Christmas Shopping Madness

Pitch Perfect

The film revolves around the Bellas, an all-female a capella group from Barden University. Reeling from a humiliating loss at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella, the group struggles to find new members the next year. Beca, a Barden freshman, has no desire to go to college, but is forced to attend by her father, a professor at the university. Wishing to instead move to Los Angeles to pursue a career as a DJ, she takes up an internship at the school radio station, where she meets fellow freshman Jesse. When Beca's father finds out that Beca has not been attending classes, he offers to let Beca go to Los Angeles if she joins a club and proves that she wants to be involved. After some persuasion from Aubrey, the group leader, and Chloe, she joins the Bellas, along with a group of other women who do not fit the Bellas' typical mold.

At practice, Aubrey's controlling nature gets on the nerves of the other girls. She is constantly critical and insists that they use the same set list the Bellas have been using for years, which clashes with Beca's contemporary style. Meanwhile, Beca hangs out with Jesse—who has joined the Treble Makers, the Bellas' main rival—despite Aubrey's warning to the group not to get involved with Treble Makers. Beca plays several of her own mixes of contemporary songs for him, and he compliments her for her talent. He then tries to get Beca to watch the ending of The Breakfast Club, his favorite movie, after Beca tells him she does not like movies because they bore her and she never gets to the ending.

Despite their issues, the Bellas attend the regional a capella competition. On the way to the venue, the group stops for gas where Fat Amy is hit by a burrito by Bumper, a member of the Treble Makers in their own bus. After the other girls clean her up, they continue on to the venue but run out of gas since Fat Amy forgot to actually put any in the bus. They're then forced to call the Treble Makers to drive them to the venue. In spite of their bland set list, the group manages to place second at the regional a capella competition.

At the semifinals, Beca notices how bored the audience is with Aubrey's traditional arrangement, so she provides impromptu back-up, mash-up vocals. The Bellas come in third in the competition behind the Treble Makers and another group. Even though the audience was pleased, Aubrey was not and Beca quits the group. The Bellas make it into the Nationals after the other group was disqualified because their lead singer was discovered to be in high school, not college. They get together after spring break, but this time, Beca is not included.

During this time, Beca begins working as a DJ at the university radio station, playing her music on the overnight shift, and also steadily distancing herself from Jesse. She finds a copy of The Breakfast Club and watches it. She realizes how much she needs the Bellas in her life. Her father convinces her to rejoin the Bellas, who she finds falling apart. The now complete again Bellas have a heart-to-heart and decide to kick things up a notch with Beca's 21st-century mash-ups. At the National Competition, the Bellas sing a piece arranged by Beca, including "Don't You (Forget About Me)", the theme from The Breakfast Club. The Bellas win the competition and Beca and Jesse reunite with a kiss.

Cocoon 1

Pengen punya ‘tempat persembunyian’ super nyaman? Kayaknya ide dari sebuah perusahaan asal Swiss, bernama Micasa Lab ini keren banget! Yap, Micasa Lab baru selesai merancang sebuah ‘living pods’ yang dikasih nama Cocoon 1. Bentuknya simpel, seperti gelembung sabun. Tapi keistimewaannya nih, selain di dalamnya kita bisa bersantai sambil membaca buku dengan bantal biru dan kuningnya itu, kita pun bisa menaruh barang-barang di laci yang tersedia, bahkan bisa berWi-Fi-an dan memasak di dalamnya. What an awesome idea!

Gimana nggak keren, kalo pods ini juga dilengkapi dengan power pack yang memiliki daya bisa menyalakan listrik hingga 40 jam. Atau kalau ingin memasak di dalamnya, listrik bisa menyala sampai 20 jam, dan kita bisa memasak dan menyalakan air hingga 30 menit. Dan asiknya lagi, Cocoon 1 nggak Cuma bisa ditaruh di dalam ruangan, tapi bisa kita bawa ke tempat outdoor, seperti di halaman rumah, taman, kolam renang, sampai tepi pantai. Love this!

Mini Donut Factory

Yum! Sore hari duduk berdua Mommy, sambil nge-teh dan makan donut di halaman pasti menyenangkan. Apalagi sekarang udah ada lho mesin otomatis pembuat donat, yang bisa kita taruh di rumah. Bentuknya juga lumayan mungil, yaitu “Nostalgia Electrics MDF-200 Automatic Mini Donut Factory”. Gimana nggak semangat makan donat, kalo mesin ini aja bisa membuat donat hanya dalam waktu 90 detik!

Yup, setelah kita memasukkan adonan, mesin ini pun akan membentuk adonan berbentuk bulat, menggorengnya, yang memang hanya membutuhkan waktu 90 detik. Canggih ya?

Kalo tips dari gue, setelah donat-nya jadi, coba masukkin deh dalam plastik, sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, or cocoa powder, and then a few shakes, voila! Donat super lezat dan hangat bisa langsung disantap! Nah, harga Mini Donut Factory sekitar Rp.951.000-an, dan bisa kalian order disini:

US Election Illustrated Using Fast Food

Moment pemilihan Presiden Amerika beberapa waktu lalu rupanya nggak disia-siakan sama duo seniman asal Berlin, yaitu Lisa Rienermann dan Anna Lena Schiller. Yap, ide memang bisa dateng dari berbagai hal. Jadi setelah pemilihan Presiden Amerika berakhir, mereka membuat ilustrasi infographic yang menggambarkan fakta penting seputar pemilihan Presiden. Dan yang unik, burger and fries (stereotypical American meal) pun akhirnya yang dipilih sebagai media yang paling tepat untuk visualisasi tersebut.

Project yang diberi nama “Binders Full of Burgers” ini seru banget, karena menggunakan burger, mustard dan saus tomat untuk menggambarkan grafik berapa banyak warga Amerika yang memiliki hak untuk memilih, seberapa besar jumlah kemungkinan masing-masing calon Presiden, sampai hasil jajak pendapat pun tervisualisasikan. 

Oh ya, Rienermann dan Schiller menggunakan hot dog dari Frankfurters loh untuk menggambarkan kontribusi para perusahaan Jerman yang telah membuat campaigns untuk Obama dan Romney, dan kentang goreng untuk menggambarkan negara yang namanya paling sering muncul dalam debat Presiden. 

Ternyata, ilustrasi menggunakan makanan seperti ini bukan pertama kali dibuat oleh Rienermann dan Schiller. Mereka sempat membuat "Election Waffles" sewaktu pemilihan parlemen negara Berlin di tahun 2011 lalu. "We hope that the pictures once again provide a different approach to the really dry numbers," Ungkap Rienermann. Kalo gue sendiri suka banget sama ide mereka, ngeliat data statistik seperti ini jadinya sangat menyenangkan. Tapi kira-kira setelah pemotretan makanannya dikemanain ya? Ternyata Rienermann mengakui, “We ate everything in the end” Good idea, guys!

Starbucks Pop-Up Shop

Buat para coffee lovers pasti nggak asing sama coffee shop yang satu ini, Starbucks. Berbeda dengan gerai Starbucks lainnya, gerai Starbucks yang ada di Tokyo ini unik banget! Dengan konsep Pop-Up Shop, tempat ini juga dikenal dengan nama “Starbucks Espresso Journey”, dimana para pengunjung bisa mempelajari berbagai fakta tentang Lattes, Cappuccinos, Cafe Mochas, dan masih banyak lagi. Wow, Marvelous!

Ruangannya pun sangat minimalis dan dirancang seperti library, dengan deretan rak yang dipenuhi buku. Two thumbs up buat perusahaan desain, Nendo yang punya ide keren untuk membangun Pop-Up Shop Starbucks! Oh ya, ada 9 nuansa warna yang ditampilkan dari buku-buku yang dipajang, yang ternyata ini dimaksudkan untuk mewakili berbagai Espresso yang dijual. Baca buku emang paling klop ditemenin kopi, oh tentu.. kita pun bisa langsung pesan minuman favorit di Pop-Up Shop. "The concept for the pop-up shop was informed by the relationship between reading and enjoying a cup of coffee. Books and coffee are both important parts of everyday life, so we created a link between favorite books and favorite coffees,” Ungkap sang desainer, Oki Sato. Love it!

It's Your Life

It's your life. It's ok if you can't control others. It's just not ok if you can't control your life and let others control yours. You only have one chance to live this life. Don't pass this precious chance to others. It's your life. It is completely yours. Make it how you want it to be, live it your way, but don't waste it.

Be grateful for who you are, but never stop improving yourself. Don't be afraid to try. It's ok to make mistakes as long as you learn from them. Don't worry about your problems, but solve it. Take the journey of your life and enjoy all the experiences you have, either good or bad. Don't rely on people. Don't rely on the circumstance. Rely on God alone. That's how you live your life to the fullest.

Apple iPod Touch 2012

For the first time, the Apple iPod touch is made from the same kind of aluminum used in the MacBook line. And the 2012 iPod touch is made the same way too: By machining the enclosure from a single piece of aluminum. The first thing you'll notice about the new iPod touch is its barely-there weight. Then all those Apple details - like the highly polished beveled edges. And the iPod touch is made from one of the strongest grades of aluminum there is. There’s a reason these iPod touch colors are so incredibly rich and vibrant. It’s because they’re bonded right to the aluminum - not just painted on the surface. So you see saturated color that lets the luster of the Apple touch metal shine through.

iPod Touch Camera

The iSight camera on the new iPod touch packs five megapixels - seven times more than the previous generation - and takes such great shots, you can ditch your point-and-shoot camera for good. Advanced optics, tap to focus, an LED flash and face detection help you get the shot every time. The iPod touch iSight camera shoots 1080p HD video, and the front camera gets a boost for better FaceTime calls. And you can edit, crop and enhance your photos directly on iPod touch with the iPhoto app, available in the App Store. Other Apple iPod touch camera features include:

• 1080p HD video recording.
• In-app editing.
• Panorama.
• Sharing.

And with every kind of music on iTunes just a tap away, you can find the perfect song for whatever mood, or room or car, you're in. Films and TV programmes never looked better on the new iPod touch. Videos play in true widescreen on the 4-inch Retina display. Colours positively pop thanks to 44 per cent greater saturation. And if you're in the mood for that film your friends can't stop raving about, head to the iTunes Store, where you can download it straight to iPod touch. When you download your favourite music, apps, films, TV programmes and books from the iTunes Store to iPod touch, iCloud makes all that content accessible on all your other devices, iPhone, iPad, Mac or PC, so you never have to connect cables or manually sync to transfer your content.

The fourth generation iPod touch is available in black and white for $ 199 (US) in a 16GB model and $ 249 (US) in a 32GB model through the Apple Online Store, Apple's retail stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. iPod touch requires a Mac with a USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port, Mac OS X v10.6.8 or later and iTunes 10.7 or later; or a Windows PC with a USB 2.0 port and Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP Home or Professional (Service Pack 3) or later and iTunes 10.7 or later.

Starbucks Tokyo

Wah, Starbucks yang ada di Jepang ini memang beda dengan Starbucks lainnya! Coba liat dari depannya, desain tempatnya unik banget, dan ini adalah hasil karya dari Kengo Kuma and Associates. Mereka bilang, project terbaru ini mengusung konsep ‘contemporary chicness’, dan kita bisa merasakan suasana yang berbeda lho ketika singgah ke Starbucks yang berada di daerah Fukuoka, Tokyo. Uniknya, kenapa Starbucks ini dibuat berbeda dengan Starbucks lainnya? Yup, dikarenakan lokasinya yang memang terletak dekat kuil Shinto, yaitu salah satu kuil paling besar di Jepang (yang berada di area Dazaifu Tenman-g?).

Dan agar terlihat harmonis dengan kuil yang dikunjungi 2 juta pengunjung setiap tahunnya, dibuatlah Starbucks dengan wood style, yang akan membuat kita serasa berada di alam terbuka. Tebak? Bangunan ini terdiri dari 2000 balok kayu yang menutupi hampir seluruh dinding dan langit-langitnya. Menariknya lagi, anatomi kayu diseluruh bangunan ini bisa di daur ulang! Dan Kuma juga bilang, karena bisa di daur ulang, bangunan ini bisa dibongkar kapan aja dengan mudah, dan dipindahkan ke lokasi yang lain. Hmm, looks like a great place to enjoy a Mocha Frappuccino!

Taylor, Carly, and 1D

Taylor Swift—Begin Again

"Begin Again" is a song recorded by American recording artist Taylor Swift. It was written by Swift. Initially released as a promotional single on September 25, 2012 by Big Machine Records, the song will serve as the second single from Swift's fourth studio album Red (2012) on October 1, 2012.

Swift told that the song is "about when you've gotten through a really bad relationship and you finally dust yourself off and go on that first date after a horrible breakup, and the vulnerability that goes along with all that". She previewed it on Good Morning America on September 24, 2012, while it was released digitally on iTunes the next day, September 25. The song serves as a promotional single, the first of four tracks to be released during the four weeks preceding the release of Red. It was later announced that the song would be the second single from Red.

One Direction—Live While We're Young

"Live While We're Young" is a song by British-Irish boy band One Direction, from their upcoming second studio album Take Me Home (2012). Written by Rami Yacoub, Carl Falk and Savan Kotecha and produced by Yacoub and Falk, it was released as the lead single by Syco Records on 28 September 2012. The track is an energetic pop rock song which includes elements of dance pop and bubblegum pop. It encompasses of vocal harmonies, hand claps, prominent electric guitar riffs, and synthesizer "bursts". The song's lyrics speak of living life in the moment.

The song received mostly positive reviews from music critics. While it faced criticism for its opening guitar riff baring similarities with The Clash's 1982 single "Should I Stay or Should I Go", critics who favored the song cited its omnipresence and resemblance of happiness. A commercial success, the song became a top ten hit in fifteen countries, and reached the summit of the charts in Ireland and New Zealand. In the United States, "Live While We're Young" debuted at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, sold 341,000 downloads in its first week, and bowed at number one on the Digital Songs chart. Its debut marks the highest bow by a British group and the second-highest debut among all UK acts, outpaced only by Elton John's number one arrival with "Candle in the Wind 1997". Its opening sales denote the fastest-selling single by a British act, the biggest opening sales figures for a single by a non-US artist, and the third ever for a download by a group, surpassed by the arrivals of Maroon 5's 2012 single "Payphone" (493,000) and The Black Eyed Peas' 2009 single "Boom Boom Pow" (465,000).

An accompanying music video officially premiered on 20 September 2012, in response to an unauthorized internet leak. Directed by Vaughan Arnell, it depicts a camping and water festival theme, with the group's activities considered "scampering". It was generally well received by critics, who commended its carefree and abrasive nature. Upon release, it broke the Vevo record for having the most views in a 24-hour period with 8.24 million, beating the previous record which had been set by Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" (8.00 million). Bieber later bested the record with his music video for "Beauty and a Beat" (10.3 million).

Carly Rae Jepsen—This Kiss

"This Kiss" is a song by Canadian recording artist Carly Rae Jepsen, released as the third single from Kiss. It was written by Jepsen, Matthew Koma, Kelly Covell and RedFoo of LMFAO, and produced by Koma. The song will impact mainstream radios October 9, 2012, and will be used to promote the 2012 American teen comedy film, Fun Size.
