Kuala Lumpur (Veve's B'day Nov '12)

So the girls are back! Hitting KL City again, this time for Veve's 125th b'day! Woot woot! It was a lot of fun, kinda like amazing race to be exact. why? Ok so here's the story. Day 1, Nov 24th '12 Veve and I went to the airport 5am, had breakfast, then flew to KL. Where Risa was meeting us at KLCC airport coz she flew from Singapore after Sigur ros concert the night before. We got there, checked in with the help of Ean Hitz, we checked in to Impiana. Drop the luggages, walked down town, had some culinary fest for ourselves where i ate nasi briyani and the indian food, gosh dayum it was soooo gooodd!!! lol. Never had indian food that good in Jtown. Then went back to the hotel, wanted to take a nap but didn't, we ended up watching Malay's sinetron. lol hillaaarious! Then by afternoon, Nana Era and Simba and his gf picked us up, we were preparing for Veve's bday surprise. We got to syah alam (yeah, suburb area thanks to D'masiv band's hotel), had dinner where the boys from D'Masiv came and sang for her as a surprise. Veve was extatic! Priceless! Then we went downtown, to Library, Shac Era and his friends came and join, then we just had some awesome moment i might not able to write here. hahahaha... went back to the hotel at 5 am. I had too much to drink. Day 2, Nov 25th '12 Slept all frikken day. But dinner time, simba, shac, etc picked us up. karaoke niteee! The thing is we were gonna have 7am flight the day after, and we forgot all about it. so karaoke finished at 4am, went to the hotel just to grab the luggages, then airport!!! andddd... we ... missed .. our ...flight! LMAO!!! Imagine the hangover while trying to catch the next flight was .... awesome. We managed though... Day 3, Nov 26th '12 Landed in Jtown, Veve and I took a cab while Risa rode an ojek straight to the studio. Her show starts at 1, it was already 12! I got home then went straight to Depok, i got a presentation in my class later in the eveneing, while veve went home then back to airport coz she had to host in Surabaya in the evening. There goes our hangover amazing race days! It was fun!

(Recap Posts) Last Episode of Radio Show TV One

Radio Show TV One memang udah selesai, tapi gue belum sempet ngomong apapun soal ini. Being part of the history of indie music show in Indonesia i am actually really proud. Awalnya manager gue, Mike nelfon di suatu hari di bulan Juni, katanya orang TV One ada yang mau nyari host buat Radio SHow. kebetulan gue sama Caesar Gunawan lagi ngehost untuk Liga Spanyol dan slotnya muncul di Radio Show malem itu. Selang seminggu, dipanggilah gue untuk meeting dan syuting Radio Show episode pertama barengan sama Kang Sandy Pass Band. Then the rest is just history … it was a show where i can be myself, with music that i love. Apalagi berani banget nih naikin musik-musik yang nggak mainstream. Mulai dari geng potlot, Beatles Night, Mocca, dan band-band indie dari berbagai daerah di Indonesia manggung disini. Sayangnya keseruan harus berakhir tanggal 14 Oktober kemaren, semua host dikumpulin untuk shooting episode terkahir Radio Show. Dari Kang Sandy, Jimmy Upstairs, Buluk Superglad, R.Djangkaru, Anita Mae, Dennie Sakrie, etc ngumpul untuk ‘rusuh’ terakhir kalinya. Begitu selesai, gue pulang bareng Djangkaru, yang bilang ‘Okee Cher, besok kita move on…’ I guess thats what life is all about. Everything, they come and they go. Moving on from a great family that i've been a part of for quite a while, seems a bit surreal. But having the whole crazy memories, (especially the birthday surprise on the show) is one thing i could never forget! Tapi twitter yang masuk ke gue nggak berenti-berenti, pake hashtag #Saveradioshowtvone pula. jadi terharu kan hehehe… but thank you to all the hosts, the team yang udah ngasih kesempatan untuk jadi bagian dari sejarah musik Indonesia, dan semua penonton setia. Semoga musik Indonesia tetap jaya! Cheryl Marella.

My Last episode

My first episode www.mypsychodelicmind.wordpress.com and www.cherylmarella.tumblr.com

The Word...Love

I've been telling myself that i do not wanna fall in love, or all sort of, because i can't afford a brokenhearted feeling. Those feelings when you feel like you are breathing fire every time you inhale and exhale that so called oxygen. But it's not life if you can plan everything as you wished right? Some people i've let go in the past, are back in the present. I am not too sure what for. But that tickles a bit of my fancy. There has to be an answer to this, only not right now. Maybe i just need a little patient. And let things flow. Because who knew, somebody actually drew a smile back to my face. :) www.mypsychodelicmind.wordpress.com and www.cherylmarella.tumblr.com

Went nutz with the cousin in Holland...again

So, i went back to see the family in Holland again this year. My cousin Dennis text me on my arrival day saying 'i'm taking you out clubbing tonight?' (please take note that i had just arrived from an 18 hours long of flight) hahaha he didn't take no for an answer. So we met at Sciphol Airport. It felt good to finally reunited. And he sent an email to Amsterdam Supper Club. They had this 'Monday Party', he said on his email 'My friend from a huge radio station in Jakarta arrived today, and she's gonna write about this party, so invite us!' (Which they did, and which is why i'm writing this down now) ...the party was great, the DJs were awesome. On top of all we went out breaking the rules...lol..hey don't judge, it's legal to be high in Holland...it's the survival kit for the country is way down under the sea, gotta get high to stay alive they say! (That's the DJ we emailed) www.mypsychodelicmind.wordpress.com and www.cherylmarella.tumblr.com www.cherylmarella.blogdetik.com

The Italy Trip as a Gladiator, The Vatican and The Tourist

So this is one of the best trip ever. believe it or not, the partner in crimes were my parents. Ain't they awesome! We flew with Easy Jet from Amsterdam (it's one of the budget airlines, and i loved it, very recommended), landed in Rome and started exploring. One thing i realized about Italy is: NO BODY IS UGLY! EVERYONE'S HOT! Oh my goodness! hahahaha! Next destination was the Vatican. Went to see the pope. Oh and by the way, every where in Rome is all about AS ROMA the football club. I was hoping i bumped into Totti! hahahaha And the last was Venice. It was a wonderful sight being there. Amazing journey and my parents are the best travelers! www.mypsychodelicmind.wordpress.com and www.cherylmarella.tumblr.com >

Growing Up not Down.

They say people change, i think it's more than just true. I remember when i was way younger i used to think Pink is a great color. But now I think red and black are the best color. But that's just a philosophy. Pink is a bright and soft color, I was a kid, nothing had touched or hurt me yet. Come to this timeline, where i've been through a lot, things had changed, love, trust, loss, life, death and everything in between made me who I am now. I have no other option but to stay strong. It's either fight or defeated. SO i guess being defeated is never been my option.

Growing up means i have to accept flaws and fix it. Not just the flaws of people around me, but most of all, my own flaws. It means I also have to find way coping with loss, betrayal (this is way harder if it came from the people you trust the most), broken heart, and how to get back up after you fell hard.

But I guess the school we are in, which is this world, teaches us to be either a fighter or a loser. And for damn sure i wont be a loser. I will never gonna live in denial, If i love or hate something I will say it. I wont be fooling myself with bullshits, and if other people can't handle this, then good, i'll know which one is worth fighting for, which assholes i need to just drop it like its hawt. lol

all and all my friends, life is a lesson. If you cant change a situation, change the way you look at it and be fine. Coz whatever it is, if it didn't happen, then it's not meant to happened, move on.

luv,
cee
