Secondhand Serenade formed by Visely in 2004 in his home town in Menlo Park, California, USA. His dad is a professional jazz musician. He played bass in local bands about eight years. Then he opted for an acoustic guitar. He was starting to write his songs when he met his wife, Candice Visely. They have two sons. But unfortunately this couple broke up in 2008. And John Visely was really heart broken, and he made many sad songs as a reference to the divorce in "A Twist in My Story" album.

The first album was released in 2004. The title is Awake. This albums gave Visely his first chartings, debuting at #16 on Billboard's Top Heatseekers chart and more successful at #164 on the Billboard 200, #3 on the Top Heatseekers, and #19 on the Independent Albums chart.

The third album or the newest album is Hear Me Now. It was released in 2010. Visely said "Secondhand Serenade - singer/songwriter John Visely return with his third album, Hear Me Now, out on August 3rd on ILG/Glassnote. Eight of eleven songs on the album were produced by Aaron Johnson (The Fray) at Swing House studion in Los Angeles. The other three, including the first single "Something More" were produced by John Visely himself along Secondhand drumer Tom Breyfogle at Visely's home studio and mix by Mark Endert (Train, Maroon5)". On July 27, 2010 John Visely added eleven tracks off of the new album to his MySpace and made them available for fans. The next single of the new album is a new version You and I featuring Cady Groves.

Many songs of Secondhand Serenade inspired me and helped me to learn English more. I think songs are the biggest effects that learned me English. When I listening to song, I learned the lyrics an then I can pronounced it, because I already knew and heard how to pronounce it correctly. I made a playlist on my cellphone just for Secondhand Serenade's songs. :p

Thanks John Visely, thanks Secondhand Serenade, and thanks Miss Silvana. c:

Football

we must have a strategy to play this game :)

Now I'll tell you about the most sport that very popular in the world ! Yeah, you're right !! It is football. Football is sport for men. Football is a team sport, so we must work together between players to be the winners. Fans of this sport is men. but now, woman also loves this sport. they loves this sport because the football players is handsome :D haha...

The leader of football is a referee. Number of referee is 3. 1 of them for holding of the game. 2 of them for linesman.  The number of football players is 11. Football played in a grassy field. The field is rectangle with size 91.4 x 54.8 meter. in two sides of field, there are two wickets. the wicket's size is 7,32 x 2,44 meter. Long of the game is 2x45 minutes, so the players must have good stamina :) But sometimes, the referee give extension of time.
Each of team has different clothes. every 4 years, there are a World Cup. World cup is inter-state football game. in 2010, the winners of World cup is Spain. damn....
last year, Indonesia didn't participate World cup. I hope in 2014, Indonesia can join it. :)

Things That I Like-Nindy

TV Cinema

Hello all ...
Now I wanna tell you about TV cinemas. In Indonesia, there're many TV cinemas. Most of TV cinemas here have same story. The story always about riches, treasure, vanity, betrayal, and greed about love :*
The greedy character always be the faint. The poor character always trampled. Why I hate TV cinema ? Because I think TV cinema is bad program in the television. I prefer the cartoon rather than TV cinemas. 

cinta fitri

My families don't like TV cinemas. They like a comedy very much, actually me. do you know ? there are some people who watch TV cinema until they fall down their tears :) oh My God \('o')/
The story of TV cinemas always get criticism from the community. Because They think if the film director don't have different ideas -,- so bad ...
When I browse in the internet, TV cinemas in Indonesia that have long episodes until 2006 is Tersanjung. Tersanjung has 356 episodes and play in television for 6 years 11 months (1998-2005). OMG ! maybe Tersanjung has many fans but not me ! :D After Tersanjung, now in 2011 Indonesia has Cinta Fitri. This TV cinema is very popular here -,-
The seasons until 7. Our ex president, BJ Habibie loves this TV cinema...Besides Cinta Fitri and Tersanjung, Indonesia also has the others..hahaha :D and I don't like them too --'
