BRUNO MARS LIVE IN JAKARTA 5 APRIL 2011

Gue nyampe di FX buat parkir mobil (tinggal nyebrang kan Istora sama FX) sekitar jam 4an dan kebetulan banget ketemu temen kampus gue yang mau nonton Bruno Mars juga. Tadinya gue mau nyebrang ke Istora entar-entaran aja sekitar jam 5 an gitu soalnya open gate jam 6 sore dan gue janjian sama temen gue yang lain sekitar jam segituan karena doi harus ngantor dulu. tapi, temen kampus gue ini malah ngajakkin nyebrang ke Istora saat itu juga, akhirnya gue ikutan aja karena gue sendirian juga di FX. dan ternyata emang orang-orang udah pada ngantri jam segitu, tapi ngantrinya masih cukup sepi, hingga akhirnya… GUE DAPET SPOT DI DEPAN PANGGUNG.

Bruno Mars decided not to have any opening act. so, we waited about 4 hours (kalo diitung dari jam 4 sore nunggu open gate) sampe akhirnya Bruno Mars keluar ke atas panggung sekitar jam 8an.

Begitu yang ditunggu-tunggu keluar, semua orang, terutama cewek-cewek di paling depan (termasuk gue) langsung HEBOH. yang tadinya berdiri santai, semuanya langsung dorong-dorongan kayak ibu-ibu mau dibagiin jatah sembako (eh tapi kalo sembakonya berbentuk Bruno Mars, gue juga bakalan heboh berebutan sih…).

 

Pembukaan diisi oleh Bruno Mars yang langsung ngambil alih posisi drummer. He was FRIGGIN AWESOME on the drum!!!! A man with full of talents indeed! He was showing his mad skill on the drum. terus langsung lanjut ke lagu pertama yaitu “The Other Side”, and we were all sing along. Jujur, gue lupa urutan-urutan lagunya, tapi yang jelas doi nyanyiin semua lagunya kecuali “Talking To The Moon”.

 

Bruno Mars on the drum set showin some sick skill! (sorry if it's not clear enough)

Bruno Mars juga nyanyiin lagu “Nothin On You” with his own version, without B.O.B rap. bagian rap nya diisi liriknya dia sendiri yang gue hafal mati di luar kepala sementara semua orang pada diem, cuma gue doang yang ikutan nyanyi keras-keras deh kayaknya hahahaha (yes, I’m a die hard HOOLIGANS!). tapi bagian yang paling bikin iri plus bikin mau bunuh diri adalah…. ADA 1 CEWEK YANG DINYANYIIN SAMA BRUNO MARS! langsung geger 1 Istora Senayan. gak percaya? cek video nya nih:

gak ngerti lagi deh gimana kalo yang dinyanyiin itu gue, bisa epilepsi di tempat kali. and hear how he sang “Indonesian girls…” with that pretty voice. DAMN IT!

momen faforit gue adalah waktu Bruno Mars nyanyi “Runaway Baby”. semua gaya dance nya H.O.T gila-gilaan!!! he knows how to drive all the girls craaaazy! apalagi pas di bagian “there’s only one carrot and they all gotta share it!” while pointing to his “carrot” (silahkan di loncat ke menit 1:25)

BIKIN MAU PINGSAN MASSAL GAK SIH??? *geragotin wortel*

 

momen faforit ke dua adalah waktu doi nyanyi lagu “Our First Time”. Secara itu lagu liriknya sensual sekali (silahkan di Google sendiri liriknya), doi nyanyiinnya juga pake mendesah-desah gitu kan bikin imajinasi meliar kemana-mana *ehm*. sayang gak ada video nya sih, belom nemu lebih tepatnya.

 

Lagu “Just The Way You Are” jadi kurang dapet feel nya karena gak dipake pas di penutupan konser, yang dijadiin lagu penutup malah “Runaway Baby”.

 

Anyway, I was screaming Philip’s name (the backing vocal guy) at the whole show. abisnya, semua orang pada neriakkin Bruno Mars, kalo gue ikutan neriakkin juga doi gak bakalan denger. akhirnya gue memilih untuk neriakkin si Phil “I LOVE YOU” berkali-kali secara gue sama dia hadep-hadepan gitu, dan kebetulan dari antara semua cewek-cewek bagian depan yang tau namanya doi dan neriakkin doi cuma gue doang. jadilah si Phil kiss bye ke gue dan bilang “I LOVE YOU” balik. GILAAAAAAA SENENG BANGEEEEETTTT!!!! I WAS BLOOOOOWN AWAY!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA gak papa deh gak dapet dari Bruno Mars, dari Phil juga udah cukup hihihihi. ngomong-ngomong yang mana sih Phil? nih yang ini orangnya:

 

yes, he was pointing at me!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Phil is also in the Smeezington (nama tim dimana mereka produce lagu bareng Bruno Mars juga) and he also writes music with Mr. Bruno Mars himself and they are best friends.

gue sebenernya pengen neriakkin band member yang lain sebenernya tapi berdirinya pada jauh-jauh di belakang, gak kuat teriak kenceng-kenceng gara-gara gak boleh bawa minum ke dalem tempat konser. dan ya, leher gue langsung somplak selesai konser. besokkan paginya, badan gue mulai dari kaki, tangan, sampe leher bagian belakang sakit semua. dan gara-gara kebanyakkan teriak-teriak, kalo mangap aja sakit lho mulut gue. ekstrim ye? berarti gue semalem super heboh deh kayaknya. Ya gimana gak mau heboh, orang yang berdiri di depan gue tuh cewe bertubuh tinggi gede plus gendut gitu dan semaleman selama konser gue kerjaannya main sikut-sikutan sama doi. makanya baru setengah jam konser energi gue udah abis gara-gara perang main sikut-sikutan sama orang depan. terus ada lagi cewek kecil pendek, lebih pendek dari gue sok-sok nyelip dari belakang ke samping gue. gue ketekkin aja, kepalanya gue taro tangan gue yang pegel sambil moto-motoin plus video in Bruno Mars hahahahahahahaha

 

tapi sayang nya, durasi konser nya sebentar banget deh, masa cuma 1 jam 15 menit an gitu. gue gak tau ini cuma perasaan gue doang apa gimana, tapi gue merasa konser nya tuh kayak cepet-cepet gitu lho. gue kan sering nontonin konser Bruno Mars yang di negara-negara lain ya di Youtube, he was like taking more time at the stage and joking around more. kalo kemaren ini tuh dia kayak nyanyinya disambung terus, bercanda sama ngobrol-ngobrolnya dikit banget. terus kata temen gue yang nonton di belakang, sound system nya kurang memuaskan gitu. gue gak ngeh sih kalo soal sound system.

 

Meanwhile, here’s another pictures of the concert:

sweaty + smiling = HOTNESS OVERLOAD!

KENJI! <3

OVERALL… the concert was hella SICKKKKK!!! I was having an EXTREMELY GREAT TIME!! Gue orangnya jarang banget emang nonton konser. kalo gak suka-suka amat ya males juga beli tiket plus ngeluarin uangnya. Tapi kalo emang udah nge fans banget sampe gak ketolong lagi, bakal gue bela-belain deh demi ngeliat orangnya hahaha. This Bruno Mars concert is a lifetime experience. Gue gak nyangka doi yang baru terkenal gitu langsung di boyong ke sini sama oom Adrie Subono (thanks berat oom!), sould out pula tiketnya! ternyata, diem-diem penggemarnya Bruno Mars banyak juga ya di Indonesia

Thanks Bruno and the band for coming to Indonesia, hope you guys got a great time here. Thank you Bruno for getting wild with us at the concert LOL

BOK WITH US!!! (fans beratnya Bruno Mars pasti tau artinya )

 

last but not least, me, with yours truly, Mr. Bruno Mars

Vampires Suck

I know you guys know about this Twilight’s spoof, maybe some of you have been waiting for this movie just like me. Walaupun katanya film ini buat Twilight haters, gue yang termasuk Twilight lovers pun excited juga kok nungguin filmnya keluar

In my opinion, the movie is quite funny. Menurut gue, bagian lucunya tuh cuma di beberapa scene tertentu aja, enggak setiap scene lucu. You know, sometimes their humor taste is just different with us, Asians. There’s just some jokes I didn’t get.

Tapi yang gue salut banget adalah yang meranin karakter Becca alias Bella versi KW-13 nya, Jenn Proske, she is VERY capable of embracing Kristen Stewart’s act and body language in the movie. Gerak-gerik aktingnya Jenn Proske tuh bener-bener mirip gaya aktingnya si Kristen Stewart kalo jadi Bella. Gue aja daritadi nonton sampe terheran-heran bisa banget dia akting sama persis gitu walaupun mukanya beda jauh. And do you want to know an interesting fact about Jenn Proske? She’s just graduated from Boston University in 2009 with a BFA in Acting/Theatre Arts CUM LAUDE, and apparently this Vampires Suck movie is her first movie ever. Someone’s got some serious acting skill here!

Terus yang jadi bokapnya Bella juga mirip banget.  And as for the other characters, I just think that they really fit in into the characters. I think the casting team did a really good job in sorting out the casts.

Anyway, another plus side from the movie, and also the highlight of this movie review, is…..

CHRIS RIGGI, WHO PLAYS JACOB, IS AWESOMELY HOT!!!!

PLEASE! TAKE A VERY GOOD LOOK OF THIS PHOTO LADIES!!!

Right after I saw him as Jacob, I know that Taylor Lautner has some serious competition here! Apalagi pas Chris Riggi buka baju, badannya juga gak kalah HOT sama Taylor Lautner walaupun masih gedean Taylor. But stillllll, Chris Riggi is undeniably HOT!

And as for the negative side of this movie, despite of the not-so-funny scenes, is the not-so-funny ending. Kayaknya garing aja endingnya gitu. But overall, it’s quite entertaining. Lumayan deh buat hiburan iseng-iseng getoooooo

PS : This is officially my last weekend of the 3-month holiday! So sad, but I really miss college, though I know this feeling won’t last long. But look at the bright side, setelah masuk seminggu, langsung libur lebaran lagi seminggu lalalala ya mayan deh hahahaha

Viva Las Vegas

Okay, I thought a 3 month holiday will leave me many stories to be written in this blog. But, apparently, it is not. So, I am very sorry for the lack of posting, it’s not that I’ve been busy with holiday (believe me, I always stay on my bed almost every day), but I just don’t know what to write T____T

Anywaaaaaaaayyyy….

Since I watched the movie “When In Rome“, I practically fell in love with this actor named Josh Duhamel.

I KNOOOWWW!!!! GORGEOUS, ISN’T HE?!?!?!?! well, sadly, at first I didn’t know that he is married to Fergie. yeah, what a lucky bitch girl.

and if you guys notice, Josh also playing in all Transformer sequels as Major William Lenox, and also Win A Date With Tad Hamilton as Tad Hamilton.

anyway, then a friend of mine told me that Josh was playing on this TV series titled “Las Vegas“.

I wasn’t interested to watch the show at first, but then I gave it a try because I wanted to see Josh playing on the series so badly. But after I watched some of the episodes, I find that this tv series is REALLY interesting. What I really love about it is that the series has the whole package: Action with a twist of comedy, romance, family and friendship. What would you expect more? and also not to forget the amazing casts and story line. Honestly, at first I only found Josh Duhamel to be the most attractive character among all. But soon after I got captivated by the show, I practically fell in love with ALL of the characters. each of the characters has a different yet attractive personalities that makes the show more interesting.

BUT TOO BAD…. NBC canceled the show!!!!!!! IT REALLY PISSED ME OFF! Why? Because the ending of the last season (season 5) IS  A CLIFFHANGER!!!! And what pissed me off more is that NBC didn’t do anything to please their viewers. NBC didn’t even give a chance to the show creator, Gary Scott Thompson, to make a decent and nice ending. And as for now, I keep wondering to myself, how the hell is going to happen in season 6!! shame on you, NBC!! I heard that NBC had canceled many great shows and it pissed off the viewers. GOOD. because it’s pissing me off too!

I was wondering around the Las Vegas forums and I read through all the threads in the forums, and I found out that there are a lot of Las Vegas fans who want the show to be back on air. In fact, they had launched a mission called “Save Las Vegas” campaign where they sent the NBC letters and even MONEY in order to get Las Vegas back on air because we know that one of the reason Las Vegas can’t get back on tv is because the cost to re-run the new season is pretty expensive. the creator itself really wanted to continue the season, or at least made a proper ending, but NBC just didn’t want to so there’s nothing he can do about it. Las Vegas is one of the most expensive and highly cost tv series in the industry. And also a “Baby Booties” campaign. See, we really ARE loyal fans and NBC just doesn’t give a damn about it!

But up to right now, I see so many people are still yelling at many forums, insisting to bring Las Vegas back to live. I just hope someday, NBC would be “sober” enough to finally let Las Vegas back on tv. Or maybe some other networks would be smart enough to take over Las Vegas and make a huge come back on screen. I really hope it would happen.

And let me tell you this NBC: ONCE YOU BRING BACK LAS VEGAS ON TV, YOU’LL REGRET YOUR STUPID DECISION ON CANCELING THE SHOW! IN FACT, YOU’LL GAIN MUCH MORE PROFIT THAN EVER BECAUSE EVERYBODY, AND I REALLY MEAN EVERYBODY, HAS BEEN WAITING FOR LAS VEGAS TO COME BACK! TRUST ME!

Fingers crossed, guys!

PS: Ever since I watched Las Vegas, I have this huge obsession of going to Las Vegas. I even put a Las Vegas sign as my blackberry wallpaper:

I just want to prove myself of how fun Las Vegas can be. Yeah, I should go there, maybe someday

PSS: You should try to watch Las Vegas. If you’re interested to watch the series, here’s to download the whole 5 seasons: link. I’m waiting for your own review about Las Vegas on my blog, leave a comment
