 YE LIVE IN JAKARTA Set to Welcome 77,000 Fans for Southeast Asia's Biggest Concert Weekend

Raw Vision Collective Announces YE LIVE IN JAKARTA – Bringing YE's Iconic Globe Stage to Gelora Bung Karno

Jakarta, 27 July 2026 – Raw Vision Collective announced YE LIVE IN JAKARTA 2026, bringing global musician and cultural icon YE, formerly known as Kanye West, to Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) Main Stadium on Saturday, 24 October 2026. As Jakarta currently stands as YE's only Southeast Asian stop on YE’s 2026 tour, the event is set to welcome up to 77,000 fans from across the region for one of the year's most anticipated live entertainment experiences. Tickets will go on sale on Wednesday, 29 July at 10:00 AM WIB (GMT+7) via yejakarta.com. 

As YE's currently only Southeast Asian stop in 2026 (https://tour.yeezy.com/), Jakarta offers fans across the region one of the easiest and most accessible concert destinations. With direct flights from Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Manila, Ho Chi Minh City, and Sydney, official Ticket + Hotel packages, and an integrated transportation network connecting Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to Gelora Bung Karno (GBK), the city is designed to welcome international visitors for a seamless concert weekend. For fans across the region, this is not only a trip to Indonesia. This is the nearest the Globe Stage gets to where they are.

Featuring YE's signature Globe Stage, the concert will transform Gelora Bung Karno (GBK) Main Stadium into an immersive 360-degree live experience that has become synonymous with YE's artistic identity. More than a conventional concert production, the Globe Stage places audiences at the heart of the performance, blurring the boundaries between artist and audience through an innovative fusion of music, visuals, and storytelling. With a capacity of 77,000, Gelora Bung Karno is one of Southeast Asia's largest and most iconic stadiums, providing the scale and cultural significance to host a production of this magnitude.

"Bringing YE to Jakarta is not only about bringing one of the world's most influential musicians to Indonesia. YE LIVE IN JAKARTA is more than a concert, it's an invitation for fans across Southeast Asia and Australia to experience Jakarta through one unforgettable weekend of world-class live entertainment, while giving fans from Indonesia and across the region the opportunity to be part of a truly historic live performance,” said Micha Ananda, CEO, Raw Vision Collective

For more than two decades, YE has been recognized as one of the defining figures pushing the boundaries of music and popular culture. His work has helped shape the landscape of modern hip-hop while influencing the worlds of fashion, design, and creative culture. His latest album, Bully, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, is a testament to the continued global attention surrounding his work and influence. Combined with an artistic approach known for large-scale visuals and stage productions, each YE performance has become a highly anticipated experience for music fans around the world.

"Every YE concert is designed as an experience, not simply a music performance. The Globe Stage is a key element that draws audiences into the creative world he has built. We want audiences from Jakarta, across Southeast Asia and Australia to experience that same sense of immersion, something spectacular and unforgettable. We believe 'YE LIVE IN JAKARTA' will be one of the most highly anticipated live entertainment events of the year,” said Karen Tjahja, Marketing & Communications Lead, Raw Vision Collective

ALL GOOD INTENTIONS

WHEN someone says they have “good intentions”, it typically means they mean well or have positive motives behind their actions or words. It suggests that they aim to do something beneficial or kind, even if the outcome does not always align with what they intended.

When working with people, assume good intentions. When listening to them, interpret their words generously. You will occasionally get burned or mistreated by always assuming the best in others, but it is still a far better way to live than assuming the worst.

Many of us begin a new year with resolutions: to get fit, learn a new skill or eat differently. But if we truly want to do these things, why wait for an arbitrary date that marks nothing more significant than a timekeeping convention?

British psychologist Tom Stafford has asked this question, and he is not alone. The answer reveals something important about the psychology of motivation and what popular theories of self-control overlook.

At bedtime, you may intend to get up early and go for a run, but when the alarm sounds, you discover that what you really want is to sleep longer.

As exam day approaches, you may wish you were the kind of person who had spent every afternoon studying, yet on each of those afternoons, you preferred to spend time with friends on social media.

We could view these contradictions as failures of self-control: impulses for immediate pleasure somehow override our long-term interests.

One well-known theory of self-control, proposed by Roy Baumeister of Florida State University, is the “ego-depletion” account. It holds that self-control is like a muscle that can be exhausted in the short term. Thus, every temptation you resist supposedly makes you more likely to yield to the next one, even if that temptation involves something entirely different.

A corollary of the “self-control as a muscle” theory is that willpower can be strengthened through practice over time. Baumeister, for example, found that people instructed to keep their backs straight whenever possible for two weeks demonstrated improved willpower when they returned to the laboratory.

More importantly, however, the theory does not explain why we wait until New Year’s Day to begin exercising self-control. If willpower is a muscle, we should start strengthening it as soon as possible rather than wait for an arbitrary date.

Another explanation may answer this question, although it is not as fashionable as ego depletion. In his book “Breakdown of Will”, George Ainslie presents a theory of the self and self-control that uses game theory to explain why we struggle with our impulses and why our attempts to control them take the forms they do. The blank page of a new calendar creates a clean break between the old and new versions of ourselves — a psychological boundary that may help us keep our resolutions.

To borrow Stafford’s phrasing once more, Ainslie offers an answer to why our resolutions so often begin on January 1. The date is entirely arbitrary, but it draws a clear line between our old and new selves. The theory’s practical lesson is that a resolution should be framed so that, at any moment, it is absolutely clear whether we are keeping it. Such lines may be arbitrary, but they help preserve the truce among our competing interests.

“The road to hell is paved with good intentions” is a familiar proverb. An alternative version says, “Hell is full of good meanings, but heaven is full of good works.”

WORLD DAY FOR GRANDPARENTS AND THE ELDERLY

 The Pastoral Care for the Elderly Ministry of the Diocese of Tandag joins the Universal Church in celebrating the 6th World Day for Grandparents and the Elderly 2026 with the inspiring theme: “I will never forget you” (Isaiah 49:15)

In his message, Pope Leo XIV reflects on God's promise in Isaiah and acknowledges that many elderly people experience loneliness and feel forgotten by society. Yet God assures every person that they are engraved on the palms of His hands and are never abandoned.

The Holy Father calls the Church to become a welcoming family where older persons are loved, valued, and accompanied. He reminds us that old age is not a burden but a vocation. Even in weakness and fragility, the elderly continue to bear witness to faith, inspire younger generations, and become powerful intercessors for peace through their prayers.

Pope Leo XIV also urges families and communities to strengthen the bond between generations, ensuring that grandparents are not left in isolation but remain active participants in the life of the Church. Finally, he entrusts all grandparents and elderly people to the Lord, praying that they may continually be renewed in faith, hope, and love, confident that God never forgets His children.

I LOVE MY LIFE!

"Love my life" is a phrase expressing profound personal fulfillment, gratitude, and happiness. It means actively embracing your circumstances, finding joy in everyday moments rather than waiting for perfection, and practicing self-acceptance. Saying "you're the love of my life" can be done in many ways depending on the vibe you want. You can go the direct route, use creative alternatives, or express it casually through meaningful actions.

 

If you want to be completely clear and romantic, there are several timeless ways to express exactly how you feel.

Sometimes, we feel our life is turning miserably. Especially now. Living with the big "C"! Our negativism doesn't allow us to keep our eyes, ears - and, most important! - our minds, hearts and souls opened. We're reaching our breaking point. Me and you!

Research shows that men tend to fall in love faster and more often than women. Studies reveal that men often develop feelings within a month of meeting someone, while women typically take longer. However, once women do fall in love, they tend to experience it more intensely and with deeper commitment

This breaking point can be the prelude to our strongest moment. Can be! Must not! But try it! Despite the virus! But if yes, then it is when we reach our breaking point,  we discover our real strength. Allow me to ask you, my dear readers: "What happens to you or with you when you reach your breaking point?" Do you face it or do you run away? I'll be giving you a very simple answer: If you face it - you break it. If you run away (and/or close your ears, eyes and mouth) - it breaks you!

Are you in love with life? No? Why not? Sure, in my previous column at this corner, I stated that it's okay if you feel bad. But many have taken this as a general instruction.

Everyday - a dull reality! Many of us will answer this question with a big YES! Actually, we do like to cover a newborn day already with a grey veil.But, each day has a new face, but sometimes we don't have the strength to watch its countenance. Of course, not every day has adventures and highlights. Would be really too easy!

Contrary to what might be expected, I look back on experiences that, at the same time, seemed especially desolating and painful with a particular satisfaction. Indeed, everything I have learned, everything that has truly enhanced and enlightened my existence, has been through affliction and not through happiness.

If it ever were to be possible to eliminate affliction from your earthly existence, the result would not be to make life delectable, but to make it too banal and trivial to be endurable.

By observation, we can feel that many of us need help to manage our everyday life. We need something that would keep us going as we journey through life. Many times we can also learn from other people and their experiences.

And here is one more thing: Affection is the humblest love - it gives itself no airs. It lives with humble and private things: soft slippers, old clothes, old jokes, and the thump of a sleepy dog's tail on the kitchen floor. The glory of affection, the disposition of mind, the good will and tender attachment, that can unite those who are not "made for one and another"! .

For me life has been a thing of ups and downs in approximately equal measure. I don't have something sensational to report every day about my progress. Often, I wonder if fulfillment in life is necessarily tied to change for the better. But one thing is for sure: I keep staying in love with life. Maybe you can feel my great optimism .... .

LIFE CHANGES DRAMATICALLY

 by Klaus  Döring

Being in online classes while teaching but in the daily home office, I experienced a total change when it comes to the digital body language:  cues you send – or don't send. Writer David Robson gets to the point in a nutshell: "Online, as in real-life, it's not just what you say – but how you say it".

Think about the last work email that you sent. Did its sentences end with full stops or exclamation marks, or did you forgo punctuation altogether? Was it peppered with emoji – or plain text? And was your response prompt, or did you have to apologise for the time it had taken to reply?

Now, consider your last Zoom call. Did you check your phone or email at least once during the meeting? And did you pause to be sure that the other speaker had finished? Or did you find yourself frequently interrupting their sentences, as you failed to take into account the slight delays in the connection?

According to the leadership expert Erica Dhawan, these are all examples of our “digital body language” – a concept that serves as the title of her new book. Like our in-person physical body language, digital body language concerns the subtle cues that signal things like our mood or engagement, and change the meaning of the words we say – be it in text, on the phone or in a video call.

Following David Robson, it is needless to say, the rise of remote working has only made these issues more urgent, but psychologists have long known that digital communication is ripe for misunderstanding.
So, what can be done? It’s indeed a question of mindfulness, so that we can be sure that our digital body language is intentional and appropriate to the situation at hand.

Do you like emojis?!? Well, first consider written communication, starting with the use of emoji and punctuation marks, like the exclamation point. Stylists may sneer, but many people (and include me in!) argue that they often help to clarify the meanings of the words themselves, much in the same way as a nodding head or a smirk in person. Whether you’re signalling urgency or excitement with ALL CAPS, impatience and irritation with an “?!?” or mutual appreciation with a fist-bump emoji, you are helping your text to convey the feelings you would have embodied in person.

It took me almost a whole year, but right now allow me to tell you: don’t feel shy about adopting these more informal digital cues, where appropriate – and be aware that others may well be expecting them.

Broadly, your use of punctuation and emojis are part of a bigger set of cues that will establish the tone of your exchanges – whether they feel formal or informal, enthusiastic or bored. Other signals will include your greetings (whether you include a friendly “Hello” at the start of the message or simply dive straight in), and your sign off (an emotionally distant “Regards” versus an enthusiastic “Thanks!”).

Honestly, sometimes I'm really getting tired of video calls and zoom meetings. They present their own unique problems. Your body language, manners and level of engagement on video-chat platforms can influence how colleagues see you and interpret your message. Even during my online teaching, I observed some students being absent-minded or even not being dressed well.

Whatever medium you use, you should remain conscious of two factors – trust and power – in all your interactions. These ratings will be subjective, of course, but if you sense there is a clear gap on either of these dimensions, you need to be more cautious.

In the past, the handshake, the smile and the smile gave us many well trusted signals,– but in online communication, our gratitude is often less apparent, or may not be expressed at all. Measures to remedy this could be as simple as sending a follow-up email, after a virtual meeting, to make it clear that you valued someone’s input, or cc’ing a junior colleague on an email to a client, acknowledging the role they played in a project. We can’t just assume that our colleagues will know how much we value them.

Erica Dhawan’s book Digital Body Language, is out now from St Martin’s Press. I learned a lot from her, especially perfecting our digital body language will take practice – but a few moments of thought each day may save hours of anxiety and confusion in the days and weeks ahead.

Since the pandemic, employees are leaving the workforce or switching jobs in droves. For many, employers have played a big part in why they're walking away. It's another big change in our business world. Read more about my thoughts in my next column here at this corner.
