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 :)

Pindahan #2: Putus

Nggak, saya nggak putus. Lha mau putus sama siapa? Okay, selamat datang kembali di blog post series Pindahan! Buat yang belum baca part 1-nya, sila dibaca di sini ya, biar nggak bingung saya ngoceh tentang apa. Lanjuttt! Untuk pindahan kali ini, saya memutuskan nggak pakai jasa mover alias tukang jasa pindahan. Kenapa? Karena selain barang saya nggak banyak-banyak amat, pakai mover di sini juga lumayan mahal, bisa $70 - $100. Mending duitnya dipake buat beli baju baru . Nah, resiko nggak pakai mover adalah, saya harus mau pindahin barang saya sedikit demi sedikit dari rumah lama ke rumah baru. Rutinitas saya tiap pagi selama seminggu belakangan kira-kira begini: tiap pagi ke kantor bawa gembolan dua travel bag atau satu koper --> Dilihatin dan ditanyain sama orang-orang sekantor, "Wah, you're flying back home, ah?" --> I wish --> Kerja membanting tulang demi sepetak kamar sampai kira-kira jam 7 malam --> Gotong-gotong gembolan ke rumah baru. Asal ta

Beberapa hari yang lalu, saya lagi baca One Year Bible Plan, waktu roommate saya ingatin untuk bayar uang kost. FYI, we rent a unit of HDB (sebutan untuk rumah susun di Singapore) here, consists of three bedrooms, and one of those rooms has been vacant for a month. We’ve been trying our best in order to find a housemate, but still haven’t found one yet. Nah, berhubung saya dan roommate saya nyewa satu unit, konsekuensinya adalah kalau ada kamar yang kosong, kami yang harus nanggung pembayarannya. Haha, finding a housemate is frustating, and paying for a vacant room is even more! :p But then, we have no choice. Jadi, waktu roommate saya ingatin untuk bayar uang kost (karena memang udah waktunya bayar), I went downstair to withdraw money from ATM (di bawah rumah saya ada mesin ATM, lol!). Waktu habis ngambil uang, saya cek saldo, dan… langsung mengasihani diri sendiri, wkwk. Ironis sekali bagaimana sederet angka yang terpampang di monitor mesin ATM bisa mempengaruhi mood-mu, ya? :p N
