Officially Named "J'adore Ames"

After a long thinking and asking for opinions from buddies, we finally found the right name for us, Nadine fans. Yep, nothing is more precise than J'adore Ames.

This name is much associated with Nadine's French language skills possession, this name also symbolizes our love to the one and only, Nadine Alexandra Dewi Ames.

Honestly speaking, we certainly hope that she also loves us right?

To those who are still curious, now we tell that the name J'adore Ames has also been personally picked by Nadine after we gave three recommendations. The rest were NADA Lovers and Nadine AmesZer.

J'adore Ames is a story about the midnite chit-chat between Smita and Bli Bagus from IP forum. It was out of the mouth of Bli, he was the one who chose that name when Smita was confused to choose the Fans Club name with French-sounding. Thank you, Bli :)

It's because of you, Nadine has been started to exist in cyber world!

One more name suggestion came from another Nadine heavy supporter since before the PI 2010 quarantine. Bintani (we call him CoCo) told us undebatable name, it's really cool: NADA Lovers ("NADA means Nadine Alexandra Dewi Ames," he says). Unfortunately, one name should be chosen. But you do not need to be disappointed CoCo... Nadine herself has said that she likes the first two names :)

So where did Nadine AmesZer come from? Having confused of the final decision, Smita tried to not separate the word Nadine with Ames. Because these two words are defining Nadine's personality. Nah, affix -Zer was inspired by Britney's song, Womanizer. Of this idea, Smita just can't help but laugh now :)

When we asked the Princess, she was very enthusiastic and open. Yes, this is probably our luck :)

She likes the first two, she said. What's interesting is that the discussion was ON between us. We're very happy with a warm welcome from her.

@NadaNala Thank you so much dear :) Stay with us ya! Forever <3

Jaga Rasa Nasionalisme


Puteri Indonesia 2010 Nadine Alexandra Dewi Ames memang belum lancar berbahasa Indonesia. Dalam berbagai kesempatan, dia mengakui kekurangannya tersebut. Namun, hal itu tidak bisa menjadi ukuran bahwa penari hip hop tersebut diragukan membawa bendera Merah Putih di kancah mancanegara.

“Rasa nasionalisme saya tinggi. Jangan dilihat dari (tutur) bahasanya,” kata Nadine saat ditemui Rakyat Merdeka (Jawa Pos Group) di Jakarta kemarin (18/11). Nadine mengatakan hingga saat ini masih belajar bahasa Indonesia. Puteri Indonesia ke-15 itu kadang terlihat masih kaku mengutarakan beberapa kalimat berbahasa Indonesia. “Saya tidak putus asa. Setiap hari saya belajar sama teman-teman dan ibu,’’ tutur gadis kelahiran 23 Mei 1991 itu. Nadine pantas belum fasih berbahasa Indonesia karena sebagian besar hidupnya dihabiskan di tanah kelahirannya di Inggris.

Bagi Nadine, mahkota Puteri Indonesia 2010 adalah anugerah yang harus dijaga secara serius. Selain rajin belajar bahasa Indonesia, mahasiswi jurusan Film and Screen Studies, Bath Spa University, Inggris, semester tiga itu berusaha tetap bugar agar bisa menjalani aktivitasnya sebagai Putri Indonesia. Caranya, rajin berolahraga dan mengonsumsi multivitamin. “Ada (banyak) agenda kami mengunjungi beberapa daerah. Tapi, untung saya sudah terbiasa banyak minum multivitamin dan olahraga,” kata Nadine.

Nadine menyatakan tak kewalahan menjaga stamina tubuhnya agar tetap bugar. “Saya kan memang penari hip hop, itu adalah olahraga dan sekaligus senang-senang buat saya. Itu adalah jenis olahraga yang bisa buat ekspresi dan energik. Saya juga bisa tari Bali dan balet, dulu waktu kecil pernah les tari Bali,’’tuturnya.

Ketika Nadine Alexandra Berbicara Busana Muslim


Puteri Indonesia 2010 Nadine Alexandra Dewi Ames memutuskan untuk mengunjungi Jambi. Ini adalah daerah di luar Jawa yang dikunjungi putri asal DKI Jakarta ini untuk pertama kali setelah terpilih sebagai Puteri Indonesia pada 9 Oktober 2010.

Kedatangan Nadine ke Jambi berkaitan dengan sebuah event yang disiapkan Kementerian Koordinator Perekonomian dan Perhimpunan Masyarakat Jambi, yakni Peragaan Busana Muslim dengan Cita Rasa Jambi. Nadine tiba di Jambi pada Senin (15/11/2010) pagi.

Kehadirannya ini menarik perhatian peserta dan panitia penyelenggaran Peragaan Busana Muslim ini karena Nadine sendiri bukan seorang Muslim. Namun, sebagai seorang perempuan, Nadine memiliki pendapat tersendiri mengenai karier seorang perempuan Indonesia yang memakai busana muslim di tempat kerjanya.

Menurut Nadine, seorang perempuan tidak bisa dilihat dari apa yang dipakainya, baik busana muslim maupun bukan. Yang terpenting dari seorang perempuan Indonesia adalah apa yang ada di dalam benaknya, ilmu pengetahuannya, dan kepribadiannya. "Tidak masalah dengan busana muslim atau bukan, karena bukan itu cara menilai seorang perempuan," ungkapnya.

Nadine juga berpendapat, peragaan busana muslim itu sangat penting sebagai salah satu usaha untuk mengangkat dunia fashion di dalam negeri. Perkembangan busana muslim merupakan salah satu bagian dari citra Indonesia.

"Namun, busana muslim mungkin masih ada hambatan untuk berkembang karena modelnya masih memberikan batasan-batasan tertentu kepada pemakainya. Antara lain, harus menggunakan model pakaian lengan panjang. Namun, sekali lagi, itu bukanlah masalah, karena apa yang ada dalam kepalanya, itulah yang menjadi keunggulan seorang perempuan," katanya.

Seperti diketahui, Nadine menyisihkan 38 finalis lainnya di malam Grand Final Pemilihan Puteri yang digelar di Assembly Hall, Jakarta Convention Center (JCC), 9 Oktober 2010. Memasuki babak tiga besar, Nadine mengungguli dua pesainganya, yakni Reisa Kartikasari dari Yogyakarta dan Alessandra Khadijah Usman dari Gorontalo.

Saat pengumuman pemenang oleh dewan juri, perempuan kelahiran Inggris, 23 Mei 1991, itu sempat kaget, terutama ketika menerima mahkota yang dipasangkan oleh Puteri Indonesia 2009 Qory Sandioriva.

Seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya, Puteri Indonesia 2010 berkesempatan untuk membawa nama Indonesia ke Miss Universe Pageant 2011, ajang kecantikan berskala internasional yang menduduki peringkat pertama untuk event sejenis.

Selain Puteri Indonesia, ajang ini juga menetapkan beberapa penghargaan lain, yakni Puteri Indonesia Persahabatan: Oifance Elmerilia Falentin Imbiri (Papua), Puteri Indonesia Berbakat: Aelyn Halim (Kalimantan Tengah), dan Puteri Indonesia Favorit: Aelyn Halim (Kalimantan Tengah).

Nadine Sorry for Speaking Poor Indonesian


JAKARTA: No one is perfect, not even the prettiest girl in the country.

Nadine Alexandra Dewi Ames, who was recently crowned as the winner of 2010 Puteri Indonesia beauty pageant confessed recently that she knew little about her native tongue, Indonesian.

She said on Wednesday she couldn’t speak fluent Indonesian, and apologized for her lack of proficiency in the language.

“I apologize to Indonesian people because my Indonesian is not good enough,” Nadine said as quoted by detikhot.com during an event in Jakarta.

She hoped the public would not judge her as not being patriotic enough.

“The important think is that I can communicate. I am studying every day to improve my language skills,” said Nadine, who was born in the UK 19 years ago and has spent the last three years in England.

In October, Nadine defeated 37 finalists in the prestigious beauty pageant. She took over the crown from Qory Sandioriva, the winner of the 2009 competition.

Like other winners of the beauty contest, Nadine is set to represent Indonesia in the Miss Universe international beauty pageant next year, which will be held in Vietnam.
