Heart-Mind, Grateful, and Peace

In this world, more people life means more opinion, definitely about "peace". Some people argue that peace is some kind about love, friends, and no war. But in my opinion, peace not just kind of that, not just when you fall in love, or when you feels comfortable with someone or some places. The meaning is more than that, because peace is... when you can be grateful of what you have now.

Like quote says "you never know what you have until you lose it". If you can't be grateful of what you have now, you never enjoy your life, you never feels comfort of anything around you. You always feels something in your mind isn't fulfill yet. And definitely you will pursue your ambition no matter what would happen at the next time. And when you reach your ambition, you will have another ambitions and also, another problems. It's like a cycle, and you'll trapped on that.

But there is one way to get out of that cycle, and that is... Be a grateful person. Be grateful of your abilities, be grateful of your agility, and be grateful of your things that you have. Many peoples out there can't feel what you feels, can't be able to do something what you can do, and can't have something what you have.
Even some peoples already lost all of what they have in the past.

But be a grateful person isn't like easy as we can pronounce in our mouth, it will be hard if we not start it with our heart and mind, yes, heart and mind is the key. With heart and mind, you can feels the positive energy flew in your blood and the positive energy will bring you to smile, happiness , and peace.

At the point, you have to use you heart and mind as a key, be grateful, and then you'll found what the real peace is.

"You didn't have to find peace in out there, because peace is always stay in your heart and your mind"

Are You a Good Leader?

Everybody has his own opinion about "a good leader", and now i will share you about my opinion.

A good leader should had some characteristics.

First, a good leader should know his strength and his weakness. Whenever someone can't knowing their self in good, they can't do what should he/she have to do, they didn't know how the best way to fix a problem even their own problems. And usually, the people like that is always stay quite in the fear, fear of being wrong, it is like "i didn't know what i have to do, so i prefer to be quite rather than i wrong". That's no problem but.. You have to try even it just a little bit, like a song lyrics "if you never try, you'll never know" - fix you by coldplay. Haha i love that song.

Second, a good leader should be able to read a situation perfectly. In a situation, definitely there is problems (how big or small that, it depends on how someone can solve it). And just some special people can solve those problems, yeah and that is who can read the situation perfectly. Someone who can do that, he/she had a potential to become a good leader, they can see the best way to solve problems and know what he /she have to do. They can think clearly, give the best solution for all, and do what he/she says before with good when the others was panic. 

And the last, a good leader should know and be brave to take the consequences of what he or she do. Just like what i said, there are many problem in many situation. To think the consequences of what all we have done, its difficult. You should consider all of possibilities and the obstacles. Not even that, you must approximating the impact for short and long, for the others, and of course for your self. And the most important is you have to be brave to take the consequences. Well, brave in this context is positive ok.

At the point , we should knowing our self in good, our strength and weakness, can able to read a situation perfectly, and be brave to take the consequences of what we have done to be a good leader. 

"A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way" -John C.Maxwell 

Arromanis

I have interviewed someone a few days ago, she is an entrepreneur under 30 that can be categorized success, and.. here she is! 

The center one is Armita Sunaryo

Her name is Armita Sunaryo , she studied at kriya textile school of ITB and now, she has an own corner store at Jl. Wira angun-angun, Bandung. And the name of the store is Arromanis. Here below the result of interview about Arimita and her business!

When Arromanis corner store begin?

Actually Arromanis has been establised since 2011, but I recently plunge into the “cupcakes world” in 2014. In detail, when I was holiday in New York City at september 2011, that day was my bestfriend brithday, and I’m trying to bake some cupcakes from ingridients in New York, and you know? It’s success! Everybody likes my own cupcakes, include the british.. and that’s the reason why I began to bake this cupcakes.  

Why you choose this sector?  Why not the other?

Actually plunge into the “cupcakes world” was an accident. At the past, I was exposed to the disease of hepatitis A, and I extremely should eat very sweet food or drink. Because of that, my parents and my friends took me some cakes like Black forest cake and Tart. But surely I didn’t like a chocolate or anything like that. Finally, I drink very sweet tea. I remember 2011 is the year of red velvet, just to amuse, I’m googling about red velvet. Directly I want that cupcake, but how can I get that cupcake? Because the cupcake just available in Jakarta, and I think, in Bandung there’s nothing  store that selling a red velvet cupcake. And.. from this accident I decided to plunge into the “cupcakes world”

  

Why you choose “Arromanis” as the name of your store?

At the first time, that was so hard to get the name. Because to found a name in bahasa that agree with the style of my cupcake isn’t easy like eat. I begin with my own name “Armita”, but then I get an idea to pick a name of cotton candy (in bahasa is : Arromanis), I think Arromanis is like the top of my cupcake. 

  

Did you had any problems at this whole time? Like a rival maybe?

Until now, Alhamdulillah I never had a problem. If rival is exactly have but I think they’re just like a friends to me. If he or she sell something like me, just “come on! We go forward together” . 

How much cost that we have to pay for?

It depends on your order, like cake, or cake pops, and many more. But mostly prices is between 9k-10k rupiahs.

Did you ever have lose out?

Nope, I never lose out till now Alhamdulillah

I’m so sorry before, but can I know how much you can gain every month?

Hmm.. about 1000k until 1500k rupiahs per month

Did you have a plan for the future Arromanis?

Actually I want to open a new outlet, but with different theme. It’s like a healthy dessert or another.

What are your dreams?

Rotate for business again and at the same time I want to developing the store of cupcake in Bandung. Maybe in fashion too because I have a passion at those two. And actually in this case, culinary and fashion is a business  that never going to the end in the human life.

Song facts : Taylor Swift - Blank Space

Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?

New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no

Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name 

 

Did you know the popular track off '1989' started out as a complete joke? Keep reading to find out more!

WhoSay is thrilled to partner with one of the most vibrant Taylor Swift fan communities in the world, TT4Taylor. This week TT4Taylor's editor, Jencita Vargas, gives Swifties the true story behind Swift's new single "Blank Space" off of '1989.' 

VIDEO: Taylor Swift Talks About 'Blank Space'

"Blank Space" isn't your typical T Swift song. If you know nothing about the background of the song, you might think it a bit strange. But like every great song, there is a great story. Swift says the song started out as a complete joke:

I think as a song writer you have to be pretty well aware of who you are as a person, then I think you also have to have one eye on what people think of you. What the general perception is of you out in the world. In the last couple years I've noticed there's been a pretty sensational fictionalization of my personal life. To the point where it's sort of like 'Wow, that too?' They've kind of drawn up this profile of this girl who is a serial dater, jet setting around with all her boyfriends, she can get 'em but she can't keep 'em because she's too emotional and she's needy. Then she gets her heart broken because they leave and she's jilted so she goes to her evil liar and writes songs about it for revenge. 

Swift was recently on The View and she said something that stuck out to me. "It’s our human instinct to try and defend yourself when people have the wrong impression of you," she admitted. 

How true that is, and often times defending yourself does more bad than good. People are going to believe what they decide they want to believe, whether there's truth to it or not. Sometimes you just gotta roll with the punches and that's exactly what Swift has done with "Blank Space." 

One thing Swift loves to do is put secret messages in the lyric notes of her album. For each song she types the lyrics in lower cases letters, but throughout the song there will be spontaneous capitalized letters. If you put them all together they will form a message. The secret message in "Blank Space" is "There once was a girl known by everyone and no one."

Swift capitalizes on this idea of never talking about her personal life, but revealing what happened through song. Blank Space is a completely different venture for Swift as she takes on this persona of how the media portrays her, instead of what her life actually is like. 

Taylor Swift Tackles Rumors Head On in 'Blank Space'

A key line in the song "Ain't it funny rumors fly, And I know you heard about me," gives us a glimpse into what it's like to be miss Swift, but it's also very relatable to the average person. Many of us have heard things about others and ourselves that aren't true. The art of a Taylor Swift song comes from being able to take personal experiences and having them translate into the lives of millions of other people. This is the reason Swift can still sell over a million copies of her album the first week and why all of her concerts sell out. She knows how to connect to people's emotions. Although we haven't lived out Swift's love life or dealt with the scrutiny she has, we can still relate to the emotions and experiences she has gone through, making her high profile romances just as ordinary as the rest of us!

Swift isn't looking for romance, she's happy to have found herself and a wonderful group of girlfriends. She told People: 

It would take an astonishing human for me to even consider getting back into a relationship. It would take a really, really, really, really, different—kind of one in 1 million person to kind of face all that. I don’t have any kind of idea who I want to be with, because I don’t have any pieces missing from my life right now. I’m not looking for anything to complete. I think that’s a nice place to be. I’m not going to compromise the happiness and independence that I found just for just anybody.

What do you think of the story behind "Blank Space"?

Review

This movie is about friendship between a girl named Rosie Dunne (cast by Lily Collins) and a boy named Alex Stewart (cast by Sam Claflin). Their friendship built because they was  neighbouring to each other, and their friendship start from their old was 6. They’re usually play together, listen music, etc. one of their habit is roll the globe with closed eyes and then they’re tap  the globe and see what they choose. At Rosie’s 18th   birthday party, Rosie and Alex dance together, but at the last they’re have a kiss—until Rosie fall down. But most of which she too drunk to remember that.And it’s just the beginning.

One day, their school held a party. But Rosie came with Greg who is the fittest guy in those year, and absolutely Alex go with Bethany. At the party, some accident was happen, a big accident. 9 months later, baby named Katie was born. No father, just mother, yes single parents. Cause that, Rosie’s dreams for study at Boston College was gone. Long time later, Alex knows that from Bethany. And actually that problem was doesn’t matter, their life was still not changed. Party? Yes, dinner? Yes, kidding? Yes, and all of the other funny activities still at the same. But again and again, trouble came from the other side. Their friendship was in alert. And you know? At the last, they can handle that and become a husband-wife relationship or yap getting married.

I know this movie was too mainstream, absolutely the movie’s way. But what makes this movie should watched by us? Cause the unique is when they’re wants each other but that feelings can’t , because they think they are in friends relationship. But it was wrong.  

I think that’s all about Love, Rosie. Ok see you at the next time!

Trailer Love, Rosie. Please enjoy it!
