Hey, Tom! I Love Your Songs!

A long time ago in galaxy far far away... ups! wrong sentence haha *bad jokes I know*. About a long time ago I found a video on Instagram, it came from a kids clothing line account, showing several kids wear a nice clothes with a nice backsound in it. I fell in love with the music immediately but I can't find what song is it. There is no description about the song in that video and I try to ask them about it but they never reply my comment... sigh.

Time passed by and I was watching a French TV series called "Loin De Che Nouz" (it's a nice tv series by the way), it was a final episode and suddenly I heard the same song as in the IG's video I saw before. I'm so surprised and wait for the movie credits, I'm waiting and waiting but I can't find the tittle of the song until the end. It was so fast so I can't read it clearly. But I'm not give up yet haha, I got an idea, I'm searching about the movie on Google and found a streaming site to watch the series. I'm re-watching the final episode hope to find the song and finally I found it! Yay!! It's a song from a musician called Tom Rosenthal, the tittle is 'Dabilo', it is the song which I fell in love from the first time.

Since then I'm searching about Tom Rosenthal and his music. I'm listening his songs through Youtube and I really LOVE it!! It's like when I found about Akeboshi, another fav musician. Tom's music is really nice and feels magical / nostalgic at the same time. I love the lyrics and the music too. His video clip are nice too, you should watch it! Although I don't know him in real life but I think Tom Rosenthal is a nice person and a nice dad. I can tell by his Instagram post and his vlog on Youtube. He have such a beautiful family. He is funny too, I love how he replied a comment with a joke and he can make a funny song along with a hilarious video clip xDD I wish I can meet him in person and watch his performance live, Amen!

Bandung, Wedding and Friends

Someone ask me to update this blog again, he insist I have to update immediately because he want to know about my life a.k.a 'kepo' hahahaha. Well, sorry for being inactive for a while guys, to be honest I have several things to write in here but sometimes I just don't have time to blogging again. Okay, let's start!

Have a chance to visit Bandung and Jatinangor again after a long time, my friend Ayu invite me for her wedding and I have something to do in Bandung too so I decided to come. Meet up with friends I miss so much, eat yummy foods and talk about everything with them really makes me happy. I rarely meet them again after graduation so when there is a wedding invitation like this, we didn't miss this opportunity to meet each other :D Although we did have a little 'incident' during our trip to Ciwalk Lol. I miss you guys already, see you next time my friends! I visited my old 'kost' too and met 'Abah', my lovely kost caretaker. Happy to met him again after a long time, he really a nice man and he still remember me! hehe.

It was 3 days 2 nights full of fun in Bandung. Happy wedding Ayu and see ya Bandung!

Hayao Miyazaki, a Truly Inspiring Japanese Walt Disney

Yesterday I watch a tv show from NHK World, NHK Documentary. The show presenting Hayao Miyazaki, if you loves Japanese anime especially Studio Ghibli anime then you do know who Miyazaki is. Hayao Miyazaki is animated film director of Studio Ghibli which have released many amazing animated film since 1988. Many people from around the world loves the anime from Studio Ghibli (including me) and one of the Ghibli's anime, 千と千尋の神隠し / Spirited Away (2001) has won The Academy Awards. If you are looking for a nice animated film then you should watch Studio Ghibli's anime, it's really recommended!

I'm getting excited when I watch the documentary program, I mean hey it's Miyazaki you know.. I have to watch this! Lol. From this tv show I can see his personality and character and I adore him immediately. He is such a perefectionist person, hard worker and his creativity never faded although he already 75 years old (in the documentary show). Miyazaki decided to retire 4 years ago and in this documentary show (2015-2016) during his retirement day, besides makes some art to display in Studio Ghibli Museum he also as try to make a new short film using CGI technology which he never try it before (he prefer to make an animated film from a manual drawing). Working along with a group of young animators he trying to cooperate with them. Miyazaki with his perfectionist character trying to explain his idea and give the animators various inputs.

I can see that Miyazaki is an amazing person. He keep make a new creation in his old days, a hard workers, perfectionist, and full of consideration towards so many things. Although sometimes he feel exhausted and have no stamina but he still make a creation. He looks firms and fierce but he also care for his employee. In the documentary show he once scolded his young employee. He is complaining the employee's work on Studio Ghibli, but of course I think he scolded that young employee for  his own good. He want the workers give the best for everything he did especially in anime production. 

And there is another scene where Miyazaki watch a presentation from a graphic designer from an IT company. The graphic designer shows Miyazaki a graphic video about zombie movement for a game (or something like that, I forgot ^^;). The designer tells that he make the zombie walk using his head / his back in the video to make it looks like a real zombie and looks creepy. He make a zombie who have no idea to use his body part such as leg / foot to walk. In that moment Miyazaki pause for a moment then said that he did not like something like that, at all. When he watch the zombie video he remember his friend who is handicap.  Miyazaki tells that his friend hard to make a simple gesture like doing a high five and he think that things like that video showing a weird gesture that looks like a handicap person, is not a nice thing at all. He did not like it and even ask the designer team about what purpose / achievement they want to get with the CGI technlogy. The designer team said they want to make a program that can make an animated film / drawing on his own without human helps (like a machine). The answer makes Miyazaki a little upset and disappointed. He said that people nowadays have lack of confident with their ability. Perhaps he just sad that after several years, people nowadays sometimes blinded with the technology and want everythings to be simple / replace by a machine, while Miyazaki believe every person have his own potential and need to be a hard worker, that's what I think.

After a while the short film which Miyazaki and young animators began to make a progress. Even Miyazaki got a new idea and decided to make a new movie in the future along with Toshio Suzuki, anime film producer and a colleage of Hayao Miyazaki. The movie is planned to be completed in 2019, just one year before Tokyo Olympic. I can't wait!

Relax and Let's Play Water!

Red Hair Part 2

Okay so after my hair turned into nasty color like that (look at my previous post) I decide to bought Freshlight. This time I try Melty Cherry color and I think it will turn out nice and it did! Yokatta! :D I use only half of the product because half of the product is enough for my short hair, FYI Freshlight foam is enough for your medium / long hair because I use it for my long hair before. But half of the product actually is not turn as red as I want so I try to recoloring again after several days using the rest of the product I have. And tadaaa~ I have a nice color now! I'm satisfied! hehehe.

I hope it will last longer not like Beauty labo but now after 2 weeks the color starting to fade too *sigh I think red color did not last longer on my hair or is it because I'm not use shampoo for coloring hair? I know that anti dandruff shampoo can make hair color fade easily but yea, afterall I'm quite satisfied with the product (Freshlight). Let's see what hair color I choose next hahaha ;)
