Emotional Performances

Don't you just love it when you hear a song and it moves your heart? That moment when you can sense the singer is pouring their soul, you can hear it in their voice. More often that not, you can tell whether a singer sing sincerely or merely sing because they have to.  When a singer sing so emotionally, it gives you chills.  Some emotional performances that I can recall: Glenn Fredley - Sedih tak Berujung, Malaikat juga Tahu. I love Glenn Fredly, man. He's very soulful in his singing. He makes you believe he's in sorrow. Sweet Sorrow - You're Lying The repetition of acusing one's lover of lying over and over again in harmony. Trembles me. Sandy Simorangkir - Cinta Putih "Khianaaaaaaaaatiiiiiiiiii Sebisa dirimu mengkhianaaaaaatiiiii" Need I say more? That performance was so believable. Ironically, didn't he got cought chating on his fiancee? Before he went to jail. Ironic or not, his rendition on Cinta Putih leaves a strong remark. Desi Natalia - I Have

Over Sharing?

Just this morning I tweeted something about sharing on social media.  People should contemplate, what should they and shouldn't they share? What is ok? What is off limits?  How far should one let their personal thoughts out there? Where did sharing stop and bragging starts? As far as I remember, I haven't post half about my life in this blog. Not the deepest, most personal moments. Not all of my accomplishments either. To my relief, even during misguided teenage years, somehow I haven't written it all. It's ok to share, it's ok to brag.

Life after wedding is blissful. Got pregnant immediately after honeymoon, praise the Lord. Now my baby is 3months old and she is the most beautiful and smartest baby there is. I, like most new moms - probably, was flabbergasted for the first few weeks. Never thought breasfeeding as a challenging task! One that requires displine and patience. But it is all worth it. Baby Daenerys is healthy and happy, we are very grateful.  Daenerys Marlene Todingan. Daenerys, taken from my favorite ASOIAF character. Marlene, combination of out mothers' name - Martha and Caroline Todingan - her father's last name. Anyway, I have download blog app so HOPEFULLY I can stay commited and write more frequently this time.  Maybe I'll talk about Daenerys. Maybe I'll talk about my observation of life in general. This blog has always been some sort of diary anyway.  Love, D. C. S.
