I admitted that I am a big fans of A Capella song. I found it is amazing how ordinary song turns into extraordinary when it is sung in a capella. You are not only hear the melody also the cherish, coordination and teamwork spirit. One of my favorite a capella group is Pentatonix and I have three favorite songs of them which I will explain in following.

Pentatonix is the group that won the third season of The Sing-Off on NBC in 2011. Furthermore, their debut EP, PTX Vol. 1 (2012), charted at #14 on the Billboard 200 and their second release, PTX Vol. 2 (2013). Pentatonix, is named after the pentatonic scale, a musical scale or mode with five notes per octave. The group believed that the scale's five notes matched their membership. They replaced the last letter with an x to make it more appealing.The quintet derives its influences from pop, dubstep, electro, reggae, and hip-hop.

There are three song that I really love to put on my iphone playlist. First, a mash up- cover song : Save The Night/ Don't Worry Child. They really good at this song. Everytime I hear this songs makes me want to sing along and dancing. I feel free spirit and teawork. I choose this song everytime I go to my English class after work. It gives me  positive feeling and jazz up the rest of my day. Second,  a cover version of Somebody That I Used To Know, I never get bored with this song. It brings me dramatic feeling at the best way. The last is We Are young. Who doesn't love this youthful anthem? They did bring the joy and cherish through this song.

Have you ever listen their song? I suggest you listen from my list, I guarantee you may fall in their works.

I used to forget that I had talent in drawing. I had buried my dream as illustrator a long time ago. Simply because of my parents and my surrounding is not support me to develop my talent. While other parents took their child to have class in art and drawing , I just simply learn  by autodidact. Whenever I found that some picture is interesting, I try to imitate by my very own way. My parents do not have enough money to facilitate my talent. In my school, I were not allow to attend school competition because I don't have informal education in drawing furthermore I do not have money to buy the form.

My first page of  alphabet project
This talent are inherited from my grandfather. He is a talented painter. He had left us about 20 paintings as his works. Some of  his paint were sold at high price and others are keep on my attics.

I believe talent has just need to be discovered. Fortunately it did not happen in my case. So I grew up with the talents of drawing left abandoned somewhere. Did I regret it? yes I do. I did not try harder to keep my dream and my talent and besides I can't go back and spend all my time to studying about my passion in drawing. All i can do is saving a little money to buy some books about drawing.

I found that the drawing talent that I had left them has just come back when I were pregnant of my daughter. I spend my time by drawing a cute picture of animal. Every animal is represent the first letter of their names.It's my project to list letter and introduce some animals to my daughter. I believe I could not beat up my destiny to develop my talents and passion in drawing. If it is too late to develop, still I could pass my knowledge in drawing to my daughter. I can teach her to draw and encourage he to chase her dream and develop her talents. I'm not going to force her to develep talent in drawing if she do not have interest in there.

I like when I post some picture of my project were liked by some strangers that had come and pass by to my instagram. They are encourage me draw more. I try to develop my talents everyday , this is just the way I grateful to Gods of His kindness.

Do you ever got a talent that you have not recognize it? Is it too late to develop it?

Sweet Corner In Home

Housing seems to be a biggest problem for people in Indonesia at the age of 26 unless they are given by their parent.  It's not easy to buy a house especially in the capital city like Jakarta, they often buy in satellite city like Bogor, Depok, Bekasi, and Karawang. It cost at least 1 billion Rupiah to own a dream house in Jakarta. Surely, it is not easy to save some money if you are work as an employee or a small entrepreneur moreover you are living independently . However, if you are lucky as a star of soap opera or singer, you can save a  lot of money and own the dream house.

Astungkara, I have a little one but it is located far from Jakarta. Now it's time to search and inspiration for to decorate my small house:
