Biweekly Playlist

Hello darlings, I'm going to share my music playlist fortnightly. I was planning to share my playlist on weekly basis but I tend to listen my current favourite song(s) on repeat mode for a while for more than a week. 

I love music and I want to remember the songs I love, so future me can easily find the song title. The songs I'm going to share not necessarily new released songs, they could be from last year or 5 years ago or even 30 years ago. I just listen to songs I'm attracted to. Not only listing the songs that I am currently listening to, I also will describe the reason why if there's any. 

So without further ado, here's my music playlist:

Northern Lights (Satin Jackets, David Harks) - my recently deceased friend Maliki introduced this song to me and my husband a few years back. This was after he attended Satin Jackets' dj set at Kudeta Bali and took a photo together. I fell in love with the song immediately and this week I go back listening to this song because this song brings happy memories with Maliki. Rest in Peace, Mal. 

Nirwana (Adikara Fardy) - I'm a fan of Adikara's voice and this song has soothing melodies. 

Try a Little Tenderness (Pip Millett) 

Vibin (Ylona Garcia)

Kill Bill (SZA)

Feather (Sabrina Carpenter)

Switch to Me (Rain & JYP)

I Like You - A Happier Song (Post Malone feat Doja Cat)

Tuhan Selalu Menolongku (Putri Ayu) - whenever I feel down, this song makes me brave. 

Bapa Engkau Sungguh Baik (Putri Siagian) - to remind me to always be grateful. 

Be Real - Rasmus Faber, Metaxas

Jewelz - Anderson .Paak

That's all for now! We'll see if there'll be new songs I'd be listening constantly in the next two weeks time. Toodles! 

Fabulous Friday Finds

via Vim and Vintage

A lot has happened in 2013.

Just to name a few: my husband finished his flying school, my husky Lowy's eye worsened due to glaucoma, my dear aunt Lientje Worang Sakaguchi passed away, went traveling to Singapore (again and again) and to Japan, Jonah got his dream job (as a pilot of course) at our flag-carrier national airline, ran my first 5K with Jonah and that I've also grown a lot as a person and more confident than ever of who I am; that I am deeply loved by Jesus. 

Basically there is a lot more to write here and I seriously could turn this into a very long post - but needless to say the year 2013 was unforgettable and life-changing. I know Jonah and I are on the right track and that Jesus holds our future. I learn to take each day at a time and not let tomorrow's worry rob me of today's peace and joy. 

So without further ado, here's some lovely things I found to share with you the first time this year. May  lovely things keep on coming to us all.

IU - The Red Shoes

She's one of my favorite K-Pop Singers and I especially love her new album Modern Times. Words can't describe how amazing this album is, it encompasses an eclectic mix of my favorite genres: Swing Jazz, Bossanova, Latin Pop, etc. In other words, just my kind of music. 

PS: Here's the music video of her first single, "The Red Shoes", it's a rather long music video. Just a hint for you: the music starts at 01:04. Enjoy! 

RIP Whitney Houston

This is how I will remember her... 

PS: This is my favorite Whitney Houston song.

Don't Look Back - She and Him

Prepare for my favorite She & Him music video. Don't get me wrong, I love ALL She & Him music videos, but if I had to pick one, I say: Don't Look Back music video. It's so great!

Everything I love is in it.. Zooey's dresses, so 60s. Zooey looks so adorable and cute.  The decoration so 60s. The dancing 60s. Everything is so 60s!! Nice concept and very aesthetically pleasing. I like.

Without further ado, please welcome She & Him's newest music videos.
