Meeting New People

So just now, I've just met new friends that's gonna be my friends in university. We made our first gathering today, and today was such a great day. I thought it was going to be awkward and corny, but it turned out to be a little bit awkward but not corny at all. Of course it was awkward, we've never met face to face before, we've only met via line and then that's it. So today marked as our first day knowing each other's faces. I haven't really interact with new friends for like 2 years, ever since I stopped TBI - the English course - I've never really interact with new friends. Thankfully I did not forget how to say hi for the first time to new people.

The problem is, I cannot remember all their names, but I know their faces if I meet them. The way we talked was like:

A: Hi, you're B right?
B: Yes! You must be A.
A: Yeah, Hi...
silence of the lamb
B: Okay shall we take a seat? Where do we seat anyway?
A: Let's find a big space shall we?
B: yeah that's a great idea.
another silence of the lamb while walking towards our seating place
B: So you're from S*** 1 right?
A: Yeah, I am. You're from A***?
B: Yes.

and then that's it. It was like every one of us tried our best to find topics to talk about at first. But after we chatted for a while, we could get used to one another. Well just some pauses between a conversation, thinking what we could say after this. It was a complete awkward for me, every time I paused. I've always got what to to talk about for 2 years, this is finally the first time in 2 years I have to think about what should be talked about. Usually I talked about
"Hey how's your math homework? have you done page 137? Gosh It's so hard to do no. 2a, can you do it?"
or
"Gosh! that physics test was hard as hell, how many number did you finish? 2 of 5? okay at least I could do all."
or
"How many have you got for chemistry test? 57? ooh  me too!!"
or
"Can we go to the mall this Friday? oh yeah, I forgot, we've got revisions to do, okay never mind."

It was all that crazy and same stuffs I always talked about with my school friends. Those were like a daily conversations we had, about test results, lessons, materials we didn't understand, a plan for hanging out, or whether we're going to the chemistry course that day or not. Anyway, my path and my instagram are now full of bunch of new friends. The dark side is, my world is getting smaller. What a day. I do really hope I have more topic to talk about later if I meet them again. They made a great first impression I must say.

For you who have not met your university friends yet, let me tell you a thing: Find as many interesting nowadays topic as you can while there's still a chance. You don't wanna know how awkward a pause between a conversation.

The best Taylor Swift album so far for me. I just love listening to every single songs of this album, it's just amazing. Taylor serves every song with a different feeling and that is amazing. She can move on from one style to another, from the mystical and serious pop "Blank Space" to a catchy pop song "Shake It Off". She can transform her breakup anthem into something else, into a song like you can never imagine. This is her first official pop album btw...and I completely in love with it. This album speaks a thousand words that I have failed to say it, and Taylor can say it all. Oh and btw, this album sold 1,287,000 copies in its first week of release.

I don't really like 1989's album artwork, I can't see Taylor's face, and I think it's too simple for a hit album like this. She needs more powerful artwork, more artistic artwork for a strong album. The artwork is the first thing that customers will see in the store, if the artwork can fascinate them, it will get their attention eventually, and buy it. But that doesn't matter, Taylor could prove that what I'm saying is wrong. Her album spent more than 20 weeks at #1 on Billboard 200, she has spawned 3 #1 singles from this album, with "Blank Space" spent 8 consecutive weeks at the top of Hot 100 chart. It's not easy to do that, there was Ellie Goulding, Ed Sheeran, and also Beyonce and Rihanna, but Taylor did it all. 

This album won her 8 Billboard Music Awards at BBMAs 2015, and she becomes the most winning artist of all the time at BBMAs. Her total wins is 21 trophies, she beats Adele, Rihanna and Mariah Carey. Amazing? of course, I am her fan. She also won Grammy Awards 2016 and also performed her newest single that time "Out of the Woods", she opened the award show with that hit, and it was amazing how she performed and welcomed all the guests.

All the music videos are powerful and great, just like RED's music videos. The only thing makes it different is, that Taylor more mature and brave in every of her music videos. She speaks it all, she sings it all, and most importantly she shakes it off. I recommend every songs to be listened to, all are worth listening, especially all her singles from 1989. She won "Best Touring Artist" at both Billboard Music Awards 2016 and iHeart Music Awards 2016. No wonder, she's now in the top 5 of highest paid artist of 2016. 

See? She can serve multiple style of music and look and fashion in her music videos. My favorite are Blank Space MV, Bad Blood MV and Out of the Woods MV. They are amazing and it must've been very hard to make. Thanks to the director, Joseph Kahn, who directed 6 of 7 music videos from 1989.

And here are some highlights and trademarks of 1989 World Tour. I love her "Welcome to New York" and "New Romantics" outfit. During her 1989 world tour, she had invited many star guests such as: Julia Robert, Ellen Degeneres, Avril Lavigne, Justin Timberlake, Idina Menzel, Cobe Bryant, Sean O'Pry (her "Blank Space" male model), Ellie Goulding, Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham, Karlie Kloss, Kendrick Lamar, Fetty Wap, Charli XCX, and well many more.

That's her winning 8 trophies at 2015 Billboard Music Awards.

Happy downloading and listening to this album readers! You won't regret it!

Hopefully as usual, this article is helpful to my readers. For you who are still in Junior High School in Indonesia, you can make these schools on your list, so you have target to catch. And I don't wanna be a show off, but I am so proud that my school is on the list. Hopefully it can make it on the list again this year.

ATM Skimmer

Do you know that recently ATM Skimmer has been a trending? No? Great, you've come to the right blog. Yesterday I saw another serious ATM Skimmer posted by a guy when he was on vacation to Vienna. I was shocked because that also happened in a country with a high security level. Luckily this guy was paranoid of a thing like this, so he always checks up everything before he let his credit card into the machine. He found something odd on the card reader, there was a dried glue around it.


This is one of the example of it.

and here's another one. They are look alike, but still it's somehow different with the original. You can try to take it off from the machine if you see something suspicious, or else you card will not safe to use anymore. If you realize it after you put your card in, I suggest you to go to the Bank in charge for your card and then just block your account. It would be better that way, rather than those unwanted people dried off your money in your account, right?

Those are top 5 areas that you should take a look at before using the ATM machine. It may take some times, but it's better to set the umbrella before it's raining.

It's crazy how people nowadays try to get money illegally. I know costs of living are now high, but there's gotta be ways to deal with that. If you make money in legal way, no matter how much you make, how little you make, you gotta be proud of it. Believe me, those people who do things such as skimming ATM, will not be as rich as those who make money in legal way. 

So be careful, crimes nowadays are not easily spotted. 

Daily Quotes

I think it's not proper to call it "Quotes of the Day", I mean you can fit more than one quotes in a day. Therefore I change the name into "Daily Quotes". Hope the message that I post everyday can be very helpful and inspirational.

"You're not ready to love, you're not ready to win, you're not ready to see the whole world, you're not even ready to get to the next level whenever you think you are. The only thing that makes you ready is, when you think you're not."
