Don't Cry for Me Argentina

Good evening my fellow reader, today i'd like to post something about song again. Yes, I like to post about music sometime. By the way, I post this music because when I listen this music and findng about the background or the meaning of the music, it is the interesting thing for me. It is a good way to get more knowledge and kill the bored itself. About the music, the name of the song is "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" sung by Madonna. The song itself, well it is a little bit old song. It is recorded on 1976. I give you the background of this song, so you can understand what the meaning of this music due it is have a historical and maybe romantic things to know.

Background :

"Don't Cry for Me Argentina" is a song composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber with lyrics by Tim Rice. It was first recorded by Julie Covington on the 1976 concept album Evita, and was later included in the 1978 stage musical of the same name. Sung by the title character Eva Perón, it appears early in the second act as Evita addresses the crowd from the balcony of the Casa Rosada in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and features a sweeping melody tied to broad emotional themes of regret and defiance, characteristic of Lloyd Webber's most popular songs. The song shares its melody with "Oh What a Circus" and "Eva's Final Broadcast" from the same show. Rice and Lloyd Webber received the 1977 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.The song has since been recorded by many other performers.The title of the song comes from an epitaph on a plaque at Evita Peron's grave in the La Recoleta Cemetery in Buenos Aires. The plaque was presented by the city's taxi drivers' union and roughly translates as: "Don't cry for me Argentina, I remain quite near to you.

Evita itself is a musical with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Tim Rice. It concentrates on the life of Argentine political leader, Eva Perón, the second wife of Argentine president, Juan Perón. The story follows Evita's early life, rise to power, charity work, and eventual death. The musical began as a rock opera concept album released in 1976. Its success led to productions in London's West End in 1978, winning the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Musical, and on Broadway a year later, where it was the first British musical to receive the Tony Award for Best Musical. This has been followed by a string of professional tours and worldwide productions and numerous cast albums, as well as a major1996 film of the musical starring Madonna and Antonio Banderas. The musical was revived in London in 2006, and on Broadway in 2012. The show is being revived in the West End once again in 2014 at the Dominion Theatre.

And for the lyrics is :

Don't Cry for Me Argentina

By : Madonna

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all that I've done

You won't believe me
All you will see is a girl you once knew
Although she's dressed up to the nines
At sixes and sevens with you

I had to let it happen, I had to change
Couldn't stay all my life down at heel
Looking out of the window, staying out of the sun

So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But nothing impressed me at all
I never expected it to

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

And as for fortune, and as for fame
I never invited them in
Though it seemed to the world they were all I desired

They are illusions
They are not the solutions they promised to be
The answer was here all the time
I love you and hope you love me

Don't cry for me Argentina

Don't cry for me Argentina
The truth is I never left you
All through my wild days
My mad existence
I kept my promise
Don't keep your distance

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you.
But all you have to do is look at me to know
That every word is true

So, from the song above, we can see a historical thing and also a romantic thing for me I think. This song is sung with a little bit of British accent, so it looks more sophisticated. I hope you get more knowledge after know about this song. Okay, that's all about a simple post about a song named "Don't Cry for Me Argentina", I'm out and thank you.

3 Alphabet in 3 Languages

Goeden avond en hallo mijn vrienden? how was your day? Today's weather is a little bit not really friendly right? It's rain since evening. Well, I hope you don't feel bad or blue because of this rain. Today, let's learn about language. I'd like to give an information about 3 alphabet in 3 language, sound interesting right? Yes, let's see this alphabet from 3 different language. This three languages have a similiar words or meaning itself. The 3 languages are Indonesian language, English language and Dutch language. For me, this three languages are related each other. At this time, I know this three languages. As you can see, Indonesian is my mother language, English is my major at college, and Dutch is the language that I learn now too and I'll take a course for this language start on next year. Okay, let's discuss this three alpahabet using 3 language.

- Indonesian Alphabet :
 Indonesian alphabet is the easiest one for me due this language is my mother language. This alphabet are simple and the pronounce is same like the words itself. Acoording from wikipedia, Indonesian alphabet are include in 'Malay alphabet'. This alphabet are available on Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore. The Alphabet of Indonesian alphabet is :
    A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R T U V W X Y Z
A : a
B : be
C : ce
D: de
E: e
F: ef
G : ge
H : ha
I : i
J : je
K : ka
L : el
M : em
N : en
O : o
P : pe
Q : qi / kiu
R: er
S : es
T : te
U : u
V : ve
W: we
X : eks
Y : ye
Z : zed

- English Alphabet :
English alphabet is the second alphabet that you must know due English is the international language. This is also the basic thing that I must know as a student of English language and Culture department. This is the worldwide language at this time. This language and alphabet are available on United Kingdom, Uniteed States, Australia, and many British commonwealth country. The letter of alphabet itself is same like Indonesian alphabet :
    A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R T U V W X Y Z
A : ei
B : bi
C : si
D: di
E: i
F: ef
G : gee
H : aitch / haitch / hetch
I : i
J : jay
K : kay
L : el
M : em
N : en
O : o
P : pe
Q : cue
R: ar
S : ess
T : tee
U : u
V : vee
W: double-u
X : ex
Y : wy / wye
Z : zed

- Dutch Alphabet :
This is a little bit difficult alphabet for me due I'm still learn about Dutch language. This alphabet is same like English and Indonesian. Especially for Indonesian, this alphabet is very similiar due some of the Indonesian language are from Dutch language. Even it's have a similiar alphabet, but it is have a little bit different from that two languages above. The Dutch alphabet are available on The Netherlands, Belgium, and Suriname. The alphabet of Dutch is :
    A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R T U V W X Y Z
A : a
B : be
C : se
D: de
E: e
F: ef
G : khe / kh
H : ha
I : i
J : ye
K : ka
L : el
M : em
N : en
O : o
P : pe
Q : ky
R: er
S : es
T : te
U : u
V : ve
W: we
X : eks
Y : ei
Z : zed

So, as you can see above, that 3 languages are have a similiar and just have a little bit at the pronounce. In fact, these 3 languages are related each other. English - Dutch language are related because it is West-Germanic Languages. And for Indonesian-Dutch language are related because Indonesia is the Dutch colonial and over 350 years, Indonesian people at Dutch period using Dutch language itself. So, that's all about a simple thing about language in the 3 different language. Hope this simple article is useful for you and increase your knowledge about language. Dank U en tot ziens fellas!

Virgo Facts

Goeden Avond my fellow reader, it's happy to see you again. Well, today traffic is so bad due the flood come. Yes, I suffer the traffic jam when I'm on my way to campus, but Thank God that I can save to campus and also go back home safely. Okay, today I want to post a simple thing that related with myself, with my zodiac sign. My zodiac sign, as you can see from the title of the post is Virgo. Virgo, the virgin, is for the person who have a birthday on August 23rd - September 22nd. So, let's see what virgo characteristics and later on, maybe you will see and compare it to your friend's characteristics if your friend's zodiac is virgo same like me. And maybe later on, you can compare the things from this post to myself if you want hehehe, so check it out!

1. Virgo worries how they come across to other people, but not in the ways other people worry. Virgo wants to appear smart and well put together. They could not care less if you actually like them though. 

2. Virgo is known for being too blunt in their speech, always telling the truth even when others do not want to hear it. Though some can go the opposite way and become talented liars, as their ruling planet is Mercury. 

3. Virgo is unable to let the little things go the way other people do. It is often the tiniest details of what is wrong that will haunt them, instead of looking at the big picture.

4.  Virgo pride themselves on their ability to be honest even in situations where it is difficult for them to tell the truth. To a Virgo, if they cannot respect their own actions they do not understand how others will respect them.  

5. Virgo doesn't like to examine their feelings. They say everything is all right when it is not. Saying is all okay is a resistance method for not having to take a closer look at how they feel.

6. Virgos know exactly what they want, because theay are always thinking about it. They are thinkers. They want to get the right answer. Because of this, they can be highly critical and judgmental towards those who don't agree with them. They believe the know the right answer , because they've thought about it already.

7. Virgos are laid back but only their close friends will know how uptight they can be. They can be rather relaxed and close - off , but they also know how to be fun and exciting as well. They may not also always be talkative, but they don't really need to be. they the right amount of words to say presented in the best package possible.

8. Virgo is a good at lot of things and one of those things is hiding their true emotions. This makes it hard to read them at times. 

9. As a virgo, they need encouragement often, as they can be easily embarassed or feel as if they simply are not good enough. They tend to be easygoing but they can't stand it when people tease them or they try hard but not get results they hope for.

And after that, there are some Virgo influence. The influence are : 
- Seeks to be purpose
- Boundless energy
- Analytical problem solver
- Independence
- Over-complicates
- Fills voids
- Dedication
- Intensity
- Tireles thoughts & abilities
- Hyper-awareness
- Strives for perfection
- Tastefull
- Sensuality
- Deep-roted emotions
- Razor sharp with and intelligence

Okay, that's all about my zodiac sign, Virgo. Well, some of them for me personallity are true. I don't know about your view of Virgo. Is it true same like this post or a little bit different? The only thing that can answer it is from your point of view about your friend that have this zodiac sign. That's all for today with the topic of Virgo facts. Hope, this can be usefull for my fellow virgos friends and 'till we meet again.

Lets see the meaning of this song by from the lyrics or by the Collins perspective. The meaning of the song is simple. This one the meaning of this song : "Collins sings the song from a third-person perspective, observing as a man crosses the street to ignore a homeless woman, and he implores listeners not to turn a blind eye to homelessness because, by drawing a religious allusion, "it's just another day for you and me in paradise". Collins also appeals directly to God by singing: "Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do? Oh lord, there must be something you can say?" And also, the personnel of this song are :
- Phil Collins  – keyboards, vocals, drums

 Alright, that's all about the meaning or the personnel and now, I'll give you the lyrics of this song. Hopefully you can hear and sing this song later on.

Another Day in Paradise

By : Phil Collins

She calls out to the man on the street

"Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?"

He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

Think about it 

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
She can't walk but she's trying

Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

Just Think about it 

Oh lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
'Cos she didn't fit in there

Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

Oh think twice...

Okay, that's all about the song named "Another Day in Paradise" sung by Phil Collins. For me, this song is easy to listen and I love the rhythm and the lyrics is also quite good. That's all for today, for this simple post. Bye.

Red Rose

By : Robert Burns

O my Luve is like a red, red rose

   That’s newly sprung in June;

O my Luve is like the melody

   That’s sweetly played in tune.

So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,

   So deep in luve am I;

And I will luve thee still, my dear,

   Till a’ the seas gang dry.

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,

   And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;

I will love thee still, my dear,

   While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only luve!

   And fare thee weel awhile!

And I will come again, my luve,

   Though it were ten thousand mile.

Out Of The Blue

Hi, I'm back again. Before I write this one, i wanna ask you one question. Have you ever felt "Out of the blue"?. In Indonesian language, we can say that this word reffers to the word "galau". Well, every person especially teenagers sometimes feel this feeling right. For myself, yeah, sometimes this feeling is coming to me unexpectedly. This feeling sometimes is make the mood of someone is totally change. Not only the mood, maybe the condition or the feeling of the person is totally change. Before I tell you about this one furthermore, let's find out the word "Out of the blue" and the meaning of itself at the sources like wikipedia and any related source.

- According from Wikipedia, "Out of the blue" is : "Out of the blue" is an informal English language idiom that describes an event that occurs unexpectedly, without any warning or preparation.It is used as an adverb. The "blue" in the phrase refers to the sky, one from which a sudden plane falling is unexpected, thus it comes 'out of the blue'. 

- American, British, and Australian using the idiom "out of the blue" or "out of a clear blue sky". The meaning is if something happens out of the blue, it happens suddenly and you are not expecting it. For example: Then one day, completely out of the blue, I had a letter from her. The invasion came out of a clear blue sky and caught everyone off guard.

According from that data above, we can say that the feeling of out of the blue is come easily with the unexpected by you. This feeling is can easily you feel come in anytime and anywhere. Let's make an example using with my experience. Well, sometimes, i feel out of the blue when I hear about some songs. For example like a love song, romatic song, or some songs that related with my past or any past event in my life. The another example is when you go to some places and you feel miss the moment to come to that place with someone in the past. You feel like nostalgia and you miss the moment. Another example is even you talk tih your friends and they talk about something about maybe your last relationships, maybe your ex, and so on. For them, maybe it feels like a joke and you smile or maybe laugh to hear about that, but in your deep mind and heart, you feel something different. Don't feel this feeling is like a curse for you, just let it flow and enjoy the feeling. It is normal when you feel this feeling you know. There are several things for me it this feeling is come and happen to me. Every person have a different ways to make this feeling gone. For myself, there are several things to make this feel of out the blue gone. I can :

- Go to any places that I like alone and only myself
- Take a ride with my motorcycle to get some fresh air
- Eat anything what I want
- Listening a music
- Singing the song
- Hanging out with my friends sometime
- Sleep

Well, you can follow my things to do if I feel out of the blue, but if you have a better things to do to make this feeling gone, so go on and feel free to do that things. As a conclude, lets look from the positive one if you feel out of the blue. The positive thing is yourself need your own time. You must release your over thinking and feeling and do many things to pleasure yourself. You need to relax and enjoy your time lonely or together with your friends. Besides every memory or problem that can make you feel out of the blue, the important thing is how to manage your feeling and also how to make your own pleasure time to make you feel better or you feel release from your feel of the out of the blue. Well, that's all for me. See ya fellas.
