HOKAI. I'm bored. I'm gonna make a small list of my favorite bands. I like other bands than these bands, but these are the bands that I LOVE.
1. Queen (1971 - 1997)

First song: Reaching Out (Return of the Champions)
Favorite song: Cosmos Rockin' (The Cosmos Rocks)
3. Avenged Sevenfold (1999 - present)
I got really hooked on them when I was in 9th grade, but I've heard of them since 8th grade. At that time I couldn't figure out why people would love them. Not I couldn't figure out why people DON'T love them.
First song: Bat Country (City of Evil)
First video: Seize the Day (City of Evil)
Favorite song: Until the End (Diamonds in the Rough)
Favorite video: Seize the Day (City of Evil)
4. My Chemical Romance (2001 - present)
First heard of them when I was in 7th grade on MTV. They were playing 'Black Parade' on MTV and what really caught my attention was the band name, because it's really rare and unique. At that time, I love blonde!Gerard, now? Not so much :/
First song: Welcome to the Black Parade (The Black Parade)
First video: Welcome to the Black Parade (The Black Parade)
Favorite song: The Sharpest Lives (The Black Parade)
Favorite video: The Ghost of You (Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge)

9. Fall Out Boy (2001 - 2009) (hiatus)
I knew this band exists, but I didn't know any of their songs. Haha. So I decided to browse their videos on YouTube and chose the right song. Fell in love instantly to Patrick's voice.

First video: This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race (Infinity on High)

10. Papa Roach (1993 - present)
Well, to be honest, I knew this band, but I never knew the songs and the members. I only knew Jacoby Shaddix at that time, and that I knew it from a fan fiction community in LiveJournal. Haha. Gotta admit, I only love the band at that time because Coby is smoking hot. But when I heard their song, I was blown away.
First song: Lifeline (Metamorphosis)
First video: Lifeline (Metamorphosis)
Favorite song: Hollywood Whore (Metamorphosis)
Favorite video: Scars (Getting Away With Murder)
11. The Academy Is... (2003 - present)

First song: About a Girl (Fast Times at Barrington High)
First video: About a Girl (Fast Times at Barrington High)
Favorite song: Neighbors (Santi)

First song: Guilty Pleasure (¡Viva la Cobra!)
First video: Guilty Pleasure (¡Viva la Cobra!)
Favorite song: Pete Wentz is the Only Reason We're Famous (Hot Mess)
Favorite video: The City is at War (¡Viva La Cobra!)

First video: Misery Business (Riot!)
Favorite song: Brick by Boring Brick (brand new eyes)
Favorite video: Brick by Boring Brick (brand new eyes)
14. The Killers (2002 - present)

First and favorite song and video: Mr. Brightside (Hot Fuss)

First video: Undisclosed Desires (The Resistance)
Favorite song: Resistance (The Resistance)
Favorite video: Uprising (The Resistance)
18. It Boys!
Well, this is still a very small band, but I'm pretty sure they'll go big later on, because I love their song and their style. This band is associated with DCMA Collective, since the keyboardist, Tommy Coops a.k.a. Tommy Cooperman is the brother of one of the owners of DCMA Collective, Tal Cooperman.
First and favorite song and video: Miss Hollywood
I guess that's it!
I'll update this when I found a new band I love ;)

Nostalgia...
Arin inget... 10 taun yg lalu. Tanggal 5 Mei 2000.
Arin baru bangun tidur gara2 dibangunin mama. I heard something that is very much unpleasant for someone to hear early in the morning after they woke up...
"Rin, Aki meninggal,"
Kaget. Sedih. Bingung. Semuanya campur aduk. Otak langsung mikir, "Nah loh. Kenapa? Kapan? Kok bisa?" Padahal, Aki sempet pulang dari rumah sakit, Arin g inget knapa beliau bs masuk rumah sakit, tp beliau smpet pulang, udh naek kursi roda. Padahal beliau udh keliatan sehat bgt, meski pake kursi roda. Tapi kok, kenapa?
At last, I hauled my ass off the bed and took a shower. Put on one of my favorite Muslimah outfit I had. Dress panjang warna biru tua, putih sama merah, motifnya bunga-bunga, ada banyak rendanya. What? I was a really feminine kid back then, okay?
Arin turun dari kamar kluarga yg ada di lantai 2 rumah kakek-nenek, atau aki-eni Arin. Dan Arin jalan ke ruang utama, dimana, Arin liat, ada ranjang kayu warna coklat tua, kasur putih, di atasnya udah ada badan yang udah dibungkus kain kafan. Arin deketin, dan Arin mulai nangis pas Arin liat muka Aki yang keliatan damaaaaai banget.
Arin tungguin sampe Aki beres dimandiin. Dan Arin ikutan solat jenazah untuk pertama kalinya. Tentunya, Arin g tau bacaan2nya, Arin cuma ngikutin gerakannya, sambil berdoa buat Aki.
Kita smua pergi ke pemakaman Karang Anyar d Jl. Dewi Sartika, deket Kings Alun-Alun. Dan waktu Aki udh diturunin ke dalem makam n makamnya udh ditutup lagi, Arin mulai nangis. Arin g bs fokus sama doa2 yg lagi dibacain. Arin cuma fokus sama kenyataan, kalo Aki, Aki yg Arin sayangin, Aki yg sayang bgt sm Arin, udh meninggal.
Aki is possibly the best grandfather, next to my grandfather from my dad's side, ever. Arin bisa bner2 ngerasain klo Arin disayang bgt sama Aki. Aki is a really generous person. Aki sering banget ngasih Arin makanan yg Aki tau Arin suka. Coklat, keju... Aki jg seneng bgt ngajak Arin k macem2 tempat naek mobil Peugeot coklat. Ke supermarket, ke tempat kerjanya... and I always had an amazing time with him, no matter what we did together.
And now... it's been 10 years. I was 6 when he died. I was still in the 1st grade of Elementary School.
Now, I’m 16 years old. I’m currently in the 11th grade in Senior High School, going to be a 12th grader pretty soon.
Aki nggak sempet liat Arin naek ke kelas 2 SD. 10 tahun kehidupan Arin direnggut dari Aki, atas izin Allah. Arin nggak akan marah, Arin nggak akan kesel sama siapapun, karena Arin tau, ini jalan yg paling baik bwt Aki, bwt Arin, buat smua orang yg berasosiasi sama Aki.
Arin harap... Aki bisa liat Arin dari manapun Aki berada saat ini. Arin harap Aki bisa bangga dan nerima apapun yang Arin lakuin. Arin mau bikin papa, mama, teteh, Aki, Eni, Eyang Kakung, Yangti, keluarga besar Salman, keluarga besar Dasril, bangga sama Arin. Semuanya.
Doa Arin selalu nyertain Aki biar Aki dikasih tempat yg layak dan lapang di sisi Allah, Aki diterima smua amal baik yang udah Aki perjuangin sewaktu Aki masih hidup...
Arin sayang sama Aki, Arin kangen sama Aki.
Much love,
Your 14th granddaughter! :D
