There is a Lotta Love to Delay the End of the World

Are you guys still alive?
Glad to hear that! LOL!

As we knew before that Mayan has already told us that their calendar stop on December 21st, 2012 and it made a bad signal for the entire world to get ready to face the doom's day. IMO, they need another stones to make a new calendar! LOL!

No one knows, even the angels don't know when the Lord will end this world. So, just make your life better and better because YOLO, baby!

I believe there is still love in every heart to keep this world round around. Even God still has a very big heart for us and we can see God's true love now. You still can breathe, see, touch, etc. And maybe the reason why the world is still exist is because of our mothers' love!

Happy Mother's day to you! Actually on this day, all of Indonesians celebrate the Mother's day. So, yeah we still have time to make a quality time with our beloved Mother. Maybe you already said "Happy Mother's day!" to your Mother but maybe some of you didn't do it at all. It's okay, everybody has their own way to show their love and appreciation. You were born through your Mother and some parts of you were created by your Mother. Affection and love can against the hatred and you can learn that from your Mother. I believe every Mom is a superwoman. So please, take care of your Mother and respect her like you love your God.

I think Alicia Key's song, "Superwoman" is appropriate as the theme song of today!


And check another brand new song from her! It has connection to Mother's day, by the way!




Happy Mother's day and happy holiday!

Blow the Bubble Tea

Jadi, sekarang kebanyak para pembisnis memutuskan untuk membuka usaha dengan cara pendek yaitu, franchise. Dari berbagai merek yang ada, salah satu teman saya memutuskan untuk membuka outlet bubble tea terbaru di Indonesia, khususnya Jakarta dan Tangerang. Georg Peck, bubble tea yang berasal dari Taiwan ini akhirnya pertama kali telah melakukan pembukaan untuk pertama kalinya di Plaza Semanggi pada bulan lalu dan pada tanggal 12 Desember 2012, Georg Peck membuka outlet terbarunya di Alam Sutera Mall.

A : Georg Peck ini berasal dari Taiwan. Didirikan pada tahun 2006 oleh seorang pemuda bernama Ke Zi Kay. Georg Peck awalnya hanya menjual 'smoothie drinks' karena Ke Zi Kay sendiri melakukan penelitian bahwa pekerja dari negara barat dan Amerika saja mengkonsumsi minuman seperti itu sebagai sarapan sehat mereka di pagi hari, siang hari ataupun malam. Pada tahun 2006 beliau mendirikan toko pertamanya di jalan Nanyang, Fengyuan District Taichung City dan semakin berkembangnya bisnis ini, Georg Peck menjadi salah satu bisnis minuman franchise tercepat yang berkembang di Taiwan.

Kami menyediakan Fresh Juice Ice Blended, Coffee Ice Blended, Smootie Drinks yang mana buah-buah yang kami pakai itu sangat bagus kualitasnya. Anda akan selalu puas dengan minuman kami :)



Q: Apa slogan dari Georg Peck? Apakah memiliki arti tertentu?
A: Slogan kami adalah "Let's Cheers" dimana kami ingin setiap orang yang menikmati minuman kami merasakan kebersamaan.

Q: Apa yang membuat Anda yakin bahwa Gerog Peck dapat diterima oleh warga Indonesia?
A: kami yakin masyarakat Indonesia dapat menerima kehadiran Georg Peck. Orang Indonesia sangat suka mencoba sesuatu yang baru, GP menyediakan minuman yang berbeda dan rasa yang membuat orang ingin lagi meminumanya.

Q: Strategi promosi apa yang Anda buat untuk menarik calon pelanggan?
A: Strategi promosi kami adalah dengan sistem Buy 1 Get 1 pada saat pembukaan di Plaza Semanggi minggu lalu lalu memberikan promosi lagi seperti Buy 2 Get 1

Q: Apakah ada rencana untuk membuka outlet di luar pulau Jawa?
A: Kami belum memiliki rencana untuk membuka outlet di luar pulau Jawa. Mungkin kami akan fokus dulu di dalam  terlebih dulu.

Q: Apa harapan Anda kepada Georg Peck untuk kedepannya?
A:  Harapan kami untuk Georg Peck ke depannya tentu agar Georg Peck dapat berkembang sukses di Indonesia dan di tempat lain juga.


Bagi saya, Georg Peck adalah bubble tea yang berbeda dengan berbagai menu yang beragam dan memiliki rasa yang unik. Terlebih lagi, mereka menyediakan menu kopi yang turut meramaikan dan cocok bagi kalian yang menyukai kopi. Selamat mencoba!





Let's cheers!!!

Agnes Monica: I'm Young but I'm Right (Part 5)


She Won’t Stop




Big news comes from Agnes Monica and it’s from one of the biggest music awards for Asian, The MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards). Nez got a special award for the Best Asian Artist. The award itself is pure from the judges because it is a special award and not counts from vote, like the other nominees. The MAMA was held in Hong Kong and attended by various Asian artists. Rumor has it that they will hold MAMA in Indonesia especially Jakarta, next year.


Agnezmo


Nez finally released her EPK (Electronic Press Kit) officially to her new website; www.agnezmo.com, just not long after an incident of the leaked video teaser before. In the video, there are some of her photo shoot activities and we can hear some parts of her brand new and catchy international song.



It’s Only the Beginning


"I'm young but I know what I'm talking about!" @agnezmo




On December 2, 2012, Agnes revealed that she is the part of the young delegates to participate in one of the United Nations’ events for young people. The event itself is called ICPD (International Conference on Population Development) – Global Youth Forum, under UNFPA (United Nations Population Fund) and held in Nusa Dua, Bali, Indonesia on October 4 – 6, 2012. Nez had the opportunity as the host and gave her speech about her journey to dream, believe and make it happen. Nez was not alone because Timbaland was alongside her and they had made the theme song for that event. For the very first time, Agnes and Timbaland were in one stage and sang the theme song together in front of nearly a thousand invitations and delegates. The song to motivate young people to make the better world called “Show a Little Love”.  Unfortunately we can’t hear the song until the official launching in Grammy’s week in February 2013. Hopefully, Agnes Monica and Timbaland will sing the song for one more time in that big event and the world can hear it.

Agnes Monica: I'm Young but I'm Right (Part 4)


MUDA



Finally Agnes released her latest single “Muda (Le O Le o)” and it’s officialy relesead on November 9, 2012 and the song itself talked about the struggle of someone to catch his/her dream but it’s never been easy. The song is so inspiring with the touch of Agnes’ hands as the composer.



Agnes in my eyes...



I have to say that I am a big fan of Agnes Monica. I recognized her when she played in “PernikahanDini”, even before that, actually I watched “Tralala – Trilili” but I didn’t really pay attention because I was still a kid. I used to dance whenever I watched the opening of “Pernikahan Dini” because it was an upbeat song and Agnes was dancing with big curly wig. Then I started to watch every of her sinetron, like; Amanda, Cewekku Jutek, Ku T’lah Jatuh Cinta, etc. I truly remembered that I realized that I had a talent in dancing when I watched “BukanMilikmuLagi”. I followed they she danced with her dancers and I was still a mess. Then finally I really danced for Art’s subject when I was in Junior High School with “Tak Ada Logika” and they just loved to watch me, and it made me more believe with my dancing talent. After that, I danced again for one more time when I was in Senior High School with “GodaiAkuLagi” (remix version). I also bought Agnes’ albums, such as; “Whaddup A!?”, “Sacredly Agnezious” (which I lost it) and “Agnes is My Name”. I watched Agnes’ performance for the very first time was at Emporium Mall (2011), when the mall celebrated their second anniversary and invited Agnes to perform. It was an amazing experience because I could she her right in front of my eyes, and yes, she always all out and beautiful. The second was when she launched “Agnes is My Name” in KFC Kemang. The third was when Central Park Mall invited her to perform in Christmas’ event. The fourth, when she performed in Pekan Raya Jakarta 2012 (PRJ). Next when she performed for “Launching of Honda Brio”, then “Love, Life and Music” in ANTV. And the last was in Trans TV when she performed for her special event “Agnes: Coz We Believe”. Besides, I have met and watched the other event of her, such as; “Indonesian Idol 2010: Fantastic Four”, and her speech event for “Dream, Believe and Make it Happen!” at At America, Pacific Place. Agnes has changed my life. I was the ordinary one, but now I have a bravery to dream about my future and make it happen, no matter what I’m going to face. Her principle; “Dream, Believe and Make it Happen” is very great to live life to the fullest. She never forgets her God and she always proud of her family especially her Mom and always says thanks to her (die hard) fans. She has 100% dedication for her life to be the best artist and never get tired to practice and make it perfect. She doesn’t have time to take care for them who hate and mock her. Because she knows that they will never walk in front her and that is why they always left behind. Agnes is a strong woman and proved that there is a miracle inside every dream.  I want to be like her, even more like her and ready to face those things and always keep my faith.
