1. Starting a Career as an MTV VJ

Daniel Mananta began his career in the entertainment industry in Indonesia in 2003. Yes, at that time Daniel participated in the MTV VJ Hunt in 2003 and became the winner. Daniel became a VJ until early 2011. Because of his talent, Daniel was also trusted to host the prestigious show INDONESIAN IDOL.

In the post, Daniel also provided a long caption and shared many things. Daniel also gave a lot of advice to his fans to be more careful in their words, as it could become a reality.

"OMG! Nostalgia Time!! I cringe watching this because honestly I find my way of speaking funny!!" LOL! This is my first video appearance on MTV Indonesia as a finalist of VJ Hunt 2003 (that's almost 19 years ago btw). But what's interesting is that many people really like it when I say "I want to be rich, successful, FILTHY STINKIN RICH!"

But what blows my mind is when I say "Maybe God produced you to help people, maybe one, maybe two, maybe a thousand"

Like my previous post about what we talk about having "POWER", and what I say is like a prayer!! And it happens.

I want to ask you guys. For example, starting next year, 2022, what you say, sooner or later WILL definitely happen, well, it seems like you will be more careful with your words. More cautious with jokes. Because words can actually become prayers.

Your life can be a blessing or a curse depending on what you say from your mouth. Think about it, and now, try writing in the comment section so that you can speak life, love, faith!! So that what you write can happen in your life!! (It's dangerous if you gossip and write negative things about others, it will happen in your life too, so please be aware).

Anyways, Guys, I'm feeling nostalgic for real! (Maybe the end of the year effect) Can I post my next posts like reminiscing and evaluating my life in the entertainment industry? Just for pure joy and fun!! For you all! Hahaha

P.s. I remember the producer said it would air on Thursday. And because there was no clarity about the time, on Wednesday at 11:59, I was already in front of the TV, not sleeping, excited to watch my first appearance on MTV Indonesia. Finally, it aired the following Monday!! For 4 days, I didn't sleep because I was too excited! LOL!!"

"Aaaaw SNAP! Nostalgia Time is Back! Get ready to cringe seeing my hair evolution!

October 2006, GRAND Final Indonesian Idol season 3. Yes, I started @indonesianidolid in season 3, and my partner was Ata (Amelia Natasha, not Halilintar). At that time, I was still active as an MTV VJ, but luckily I was allowed to become the host of Indonesian Idol.

I'm really grateful because at that time, MTV Indonesia was quite possessive and didn't allow their VJs to host elsewhere. But luckily the boss is nice, so I was given permission. My boss at MTV, in my opinion, has been very instrumental in my career right now.

And he was placed in Indonesia maybe only for a year. After that, he moved again to Singapore. Looking back now, maybe it was also one of God's plans for him to be able to fit in when I was given the opportunity to become the host of Idol."

4. Still Having a Unique Hair Appearance
