[Earth Hour] Saturday 28th March 2009 08.30pm to 09.30pm

I vote for Earth!

What is Earth Hour? You may ask.
Earth Hour is global event organized by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature, also known as World Wildlife Fund) and is held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change. (Taken from : Wikipedia).

This event is an opportunity to use the light switch as a vote – Switching off your lights is a vote for Earth, or leaving them on is a vote for global warming. Now which side are you?

Earth Hour 2009 was on last Saturday 28th March 2009, and it began at 08.30 pm to 09.30 pm local time. And at this year, Indonesia is one of the country that participated this event. Although not every citizen aware of this Earth Hour campaign, but at least the message had reach through this nation and many of them responded to it, including me and Bugz.

We decided to play fireworks during the Earth Hour and it was fun. Of course there are other many things that you can choose to do, i remember i got an invitation from Facebook, to mass defecation during the Earth Hour haha so silly, but while searching for candles, we found this fireworks. It was fun, and didn't realize that it was almost 09.30 pm.

We think we should do this again! Although my neighbours didn't participate the event, but we felt great that we were. Some people here complaining that, "why we should do this stupid Earth Hour thing while almost everyday our local electric company is already shut our electricity not even one hour but hours?" and some says "Why is our nation willingly to participate this event and be ruled by other country for doing this?". Let me tell you my friend, it is not about that. It is your choice to do it or not, and also this not a must. This is only between you and your vote. Dont ever include other reasons to it. If you choose No then dont, period. All i ever wanted is to stand up and take control over the future of our planet. So, i vote for Earth.

Amazing performance by Jason Mraz, Grooveline Horns and team. The songs that he sang as far as I remember are Make it Mine, The Remedy mashed with Wonderwall by Oasis sooo cooll , Unfold, You and I Both, Lucky duet with Dira (She sang so good), Bella Luna, Beautiful Mess, Good Job, Im yours, errr kinda forgot I guess (CMIIW) it is Nothing can stop us and ended with my fav song Butterfly. The people are so crowded there. And Jason Mraz’s voice is soo great better than the CD. Seriously, his voice is so clear.

Actually I was waiting for him to sing Live High or Love for a child, but overall, I really love Jason Mraz performance. Kinda craving for more that I almost buy the Saturday special ticket and it already cost over than 1 million rupiah, geezzz. Kinda regret why I didn’t buy the Saturday special also (YOU’RE BROKE CHEETZ!! THAT’S THE ANSWER hehehe).

And before the end if the show, Jason Mraz introduced the team and took a polaroid photo each of them and threw it out to the audience. I really really wish that i could get Jason Mraz’s picture but too bad I didn’t get it. The one who got it was sooo lucky and I envy her/him grrrrr. And he also threw his towel hahahaha, no doubt it is going to be smelly but hey, It’s Mraz hihihihihihihi.

I also got a chance to take a picture with Fernando Castillo, one of the Grooveline Horns and enjoyed talking with him as if he was a long friend of mine. I was hoping that I could take a picture with Jason Mraz himself but he didn’t go to the lobby at that time while his team are actually there. Forgive me with a tired look face, really exhausted and not to mention sooo thirsty at that time. Great performance guys!! Come back again to Jakarta and sing with us.
