Friday Five - Randomosity!

I forget. I already did. Yet I was reminded somehow just suddenly. Your brain is indeed the strangest thing in this world.

Let's go!

P.S.: As usual, you can find these questions originally at thefridayfive.

1. If you were given one million dollars, on the condition that you had to give half of it away, how would you go about giving away half a million dollars?

I don't mind. At all. In my country dollars mean much, and to be able to get even half a million of it would be very helpful. I would just positively think that someone else might need that half a million, LOL~ Then I will use what I have to go have fun, visit Europe, go see music concerts, and pay for my university fees. How beautiful!

2. Do you write letters or send cards to anyone via the postal system regularly, only for special occasions such as birthdays, or not at all?

Very rarely. When I was in the mood to, I sent several postcards to my best online friends. I have only once sent a gift to a friend aboard. Never really liked doing one and it is kind of expensive as well so I won't bring trouble to my parents for paying it for me, ehe~

3. What is the most treasured memento you have kept?

I wonder... I still keep the pen I received from a real-life meeting with my first best online friend. And a doll from someone important... I'll leave it there. :P

4. If one of your friends phones you at 4am because they are depressed and upset, but you have an important job interview in the morning. What do you do?

My answer? (1) None of my friends would ever call me in such hour. I make sure I make friends with those who wouldn't do that to me. (2) If one of them ever called me at 4 AM in the morning despite my prevention actions, poor this person as I would not respond at all. How dare you interfering with my sweet dream and sleep!

5. What is the phrase or quote that sums up who you are as a person?

"Work hard, play hard." ... I guess. I don't think I work that hard.... Oh, well. :D

There we go! This time it is much fun, thanks for the questions, Friday Five! Look forward to next week's questions. :D

Spectacular starts!

I didn't think I would really end up watching Indonesian Idol again after few years skipping it. At the time I thought the show was getting boring and there were not really people who sing great, or those who entered the final stages were not what I expected before.

Lately I followed the newest season, with new judges, and quite different style of deciding on the participants. The judges are actually those who I know truly exists and talented in world of music. Funny that I noticed an article at the web that people resent the judges because of their harsh comments (when it is true, and truth hurts indeed). Strange these people can't learn how to face and understand that they know more in that field than we do. Participants for the big stage (Spectacular Stage is the name) is chosen half by people's vote and half by judges' vote. Interesting that last night the judges added two more contestants although they had reached the limit of 10 contestants. So now we have 12. Fine by me since those who I think have awesome voices were already in. <33

This could be more interesting than previous seasons. Or so I hope. Let's see how they develop and look forward to awesome performances!

Christina Aguilera - Bound to You

First song I posted here. I am most probably going to post more songs and videos and maybe pictures later on, but it depends on my mood and my internet speed. :P Here I also attach the lyrics to the video, I hope you all had fun listening to it. A song by Christina Aguilera, sung at the movie "Burlesque" telling about how a girl seeks a job at a.. cafe(?) or some sort. Quite an interesting story. Whatever, the song is awesome! :D

Do they care about marriage at all?

I watch infotainment programs at TV too. No, I'm not such a big fan of gossips, but I'd rather watch them than watching strange and completely non-sense short movies or something like that. *grumbles*

Anyway, back on topic.

Infotainment really loves the romances of celebrities. They display everything, from gossips, to those going out together, to the marriage, to their cheating, and when they get a divorce, as well as when they find someone else to love and marry. *rolls eyes* The circle is endless, vicious, sometimes up to the point that it feels... (sorry to say this but I just have to) disgusting.

I have this one celebrity. She divorced her former husband and turned out she cheated him. She cheated him with someone younger than him. TEN YEARS YOUNGER. They got married shortly after, then I never saw her on TV anymore. Today, when I saw them again, they would get a divorce. Reason? "We are better as siblings -- a brother and sister -- than as husband and wife." My reaction? ... Should I write it here? It pissed me off. The infotainment interviewed her former husband. His reaction? To sum it up he felt that it was strange for the woman to give up their marriage to run with that boy and now getting divorced for such a silly reason. You can clearly see how the divorce hurt this ex-husband, even more after hearing the news.

And several other cases related to marriage, divorce, another marriage, another divorce, and so on. A nasty cycle.

I just don't understand. How could they take the decision so fast, then regret it, stop the relationship abruptly, then start a new one only to fail again? What do they think of marriage? It feels as if they think of it as a game. Marriage is serious business. At least for me. Maybe related to religion as well, but still... Do you not want to be married to someone who will stay with you until the very end? How could you know that after only a short period of knowing each other? Marriage is not simple at all yet these people...

Probably I should stop watching infotainment and ignore all of those weird people.
