For Better, For Worse

Have you ever heard of Chris Medina? I have never, until one time I saw his name in an Singapore’s TV commercial about a charity event. It was not a memorable TV commercial, tho, but Medina’s name was somehow recorded on my mind.

Time passed by, and one day I found out that my brother posted a video on his Facebook profile, and it was the music video of Chris Medina’s single, titled What Are Words.


I watched that music video… and fell down into tears. That was the time I remember that TV commercial, and I googled about Chris. The following is the story that I gathered from various sources.

Chris Medina is one of American Idol 10 season’s contestants. He made it into top 40 and got eliminated on February 24, 2011. The reason why he became the mos notable contestant during that season is his story with his fiancee, Juliana Ramos (she’s very beautiful, isn’t she?)




Chris and Juliana has been together for eight years until Chris proposed Juliana two years ago (you can see that proposal scene on What Are Words music video below), and they planned to wed soon after.

But… God has another plan.

Juliana got a car accident on October 2, 2009, and suffered a traumatic brain injury. What touched my heart the most was the fact that Chris stood beside Juliana, and has been taking care of her eversince. I mean… he could leave her, couldn’t he? They were “just” engaged, not married yet, Chris is able to pursue a bright future, and no one will blame him if he decided so. I think… even Juliana will understand.

But, as Chris sang in his song, “What kind of guy would I be, if I was to leave when you need me most?”, I am sure that he will keep his promises to Juliana, no matter how Juliana’s condition will be :’)

Anyway, these are the official music video of What Are Words, and the video of Juliana saying thank you for all the support from Chris’ fans.




Eventhough I don’t know them personally, I am glad to pray for them, knowing that the self-sacrificing-for-better-for-worse love like this still exist in a world filled with selfishness. Please, bring them on your prayers also :)

Djarum Indonesia Open Super Series 2008

Aaaahhh senangnyaaaaaa! Kemarin pas pulang, lihat papan reklame di pertigaan dekat kantor sudah diganti, dengan iklan Djarum Indonesia Open Super Series 2008! Yang bikin senang, di situ ada tulisan: SAKSIKAN HANYA DI TRANS7 ! Bakal ditayangin di tipi! Hahahahaha senangnyaaaa! Padahal, kemarin-kemarin saya sempat pesimis, karena Juni ini kan juga ada Euro 2008, dan takutnya nggak ada stasiun TV yang mau ambil resiko untuk menayangkan Djarum Indonesia Open Super Series karena gaungnya pasti kalah dari Euro. Tapi ternyata Trans7 baik hati sekaliii! YESSSS ! Oya, bagi yang nggak tau, Djarum Indonesia Open Super Series 2008, atau lebih populer dengan Indonesia Open, adalah turnamen bulutangkis yang bakal diadakan di Gelora Bung Karno mulai 17-22 Juni 2008. Super Series sendiri diadakan 12 kali dalam setahun, di negara-negara seluruh dunia, mulai dari Malaysia, Korea, Inggris *a.k.a All England*, Swiss, Singapura, Indonesia, Jepang, China *pasteenyaa! Dua kali, malah!*, Denmark, Prancis...

Rekor!

Hihi… Sabtu kemarin saya bikin rekor ! Bukaaan, bukan rekor beli sepatu lima pasang dalam sehari *segila-gilanya saya, kayaknya nggak mungkin segila itu deh *, tapi rekor dalam mengetik ! Jadi, setelah target untuk menyelesaikan sekuel Dylan selama liburan kemarin gagal *baca ceritanya di sini *, saya nekat menggarap hingga selesai hari Sabtu kemarin! And I did it! Total, saya mengetik 30 halaman dalam semalam! Non-stop ! Bahkan nggak jalan-jalan ke ruang makan untuk ambil camilan, nggak diselingi main The Sims , nggak sambil usil ngedit foto di potosop... Pokoknya ngetik terus sampai jam tiga pagi ! Dan kata-kata yang kuketik itu seolah sudah terprogram di otak, hanya tinggal ditumpahkan lewat kibor laptop saja! Bener-bener rekor deh... 30 halaman ! Gilaaa... begitu selesai , tangan langsung kaku! Capek banget! But the satisfaction ... I could not describe it. Puas bangeeeettt ! Yah, apalagi ini naskah yang memang sudah saya harapkan bisa secepatnya dikirim ke penerbi...
