a tribute to dzeek

A blessing may come in the most unexpected ways. I’ve said this before and now I said it again. I don’t care, but I do feel blessed. :)

As my previous post, I was invited to one of my good friend’s band performance: dzeek at alun-alun Grand Indonesia. So there I went with my husband and one of my best friends.

Anyway, I did have a little sneak preview of the band on youtube. Well the music is making friends with my ears quite easily and it took me just a while to decide that I’m a proud fan of dzeek ;). But still, watching live performance is another thing for me. So yeah, I was really enjoying the show. Imam greeted us between the songs. Some of his words that I captured was “this album is dedicated to both of you, the whole billion copies of it”. I was like “Yaaay Imam… Yaaay dzeek…” I didn’t even understand what the billion copies stand for. I’m pretty happy already, knowing that he personally invited us to the launching and that he will give us the album himself as a wedding gift for us.

So after the performance was over, he brought the CD and opened the cover for us. He took us to the page where his name is printed on it and pointed his finger to the words below it. There goes my name and my husband’s name, printed well between his wedding wishes for us.

All I could say was “WOOOOW”… “THANK YOOOOU”…. WOOOOW”… “THANK YOOOOU”… over and over again. I was really out of words, I didn’t even know what to say to him. This was really beyond my expectation. I feel really blessed. Thank you God for sending me good and loving friends into my life. I hope I can make them smile in the future, just the way they made a smile on my face today. I am truly blessed.

Thank you Imam. Thank you dzeek.

May you live happily ever after too ;) .

by the way,

i really like the last song that I suspect, titled as ‘final call’. But I just can’t help but wonder, why they put a pretty long pause from the previous song? I’ve almost thought that the song is not even there.

Hehe, just curious though ;)

the sweetest gift ever

I love gifts.

But sometimes, when you got the most unexpected gifts from the most surprising friend, you will have to leave your jaws opened for a moment. This afternoon, I received a message from a good old friend of mine. He said that he’s going to launch his band’s second album: dzeek, at alun-alun – Grand Indonesia, this June 21th.

For reasons I have failed to understand, he’s inviting me and my husband to the launching because he wants to give us the album himself, as a wedding gift for us. I’m so happy and honored; I have almost shed a tear while reading it. I mean, my wedding is like months ago, I didn’t even expect any presents anymore. And because we do like their music and we know that this launching is important to him, this will become the sweetest gift we’ve ever received.

Thank you dearest Imam,

This gift will be remembered forever :)

the long lost life

I’m a copywriter. But yet I’ve never really succeeded in expressing my own feelings into words. It is a shameful fact, I know. But I did try to fight… and I’m still trying…

These, on the other hand, are a few expressions that I eventually managed to write down. I don’t say that these are good writings. But they are giving me vivid memories of a few crossroads I’ve been facing back then. And of course, that crossroads lead me here.

Later I found out that these writing were about to be vanished from its blog. I must do something.

So here we are :)

I’m still having the same old problem, though. But I hope I can manage some time to let myself free for once in a while.

This should be a good sign to start over again.

Wish me luck!
