I'm So Excited and I Just Can't Hide It

First of all, yes the title of the post comes from an 80's song by the Pointer Sisters. AND YES, I chose that as the title because right now I'm super happy!!!

So, I just had a really wonderful Saturday night... NOT with my boyfriend (cause my boyfriend is so far away in US *cough* Phillip Phillips) or friends but with my family. I know it sounds lame but it's not. It's weird right, I'm freaking 16 but I still enjoy hanging out with fam. Is it even normal? Maybe it's not, but who wants to be normal anyway?

BY THE WAY

We went to Cilandak Town Square and I bought (actually, my dad bought me) these really cool stuffs. Guess what are they?

1. Glam Nation Live CD/DVD

I know right. I know right. I KNOW RIGHT. I BOUGHT ADAM FREAKING LAMBERT'S GLAM NATION LIVE CD/DVD. So now I'm able to watch his sexiness ANYTIME I WANT. This thing is super rare in Indonesia so I was reallyyyy surprised when I found it at the music store. And it's the only one left!!! The name of the music store is Beatz! and I think that store is really awesome. It sold rare things so if you are looking for any CD or concert DVD or whatever, I recommend you to go there!
It takes a lot of considerations for me to ask my dad to buy me this thing though. Cause you know, it's Adam Lambert, the controversial guy. But I know if I didn't buy it, I would regret it for life. So I was just like "I want to buy this, dad" and I gave it to the cashier and I don't think he was really aware of what I chose so he was just like "ok". Then my mom asked me "what did you buy?" and I was like "Adam Lambert's DVD, since I won't be able to watch him in Bali" and she's like "oh.". Besides, now I'm on my way of turning my mom  into a Glambert though. And now she's shouting "whataya want from me!!!" every once in a while so I guess it's a good sign? Idk JUST WISH ME LUCK.


2. Secrets of Macarons

This book is all about my current favorite thing...macarons! I just love macarons so much, too bad it's kinda expensive for a little cookie like that. So I'm planning to learn how to make one myself! For those of you who haven't tried macarons, well you should! But I only recommend it for you guys who have sweet tooth cause trust me, it's really sweet.
I really like the store where this book is sold. Idk, there's just something about the atmosphere. It's really peaceful and they played this cool indie music. If I'm not mistaken the name is Aksara. Oh! And one of the cashiers at the store is SUPER cute. So I'm really looking forward to go back to this store HAHA.

I wish everyday was like today :')

Without Love

SOOOO GUYS! A few days ago, I watched this musical movie called Hairspray. Yes this is the movie that starred Zac Efron as one of the casts. This is a 2007 movie......so I know I'm super late watching this in 2012. And now I think I'm obsessed with the soundtrack. Especially this one cute song titled Without Love.

This is the scene where the casts sang the song:


It's sooo cute right. I really love how in the end the famous guy falls for the fat girl. Also, the love story between the black guy & white girl (Seaweed & Penny) is super sweet too. Zac Efron is so funny in this. It makes me kinda love him more. I know he looks super geeky with that hairstyle...but he's still cute. Oh! And I think Amanda Bynes' voice is really sweet. I didn't know she can sing, but yes she can.

Watching this movie makes me want to see the Broadway production of Hairspray Musical. I'm sure it will be even more fun to hear the song performed live and all! I know the casts are different, but it doesn't matter. Well, I think I should add that to the list of things I should do in life! :D

Ps: this is my 50th post so YEAY!!!

A Little Too Not Over You

Life of a Glambert

Before I start, for those of you who don't know, a Glambert is what an Adam Lambert's fan is called. I guess the name comes from glam and Lambert. Why glam? Well, because Adam is our Glam God. Glamberts and Adam have one big family that we called as Glamily. The genre of Adam Lambert's songs are Glam rock. And when Adam dressed up as a vampire we called him a Glampire. So yeah it's all about glam.

Well if my definitions are not understandable, this is one from Urban Dictionary:

GLAMBERT
	The official term for a devoted fan of the glamourous sexiness that is Adam Lambert, Season 8 Runner Up for American Idol.

I have become a Glambert for a very long time. But I started to have this deep connection with Adam a few months ago, precisely the first time I heard some songs from his 2nd album, Trespassing. I don't know why, but these songs are like magic to me. They always make me feel happier when I'm down. I know this sounds ridiculous but that's the truth lol. I started looking for his interviews on Youtube and I realized that he's not only talented and good looking but he's also a very beautiful human being. No matter how tired he is or how annoying the interviewer is, he always answers the questions nicely and honestly. With him, there is NO awkward or bad interviews. By these interviews, I learned more things about him. I also watched his life documentaries, live performances (my favorites were the ones when he sang with Queen, which is pretty legendary), and I can't help to fall deeper and deeper with him. At first I keep my adoration towards him by myself but what's the point of being a Glambert if you're afraid to express yourself? So I started to tell my close friends about it.

But as glamorous as it is, I realized that being a Glambert is not always easy. It's hard at times. I  have to deal with ignorant people talking REAL BAD about him only because of his sexual orientation. What hurts me the most is not the mockery, but knowing that Adam is a very nice person and he doesn't deserve that at all. I mean, I cannot force anyone to support equality, but there's SO MUCH MORE to Adam Lambert than just who he chooses to sleep with. It's okay if you want to judge Adam. Judge his music, judge his style. Judge him as a singer NOT as the "gay guy" . His personal life is none of your business, none of OUR business. I swear that those people who talked trashy things about him don't even know him well. Have they ever seen his "It Gets Better" video or read the lyrics of his song, Aftermath? NO.
Whatever. Just like Adam said, I should only pay attention to the positives. :')

But seriously, my sorrow doesn't only stop here. Now I have to deal with another problem of being a Glambert. This time is because of my financial condition. So, last Saturday I got a news telling that Adam will visit Indonesia this December and he will perform exactly on New Year's Eve. I WAS SO HAPPY until I found out that he won't come to Jakarta, but to Bali. At that point I was still optimistic. "I can afford to go to Bali with my savings", I tell myself. BUT THEN I found out that the ticket prices are so crazy. The cheapest one is $538. This is so crazy. I'm just a regular student and I surely cannot afford that. I wanted to cry so bad. I just don't like it when I want something so bad but I can't afford to get it. I know I can't always get what I want but I know I deserve to watch Adam.

Now all I can do is just to pray for some miracles and stare at the picture above every once in a while :(

Wow this post is longer than I intended it to be. And I poured a LOT of emotions, I'm telling you. Anyway, no matter how hard being a Glambert is, I will always stand by Adam and support him till the very end. Haters will hate, if they cannot see the good in Adam, it's their loss! :D



 




BYE GUYS!
