Phantom

Yesterday, I've just found one of great Korean band.. Well, they're not a rookie i think. They debuted at November 2011. But I've just known about them yesterday..

What is good? Bukan tampangnya pastinya. Baru kali ini gw bisa jatuh cinta cuma dari suaranya, bahkan liat mukanya belum. Dan lagu - lagunya juga so sweet banget.. 

Here's their debut song.. "A Hole in Your Face"

And i really fall in love with this song, "Seaweed Soup"



This is one of their project, so creative.. Love it :D

B2ST - 니가 보고 싶어지면 (When I Miss You)

Hello, long time not posting here..
I'm comeback with Beast's new album "Midnight Sun".

Source : Soompi.com

There's a track which titled 니가 보고 싶어지면 (When I Miss You).
These day, don't know why I'm so caught up with this song..
This song is just too sweet :D



English Translation:

I coincidentally heard news about you, are you doing well?
I think I’m doing well
It’s a relief, I seem happy
I thought I’d still be struggling

Feeling a bit lonely (feeling depressed)
I kept wandering through past memories
The deeper the night grew
I needlessly got a bit sad

When I miss you (so good bye, good bye)
When I long for you even more
I blankly lay there, blankly lay there
Eventually, not going to sleep
Even when I miss you (so good bye, good bye)
Even when I think of you more
I am alright, I am alright, I am alright
If only you are happy

It feels like I am floating in the air
It’s a problem that doesn’t necessarily need a conclusion
If it awakens like last night’s dream, it all scatters
If I try to approach you, you keep getting farther, why do you keep getting farther

When I was with you, before I let you go
I loved you with all my strength
So I have no regrets
I thought the person for you was me
But I guess it’s not

When I miss you (so good bye, good bye)
When I long for you even more
I blankly lay there, blankly lay there
Eventually, not going to sleep
Even when I miss you (so good bye, good bye)
Even when I think of you more
I am alright, I am alright, I am alright
If only you are happy

The road I took to take you home, the coffee we drank together
The book we read together, the drama we watched together
I long for all these things so much
The road I took to take you home, the coffee we drank together
The book we read together, the drama we watched together
I long for all these things so much

Even when I miss you (so good bye, good bye)
Even when I think of you more
I am alright, I am alright, I am alright
If only you are happy

Ippeke Komachi at MKG

Holla.. Sorry for long hiatus..
I'm back with a food review now..
Semua anak gading pasti udah pada tau donk Ippeke Komachi.. Dulu namanya Robatta Komachi, yang jual takoyaki rasa original dan murah itu loh.. Sayang sekarang harganya udah naik. Hehehehe..

Akhirnya, setelah renovasi, gw dan temen" mencoba makan di sini..
Katanya, sushi di sini rasanya original dan sama kaya di Jepang asli. Jadi, jangan dibandingin sama outlet - outlet sushi yang lain. Makanya banyak orang Jepang asli yang milih buat makan disini dibanding tempat lain. 

Setelah renov, interior nya cukup berubah. Dulu tempatnya agak tertutup dan remang - remang gitu. Sekarang jadi lebih terbuka. Trus selain sushi bar, dia ada tempat buat teppanyaki gitu.. Jadi yang langsung dimasak disana di pan rata gitu deh. Bener ga Teppanyaki namanya? Sorry klo salah hehehe..


So, here are our orders

First, cawan mushi.. Woww, I never tried this food before.. Dan ternyata, nyokap gw sering banget bikin kaya ginian, tapi tanpa nori dan daging. Dan bikinnya gampang banget loh. I think i'm gonna make it by myself if i have some time. The taste, just like i thought. Delicious.. Kebetulan masakan nyokap yang paling gw suka yah kaya gini. Rasanya, exactly the same dengan tambahan nori dan daging aja.. :)

Other, we ordered Gyoza soalnya takoyaki nya nunggu lama. Untungnya di dalem ga ada wasabi. Dan rasanya pas banget..


The sushi are..

Ryu Maki (Dragon Roll), Bentuknya persis kaya di menu.. Isinya shrimp tempura, di atasnya dikasih alpukat plus taburan tobiko dan gatau yang warna pink itu apa plus mayo. Delicious.. Garing tempuranya dapet, dan paduannya pas.

Spicy Tuna Roll, tasted like usual. Tuna nya ga amis dan ga terlalu pedes. Pas deh..
Unagi Crispy Roll, Garing dan gw suka banget sushi belut.. Rasanya standard sih, but it's okay.
Sake Maki (Salmon Maki), one of my favourite sushi, dimanapun itu.. Salmonnya fresh banget, tapi sayang porsinya terlalu sedikit. hehehehe..
Teriyaki Chicken Roll, sorry forget to take a picture.. So, i take it from menu.. enak. Ayamnya empuk dan Saus teriyakinya pas banget di lidah..
Ada yang unik lagi.. liat handuk kecil di bawah?? Jadi, selain nyediain tempat cuci tangan, mereka nyediain handuk basah buat bersihin tangan.. Dan handuknya wangi banget. hehehe..

Buat yang mikir sushi di sini mahal - mahal, ternyata ngga loh. Dan worth it karena rasanya enak dan ga bakal nyesel deh abisin duit di sini. Apalagi buat pecinta sushi. Sayang menu nya kurang banyak variannya.. Tapi kualitas rasa tetep paling oke donk :D

Breakfast at McDonald's

Hello guys, buat yang sering makan McD pasti tau deh klo ada menu breakfast.
Jadi sejak beberapa tahun yang lalu, saat beberapa McD di Jakarta berubah jadi Tony's Jack, McD yang tetap ada membuat development dengan menghadirkan menu baru yaitu menu breakfast.
Nah, menu breakfast ini bisa dinikmati setiap hari mulai jam 5 - 11 pagi. Jadi di jam tersebut, kita ga lagi bisa order menu biasa semacam cheeseburger or french fries, kecuali PaNas.

Last Saturday, gw dan teman - teman mencoba menu breakfast di McD.
Ada beberapa menu burger yang tersedia, yaitu Egg McMuffin, Sausage McMuffin, dan Sausage McMuffin with Egg. Tersedia juga paket dengan tambahan kopi, atau tambahan kopi + hash brown. Selain menu burger, ada juga menu Big Breakfast. Sebenarnya ini semacam burger juga, cuma dipisah - pisah aja. Trus ada juga pancakes yang disebut dengan hotcakes.

All pictures are from McDonald's official webpage.

Egg McMuffin


Sausage McMuffin

Sausage McMuffin with Egg
Hash Brown
Big Breakfast
Hotcakes

That time, I ordered Egg McMuffin, hash brown, and iced Milo. While my friends ordered Sausage McMuffin and Sausage McMuffin with Egg.

Sorry, i don't have a real picture but i tried to explain the taste.

Apa sih yang spesial dari burger di menu breakfast ini??
Bedanya adalah pada roti nya. Ga seperti roti burger biasa, untuk menu breakfast McD menggunakan English Muffin yang renyah dan enak banget rasanya. Plus I'm an egg lover!! Jadi, gimana pun juga mesti pesen yang ada telornya, I tried Egg McMuffin yang isinya telor mata sapi, daging asap, dan keju. How's the taste?? Deliciosooo!! Kejunya berasa banget dan blend banget sama daging asap dan telornya. I love it better than Double Cheeseburger that I usually bought. I don't have a real picture, but believe me. Porsi dan bentuknya ga jauh beda kok dari gambar :D

For Hash Brown, that's not the first time i try it. I've tried it before when I'm waiting for my office hour when i was intern and craving for some french fries before start to work. But in breakfast time, there's only hash brown. So, I tried it. Well, other than egg and cheese lover, i am a potato lover too.. And i love the hashbrown. It's delicious. :)

For Egg McMuffin, it costs IDR 16.000, and IDR 7.000 for each hash brown. But it's worth it :)
Really recommended, i think when i earn some money by myself, i will consider this for breakfast. But not everyday too. Still remember it's a junk food.. Ugh..

Amore: The Sweet Hostage by Nesti Mindha R


Sinopsis:
Selly patah hati ketika tahu pacarnya tidur dengan dosen paling genit di kampusnya. Untuk melampiaskan kemarahan, ia mengobrak-abrik isi rumah dosennya. Sayangnya, aksi Selly itu direkam oleh pria menyeramkan. Pria itu, yang mengaku bernama Mark, mengancam akan menyebarkan video tersebut jika Selly tidak mau membantunya. Karena takut mencoreng nama keluarga, Selly terpaksa menuruti permintaan Mark.

Selly curiga Mark pembunuh, tapi ia tak tega melihat kondisi Mark dan malah menyembunyikan pria itu di apartemennya. Selly berniat melaporkan Mark ke polisi, tapi mengurungkan niatnya setelah melihat Mark berubah menjadi pria tampan, sopan, dan memesona. Mark meyakinkan Selly bahwa dia bukan pembunuh, melainkan saksi pembunuhan sehingga para pembunuh yang sebenarnya memburunya dan dia harus bersembunyi.

Kekacauan bertambah saat Selly turut menjadi sasaran para pembunuh itu. Kini, bersama Mark, Selly menjadi buronan dan nyawa mereka menjadi taruhan. Sementara itu Selly menyadari bahwa ia telah jatuh hati pada Mark, meskipun ia tahu Mark hanya menjadikannya tawanan... tawanan yang manis.

My thoughts:
Well, another Amore again. Bought it because the cover is cute and i need some refreshment from final project. Sebenernya ini novel udah dibeli hampir sebulanan dan baru gw baca kemarin. Karena sempet scanning baca kayanya kok kurang menarik. Jadi gw biarkan novel ini nganggur selama sebulan, baru kemaren pas bosen baru coba baca. 

Ternyata ga sejelek yang dibayangkan sih. Lumayan ceritanya. Alurnya jelas, dan ga keliatan mengada - ada ceritanya. Masih masuk akal lah. Cuma agak sedikit terganggu aja sama dialognya yang pake 'aku-kau'. Jadi keliatan seolah kaya novel terjemahan sih. Tapi cara penjabaran ceritanya cukup rapi dan keliatan banget niatnya dalam research dan muter otak buat bikin buku ini. Terutama buat adegan - adegan kriminalnya. Cara dia melarikan diri,dll gitu deh. Good Job.

Tapi, gw agak kurang bisa membayangkan tokoh Mark itu fisiknya gimana sih. Mungkin karena emang ga suka bule juga, apalagi yang pirang, jadi ga kebayang yah. Mungkin yang suka bbule lebih bisa ngebayangin hehehe

Kayanya, gw bakal kapok deh beli Amore lagi. Secara lebih sering nyeselnya, kayanya tetep ke Metropop aja deh. :p

The King 2 Hearts (더킹투허츠 )



Finally, i watched this drama until the end!! this is the first drama which i followed from episode 1 until end by waiting it every weeks.. 

It's war.. This is the story about North and South Korea. It turns out that the King of South Korea (fictional, South Korea is a republic now) wanted to make North and South Korea unit as one, just like Germany. So, while attending the WOC (World's Officer Championship), he decided to mixed the officer from South and North to create a friendship between them. And for one candidate, he made his brother, the royal prince which just out from military services to join the team. But, the unification can't go really well because there's someone from Club M always be a threaten.

The story is really good, actually i am not the kind who loves Korean drama which is action drama. But i think, i love this.. You wouldn't find a great romance or comedy, but the cast is adorable i think :)

My first reason to watch this is actually because the main star is Lee Seung Gi, you all know him right. I really love when he acts in "My Girlfriend is Gumiho", and i think in this drama he will have the same characters with the previous drama. It is. But he is more serious because in this drama he become a king (something happened to his brother, the King, so he replaced him).

Cast :
Lee Seung Gi as Lee Jae Ha
Ha Ji Won as Kim Hang Ah
Jo Jung Suk as Eun Shi Kyung
Yoon Je Moon as Kim Bong Goo / John Mayer
Lee Yoon Ji as Lee Jae Shin

The story is all about North - South unification and about the love between Lee Jae Ha and Kim Hang Ah. They are the officers from WOC that never had a good relationship before, but lately their feelings grow which is really sweet.. Other than Jae Ha-Hang Ah relationship, i also love the relationship between Jae Shin (the princess, Jae Ha sister) and Shi Kyung (one of officers who join WOC too). They are the sweetest.


Other than that, I love Ha Ji Won too. She's so different from Secret Garden's Gil Ra Im. I think because she's an officer so she would be so boyish, but she's actually so feminine here. And I love how she become so harsh and a strong Officer.

A really sweet quote from Jae Ha (JH) to Hang Ah (HA) :
JH : I want to ask you one thing. Do you like me or Eun Shi Kyung?
HA : I don't know about that, but there's someone that i hate.
JH : Lee Jae Ha? You know I hold a grudge, right? I'm going to take revenge on you for saying that. You ready for it?

I'm going to shower you with kisses every morning, that's my revenge. Like a stalker, i'm going to follow you around everyday, I'm going to buy everything you want, I'll never cheat on you, I'm going to only look at you, I will never let you shed another teardrops. I will make you the world's happiest Queen, I will love you alone until the day I die.
That's my revenge. My queen, I'm officially proposing to you.


I love the princess, Lee Jae Shin, an easy going and brutal princess. She's a singer and has a band too, and so cheerful. But after the death of the King, she changed because she thought she was the one who killed her brother. She has a relationship with Eun Shi Kyung, not really a boyfriend or girlfriend, but Shi Kyung is her private bodyguard. And from the first time they actually had fallen in love with each other. Shi Kyung was really cute, because he is the one who can't really express his feeling. Well, he is a soldier.. She has a song for him, i really love the song :)

When Jae Shin is singing for Shi Kyung



Here's the cut from Jae Shin's song (ep7)
source : @YT

The royal family were really kind. The King (Lee Jae Kang) is the kindest. He really likes Kim Hang Ah, so he really wants her married with Jae Ha. The mother (Queen) somehow looks don't like Hang Ah, but actually she's love her so much.

What's unique in this movie, we can hear North Korean accent. It's so funny, just like the dialect in Ancient Korean (if you watch Colossal Film). And the way they talk is really differnt. But also good to hear.

WOC team (minus Jae Ha and Hang Ah)
This movie is rated 4,5 out of 5 from me. I would give it 5 if the ending has some changed. I just can't believe the writer would make someone become like that. Ugh! But, for Jae-Ha and Hang-Ah of course a happy ending there..

Recommended!! :D

Ikuta Toma

Long time not posting here...
Sebenarnya post ini udah lamaaaaa banget pengen di post, tapi baru kesampean sekarang.
Well, mencuri - curi waktu di tengah kesibukan dan kegalauan tugas akhir, mari kita ngomongin tentang one of my idol, Ikuta Toma.

Pertama, gw mau nanya dulu, ada yang pernah nonton HanaKimi versi Jepang tahun 2007 (soalnya ada yang 2011 sekarang). Tau yang jadi Nakatsu nya? 
Atau ada yang pernah nonton honey and clover versi drama nya? Tau siapa yang jadi Takemoto Yuuta?

Yep, he's Ikuta Toma. Dia adalah salah satu jebolan dari Johnny's Entertainment yang sayangnya belum debut juga sampai saat ini (maksudnya debut jadi penyanyi). Tapi gapapah, yang penting eksis di layar kaca deh hehehe..





So this is my story..

Actually i watch honey and clover first and didn't realize that the main actor was him. Cuma sempet bilang wah lucu yah. Malah sebenernya lebih suka sama yang jadi Yamada nya. But then, i watched HanaKimi and yeah, i really was captured by him. Not by his looks, but by his dumbness and dorkiness. Mungkin karena perannya aja kebetulan agak dodol yah. Pas nonton versi Taiwan, gw juga suka sama peran Nakatsu (yang main Jiro Wang). Tapi entah kenapa sukanya lebih ke Toma, karena lebih cocok aja (apa mungkin toma nya yang aslinya dodol :p).



Satu lagi kenapa gw ga bisa lepas, ternyata yang suka sama dia dikit (in my group i mean, klo di dunia mah banyak banget lahh). Apalagi Joan, yang suka jepang juga udah ter-captured mati"an sama Yamapi ,yaudah jadilah Toma milikku seorang *labil* Ohyah, Toma dan Yamapi ternyata berteman baik lohh :p




Just wanna share, not asking you to like him. But for me, i didn't regret that i love him :)
