De Komst Playlist

De Komst : Vlahos & Karina
There are always songs for the mood whenever i write stories 
and now it's time for 'De Komst', my latest novel with fifi playlist i shared with you :)
Because the setting came from 1930-1940,
it's actually pretty hard to find the actual song from this year,
so i just picked some from the classic world war 2 albums
(specially from G.I Jukebox : songs from world war 2 you can hear it here and Classic songs from WWII)

Nah. And here it's my favourite album of all : 
'Always in my heart' from 'Classic songs from WWII'
If you read my novel, and found any songs that i meant in the books, i picked up mostly from this album :)
There is also the volume one and it's called : 
'Kiss the boys goodbye' 
But i didn't really listen to this part. I prefer the second one.
Classic song from WWII : Always in my heart
And this one, i didn't listen much to this because i have no copies of this album (yet)
but i listened it in youtube and actually it's very nice too :)

G.I. Jukebox: Songs From World War II

And here it is
playlist for 
'De Komst' 

1.  Het Wilhelmus
Dutch nationality anthem, i really love the song :) first heard of this anthem from 'Oeroeg' movie, this anthem really takes me back to the colonialism era, reminds me a lot of the dutchmen. 

2. I Don't Walk without You - Dinah Shore
This song featured in 'De Komst chapter 21' when Karina & Vlahos did the ballroom dance together :') i really love the mood. Very lovely and.. romantic. Actually all of Dinah shore's song isn't fit with the year.. but well.. have no choice. This song is just way too great.

3. He Wears a pair of Silver Wings - Dinah Shore
Featured in 'De Komst chapter 19 when Vlahos takes the dance with Astoria. I took this because this song is just really fit with what Astoria think about Vlahos :) 
And this is what i love from the lyrics : 

"To me he means a million other things 
For he's the one who taught this happy heart of mine to fly 
He wears a pair of silver wings.... 

An ordinary fellow in a uniform I love...

....Why, I'm so full of pride when we go walking 
Every time he's home on leave 
He with those wings on his tunic 
And me with my heart on my sleeve 
But when I'm left alone and we are far apart I
 sometimes wonder what tomorrow brings 
For I adore that crazy guy who taught my happy heart 
To wear a pair of silver wings"


How Astoria getting crazy about Vlahos.. 
How Astoria feel joy & happy when she's on his side..
This song is great ! 

4. Yours - Vera Lynn
Ah! All vera lynn's song are great but this one is my favourite! I really love dame vera's beautiful voice
 & the orchestra! really beautiful :') 

5. Always in my heart - Hal McIntyre & his orchestra
Sweet, Dramatic, and full of orchestra. This song is really suits with the mood, altough it's written for world war 2 (well, not really into my story..) but i really love how Hal describes the feeling.. wonderful !

*notes*
Dinah Shore & Vera Lynn collection is the best ! :D

Dutch Military Officer

0
Here it's,.. Dutch Military Officer from my latest fiction ' De Komst' ,
i only got 2 of them for today but i'll make sure i'll add more :)
Enjoy!

Col. Vincent Van Vlahos

Bold, serious  & tough guy.  He doesn't talk much, doesn't ask for help, and never let anyone see him upset. Doesn't talk about trivial things, and always get to the point. Likes to be unpredictable, but sometimes that's what makes him cause resentment.
Usually called by 'Vlahos', recently being assigned to Malang, Indonesia as a weapon specialist and ranked as Colonel. He has bright blonde hair and pure blue eyes. He also has a maid (not a maid actually, because vlahos forced her to work for him) named Karina. But, as you know, Karina do have a really tough mind like Vlahos and everything always ended up not very well. 


Vincent Van Vlahos

 Lt. Col. Heinrich Bakker

Vlahos only one friend. Loves Indonesia and always persuade him to understand the love of this country. Heinrich is the type of friend who understand a lot about his friend, including feelings & what to do. 
Sweet, temptating, and likes to smile. Heinrich is the kind of guy who'll get girls easily. He has emerald green eyes & hazel hair.
Worked in the same division as Vlahos, it is told that Heinrich has been experienced more in Indonesia than Vlahos. And that's why what makes him lovestruck with this country. He enjoys everything, specially girls, cuisine, whiskey, and jokes. He also has girl named Pratiwi, which's found that she's Karina's friend.

Anyway, You can see the Vintage version in my deviantart here :)

Vlahos feeling sick

0
I hate being sick.
It has been a week i got my cough & pain all over my body.
And i got a mid exam.
So, yes, I'm feeling really sick with all of this.
Not just because of my cough, but also because the pressure i got in the class.
I know, it's only 4 months again we'll have the final 'final exam'
but, can't they just take it easy?

karina & vlahos : vlahos being sick

   
Karina & Vlahos : a serenade for vlavla

I know t the serious time.
But it doesn't mean that serious.

Well, dear my friend,
Study is like a game.
It'll be a really fun if you just take it easy,
but in the same time you're doing it good.

Oh. 
How i wish i could study abroad !

and in a parallel world, Vlahos is being sick too
i know it's funny, since vlahos is only my fiction character,
but i wrote him sick before i got sick.
So this means, indirectly, i got my disease from Vlahos HAHAHA

Poor my Vlavla.
He got so much mind right now.
same like me.
But he got Karina.
and i got nobody *yet*

Nah,
for all of you who haven't read Karina-Vlahos fiction ( De Komst ) ,
you must read 'em here right now!

Have fun with your weekend ! :3

25 Days until the End of the World

0
What would you do if you only have 25 days to live?

Seeking A friend for the end of the world
So counting from now to 21 december 2012,..
it's only 25 days again until the end of the world (according to mayan propecy )

Will you go to your loved one? Will you go to your family?
 Or will you find what are you looking for?
 or even, do all of the things what you want to do?

It ain't about your belief. But it's all about the question. 
Answer this.
Think about it.
Which one will you take?

It's really important to think about this right now.
World has changed, and so do us. People are getting too much serious lately in their jobs, etc. They said that success is the first thing that matter. 
But it's not like that.
Life is about living like what you want to. 

"Let yourself be happy" - Tom Hiddleston
"Happiness only real when shared" - Into the Wild




See the world. See yourself. 
See the beauty.
And see how many things have you forget about them when you're too busy with all of your jobs.

"A beautiful thing is precious, no matter the price. Those who do not know how to see the precious things in life will never be happy"

There wasn't enough time. There never would have been.

"Make sure you tell the people you love that you love them. Loudly and often. You never know when it might be too late" - Tom Hiddleston

22

0
"Uh oh, I don't know about you but I'm feeling 22 
Everything will be alright if you keep me next to you 
You don't know about me but I bet you want too 
Everything will be alright if we just keep dancing like we're 22, 
22"

It's like already 7 months keeping this feeling for the whole time.

I have no idea what to do.
I saw you coming twice in my dreams
and finally i'm awake.

It's just.
Really weird.
When one day, you wake up, and realized that this guy,.
you have no idea who's him.
But he's keeping you in your dream like you know him for many years.
It's just weird.

I can't explain how's that feels,
but i guess it's a crush. A big crush.
I don't know yet.

"Yeah we're happy, free, confused and lonely in the best way 
It's miserable and magical oh yeah 
Tonight's the night we forget about the heartbreaks, 
it's time"

And now i realized that 
you passed through my life like a thousand times
The examination, the community, and so many other things i didn't know until right now
but i guess it's pretty late for me, I'm sorry.

Well, what should i do?
My love is too selfish.

But it's all about the beginning, right?

  "It feels like one of those nights, we ditch the whole scene 
It feels like one of those nights, we won't be sleeping 
It feels like one of those nights, you look like bad news 
I gotta have you, I gotta have you"


- 22, Taylor Swift

No. I'm not 22, only 17, but I think 22 is going to be my favourite number for now ♥
