El Cascabel

A penpal from Texas told me about mariachi, folk music from Mexico. She gave me a link to her favourite version of the song El Cascabel and it now becomes my favourite, too.
Here is the link: Mariachi Vargas - El Cascabel
I like that version. It's so festive that I want to dance when I listen to it.

What Makes It Good?

I watched some old videos by PJ Liguori and I got strange feeling when I watched "A story about a friend". In the video, there are PJ and his friend. The friend is in animated version.
Actually, I don't really catch what PJ says in the video but, only seeing it, I feel a little sad. It's not usual sadness. I just feel like I lose something. I've ever said that when I watch something and I can not only watch but also feel, then it's more than good. And that video is my favourite from KickThePj.

Wayang on the Wall

I got a prompt from the Daily Post. The prompt is like this:

Wall to Wall

What do you display on the walls of your home — photos, posters, artwork, nothing? How do you choose what to display? What mood are you trying to create?

On the walls of my home, there are photos and artworks. We choose what looks good and we don't try to create any specific mood.

Among the artworks, I have two wayang which my cousin gave.

Gatotkaca and Hanoman

Wayang is Indonesian traditional puppet. There are many kinds of wayang. The picture above is an example of Javanese wayang kulit. The story performed in wayang is usually taken from Ramayana or Mahabharata, two famous Indian epics. Some parts and characters in Indonesian version are different to those in Indian version.

Those characters in the picture above are Gatotkaca and Hanoman. I'm going to write about them according to Javanese version. Gatotkaca (also written as Gathutkaca in Javanese version) is Bhima's and Arimbi's son. In Indian version, he's depicted as a rakshasa but in Javanese he's a human. He was thought to be invincible until he's killed by Karna in Bharatayudha. Hanoman (or Hanuman, or Anoman) is the son of Batara Guru and Anjani.

I guess I will write more about wayang in my future post. Now, I'm going to revise anatomy again.

That Song from Jodha Akbar

My family like to watch Jodha Akbar serial. It's an Indian serial about a Mughal emperor and his Rajput wife.

I read an article from India Opines that Jodha Akbar is historically inaccurate. However, there is also an article in the site entitled, "12 Reasons Why We Love Jodha Akbar Serial". The 10th reason in that article is the background music. "In Aankhon Mei Tum" is my mother's personal favourite. She said, "This song is beautiful. I even like it while it's not the type of music I usually listen." 

Anyway, I've just found that song with pictures from Disney's Tangled in YouTube.

Where's the Camera?

I've just changed my WordPress header. There is no camera at the top but instead, you will see this:

I made that cubeecraft long time ago. It was then thrown away after covered with ash due to Mount Kelud eruption in 2014.

Whom I Want to Interview

I join the journalism club in my faculty. I've interviewed some people and written news. For me, interview is more interesting than news writing.

Since my journalism club belongs to the faculty, I mostly interview people from my faculty. However, if I'm given the chance, I want to interview Marianela Núñez or Polina Semionova. Why them? Because I like watching ballet and they're two of my favourite ballet dancers. If you click the link I put on their names in this post, you will see amazing acts and dances. I've watched many good dance but when I watch them, I not only watch but also feel. 

P.S.

In the description of this video, Carlos Acosta's role is Don Quixote but I thought he was Basilio. Can somebody explain to me?
