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 :)

FTV Brondong Lover

Kemarin baru dapat update dari SinemArt, FTV yang diangkat dari novel saya, Brondong Lover, udah selesai shooting! Sekarang FTV itu lagi dalam proses editing, lalu setelah ini bakal ditawarkan ke statiun-stasiun TV. Dan JANGAN TANYA kapan dan di stasiun TV mana FTV itu bakal ditayangin, karena saya juga belum tau Untuk pemain di FTV itu sendiri, so far saya juga cuma tau dua pemeran utamanya. Nasha, si tokoh utama dalam Brondong Lover, diperankan Pevita Pearce . Pevita adalah cewek blasteran Banjarmasin-Inggris, yang sebelumnya pernah main bareng Richard Kevin dalam film Lost in Love. Saya suka Pevita, karena di imajinasi saya tokoh Nasha juga mirip-mirip Pevita gini sih. Dan dari segi umur juga Pevita sebaya Nasha (Pevita aslinya berumur 16 tahun, sementara Nasha di buku saya berusia 18, nggak jauh-jauh amat lah bedanya) Terus, pemeran Dave, si brondong nyolot adalah Kevin Julio . Lucunya, nama panjang Kevin Julio kan Kevin Julio Chandra, sementara nama lengkap Dave itu Reynaldo D...
