Unfolding a new year



    Every man should be born again on the first day of January. Start with a fresh page. Take up one hole more in the buckle if necessary, or let down one, according to circumstances; but on the first of January let every man gird himself once more, with his face to the front, and take no interest in the things that were and are past.


    - Henry Ward Beecher



    As is fairly obvious by now, I've been examing Self for a few days now. Normally I don't do new year resolutions other than vague notions of 'losing weigh, looking after health, doing more exercise, save money, travel more'.


    This year, however, is a different year. I've never been in these circumstances before, never been diagnosed with depression before (even though the past few years it's clear it was building up). I always thought I felt sad because I was unsatisfied with my lot, that I could be happier if I was more social, lost weight, saved more money etc, hence the vague resolutions.


    But those resolutions were never kept. For one, I had no willpower. I was lethargic and felt it was just all too damn hard. I got spurts of determination but spurts aren't enough, determination needs to be consistent.


    This year I'm going to do the following. If I succeed, great. If I fall, I'll just get up, learn and try again.



    1. Obviously the first thing on my mind is to stop lashing out irrationally at those close to me, who don't deserve it. If I feel angry, WALK AWAY and ask why I'm feeling angry. Often I'm not angry at anything in particular but my head is such and I'm still trying to come to grips with this new landscape that I feel a sense of "WHY FUCKING ME?!?" It would be so much easier if it all went away, of course, but it's not going to, it's here and it's high time to learn to cope, strategise, deal with it.

    2. Learn to stand on my own two feet and be independent again. I used to be so independent - emotionally and mentally. Perhaps I isolated myself a bit too much at times, but I was independent. Now I need to distinguish between dependency on someone and independency. I have to remember how to do that and I'm confident I will. At the same time, I must not isolate myself again.

    3. I never really did like talking to a shrink that much. I felt no connection. It was helpful - to a point but I was never fully comfortable because they were complete strangers. I need a connection, know something about the person behind their profession. Unless I can find a shrink who reveals some personal side of her/himself, I may have to seek alternatives such as massages to relieve tension and stress. I'll keep searching.

    4. It's no big secret that mental health is closely related to physical health. So, yes, it's really time to do the whole bloody diet and exercise thing. For real. I eat relatively well (except when hot chips are present) but I lack exercise. Now I'm back in Brisbane, I'll start swimming again in the communal pool. Start walking again. I used to do a lot of walking but in the past year that died away as parts of me felt like dying.

    5. I know many friends and family are going to laugh at this one but I must get into a better sleeping pattern. With more exercise, I will sleep better - that was always the case with me. Nowadays I lie awake and can't turn my brain off. I need to do relaxing exercises that the last shrink taught me and switch my brain off. If I'm thinking of something too much, I'll jot them down in a note book so that I can get it out of my system for the night (it's incredible how writing down things, even in point form, helps). Earlier nights (except weekends!) and earlier mornings (also except weekends!).


    That's all I'm going to aim for, for now. I don't want to set such high expectations because they're unrealistic. Baby steps. Get back on track again. I've made one great big change by moving to Brisbane, I can do others too but slowly and surely.


    Oh, one more:



    • Save for trip overseas end of 2011/beginning of 2012, especially road trip in the USA. I've long wanted to do that and I had been saving well for it but, like everything else, it got pushed aside. It's time to start planning for that again. Start focussing on one of the more enjoyable things I like: travelling. After that will come the rest of the world but I need to see my friend in the USA first. (Hi Kel!)


    So. Pretty personal stuff because what if I don't keep these resolutions and it's all here - all these resolutions in public and I fail?


    Oh well. I'm only human. I figure by making it so public and open, important people in my life will see my sincerity and determination to try. I've also lost enough time. This is not my year to shrug and say, "whatever". This is my year to say, "If I fall, I'll just get up again." Over and over.

Dress you up - Madonna



    Foto: Divulgação

    Foto: Divulgação



    Esse clássico da carreira da Madonna, e dos anos 80, faz parte do segundo álbum de inéditas da cantora, o "Like a Virgin", lançado em 1984. A faixa título, "Material Girl" e "Into the Groove" (apenas nas versões européia e japonesa do disco) se tornaram hinos da rainha do pop.


    "Dress You Up", injustamente, ficou um pouco "esquecida" na memória do público em geral. Mesmo sendo tão ou mais sensacional que "Like a Virgin" e "Into the Groove".


    Na segunda parte da "Sticky & Sweet Tour", realizada em 2009, Madonna trocou "Bordeline" por "Dress You Up". Ótima escolha!


    Clipe retirado da "The Virgin Tour". Primeira turnê de Madonna, em 1985.


    "Gonna dress you up in my love
    All over, all over
    Gonna dress you up in my love
    All over your body…"

So far, so good.



    My life right now consists of watching independent movies in bed,
    smoking pot with my boyfriend in bed,
    and constantly listening to Liza With A 'Z' album.



    I feel a bit defeated lately.
    Me and a couple good friends have recently grown apart
    but I've decided to stop mourning our friendship and just keep going with my life.


    Me and my boyfriend got a sweet apartment on the Upper East Side,
    we are moving in next week. It is pretty small but for starters is perfect.
    I am kind of sad that I have to spend my 800 dollar savings on paying my share of the rent,
    and security deposit.
    I wish I could just go shopping with them instead.
    I need new boots, jeans, shirts, and jackets. Is getting quite cold in NYC.


    Wish I could look like a mix between Liza Minnelli, Madonna, and Lady Gaga.










    So far, so good.

MADONNA: HOLLYWOOD



    HOLLYWOOD


    El video musical es una crítica del superficial mundo de Hollywood que forma parte de la cultura estadounidense. Se muestran escenas de Madonna recibiendo inyecciones de botox, que actualmente es un símbolo de superficialidad característico de las celebridades hoy en día. El video se basó en recrear famosas fotografías tomadas por Guy Bourdin. Samuel Bourdin, hijo de Guy, no consideró el video como un homenaje, sino como un robo y demandó a Madonna por el uso de imágenes sin el consentimiento del autor (violación de derechos). Además Madonna en reiteradas ocasiones ya lo ha hecho sin problema alguno, pero en esta vez Bourdin quería que se le pagaran $600.000 dólares estadounidenses.


    El video de "Hollywood" fue filmado entre los días 2-3 de junio de 2003 en los Estudios Universal de California y estuvo dirigido por Jean Baptiste Mondino. En Estados Unidos se estrenó el 23 de junio de 2003 en VH1 (junto con el detrás de escenas mostrando como se hizo el video), mientras que el 24 de junio se estrenó en yahoo.com y el 27 de junio en MTV.


    Existen dos videos remix oficiales de "Hollywood" que también fueron publicados: el "Aviddiva Remix" creado por Dustin Robertson es el más popular de los dos remixes y contiene imágenes inéditas del rodaje del video. El segundo video remix se titula "Paul Oakenfold Edit" que fue publicado por Warner Bros. Records solo como promocional y consiste principalmente en imágenes del video original.


    Créditos del video


    * Director: Jean-Baptiste Mondino
    * Productor: Lynn Zekanis
    * Productores ejecutivos: David Naylor, Sam Aslanian, Missy Galanida
    * Director de Fotografía: Pascal Lebegue
    * Editor: Dustin Robertson
    * Compañía Productora: DNA Inc.

Musical Monday . . . Gambler



    So, this week's Musical Monday is an oldie but goodie that goes out to my hubby . . . Gambler by Madonna.


    This past weekend, he competed and took 1st place in his first individual pool tournament! He walked in expecting to get knocked out in the first round, but kept winning . . . and quite possibly annoying all the other higher ranked players.


    newman hustler.jpg


    They never saw him coming! Hehe! My hubby, the pool shark!







    Gambler, gambler


    Chorus:


    I'm a gambler, and I will take you by surprise
    Gambler, I'll aim this straight between your eyes
    Gambler, yeah I know all the words to say
    'Cause I'm a gambler, I only play the game my way, yeah


    Don't want to say this but I think that I should
    I'm better off forgotten if you think that I'd be good
    One day you see me the next day I'm gone
    Don't fight me baby I don't want to hold on
    I'm a gambler, a gambler


    You're not happy with the way I act
    You better turn around boy, don't look back
    You're getting angry, you know I can see
    You're just jealous 'cause you can't be me


    (chorus)


    Intermediate:


    You can't stop me now
    'Cause I'm right and I'm making advances
    Let me show you how
    Tonight, I'll be taking my chances
    On you, on you, on you, on you, that's right baby


    I'm a gambler, gambler
    You understand what I'm talking about?


    (chorus)
    (intermediate)


    I'm a gambler, a gambler
    Gambler, 'cause I'm a gambler


    You can't stop me now
    I'm on the road baby I know how
    You can't stop me now
    Oh no


    You can't stop me now (repeat 3 times)


    'Cause I'm a gambler, yeah I'm a gambler
    That's right baby

Madonna, 1993







    An elusive Madonna track from her 1993 Erotica album. Released only in the UK as a single, the video sees her portraying an amalgam of futuristic enchantress (retro vision ala early 90's) and seductive Thai dancer, complete with brass claws.

25 Desember...





    Hari ini adalah hari tersebut: 25 Desember, hari ke 359 dalam hitungan kalender Gregorian--dimana tersisa 6 hari lagi hingga lengkap, suatu kurun waktu disebut satu tahun.

    Melacak tanggal ini dengan menggunakan keahlian Pak Wiki(pedia), saya menemui beberapa data tentang waktu: events, kelahiran, kematian, juga hari-hari libur di seluruh dunia pada tanggal 25 desember.

    Tentu saja untuk hari libur, tertulis besar-besar dan yang pertama: kalau hari ini adalah hari libur natal. Umat Kristiani nggak mungkin masih pada sudi kerja kalau mereka mau merayakan hari kelahiran JC--bapak yang mulia-- bersama keluarga tercinta. Meskipun... sebenarnya sudah rahasia umum kalau pak JC ini nggak lahir di tanggal 25 Desember.. Tapi karena sebuah alasan, seluruh umat nasrani tetap merayakan kelahiran yesus pada tanggal tersebut. (Hhhmm... okelah... ini memang masih pro dankontra, tapi sok... monggo)

    Hari libur yang tertulis kedua di data wikipedia adalah: di Pakistan pada hari ini (tanggal 25 desember) ternyata juga adalah hari libur peringatan Quaid-e-Azam's Day atau hari libur memperingati kelahiran bapak bangsa pakistani yakni Muhammad Ali Jinnah yang lahir pada Desember 25, 1876 dan meninggal pada September 11, 1948. Tentu saja pada tanggal 25 Desember ini juga masih ada tertulis beberapa hari libur lagi seperti libur peringatan Hari Konstitusi - Republik Cina yang sekarang berbasis di Taiwan, hari peringatan Santa Anastasia dari Sirmium, dan Malkh-Festival. Festival peringatan dewa matahari pra-islam yang biasa dilperingati oleh kaum pagan bangsa NAKH yang ada di Checnya dan Ingushetia--kaukasia timur.

    Namun yang bikin saya kaget, pada hari ini juga ada kematian. Dan Charlie Chaplin si aktor bisu legendaris, Emanuel Levinas sang filsup perancis, serta Hiroaki Hidaka pembunuh serial di jepang tahun 1960-an, adalah juga beberapa di antara list orang yang mati pada tanggal 25 desember tersebut (tentu saja dengan tahun yang berbeda-beda).

    Dan saya sendiri?

    Tahun lalu pada hari ini saya ke gereja bersama teman cuma untuk menjadi groupie natal saja. Melihat bagaimana orang-orang yang tidak seagama dengan saya memperingati hari besar kelahiran orang suci dalam agamanya.

    Tentu saja ada pengalaman yang selalu seru-seru bagaimaaaaanaaaa gitu.. seru yang terasa mendebarkan kalau pas ikut-ikutan ngerayain natal kayak gitu.

    Ngeri dimintain KTP dan dilihat apa identitas agamanya yang tertulis di sana. Takut dibilang mau bikin kekacauan atau yang paling parah dikirain mau ngebom booooo... Karena jelas di KTP tertulis kalau agama saya islam, tapi trus emangnya kenapa kalau saya ikutan merayakan hari natal? Toh ini justru harusnya dalah bentuk dari mengahrgai keberagaman, bukan? Toh saya juga kalau imlek suka datang ke Kuil Dharma Sakti (Yayasan Dharma Bhakti atau orang Cina menyebutnya Klenteng Jin De Yuan atau Kim Tek Ie) di daerah Petak Sembilan. Toh saya juga kadang ikut teman yang hindu, ibadah di kuil di rawamangun sana... so whatt??!


    Tapi 25 Desember kali ini...
    Seharian saya di rumah saja.

    Melototin buku-buku yang terhampar di ruang tengah dan bertebaran dengan debu yang melapisi tiap covernya. Bersin-bersin? Tentu saja... Saya kan emang alergi debu... Tapi yang jelas, meski nggak ke gereja kayak biasa... pada suatu kejap, buku-buku yang terhampar itu menyadarkan saya akan sesuatu...

    Saya melihat buku-buku yang belum tuntas saya baca, banyak sekali. Ini cuma beberapa saja di antaranya: Serat Centini, Dunia Sophie, Teori Karl Max yang ditulis Romo Magnis, buku teori sosial Globalisasi Kehampaan, Sejarah Mitologi China… bahkan buku tentang biografi filsuf Hannah Arendt, sama sekali belum sempat saya buka plastik pembungkusnya.Dan demi melihat buku-buku itu tiba-tiba saya jadi nelangsa.

    Begitukah yang akan terjadi pada saya? I
    tukah sikap yang biasa saya lakukan?
    Nggak tuntas dan ‘tak kelar’?

    Saya nggak mau seperi itu…

    Maunya siyh... satu buku saya habiskan langsung dengan cepat dan bahagia tanpa diselingi buku lain yang membuat saya jadi nggak kelar-kelar membaca tiap buku yang saya baca. Tapi bagaimana... ? di beberapa bagian kadang buku-buku itu bikin bosan dan itu membikin saya terdistrak dengan buku baru yang lain yang harus saya lihat entah berdasar kepentingan dan kebutuhan, entah berdasar interest dan mood yang sedang berlaku dan menimpa saya. tak tahulah*!

    Trus malam ini ketika saya menulis note ini... saya sadar siyh... banyak banget hal dalam hidup saya yang kerap nggak tuntas dan 'nggak kelar'. Dari urusan: makan, baca buku, memulai dan mengakhiri hubungan, bahkan sampai pada menyapu atau menyetrika yang kerap saya tinggalkan bila perhatian saya ter-distrak dengan hal-hal lainnya.

    Hhhmm...
    Benarkah saya tak fokus?
    Sungguhkah saya mengalami gangguan pemusatan perhatian?


    Ini tanggal 25 Desember... Hari ke 359 dalam hitungan kalender Gregorian--dimana tersisa 6 hari lagi hingga lengkap, suatu kurun waktu disebut satu tahun....

    Bisakah saya di tahun depan untuk melakukan hal-hal ini dengan benar?

    Tidak membengkalaikan kerja-kerja sampai mereka selesai tanpa ditunda; Sampai semuanya tandas dan tuntas tanpa meninggalkan hutang; Semuanya terlengkapi dan terselesaikan.. (?)

    AMIN
    SEMOGA


    Haleluyah!
    selamat Natal semuanya...*

Christmas in My Heart



    Yaay, vine Craciunul! It pretty much sucks. Nu stiu de ce il astept in fiecare an, de fiecare data parca cele mai mari dezamagiri le am in aceasta perioada. Dar oricum, nu vreau sa vorbesc despre asta, ci despre cantecele de Craciun - nu colinde sau cantece traditionale. Ideea de a lansa un cantec de Craciun este probabil una din cele mai bune metode de a stoarce bani de la ascultatori. Nici nu e asa greu … aduna cuvintele "(Mos) Craciun", "singur(atate)", "acasa", "cadou(ri)" si inca vreo doua, depinde de tema, fa-le sa rimeze si te-ai scos. Ca fundal muzical e de ajuns sa folosesti niste clopotei si o vioara sau ceva, si uite-ti hitul! Sigur, activeaza doar vreo doua luni in clasamente, dar sunt o multime de parti bune:


    1.Se va reintoarce in top anul urmator. "All I Want for Christmas is You" de Mooriah Carey a fost lansat in 1994 si a fost un hit de top 5 peste tot in lume. Odata cu introducerea descarcarilor digitale in determinarea popularitatii cantecelor prin 2007, piesa s-a intors in clasamente precum cel britanic, irlandez, german si chiar japonez in fiecare an, inclusiv anul acesta.


    2.Primeste airplay. Chiar daca doar cam o luna pe an, este de ajuns incat sa atraga atentia. "Last Christmas" de Wham! este difuzata anual in aceasta perioada si adesea se claseaza in topul difuzarilor radio din Germania.


    3.Pop culture. Filmele de Craciun contin, normal, cantece de Craciun. Desi majoritatea sunt colinde, uneori sunt folosite hituri pop, ca "Sleigh Ride" de The Ronettes in filmul "The Holiday".


    Si lista poate continua. Sigur, nu te imbogatesti cu un cantec de genul acesta, dar iti poate acoperi o gaura din buzunar. Mai jos va propun o lista cu unele din cele mai cunoscute cantece de Craciun. Ironic, unele dintre ele nu au avut initial nicio legatura cu aceasta sarbatoare (ca "Let It Snow") dar in prezent sunt considerate melodii fara de care nu s-ar putea sarbatori Craciunul. Nu am ales la toate varianta originala, ci doar varianta care-mi place mie mai mult :-D . Care ar fi topul vostru? Remember, doar cantece de Craciun, nu colinde :P Iata topul meu, pe larg, pentru inspiratie:



    1. Eartha Kitt (1953), Madonna (1987), Kylie Minogue (2000) - Santa Baby

    2. John Lennon (1971/1972) - Happy Xmas (War is Over)

    3. Abba (1980) - Happy New Year

    4. Lady GaGa (2008) - Christmas Tree

    5. Mariah Carey (1994) - All I Want for Christmas is You

    6. Boney M (1979) - Hooray! Hooray! It's a Holi-Holiday!

    7. Bing Crosby (1942) - White Christmas

    8. Dean Martin (1959) - Let It Snow

    9. Gabriella Cilmi (2008) - Warm this Winter

    10. The Ronettes (1963) - Sleigh Ride

    11. Sugababes (2000) - New Year

    12. Band Aid (1984) - Do They Know It's Christmas Time

    13. Celine Dion (2000) - Don't Save it All for Christmas Day

    14. Sarah Brightman (2008) - I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday

    15. Andre (1999) - Noapte de vis

    16. Sarah Connor (2005) - Christmas in My Heart

    17. Destiny's Child (2001) - 8 Days of Christmas

    18. Nicola (2003) - Iarna (Milioane)

    19. Wham! (1984) - Last Christmas

    20. 'N Sync (1998) - Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays

MADONNA: JUMP




    Jump (en español; saltar, salto) es una canción escrita por la cantante Madonna, Stuart Price y Joe Henry y producida por Price y Madonna para el decimo álbum de estudio de la cantante Confessions on a Dance Floor (2005) fue lanzado durante el mes de noviembre de 2006 como el cuarto sencillo del álbum ya mencionado, teniendo un éxito moderado en algunos países Europeos.


    El video musical fue dirigido por Jonas Akerlund (quien ya ha trabajado en varias ocasiones con Madonna) y rodado en Tokio, Japón. Protagonizado por traceurs como Sébastien Foucan, co-fundador del Parkour, el video muestra un despliegue de saltos y movimientos típicos de esta disciplina deportiva. Foucan también aparece en el video musical de "Hung Up". Madonna sólo es vista bailando en un estudio cerrado, con una peluca corta y en un estilo diferente a sus anteriores videos de Confessions on a Dance Floor.


    La vestimenta de Madonna en el video guarda cierto parecido con la del personaje Mello de la serie Death Note de Tsugumi Ohba y Takeshi Obata, de quien Madonna admitió era su personaje favorito de esa serie.


    El video se coronó con el premio de Mejor Video Musical Dance en los premios Internacional Dance Music Awards en 2007.


    Director: Jonas Akerlund
    Productor: Kate Taylor
    Director de fotografía: Eric Broms
    Editor: Jonas Akerlund

In Praise of Madonna.




    Madonna, looking like a teenager despite being approximately 500 years old in this photo.



    I'm working on a presentation about the importance of Madonna in American music. I'd have to say she's pretty important-the woman's the highest-selling solo female artist in history, her albums and singles read like a list of the most influential works in modern music history, and countless artists list her as one of their inspirations.


    She's timeless, yet she continually innovates her style and music. She's always cutting-edge, and her music feels both fresh and classic.


    "Like A Virgin" is easily the most influential album in the history of pop music. It singlehandedly refocused the pop music industry from bands to soloists, emphasized the importance of women in music, opened the door for R&B and Hip Hop to break mainstream, and allowed artists more autonomy in their music.


    Let's all just take a moment to celebrate the fact that Madonna is the greatest musician alive today, not measuring by talent but by influence. She's an icon, a force in the music industry, and will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the "legends" of music alongside the likes of Elvis and The Beatles.




    In Praise of Madonna.

Madonna dropped by LV, attends "A Single Man" premiere



    In a recession like this, Madonna is surely too expensive for once luxurious brand, now mainstream outlet Louis Vuitton. LV did not renew their contract with the iconoclast, but opted for a cheaper, younger and less photoshopped model named Lara Stone. This move is being cited as a Madonna snub but Marc Jacobs probably just wants to keep it fresh. In other new, Madonna supported friend and fashion designer Tom Ford at the recent premiere of his movie A Single Man (above).

Madonna in Dolce & Gabbana's Spring/Summer 2010 Campaign



    Madonna may have been replaced as the face of Louis Vuitton by model-of-the-moment Lara Stone but she has still managed to find some modelling work when she was chosen to star in Dolce & Gabbana's Spring/Summer 2010 campaign.


    Vanity Fair Italy was the first publication to run the campaign photos which were shot by photographer Steven Klein.



    I really love that Dolce & Gabbana went for the softer side of Madge in balck and white instead of playing up the tough Madonna that we saw in the Louis Vuitton ads.
