It's kinda fun when you open your Google and surprise! There's a doodle! Be it celebrating a New Year Eve, Freddy Mercury's birthday, commemorating the Earth Day, Google Doodle always there to make your day. But did you know the story behind those cute and supercool doodles? Did you know what is exactly the Google Doodle?
According to Google, Doodles are the fun, surprising and sometimes spontaneous changes that are made to the Google logo to celebrate holidays, anniversaries and the lives of famous artists, pioneers and scientists. The idea was originated back in 1998 when Google founders Larry and Sergey played with the corporate logo to indicate their attendance at the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert. They placed a stick figure drawing behind the 2nd "o" in the word Google, and the revised logo was intended as a comical message to Google users that the founders were "out of office".
The First Doodle!!!
Then in 2000, Larry and Sergey asked current webmaster Dennis Hwang, an intern at the time, to produce a doodle for Bastille Day. It was so well received by our users that Dennis was appointed Google's chief doodler, and doodles started showing up more and more regularly on the Google homepage. Initially, doodles mostly celebrated familiar holidays; nowadays, they highlight a wide array of events and anniversaries from the Birthday of John James Audubon to the Ice Cream Sundae. They pick interesting events and anniversaries that reflect Google's personality and love of innovation to receive the doodles.
Currently, doodlers (team who created doodles in Google) has created over 1,000 doodles for Google homepages around the world. That makes me wonders who has the most completed collection of the doodles :D Here's some of my favorite. Which one is yours?
If Hollywood got Meet The Foster - The Movie, then in my Hollywood life i got Meet The Foster - Live in concert :D Foster The People will pay a visit to Jakarta and held a concert in Tennis Indoor this January. When i heard that they will have a concert here, in Jakarta, i thought it was a hoax. I mean, there's no way they would come whatsoever. I'm talking about that Foster The People here!
But when i found it was true, i decided that i have to be in Tennis Indoor Senayan on January 11 NO MATTER WHAT. So then i took a leave and stand in an never ending queue line with bunch of abegongs (teenagers) to get the ticket. I stood there for like 5 hours (no kidding!) and thankfully, managed to save 2 tickets.
When i was struggling to get my golden ticket, i met this girl named Nana which reminds me of my favorite short story - Nana dkk in Kawanku magazine back then. Nana (my fellow Foster fans), work in Rock and Roll Hair Cutting in Bandung as a hair dresser (how cool is that?!). I was so lucky that i met her when i was drop dead clueless on what i should i do while queuing for the tickets. She was such a good company!
Just like me, Nana also bought 2 tickets, one of them is for her boyfie who had no idea that she came all the way from Bandung to Jakarta to surprise her boyfie with the concert ticket. So sweet and thoughtful of her! Hopefully i'll get the chance to meet that sweet couple on the concert day :D
It's 3 more days left and i'm excited like a jumping bunny - can hardly wait to hear them play my favorite song, Houdini, live. Until then, please enjoy this vid taken from Vevo - Houdini by Foster The People :)
Found this movie when i was watching Daniel Henney's first movie debut on mysoju: Seducing Mr. Perfect. It was popped up so frequently i got distracted by Daniel's expression in the movie poster.
I saw Daniel's first performance in My Name Sam-soon and didn't see anything special except he speaks English very well it sounds like a music to my ear.But then I get curious (not obsessed yet!) with this American-Korean actor as his name was appeared in IMDB for his role in X-Men Origins: Wolverine as Agent Zero. I know what'd you think: Daniel Henney is so hot (sorry for being so tacky), and i agree that he should be classified as one of the major cause of global warming :P
But i don't write this post to talk about his awesomeness, we got plenty of time to do that later. I want you to know about his movie called "My Father", which inspired by a true story of Aaron Bates, who was adopted by American family when he was six. Aaron then decided to joined the Army to find his biological parents in Korea. Turned out that his father is a murderer waiting for his death penalty.
Daniel Henney plays the lead role of James Parker (Aaron Bates), who works as a volunteer in the United States armed forces in Korea. He asks questions of why his father is on death row and finds out things that he always wanted to know especially about his mother. Then he finds more and more truths unravel about his father and his life.
Daniel's acting performance in this movie was really stunning, you'll blend with the plot you need piles of tissues to wipe your tears as his emotion was completely intense you'll think "Man, that's what i called acting!". Maybe that's why he got his role in X-Men, his acting progress was rated as 5 stars out of 5! I totally recommend you to watch it - take my words for it. I swear by Google, it was worth watching!
Okie dokie, won't waste your time by reading my post any longer, click this link below and enjoy the movie! And oh, don't forget the tissue and give a bone crasher hug to your parents afterwards ;)
