skyscraper

hey blogspot! i bet you have heard about the new song from demi lovato titled "SKYSCRAPER". if you haven't, you should play the song soon.

anyway, i admire this song's lyrics! the lyric is very touching & so meaningful. there is a BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE from this song! i learned from this song that we should be A SKYSCRAPER to rise up from any obstacle & bitter problem (from any sides) which pain our heart & soul. we should prove to other people that we aren't weak & we are strong like a steel. every matter has solving. i get a lot of problems during my life but this song motivates me to keep moving forward & give fighting spirit! (:

i don't want to talk a lot on this entry because i'm not a motivator. okay i have an entertainment for you, these are from 2 teen youtubers: jessica & chloe. because i watch their videos often, so i put their new music video using skyscraper song. every videos of them has their own concept. but i love theirs both!

first is from jessica (musicvidbudz) about haters.


second is from chloe (grlygrl112211) about to be yourself.

i think she has message to me that we don't need anybody's permission to be ourselves.


do you like demi's new song?

My Moment by Rebecca Black

hi blogspot, so we meet again in this post,, now, i will write about new single of rebecca black titled "my moment". if you haven't watched the video, you can watch it on youtube. the video was released on july 18th (USA time) . ok, it's not important.




i think rebecca black wants to tell to all of her haters in this world that she can reach her dream. in the video, you can see rebecca was acting like star / celebrity. it's good idea Justin Bieber make this song for her. so she can prove to the world that all her haters did wrong.

about my opinion to rebecca black, she looks prettier in "my moment" video than in "friday" video. then, the video concept is quite creative to describe how rebecca black is a star around her haters & fans.

okay, i'm not the fan of rebecca black although i don't hate her at all. but her songs are not the type of songs I like.

so, what's your opinion about she released new single?

Part 2: J U D A S – Lady Gaga [The Video Review of Tika’s Version]

dear blogspot who keep listening me,

sorry for the late post again. so this post is about the part 2 of my review about JUDAS by Lady Gaga. and this one is the MUSIC VIDEO REVIEW after i wrote about the lyrics review a few weeks ago.

the first time when i watched JUDAS music video, my comment is SUPER COOL EPIC CONCEPT! this one the SURPRISE from lady gaga to her world fans. the video concept is SO CREATIVE! i really really admire lady gaga. she's very very adorable as the composer, singer, dancer, choreographer, and director! (: this is TOTALLY AMAZING. lady gaga put everything perfect for her JUDAS professional project <3

i studied catholic religion in my school from grade 1 and i learned alot about the journey of Jesus and his disciples to Jerusalem so i think this video concept is similar with what i learned in school before.

so for you all who haven't watched her cool creativity,, you should watch her judas video on youtube! i hope you have the same thought with me.

but this JUDAS video put a lot of CONTROVERSIAL from many people around the world because this one such a crazy idea.



and these one are my review, my version.

- i thought that the concept is about modern life of Jesus. you can see how handsome the actor who played Jesus is, how pretty Lady gaga as Mary Magdalene is, how sophisticated the Jesus apostles use to go everywhere (the motorcycle) is. LOL. you can see on the fashion they use on the video. and also the property, the places, the video settings. lady gaga acts as mary magdalene.

- on the beginning, lady gaga was on the motorcycle with Jesus (symbolized by the man with the crown on his head), followed by Jesus' apostles who were riding motorcycle too. lady gaga looked happy with Jesus. but suddenly, judas came to the Jesus' motor, came approach to Lady Gaga and influenced her.

- Jesus saved Lady Gaga away from Judas (on the crowd fight scene) but lady gaga decided to follow Judas.

- but finally, Lady Gaga feels guilty to leave Jesus. She can't ignore the Judas' temptations.

- then, lady gaga was veiled on red and blue scarf. that was to indicate that Lady Gaga acted as Mary Magdalene.

- lady gaga pointed "peter" name (one of Jesus' disciples). that was to symbolize what Peter said in the Holy Bible about Peter as the priest finally.

- there is lipstick gun scene where lady gaga put lipstick to Judas's lip, i think that was to symbolize that Judas was bad guy who betrayed holy man, Jesus. and lady gaga knew about it so she wanted to kill Judas but she couldn't because she was really in love with Judas. that's why she just put lipstick gun on Judas lip as her love mark. this was following by the session where Judas kiss Jesus chick was to symbolize that Judas totally betrayed Jesus. i'm sure that was adapted from Holy Bible.

- the next session was when lady gaga was standing by the ocean waves. that was to symbolize lady gaga was hard to choose. she was confused to choose between Jesus or Judas. she was like a boat which was swayed in the middle of the ocean. she couldn't decide her choice certainly.

- and then, she was sitting between Jesus (God) and Judas (evil) on the bathtub. i think she was choosing which one she will follow as the truth way.

- finally, she choose Jesus. so she washed Jesus' feet. i think this was adapted by HOly Bible too where Mary Magdalene washed Jesus' feet and put fragrance on His feet. so Jesus forgave Lady Gaga.

- but because Lady Gaga had been making sin because she followed Judas before, so she was punished by standing in the middle of a lot of people and the people should throw a lot of stones & rocks to Lady Gaga until she was died. (the scene where lady gaga wear white dresses on the eventually scene). that was also adapted from Holy Bible where Mary Magdalene want to be thrown by alot of people with stones because she did adultery but finally she didn't because Jesus help her so Mary Magdalene wasn't died. but in Lady Gaga music video concept, Lady Gaga was died.

okay, i feel i like a religion teacher who teach you about some of Holy Bible verse. but once again, i don't mean to be a religion teacher / priest / pastor who instruct you.

i think the song is not meant to offend any religion. i know this JUDAS song get a lot of angers and dislike critics from a lot of people. but i don't want to intervene. everyone has their own right to give opinion.

i think that it is a metaphor for always loving the wrong guy, when your really true love that is good for you is right in front of you


how is your opinion about JUDAS by Lady Gaga?



tika  <3

NOTE:
1. this post is not meant to offend.
2. i don't mean to instruct you like a religion teacher / priest / pastor.
3. this review is totally my opinion.

Part 1: J U D A S – Lady Gaga [The Lyrics Review of Tika’s Version]

Dear blogspot who keep listening me,

Since I’m Catholic so I’m writing about this. In this entry, I’m going to review about the newest {not the newest anymore} of lady gaga’s song titled JUDAS. I have found this song about 2 months ago and I saved this posts on my blog’s draft to be published. Why is the reason? Because I think this song’s titled is CATCHY although finally it’s not my favorite song. I just knew JUDAS is one of Jesus Christ’s apostle who betrayed Jesus. First I thought it was a religious song. I knew this song is different from other pop songs because I know Lady Gaga is the most creative singer, dancer & composer. This song is so meaningful and it uses a lot of connotation words. The song has biblical sense. The song lyrics describe about some of the content in Holy Bible because it used some of Bible’s stories & verses whereas it’s not religious song. So that’s why I’m stunned to this song. Since I found this song were released, I thought this song would be the hits song & be on the first chart of the songs’ list every week so far. So on this entry, I will start the review of the lyrics first. It’s my version. and I don't want to lecture you since I'm not pastor / priest. Okay, start now:

"When he comes to me, I am ready I'll wash his feet with my hair if he needs"

- Some of this lyric is maybe based on Luke 7:37-38:

7:37 And there was a woman who was famous as a sinner (Mary Magdalene). When she heard thatJesus was eating at the Pharisee's house, brought a marble jar containing fragrant oil.
7:38 While crying she went to stand behind Jesus near his feet, and then wetting his feet with her ​​tearsand wiped them with her ​​hair, then she kissed His feet and oiled it with the perfume.

- What Lady Gaga inspired:

Maybe Lady Gaga wants to treat Judas like Mary Magdalene (the sinner) treated Jesus as God. Because in this song, Lady Gaga fall in love to Judas, so she wants to do anything for Judas.

"Forgive him when his tongue lies through his brain Even after three times, he betrays me"

I think this lyrics based on Matthew 26:75 = “Peter remembered the words of Jesus when he said, "Before a rooster crows, you will deny me three times." Then he went outside and cried bitterly.”

- What Lady Gaga inspired:

Lady Gaga admires Jesus who always forgive everyone although they have tons of sins and of course Jesus forgive one of His apostle (Petrus) who betrayed Him / lied that he was not Jesus’s apostle for three times. So does Lady Gaga who will always forgive Judas on this song.

"I'll bring him down, bring him down, down A king with no crown, king with no crown"

I think this lyric based on Matthew 27: 29-31=

²⁹And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! ³⁰And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.³¹And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

Matthew 27: 37 = ³⁷ Above his head they placed the written charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

- What Lady Gaga inspired:

Lady Gaga wants to put Judas as Jesus. Jesus is The King without crown but with thorn. He was insulted.

"I'm just a Holy fool, oh baby he's so cruel
But I'm still in love with Judas, baby"

I think the meaning is: Lady gaga feels stupid to keep loving Judas whereas she knows that Judas is not good.

"I couldn't love a man so purely Even darkness forgave his crooked way I've learned love is like a brick, you can Build a house or sink a dead body"
I think the meaning is : Lady Gaga never love men purely except Judas. Her love to Judas is too strong. And she had the meanings of love is like a house. Lady Gaga wants to tell, with the love we can build a paradise or hell.

"In the most Biblical sense, I am beyond repentance Fame hooker, prostitute wench, vomits her mind" But in the cultural sense I just speak in future tense"

I think the meaning is: It’s clear how the lyric is described. Lady Gaga admits that she is not a good woman in biblical sense because she did prostitutions & hunted much money. But actually she did it because of the times’ demands as modern human.

"I wanna love you, But something's pulling me away from you Jesus is my virtue, Judas is the demon I cling to I cling to"
I think the meaning is: There is an x factor made Lady Gaga stop loving Judas because there is Jesus. She knows Judas is not good. She knows that the best one is only Jesus – her virtue (based on John 8:31-32 = ³¹ To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. ³² Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free") Lady Gaga realizes that she should go away from Judas.

NOTES :

1. This entry is not meant to insult any religion.

2. This meaning of Judas lyrics is only my estimation, my version.

3. My reason to write this post is just because the song title is catchy & different from other pop songs & also because the song uses a lot of connotative words & so meaningful. I don’t want to lecture you guys since I’m not pastor / priest.

4. I gonna make the Part 2 of this entry. In the second part, I will review the actions of the music video of Judas by Lady Gaga which I have watched.

Okay then, thanks for reading. See you in part 2! (:

sorry for the late post again. so two weeks ago, my parents and I went to singapore on weekend just for 1 night. it's not my first departure to singapore. and this one is very quick trip to kill our spare times on weekend while on monday, my parents should get up for works. so we decided to go to universal studios in sentosa island. we just visited one place whole day whereas there are many more interesting places in sentosa. my father said this weekend trip was to celebrate my birthday a few days before our departure.

(07.00 am singapore time - just 1 hour on plane). atlhough i'm tired, this trip is quite fun. especially, i took many photos of my dreamy places (hollywood boulevard, LA). yes, although it is fake, but i'm still thankful enough because the pictures is not too different with the real one although the atmosphere is different. so i still daydream, one day i could go to the real hollywood & took pictures with costumed characters i have ever written in this blog! (:

so this post is my updates on February since i was quit for 1 month.

on this post, i will write about Mother Mary who had granted my request. I'M REALLY THANKFUL TO HER. so if you are Catholics and you want your positive requests to be granted, you can ask Mother Mary and trust Her that your request will be granted. She is so kind and forgives our sins. Only Her who can be an intermediary to Her son, Jesus Christ. She will put miracles to our positive requests. there is nothing impossible for Her so that's why most of our + requests will be granted. i don't force you to believe this. and i don't want vilify other religions. so i hope no one is offended.

and also i updated this blog for my beloved cousin, tiffany. she is far away from me because she doesn't live in asia. i have written special post about her on previous post. i often mention her name in this blog. yes, because i really admire her. i really want to meet her not only from web cam. i really want to keep our best friendship and also our sisterhood relation. she is so kind. she is different with other girls i met in my school. she is my best friend & also my best sister. i don't have sibling who is/are female. and also i don't have kind cousin like her. only her who is my best friend and my best cousin. I'M LUCKY TO HAVE HER. since i started talking to her, my life is more colorful & not boring. with her, i can tell everything in my brain to her. it's so fun to talk with her a lot although just using web cam. she taught me so many things. it's worth to chat with her because i can have more fun experience & information which entertain me.

so yeah, thank you Mother Mary.
and also thank you tiffany.

NEW YEAR’S EVE: goodbye 2010 & #2010memories

Dear blogspot who keep listening me,

Today is the LAST DAY on 2010. How sad I am to end 2010 because I can’t replay all beautiful moments I have got on 2010. 2010 is just onceeeee. There are too many memories should be memorized. I don’ t remember all of those. I’m shocked with bad moments on 2010. 2010 is like roller coaster. Sometimes I was up and I was down. Goodbye 2010!

I started 2010 with really bad moment. My mom was hospitalized for 3 days on 1^st January – 3^rd January because she got diarrhea. That’s made me absent from school on 4^th January (the first day I should go back to school again after Christmas holiday). And my dad spent a lot of money to that. In 2010 I was 17 and there was nothing special on my seventeenth. There was no party or anything to celebrate my sweet seventeen. But I tried to be more mature woman. But now I’m still childish. Well. Failed! On Chinese New Year 2010, I got a lot of money from my parents, my grandmother, my aunts and uncles. But it doesn’t mean I’m addicted to money. On 2010, I celebrated Easter without decorating eggs. I went to Jakarta if it’s not mistaken and I joined Holy Mass for 4 days there on White Thursday, Good Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I really really enjoyed my Easter holiday! And on June, I was very happy and excited because I had long holidays. And at that time, I always chat with Tiffany everyday. I spent the holidays in Bandung and Jakarta for weeks. I went to a lot of malls and bought a lot of things, ate in various restaurants to try a lot of different delicious foods, visited my grandmother and my mom’s family in Jakarta, went to entertainment places, etc. I made first video on my youtube channel on 4^th June (the exact date when USA has independence day). As you know, I’m really boring and lazy to go to school during 2010. Well, I was on grade 11^th term 2 on January – June 2010 and I was on grade 12nd term 2 on July – December 2010. I didn’t get good scores on grade 12. My scores were little down. On 2010, I had a lot of dreams but I couldn’t make it comes true on that year. I wanted to be businesswoman who is focus in entertainment places and hotels. I’m not sure I could be because my parents didn’t permit me. On 2010, i celebrated indonesia’s independence day like every year. I joined flag ceremony in my school. I watched national’s flag ceremony on tv. On September 2010, i was home when my maid servants left my home to celebrate ied day in their houses. So I did whatever my maid servants do usually such as sweep & mop the floor, wash clothes & dishes, iron the clothes, clean the car, etc. And I recorded it on my chores video and uploaded it on youtube. But I was really disappointed because my chores video was blocked by music labels because I used “iyiyi” song by cody simpson. Whereas, I had written about the song which was used by me before uploaded it. But it’s ok, I will re-upload it if I had time, of course with high pitched so music label would not block my video again. On October 2010, my eldest brother’s wedding was cancelled because of some reasons. Whereas my dad had spent a lot of money to prepare the wedding. And on December, I didn’t have special or memorable Christmas day because I just was on home. But it’s ok for me. I still could enjoy the Christmas at that time. (: Well, so on 2010 I just only on Indonesia. I never gone to other country on 2010. How miserable it is! Ok, it is no problem. Just saying.

SO today as the last day of 2010, on new year’s eve I want to make my 2010 moments are better by memorizing all the 2010 moments and writing them on this blog. How about you? Are you ready to end this 2010? Are you ready to enter 2011 of course and treasure it? Are you ready to ride higher roller coaster on 2011?

♥bye bye 2010♥
