Facebook lagi happening bgt saat ini. Dari sekian banyak situs jaringan sosial, kayaknya fesbuk yang lagi kondang sekarang ini. Ada pendapat yang mengatakan, dengan di responnya materi di fesbuk kita (entah itu foto, pidio, bahkan status dsb), kita akan berasa eksis...&lt;br /&gt;('Eksis'? ni kata juga lagi happening bgt nih... btw, kata 'happening' juga lagi happening! Kyaaaa)&lt;br /&gt;Oke dah!&lt;br /&gt;Nih saya kasi tips2 agar content2 di fesbuk kamu jadi rame oleh comment dari temen2mu:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Status&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Usahakan jangan nulis sesuatu yang AMAT personal. Dalam hal ini, contohnya saut2an comment antara kamu dengan pasanganmu. Misal, kamu nulis gini di status mu:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Ayang... kamu lagi ngapain? Akyu udah mau bobo nich. Kamu jangan bobo didapur lagi ya..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;terus, setelah baca status kamu, pasangan kamu juga nulis statusnya:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yangkyu, malem ini aq lagi beteeee bgt. Dapurku di konci Mama. Akhirnya aku numpang tidur di dapur tetangga dech"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yang begini nih kemungkinan besar bakalan bikin fesbukmu sepi! Selain hanya sama pasanganmu sendiri itu. Temen2 kamu yang baca di 'home'nya masing2 bakalan ngilu bacanya. Dan ga jarang malah ngedamprat, EMANG GUE PIKIRIN!&lt;br /&gt;Bermesra-mesraan di fesbuk boleh... cuma kalo over, jadi keliatan norak bukan?&lt;br /&gt;Namanya juga jaringan social. It's means berguna untuk hubungan dengan orang banyak. Bukan cuma oleh satu pasangan aja. Kalo mau begitu mah, sms-an aja...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Lucu, Ringan, dan Up to date&lt;br /&gt;Inget Law of Attraction? Jadi, kalo kamu bikin sesuatu yang enak, nyenengin, lucu, pokoknya yang penuh muatan positif, niscaya, akan datang juga ke diri kamu hal2 yang demikian. So, tulislah sesuatu yang bisa bikin orang seneng, terhibur, ketawa, minimal senyum. Disamping itu, kamu juga bisa tulis sesuatu yang up to date or yang lagi 'in'. Apa kek, gosip kek, berita kek, informasi bisnis kek, atau inovasi kamu sendiri. Misal:&lt;br /&gt;" Apa yang ada di pikiran artis anu.... sampe2 bisa salah pijet"&lt;br /&gt;Yaah.. gitu deh kurang lebih...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Emosi&lt;br /&gt;Ini juga ga jarang menarik perhatian. Maksudnya yaitu, tulisan yang ada muatan emosinya. Misal kamu lagi sedih gara2 marmut kesayangan kamu ga sengaja di bikin sop ama pembokat. Atau kamu marah2 disitu gara2 ada orang iseng ngerokok persis dimuka kamu. Nah, ungkapkan aja sebisa-bisanya di status kamu sampe kamu puas. Paling ga, 1-2 comments nyantol laah... walopun orang nge-junk doang.. Hiihihiiii&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Foto&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ga jauh beda sama status, foto juga bisa di jadiin lahan buat ngumpulin comment dari temen2. Inget ya TEMEN-TEMEN! Jangan kelewat narsis. Jangan album photo kamu isinya foto kamuuuu semua dengan berbagai pose. Orang bakalan enEk kalo dari sekian ratus foto dalam sekian puluh album isinya kamu semua. Kalo kamu mau coment2nya dari temen2 kamu, pasang deh foto2 yang isinya ga hanya kamu sendiri aja. Tapi juga ada foto temen2 kamu disitu. Momentnya yang Lucu2. Kalo bisa yang cupu sekalian. Contohnya seperti:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Foto kamu ama temen2 kamu waktu masih ingusan (maksudnya masih kecil, bukan waktu kamu dan temen2 kamu pilek bareng)&lt;br /&gt;    * Foto waktu kamu disunat (bagus kalo pak mantrinya punya FB juga trus ngasih comment gini "Tau ga, punya kamu disimpen dimana sih? lama bgt saya nyariinnya. Kok mirip tetelan ya? alot bener") &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hari gini foto bagus mah biasa... bisa diedit, ga heran. Nah kalo cupu2 pasti mengundang mereka untuk lempar2an comment dengan person2 yang ada di foto itu. Inget ya, momentnya harus yang lucu/asik. Jangan moment pemakaman di masupin. Apalagi di jadiin foto profil. Lebih2 semua yang ada disitu ditag-tag-in. Kalo 'ada' yang ngasi comment kan serem tuh. Intinya JANGAN KELEWAT NARSIS. Jangan lupa untuk di tag juga mereka. Dengan demikian, mereka akan tau kalo dirinya di tag dan yang paling penting ada kontak batin disitu. Semakin banyak orang yang kamu tag, semakin besar kemungkinan kamu memperoleh comments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    * Pidio&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buat pidio mah ga jauh beda ama poto deh.... tinggal di sinkronin aja. hwheheehee&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sebenernya masih banyak lagi. Kayak Notes, wall dsb. Intinya, sebagai mana fesbuk diciptakan, Yaitu untuk menghubungkan dan saling berbagi ke orang banyak, maka fesbukmu juga harus disesuaikan dengan tujuan itu. Jangan isinya tentang pribadi kamu semua atau kamu dengan pasangan kamu semua. Dan juga jangan lupa untuk ngebales tiap comment yang kamu dapet langsung dibawahnya. Dengan demikian kita akan memperluas hubungan kita dengan khalayak ramai....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comment? uhui!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sumber : haadiyst.blogspot.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6133502335431262258-3939820083471178205?l=indieditch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://indieditch.blogspot.com/feeds/3939820083471178205/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://indieditch.blogspot.com/2010/03/cara-dapetin-comments-di-facebook.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6133502335431262258/posts/default/3939820083471178205'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6133502335431262258/posts/default/3939820083471178205'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://indieditch.blogspot.com/2010/03/cara-dapetin-comments-di-facebook.html' title='Cara Dapetin Comments di Facebook'/><author><name>Didit Rawk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08554211863859799844</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q_mXEVMVFYI/S__nAXfBYvI/AAAAAAAAAZU/nPwGerYGRPQ/S220/wong+edan(075).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133502335431262258.post-8589279541600656059</id><published>2010-03-15T14:24:00.001+07:00</published><updated>2010-03-15T14:25:08.091+07:00</updated><title type='text'>JokJays (Jokes JiJay Jayus)</title><content type='html'>Uoohh lama juga ga posting...

Tapi tetep aja masi ada beberapa temen-temen gw yang bertanya tentang arti dari ”alay” itu sendiri. Dan juga masih banyak temen gw yang ngelapor kalo ternyata masih banyak yang ”menganut” alay itu sendiri. Lebih-lebih dengan merebaknya social net (jejaring sosial) belakangan ini didunia maya seperti facebook dan twitter yang cukup banyak peminatnya di sini. So, gw akan mencoba ngebahas tentang fenomena ”alay” menurut pengalaman, pemantauan, dan pengertian gw yang ga gaul ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jadi gini, pada awalnya kata ”ALAY” itu merupakan suatu singkatan dari ”Anak LAYangan” yang kemudian biar gampang jadi disingkat ALAY. Dimana yang dimaksud dengan anak layangan pada saat itu dapat digambarkan dengan segerombolan bocah-bocah yang dekil, rambut merah kepanasan (gara-gara sering maen layangan), dan badan bau matahari. Begitu kurang lebih. Namun semakin kesini pergaulan dan tingkat ekspresional anak muda (karna kebanyakan pemakai bahasa alay kebanyakan anak muda) semakin pesat. Dari segi bahasa/tulisan, fashion, style dsb. Maka dengan demikian alay tidak bisa dikategorikan kesatu segi saja yaitu bahasa, yang sering kita denger istilah ”bahasa alay”. Melainkan bisa ke fashion dan style. Sebenarnya pada awalnya tidak ada istilah bahasa alay atau gaya alay dsb. Hanya saja karena para pengguna alayisme ini menjadi over dan cenderung berlebihan sehingga mengakibatkan orang-orang disekitarnya terganggu, maka timbul lah istilah alay sebagai buah dari kekesalan orang-orang yang merasa terganggu ini. Jadi, bisa dikatakan bahwa alay itu untuk menyebut perilaku/tingkah orang yang ingin gaul tapi terkesan maksa, norak, dan berlebihan yang amat menggangu jika dilihat, dibaca, atau bahkan didenger. Para pemakai alay pada awalnya kebanyakan anak muda cewek. Tapi makin kesini anak muda cowok jadi ikutan. Malah yang bisa dikatakan ”gak muda lagi” juga ada yang pake. Dan dengan maksud yang pingin keren atau imut namun secara berlebihan sehingga dilihat jadi ga pantes, makin kokohlah istilah ALAY itu sendiri.&lt;br /&gt;Menurut gw, sebenarnya fenomena ini sudah ada dari dulu sekitar tahun ’90an, bahkan sebelumnya. Hanya saja karna keterbatasan kosakata saat itu, jadi susah untuk melukiskan fenomena ini dengan suatu istilah. Inget dong dulu ada istilah ”Yongkruuuuw”, terus ”Yo’i Paceeeee’ (Ya, penyebutannya seperti nama buah obat) dimana dua kata tadi adalah suatu ungkapan hanya untuk mengekspresikan ”Iya” atau ”Iya dooong..” atau ”Iya bangeeettt”. Mungkin orang-orang sekitar pada saat itu bingung maksudnya apaaaaa ini???? Mereka risih saat denger atau saat nanya dijawab ”Yongkruwww” atau ”Yoi Paceee’. Mungkin begitu gambaran jaman dulu. Mereka merasa risih dan keganggu akan selentingan-selentingan ini dimana-mana. Tapi tidak bisa menyuarakan kerisihan mereka dan hanya bisa menjawab ”Maksudnya apa nih? Kru muda?” dan ”Hah? Lu suka buah pace’?”. Sehingga ditemukan lah istilah ”alay” belakangan ini. Dan dengan semakin berkembangnya jaman, berkembangnya teknologi, fenomena alay semakin merebak. Dikarenakan orang bisa bebas berekspresi dan lebih BEBAS menunjukan ekspresinya itu. Ditambah dengan adanya jejaring sosial yang amat banyak peminatnya disini misal facebook dan twitter. Dengan demikian orang2 semakin banyak yang BEBAS berekspresi tanpa sadar diri, dan semakin banyak juga orang2 yang menjadi risih karenanya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sekilas Perbedaan Alay dan Lebay&lt;br /&gt;Ada baiknya sekilas kita melihat perbedaan antara Alay dan Lebay. Memang sebelas-duabelas atau beda-beda tipis antara alay dan lebay. Untuk Alay, kita sudah bisa dapat gambaran dari bahasan gw diatas. Nah untuk Lebay, istilah ini merupakan pelesetan dari kata ”Lebih”. Yang dimaksudkan untuk orang yang berlebihan dalam hal perilaku. Atau bisa disebut Drama Queen. Bisa dikatakan Alay sama Lebay itu abang-ade. Dengan Lebay sebagai ”abang” karena ia lahir terlebih dahulu ketimbang Alay. Misal: Logat berbicara yang BERLEBIHAN gaulnya, disebut lebay. Status2 facebook yang BERLEBIHAN romantisnya, bisa disebut lebay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kembali ke Alay, berikut gw kasih gambaran sekilas tentang fenomena alay yang sempet hype SAMPAI SEKARANG:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Nama atau Nick Name yang ditambahkan ”Kata Sifat” atau ”Kata Kerja”&lt;br /&gt;Sebagai contoh, nama gw Wachyu. Jadi ditulis Wachyu ’Gantenk’, Wachyu ’Coolz’. Atau untuk yang cewek misalnya Wachyuni Ca’em, Wachyuni Imoed, Wachyuni Luchuw atau Wachyuni ’CUTE. Itu yang ”kata sifat”, dimana di”maksudkan” menggambarkan dirinya masing-masing. Selain itu ada beberapa yang ditambahkan dengan kata kerja. Misalnya: Wachyuni ’caiank kamoe’, atau Wachyuni Luph Wayu (yang maksudnya si Wachyuni punya pacar namanya Wachyu dimana si Wachyuni cinta banget sama Wachyu). Nah ini hanya beberapa contoh dimana mungkin udah sering banget kita jumpain. Sekarang jujur aja, menurut kalian orang yang pake nickname seperti ”lutcuw”. ”imoetz”, ”cantix”, aslinya gimana? Banyakkan mana dibandingin sama cewek yang bener2 cantik, imut, lucu – atau tampan, ganteng, cool bagi cowok - tanpa menambahkan ”kata sifat” itu di belakang namanya? ^^v&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Singkatan Yang Berlebihan&lt;br /&gt;Pada awalnya singkatan di gunakan untuk menghemat kata-kata karena alasan keefesienan tanpa mengurangi arti dari kata itu sendiri. Saat jaman SD, kita biar nulis disingkat biar cepet saat guru tercinta mendikte kalimat. Waktu SMP-SMA, nulis disingkat biar cepet saat ujian. Itupun hanya menyingkat seperlunya dan masih dalam batasan kewajaran. Para guru pun masih mentolelir. Mungkin hanya satu aja saat itu yang disingkat, yaitu kata ”YANG” yang disingkat ”yg”. Atau ”Pada” cukup menjadi ”pd”. Kemudian timbul teknologi SMS. Dimana singkatan di SMS bertujuan untuk bisa memperbanyak kata dari sekian kuota untuk sekali sms. Dan dengan berkembangnya pergaulan saat ini, singkatan-singkatan menjadi lebih kompleks. Dan membuat yang membacanya risih bahkan bingung dengan maksudnya. Misal: kata ”Mobilnya”. Akhiran ”-nya” disini disingkat ”-ny” menjadi ”Mobilny” tanpa huruf ’a’. Kalo beginikan seharusnya dibacanya ”Mobilni” bukan ”Mobilnya”. Atau ”Mobil’a” dimana setelah huruf L dikasih tanda petik (’) baru huruf a. Atau lebih ekstrimnya lagi ”Mobilx”. Kemudian kata ”Yang” setelah disingkat menjadi ”Yng”. KENAPA GA ”Yg” AJA KALO EMANG NIAT DISINGKAT. Kata ”Jangan” yang menurut gw normalnya disingkat menjadi ”Jgn” malah disingkat ”Jng”. Kalo begini kan artinya bisa kemana-mana? Dari Jagung, Jenong, atau Jeng. Lalu ”kok” yang disingkat ”Kug”, ”Kog”, ”Qo”. Dan yang lebih sering kita jumpain yaitu kata ”IYA” yang normalnya cukup ”Ya”, malah disingkay ”Iy” (terkesan mengekspresikan jijik) atau yang parahnya ”ea” (Udah kayak Tukul...Ea! Ea! Ea!). Mungkin itu juga baru beberapa dari sekian banyak contoh. Justru jika maksudnya disingkat, malah terkesan leih boros bukan?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Transformasi Huruf&lt;br /&gt;Yaitu huruf2 yang dengan seenak udel diganti dengan angka ataupun pemakaian huruf kapital yang tidak pada tempatnya. Misal dalam kalimat ini:&lt;br /&gt;Transformasi pertama: ”P4d4 h4r1 m1n99u ku turut 4y4h kek0t4”&lt;br /&gt;Transformasi kedua: ”nAIk deLMaN isTIMeWa KuDUdUk diMUka”&lt;br /&gt;Dan yang lebih parah jika keduanya digabungkan menjadi:&lt;br /&gt;”du2q d154mp1n9 p4Q qu51R y9 5eD4n9 8eKErj4 m3n9eND4r41 qUd4 5up4Y4 841k j4L4ny4 h3y!” -_-,&lt;br /&gt;Bayangin dengan satu baris kalimat ini butuh berapa detik untuk menulis maupun ngebacanya jika kita bandingkan dengan membaca tulisan dengan ejaan yang bener.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Persamaan Huruf&lt;br /&gt;Makin kesini, huruf-huruf juga bisa berubah lafaznya. Dimana huruf T bisa sama dengan D, huruf S bisa sama dengan C atau Z atau malah $, K menjadi Q atau G, O menjadi U dan lain sebagainya. Sebagai contoh, kata ”Semangat”. Dari kata ini, acap kali (ciahhh) diubah menjadi ”Semangad”, ”Cemangat”, atau bahkan ”Cemangad”. Dan berikut yang amat sering kita jumpai: Lemez, Ngantug, Haruz, futu (foto), muuph (maaf), Kag (Kak), dund (dong), bubu (bobo/tidur), ckola (sekolah -_-,), dst dah! Dan perlu diingat ini masih dalam ruang lingkup bahasa Indonesia, belom dari bahasa daerah yang di alay-in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Pemborosan Huruf&lt;br /&gt;Ga jauh beda ama yang udah-udah. Misal kata ”Aku” menjadi ”Akuwh”, ”Imut” jadi imoed, lutchuw (lucu), caiyank (sayang), taund (tahun) ......................................... (silahkan isi titik-titik ini dengan kata-titik lainnya yang pasti sering kamu temui)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Pemakaian Bahasa Inggris Yang Salah&lt;br /&gt;Nah ini juga ga jarang kita temuin nih... Entah karena ga sengaja salah tulis atau emang pengetahuan bahasa Inggrisnya kurang. Misalnya: ”Oh my good” yang mana maksudnya ”Oh my God”. Terus, ”Loadspeaker” yang maksudnya ”loudspeaker” (pengalaman pribadi :p), terus ”Oh...I miss you him so much” entah maksudnya ”I miss you so much” apa ”I miss him so much”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Gaya Foto&lt;br /&gt;Ternyata istilah alay ga hanya buat kata-kata aja. Untuk urusan narsis juga ga mau kalah. Yaitu foto-foto. Atau bahasa alaynya futu-futu. Mungkin berawal dari kebosanan orang akan gaya foto yang itu-itu aja dan ditambah dengan bakat narsis yang menggebu-gebu. Orang yang percaya-akan-dirinya-oke mulai bereksperimen dengan mencari-cari cara agar dirinya tampak lebih OKE jika dilihat difoto ketimbang aslinya.&lt;br /&gt;Sudah terbukti bahwa pengambilan gambar dari sudut-sudut tertentu bisa mempengaruhi kualitas suatu objek. Diantaranya menjadi terlihat lebih bagus. Yaitu angel/sudut kamera yang diambil dari sudut atas kira-kira hanya beberapa derajat dari kepala. Dan juga bisa ditambahkan ekspresi jari yang dibentuk sedemikian rupa sebelum gambar diambil. Misal:&lt;br /&gt;ü Tangan membentuk angka 1, trus letakkan di depan bibir, dimana bibir sudah siap dengan posisi monyong, alis keatas. CPRET!&lt;br /&gt;ü Kemudian, pose (bisa dengan sudut kamera yang sama) dengan memajukan kepala dan pipi yang digelembungin seperti orang nyelem nahan napas. CPRET!!!&lt;br /&gt;ü Lalu, foto dengan tangan yang membentuk pestol yang diletakkan dibawah dagu. Tersenyum 3 jari daaaaaannn CPRET!!!!!!!!&lt;br /&gt;ü Selanjutnya gaya menggigit bibir bagian bawah dengan alis keatas, kpala sedikit melengos, dan mata disipitin. CPROT!&lt;br /&gt;Well, pada awalnya gaya seperti ini fine-fine aja jika digunakan secara ”bijak” dan oleh orang-orang yang ”tepat”. Hanya saja belakangan ini sering banget kita jumpain orang-orang yang menggunakannya secara tidak bijak. Kalo boleh jujur, ga pas dan merusak pemandangan. Jadinya malah ”menggangu” yang ngeliat dan secara tidak langsung mengejek dirinya sendiri. Misal nih, bayangin gw. Dengan badan subur, kulit sawo matang abis dijemur, bewokan, foto dengan salah satu poin gaya diatas. Merinding kan Lo? Gw yakin, setiap orang punya gaya masing-masing untuk tampil oke tanpa harus maksain bergaya seperti itu. Coba deh kita explore diri kita masing – masing. Trus temuin gaya yang bener-bener pas, buat kita pakai nanti-nantinya. Kalo lo bisa terlihat oke walopun di gaya paling jelek, itu baru keren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;· Fashion and Style&lt;br /&gt;Gw juga ga terlalu expert sama hal beginian. Yang namanya style ama fashion emang ga bisa dilepas sama yang namanya anak muda. Apalagi sekarang segala jenis informasi yang berkaitan dengannya bisa diakses dimana aja. Setau gw, kiblat fashion sama style kita ini kalo ga barat, ya asia. Kalo barat kita tau lahh dari mana aja.. kalo asia biasanya kebanyakan ngambil dari Jepang ama Korea. Nah, kita sebagai keturunan melayu di kawasan tropis biasanya mempunyai ciri-ciri fisik: kulit antara kuning langsat-coklat-sampai item, dan rambut hitam. Banyak banget kita liat orang-orang yang pede banget dengan penampilan maksanya dan sungguhnianpun amat ga enak dimata. Untuk alay fashion, biasanya cowo yang lebih sering ter-detected. Lantaran cewek lebih pinter dandan dan pinter nge-mix and match. Dan kalo udah gini, timbul deh celetukan ”eh eh,, liat deh... alay banget ya”. Dan parahnya lagi ”eh.. Ada masteng!”&lt;br /&gt;Gini nih, misal ditemukan cowo berpakaian celana pensil dimana untuk memakainya mungkin harus dikasih oli. Trus pakean lengan panjang kotak-kotak. Dengan rambut cuma terlihat sisa poninya doang dengan maksud emo (walopun lebih terlihat seperti salah satu band yang,,,,,). Atau ada cowo keker berambut bondingan disemir emas dengan kaos lek-ton atau keleke katon (keteknya keliatan-jawa) udah kayak personil F4. Atau berdandan harajuku dengan rambut warna warni dan pakean yang rada-rada nyeleneh. Wow, keren banget ya! Tapi dia melupakan kalo dia termasuk sebagai mana ciri-ciri sudah gw sebut diatas. Dimana dia berkulit gelap dan berambut item. Gimana menurut lo?&lt;br /&gt;Gw bukannya rasis disini. Maksud gw boleh mereka ngikutin model apa aja. Asalakan cocok sih oke-oke aja. Tapi perlu diinget juga. Para model yang mereka ikutin itu kan asalnya dari barat ama asia, dimana mereka memiliki kulit yang putih. Dan kalo kulit putih biasanya cocok dengan model rambut apa aja (apalagi botak hehehehh), juga model pakean apa aja. Mau mereka model A, model B, sampe C kalo kulitnya putih sih cocok-cocok aja. Dan perlu diinget juga, kita biasanya mengambil contoh apa yang kita liat di media. Bukan yang di dunia sebenernya. Nah kebanyakan apa yang dimedia itu kan yang bagus-bagus aja yang ditampilin. Gaya bagus dengan model/pemeran yang bagus. Jadi di otak ya kita udah ”terprogram” bagus. Tanpa melihat yang sebenernya dan melihat diri kita sendiri. Cocok buat mereka, belom tentu cocok buat kita. Eh btw, gw juga pernah dikategorikan alay waktu awal-awal kuliah loh... Gara-gara dulu pingin ngerasain gondrong Hehehehh... Disini gw bukannya membatas-batasin dalam hal berekspresi. Bukannya maksud gw buat sok nasehatin juga. Hanya aja menurut gw jika segala sesuatunya digunakan secara berlebihan tanpa melihat porsi yang kita miliki malah jatohnya jadi ga pas. Menurut gw, Tuhan udah menciptakan kita sebagai mahakarya-Nya ini dengan komposisi perhitungan matang-Nya. Si A dengan postur begini, kulit begini, cocoknya dengan muka begini dan rambut begini dsb. Begitulah sederhananya. Jadi sekali lagi kita harus bisa mengeksplor diri kita untuk nyari-nyari mana yang cocok buat kita biar bisa tetep ok tanpa berlebihan jika memang perlu kita ubah. Orait!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yahhh itu sedikit gambaran yang bisa gw kasih mengenai fenomena alay. Akhir kata, gw ga mengdiskreditkan/ngelarang untuk beralay-alay. Ini hanya pendapat gw. Boleh aja kalo ada yang beda. Hanya aja bagi yang gunain fenomena ini juga bisa inget lingkungan sekitar, bisa menempatkan diri dan jangan terlalu berlebihan laaahhhh..... Misal disingkat-singkat boleh, asal jangan berlebihan... Ibarat kata nih, makan duren boleh... tapi kalo kebanyakan bisa mengganggu orang-orang disekitar lo yang ga suka duren. Dari baunya lah, trus kulitnya kalo dibuang sembarangan bisa ngundang lalet ijo lah....gitu deeehh.. Oke? Oke? Hoke!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sumber : haadiyst.blogspot.com&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6133502335431262258-4906189591933378596?l=indieditch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://indieditch.blogspot.com/feeds/4906189591933378596/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://indieditch.blogspot.com/2010/03/alayisme.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6133502335431262258/posts/default/4906189591933378596'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6133502335431262258/posts/default/4906189591933378596'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://indieditch.blogspot.com/2010/03/alayisme.html' title='Alayisme'/><author><name>Didit Rawk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08554211863859799844</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q_mXEVMVFYI/S__nAXfBYvI/AAAAAAAAAZU/nPwGerYGRPQ/S220/wong+edan(075).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133502335431262258.post-4545134584951175895</id><published>2010-03-15T14:15:00.002+07:00</published><updated>2010-03-15T14:22:22.718+07:00</updated><title type='text'>Ceritanya TIPS Menghadapi Bahasa Ribet :D</title><content type='html'>Berikut adalah cara ngatasin kalo kita2 dapet sms dari anak2 dengan bahasa ribet.

&lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY29t" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff278/bois_action/AdnanDKusuma11.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Semuanya berawal di pertengahan 1997 dari pertemuan Imam dan Aray di waktu SMA, kemudian sebuah gagasan untuk membangun tongkrongan diperempatan Condong Catur, yang kemudian oleh anak-anak disebut CC Barmy Army, kita biasa menghabiskan weekend didalam reruntuhan rumah kosong yang didepannya berdiri warung makan lesehan, tanpa melupakan jatah makan malam anak-anak tentunya. “Kita membutuhkan sebuah band untuk membawa tongkrongan ini”, itulah yang terbesit dibenak kami setelah beberapa bulan berada ditempat itu, maka akhir 1997 Aray dan Adnan bersepakat untuk membuat band, jadilah DOM 65, dengan personil orisinil : Aray : Vokal Adnan : Gitar Celeng : Bass Rabies : Drum Baru berjalan beberapa bulan DOM 65 langsung memecat Celeng, sebagai gantinya, dicabutlah “Imam” dari “The Babi” untuk mengisi posisi bass. Tidak lama kemudian Rabies pamit resign untuk kerja diluar kota, posisi drum pun segera diisi oleh “Cimot” yang pernah satu band dengan Aray di “No Racist Project”. Begitu personil lengkap, DOM 65 mulai menggarap lagu-lagu sendiri, materi dasarnya adalah Oi!, tapi karena waktu itu kita banyak terpengaruh oleh band-band Hardcore Punk semacam : GBH, The Exploited, Discarge, Chaos UK, Varukers, dan One Way System, maka jadilah musik Oi! Yang terlalu kasar. Debut mini album DOM 65, digarap split dengan band Oi!/Streetpunk “Laga Bara”, menggunakan titel “Oi!Laskar MataramOi!”, dirilis oleh “Realino Records” yang juga merupakan rilisan perdananya pada tahun 1999. Didalam mini album tersebut terdapat anthem-anthem klasik seperti “CC Barmy Army”, “Bullshit”, “Streetpunk”, “Alcohol Say Hello”, dll. Dan pada akhirnya split album inilah yang mengawali pergerakan band streetpunk di Jogjakarta. &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY29t" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff278/bois_action/ImamSenoaji11.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Tahun 2000 merupakan tahun tersulit bagi DOM 65, dimana Aray menghilang, dan Cimot lenyap entah kemana, selama beberapa bulan DOM 65 terpaksa harus vakum, dan mulai aktif lagi setelah muncul ide untuk merger dengan band Oi!/Streetpunk “Subversiv” yang juga sedang mengalami krisis personil, maka masuklah “Oix” mengisi posisi vokal, dan “Aan” mengisi posisi bass yang ternyata hengkang dalam hitungan hari. Begitu Oik bergabung, Adnan yang satu-satunya mengerti cara menabuh drum terpaksa harus menghandel posisi tersebut, Imam pun pindah keposisi gitar, posisi bass memakai additional player. Keberadaan Oik membawa banyak perbaikan dalam musik DOM 65, komposisi lagu agak berbeda dari sebelumnya, cenderung ke Fast Oi! semacam: The Ejected, The Partisan, Peter &amp;amp; The Test Tube Babies, The Blood, dan Infa Riot. Formasi ini menghasilkan satu buah mini album yang dirilis oleh Realino Record dengan titel “Oi!Ruck ‘n’ Raw”. Didalamnya terdapat ruck ‘n’ raw sound seperti “Run Fast For Life”, “Out Of The Count”, “Revenge”, “Up Yours”, beserta remake dari “Bullshit” dan “Streetpunk”. Formasi ini juga sempat merekam beberapa single sebelum akhirnya Oix harus hengkang meninggalkan band. Krisis personil kembali terjadi, dengan sisa 2 orang personil, DOM 65 merekam single “Fortuna” dan “Never Rust” untuk diikutkan dalam kompilasi “Oi!The Penalty”. Perubahan komposisi lagu yang drastis mengundang banyak pertentangan keras waktu itu, tetapi band ini harus menemukan karakternya. Pencarian personilpun dilakukan, masuklah “Denda Omnivora” dari band Hardcore Punk “The Ripper Punster” untuk menabuh drum, disusul “Sesa Slaughter” jebolan band Power Violence “Traumatish” untuk mengisi posisi gitar. &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY29t" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff278/bois_action/SesaSlaughter11.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Akhir tahun 2002, DOM 65 merekam mini album fenomenal “Secret Warehouse” yang berisikan 4 lagu andalan: “Stone War”, “No Need A Reason To Hide”, cover song paling nekat “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”, dan “Me And The Kids” sebagai mouth to mouth hits. Materi dan kompisisi mini album ini telah keluar dari standar baku tatanan musik Punk Rock di Indonesia. Dirubahnya ejaan D.O.M 65 menjadi DOM 65 juga dimulai dialbum ini, tidak ada alasan khusus selain karena latah orang-orang saja. Keluarnya Denda Omnivora pada akhir tahun 2004 sempat menghambat pengerjaan proyek full album yang rencana rilis dibulan Juli 2005, sebagai gantinya masuk “Erwin Gusur” dari band Streetpunk Solo “Barber Shop”, dengan bergabungnya Erwin Gusur, DOM 65 dengan cepat merampungkan full album “Greatest Pledge Articles” yang berisi tujuh lagu baru plus remake tiga lagu dari mini album Secret Warehouse dan dirilis oleh “Ruckson Music Records”. &lt;a href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vcGhvdG9idWNrZXQuY29t" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff278/bois_action/ErwinGusur11.jpg" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; Ada berbagai macam persepsi tentang musik DOM 65. Dari yang berambut spikey sambil memasang peniti dikaosnya mengatakan ini adalah Punk Rock, atau yang memakai sepatu boot kemudian dengan bangga meneriakkan ini adalah Oi!, atau Hard Rock bagi mereka para Headbanger Maniac, hingga yang dengan tolol menuduh ini adalah trend Garage Rock. Pada dasarnya DOM 65 memainkan Oi! dengan attitude Cockney Rejects, Cock Sparrer, Sham 69, Angelic Upstarts, dan Blitz. Tanpa melupakan 77 Punk Rock yang melekat erat ketubuh band ini karena satu alasan, a good music. Hard Rock 80an yang sangat familiar, juga tanpa disangkal rasa kagum terhadap kejeniusan Rush dan Marillion, hingga pengakuan terhadap kemegahan Pink Floyd dan Genesis.

Para personel merupakan musisi yang sering berproses di Antero studio di jalan Janturan no.30, Jogja, karena kecintaan dan keinginan yang sama untuk membawakan musik rock lama yang terkesan sudah jarang di tampilkan pada pentas dan  ajang musik di Jogja, maka disepakati untuk membentuk sebuah grup band yang khusus memainkan lagu-lagu dalam era Clasic Rock, Heay Metal dan Glam Rock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Dengan mencoba memainkan lagu lagu milik grup rock yang pernah popular pada masa lalu, grup Anterock berharap memberi stimulan terhadap khasanah musik Jogja akan bentuk apresiasi lagu-lagu khususnya musik Rock agar dapat menambah variasi dan alternative musik bagi publik Jogja khususnya.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ANTEROCK :: ALBUM PITULUNGAN&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gagasan pembuatan 7 lagu dalam album Pitulungan muncul di studio Antero  ketika Umar Syaiful seorang pematung dan spiritualis berkunjung ke Jogja dan menemui Heri Machan selaku pemilik dan pengelola studio. Ide awal adalah penggarapan lagu berjudul “Syahadah Palestina” karena kebetulan pada saat itu kegelisahan kami semua berakar pada persoalan di Palestina yang sedang terjadi gejolak berkepanjangan. Konsep dari lagu lagu yang terdapat dalam album Pitulungan memproyeksikan situasi sosial budaya saat ini yang real ada dipermukaan tapi hanya menjadi suatu pemakluman dan keprasahan dari seluruh pihak dikarenakan sistem yang berjalan sudah bergeser dari sumber aspirasi dan pusat getarannya. Diskusi yang intensif diantara penggagas lagu dengan pengolah musik menjadikan suatu perpaduan musik bermuatan balada dengan syair yang tergolong satire dibalut warna musik rock dalam nuansa yang nyaris progresif dan psikodelik.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-family: georgia; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Heri Machan mengajak team dari musisi Anterock yang terdiri dari beberapa personel dengan kapasitas dan latar belakang musik yang beragam antara lain :&lt;br /&gt;Adi Pamungkas, termasuk musisi senior yang telah berpengalaman di banyak produksi musik di Jakarta, juga dalam hal ini bertindak sebagai engineer dan music director dalam penanganan proyek musik album Pitulungan.&lt;br /&gt;Rijal, seorang gitaris metal yang aktif tergabung dalam kelompok musik progressive di Jogja dan sedang bersiap untuk meluncurkan album lagu-lagu nya. Eko, pemain bas yang sangat expresif, telah sering memperkuat kelompok musik di jogja dalam beberapa acara regular di café dan pertunjukan musik lainnya. Fokus, pemain gitar klasik alumnus Institut Seni Indonesia yang berstatus sebagai pengajar musik di beberapa SMA dan membantu mengelola kursus musik di studio Antero, dalam penggarapan album ini dipercayakan untuk membangun komposisi awal setiap lagu. Wicaksono (Soni), personel yang paling muda ini di posisikan untuk memainkan drum, agar dalam lagu yang digarap masih memunculkan irama trend dari spirit generasi muda masa kini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;Yang mengasyikkan dari proses ini adalah para musisi di Antero memakai metode minimalis to maximalis, dimana yang diutamakan adalah merespon kebutuhan lagu dengan menggunakan seluruh kapasitas yang ada tanpa harus mengada-adakan yang tidak ada. Karena kami yakin jika setiap musisi sudah mempunyai kesamaan paradigma terhadap suatu gagasan maka untuk memunculkan ekpresinya dalam bentuk musik lebih kepada aktualisasi dirinya ketimbang kecanggihan perlengkapan pendukungnya. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;Diskografi Grup Band&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;"&gt;1.

Wai Rejected sendiri diambil dari nama clothing salah seorang personel mereka, namun dalam perjalanan band nama ini memiliki semboyan ‘takkan ada penolakan terhadap musik yang penuh semangat dan mengandung kejujuran’.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dan dari sinilah mereka mulai membawakan lagu-lagu ciptaan sendiri dengan warna musik garage, formasi ini berjalan selama setahun lebih sampai pada awal 2008 bergabunglah Yudha Guritno (Gitar/Back Vox).

Yang akhirnya musik ini jadi dasar mereka ngeband. Para Personnelnya adalah : Yudis (drummer),Ino (bassist), Bima (vocalist), Fuad (keyboardist), Richi (guitar) dan Dinda (rhythm guitar). Dan pada tanggal 13 November 1998 ditetapkan sebagai hari terbentuknya band ini.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nama Morning Blue sendiri baru ditemukan setelah mereka latihan. Fuad yang menggagas nama band ini, karena mudah diingat. Dan kenapa mereka pakai nama dalam bahasa Inggris? Alasannya karena, mereka punya keinginan untuk go-international. Kemudian formasi mereka berkembang lagi dengan Haris (keyboardist) menggantikan Fuad, serta Dinda yang tidak lagi bergabung.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pada tahun 2000 mereka bersama band-band indie lain seperti Pablo Honey membuat album kompilasi yang bertajuk “Road Show”.

Inilah pertanyaan yang seringkali diajukan orang saat mendengar nama ini. Sulit untuk menjauhkan prasangka yang umumnya mengaitkan nama tersebut dengan obat-obatan. Sebenarnya Sister Morphin hanyalah sebuah nama yang diambil dari judul lagu The Rollingstones, “Sister Morphine”, yang mereka tulis bersama Marianne Faithful. Nama itu dipakai hanya karena alasan kenangan cinta pertama. Cinta pada jenis musik semacam itu yang kemudian membawa kepada yang lebih dari itu. Herry menemukan judul yang tercetak di sampul kaset tua tersebut saat ia berumur 16 tahun dan mempergunakannya untuk nama bandnya semasa SMA. Karena tak ingat lagi ejaan yang benar, ia kehilangan abjad terakhir.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tahun 2006, Yulia bergabung sebagai vokalis melengkapi Herry (gitar), Adi (drum) dan Andi (bass).  Mereka merekam “That’s Better For Me”, dan mengirimkannya ke dalam kompetisi L.A. Lights Indiefest 2007, dan mereka berhasil hingga top 40 se-Indonesia. Tahun 2008 mereka mencoba lagi dengan formasi baru, yaitu Yulia (vokal), Herry (gitar), Dian (Keyboard) dan Sinung (kontrabass), mengirimkan lagu “Heaven Tonight” dan berhasil hingga Top 10. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sister Morphin, terdiri dari orang-orang dengan latar belakang musik yang berbeda yang disatukan oleh hasrat yang sama pada blues. Namun semua berjanji memberikan warna terbaik dari masing-masing mereka untuk menghasilkan musik yang sederhana sekaligus indah. Jazz lunak dan blues yang tajam dan dingin. Sister Morphin berusaha bermain musik secara natural dan mudah dengan penjiwaan yang serius pada setiap penampilannya.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt;Sister Morphin juga berasal dari latar belakang etnis yang berbeda-beda. Mereka bertemu di Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta. Herry, Dian dan Sinung kuliah di jurusan Etnomusikologi Fakultas Pertunjukan sementara Yulia di Desain Komunikasi Visual Fakultas Seni Rupa.

Di pertengahan tahun 2008, Aldo mengundurkan diri dari Arcoirish dan digantikan sementara oleh drummer additional, yaitu Yehu. Karena merasa cocok dengan permainan Yehu, akhirnya Arcoirish bersepakat untuk menyerahkan posisi drum kepadanya.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arcoirish berasal dari bahasa Spanyol yang memiliki arti pelangi. Pelangi penuh dengan warna, lantaran setelah rintik itu terjun dan muncullah gerangan efek berwarna itu.

Uya tertarik untuk mengubah format band setelah melakukan “jam session” dengan Erwyn yang pada waktu itu masih menjadi drummer sebuah band Blues Jazz. Pertengahan tahun 2007 merupakan awal tebentuknya LastElise dalam format band. LastElise terinfluence oleh banyak ‘hal’ dan musisi karena ‘basic influence’ tiap personilnya sangat berbeda.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Konsep yang diusung LastElise adalah kejujuran dan kebebasan dalam berkarya tanpa tendensi apapun, dan menyebut aliran musiknya cukup dengan Alternative.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6133502335431262258-41690908138471256?l=indieditch.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://indieditch.blogspot.com/feeds/41690908138471256/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://indieditch.blogspot.com/2009/06/last-elise.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6133502335431262258/posts/default/41690908138471256'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6133502335431262258/posts/default/41690908138471256'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://indieditch.blogspot.com/2009/06/last-elise.html' title='Last Elise'/><author><name>Didit Rawk</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08554211863859799844</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_q_mXEVMVFYI/S__nAXfBYvI/AAAAAAAAAZU/nPwGerYGRPQ/S220/wong+edan(075).jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6133502335431262258.post-835077299357522931</id><published>2009-06-15T15:51:00.000+07:00</published><updated>2009-06-15T15:59:07.627+07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='indie band'/><title type='text'>Tigapagi</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: tahoma; line-height: 20px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-size: 14px; "&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.lalightsindiefest.com/materials/news/images/image_993_01IXgoq.jpg" border="0" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"    style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"    style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"    style="font-family:Arial;font-size:100%;color:#333333;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 20px;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'times new roman'; font-size: 16px; "&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt;Nama &lt;a href="http://www.lalightsindiefest.com/bandprofile.php?bandID=431" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(153, 0, 0); "&gt;Tigapagi&lt;/a&gt;, diambil dari sebuah pandangan atau paradigma akan sebuah titik waktu, masa dimana semuanya akan segera diawali yang juga bersamaan dengan saat dimana semuanya sedang berakhir.

Pada saat itulah mereka mulai membuat lagu sendiri dan mencoba mendengarkannya pada banyak orang dengan menyebarkannya secara sporadis melalui teman dan relasi.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt;Sambutan orang sangat variatif, itu membuat vickyvette lebih semangat untuk mengeksplor diri mereka dalam bermusik, melalui   indierock/experiment    mereka merasa cocok.

Inspector Clouseau is reassigned from his task as a parking officer by Chief Inspector Dreyfus to join the Dream Team in Japan, site of the Tornado's recent heist. At the airport, as soon as he is officially leaving France, news breaks that the Pink Panther Diamond has also been stolen. Clouseau travels back to the scene of the crime, where the other members of the Dream Team, Inspector Pepperidge (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Britain" title="Great Britain" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Great Britain&lt;/a&gt;), Vincenzo (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italy" title="Italy" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Italy&lt;/a&gt;), Kenji (an electronics specialist from &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan" title="Japan" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Japan&lt;/a&gt;), and Sonia (a researcher and criminology expert from &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India" title="India" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;India&lt;/a&gt;), are gathering. They go to Rome to investigate a black market fence, Alonso Avellaneda, who deals with The Tornado. Assuming he is The Tornado, the Dream Team question him while Clouseau snoops around. Avellaneda successfully vindicates himself by demonstrating that he lacks a bullet-wound to the right shoulder- the Tornado was shot in that shoulder during a theft over a decade ago. After they leave, he meets with The Tornado himself.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Later on that night, Clouseau and his partner, Ponton, spy on Avellaneda, using a wire they have planted on him, as he takes a date out for dinner. Unfortunately, the mission is compromised when they find Vincenzo and Clouseau's girlfriend, Nicole, together at the restaurant. Having been banned for burning down the restaurant three months earlier, Clouseau disguises himself as a dancer and attempts to switch the wire to Nicole's table. In the process, he ends up burning down the restaurant again. At the same time, The Tornado steals the Pope's ring, an act which begins to turn public opinion against the Dream Team. When Clouseau's acts of foolishness aggravate the situation, he is voted off the team, with only Sonia sympathizing with him. Shortly afterward, Clouseau is called to an office where they see the Tornado has killed himself, and left a suicide note claiming he destroyed the Pink Panther- regarding it as being so beautiful that he could not bring anyone other than himself to own it- and left the other treasures to be recovered. Examining a key they found in the Pope's Chambers, they successfully match the DNA of the victim with DNA of the Tornado acquired when he was shot, and thus believe themselves to have solved the case. However, Clouseau is unconvinced and believes the Tornado was not the thief.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;For their victory in recovering the stolen items (minus the Pink Panther), a celebration is thrown in the Dream Team's honor. Clouseau, who was not invited, tries to convince Dreyfus that the real thief is still at large, but is ignored. Dreyfus relays to the group that Clouseau told him Sonia was the thief, and the group, treating the idea as a joke, work out a plausible explanation for how she could have done it; as the Tornado's ex-lover, she would have in-depth knowledge of his methods, and has set up a situation to draw all attention to the thefts of the other artifacts while leaving her free to sell on the Pink Panther as the only treasure that could be cut up and sold on without suspicion. As Sonia tries to leave, Nicole asks her to take everything out of her purse. Sonia pulls out a gun, and after initially threatening to shoot Nicole, she shoots Clouseau, but the bullet hits the medal of honor. She then runs upstairs. Clouseau and the rest of the Dream Team chase her all around the building, while they all (except for Clouseau) make fools of themselves. Finally cornered, Sonia threatens to destroy the Pink Panther, and Clouseau successfully goads her to do so. Clouseau reveals that she had destroyed a fake gem he had switched with the real one, and that the Tornado, a master thief and a recognized authority on valuable gems, would have recognized this; therefore, his suicide note- where he praised the beauty of the gem- was forged and he was actually murdered. He reveals that he had given Sonia's car a ticket two days before the Pink Panther was stolen, contradicting her alibi of having been delayed to the crime scene because of her flight. Dreyfus tries to claim credit for having appointed Clouseau to his parking job, but Clouseau, remembering Dreyfus told him to deny this to anyone who asked, rebukes the claim. Clouseau later marries Nicole.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;&lt;a name="Cast" id="Cast" style="text-decoration: none;

Bizu, a star player who hated Gluant and was the prime suspect, is shot in the head and killed. A girl witness had heard him say "Oh, it's you" immediately before being shot; therefore Clouseau tells Ponton to gather all the people in Paris with the name "You".

Upon Clouseau's return to France, Dreyfus insults him and strips him of his &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspector" title="Inspector" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;inspector&lt;/a&gt; rank, preparing to win the case. Based on his evidence — that the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poison" title="Poison" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;poison&lt;/a&gt; that killed Gluant was derived from Chinese herbs — Dreyfus deduces that the killer is a Chinese envoy named Dr. Pang, whom he plans on arresting at the upcoming Presidential Ball. Dreyfus later orders the event's planners to remove Clouseau's &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name" title="Name" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;name&lt;/a&gt;from the guest list.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Having returned home, Clouseau finds a photo of his arrest on the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet" title="Internet" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Internet&lt;/a&gt;. He sees something significant in the photo, and immediately makes his way to the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%89lys%C3%A9e_Palace" title="Élysée Palace" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Élysée Palace&lt;/a&gt; with Ponton, where they sneak into the Presidential Ball with the help of Clouseau's secretary Nicole. Dreyfus arrests Dr. Pang for double murder, but Clouseau and Ponton are able to prevent the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder" title="Murder" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;murder&lt;/a&gt; of Xania by pursuing and capturing the real killer, who turns out to be Yuri, the French soccer team's trainer. Clouseau then reveals that the Cantonese woman "reminded" Clouseau that all soccer trainers must be learned in herbal medicine; furthermore, Bizu was shot in the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occipital_lobe" title="Occipital lobe" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;occipital lobe&lt;/a&gt; of the brain, a location that would be known to Yuri on the premise that all soldiers who served in the Russian military (as Yuri was before he was a soccer trainer) must also be expert marksmen and know the precise location of the occipital lobe (though in the film the shot was actually into the frontal lobe). Clouseau also reveals that Yuri tried to kill Xania because she went out with Gluant and Bizu and ignored him, as all women is like an &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artichoke" title="Artichoke" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;artichoke&lt;/a&gt;, because you have to do a bit of work before you can get to her heart. Xania is revealed to have the Pink Panther diamond sewn into the lining of her purse, having received it from Gluant as an engagement ring. Clouseau then reveals that he had seen the diamond in her purse while examining the photograph of his arrest, which also showed a view of her purse as it appeared to the airport's luggage scanner. Dreyfus makes a clumsy attempt to take credit, saying his arrest of the Chinese envoy was a ploy to draw out the real killer. For his success, Clouseau wins the Légion d'honneur.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Later, Dreyfus is severely injured when Clouseau's &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_(automobile)" title="Smart (automobile)" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Smart car&lt;/a&gt; drags him on the road for several minutes after Clouseau unknowingly closes the door on his pant leg. A visit by Clouseau to a hospital where Dreyfus lies bandaged culminates in Dreyfus's plunge through a hospital &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window" title="Window" style="text-decoration: none;

Not including those scenes, the differences between the version in the novel and the final film are as follows:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style="line-height: 1.5em; list-style-type: square; margin-top: 0.3em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 1.5em; padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; list-style-image: url(http://en.wikipedia.org/skins-1.5/monobook/bullet.gif); "&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;There is more &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profanity" title="Profanity" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;profanity&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_sexual_behavior" title="Human sexual behavior" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;sexuality&lt;/a&gt; in the earlier version.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;In the final film, Clouseau's antics as a village &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gendarme" title="Gendarme" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;gendarme&lt;/a&gt; are revealed in an explanation from Dreyfus, accented with &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flashback" title="Flashback" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;flashbacks&lt;/a&gt; of several short, unique incidents. Originally, there was to be a single separate scene showing a typical case of Clouseau's, involving the robbery of a hot dog cart.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;Several press conference scenes are much longer in the pre-edit version. In addition, there are several scenes featuring Dreyfus speaking to his deputy chief Renard, dispensing his thoughts as the case develops.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;In the original movie, Bizu's animosity against Xania and Gluant, along with his narcissism, was shown much more in depth than in the alternate version. For example, in the beginning when he is switched with the inexperienced soccer player (albeit, this fact is never revealed in the final movie, with Bizu not being mentioned at all through the opening sequence), Bizu gets into a brawl with Gluant, with a substantial amount of fighting and swearing until his teammates break it up, along with another scene in which Clouseau is questioning Bizu at a factory, printing posters of himself on which he is modeling topless in sexually provocative positions. An edited version of the opening scene was released in the Deleted Scenes on the DVD, while the factory scene was completely deleted and replaced by the scene in which Clouseau is interrogating him at the police station.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;The scene involving Nicole taking Clouseau's measurements also included additional lines of mildly risque dialogue while trying to find his waist measurement.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;During the scene where Clouseau first interrogates Xania, she mentions giving Gluant "the greatest gift... my &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginity" title="Virginity" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;virginity&lt;/a&gt;". At the end of the scene, as Clouseau and Ponton are leaving, Clouseau asks Xania if she would someday "lose her virginity to me too", to which she slyly responds "Maybe".&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;Before Clouseau meets Agent 006, he plays a game of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roulette" title="Roulette" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;roulette&lt;/a&gt; and is flabbergasted upon losing.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;The scene where Clouseau places a leaky pen in Dreyfus's breast pocket is a &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_gag" title="Running gag" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;running gag&lt;/a&gt; in the earlier draft.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;The already suggestive scene in Xania's hotel room is even more sexual in the earlier version. Also, upon losing the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viagra" title="Viagra" class="mw-redirect" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Viagra&lt;/a&gt; pill (or as Clouseau calls it his "Miracle Pill For The Middle-Aged Man") down the drain, Clouseau sneaks out of the hotel and into the city, in the hopes that he can refill his prescription. Before doing so, he deposits his "Flaming Mojito" in a potted plant in the lobby. Clouseau visits two pharmacies, both of which are closed. Using Agent 006's glass-cutting device (seen earlier in the Gas Mask Bandits scene), he breaks into the second pharmacy and gets the medication himself. Just before the romance begins, the mojito sets the lobby ablaze. Everyone is evacuated to the streets, including a nearly naked Xania and Clouseau.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="margin-bottom: 0.1em; "&gt;The Medal of Honor ceremony is seen in the earlier version. A humiliated Dreyfus is forced to present the award to Clouseau and Ponton, complete with the customary hug and kiss. Following the ceremony, the police receive word that the Gas Mask Bandits from earlier in the film have escaped, and Clouseau and Ponton jump on the case. In the chaos, Dreyfus is knocked off a bridge into the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seine" title="Seine" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;Seine&lt;/a&gt;, causing Clouseau to sigh and deliver the ironic film-closing line, "A great detective, the chief inspector... but clumsy".&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em;

Adalah C.U.T.S., band electropunk asal Bandung yang dibentuk 17 November 2007. Awalnya C.U.T.S. digalangi oleh Itta (high vocal) dan Dani (lead guitar) yang sebelumnya ada di satu band yang sama yaitu agentprovokateur.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;C.U.T.S. kemudian diperkuat oleh Ykha (raw-r vocal) yang tahun 2007 lalu sempat menggebrak Indiefest dengan band lamanya, The Bohays, yang berhasil masuk 10 besar regional Bandung. Lalu ada juga drummer punk yang sempat membela Harapan Jaya dan Boys are Toys yaitu Upit. Satu personil lagi yaitu Dida, yang di awal Indiefest 2008 ada di balik drum, kini diminta bertanggung jawab atas rhythm guitar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Nama C.U.T.S. sendiri merupakan kependekan dari Caustics, Ultraist, Totally Slice. Mereka mengartikannya sebagai sebuah bentukan pola visual yang luar biasa yang dapat memotong dan menyelinap langsung dengan cepat ke dalam perhatian dan pikiran orang2 yang melihatnya seperti sebuah silet yang sangat tajam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Konsep music yang diusung C.U.T.S. adalah electroclash yaitu jenis musik yang ditemukan pada akhir tahun 70-an, dan mempunyai hubungan yang dekat dengan jenis musik post-punk serta pengabungan dari media digital dan analog yang menghasilkan keselarasan nada yang enak didengar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Single perdana C.U.T.S. yaitu “Beringas” merupakan bentuk kreativitas mereka bahwa yang didasari oleh semua orang bisa berkarya dalam bentuk apapun. Semua orang berhak meng mengkritik tapi jangan mematikan, itulah konsep pemberontakan C.U.T.S  didalam lagu tersebut. Konsep single video clip “Beringas” adalah Bullying Die. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;Bullying&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt; adalah cerminan negatif yang sudah mengakar di kehidupan ini.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: auto; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;C.U.T.S  dalam pengarapan image band single ditangani oleh manajemen myOyeah musik yang bekerjasama dengan Lill Fish Records dan didukung sepenuhnya oleh Universal Music Indonesia untuk distribusi dan promosi lagunya melalui L.A.

Forever grateful to Yinsen, Stark burns all the munitions the terrorists have accumulated and then flies away, only to crash in the desert. Stark survives, but his suit is in pieces.

While revealing his plan to take over Stark Industries, Stane removes the arc reactor from Stark's chest and leaves him to die. However, Stark gets to Potts' gift and re-installs his original reactor.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;Although his original reactor is underpowered for his latest armor, Stark races to rescue Potts, and a battle erupts between him and Stane. Finding himself outmatched, Stark lures Stane atop the Stark Industries building. With no power left, Stark instructs Potts to overload the full-sized reactor in the building. This unleashes a massive electrical surge that knocks Stane unconscious and sends him falling through the ceiling into the reactor itself, incinerating him.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top: 0.4em; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.5em; "&gt;The next day, it is revealed that the press has dubbed Stark's &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alter_ego" title="Alter ego" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 43, 184); background-image: none; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; -webkit-background-clip: initial; -webkit-background-origin: initial; background-color: initial; background-position: initial initial; "&gt;alter ego&lt;/a&gt; "Iron Man".
