Next : M A Y


"Mei ini umurku 19 tahun. Aku ingin sense yang berbeda kali ini, tahun depan aku sudah 20 tahun dan bukan saatnya untuk bersantai lagi dengan hariku yang indah ini."

 Seorang gadis yang beranjak puber terlihat sedang meniup 9 buah lilin yang tertancap di kue coklat kotak itu. Rambutnya hitam panjang dan kala itu dunianya masih indah.

"Mereka melupakannya. Aku tidak pernah melupakan ulang tahun mereka. Namun tidak rajin aku memberi mereka hadiah setiap tahun. Maafkan aku, namun aku cukup sedih tidak bisa berbagi kebahagiaan bersama kalian karena kalian melupakannya. I'm fine and thank you."

Kini ia senantiasa seorang diri, bukan karena kurang pergaulan namun karena semua orang yang berarti bagi dirinya sibuk dengan dunia mereka sendiri-sendiri.

That's about me, I want you know it and be respect to me
I'm alone in my day, no one care about me
and I hope this year is mine and to be mine
Tired being a single, I need someone special to care with me
If I can't get this year,
Maybe I'm not here now. Too much friends wear a mask
They're come to me when need me
And go away after their trouble has finish.
What a sucks they are!
But I never hate them, because...
Because they are all my friends
And I trying to be a good person for them.
I'm sorry if had any mistakes to you all
You all make me respect to other person around me,
So, I just say THANK YOU for all my friends
When I'm 19th on May later,
I want reach a better life than last year.
Regrads, RL.

Complete Mom’s Letter to Her Son, G-Dragon

“My dear son, recently seeing you being so tired over so many things, I don’t feel good. It hurts me.

To become a singer, You are in the “Entertainment Industry” for almost 10years. But upon hearing you say that, you didn’t do anything great about and breakdown/feel sad, it hurts me you know? Sometimes seeing you like that, makes me wanna cry but im afraid that if I were to cry, you’ll give up everything. So I controlled my tears…

In my eyes, you’re my cute and lovable son. Whenever I heard people saying bad things about you, I’ll use my eyes to look/treat at them coldly but the this isn’t the purpose of my letter. I felt something that I had never felt before so I decided to tell you now.

When i saw you being welcomed and loved by the crowd and felt happy/bliss, mummy feel that being a idol is only a moment of “being proud career”.

But I still feel that it’s right for you to have this career but there are many people out there. All with different thinking and mindset. You will have to keep creating new ideas to satisfy everyone, you’re sure of this more than anyone else right?

And when you debut, you’re debuting with a title of “The Best Idol Group”. And that is also why people are focusing more on Big Bang. That is for sure.

But as a Leader of Big Bang, a leader that many anticipate about, wearing “Skimpy clothings” this will hurt so many people/fans out there!

Because I know if people are disappointed with you, their way of showing will definitely be a kind of hurt to you. But you’re such a lovable kid and if you’re being hurt by what others said, mom will be worried for you and unable to sleep.

But when things like thar happened, you’re always showing a smile on your face, being so cheerful. Then I think, that’s right, who’s son is that? Such mistakes in certain levels, can be revived and remedy. So whenever, mom see articles and things that are not truth on the net, I really hated them alot.

But come to think about it, you’re a idol and a very famous one. That could be why people are focusing and caring towards you. But I didn’t know that “caring” can become a bad thing, a bad thing that many haters out there are cursing you, saying bad comments about you to hurt you.

At that point of time. I was thinking.. “is it because others really hate you alot?” but I keep thinking.. “Why are there even people hating such a lovable child like that?” my dear son, you’re now grown up, you’re already at a age of knowing where’s and what your mistakes are.

This is Korea. And you’re a idol. That is why I think that many things have a certain levels to it. With your personality, there are people loving you it’s a “natural thing”. But from my point of view, people are saying/commenting you like that is because you had brought out a “Trend”. A trend even with “Skimpy clothings”, you worn it out like a Trend. And that us why you “entice” others’s interest, that is for sure. Due to this, I think that those who are commenting/reflecting about you are also not wrong.

Hearing all these from me, you might think that I’m “attracting attention” from you and asking you for a “sorry”. You might think that your mom betrayed you. If you think this way, now listen, that is because “I’m your mom”. Now remember this in your heart. “I’m your mom!”

So when you shoutout to the world, look at my first page of the letter, it’s your story. I feel that you’ve already reflected on yourself and you could already have your own thinking. But not long ago, during the rehearsals, your fashion stirred up a series of comments again..

Although its normal at home for us, but you’re facing a camera, a camera that the rest of the people in Korea, are seeing. But you did the same thing, same problem again. It hurts me, you know?

In my memories, you’re a perfect child. No matter what you do, it’s very detailed. But nowadays, I feel that you have “ignored” all these comments about those haters and only care about those fans that love and supported you and slowly relax yourself.

About the plagiarism and Shine A Light Concert, I know that you have treasured and focused on them, so you felt very hurt but there is a song, a lyrics that goes: “There is always up and downs.” So I believe that my son is not that kind of person that will plagiarize other people’s songs. Because he isn’t that bad boy. But for those who don’t understand my son, will definitely misunderstand. So I hoped that no matter what you do in the future, please be more careful. And don’t be sad and troubled by things like these anymore.

But to my surprise, we saw your Concert on the chart and many others are saying, I was shocked as well. You too, am I right? My boy, who is in the wrong in certain way was shocked too isn’t it?

When you’re holding your own concert, keep in mind that there are young fans too. So I think that don’t always go by your feel for the performance, give a little attention to those fans, alright?

When you just debuted, i think that the fans that you attracted are proud of you and you’re leading them. But I think that now, you are letting your fans lead you. I’m upset. You should be a person that shouldn’t be letting others lead you. Don’t keep expecting love and support from your fans. You must be energized and grow up alright my son? Mom will be supporting you no matter what happens! I’ll be at your back saying: ” Hwaiting, my son!”

Jiyong ah,
Mom will always believe you and love you. I hoped that you’ll become a humble person and will accept those comments by people out there. To you, it’s still a long way and we are constantly seeing you grow isn’t it?

Your mom will be expecting what’s coming out from you more than any of your fan that loved you out there! Don’t ever forget this.

Jiyong ah, in the future there might be more tiring days, bad days coming.. But mom can’t help you anymore. I believe that you are a lively and nice child, so I’m passing my role and this letter to you. I know that you might hated me for it, hated me for giving you such a burden, but for you to succeed, I’ll accept it if you were to hated me for it.

For a world like this, you can have the choice to ignore but remember this: “Ignorance, is also a another way of love.”

Jiyong, my son, Hwaiting! Don’t forget that your mom are always supporting you! Giving you moral support! Don’t stop and you must work harder!! I love you, my dear son. – Jiyong’s mom to Jiyong.”


p/s : what GD mom’s means skimpy clothes are the controversial clothes are when during the MNet Choice Awards he wore a shirt that had stickers of “I <3 Sex”, “69″, and “F#ck You Too.” A similar reaction also occurred when he wore a shirt of a bare breasted lady during a live performance not too long ago.

Big Bang’s Next Album Will Be a Full Length Album

With Big Bang’s latest mini album leaving fans wanting more, G-Dragon thinks their next album will a full length one.
Fans of Big Bang were given a treat February 28th when they released their first Korean album in 2 years. The 6 track mini album however left their fans wanting more from the boyband. G-dragon’s announcement should have fans excited though. He recently announced that they would be working on a full length album after their Japanese tour in May.
“After promoting this mini album, we’re going to tour Japan and release another album when we return. I think that’ll be a full length album which we’re thinking of working on with composers from outside YG as well so I think it’ll have a different flavor to it.” G-Dragon stated.
After seeing how important the internet has been in their popularity, especially outside of Korea, G-dragon also promised that take things further through new ways of releasing their music, blogging and other new ways to connect to their fans. This comes after the group found out that the majority of their music videos’ hits have come from outside of Korea in places like the United States and Europe.
“I don’t think we get a lot of hits on YouTube because we’re famous. I rather think it’s that our individual activities such as Taeyang’s solo album or GD&TOP’s duo unit album has stirred curiosity of our music amongst people overseas” commented T.O.P.
Big Bang’s latest mini album has sold over 100,000 units and their new songs have topped all of Korea’s major charts.

Soneta XVII by Pablo Neruda

Spain Version :

No te amo como si fueras rosa de sal, topacio

o flecha de claveles que propagan el fuego:
te amo como se aman ciertas cosas oscuras,
secretamente, entre la sombra y el alma.

Te amo como la planta que no florece y lleva

dentro de sí, escondida, la luz de aquellas flores,
y gracias a tu amor vive oscuro en mi cuerpo
el apretado aroma que ascendió de la tierra.

Te amo sin saber cómo, ni cuándo, ni de dónde,

te amo directamente sin problemas ni orgullo:
así te amo porque no sé amar de otra manera,

sino así de este modo en que no soy ni eres,

tan cerca que tu mano sobre mi pecho es mía,
tan cerca que se cierran tus ojos con mi sueño.

------

English Version

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,

or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off:
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms

but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers,
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.

I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride:
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,

so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

------

Indonesian Version

Aku tidak mencintaimu seolah-olah kau adalah serbuk mawar, atau topaz,

atau panah anyelir yang menyalakan api:
Aku mencintaimu seperti sesuatu dalam kegelapan yang harus dicintai,
secara rahasia, diantara bayangan dan jiwa.

Aku mencintaimu seperti tumbuhan yang tak pernah mekar

tetapi membawa dalam dirinya sendiri cahaya dari bunga-bunga yang tersembunyi,
Terimakasih untuk cintamu layaknya suatu aroma pekat
bermunculan dari dalam bumi, hidup secara gelap di dalam tubuhku.

Aku mencintaimu tanpa tahu bagaimana, atau kapan, atau darimana.

Aku mencintaimu dengan lugas, tanpa masalah, tanpa rasa bangga:
aku mencintaimu seperti ini sebab tak tahu cara lain untuk mencinta

kecuali yang ini, yang tanpa aku dan tanpa kamu,

Begitu dekat sehingga tanganmu di dadaku serasa tanganku,
Begitu dekat sehingga ketika aku tertidur yang terpejam tak lain adalah matamu.
