Princess, Sabrina, and Davey Langit: Acoustic Rules!

I always listen to music when working in my lab desk. One thing because I want to concentrate much on what I am reading, writing, thinking; the other thing is that I like to do that: listen to music.

My January 2011 playlist is full of acoustic songs, mainly cover versions of famous song. There are Princess, Sabrina, and Davey Langit (and Pomplamoose too ^__^). Those three are Filipino, yes The Philippines is famous for having gold voice singers, including Nikki Gil and Charice Pempengco the YouTube star (I love both of them, and I think Charice is a bomb, really she is). Princess, Sabrina, and Davey Langit might be not as popular as the latter two, but many people have been addicted to their cover songs.

It is a matter of preference of course, but I found acoustic music calms me down. I am not a typical ‘calm person’, and sometimes I react harshly (even when I am sitting in my desk and listening to rock songs). So that’s the benefit, and they are also beautiful. Just like when I said I like Pomplamoose because they sound cool and fresh. Listening to cover songs is just the same. Bringing new sensation to my ears. And since they are all acoustic songs, surely the music in some extent differ from the original ones.

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part I: Surprisingly Good

Out of date? Nah, you know me. Just enjoy.

I love Harry Potter. I have all the book series. I participated in a (very disappointing) Harry Potter rally back in Indonesia (for the launching of Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Indonesian version). I have a replica of Harry Potter’s wand. Oh okay, that’s enough. I am so babbling around (pardon me).

I went back to Indonesia on November, and managed to watch the movie while I was in Jakarta. It was a Monday, and I went to Plaza Indonesia XXI, and the movie theater was great. Big screen and the room for roughly 200 people was just filled by 15 people.

I have to say, the movie is surprisingly good. I am not a big fan of Harry Potter movies because the books are much more better, and I just assumed this one was also not taking my breath away. But yes, assumption is just assumption.
