meals are reaaaaaaaally good! We had jjampong ramen, kimchi fried rice and rice bowl mixed with beef (I forgot the name) and I always had Cass (Korean beer) for drink. One thing to add to the surprise, they offered us free cold water and you can ask for countless refill. That is something we don't have in Jakarta! The price of the meals and drinks are not very expensive, too. I mean, since Seoul's cost of living is higher than Jakarta, how can I come to a restaurant every night in Seoul for eight days and still survive until I come back to my hometown? Hahaha.

Kimchi Fried Rice

Rice Bowl Mixed with Beef

Jjampong Ramen, my favorite!

Overall, it is a really nice place with good food and good price.

ps: The owner is extremely super super super duper nice! When I first ordered Jjampong Ramen, I couldn't stand the spiciness of the food and he seemed to notice that. The second time I ordered and ate it, I didn't know why, it wasn't as spicy as the first. So thank you, Sumin-sshi ^^

Super Show 2 Malaysia

2010-04-01T12:41:00.006+07:00

Super Junior finally made their stop at Malaysia on their tour called Super Show 2. The venue took place at Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur. The show started at 8 PM sharp and lasted for approximately three hour. They sang for about 35 songs (!!) completed with huge hydraulic stage, awesome lighting and fireworks. Oh man, such is a sight to see. The boys were gazillion times more handsome in real life. To see them singing, dancing, goofing around on stage was truly heart-thumping and mouthwatering, especially when it comes to Kyuhyun's part kekeke. My favorite part was She Wants It. Not only because it is a fine song but when they performed it, the massive screen turned into a giant comic strip. COMIC STRIP ON STAGE! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! Nuff with the blabbering, here comes the pictures I managed to take inside the pit:

Another pleasant birthday present. Set to be released on August 14th 2009.

Praise for: Brantley Gutierrez

2009-06-11T22:22:00.013+07:00

Musicians and photography are nearly inseparable. Their momentous actions on stage could not be remembered if there weren't any people who captures their actions. By people I mean photographers. Same goes for the musicians when they're off stage. And personally, in my opinion, when you want to take a good photo of someone, you better build a relationship with them first.

There are many photographers who take photos of musicians but only one name crossed my mind. Brantley Gutierrez. He is a very well-known photographer/director who has worked with numerous musicians throughout the world. From Incubus to Bjork to Radiohead to Paul McCartney to Arcade Fire and many more to come.

He embarked on this journey while he was working with Foo Fighters on their video a few years ago. However, he encountered his first camera when he was 13 and hasn't put it down ever since. His profound works prove that he has a very good relationship with those people (red. musicians). Well at least that's what I thought because I find it very difficult to take photo of someone if I don't know him well enough hehe.

He also directs videos. This is one of them:

Do check his complete artworks here.

NB: The infos are gathered from various sources, including my conversations with him via Facebook chat (lol- I don't know if he remembers it or not, though).

Been reading Spike Jonze's blog lately. Psyched about his new upcoming movie, Where The Wild Things Are which dues October. Funny because I have never read the book but gets excited about the movie hahaha. Thanks to his blog, too, I know more about them (the book & movie). but I think about the getting the book as well, since I did not grow up with a lot of books. Children books, I mean.I'll leave you with the trailer, and the music is by The Arcade Fire - Wake Up. Good pick!

Together, no matter what happens, I'll be ready. For anything. For everything. To take on life, to take on love. To take on possibility and responsibility. Today Izzie Stevens, our life together begins. And I for one can't wait.

Just a thought

2009-04-25T14:27:00.002+07:00

I had a talk with my best friend a few days ago. All of a sudden, we stumbled into this college topic. Not the 'college-friends' topic, but about our majors. My best friend is majoring Environmental Engineering and for the slightest sight, I thought she found her heart there. And yes, she did find her heart. However, she told me that she wanted to study archeology in the first place but after did some re-thinks, she chose Environmental Engineering. I did not ask why. The kind-of surprising part was that she asked me, "Why did you choose International Relations? I thought you were into this artsy-thing." It took me a long time to answer that. And I began to ask myself why.

Well, I always wanted to pursue art. Always have, always will. I am fond of art, whatever its medium might be. But God knows I am no good at such field. I have been learning photography for almost four years now. To tell you the truth, it is not that easy. I am also eager to learn how to draw. I once joined this drawing course but never attended the class when I got accepted at International Relations. Sometimes I force myself to make a good drawing. Hmm, maybe force is not the right word. I keep telling myself that I can make a good one, but the result always turn out to be... not so good hahaha. From that point I think maybe I am not destined in art but in some other field. Yeah, call me pessimistic.

International Relations may be that other field. I was thrilled when finally I learned about Politics, IR and its contents, etc. It was a whole new thing for me. As the time passed by, I started to feel inconvenient in International Relations. We have to do analysis -which is something, again, I am not good at. There's assignment for each lesson per week (okay, lebay) but sometimes that happens! I can not cope with that. Questions have been wandering in my mind ever since. Do I really belong here? Is this this really what I wanted? Sh*t man, and I have always ended up regretting why I picked International Relations instead of Art. My friends who study art in a particular university -which very much I would like to go to- insist me to move to Art. I want to but it is not that easy-weasy. I mean, it is a big deal for me, especially when it comes to my parents. It is not as easy as flipping your hands. We talk about a completely different major, talk about money because I know it ain't cheap, and well talk about this past year I have passed in IR. Just before I come to decide if I am going to move or not, my best friend said, "You do not regret one thing. You will be doing just fine in IR. You may not feel it right now, but I am sure it will show one day. Let's just wait for the bigger picture." Maaaan, how those words are so thought-provoking.

So my point is, for those of you who are still confused about what major you should take or what choice you should make, you have to think it carefully. Choose what becomes of YOUR interest over somebody else's interests. Trust me, it felt different to do something what you actually you want to do instead of fulfilling someone's wishes. You will find the joy in it.

Cheers!

Adip. That four letter word refers to my star wars buddy, Adip, who is now pursuing his directing talent in San Fransisco, CA. He came back last holiday and we had loads of fun, even though I met him only once hahaha.. Ok, besides being my star wars buddy, he's also my Kubrick buddy, my Gondry buddy, my One Piece buddy, my internet buddy, and gazillion others buddy. hahaha.. What made me write this post is that I just Skype-d with him and to be honest, he really made me laugh throughout the call and that's just made my day. My earphone doesn't have any speakers so I can't talk to him. So I replied him via MSN and it wasn't enough. He kept laughing everytime I replied. And I had to keep my voices down cus my sisters were sleeping zzzz.. He played his favorite songs over and over which were... cheesy yet funny yet apaan sih?!? hahaha tapi sumpah kocak banget. terus dia nyanyi-nyanyi sama main drum. He said he wanted to make a band with his friends. Gila gilaa... I've never met someone who as multitalented as you are, man. Then he showed me his room which was fulfilled by loads of movie posters and they are insanely amazing! He has this one poster of 2001: A Space Odyssey but it was written in French (2001: l'espace ... something) Dang i want it!! Hm.. what else? Oh! He spoke French which was amusing hahaha I've always liked people who speaks French so no hard feelings loh, dip. He also curcol (curhat colongan) A LOT hahahaha dasar lo emang rajanya!! He is the only person who knows how to make me jealous into the core of my heart. He's seen Coldplay and Sigur Ros. He's been to NYC and Central Park, of course. Aaaaannddd... he's going to COACHELLA this year sodara-sodaraaaa!! Daaaaannggg!!! Sumpah ya dip, you don't know how much I envy you. You owe me stories pokoknya abis dari sana. Cepet balik lah, let's prank call Idya again hahahaha.. dip, if you are reading this, you may laugh your ass off.

few days ago I had this dream about outer space. ha! finally i have one post that matches my blog title hahaha. so in this dream, i got a chance to actually go to the moon. fully sponsored by NASA. i got sooo many privileges and one of them was i don't have to go to their training centre like many astronauts do. i can do my daily routines as usual. i even purchase a longchamp bag and a lacoste t-shirt before i go to the moon. hahahaha. well it's a dream. anything can happen, right? (this line belongs to skeeter's nephew in bedtime stories -i forgot his name-)

The trip to the moon was superb! The space station i was in provided this gravity-machine (?) so we could walk like usual when we're on earth. The moon itself was incredibly astonishing! I can walk and the next thing i know im floating (ya iyalah!). I jump all over the place but not too high cus i might get lost in space (zzz). All around me was these stars and outer-space thingy. how I wish I bring my camera with me. oh! they even let me ride my own spaceship! you know, like the one Anakin Skywalker rides. but it's not called a Jedi Starfighter hehehe.

after a long-long rides with my spaceship, i decided to return to the spacestation. and zap! i'm awake. zzzzzzz shoot!! i really REALLY wish it was trueeeee, you know. to be able to go to the moon isn't something that comes everyday. good thing i pictured my dream very well, or else i won't be remembering this most amazing dream i've ever had (so far)! hahaha.

Speak/fear

2009-01-02T23:18:00.005+07:00

Idya once said, "Everyone who does public speaking wows the shit out of me." I never really thought about that until now. I am majoring International Relation at Parahyangan University. As the students of International Relation, there's an unwritten law that we should do good at speaking (at least that's what I thought). The problem issssss, speaking is not my thing and it just scares the hell out of me. Really! Easy to say that we should practice but when it comes to reality, all the practice we've done seems to disappear at once. I've had one tough test that told me to do speaking in public. That test was being Chief of Italian Delegation at Gintre last October. Fyi, Gintre is an annual event held by my faculty and it's like a simulation of United Nations' General Assembly. I was scared to death when I was speaking to other 200 students of International Relation. Seeing those eyes staring at me totally freaked me out. Good thing I didn't mumble but if you were there and paid attention while I was speaking, my voice trembled hahaha. In the seventh semester, we have this thing, Gintre-like, called Prakdip (Diplomacy in Practice) and it's done in English, folks! (Gintre is done in Indonesian language). How am I supposed to do that when I still slur while speaking my mother tounge?

I remember what my teacher asked when I was taking a course in ILP years ago. He asked, "What's the hardest part of learning English?"
"Listening, sir," I replied.
He asked one more, "Are you sure it's not speaking?"
"No, sir," I replied.
Sure thing it was hard at that time. But as the time goes by, I begin to realise that speaking is the hardest part. I can train my eyes and ears by watching movies with English subtitle. I can write well in English, I guess lol. Speaking? Whom can I talk to? Everyone in my house speaks Indonesian. My friends... well it's not like we talk in English everytime, right? And to add note, I really am afraid to speak.. and make mistake. Seriously. Same thing goes for other foreign languages I've learned, like French and German.

I read somewhere in one interview, Brandon Boyd claimed that he, too, is afraid to speak in front of large audiences. He then said, "(...) the best way to handle fear is to treat it like the attacking bear: Stand and face it." Woooww.. that's just wow! I mean, he's afraid to speak in front of people yet he's a frontman of a well-known band. He'd overcome his fear by doing so. Oh how I wish I could just do the same thing but I think I'm scared too much. Or maybe I'm over-thinking it too much. Or instead of facing the attacking bear, I've been busy playing dead so the bear won't attack. But it came to me again; then what's the use of mouth if it's not for speaking? still, I'm too afraid to try.. Bog. Aidez-moi.

PS 3 and nintendo wii!! oh gosh those two game consoles totally have my heart! even though i only play guitar hero 3 and cooking mama, but still.. (you can laugh now)
it all started with my brother (i think he started all my likenesses) who asked me to play wii near our kosan. so on we played wii with his girlf also. i even invited all of my friends to join me playing wii later that time. and they enjoyed it! hahaha. however the place has quite an expensive price for one-hour game, so my brother went to another game-rental at dipati ukur.
the new place at du, called forPlay, has cheaper price and more PS3. they have like 4 or 5 PS3s. but no wii. there, i could play guitar hero for 2 hours alone while my brother and his girlf or my friends are playing winning eleven or whatever it is called! hahahahaha.. beware people, it's contagious. and those game-rental place like that surely suck your money out of your pocket. fast. hahaha

now i'm confused

2008-11-14T18:40:00.005+07:00

it may seem contrary from the title but what i love about writing this post is, despite the fact that i'm in garut doin this bakti desa, i can still access the world wide web straight from my cellphone. and god bless indosat for its signal strength.
however there's one thing that's been bugging me lately which is my brother's annoyance. he's on his top for being #1 annoyer i think. he doesn't actually doing it in purpose. but still, that bothers me A LOT! first, he made promises he couldn't keep. second, he's been ignoring me. i don't know why but he just does that. third, he only came to me when he needed help. urrgh such a kkb (kakak kalo butuh).
ah yaudah lah. i got a senam pagi rame2 now. and tonite we'll have bonfire!

WhatNot's New Look

2008-11-05T18:50:00.006+07:00

Since Nov 1st '08, DoTheWhatNot has changed their look which -I think- is better. The background has gone from black to kinda off-white colour (?), more blogroll-ers, to the WhatNot TV and WhatNot FM. Oh! they even changed the link and name to DailyWhatNot.

Ectoplasm

2008-10-22T23:34:00.011+07:00

I know it's waaay too late to post about Brandon Boyd's art exhibition but I just can't bear to spill it. Ok, so his exhibition was held on September 8-27 2008 at Mr. Musichead Gallery, Hollywood, CA. He did all the artwork by himself. It was his first solo exhibition after all. Mr. Boyd claims, "I have been drawing and creating visual works my entire life, as long as I can remember." and the man proved that by these paintings:

Brain Diagram

Heart and Skulls

Spilling/Spinning (the green one) was the main painting of the show

The Plunge

Orangutan

And pics from the opening:

Why Ectoplasm? "It's these bulbous masses that are very organic looking and they turn and twist and fold. They go where they want to go. They are completely spontaneous and they get these beautiful, twisting, hair-like effects to them... They would use gauze or animal innards that they would hide when the lights were low, and they would distract with sounds and bump the table, and people would look at the table, they’d spit [the ectoplasm] out, basically saying, “This is the spirit world contacting us; this is the physical spirit matter... I started to notice that the gauze stuff looks like what I draw... I started spilling them out of characters mouths and out of their ears... I found it interesting that the idea of a medium whose job it is to go into a trance and pull information of existence from a different plane or a different sphere into this world, is so much like the artistic experience... That's why I ended up titling it 'Ectoplasm'," said Brandon Boyd.

Goodluck Brandon for your visual arts and your art school. All the best!

2008-10-03T23:52:00.003+07:00

jadi kemarin giliran gw, kk gw (mas erie), dan adik gw yg pertama (laras) jaga rumah. bapak ibu sm adik gw yg paling kecil (asri) pergi ke rumah sodara buat lebaran-an. karena ditinggal ibu, jadi otomatis ga masak dong. trs laras juga males buat goreng nugget, sosis, dkk. akhirnya mas erie mengusulkan kita makan di CBD. dengan sotoy dan duit pas-pasan gw sm laras mengiyakan ajakan itu.

pas kita udah siap dan tinggal negeluarin mobil, mas erie mendapat kesulitan saat melakukan hal tersebut krn bapak gw yg markirin mobil itu susah bgt. mas erie sampe nabrak tembok, ember, dan pager rumah. ga parah sih soalnya gw tahan juga tuh mobil (ternyata sakit juga ya kejepit mobil). setelah setengah jam, yak benar setengah jam sodara-sodara ditambah dgn cekikikan dr tetangga dpn rumah, itu mobil keluar juga dr garasi.

nyampe CBD, kita makan di A&W dan ternyata kk gw msh kurang kenyang tp duit ud abis. dia pun mengusulkan beli mie di carrefour trs masak lg di rumah. yaudah, beli deh tuh mie banyak bgt. sampe rumah, dia malah keasikan main komputer sampe kelupaan masak mie. jadi lah itu mie nganggur.

pas maghrib, bapak ibu sm asri pulang. ibu gw pun mengajak ke rumah bude. akhirnya kita semua pergi kec. bapak krn dia capek. pas di jalan (kk gw yg bawa mobil) tepatnya di underpass ciledug, ada helm melintang di tengah jalan. kk gw yg tadinya udah menghindar malah dgn sukses melindas helm tsb. dan nyangkutlah itu helm di roda kanan depan. setelah melipir kesana-kemari dan kucuran keringat disana-sini, akhirnya itu helm keluar juga.

kelar dr rmh bude, kk gw masih laper. dia ngidam mie Laiker yg ada di SC. dgn otoynya gw bilang di PS ada. eh sampe sana ternyata gada. gw tertipu dengan warna restoran serupa yg item-ijo itu. alhasil kk gw cm makan goiza dan lagi2 dia bilang itu ga kenyang.

at the end of the day, i offered to cook an instant noodle for him and he simply said, "no thanks. i've had enough for today." hahahaha. patience, my dear brother. patience.

Happy Birthday, Brantley!

Frames Magazine

2008-08-04T23:26:00.006+07:00

Few weeks ago, a friend of mine told me to go to Bakoel Koffie/Ark Gallery and take a cd called "Hello My Name is Frames". And so I did, since it's located in our neighbourhood. At first I thought it was some band promoting their album but when I turned the back of the package, there's the word "magazine" on it. In other way, it's called Frames Magazine.

When I got home, I put the cd into the computer and voila! there's the magazine! Not only a magazine, but also videos and songs which three of em work properly with Adobe Flash Player 9. I started "flippin" the magazine by clicking the corner of the "paper". Total 170 pages, if I'm not mistaken. I was like, "Oh jeez, this is insanely cool!" I mean, how often do you see a magazine that comes in a cd with songs and videos? FYI, you can also put the cd in the cd player so you can listen to the songs. Seriously, that IS kool loh!

Frames Magazine mainly talks about art in various branches in creativity skills. Their first issue called "The Introduction Issue" which contains a lot of artwork by the artists they've chosen for this issue, such as Sajama Cut, Davy Linggar, Hendricus Linggawidjaja, Albert Judiyanto, Robby Susanto and so much more. So without further ado, take a peek at the contents:
(Btw, I'm #967 out of 1000 lucky bastards)
