Demi Lovato "UNBROKEN"

DEMILOVATO

I'm so proud of what she has become, of what she is today. I'm so happy to see that she is more healthier and much more happier now.
With single called 'Skyscraper' she re-build her career, and it works so great.
'Skyscraper' is really an amazing song, and she already did 'skyscraper' performance, and done it beautifully. She's such a gorgeous girl.

And I'm so glad she is still standing strong. I'm so glad that Demi told her story to all of us so she can help every single person to find hope and to never give up. I'm so glad she's back to music industry and let people know what she's capable of, she has talent, is a supernormal singer. I'm so glad all people around the world (lovatics) still love Demi the way they used to before everything that happened. Oh and also for all haters out there, you can try to bring her down, but Demi will be rising from the ground like a skyscraper. Haters gonna hate, anyway.

Demi Lovato is one of the best examples of person with a successful comeback, September 20th is the day when her brand new album "UNBROKEN" release, and she also has 2 concerts in LA (September 23) and NYC (September 17) which is called "An Evening With Demi Lovato".

"Happy birthday, mother . . ."

Selamat ulang tahun, Mah.
Waktu itu benar-benar cepat, ini ucapanku yang ke-sekian untuk mendo'akan Mamah yang terbaik.
Semoga mamah diberikan umur yang panjang oleh Allah SWT untuk menyaksikanku wisuda, mengantarkanku menuju pernikahan, dan menjadi tempatku menimba ilmu membangun keluargaku sendiri nanti. Dan sampai aku tua nanti, Mamah masih tetap ada disampingku, adikku, dan suamimu.

Semoga Mamah selalu diberikan kesehatan lahir dan bathin. Karena kesehatanmu, adalah kesehatanku juga.

Semoga Allah melimpahkan rezeki yang tak henti-hentinya padamu. Selama ini Mamah selalu bekerja keras untuk menghidupi keluargamu, semoga uang yang kau keluarkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhanku, Allah lipat gandakan dengan rezeki yang lebih besar.

Semoga Allah TETAP menjadikanmu hamba-Nya yang tak kenal lelah, hamba-Nya yang selalu tegar dalam menghadapi cobaan, dan hamba-Nya yang selalu berbagi. Mamah adalah sumber inspirasiku, untuk selalu kuat.
Selamat ulang tahun, Mah.
Maaf aku pernah membuatmu sedih dan khawatir.
Aku, Fadhil, dan Bapa, selalu mendo'akanmu yang terbaik.
We love you . . .

REVIEW: Demi Lovato “Skyscraper”

Taken from : http://demilovatodaily.com/

With an incredible voice and two great albums under her belt, Demi Lovato reportedly headed into studio right after exiting a treatment centre, a smart move on her end. She had months of experiences to write and sing about. How well would they translate to song, though? Well, based on “Skyscraper,” the first offering from her upcoming third album, they translated fantastically. Co-written by Estonian “bubblegoth” singer, Kerli, and producer, Toby Gad (Selena Gomez “A Year Without Rain”, Fergie “Big Girls Don’t Cry”), “Skyscraper” seems like it was tailor made for Demi. With heartbreaking, yet optimistic lyrics placed over minimal yet emotionally effective production, the song seemed like the perfect opportunity for Lovato to emote, and emote, she certainly does.

"Skies are crying, I am watching,” she whispers in the first verse. “Catching teardrops in my hands.” Strangely befitting, she sounds vulnerable, almost broken, over a bare, piano-only backdrop. As the second verse resounds (“As the smoke clears, I awaken,”) she’s already regained most of her confidence and composure as the beat picks up, yet there’s still a hint of fragility in her voice, which diminishes as the song goes on. Until we reach the finale, that is; the final chorus.

The chorus in “Skyscraper” is arguably the best thing about the song. The creme de la creme, if you will. Heartbreaking yet optimistic, catchy yet powerful in substance, it stays with you for all the right reasons.

"You can take everything I have, you can break everything I am, like I’m made of glass, like I’m made of paper,” she dares us. “Go on and try to bring me down, I will be rising from the ground,” she then proclaims. “Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper.”

The final rendition, however, is all the more mesmerizing. Openly weeping by the end of the song, it gives Lovato the edge to transform from Disney princess into fully-fledged, true musician. “Skyscraper” is a triumph for Demi Lovato in every sense; a triumphant return to the music industry, a triumphant return to prominence, and, above all, a triumphant emergence from the ashes.

"We DO have a choice . . "

Malam kemarin saya lagi-lagi nonton film Spiderman 3. Peter Parker bilang, "We always DO have a choice in life."
Dan apa yang diucapkan-nya benar. Ketika kita terpaksa memilih sesuatu dengan alasan, "Aku ga punya pilihan lagi." coba pikirkan, pada saat kita memilih 'sesuatu' itu, apakah itu bukan pilihan yang kita ambil?
Sebenarnya jika memang benar-benar tidak ada pilihan, bukankah YES atau NO itu selalu ada? Bukankah MAJU atau MUNDUR itu selalu tersedia kapan pun kita ingin mengambil salah satunya?

Itu yang saya pelajari dari kata-kata Peter Parker.
Pernah saat itu saya mengambil pilihan yang saya kira "Tidak ada lagi pilihan selain itu." dan saya berakhir dengan menyesali pilihan yang saya ambil, dan saya mulai menyalahkan diri saya sendiri karena telah memilih keputusan itu, lagi-lagi dengan alasan "Tidak ada lagi pilihan . . "
Tapi jika ditelaah lagi, kita benar-benar selalu punya pilihan. Saat itu saya punya 2 pilihan, mengambil keputusan itu, atau tidak sama sekali.

Biasanya orang-orang beralasan, "Tidak ada lagi pilihan . . ." karena mereka terlalu takut untuk berhenti begitu saja, atau takut untuk mengambil keputusan lain yang dapat berdampak buruk. Padahal, bagaimana pun, seberapa pun, seburuk apa pun pilihan yang kita ambil, ya itulah keputusan kita, itulah pilihan kita, dari situ kita bisa belajar untuk bertanggung jawab pada diri sendiri.

Sekali pun kita akhirnya menyesal karena telah mengambil pilihan itu, setidaknya kita bisa STAND UP FOR OURSELVES. Jika dampaknya baik, itu suatu kebahagiaan tersendiri, dan jika berdampak buruk, It's time for move on and keep trying our best, guys.
Maka nya ada phrase, "Hidup itu pilihan, take it, or leave . . ."

"HAVING A COKE WITH YOU" by Frank O'Hara

HAVING A COKE WITH YOU

. . . is even more fun than going to San Sebastian, Irún, Hendaye, Biarritz, Bayonne
or being sick to my stomach on the Travesera de Gracia in Barcelona
partly because in your orange shirt you look like a better happier St. Sebastian
partly because of my love for you, partly because of your love for yoghurt
partly because of the fluorescent orange tulips around the birches
partly because of the secrecy our smiles take on before people and statuary
it is hard to believe when I'm with you that there can be anything as still
as solemn as unpleasantly definitive as statuary when right in front of it

in the warm New York 4 o'clock light we are drifting back and forth
between each other like a tree breathing through its spectacles

and the portrait show seems to have no faces in it at all, just paint
you suddenly wonder why in the world anyone ever did them

I look at you and I would rather look at you than all the portraits in the world
except possibly for the Polish Rider occasionally and anyway it's in the Frick
which thank heavens you haven't gone to yet so we can go together the first time
and the fact that you move so beautifully more or less takes care of Futurism
just as at home I never think of the Nude Descending a Staircase or
at a rehearsal a single drawing of Leonardo or Michelangelo that used to wow me

and what good does all the research of the Impressionists do them
when they never got the right person to stand near the tree when the sun sank
or for that matter Marino Marini when he didn't pick the rider as carefully
as the horse

it seems they were all cheated of some marvelous experience
which is not going to go wasted on me which is why I am telling you about it

—Frank O'Hara
