Separation

You know what, the schedule is out. And the bad thing about it is... aku terpisahkan... Emang sih, nggak sendirian. I have two close-friends with me. But....

Why? I'm too over-reacted?
Yes. Because you've never experienced a position when you're not a friend for people that you believe as your friends. Because you've never experienced a position when people only know you when they need you. I HAVE. Too much? yes, friends mean so much in my life.

Yes, maybe you can get friends easily. You can talk to new friends easily. But I can't. It is easy for you, but it's not for me. -_- saaad~~~ I am not born to be a social butterfly.

Will there be someone that I can joke about the lecturers with...
Will there be someone that will text me and ask me, "Where's our class today?"
Will there be someone that will chat me, "Writing gimanaaaa?" "UAS gimana? Surem..."
Will there be someone who cares?


Will they miss me? Because I WILL definitely miss them, one by one.

What is the thing that they gonna miss from me? My laughter? My silly act? My advice?

Oh, okay maybe they will only miss my tissue, mirror, comb, and candies...

I don't really know

It's love. Yeah, love. What things you don't know from love? The love itself.

There's a person who loves a girl, but the girl doesn't love him back.
There's a girl who loves a man, but that man loves her as a sister.
There are two people in love, but they just want to love without any bound.
There are two people in a relationship, but one of them doesn't love the other. It's only a pity.
There are two people in a relationship, but it's only for a game.
There's a person who loves you madly, really wants to have you like a crazy, but you will never realized.
There's a person you love, but he thinks it is friendship.
There's a person you love, but you can't have him at all, because he chooses other girl,
There's a person you love, but then life let him left you cruelly.
There's a person you loved, but destiny never give you a chance to meet him again.
There's a person you hate, but he loves you with all of his heart.
There are two people fight because of love.
There are two people hurt each other because of love.
There are two people who are deeply falling in love, thinking about each other.

Me? I don't understand what is love, because love once visited me, and then he abandoned me like a lost puppy. Love tells us to only look at someone, cherish him like he is the only thing we have. But then, love doesn't come to that person. Love dies, love will vanish.

Newly weds say "I love you" every morning for only one year. After that? NO.
This is Love. Irrational. Like an opium, people want to taste it, but then they can't let it go. They're being controlled by that irrational thing which can leave them anytime.

So love, do visit me, trap me in your sweetness, but never leave me before you visit him and tell him that he should love me.

Love, please do visit the right person.

No More Autumn This Year!

I was shocked when I saw this news. Chun left Fahrenheit. The other members will continue their activities as three. Oh, GOD! I hope it wasn't real, it was another rumor, but of course it was! Clearly, 22nd of June, HIM stated that Chun has officialy left Fahrenheit. Bad dream came true!

I knew someday this thing will be happened. I knew, and I understand. One day, the most solid group would be broken. I can understand his decision, since he is already 31, and will become 32 this October, but still, I can't stop my feeling. I love this group, Fahrenheit. They have been be a part of my life for this 4 years. The one that I always proud of, suddenly left me, it feels like he abandoned the fans. The other members were clearly sad. We read their feelings through their weibo posts.

That's why the other fans were mad and disappointed. They keep fighting till now. My friends from another country also felt the same way. But, we chose to be smart. There's no need to fight. It would make things worse. I hate to say this, but as a fans I have to support him no matter what happened. It was his decision, and I have to believe that decision is the best for him. He will be happy with this decision, he will leave Fahrenheit to be a good man and protect his family.

That makes this year, there will be no Autumn. My Autumn has gone, and I don't know what to do about. Spring, Summer and Winter have to fight without the wise Autumn. See you, Chun! I hope I can meet you one day. I believe in you! :)

They Should Get More

Have you ever imagined to be a big star? What comes in your mind when you imagine about that? Popular? Talented? Successful? Rich? Yep, most of American stars are rich, but Korean stars are not, especially K-Pop stars. I think K-Pop stars don't get their salaries fairly, they deserve to get more salaries, and these reasons show why: they lost their privacy, the companies pay them very low, and they do a lot of works.

First, they lost their ordinary live. They have to live in a dorm, together with other members of their group (imagine, 13 members sleep in one room). They only visit their family twice in a year. They can not go outside the dorm without any permission from their manager. They are allowed to have their own car, but they can not use it, because the fans will easily spot them. They even have to leave the school, because their schedule is so tight. Also, some companies do not allow their artists to have a boyfriend or girlfriend, because it might cause the artists lose their popularity). And of course, paparazzi is ready to take your pictures, or reveal your dark past.

SHINee's Dorm- Five members share one room

The second reason is the companies pay their artists very low. JYP Entertainment (Jay Young- Park Entertainment) takes 50 % of the artists' income. The artists get 50%, and this 50% has to be share among the members. The more members in the group, the less money you get. For example, if you are a member of a group that consists of 5 members, you will get 50% divided by 5 =10%. Imagine if there is a group consists of 10 members, each of them will only get 5%. SM Entertainment (Soo Man Entertainment)- the biggest entertainment company in Korea- takes more. Many people said SM pays the artists really low. You can read TVXQ's contract:

Below is what the court has presented as the content of the members’ contracts. The contract has been modified 5 times since their debut, so this is the overall review.

    1. TVXQ has received $0 from their album sales till July 2008, and a very small amount after.

    Before the fifth modification that the company made with their contract, it stated that the profit from albums and singles with sales less than 500,000 copies would go 100% to SM Entertainment, which left the members with nothing. There has been no Korean album that have exceeded 500,000 album sales between the time of TVXQ’s debut and their 4th album Mirotic, which was the first album in Korea to sell over 500,000 albums for a long time.

    On July 1 2008, the company changed the contract so each member would get 1% from album sales that exceeded 200,000 copies. For albums that are below that number, they are paid 0.6% to nothing. Through these terms, TVXQ has not earned a single cent since February 2009.

    2. TVXQ has received $0 from sales of concert DVD’s and albums with recordings from concerts.

    The contract stated that the members are not entitled to get any profit from concert DVD’s and “live” albums.

    3. TVXQ received $0 from their appearances in TV programs.

    In the contract, the members do not have a right to receive the shares made from appearances on television programs if they are featured in only one episode or if their appearance is temporary. SM has kept all the profit from TV shows where TVXQ were guests.

    4. For other ways of getting profit, SM subtracts the total amount with all the expenses that the company has paid for them, including clothing, salary of company staff, stage preparation, rent, food expenses, and etc., which only leaves a fraction for the members of TVXQ.

TVXQ- three members (Xiah, Micky, and Hero) left SM Entertainment because of the contract problem

The next reason is, they do a lot of work. Usually, K-Pop stars have a tight schedule. Super Junior,for example, is booked until March 2012 for concerts, variety shows, live performances, radio guest activities, and so on. Besides that, if they have no schedule, they have to practice their choreography and their performances. usually a K-Pop star spends 10 hours to practice everyday. This schedule is going tighter and tighter if the star release a new album, he has to promote his album in at least, 5 different TV stations per week. Let me show you SHINee's schedule from December 2010 to January 2011. They had a really tight schedule, even in the Christmas and New Year's holidays.

 SHINee's Schedule

04 Dec 2010 (Sat) [Live] PM 03:50 MBC-TV Music Core! – MC Onew*Minho

05 Dec 2010 (Sun) [Performance] PM 00:00 The First Story of Oh Joonsung ‘Drama Concert’ – Guest (Seoul, Peace Center, Kyung Hee University)

 11 Dec 2010 (Sat) [Live] PM 03:50 MBC-TV Music Core! – MC Onew*Minho

26 Dec 2010 (Sun) [Overseas] PM 05:00 SHINee – The 1st Concert in Japan (Tokyo, Japan Yoyogi National Stadium 1st Gymnasium)

29th December 2010 SBS Gayo Daejun 2010

31st December 2010 – 1st January 2011 MBC Gayo Daejun 2010

 1 Jan 2011 (Sat) [Concerts] PM 00:00 SHINee – The 1st Concert in Seoul – 1 (Seoul, KBS Gymnastics Gymnasium)

2 Jan 2011 (Sun) [Concerts] PM 00:00 SHINee – The 1st Concert in Seoul – 2 (Seoul, KBS Gymnastics Gymnasium)

SHINee has to practice their choreography everyday, in order to make a great live performance.

Those three reasons really show that K-Pop stars deserve to get more salaries. They lost their privacy, the companies pay them very low, and they do a lot of works. See? The company should be wise and treat their artists better, because they give big contributions to the company. They should be treated as humans, not as robots which can earn money 24/7. That is my opinion. How about you?

A Message From Someone That You Don't Know

*Heya, this is actually a poem for Aaron's birthday last November, but I forgot to post it here.
Here it is...*

I Have No Idea

Hmm, I want to make a short story (or maybe a fan-fiction), but now I have no idea. I want to make a dramatic and romantic yet funny story (it's hard, isn't it?) huhuhu.... I need some references. Hmm, maybe I will watch some Kdrama later, 哈哈哈。。。

Anyway, I always have a special plot for the characters. (evil laugh) It's my style, to make my lead character has some painful experiences. Am I mean? Oh, I just want to make my stories more interesting. In my last story-which I've erased- the male character (played by Aaron Yan) had a weird disease called aplastic anemia (>.<"). 对不起哦，亚纶。。。(I'm sorry, Aaron)

Aaron Yan

My next project maybe will have Onew as its main character. I need to find a suitable female lead actress.(^^)

Onew

So, let me thinking about it. Hahaha, I feel I am like the director of a movie... hehe...

Announcement

*not really important because I am the only reader of this blog for now*
From today, this blog will include some of my writing assignments. All of my assignments will be labeled "Writing Assignments", to separate my assignments from the other entries.

I don't want to make a new blog, I love this blog. As my lecturer's request, I have already erased some Indonesian and Chinese parts of my entries (I regret it though, LOL). Oh, I also erased my Indonesian short stories. (>.<)


That's the announcement. See ya... ^_^
