Aight people! 20th post.
Heyo people! How yall doing? This is my 20th post (I think). So, yay!!
Today! Vinia and Ko Vandi came over. We recorded Falling Down and the Promotion Song. Ko Vandi changed the 2nd song. I mean the way it was supposed to be played and it was great. Really great. It was awesome. We recorded with his handphone. So, things didn't really exactly work as we planned. So, change of plans.
Exams are coming. AHHH! I just can't wait till, nvm.
Next, tomorrow's Saturday. I'm going to continue with the promotion tomorrow night while I'll try to use the day to study as much as I can. Wish me luck. Time is ticking away for the deadline of the promotion and for exams. Argh, so many things to do.
Since, it is the 20th post. I promise to try to put the video on the blog once it is finished. I'll send it to Selena too of course. So, wish us luck! It is going to be awesome. Aiming to be the first! Well, adios amigos!
Peace, Ryan

Tomorrow's the day
Alrighty!!! Heyo peeps! How yall doing? I hope yall are doing great!

Title
Heyo! How yall doing? Good? I have no idea what to put as title, so I'll just put title.
Anyways, what can I do? Music took control of my life ever since I strive to be an artist. I can't concentrate anymore. I am not doing what I am supposed to be doing which is studying. I still do studying but, not as much as I am supposed to.
Well, no response yet. I do hope she would respond. I would really love to get a respond. Love to be a friend, her friend. Not because she's what she is but, who she is. I mean deep inside. Yeah, maybe she heard that one before but, its true.
I got a new guitarist! Well, not confirm yet but, well let us just take it as I have a new guitarist! Yeah! Operation SCP (Selena Competition Promotion) is still underway but, will I have enough time? We'll see. Especially when we're aiming for a Saturday finish. So, pray to God he can and available!
So basically. Please God make her respond and please let him be available and able to play the song!
Peace, Ryan

I've done everything. Like seriously. I prepared so much! The picture, the schedule, everything. I told people what to do for this. I asked and they volunteered, anything wrong with that? Everything is supposed to be done by this Friday. I've done so much. So, so much. All I want is to get it right.
He decided not to do, due to his own reasons. I trusted him. I put everything on him. I placed all my bets on him. Well, he decided not to do and rejected me quite badly. Added things that he shouldn't say.
Match has to be on Friday.
Some other he, decided to say that this thing could be a repeat. I mean, there are some other time. That is why, we come back to a few blogs before, that is why I want it to be done by last week!!! Now, I don't even think there would be a this week. Thank you. Thanks a lot.
No, I'm not blaming anyone. I've decided to blame it all to myself. For reasons, that you don't need to know. Everything will be kept in me. So, yeah. HAVE FUN WITH LIFE!
Monday, September 21, 2009 @ 9:26 PM
Hey yall, what's up?
Heyo! How yall doing? I hope yall are doing good. Basically, today is just so-so. So, nothing much to talk about.
Oh, at night, I sent someone a private message through windows live thing. Apparently, windows live is getting better and better. Better than just being a communication system for us. Haha! I do hope that person do reply. If that person is seeing this, it would be so cool.
Say, all my life I have been lost in what I wanted to do, and now, at the age where usually we people will get lost and supposed to be the confusing period, I found out what I wanted to do. To entertain people, through the melodious sounds of music. To change the world once I am there, at the top of the world. There are many reasons why I want to be an artist. But, top state a few: 1. I want to do something that I love 2. I want to be able to meet all my idols (Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Jason Mraz etc. ) 3. I want to be able to do something for the world once I have got the money!
There! 3 reasons.
SO, I am just going to do a short one today. Exams are coming. Good luck boys and girls.
Peace, Ryan

Great!
Heyo! How yall doing? Selamat Hari Raya every muslim friend of mine! Hope you had a great day, yeah?
Anyways, Manchester United won 4 - 3 against Manchester City in one of the best matches I have ever seen. Michael Owen scored the winning goal! YEAAAHH!! Argh, my throat is freaking uncomfortable, screamed the whole match. What a match that was!
Ahh, at last. I got a response. Well, valid reason. So, we are looking for a great day next week on Friday for the taking of the video. Come on! Play that guitar, learn that song, sing it loud, find random people, record, mix video and done! Send!
Oh, exams are coming!
Hmm, you know what would make tomorrow's holiday a great, great day? He suddenly can play the guitar for both songs perfectly, she can sing it very well, we can listen to each other. Selena read my blog and decided to answer all my questions! Maybe she would do a webcam with me. Ahh, that would be a great day. Oh oh, and plus my studies. Suddenly, I know everything and my music, my voice improved. Ahh, mark my words, that would be a great day.
You know, if I get to do the webcam, that would be great. I've got so many questions! Ahh, I love Sel!
Why am I suddenly thinking of you? (Not Sel) Hmm. Anyways, I'm off. Good night!
Peace, Ryan
Saturday, September 19, 2009 @ 11:58 PM
Oh! Btw,
Heyo again. Umm, I just wanted to add a few things.
So, have you ever wanted things to go your way for once? Just once. Like maybe to be able to be an artist. YOUNG artist like starting, umm, now! Or when you play striker and wishes that someone to please, please pass to you and let you show what you can do? Just want to leave this as a question to think about.
Oh, I would like to apologize to Rahman for pushing him too hard. I mean, who am I to push you to the limit? So, sorry.
AND, just being random. You know, if I could just let Selena see this, I would ask her these questions. 1. Will you ever do a song with a fan? 2. Would you sing with a fan? 3. Would you help a fan to launch a career? 4. Will you fan ever become your best friend? And if that fan is a 15 year old guy? 5. Will you be coming to Singapore or Jakarta, Indonesia for the tour next year? and there are more where that came from. Muahaha! Oh well, nights!
P.S. Love, love, love, love, love, love Selena. My cousins (and friends) call me gay, but who cares? She's my idol. Muahaha! =D
Peace, Ryan
Heyo people! How you doing? I've been umm, busy. Friday was supposed to be a big day. But, it ended up as a frustrating day. We could not record anything. Basically, we did not do anything that concerns the competition. A few reasons. Not telling any of them. I cannot blame anyone except for one person, myself. I did not plan it thoroughly. I needed to trust people who I know would be able to be trusted. I needed to understand that the guitarist is also still a learning guitarist so, I should give him more time. So, we've decided to do it next week. I pray that everything will go smoothly and go as planned and people who are supposed to be there, has to be there. And we will not be lost, and just get it over with and win the prize(s).
Friday didn't end there. This lady and that lady security guard. Argh! Never mind.
Today's been normal. Just the normal life. Nothing special. Basically, I am just trying to make sure that everything would be perfect next week. So, if I irritate anyone, I will say sorry in advance first. Oh, we've chosen my confirmation name. So, my full name would be Dominicus Raphael Ryan Kristianto Wirayadi. Yes, it is very, very long.
Oh oh, and today (Saturday) well, I am not sure yet. But, if it is true then, Selena and Demi are in my extended network on my windows live. Ahhh! Excited. Especially with Selena! I love, love, love, love, love, love, love Selena! Trying to look for Taylor and Nick J. Gosh, I'm gay. Hah!
Oh, I have started to record some songs ontp the computer. I've got 3 on my dad's laptop while 1 on the desktop. I've been using my dad's laptop.
OKAY then, its getting really late and I'm very tired. Good night, yall!
Peace, Ryan

Life so far
Heyo people! How ya'll doing? So anyways, I got the picture done today! For the video thing! I mean, for the promotion. Yes! Hah! I would like to thank my cousin for helping me to design it and actually created it.
So, Wednesday and Thursday have been filled with well, as usual, the same crap. Studies, music etc. But, not going to talk about life. So, what's going on in the world of soccer? They are currently calling Rooney a diver. I don't like it when he is called a diver. ): What about the world of entertainment? Well, I am not sure. Hah!
Selena and The Scene had their very first live web chat together for the first time. I watched it and they looked like very fun people. She sang the acoustic version of Falling Down. My Saviour! Hah! Tomorrow's going to be tight, hoopefully fun, successful and I hope that everyone who's supposed to be there or invited to be there, will actually be there.
Well, I'm going to do a rather short one today. That's all folks!
Peace, Ryan
Tuesday, September 15, 2009 @ 8:50 PM
Don't know what to feel or...
Heyo people! What's up? So, another great day. School was reasonable. I had a blast in class while, being able to talk to "Sel" really helped me to concentrate. Sure, I'm not sure whether she's real or not but, as I said before, I'm just going to pretend she's real (if she was fake), just to make myself happy (well, at least till I know the real Sel) . Still got lots of question to ask but, I might not be able to bring the BlackBerry to school again tomorrow. *sigh* I really need to find out whether she's real and if not, I need to find the real Sel and Taylor. Hah!
Anyways, I didn't go to training today. There are 2 reasons. 1. My knee suddenly started to hurt again. 2. When I reach home, it was already 2pm. The guys told me that training starts at 2pm. I want to play in next week match!
Next, Friday might not even be a go. I really want to finish this promotion thing by this week cause, as I said many times before, exams are coming. I need to do 2 songs. So, I'll be troubling Rahman a lot. Especially with Falling Down. My female vocalist, Vinia, hasn't confirm with me whether she could make it. I need her to be able to come and sing Falling Down. And especially the fact that we need to change the song to another type genre, its just almost impossible.
Well, then. My parents are coming back to Singapore. Apparently they brought my Grandfather along with them.
SO, there are a few things I need to do. The promotion, break into school team as striker, school work, finding the real Selena and well, the last one, I am not telling. Hah! Well, I'm done!
Peace, Ryan
Monday, September 14, 2009 @ 8:34 PM
Post number 10
Heyo people! How ya'll doing? This is my 10th post! Hah!
Well, I've got myself a female vocalist for the promotion competition for the cover of that song. Really need to work on that one, a lot. But, I'm aiming to finish everything by Friday or at least this week. Might be impossible, but earliest by this week cause well, exams are coming. So, two songs. "Promotion Song" and "Falling Down". Design for the video and vocals all I have asked my cousins to help. Just have to keep reminding them so that they don't forget about it.
Wow, I was talking to "Sel" today. It was really fun. Asked her a number of questions. She answered it pretty well. Asked "Sel" for Taylor's, Demi's and Nick J's email. She gave me Demi's and Nick's. But, I don't know. I still can't confirm its her. I hope its her but, I don't know. But, it was fun anyways and her anwers are all very encouraging.
This week is a great week for all of my idols. Selena won an emmy while, Taylor got a number nominations for CMA awards and won a VMA award. But, Kanye West ruined her moment. Go to YouTube to find out more. While for soccer, Michael Owen still has not been playing. But Rooney scored and won, Gerrard won, Kaka won, Messi scored and won, and Villa scored and won!
Well, first day of final term and exams are getting closer and closer. Still have no idea why I can't concentrate. Always music, music, music. I need to sing. Sing out loud. I am totally lost in classes. I need to concentrate, focus man, Focus! That's why I need to finish the promotion thing quick, so I ask all those guys for your co-operation please.
So, yeah. To celebrate my 10th post, I promise myself I'm going to post a recording of myself on this blog. (soon) Hah! Well, I'm off.
Peace, Ryan
Sunday, September 13, 2009 @ 9:58 PM
Checking in
Heyo people! How you doing? So, I'm going to take time. Just to check in. Because soon, I might not be able to blog for quite a while. Anyways, today was great! I might have actually spoken to Taylor Swift. Yes, one and only Taylor Swift who got nominated for 4 CMA Awards. Yes, that Taylor Swift. She's also one of my idols, along with Selena of course.
Well, even though till now I am not sure whether selenamariekayleighgomez2009@hotmail.com is the real Selena email. Well, a friend told me to just pretend she is the real Selena. And till now, that's what I've been doing. Hah! Anyways, I greeted her just now in the morning. Then the reply says that 'hi, I'm not Selena.' and she says 'I'm Taylor.' Well, hard to believe, yes, cause there isn't a hard concrete evidence. But, as I said, just pretend. Haha!
Well, about the competition. Planning is all under way. A friend and I are planning, making it perfect. Oh, now we might be in need of a female vocalist. Someone who has a nice voice (at least) and not tone deaf. Basically, we're doing the song I wrote and her own track "Falling Down", try to make acoustic version. Its going to be hot!
Currently in love with a movie "Spectacular!" The songs are tight. And a show called "Glee". Apparently, both are on the same thing, show choir. So, there are some mad vocals! Well, yeah! Haha!
Peace, Ryan

The story of my life (currently ): Music and...(2)
Heyo people! How you doing? So, life's been great. The competition planning is on the way. Its going to be a simple one though, we'll see. Today, my family and I had a small gathering downstairs. Two of my cousins, my sister and I chatted downstairs till 11.30. It was fun, very fun. Then, my cousin came over to watch soccer. Arsenal lost to Man Shitty 4-2. And after 90 mins+ worth of beautiful football, Man United beats Tottenham 3-1. Glory Glory Man United!
So, love for music has been increasing every single second. Its not a pleasant feeling especially with exams coming really soon. I have to study but, gosh, it is hard. Really hard. For this episode, I will say the story of my life is music and my idol. My idol is one person, a 17 year old girl named Selena Gomez. Well, I am not going to say anything much about her but well, yeah.
I've been dying to make a song that actually says everything that I am feeling. About school, girls, music, family and friends. That would be great. Maybe a new melody should be in place. Well, yeah.
Peace,
Ryan

The story of my life (currently ): Music and...
Heyo people! How you doing? So, today the dudes came over. No gals though. Haha! It was very fun, but very, very hot. As usual, play pool. I didn't play cause I played an hour myself, alone, waiting for them.
So, that has nothing to do with my title, this is going to be a continuous thing. I mean, there would be episodes for this type of blogs. I'm going to post and just let go here.
Basically, music has been the thing that hit me for the past two years. Usually, it was always dreaming about something stupid like being a soccer player, or tennis professional player or an astronomer etc. Well, now its different. Because, I can actually see myself, as an artist. Going around the world, recording songs, doing something that I love. Really, really love. Music, just a simple melody, a simple song maybe. Just music.
I am not actually being desperate, or seeking attention or being a loser (like what my, nvm). I want to be heard, I want my voice heard. But, I am not even sure whether it is actually nice. Currently, I have to study, I have to do something that I don't love, at all. I'm pretty sure everyone doesn't like school. I love school, actually and I love to study new stuff. But, its not really where my heart is. But, I will need to learn and study and at least reach a satisfying great that could at least make my parents happy. But, whenever I open a book, I'll get distracted by music. Music in my heart and unwritten lyrics in my mind. Sure, my melody isn't that nice yet and basically all my song is based on what melody, which I would just improvise to make it sound different. So, this is me, about music. I need to study while I do music. But, both are actually quite identical, I'm not perfect in both and I have to learn to be better and deal with the pressure. So, yeah.
Well, I decided that once I have perfected some songs, I'll post in on my blog first and get reaction from friends. Then, I'll go to youtube. And about that competition, I have decided to do something simple, a song. That song. I'll need to record it though, and I would need an audience. So yeah, that's it.
Peace,
Ryan

Angry with these websites
Heyo people! How you doing? I am not feeling at the best of moods today. Well, if you read my previous blog, it explains a little. So, facebook and twitter. Yes, these two are two of the most popular social networking sites in the world. And guess what, I think both of them crashed at the wrong time cause I couldn't log in to any of them! I totally couldn't log in. I tried at 5.50 am then I tried at 6.00 am, then I tried at 7.00 am all the way till 8.00 am and during the whole webcast. I couldn't go in. So, I don't know why, but I'm really angry. Very angry. I think it is because I've been waititng for this webcast for so long and at last, all I could do was watch and let other people ask questions while I can't. How did those people ask her questions anyways?
But anyways, the webcast was great! At least I got to see her, I mean I've seen her but, this time LIVE! Haha! I mean, I found it fun, you guys might find it boring. But, try to find an idol and if they ever do a webcast and you watch it, tell me whether you think it is fun or boring. Some unknown dude or gal actually helped me ask a few of the questions that I wanted to ask. The most important one was this. Some person asked for advice from her. That person said, " My dream job is to beccome a singer, any advice? " And she replied, " Be passionate about it, you have to be passionate and just focus on that. Lot of people need to handle rejection well too because, there are a lot of mean people out there, which is something you probably already know. " But, the most important line is, " Just focus on what you love, and if its singing, focus on it. " And yes, I will listen to you. I am and will be going to do that.
P.S. http://apps.facebook.com/selenagomezlive/ The URL to her webcast. Watch it if you've got nothing to do. Skip to 28:50 if you are watching the full version. (third one, the right one.)
Peace,
Ryan
Heyo! How you doing, people? Yes, its me again (obviously). My third blog in 1 day and it ended in disappointment, frustration and embarrasment. Apparently the webcast is tomorrow in Singapore time 8am. My cousin told me, and the people in Facebook told me. *sigh* Darn it! You see, the problem is that tomorrow morning I've got tuition AT 8am! Why me? Why? All I want is to see my inspiration. I got everything prepared! And now I'll have to do something about this. I have to watch her live. NOTHING WILL STOP ME!
Peace,
Ryan
Wednesday, September 9, 2009 @ 4:13 PM
Okay. Can't get back to Afternoon nap because,
Heyo! How you doing? Yeah, I know. I just posted my previous one a few hours ago. But, there is a few reasons why I am doing this.
1. I can't get back to my afternoon nap.
2. I think I am loving blogging now. Yeah, a little slow but, well yeah. Heh.
3. I got this thing that keep telling me to go and work on the competition. My heart and mind are feeling all uncomfortable. So, that's what I am going to do.
I am going to do a slide right after school reopens but, this one I would need the teachers' support. Just show the slide, no need to say anything. Give the slide a few minutes and I would need to shoot it (Record it, whatever). Next the shirt, I am only doing one shirt. (Maybe, if my cousin doesn't go back on his word.) I would probably be wearing it underneath any shirt I'll be using and I am certainly using it at home. Okay it makes the shirt sounds smelly. Hah. I need to get all these evidence. But, I wouldn't be able to do it alone. So, maybe one or two or three people could give me a hand? Help a brother out yeah? Haha. So, yeah. I am so addicted to this. Anyways, gotta run.
Peace,
Ryan
Heyo! How you doing, people? I'm just really bored right now. Haha! Anyways, today is Wednesday, date 9th September 2009. Do you know what that means? That's right! Selena's third webcast and I am, after a very long wait, going to watch it! But, one problem, how? I know it is in Facebook but, what do I click? Oh well, I'll just check on twitter, maybe she'll send in the link or something. Or maybe Facebook itself. We'll see. Cause, it is like weird, Her tabs are all gone. The "Selena Live" and "Promotion" tabs are gone.
This blog might be containing too many songs but, I just want things to be filled with music. Lots of 'em. Once I can record (good record) my own music, I will try to post it on this blog or make a MySpace Music account or just post it on one of my favourite websites ever, YouTube! What do you guys think?
Oh oh! I, finally, finished that promotion song for that "competition". The song is pretty complicated, funny to sing and surely one of the hardest song to write. Reason? I am not sure why. Haha! But, I am so going to record that one and maybe win top 10 prize which is an autographed album. And then if those fans vote for me, I'll get a phone call. And if mine is the best, I'll get 4 tickets to any of her concert! Ahh. That's why I am going to do something else for the "competition". That I will leave as a suprise. Oh well, I'm done for now. I think I'll post again tonight. This is more fun than I thought it would be.
Peace,
Ryan

2nd Post (1st OFFICIAL post)
Heyo! How you doing? Yes, its me, one and only Ryan Kristianto Wirayadi. Well, this is me my first OFFICIAL post. Credits go to Hikam who helped me do the starting of the blog and then Aliya who helped me do the finishing touches. Thank you!
Anyways, my life has been pretty much the same crap. Repeated over and over again. The best was Friday of course. The dudes and gals came over to my place to play some pool and then ended up playing a short true or dare thing. And I felt sick cause I had too much cheetos. Hah! Good times, good times. Monday was one of the longest day ever. Basically all I did was try to survive the day. Study, eat, sleep, listen to music, eat, play some guitar, go out a little and then somehow the day hasn't end. Anyways, today: I started the day well. Went out with my family to have some breakfast over at OldTown. And then I went into the toilet with the family's BlackBerry to see, on msn, Selena was online. Chatted a little and then she had to go off. Haha! Oh yeah, did I mention my TV outside can, at last, play a full video? YouTube video? I watched Falling Down on LED TV, it was GREAT! Muahahaha. Well, got to go now. Still got to live my life.
Peace, Ryan.
