I wonder if WEAVER could go to Indonesia again! Not only concert, but also walking around, tasting some food...

I wish I could be their tour guide! haha. There are so many food in Indonesia that I recommended for them

such as ; Gado-Gado, Soto Betawi, Bakso, Soto mie, Pecel lele, Siomay, Es Cendol (Cendol Ice), aah so many!

Also I wanted to show some good places...

If he went to Indonesia, I wanted to show him a restaurant that has a delicious Nasi Goreng!!

Also I wanted to invite all the members too! hehe.

Hanging Out and Cooking

(○’ー’○)ノ☆☆Hello!!

It's been a long time I didn't meet my old friend, Monica (from Junior High School). I was also bored at home. So I decided to hanging out with her on Tuesday.

green tea ice cream

We decided to go to Mangga Dua Square because it's the nearest mall!
We talked about many things. We really enjoyed talking.
We just walked around, sitting, and talking for an hour. We also ate nuggets, french fries, and green tea ice cream. The green tea ice cream is cheap and delicious! very good☆(b￣(ｴ)￣)b
I love the taste of the cone too. It's sweet. (*Ah! It reminds me of Yuji Sugimoto! He likes to eat sweet food, I wonder if I could hang out with him! lol)

me

Today, I made a strawberry-chocolate pudding.
I made it with my mom.
I had so much fun while cooking.
It's so embarrassing to say that I can't cook!! haha
But I want to learn cooking. I love to learn cooking. Especially, making desserts! I love desserts! (♣´∀｀艸)❤　

I added the strawberry pudding on the top of the chocolate pudding! So it has 2 layers. I also added some toppings! hehe.
I love adding topping, *it's kinda fun (lol)


I wish I could give it to Sugi-kun! :3
If he came here, I would make something special for him! *it's a must! (lol)
//ok stop imagining! (*>ω<*)

What are you doing today? ^.^
Please share!
see you again！(*ゝェ・)/~☆Bye-Bye♪

Holiday and Experience

ヾ(｡´∇｀Hello!!
Holiday is coming!
How's your report? How's the result of your study?

I'm pretty happy for the result! The score was pretty good.
I'm really grateful. I didn't get bad score in my report!
I will improve it! I have to work more hard! Yeah, but sometimes I'm also lazy! >.< haha
Especially when your brain is getting tired, you will feel very lazy to do anything.
When I feel lazy, I usually listen to the music. Music makes me relax and suddenly makes me in a good mood! Mostly, I listen to WEAVER's songs. They're great! If I'm upset,happy,or anything else, WEAVER has the songs that dedicated to my feelings!

Two days ago.. I just played with my cousin. She came with her brother.
She's making a bracelet and she gave me one.







 Yesterday, I went to Church..
Every week now there's holy communion. I got the same verse again that written on the holy bread. It was John 15 : 7, "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you." 

I also went to a wedding party. I ate so many food! haha the cakes and the pastries were very delicious! (*^ω^*)




Anyway, What do you do during holidays?
Me... Hmm.. Nothing much!
I see my friends are very busy. They have their own business! haha
My best friend, Nia, she has to help her cousin's store. Also, Maya wants to go to another city for a week..
Yeah, I have to help my mom too, but there's no much work! So I'm able to go somewhere. But friends are busy! It's so boring at home. Just listening musics, writing something, and watching TV.
Sometimes I play piano too. Just play a few songs. Practicing worship songs. I'm confused about choosing the songs to play. I don't join piano course again. I stop because I was busy for school and also having economic condition...
Actually, I also miss playing tennis! It's been a long time. I love playing tennis. When I was in Junior High School, there's tennis extracurricular. It was really fun to play with some friends and practicing with the coach. My coach sees a potential in me. He asked me to join competition. I've ever joined. It was only 3 players. I played the first, and I lost. So I was 3 of 3! :/ haha, But it's a nice experience, private practicing almost everyday with my coach. And I got Rp 200.000,00 haha! (about $20). My coach also supported me. I had just learned about 4 months at that time, so I hadn't learned much technique! I wanted to join Tennis Club, but like what I said, my family is having an economic condition. It was hard...
In Senior High School, there's no tennis extracurricular, so I chose music. I rarely go to music extracurricular, because the teacher just talking and talking, it's kinda boring. Also it was on Saturday.
Even in Senior High School there's no tennis extracurricular but I still join playing tennis every Saturday with the Junior High School hehe. The coach liked to ask me join playing. Sometimes I buy him a drink or bread.
I was the only one of the Senior High School student there, I felt awkward, but that's my hobby, so I think it's okay! ^^ (even if it's not every week!)

The Beautiful Melody from the piano man

I'm inspired by Yuji Sugimoto. His piano performance is always amazing!
So I decided to write a short fiction about him.
Title: The Beautiful Melody from the piano man

In a quite midnight..

I heard the sound of piano.

The melody was very beautiful..

I began searching where the sound came from

I went looking for the sound.

I kept following the sound..

It was in the beautiful forest,

When the night looked so beautiful..

With the glittering stars..

I saw a beautiful big tree

And I realized that the sound came from that sacred tree

I touched the sacred tree..

I didn’t know why I felt so connected with the sound..

Just like in my dream last night,

I met a man playing the piano..

 Under the sacred tree, under the night stars, and with the fireflies flying around..

Didn’t know why it was so real,

But just believing..

The melody heard the same like in my dream

I closed my eyes enjoying the melody of the piano

Why was it so beautiful?

I couldn’t move.. I won’t go away from that sound

I could stay up all night just to listen to this beautiful melody.

I wonder if I could meet the person who played this melody.

I felt asleep under the tree..

In the morning, I didn’t hear the sound..

The sound still played in my mind,

But I felt sad that I couldn’t hear it again

I touched the sacred tree again,

Hoping that I could hear it again

I waited for so long

But there’s no sound.

So I decided to go home…

 

But then..

On my way back to home,

I heard the sound!

I quickly ran to the sacred tree again

I saw a man playing the piano,

Under the morning sunlight, under that sacred tree

He played the piano so beautiful, so emotional.

I tried to approached him

He looked at me and smiled

At that time, I prayed that I could always hear the melody that he played J

About Favorite Band

this is me and Maya,
promoting baygon,
just for fun! XD

Me and My best friend, Maya like WEAVER very much!

We think that WEAVER is different than any other band. The songs, and everything.. it's just different, and we love it!!!!!!

Created by : Me and Maya.

THIS IS WEAVER
(Shota Okuno,Yuji Sugimoto, Toru Kawabe)

Shota Okuno (Bass & Backing Vocals). He always looks cool with his bass or even without his bass! He is so talented in music. According to the interviews, he’s very smart! So we wish that he could teach us Haha :D it’s so good to watch his performance! In Indonesia, we think that many girls really like him!

it's taken by me @IndoJapanExpo

Yuji Sugimoto (Piano & Lead Vocals). His piano performance is very amazing! He’s very talented in music. You know, to sing and play piano is hard! He can also play guitar and harmonica. When he sings, he’s able to put his feelings into the songs, so whoever who listens to the song, also get the feeling. We think that he has a good personality! Makes us want to know more about him!

Toru Kawabe (Drum & Backing Vocals). He’s the one who writes the lyrics. The lyrics are very touching and interesting! He’s amazing! We love his performance too. We think that he is funny and friendly ^^. You know, we can call his performance “Cetar Membahana” (it’s in Indonesian, means very cool performance! – it’s a popular words in Indonesia >..<!)

We hope that someday we could meet them and eat Be-chan’s favorite food, “NASI GORENG!” (fried rice in Indonesian)

10 years in the band isn’t easy. It needs process, and hard work. But we love it that they still hold on and make great songs. They through the lows and the highs, but they’re still together like a family! They keep working hard for all of us! We’re sure that in the next years, they will always be a favorite band in Japan and even AROUND THE WORLD! :D keep improving! We love you WEAVER! 

WEAVER, You're more than a winner !

Give Thanks

I thank God for today, I still live in this world, I have a good family.
I've faced many problems because of Him.

 Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the Holy One
Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, His Son

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"
Let the poor say, "I am rich because of what the Lord has done for us"
Give Thanks! :)

FINALLY!

FINALLY.... I had passed the exams!!
I'm so happy! *not really happy actually! >.< cause I'm not satisfied with the results! To be a Junior High School student, you have to really work hard!

I got 96 in Mandarin, I was hoping that I got 100 but.... I made mistakes! But there's one thing that made me really happy.. Me and my best friend, Maya were the only 2 students in class that didn't have to remedial Math! At first, the teacher asked all of us to remedial, but while I was about to write the no.1 question, she said "Actually, there were 2 students that didn't have to....."--skip-- "You can go out...." // When I went out of class, me and Maya were very very happy! We thanked God that we didn't have to retest. We're so grateful. It's all because of God, not because our strength.. --- We quickly looking for an empty class and listening to WEAVER's songs.. (but we didn't turn on the music loud!) We jumped (like a crazy person)(＊´ω｀人´∀｀＊) . We sang 夢 じゃない この 世界! haha ((┌|o^▽^o|┘))♪

The lessons that related to science....(*¬*)
I don't really like science, but the teacher asks me to major science. They asked me several times, but I refused. (*￣m￣)
I also don't want to look for a job that related to Science. Science is hard *for me! xD hehe

I love learning language.. Especially, English. I want to learn more about English.. I still have to improve more! I still have to work hard! After I master English.. I think I will learn Japanese! ^^

Ah! Today I went to Japan Foundation to know more about Universities in Japan. The Japanese people are very friendly! I was very happy to talk with them (In English). Also there's a Japanese woman (that explained about Japanese Language School)-- She thought I was a Japanese, so she just spoke Japanese, She said "Konnichiwa!" I said, "Konnichiwa!" then she started talking in Japanese.... I said "I can't speak Japanese!" haha and she started talking in English.

I'm so interested of going to Japanese University.. // yeah it's very hard! the cost is very expensive!
The Japanese people are very friendly!  ヽ(‘∀`○)ﾉ
Kwansei Gakuin University.. the University which Toru Kawabe (WEAVER) graduated...
Hmm.. I think it's hard to enter that university *according to the one who explained Kwansei Gakuin University (Economics Professor)..........but what makes me interested in Kwansei Gakuin University is.. it's a Christian University.

Hmm.. anyway I wanna watch Kei vs Federer, I have to support him! hihi >.<


Let me hear your experience! ^^
see you again！(*ゝェ・)/~☆Bye-Bye♪
