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 :)

Tangan Kosong

Sedih banget deh, Indonesia terpaksa pulang dengan tangan kosong dari Singapore Super Series 2009 kemarin Meloloskan dua wakilnya ke final, WD Nitya Krishinda Maheswari/Greysia Polii dan MD Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan, Indonesia malah gagal mencuri gelar. Greysia/Nitya kalah 14-21, 13-21 dari ganda China, Zhang Yawen/Zhao Tingting. It’s okay sih, karena Greysia/Nitya sebenarnya nggak diprediksi akan bisa sampai babak final (tapi mereka bahkan menumbangkan pasangan rank 1 dunia, Chin Eei Hui/Wong Pei Tty di quarter final!) Jadi prestasi mereka yang bisa menapak sampai ke final ini aja udah luar biasa, dan cukup menenangkan hati karena tau kita masih punya ganda putri yang bisa diandalkan setelah Vita Marissa/Lilyana Natsir bubar jalan. Apalagi, Nitya/Greysia sama-sama masih muda, yang berarti jalan mereka masih panjang. Good job, Nitya/Greysia! Next time better ya! Yang mengecewakan justru kekalahan Markis Kido/Hendra Setiawan dari pasangan Inggris, Anthony Clark/Nathan Robertson . K...

One Last Chance

With a grateful heart, I proudly present you my 11th book: Adrienne Hanjaya, novelis muda berbakat yang buku-bukunya selalu bestseller, mempunyai satu prinsip: Tak boleh ada patah hati yang tak menghasilkan royalti. Setiap kisah cintanya yang berantakan selalu dituangkan Adrienne dalam naskah. Semuanya. Dengan nama tokoh pria yang sering kali menggunakan nama sebenarnya, dengan ending buruk bagi si tokoh pria dan kebahagiaan bagi si tokoh wanita. Adrienne berpendapat, para pria itu layak mendapatkannya karena telah menyia-nyiakan cintanya. Sampai akhirnya, Adrienne bertemu Danny Husein, calon dokter muda yang bahkan sempat dikiranya too good to be true . Kali ini Adrienne mengira akhirnya ia bisa menulis novel roman yang berakhir dengan tokoh pria dan wanita bahagia bersama. Tapi perkiraan Adrienne salah. Salah satu cowok yang pernah dijadikan tokoh novelnya memberitahu Danny tentang prinsip menulis Adrienne. Bagaimana reaksi Danny mendengar itu? Apakah ia memilih meninggalka...
