even the 'dolls' are harworker too

k-pop totally stole my attention
it's like i'm still amazed by their all-packaged concept, good looking with the not bad until fantastic singing skill, great dancing and stage act, acting, being an MC, comedian, and so forth.

then i suddenly got slapped in the face when i read an article, coming from  a famous american band front man, Mr X. he said music should be coming from inside you, playing the guitar, drum, bass in the garage and blending it with the vocal, not from a music competition, so people are designing you.

hmm
k-pop is even worse
i read a lot of articles, watching a lot of their reality shows, browsing a lot of investigation videos about what is actually behind this k-pop invasion

mainly, they just get the song from the composer, copying the dance from their choreographer, shows good faces and body complexion (tons of them got plastic surgery as we all know) so people will see them as a whole package, just like me
i even reached the stage when i personally thought that they're all just fake entertainer, act like a doll that is played by their big agencies

but then,
i actually forgot. they're all the hardworker people.

don't you ever think to place yourself as them?

actually i wrote this because i saw a video. i use youtube to find an answer about a girl named Goo Hara, a member of girl group called KARA. she was bashed like crazy just because she was the first idol who revealed her plastic surgery in 2010. it was like opening the biggest public secret. yeah, you're not reading it wrongly. she admitted her undergo-knife procedure that was a taboo topic to be told. in that period. and the latest issue was about her emotional explosion in a program.

people are judging her as a plastic idol. and an immature idol.
so, please, can you take a look at tons of other idol groups before judging her so hard?

personally i don't defend her, like agreeing about plastic surgery is a  right thing to do. but still, look at her deeply.
Goo Hara was coming from a broken family, she had been living in poverty until she reached her dreams with KARA. she worked so hard to reach her dream as an entertainer. you can check immediately in youtube about her predebut auditions. so it's basically understandable if she has some sensitive topics about her life.

I respect her and her decision about her plastic surgery eventhough i disagree with that. again, another personally opinion, she was originally beautiful even before her plastic surgery.

we may disagree about their (Goo Hara and hundreds of idol group out there) decision about some sensitive topics like plastic surgery, but still we may not forget that their sweat and tears are the main building blocks of their talents. they're not just simply performing without undergoing some hard training periods.
I think what the front man X said is partially true but not all of them are true.

my main goal here is to make people awakened about what is dreaming means and learn from them that they're working so hard to reach their dreams while creating another dream to be reached. human cannot survive without hope, right?

PS : this video is about Goo Hara. I got teary-eyed after watching this, i never thought that some of the idols are having a hard life like her

Google Translate is a blessed

It was a cloudy Friday. I went down to the canteen, having lunch like usual, being alone when people were going to Bandung. I ate pecel, my favorite food that always can bring me home once i feel the bumbu kacang melt in my tounge.

It was a common Friday.

Suddenly Mr Bagus, the electricity man here, came with a native Japanese that worked for earthquake-models-of-house project near my dorm. He talked to the Japanese man but i think Mr xxxxx didn’t really understand english, so Mr Bagus was going back forth hardly explaining something. Mr Bagus asked me and Kak Ayu also Kak Ega –the owner of the canteen—to help him talking with the Japanese man. Mr Bagus said the Japanese man was sick, he had stomachace but Mr Bagus couldn’t help him because his english was really limited.

The Japanese man said with his english-japanese languange he had medicine in his room. We wanted to ask him what medicine did he use. Kak Ega even had an idea to give him an Indonesian medicine. Then finally an idea popped-up in my head : ‘Kak Ayu please turn on your laptop, we can communicate with him through Google Translate i think’

The stroy started here.

We typed some sentences then he answered them with nodding or said no, yes, and just some simple confirmation or denial like that. We offered him a bowl of porridge but he refused. He said he just wanted to drink pocari sweat because he often went to the bathroom which means he had diarrhea. He hadn’t have food today, he just ate a can of fruit coctail this morning and his sickness was getting worst. He typed in google translate that he actually brought a lot of ramen and curry but his electricity stuff for heating water was broken so he couldn’t eat. He even asked about moving to a new room.

Mr Bagus said it was not the room’s electricity nor his water heater that broken. Japanese electicity would work in 110v but here in Indonesia we used 220v, that’s why his water heater did not work. Mr Bagus promised would buy him a new water heater that made in Indonesia so he could boil water in his room. We still forced him to eat because he looked so pale. Finally he ate a small bowl of porridge and a cup of hot tea without any hesitation when he touched the bowl and the cup. I had just realize that Japanese people loved hot food, he didn’t know that he could order hot menu too because he could not communicate with others here.

He told us that it was his first time coming to Indonesia. Ah, that’s why he knew nothing about Bahasa, totally different with his 2 friends that could speak Bahasa a bit like using some simple words, ‘tolong’ , ‘pesan’, etc. He was a kind person and also a shy one. He looked young compared to his 2 friends that looked more senior than him.

He thanked us a lot by keep bowing and nodding his head and said terima kasih. He typed he felt better because the food was warm. Kak Ayu replied that if he wanted to eat, he could come here and ordered another porridge and tea. After the conversation ended, he typed he would go back to his job then he walked to the construction place again.

Today i learned something

We’re all human, no matter where we are, where we came, who we are, what colors we are, black white mongoloid or maybe have a combination of chinese and pakistan  like me hahahah. Language is separating us from communicating, but it doesn’t affect on our core destiny that human will always can communicate each other even just  with body language or the help of technology like google translate.

I feel happy because  it’s my first time interacting with people who don’t speak english. So much fun kkkk i wonder how it feels if i join a summer school or a homestay in Japan or Korea ^^
