Pacarku-pacarku

2011-06-02T11:06:00.003+07:00

Yuhuuuu.... *usap-usap debu
It's been a very very long I didn't touch you, my dear blog......huhu...
Kemaren sempet mellow yellow jadinya ada ide buat nulis lagi...wakakak... Nulis kalo butuh doang, yak..hihi..

How's life, peps? Wishing you all got the most fun life so far... What about mine? Kerjaan sempet agak-agak bitchy beberapa minggu lalu... Bah, I hate when people or job or anything were effected my mood. You know, those negative auras from people/job that could invaded my happy joy-joy mood. Pokoknya sebeeelllll..aku tak sukaaaaaaaa.... Karena pada dasarnya saya sukanya seneng-seneng, jarang deh yang bikin gue sebel, kalopun lagi sebel terus abis itu makan enak sama pacar-pacarku..ilang, deh sebelnya...hehe.. Pokoknya I'm easy to pleased lah...

Kemaren sempet baca-baca blog-nya Upi (itu, lho director-nya Realita Cinta dan Rock n Roll sama 30 Hari Mencari Cinta) Bagus, lho tulisannya...recommended read... Disitu dia banyak cerita soal anaknya yang lucu..hihi.. Ada beberapa tulisan yang menyentuh..Nah, gara-gara baca itu tiba-tiba gue jadi mellow dan kangen banget sama pacar-pacarku...huhu.. Gue juga kagak tau, ya dimana korelasinya antara cerita soal Ibu sama anaknya bisa jadi nyambung kangennya gue sama sahabat-sahabat gue..wakakakakakak... Padahal hubungan kita gak kayak Ibu dan anak, lho... Malah cenderung nyebelin..wakakakak...

Dalam rangka menyambut hari libur, jadilah kemaren kita kongkow, walaupun formasi gak lengkap, sih tapi yasutralah, ya.... Somehow, niat cihuy kita berjalan mulus ditandai dengan Jalan Thamrin yang kagak macet sampe ke Bunderan HI nya pun kosong...cadasssssss.... Ini pertanda dari yang Ilahi (halah...) Kegiatan kita sih standar layaknya tante-tante yang banci tampil..wakakakak.. Nggak, deng...biasalah kita ngerumpi, makan, sama ngopi (khusus buat gue doang, tuh.. soalnya temen aku ada yang takut kalo ngopi nanti kebelet pup..ckckck...) Sebenernya kegiatan ini sih rutin kita lakuin tiap jumat, pokoknya after work friday night..yah gitu-gitu aja juga sebenernya makan dan ngerumpi. Herannya gak bosen-bosen paling cuma ganti tempat aja...hehe...

I must say, I'm one of the luckiest person to have bestfriends (see that 's' I got not only One bestfriend ^_^) Karena pada dasarnya gue nyebelin jadi sebenernya susah-susah gampang temenan sama gue...haha...Nah, kebetulan pacar-pacar gue ini emang nyebelin semua jadinya lah klop...huakakakakakak... Hubungan gue dengan mereka adalah relationship paling panjang dan lama setelah hubungan gue sama emak gue kali, ya.. kalo diitung-itung bisa hampir setengah dari hidup gue. Kita ketemu pertama kali (sedapppp...kayak pilem-pilem romance, yak..) di satu sekolah di kompleks rumah kita waktu jaman-jaman TK. See, udah lama bener.kan...Yaaa, gak selalu mulus full of love dan penuh cinta kasih, sih pertemanan kita..hehe.. Sempet ada momen berantem hebat, anehnya abis baikan terus nyante aja kayak di pantai serasa gak abis berantem... heran..jangan-jangan hubungan kita emang sadomasokis...wakakakakak...

And when we grow older, our bond seems tighter even though we met a lot of new (and interesting) people in our lives, new boyfriends, new employers, new colleques... For me personally, those people just come and go in my life (though, a very few of them stayed and became one of my closest person too) My girlfriends influenced me to become the who I am now, their friendship makes me believe, that I'll always have a nice group-hug after my bitchy day or just a simple pat on my back that'll always say "you can do it, girl".

Huuu..jangan pengen mewekkkkkk..... (pengaruh datang bulan kayaknya *usap air mata) I'll always love you, girls.... kalian adalah orang-orang nyebelin favorit akuuuuuuu.....always, babyyyyy.......(lebai, ye)

Udah, ah gitu aja.... Have a nice day wherever you are.....

Self-help Blabber

2010-11-01T11:42:00.004+07:00

This morning on my way to the office, a guy who sat across me opened up a book called "The Achiever", I didn't notice who the writer is, but I do notice is a self-help book (judging on those tagline "20 ways to achieve your goals" or something like that)

It got me thinking, I never really fond to these so-called self-help books. With amazing marketing strategy these books always come up with tasty title and tagline. And with large variety of genres e.g : money, relationship, diet, personality, you name it! They got it all! Long long time ago, I read this typical of books -- If I'm not mistaken I read the "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff" series. Trust me, this books is annoying...hehe.... Or maybe it's just matter of preference, I've always feel annoyed every time the self-books tried to solve your problem by their to-do list method. But maybe some of people find this method is helpful. When I was on state of confusion and need a little direction, my proven self-help method are scribbling on my journal, watching DVD, reading books, chatting with my girls or praying -- praying for me is the highest level of my method...hehe...

Let's move on to a lighter blabber, I've finally decided to get myself a driving license next week!! Yihaaa!!! I must say my driving skill is on semi-intermediate level with A/T transmission...wakakakakak... I'm so proud..hihi.. -- maybe a little too proud. Driving for me is like another life achievement..hehe... I've never driving anything with real engine...hehe.. So, please don't count that I could ride a bicycle...haha... Even with a bicycle, I've never been such a good driver. Crashed on bushes or little smash on tree is very usual on my bicycle activity. Hopefully, I could rockin' on this car driving....amen.

Alright then, have a good day wherever you are.

Lookie...lookie...

2010-10-28T17:02:00.003+07:00

Yeee..haaa.. Long time this blog became untouched! I pretty busy with my working stuff and other life's business -- yeah, I just wanna look little pretentious..hahaha... So, how's life? I'm really being hopeful that's your daily life is suite you just fine. Anyway I found this inspiring quote by Bob Marley, it's pretty much interpret in what most people heart and mind. -- I'll give it to you after my blabber...haha..

Long story short, these couple days I short of missed on what's truly going on in the world around me. I just don't feel engaged. I worked, I finished it, I poured my blood and tears into it (yeah, I'm really aggravated it...wakakakakak...) then I went home, feel asleep and feel nothing about it. Numbness, just like a damn robot. It's psychotic really.... And what's pretty shocked me that I'm on a point where I don't want anything, simply don't want anything (in career or possession). Sometimes I just forced myself to bought a stuff that I don't really need or pretend to cheer up on successful work project. The cruelest part of me is simply just don't give a shit of anything all around me (and myself).

All those feelings accumulated to longing my childhood memories. Especially my Elementary and Junior High School moment. I'm so much missed it so much longing it so-fuckin'-much! The moment I met all my girls, who's right now become my sister of soul (well, I guess they're more than that, they're sort of like my boyfriend without sexual tension...hahahaha) the first-stupid boy crush, cheated on exam, being grounded, being a bitch (well, I guess I always had bitchy tendency, It's in the blood, baby...hehe ^_^) You name it, all those curiosities and first-time experience always been a perfect drugs of choice for my adrenaline and my endorphin. Feel so God damn nice and intoxicating.

Hopefully soon enough my numbness will be gone. As I wrote earlier I'll give you those Marley's quote...enjoy, peeps!

"Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are.

The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you.

You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life." -Bob Marley

Yellow Ribbon

2010-09-21T18:10:00.004+07:00

Hello, there....

Just FYI, I always like sort of Nicholas Spark-ish love story. So I found this "Yellow Ribbon" post due my excessive amount of internet browsing during my lazy working hours...huehehehe... And I'd love to share it to you.

Pada tahun 1971 surat kabar New York Post menulis kisah nyata tentang seorang pria yang hidup di sebuah kota kecil di White Oak, Georgia, Amerika. Pria ini menikahi seorang wanita yang cantik dan baik, sayangnya dia tidak pernah menghargai istrinya. Dia tidak menjadi seorang suami dan ayah yang baik. Dia sering pulang malam-malam dalam keadaan mabuk, lalu memukuli anak dan isterinya.

Satu malam dia memutuskan untuk mengadu nasib ke kota besar, New York. Dia mencuri uang tabungan isterinya, lalu naik bis menuju ke utara, ke kota besar, ke kehidupan yang baru. Bersama-sama beberapa temannya dia memulai bisnis baru. Untuk beberapa saat dia menikmati hidupnya. Sex, gambling, drug. Dia menikmati semuanya.

Bulan berlalu. Tahun berlalu. Bisnisnya gagal, dan ia mulai kekurangan uang. Lalu dia mulai terlibat dalam perbuatan kriminal. Ia menulis cek palsu dan menggunakannya untuk menipu uang orang. Akhirnya pada suatu saat naas, dia tertangkap. Polisi menjebloskannya ke dalam penjara, dan pengadilan menghukumnya tiga tahun penjara.

Menjelang akhir masa penjaranya, dia mulai merindukan rumahnya. Dia merindukan istrinya. Dia rindu keluarganya. Akhirnya dia memutuskan untuk menulis surat kepada istrinya, untuk menceritakan betapa menyesalnya dia. Bahwa dia masih mencintai isteri dan anak-anaknya.

Dia berharap dia masih boleh kembali. Namun dia juga mengerti bahwa mungkin sekarang sudah terlambat, oleh karena itu ia mengakhiri suratnya dengan menulis, "Sayang, engkau tidak perlu menunggu aku. Namun jika engkau masih ada perasaan padaku, maukah kau nyatakan? Jika kau masih mau aku kembali padamu, ikatkanlah sehelai pita kuning bagiku, pada satu-satunya pohon beringin yang berada di pusat kota. Apabila aku lewat dan tidak menemukan sehelai pita kuning, tidak apa-apa. Aku akan tahu dan mengerti. Aku tidak akan turun dari bis, dan akan terus menuju Miami. Dan aku berjanji aku tidak akan pernah lagi menganggu engkau dan anak-anak seumur hidupku."

Akhirnya hari pelepasannya tiba. Dia sangat gelisah. Dia tidak menerima surat balasan dari isterinya. Dia tidak tahu apakah isterinya menerima suratnya atau sekalipun dia membaca suratnya, apakah dia mau mengampuninya? Dia naik bis menuju Miami, Florida, yang melewati kampung halamannya, White Oak. Dia sangat sangat gugup. Seisi bis mendengar ceritanya, dan mereka meminta kepada sopir bus itu, "Tolong, pas lewat White Oak, jalan pelan-pelan...kita mesti lihat apa yang akan terjadi..."

Hatinya berdebar-debar saat bis mendekati pusat kota White Oak. Dia tidak berani mengangkat kepalanya. Keringat dingin mengucur deras.
Akhirnya dia melihat pohon itu. Air mata menetes dari matanya...
Dia tidak melihat sehelai pita kuning...
Tidak ada sehelai pita kuning....
Tidak ada sehelai..... .
Melainkan ada seratus helai pita-pita kuning....bergantungan di pohon beringin itu...Ooh... seluruh pohon itu dipenuhi pita kuning...!!!

Catatan:

Yellow ribbon di Amerika adalah lambang ,apabila seorang istri sedang menunggu seseorang yang disayanginya untuk pulang terutama dari medan perang. Kisah ini juga menjadi sangat terkenal di Amerika seperti sudah menjadi legenda sehingga sampai ada lagunya "tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree".

Weird Love

2010-09-17T11:24:00.003+07:00

"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love"

via so I Found

Let's find our compatible weird!

I'm an Eagle!

2010-09-14T21:10:00.004+07:00

I found an interesting post from one of my dearest friend, Resti. Sorta inspired myself to wrote the exact same post...hehe...

I took a lot of those online personality quizzes, astrology test, birth date quizzes..you named it! I do enjoy it, I love it. That's one my favorite online activity. This Mayan Day Sign summarized it all! Every test I took, it always mentioned something about being free and independent.

I always thought, I'm lil' bit anti-social. But it wasn't, I'm literally an Eagle, beibeh!! Haha.. It sounds so awesome! But in real life, not that awesome :(

Based on my Mayan Sign, It says that I have an escapist side, I think most of people also have this side too. But maybe for me, it's just my personality. I always said to my best friend, that's sometimes I don't really like people. They're nosy. They're often "too curious" about somebody else's life, especially women. They're pretty challenging to be avoided. Not to mention those "emak-emak rumpi" who's contastly asked about my relationship status -- so typical.

When I was in high school, I kept persuaded myself to get excited with those prom thingie, pensi and chasing cute boys (don't get me wrong, I really loooove cute guys, but I'd rather talk to them than stalk them) but I always ended up watching DVDs and played PlayStation at home. Those things always make myself excited!

The older I get, the more challenging the things. At work, I don't feel myself as a competitive person. I don't see it why I should be in the top management or something like that..hehe.. People maybe see this as weird concept of career or just simply calling myself lazy. For me, as long as I'm enjoying what I am doing, I'll stick with it. And when I stop feel an enjoyment, I'll stop and starting to explore a new thing.

I do love concept of freedom, this is your life. The best way to live your life is by set your own rules and go with it. People are allowed to express their concerns, suggestions, disagreements and even supports. But it's wisely if you're still the one who's steer the wheel. Yeah, freedom could be abused, but I always tried to use my freedom with the most less damage. Maybe, because I love freedom so much, that's the reason why I've never been such a good planner. Every time I wrote a to-do list, I always feel a compulsion to randomly started the the list from the middle or even from the latest list. That's my bad habit, I guess.... :)

But what I irritated the most it's the constant "against the rules" label on my forehead. I've never against the rules, I lived my rules carefully. I just don't feel it to follow the rules if it isn't necessary. Such as get married before the age of 25, tendency to be act/called "boyish" just because I love short hair and wore pants rather than skirt, being called "girlie" because pink is my favorite color, being less-intellect because I like chick-lit rather than those "awesome" marketing books, called less-religious because it's so rare to me took 5x of prays. Thank you very much, for seeing myself as those common social label. Really, peeps, you're all should stop! Because you're gonna missed to see people as a "person" and who are you to judge?

It seems on real life, Eagle could flying and soaring freely, huh? But, I'm still the Eagle!! Just catch me if you can.... :)

Driving Lesson

2010-09-14T19:52:00.005+07:00

Helloooo, world!!! What's up?! How's life? Is there anything I missed during my world wide web hibernation?

Anyway, kerjaan saya lagi cukup gokil apalagi pas menjelang liburan lebaran kemaren... Tiba-tiba aja ada undangan pitching sama kerjaan dengan deadline yang cukup sinting. Jadinya tiap kali mau posting bawaannya tidak bergairah, terlalu muak karena seharian udah menyentuh internet di kantor (sedaaapp.... +sotoy+)

Tapi semua terbayar dengan libur panjang lebaran!! Ihiiiiiyyyyyyyyyyy.... I love holiday! Who's not? By the way, Met Idul Fitri, yah....

Jadi ceritanya, gue berencana mengisi waktu liburan ini dengan kegiatan yang berguna bagi masa depan gue...wekekekek... Kebetulan mamah baru aja beli mobil baru (sayangnya bukan buat gue :( meehhhhhh....) Mobil baru emak gue ini punya transmisi otomatis. So, I decided to learn how to drive!!! Menurut gue, menyetir mobil adalah salah satu life skill yang harus dikuasai selain berenang. Yaahhh...just in case, ada alien yang menginvasi bumi gue bisa nyetir sambil menghindari serangan laser mereka (kagak nyambung...wakakakakak...)

Semua orang selalu bilang, kalo belajar nyetir pake mobil automatic gak bakal sejago sama yang belajar make mobil manual. Tapi, ya... Gue orangnya pengennya yang praktis-praktis aja. Mobil yang ada cuma automatic ngapain juga harus belajar yang manual...masa' harus sampe minjem mobil orang lain segala...hehe

Tapiiii...yeee.. Walau katanya gampang, I'm suck at driving!! Gue agak-agak bodoh dalam menyetir, gue tipe driver yang careless dan tipe student yang logika nya kagak jalan-jalan..wakakakakakakak..... jadi teringat ketika gue belajar matematik soal pertidaksamaan dan persamaan....hehe.

Persoalan yang belom gue kuasai adalah dalam hal belok membelok, apalagi u-turn! Kerjaannya gue berenti melulu aja ditengah-tengah belokan..wakakakak... Ketololan gue yang paling mantap adalah honestly, awalnya gue gak ngerti arti istilah "bales" dalam setir-menyetir...hahahahahaha...dari dulu gue selalu bertanya-tanya apaan artinya "bales". Jadi, pas nyokap ngajarin gue untuk u-turn setelah gue mengarahkan setir gue untuk belok kearah kanan nyokap teriak "bales, kak!!" Gue diem aja dalam posisi mobil setengah belok kearah kanan, dalam hati gue mikir "apaan yang harus dibales, ngirim surat aja kagak" wakakakakakakakak....

Kata emak, nilai gue dari 3 hari driving lesson bareng dia masih C. Huh... Tapi gue sangat berambisi buat bisa!!!!! Mantabs!!!

Alright, nanti saya update perkembangan belajar menyetir gue... See you on the next post.

INCEPTION (2010)

2010-07-18T11:12:00.011+07:00

Pada dasarnya plot cerita dalam Inception sangatlah sederhana. Film Sci-fi Thriller ini berkisah tentang dunia mimpi (alam bawah sadar) dan profesi pencuri ide melalui mimpi. Dalam universe Inception, pekerjaan mencuri ide melalui mimpi merupakan hal yang "wajar" bahkan dapat menjadi sebuah profesi dengan bayaran yang mahal. Siapa yang tidak tertarik untuk memasuki alam bawah sadar seseorang dan "mencuri' ide atau rahasia terdalam dari seseorang. Bisa kebayang, kan kalo bisa masuk alam mimpi Steve Jobs dan ngebuat perusahaan saingan...wakakakak...

Walaupun terkesan sederhana, pencurian ide dalam mimpi seseorang tidaklah semudah nyolong permen di warung. Pikiran dan alam bawah sadar manusia merupakan tempat yang sangat kompleks. Di film inilah ditunjukkan betapa hebatnya alam bawah sadar manusia dengan segala kenangan, rahasia terdalam, harapan, prasangka, penyesalan. Oleh sebab itu dibutuhkan sebuah "tim pencuri mimpi" yang handal. Tim ini biasanya tediri dari The Extractor (bertugas sebagai pencuri ide dalam mimpi), The Point Man (bertugas untuk mengumpul semua data mengenai target yang dituju, hal ini sangat penting untuk mengetahui karateristik mimpi yang akan dituju) dan The Architect (bertugas membuat dunia dalam mimpi)

Pada opening scene, diperlihatkan Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) seorang Extrator handal dan juga seorang buron yang berusaha mencuri informasi rahasia dari seorang pengusaha powerful bernama Saito (Ken Watanabe) yang dapat membebaskan dirinya dari segala tuduhan sehingga dia dapat pulang menemui anak-anaknya.

Bersama timnya yang terdiri dari si Point Man, Arthur (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) dan si arsitek mimpi, Nash (Lukas Haas) Dom dapat membuat dunia mimpi dalam mimpi, bingung, kan? hahaha... Well, intinya ketika tidur kita semakin nyenyak, pikiran alam bawah sadar kita pun semakin kuat sehingga mimpi kita pun semakin dalam. Ibaratnya kayak level mimpi gitu, deh. Semakin dalam sebuah mimpi, semakin me-reveal pikiran kita sesungguhnya.

Usaha ini gagal, dikarenakan Saito menyadari bahwa semuanya hanyalah mimpi pada level kedua mimpinya. Walaupun pada akhirnya Dom gagal mencuri informasi tersebut. Saito akhirnya menyewa Dom beserta timnya untuk melakukan sebuah tugas yang sangat sulit yaitu melakukan "Inception" atau menanamkan ide kepada seseorang melalui mimpi. Targetnya adalah Robert Fischer Jr. (Cillian Murphy) yang merupakan penerus sebuah perusahan besar yang merupakan saingan Saito. Awalnya Arthur menentang ide ini dikarenakan menanamkan ide dalam benak seseorang sangatlah sulit dan rumit. Karena jika melakukan kesalahan sedikit, hal ini dapat berimbas kepada personality orang tersebut. Dan hal ini semakin dipersulit karena alam bawah sadar Dom yang dihantui oleh kenangan terhadap Mal (Marion Cotillard) istrinya yang telah meninggal.

Dom akhirnya menerima tawaran ini, karena Saito dapat menjamin kebebasannya agar dapat bertemu kembali dengan anak-anaknya. Untuk melaksanakan tugas sulit ini Dom membentuk tim baru, dia meng-hire Eames (Tom Hardy) sebagai The Forger yang bisa menjelma menjadi orang terdekat seseorang dalam sebuah mimpi, Ariadne (Ellen Page) sebagai arsitek mimpi yang baru dan Yusuf (Dileep Rao) sebagai ahli kimia yang dapat menciptakan zat sedatif yang sangat kuat dikarenakan untuk melakukan "Inception" harus dibutuhkan tidur yang panjang sehingga dapat mencapai level ke 3 dalam mimpi seseorang.

Aturan dalam dunia mimpi sebenarnya sangat simpel, waktu di dunia mimpi akan terasa lebih lama dibandingkan dengan waktu alam sadar kita dan apabila seseorang mati di dalam mimpi, otomatis dia akan langsung terbangun. Akan tetapi, obat sedatif yang terlalu kuat seperti yang digunakan dalam melakukan "Inception" dapat membuat kita terjatuh ke dalam level "Limbo" yaitu sebuah keadaan dimana diri kita terjebak di alam mimpi untuk waktu yang sangat lama bahkan terasa sampai berabad-abad. So, the team should be watch out for that.

Will Dom and his team succeeded? Well, I guess you have to watch by yourself because I hate spoiler so much! Sepertinya gue bilang dalam postingan sebelumnya kalau Nolan selalu memasukan banyak twist dalam filmnya. So, I hate to spare too many details here.

My verdict is, this movie is amazing! INGENIOUS! Terlepas dari kualitas akting para aktornya yang gak perlu diragukan lagi. Ide cerita film ini sangat one of a kind. Sepertinya Nolan memang suka bermain dalam kompleksitas pikiran dan memori manusia yang dapat mempengaruhi emosi seseorang. Look what Nolan did in Memento, Insomnia and The Prestige (I totally recommended those films, guys) Bahkan dalam The Dark Knight pun, The Joker sukses mengobrak-abrik emosi Batman dengan seluruh kegilaannya. And I definitely love the ending, sangat khas Nolan. The ending that'll make you discuss it over and over with other movie junkie.

Nolan sendiri menghabiskan waktu hampir 10 tahun dalam men-develop cerita ini dan melakukan banyak riset mengenai mimpi dan alam bawah sadar manusia. Inception berhasil menunjukan betapa kompleksnya pikiran seseorang dengan begitu banyak layer serta kedalaman yang harus ditempuh untuk dapat mempengaruhi (memanipulasi) pikiran seseorang. Semakin dalam pikiran seseorang semakin sulit untuk dipengaruhi.

I guess, Inception will be my best summer movie this year. I love the great feeling that I had when I watched it.

Nailed It Again!!!!

2010-07-18T09:57:00.005+07:00

Heiho... Lama gak posting, nih karena.......... keasikan maenan Tumblr...wakakakakak... Dan belum ada mood untuk nulis hal yang menarik. Bisa dibilang life-flow gue agak smooth. terlalu smooth malah, hampir menjurus ke arah boring...hahaha... So, I waited and keep on waiting (sampe bego) menunggu hal menarik yang menggugah hasrat gue (sedaaaappp...) Karena pada dasarnya dalam hidup, gue hanya tertarik sama 2 hal epic (halah) yaitu makan dan nonton (atau bisalah di-subtitute dengan membaca buku-buku fantasy ciamik dan chick-lit) So, I spent the last couple months to figure out what's cool about those things that I could share here.

Akhirnya semalem Tuhan mengabulkan doa gue (sholat aja gak pernah, ciiinnnn....wakakakakak) The most anticipated film this year has been release!! Tanggal 16 kemaren akhirnya INCEPTION officially released!!!!! Setelah nari-nari India keliling Monas, gue memutuskan untuk segera nonton. Seperti layaknya film-film summer pastinya tiket cepet banget sold-out apalagi pas malam minggu. So, gue memutuskan nonton pas hari sabtu aja. So, there I was last night, on my seat with large popcorn and coke. My body's shivered (lebaiiiiii...) Tapi asli, ketika menunggu opening title, gue udah deg-degan, I was super excited. Reaksi yang sama terjadi ketika gue menonton James Cameron's AVATAR (yeah, I know I am that insane)

Sebelum masuk ke review film ini, orang bertanya-tanya kenapa gue terlalu excited sama film ini, first thing first, It's Leonardo DiCaprio's film, darling! Yaaah, banyak orang bilang gue ngefans banget sama Leo gara-gara dia good looking doang. well, for the first time it was. In Titanic, he definitely stole my heart. Tapiiiiii.....he turned into a very great actor indeed and he always make a good selection of film that he'll be starred. Tell me, mana pernah Leo maen film jelek (yah, kecuali The Man In The Iron Mask, sih...but he's young dan masih dalam Titanic euforia, so it's forgiveable)

Kedua, the ensemble cast, there are Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ellen Page, Ken Watanabe, Marion Cottilard, Cillian Murphy, Micheal Caine. Do I have to say more about this, those people are my favorite actor!

Ketiga, the director, Christopher Nolan! He's always make amazing film with a great twist. Gue selalu suka dengan film yang memiliki twist yang bagus, apalagi yang menipu. Gue akan langsung jatuh cinta dengan cerita sepeti itu. Film-film Nolan hampir selalu memiliki twist seperti itu. Baik dari segi cerita maupun dari POV style-nya. Look what he did in Memento, Insomnia and The Prestige, it was Amazing! You couldn't miss any detail while watched his film. Bahkan ketika Nolan membuat popcorn movie seperti The Dark Knight, rasanya gak ada film superhero yang memiliki plot cerita sebagus itu, my popcorn never taste that good while I watched The Dark Knight!

So, the bottom line is Christopher Nolan nailed again!!! And Leo DiCaprio's record as my the most fave actor all the time is remain intact! Let's see my review on the next post, shall we?

Sex, Ariel and Videotapes

2010-06-12T23:50:00.009+07:00

"Served while still hot"

That's my grandma used to say. And I'm well aware there's no correlation in this post topic...hahaha... What I'm trying to say is I wanna give a little perspective on our internationally famous local home-made sex video. The hottest topic in town, beibeh!! And became 2 days in a row on Twitter's trending topic! It was amazing..ly sad....

Why is sad? Because once again, women become the most objectify on this typical case. The Women became The Slut and The Guy became The Rockstar. It's so typical, isn't it? Well, I'm trying not to take side and be objective. But of course, there's gender talking here. Man always have been on lower level on harm. Women always on the side of the humiliation and immorality. It seems our culture have taught us "It's okay to be an asshole but don't be a slut" For common example: it's always been more sinful for women; who cheats, who smokes, who drinks and partying, while the other gender who does it, it's sexy! And of course, understandable and forgiveable.

When the sex video leaked on the internet, I was pretty shocked. Especially, I felt deep sympathetic for Luna Maya. I must say I like her, she's pretty and funny. A rare combination on nowadays Indonesian celebs. Because I do believe this thing could destroy her career. Remember what happened to Edison Chen, he just vanished...whoossshhhh!

I don't really care about the authenticity of the woman in that video. If it wasn't her, I feel pathetic for the woman who did it. And IF it's really her, then what? People have sex all the time. Don't be hyprocrite that you REALLY are closed your eyes by the fact that in the big city like Jakarta, pre-marital sex is a taboo. No, it doesn't! It's a taboo to talk about it but it's really not for doing it +yeah, that's true, parents...hahaha+

Anyway, I haven't seen the video on a full length. I've only seen it in a flash moment...hahaha.. Besides, I never have high interest on watching people have sex in video or in any medium without supported by well-written story...hahahaha... So unsexy!

Another hypocrisy that happened due this sex video thingie is people took the blame to the couple as they promoted pornography to society. I mean, WTF?? Pornography is always been there all along even before this internationally famous Ariel Peterporn. I saw on the local news this afternoon, there's some of people who burned poster of Ariel, because they dissapointed that he made a "porn-video". Just FYI, you need a little research before you talked, darling... What porn video really is? Just googled it or ask Wikipedia. Based on Wiki, it says that porn videos always have a commercial intention. A private sex video is not technically became a porn.

There's some people who have sex and videotaped it. Personally, I think that's an insane thing to do...hehehe.. It's very risky and I'll feel very very odd if I do it...wakakakakak...

And some parents even took a blame to this video because they believe it will corrupted their kids mind. Oh, come on!! It's not the sex that will corrupted their mind, it's the lack of knowledge. We need to take seriously about the sex education at school. When people heard about sex-ed the first thing that crossed on their mind is "the act of sex" not the whole spectrum of the sex itself. Suddenly sex became the most dangerous thing.

Personally, I always think, just don't take sex too seriously and too lightly. Just in a balanced point of view...hehehe... Especially, when you became an adult, the decision on doing it is all yours. It's supposed become your conscious choice. On that state, I think you've already well informed about the joy and the risk, right?

As I'm about to close this post, I'll give you the moral of the story:

BE SAFE

It is applicable to everyone who have sex or who have sex and videotaped it...hehehe...
(My tips: put on separate hard-disk and put inside safe deposit box with complicated lock keys)

See ya. Have a nice life, everyone....

Nosy

2010-06-10T09:55:00.005+07:00

I’ve gotten realized more and more precisely that I’ve never like too many tittles tattles. Actually, I’m a pretty straight forward person; I don’t like unnecessary small talk because it feels fake and waste of time. There’s lot of differences between small talk over cup of cappuccino with my best buddies and with so-called stranger in my life who’s craving my attention so much. They’re bugging me, they’re bugging other people near me, they wept, they annoy my daily life, they mad, they begged and finally they became delusional by twisting another story.

It makes me wonder, why there’s a person that could be so nosy?? Especially to me, Hey! I’m the most laid-back person on earth. I always have lack of interest sniffing on somebody else’s life. I mean, I don’t have the rights to do so…except that people allowed me to being part of their personal life. I have a very high respect on other people’s privacy.

It always fascinated myself if there’s a person who's overly-excited with somebody else’s life. Is their life too boring? Well, trust me most of people’s life is boring too…haha… Well, in this case, I got an interesting-boring life…huehehehe…

And of course, being stalked is so uncool... Pardon my exaggerated term…wakakakak… But that’s what I felt lately. This kind of people became so demanding every day. They demand your extra attention...yeah, that’s insane! When I ignored them, they started being a weepie bastard. They have an extra energy and time not just annoyed my life but also other people’s life. Begged my attention by creating delusional story and tell it to other people (trust me, that’s happened in my unnecessary life…hahaha)

I hailed them. Bravo!! Thanks for convinced me that you really are not worth my attention! Sorry to say, man…you just failed really hard on winning my attention.

Your Royal Hotness

2010-06-09T10:29:00.007+07:00

I know there's a lot of people who doesn't like Jake Gyllenhaal.... But I just couldn't resist his charm. He's simply my fave type of guy....huehehehehe... He's goofy, funny and nice. And I must say he's pretty damn good actor especially for peculiar character like Donnie Darko and Bubble Boy. Currently he's trying his luck on Jerry Bruckheimer's action-fire-in-a-hole-blockbuster Prince of Persia - The Sands of Time. A very nice try indeed...at least for me...hehe.. He's bulked up with sexy body and abs supported by those dreamy-bedroom eyes...wakakakakak... Totally sexual!! I have to re-watched, though. Because when the first time I watched it, Jake's totally distracted me!! plus I missed a couple minutes on the opening scenes. Which I hated so much, I've never like to missed any scenes while I watch on theater.

All I wanna to say is, when it comes to Jerry Bruckheimer films don't even care to take seriously on his film's story, trust me, it will waste your time. What you have to do is pay the movie ticket, buy a bucket of popcorn & coke, sit nicely and enjoy the film.

Critics don't like "Prince of Persia" I don't know why but for me it's an okay-film. It wasn't like Transformers 2: Revenge of The Fallen which clearly selling Ms. Fox's ass-et and unfunny jokes. Maybe they're expecting too much with all those heavy promotions and stuff. In United States you could see PoP poster all over the places with a various sizes. Jake's body all over the country!!! And sadly to say, I guess lot people don't like it either. PoP couldn't open the weekend (which is rare, if you compared to other Jerry Bruckheimer's films) lose the race to Shrek: Forever After and Sex and The City 2. Current box office stats today placed Prince of Persia on 4th place after Jonah Hill's Get Him To The Greek and Katherine Heigl's action rom-com Killers. Suckeyyyy..... This thing could led to no-sequel status, people!!!

Anyway, let's talk the more important stuff. I googled Jake vigorously the last past weeks (until now...hahaha) And I found some of my fave photos of Jake. And of course, I am happy to share with you all. Enjoy!!

What an eye-yummy, isn't it?

All right, enjoy your morning and have a nice day wherever you are...

Want 'Em, Got 'Em

2010-04-28T15:52:00.004+07:00

There's always been good enough reasons to want something. People always want anything that crossed their mind. You named it! Fancier car, bigger salary, bigger apartment, more shoes and clothes, somebody else's man/woman (trust me, it's on somebody's list! hehe...) The higher risk, the more exciting to pursue. The higher demand, the bloodier its competition.

It's a human nature for being ambitious and never satisfied. That's what made capitalist and advertising industry always with happily sneer in joyful triumph...yihaaa!!!

Alright, since I'm in the middle attack of boringness... The subject of writing above suddenly just popped into my head. Geez, I want a lot of things lately. I wanna buy lot of things, but of course there's limitation on buying department. I already swipe my credit card on new cellphone (which my friend said "you don't really need it, right?") On my defense, I do really need a brand new cellphone because my old one.......mmmm...... is lame...wakakakakakakakakakak... I don't have a good excuse, really..haha... I just want a more kick-ass cellphone with nice color.

Let's move to another intellectually challenge discussion...hehe...

Mmmmm.... Let's find the topic, shall we? What about cute boys...mmm... I really want to discuss about them but sadly I don't have any stock of cute boys to talk about. You know what I want right now, Coffee Bean Caramel Ice Blended with Chicken & Mushroom Quiche and a big slice of Royal Chocolate cake plus Sushi Tei Crispy Roll and Salmon Maki. What a heaven!!!

Arrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhh......

Let's signing off!!! Before this post affected your brain with unnecessary thought.

Toodles.
Have a nice afternoon wherever you are.

Monday Morning (Curcol Sang Perempuan Cilik)

2010-04-19T10:33:00.007+07:00

Mmm.... kalo denger kata "Senin" bawaannya pengen nambah jumlah hari weekend. Salah satu temen kantor gue pernah bilang kalo menurut dia, seharusnya weekend berjumlah 3 hari berarti Sabtu, Minggu, dan Senin alasannya Sabtu buat dating, Minggu buat maen sama temen-temennya dan Senin untuk istirahat. Good idea sebenernya...hehehe...

Kalo gue pribadi, sih pengennya kerjanya di rumah atau sambil jalan-jalan keliling dunia (pokoknya sambil jalan-jalan, lah... jalan-jalan keliling mall maksudnya...huehehehe) Gue bener-bener berharap dikasih petunjuk gaib supaya gue bisa jalan-jalan dan dibayar...wakakakakakak.... I'm so clueless about this one, but as always, I knew I'll got it someday.... Just don't ever give up hope and trying ^_^ Dulu, ketika gue masih lucu dan naif (jauh sebelum gue menjadi gadis yang cantik jelita +silakan muntah+) Gue bercita-cita jadi pramugari kayak bokap gue (since it's my father, jadinya pramugara...hehe) Entah kenapa istilah Bahasa Indonesia selalu sexist, padahal kalo english term-nya simply flight attendant aja either lo cewek atau cowok +maap, sedikit ngelantur+

Gue ngerasa kayaknya seru banget liat bokap gue bisa keliling dunia gratis (dan dibayar), pake seragam keren (kalo seragam cewek pastinya lebih keren lagi), tinggal di hotel keren (yang per night-rate nya bisa buat belanja 3 bulan) Tapi sepertinya alam semesta berkehendak lain, waktu gue kelas 1 SD gue di dianogsa punya kelainan di mata gue (selain kelainan mental yang emang udah dari lahir...wakakakakakakak) namanya astigmatisma kalo istilah populer di Indo adalah "silindris" padahal "silindris" itu sendiri adalah jenis lensa kacamata yang digunakan oleh penderita astigmatisma dan karena dunia itu lucu, penderita astigmatisma itu hereditary alias 'diwariskan' sejak lahir sehingga gak bisa dicegah.

Oke, sampe disini seorang gadis mungil berusia 6 tahun yang lucu ini harus merelakan cita-citanya +halah+ Tapi secara gue orangnya kepedean, gue masih tetap berharap nantinya di masa depan ada penemuan operasi mata yang canggih yang bisa 'menghilangkan' astigmatisma gue. Tapi seperti yang selalu gue bilang bahwa hidup gue selalu lucu banget (sampe kalo ketawa aja terdengar miris...he...he...he...) Entah mengapa sejak gue menginjak SMP, my body has stopped growing (well, I still got my boops and all.. Thanks for that..haha) Tinggi gue gak pernah bertambah lagi, mandek kayak orang sembelit sebulan. Udah buang ke laut jawa aja cita-cita gue jadi pramugari. Tapi dimana ada tragedi, disitu ada Shakespeare.....nggak, deh...hehe... Ya, walaupun harus pasrah pada keterbatasan fisik sebenernya tetep aja seru, sih. Gue masih tetap bisa menikmati fasilitas yang dikasih bokap gue, kayak jalan-jalan gratis dan nginep di hotel-hotel keren. Tapi kalo orang control freak kayak gue ini pengennya, sih gue yang ngedapetin itu semua bukan hanya karena fasilitas yang 'dikasih'...hehe...

Anyway, sepertinya gue jadi sedikit curhat.... Memang efek senin pagi bisa bikin orang ngelantur kemana-mana.

Okelah kalo begitu.... Saya signing off dulu, ya... See you in the next post.

Toddles.
Have a nice day wherever you are.

New Kid On The Block...and Guy Talk

2010-04-18T08:10:00.010+07:00

Lo..Hello...

It's been a while since my last post grumbling about being back to real-life business. My first week was remarkable....remarkably weird. New smell, new people, new faces, new office-culture, you named it... My new office definitely bigger than my former office, bigger building (it's a three-storey building) and bigger number of employee who works there. As people say "The Bigger is Better". On contrary, limitation of my temporal lobes function which involves processing complex stimuli of faces and scenes (well, I googled it... I just wanna look smarter...wakakakakak) made everything slightly more complicated and challenging. It REALLY took lot more times to memorize and capture everything. It's like playing game "Pick The Right Name for The Right Face" on super-fast mode and of course, with help from my social capability of awkwardness, I guess I'm not yet winning everybody's heart this week...wakakakakakakak...

Anyway, good thing about my new office is its location. I could use 5 minutes walk from my rented-room to go to my office, so I could save some of transportation expenses. And not to mention there's lot of food places around, which obviously is a very good news for my stomach!!

Speaking of cute guys department, at the new office maybe that's the first thing to look even before you know where your desk is. Sometimes I have to wake myself up for big city reality of cute guys availability, your choices are very limited from "already taken" (either married or dating), codependent-narcissist, gay and severe unfunny dudes. Well, my fairy-tale guy is someone who's got changing eye-color, blood-sucking and sparks (wait, that's Edward Cullen...wakakakakak...) Nope, my favorite guy....it would be someone who's simply cute and funny just like The Weepies's song. Cute and funny is relative, I know that......like some people think Tukul Arwana is funny and Indra Bekti is cute +oh, God please help me+

Cute and funny it's just a very nice-romantic combination of my favorite guy, it could be his cuteness make him funny or his sense of humor make him cute...well, it's pretty confusing, isn't it? haha... Usually that type a guy always makes me nervous. Every time I met that type of guy, my knees suddenly boneless and I'm stuttered...hence my ability of being awkward...huehehe.. I met a cute-funny guy once and since my life always considerably ironically-funny, he's already dated someone else (of course, yeah..) but I'm still enjoy his company for enlighten my day (thanks to you, cutie!) Cute and funny also become relative, when it comes to commitment...suddenly he becomes not that cute and funny. That's the awkwardness about relationship, it took courage to accept he's not that cute and funny anymore. But, you know people said "Love conquers all" Soo... there's still hope, right? ^_^

I hope you don't smell any desperation in this post...hehehe... I'm being hopeful here. Who knows, fairy tale does come true for some people. And since my fairy tale do not involve any guy in shining armor, riding a white horse and sparkling, it's just a guy who's cute and funny... maybe.....+cross finger+ Well, the tricky part is would it be that guy have a same thought about me....huehehehehe......

Alright, then..

I'll see in the next post.
And for cute guys out there: just remember wink at me....huehehehe...

Have a nice day wherever you are.

Toddleloo.

A Reality Comeback: New Job!

2010-04-09T08:44:00.006+07:00

I got a job!

Yep, this is it.

This is the time, I'm officially should saying goodbye to my comfort zone and embracing reality. +hiks+ I've been dramatic for this one, I must say 'comfort zone' is like strongly-addictive drugs. Well, I'm not being an ungrateful person... I guess, I'm still dancing in my comfort zone.

Alrighhhhtttt, let's moving on..... Enough being dramatic!

2 more days to reality...ARGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Okay, moving on.

Anyway, first thing first: I should find another rented room due my inhuman working hours. That's another reality-fact as a graphic designer: a lame working hours. I don't blame anybody here... it all happens just because our society working ethic. Hence a famous phrase among our society: "Kalo bisa lama, ngapain dibuat cepet". Those phrase nailed as hard as rock on the wall alongside our country symbol a mighty "Burung Garuda".

Well, I don't know what to say right now, I'm still in mourning over my addictive laziness. +sigh+

Gosh! I wanna be a witch.

There I say it, that's what I really want since I was a kid and of course, I've been raised with "Sabrina: The Teenage Witch" and "Charmed" TV series. With my lazy and crazy persona I think, becoming a witch is a perfect job choice to me even as a perfect personality.

Udah, ah

Toddleloo.
Have a nice day wherever you are.

Good Mood

2010-04-05T14:10:00.016+07:00

"The problem with having a sense of humor is often that people you use on aren't in a very good mood" (Lou Holtz)

I'm in a good mood.

Nope, I'm still jobless and broke. Nope, I ain't showering yet. Nope, I'm not dating Shia Labeouf. Nope, I'm still clueless about my future. Simple to say I'm just at ease...hehe.

Jangan tanya kenapa, karena pastinya saya juga gak tau. Perlu diakui, gue bisa tiba-tiba merasa senang hanya "terbuai" oleh hal-hal yang dianggap remeh sama kebanyakan orang. Mood baik gue dimulai ketika bangun pagi tadi. Yang biasanya bangun jam 9-an, tadi gue bangun jam 6.30 dan langsung beresin tempat tidur (FYI: ini kebiasaan gue dari kecil dan bukan karena gue penggemar pelajaran PPKn,lho..hehe... Gue cuma selalu ngerasa risih kalo liat tempat tidur yang awut-awutan) Kemudian disambung dengan sarapan bubur ayam langganan gue yang rasanya enak dan harganya murah meriah. And then, kegiatan gue berlanjut dengan ngecek status internet wireless yang dari kemaren gak aktif-aktif padahal udah diisi ulang. Voila! Ternyata internet aye berjalan dengan sangat lancar... Senangnyaaaaa........

Udah gitu aja.

Aku senang.

Basi, yeee??? Hehehe...

I'm just feeling so good +sambil joget india+

Kalau soal urusan job-hunting sebenernya minggu lalu ada sedikit pencerahan, gue dipanggil lagi untuk "tes" ngebuat desain poster, sebenarnya agak aneh karena gue belum pernah denger ada tes masuk untuk graphic designer. Mungkin banyak terjadi portfolio froggery jadi dibutuhkan pembuktian skill layaknya Naruto harus ikut tes dulu supaya bisa lulus jadi Chunin...wakakakak..

Kalo ngomongin soal sumber happiness, gue orangnya sangat gampangan. Abis makan enak aja gue bisa bahagia (recommended: Pancious Pancake Bolognaise). Maen seharian sama my best buddies udah lebih dari cukup untuk ngebuat senang dan bahagia. So far, mood swing gue hanya berkisar antara "stagnant feeling" dan "good feeling"...hehehe..

Mmm... speaking of happiness, udah pernah nonton film A Good Year? Film ini dibintangi oleh si gladiator Rusell Crowe dan french beauty Marion Cottilard serta disutradarai oleh Ridley Scott. Film yang diadaptasi dari novel berjudul sama karangan Peter Mayle ternyata asik banget dan sangat feeling-good kind of movie. Ceritanya sebenarnya sangat mudah ditebak, tapi chemistry antar pemainnya sangat bagus ditambah pemandangan countryside Provence, France sukses ngebuat gue pengen punya rumah disana. Alkisah, Max Skinner (Rusell Crowe) seorang trade booker ambisius (a.k.a a greedy bastard) asal London mendapatkan warisan sebuah chateau dari pamannya yang baru saja meninggal dunia. Tapi secara Max adalah orang yang sangat money-oriented, dia justru berniat untuk menjual chateau tersebut. Dan cerita bergulir seperti layaknya rom-com sejenis yang sangat mudah ditebak endingnya. Si Max akhirnya memutuskan terbang ke Perancis untuk mengecek chateau tersebut dan accidentally bertemu Fanny Chenal (Marion Cottilard), a Provence-local girl dan akhirnya saling jatuh cinta. And of course, you could absolutely guess the ending. A cliche but pretty nice.

Karakter Max Skinner sebenarnya sangat menyindir kehidupan di kota besar yang greedy dan artificial. It's all about power and money seperti salah satu quote Max "Winning isn't everything but the only thing!" Terkadang karena "terlalu" sibuk mikirin uang, jabatan dan kekuasan, kita terkadang menjadi lupa sama hal "remeh-temeh" dalam kehidupan, a little things like a good foods, good laugh even a good friend. It's all about winning and reigning. Salah dialog yang memorable buat gue adalah ketika Max menolak untuk tinggal di Provence (kalo sedikit misquote, maap ye..hehe)

Max: "This place does not suit my life"
Fanny: "No Max, it's your life that does not suit this place"

Film yang gue rekomendasi sebagai reminder kalo uang dan kekuasaan sebenarnya hanya sebuah temporary happiness. Familiar sama situasi berburu sepatu atau tas idaman sampe rela ngutang atau cakar-cakaran buat ngedapetinnya? Tapi anehnya nggak sampe sebulan pasti glorious feeling-nya juga udah ilang gak berbekas...hehe..

As I about to close this post, there's another sexy quote from this film.

+kissing scene Max and Fanny+
Max: "Forgive my lips, they find joy in the most unsual place......"

Alamakkkkkk........ Kalo ada yang ngomong kayak gitu sama gue, I'll give you everything either you're a man or a woman (lho?? wakakakakakakakakakakakakak......... bercanda, ah) Dan satu lagi, I toootally adore british accent from Tom Hollander, disini dia berperan sebagai Charlie Willis, sahabat si Max. Who the hell is Tom Hollander, anyway? Yang selalu ngikutin Pirates of The Carribean pasti familiar sama karakter antagonis Lord Cutler Beckett. Nah, itu dia si Tom dan honestly, he looks pretty cute in this film.

Susah bener nyari fotonya si Tom...hehe... Okay, I guess I'll see you later on the next post.

Have a nice life wherever you are.

It's Time!

2010-03-29T20:00:00.005+07:00

"Time wastes our bodies and our wits, but we waste time, so we are quits" -Author Unknown-

It’s time! It’s been 3 months and it’s becoming my comfort zone. It’s pretty hard to admit that I do enjoy this jobless moment. Being lazy and being on a state of denial that I should make a living for myself. I don’t proud of this behavior, really… but it just feels good and tempting. But deep down, there’s a voice yelled at me “ARE YOU WILL BE A LAZY FREELOADER FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, PETTY?!”

Here’s the deal, I’m not coming from big fortune family and I don’t living on my family expenses support which means if I don’t have a job, I couldn’t afford anything. Not to mention I don’t have tons of gold and dimes in my saving account. Based on those facts I don’t have a choice to spank my lazy ass and seriously looking for a job. Jobless is only for people who either too rich or too poor, not for middle class. Unfair, huh? I guess not, maybe It’s just me who motivation-less, I always on state of detachment from anything. When I get too excited about something, the more easier I lost my excitement. It feels like do a bungee-jump, the excitement, fears, curiosity, anxiety always happened on a first jump but on a second or third jump is nothing but a plain-flat feeling because you've already experienced too many emotions on a first attempt.

That's what happened to me when I was looking for my first job and because I'm an extreme, I started looking for a job even after my big final test (I presumed that I'll passed the test, anyway) and I set a 6 month limit time for got the job, if I don't get it, I failed. Yeah, I know, I lil' bit extreme on this point. So, I worked my ass up, being stressful if I'm not passed my own target, I even got anxiety attack...hehe. Guess what? I got the job on a very next day after my graduation ceremony! Wooo.... the kick-ass feeling I ever had, I still remember how it feels until now.

And here I am, a year after those amazing feelings. Jobless by choice and ironically loves it. My life is always ironically funny...hehehe. I've been there too many times. Sometimes people said I always passed good opportunity that I have. Truth to be told, finding a job is hard and I'm one of those lucky bastards who's got a job straight after my graduation. After a year of working I just quit for reason that people (and myself) couldn't understand. I quit because I just feel like it...haha..indeed, a very cocky reason. Maybe I just easily give-up on pressure and boringness, I have to admit that's been my problem since I was at school. Either the pressure it's too high or too low, it always makes me wanna runaway and get bored. Such an asshole, right?

I well aware that I have to deal with this before the time is running out, the clock is always ticking and I'm getting older on every second of my life. I decided to taking seriously this job-seeking from now on. Either I like the job or not, there will always be end-of-the-month paycheck that could buy a little sip of happiness.

Well, have a nice life wherever you are...

Toddles.

Late Thoughts

2010-03-26T22:57:00.005+07:00

It's almost late, here I am still writing this gibberish thoughts...hehe. Let's see how this post will be ended. I'll write everything that cross my mind this evening. Let's get started...

There's a saying that "Each people are special, each people are born to make it something special in life" Yeah, maybe I little misquote it but hopefully you got my point..hehe. I don't remember who said those words, but it turns out pretty helpful for not easily giving up. Giving up is the easiest choice for most circumstances. Suicide and divorce are common things to do for channeling giving up attitude. Well, I don't know about divorce, really..hehe. It's just my plain selfish accusation as act of giving up. Some people said there's lot of reasons behind those thing. Abusive partner, intolerable disagreement, economic issues, unforgivable infidelity. Maybe they already tried so hard to commit but it just didn't work out.

There's another quote that I really like, you probably know this one "Blessed Are the forgetful for they better even of their blunders." It's from Friedrich Nietzsch. If you've already watched Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, that quote became they main idea for the movie. There's many different interpretations about this quote. As to me is just simply forgive and forget, moving on. It works to me effectively, I rarely took too many glances in the past. For me whatever happens in the past stay in the past. Well, it doesn't means past isn't affect anything in the future. Of course, it does. Just don't let the past altering your future.

What am I doing here, really? Wakakakak... What am I writing about? Have you ever encounter clueless moment in life? Don't know what to do and don't have any plan. Me? Guilty as charge, darling! I've been there too many times, it sucks for sure. For me it makes me feel powerless. Sometimes I just wanna scream "GOD, WHAT THE HELL I SUPPOSED TO DOOOOOO?????!!!!!" Just give me a sign!!!! Usually, we live our life based on plan. An unwritten plan that passed in our middle class society for a hundred years..hehe.. THE PLAN is: go to school-go to the most reputable college-get a good grade-get a job-get married-have a kid-have another kid and repeat those circle your kids. And on one state in your life, when everything seems too stagnant but too many responsibilities have been put on your shoulder. You just realize with big question mark on your forehead "What am I doing here?", "Is this what I really want?", "Why am I doing this?". Hopefully I don't reach those state, but if I am so help me God. Just to even think about it makes goosebumps on my arms.

Alrighty, I better sign off, it's getting nowhere...hehe... Since I don't really know what I'm writing about.

Toddles.
Have a good night wherever you are.

Ngerasa Bersalah

2010-03-19T11:38:00.008+07:00

Reaksi yang paling gue sebel (dan fed up) semenjak gue memutuskan untuk meliburkan diri sementara dari pekerjaan dan kehidupan realita penuh tanggung jawab (sedaaaaappp......) adalah reaksi seperti:

"Ya, ampun...kenapa kok sampe keluar??".
"Petty udah dapet kerjaan lagi, belum?" (asli, pertanyaannya retoris banget, kalo gak ngapain juga siang hari gini masih maen di rumah anaknya tante...huehehe).
"Ya, udah... kamu mendingan kawin aja, deh..." (ini adalah salah satu ide yang sangat delusional... No, thanks...hehe)

Atau yang paling aneh, kemaren pas gue lagi job interview, terjadi percakapan kayak gini:

Interviewer : "Kamu kerja di kantor '........' udah setahun?"
Petty yang keren :"Iya, mas..."
Interviewer :"Kenapa memutuskan buat keluar?"
Petty yang keren :"Ya, pengen ganti suasana aja dan saya pengen ngelanjutin belajar web design"
Interviewer :"Baru setahun, ya...?" +lha, tadi kan gue udah bilang...hehehe+

Diam sejenak. +krik..krik.....+

Interviewer :".....mmmm...Sayang sekali, ya baru setahun sudah resign"

Ya, ampuuunnn....... kok jadi dia yang nyesel, ya??? Dari raut mukanya dia aja keliatan nyesel lo, bo. Jadi heran gue...wakakakakakakak... Situasi yang aneh bin lucu. Mungkin silver lining-nya dia bakal menerima gue jadi pegawainya, kali, ya...huehehehehe.... Maybe he'll took a pity on me as a dying-for-a-job-little-girl.....huekkkkkkk....

Let me tell you one thing for sure: my decision on job resignation, it's not for something to be pity of. Sangat menyebalkan kalau setiap gue bilang gue udah gak kerja, raut muka mereka langsung berubah jadi pity-look mode. Apa yang salah, ya dari keputusan gue? Heran 7 keliling.... Pertama, gue juga gak bakalan nyusahin orang lain, Kedua, emak gue aja nyantai apalagi babe gue, Ketiga dan yang paling penting, GUE-nya aja nyantai aje, this is my decision, my consequence.

Tiap kali gue bilang "I've already quit my job" Langsung, deh wajah-wajah itu pada berubah murung...huahahahaha... Memang orang Indonesia sympathetic banget, ya. Yang gak kalah seru pastinya ada orang-orang yang emang bermental assholes gak mau ketinggalan ngasih komen "menyenangkan" kayak "Jadi pengangguran, dong lo...hahahahihihihi...." dengan ekspresi lo-lebih-rendah-dari-gue-karena-gue-kerja. Coba jelaskan pada saya arti kata "Pengangguran" Define the word, please. Ada orang yang berangkat kerja tiap hari tapi pas sampe kantor cuma ngecek Facebook dan chatting... Apa bedanya sama gue coba? Oh, mungkin yang bikin berbeda orang itu pergi ke kantor tiap hari jadi kelihatannya jauh lebih "sibuk" dibanding gue yang dirumah aja. Nice... lain kali gue blogging-nya di warnet aja biar kelihatan lebih sibuk karena tiap hari harus keluar rumah. Tolong dibedakan antara "gak produktif" sama "pengangguran". Kata "Pengangguran" cuma ada ketika lo belum/tidak bekerja di kantor, sebuah kata yang dibuat oleh society. Dan supaya social-acceptable lo harus punya kerjaan di kantor walaupun kadang-kadang cuma untuk "keliatan" sibuk padahal gak produktif.

Don't take this in the wrong way, bukan berarti gue gak suka sama orang-orang yang kerja di kantor. I do know lot of people, who's very dedicated on their job dan memang menghasilkan sesuatu untuk kantornya. I dedicated this to mentally assholes people, who looks down on me just because I quit my job. Kalau meminjam pernyataan Dewi Lestari dari salah wawancara di teve "Saya produktif cuma gak sibuk". Don't pity me just because I'm still 23 and jobless. Why bother for having a job that I didn't like? I'd rather go out and play. Enjoy the moment and be productive in my own way.

Have a nice life wherever you are.... Toddles.

Parallel Synchronized Randomness

2010-03-17T14:55:00.006+07:00

Minggu-minggu ini kegiatan nonton DVD gue makin seru. Ketauan banget, ye kehidupan sosial gue gak seseru film-film DVD gue...wakakakakak.... Honestly, fiction is always more awesome than reality...hehe.. That's why Twilight laku keras gara-gara banyak cewek yang pengen punya laki-laki idaman kayak si Eddie Cullen, vampir vegetarian yang menyala dalam gelap...eh, salah (glow in the dark, kaleee...) vampir berkilau di cahaya matahari.....huahahahaha... A very weird concept of vampire.

Eniwei, balik ke topik utama, yang pernah nonton film "The Science of Sleep" karya salah satu filmmaker favorit gue, Michel Gondry, pastinya familiar dengan quote "PSR=Parallel Synchonized Randomness". Kedengarannya ilmiah dan keren banget, ye...hehehe. PSR itu maksudnya adalah kejadian-kejadian random dalam hidup yang terjadi seperti sudah direncanakan sebelum dan memang "meant to happen". Bingung? Sama, dong...hehe... Oke, let me give you an example, Pastinya pernah ngalamin situasi dimana lo kenalan sama orang dan ternyata orang itu juga kenal sama sahabat lo. Atau contoh yang lebih lucu, cowok lo selingkuh sama temen kuliahnya dan ternyata temen kuliahnya itu saudaranya sahabat lo...mmmhh?

Kejadian diatas disebut Parallel Synchronized Randomness atau lebih simpelnya "there are no coincidences in life" Kalo menurut bahasa pujangga, sih kejadian-kejadian dalam hidup udah diatur oleh alam semesta (cielah..). Gue jadi inget kejadian waktu jaman gue kuliah, alkisah gue memutuskan untuk gak satu kelompok sama "tim sukses kerja kelompok gue "(maksudnya satu kelompok sama sahabat gue yang pinter terus gue tinggal titip nama...wakakakakak...) Gue gabung sama kelompok yang gak pernah satu kalipun dalam sejarah perkuliahan gue satu kelompok sama mereka. Alhasil, kerja kelompoknya dipenuhi pertumpahan darah dan airmata gara-gara gue berantem melulu sama si ketua kelompok walaupun akhirnya kita berhasil ngerjain tugas dengan hasil yang oke dan sukses bikin gue sebel sama si pak ketua. Tapi alam semesta rupanya merencanakan sesuatu buat gue, ketika gue lagi ribet-ribetnya job hunting tiba-tiba gue dapet YM dari si ketua kalo ada vacancy di agency tempat saudaranya kerja. And guess what, his offer lead me to my first job!

Kadang-kadang keputusan yang out of habit, kayak keputusan gue buat ganti kelompok itu bisa lead you to another good things atau kalo lagi sial lead you to another sucks things. Depends how you see it, sih kalo mengutip perkataan Albert Einstein:
"There are two ways to live: you can live as if nothing is a miracle; you can live as if everything is a miracle."

Kalo gue lebih prefer pernyataan yang kedua, bikin lebih gue positive-minded dan ceria, ibaratnya makan gak makan asal ngumpul...wakakakkakak... So, I guess we should more open to all life's possibilities. Let's spread love and friendship to people.

Alrighty, have a nice life whenever you are...

Unproductively Browsing

2010-03-08T17:58:00.011+07:00

Uhuy, si pemalas back to the game.... Memang saya udah lama gak posting, alasannya? Of course, males...wakakakakakak... Seharian ini gue menghabiskan waktu dengan browsing sambil applying job vacancy, tapi kalo dari presentasenya, sih banyakan nontonin Youtube-nya dibanding applying...hehehe.. Pardon me, senang-senang emang always serves first, it's so hard to resist. Dan tadi baru aja dapet undangan interview tapi kalo denger lokasinya di daerah Pluit..bleeccchh... Gimana caranya gue kesana, secara antah berantah banget. Padahal menurut websitenya kantornya ada di daerah mampang...mmm...weird?? Haruskah gue tetap nekat kesana? Entahlah, ya nanti saja gue pikirin lagi...

Eniwei, menurut report dari Associated Press (AP) film "The Hurt Locker" berhasil membawa pulang Oscar buat "Best Picture" plus Kathryn Bigelow yang juga berhasil membawa pulang Oscar untuk "Best Director" Senangnyaaa..... Gue pikir bakal Avatar..hehe.. Even gue suka sama Avatar baik dari segi cerita maupun inovasi teknis-nya tapi kayaknya "Best Picture" terlalu 'too much', deh... Honestly gue agak kaget waktu Avatar menang Golden Globe dan James Cameron menang Golden Globe "Best Director". Di Oscar hari ini "The Hurt Locker" berhasil membawa pulang 6 Oscar dari 9 nominasi termasuk "Best Original Screenplay" yang ditulis Mark Boal. Buat yang belum nonton "The Hurt Locker" silahkan dicari, deh filmnya.. Recommended watch, lho film ini. Buang jauh-jauh persepsi kalo award-winning film susah dicerna dan bikin boring (some of them, yes...hehe) tapi untuk "The Hurt Locker" film ini sangat menarik untuk ditonton, ceritanya mengalir dengan baik dan dikemas dengan pengambilan gambar yang semi-dokumenter sehingga berasa lebih "real". Tema filmnya juga berbeda dari film-film mengenai perang sejenis, yang biasanya mengambil cerita dari combat soldier-nya kayak "Black Hawk Dawn" atau "Saving Private Ryan" alias tembak-tembakan terus...hehehe... walaupun emang seru.

Malam ini gue berencana ngelanjutin nonton "Sense and Sensibility" (yang main Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant, sama si "Professor Snape" Alan Rickman ) Gue berhasil nemuin DVDnya weekend kemaren tapi belum nonton sampai tuntas karena keburu modar...wakakakakak... Kayaknya harus ada limit dosis untuk nonton DVD dan sebaiknya tidak lebih dari 3 film/hari secara maraton. Kayaknya nonton DVD udah jadi addiction buat gue, dari dulu gue gak bisa tidur sebelum nonton DVD dulu at least 1 film.

Weekend kemaren, gue dapet banyak DVD yang cukup interesting. Yang udah gue nonton baru 4 film:

The Piano: Filmnya Jane Campion tahun 1993. Kalo mau liat si Sookie Stackhouse waktu masih kecil, tonton film ini. Aktingnya oke banget, pantas saja kalo Anna Paquin dapet Oscar's "Best Supporting Actress" untuk perannya ini. Shot-shot gambarnya indah dan poetic. Cerita dan karakternya juga kuat. Superb performances!!
Secretary: Ini film one of a kind yang pernah gue tonton!!! Inilah romantic-comedy film dengan tema "sadomasokis". Iye, lo gak salah denger... Eh, tapi jangan berkhayal kalo film ini bakalan hardcore atau serem...hehe... Jauh banget dari situ, kok. Diperankan oleh Maggie Gyllenhaal dengan sangat keren!!! Believablely strange!! tapi entah mengapa, film ini cukup romantis buat gue, despite their sexual act yang tidak biasa....hehe...nice!!
In Bruges: Gue emang telat nonton film ini. Padahal udah banyak review yang bilang kalo akting Colin Farrell disini sayang untuk dilewatkan. Ternyata emang benar sekali, kawan!!!! Kalo biasanya gue selalu liat Colin berperan sebagai tough guy, disini dia sukses berperan sebagai hitman yang rada bloon dan berpotensi suicidal...hehe... Dengan aksen Irish yang asik buat didenger ditambah alur cerita ala Guy Ritchie. Film kocak ini sukses menghibur gue apalagi lokasi Bruges, Belgium yang fairytale-like akan ngebuat penonton ingin berkunjung kesana.
28 Weeks Later: Gue selalu suka film zombie asal gak terlalu gore dan bukan buatan Owe Boll...hehe. Udah lama gue berencana nonton film ini, tapi entah kenapa tiap kali mo beli gak jadi melulu. Sekuel yang cukup mumpuni untuk film 28 Days Later. Lebih high-paced dan bikin adrenaline-rush. Dari segi cerita juga bagus dan mengalir dengan enak. Well done!

Cukup memuaskanlah untuk penalakukan gue kali ini. Soalnya agak jarang untuk dapetin mood dan film yang pas buat DVD maraton. Kadang-kadang mood gue lagi oke banget, film selection lagi gak ada yang oke atau vice versa. Nice weekend for me indeed!!

Okay, Toddles everyone!!!
Have a nice life wherever you are...

FAQ: Kapan Kawin?

2010-02-10T22:35:00.007+07:00

Gak peduli lo double ataupun lo single pastinya pertanyaan ini muncul di banyak kesempatan. Ada yang nanya langsung straight-to-the-point atau kayak cara emak gue yang lebih terselubung kayak waktu makan di Solaria kemaren "Yah... Kalo menurut Mamah, sih paling lambat menikah di usia 30 tahun" atau cara babe gue yang lebih seru kayak gini "Udah malem minggu, nih, kak... Kagak nyari cowok, nih??" (kambing kali dicari...).

Emang bener kalo banyak yang bilang tugas orangtua untuk "ngerecokin" kehidupan anaknya gak bakalan pernah berhenti. Udah lulus SMA, pastinya orangtua nanya "Mo masuk jurusan apa?" atau ada beberapa orangtua yang menggunakan "parental power abuse"-nya dengan asiknya nyuruh masuk jurusan yang bahkan tu anak sendiri gak tau jurusan itu mengenai apaan. Setelah kita obey dan lulus kuliah... Parents will say "Wait a minute, kiddo... our business ain't finished yet" Pastinya kita disuruh cari kerja dan yang selalu bikin gue heran mereka gak peduli kalo kerjaan yang didapet sama anaknya gak sesuai sama ilmu yang udah mereka ambil di kuliahan. Lha?? terus ngapain juga, dongggg... kuliah lama-lama kerjanya bidang yang sama sekali beda.. Mari kita tanya sama Galileo aja, buuu....

Udah kerja, nih, ya... Wait a minute, masih belum cukup, dong.. Kalo yang udah double, Disuruh kawin lah kita. Dan yang masih single disuruhlah cari pacar buat dikawinin dan kalo bisa segeralah dihamili..wakakakakak... Baru, deh kelar urusannya. Dan kita bisa memulai siklus itu lagi ke anak-anak kita. Terus aja gitu sampe mati.

Sebenarnya desakan gue supaya kawin belum begitu intense, sih.... Tapi tinggal tunggu aja saatnya..hehe.. Apalagi bentar lagi gue 23 tahun dan biasanya desakan bakalan makin seru pas elo mulai 25-an keatas. Yang bakalan lebih bawel pastinya Oom sama Tante gue (namanya juga Oom2 sama Tante2...wakakakakakak..) Apalagi salah satu sepupu gue baru aja nikah dan umurnya cuma setahun diatas gue dan gosipnya she's already pregnant now. Hal yang paling gue gak siap dari pernikahan diusia 20-an adalah hamil dan ngurus anak. Dan gue sangat aware kalo pernikahan gak babies-proof ditambah gue perempuan yang pastinya punya rahim expired date...wakakakakak... Makanya ladies, untuk itulah anda disuruh nikah cepet-cepet...huehehehe.

Sounds ironic? Emang iya.... Gue selalu mengganggap beban sosial dan moral perempuan gak bakalan pernah berubah dari zaman medieval sampe zaman modern kayak sekarang. Atau emang udah kodratnya? Geez, I don't know.... Bukannya gue anti-pernikahan, ya.. Cuma gue berpendapat kalo keputusan untuk menikah itu bukan karena "harus" tapi karena "ingin". Apalagi bukan karena social-cycle (lulus kuliah-kerja-menikah-punya anak) dan rasanya terlalu merendahkan institusi pernikahan kalo alasan untuk menikah gara-gara social-cycle doang. Dan bahkan untuk beberapa orang menikah atau tidak menikah adalah pilihan.

Jadiiiiii..... plisssss emak-babe jangan suruh anakmu ini cepet-cepet kawinnnnn...... Aku masih mau ke Italy dalam status single biar bisa mingle dengan pria-pria Italy macam si Fabio, Antonio, Alessandro...wakakakakakakak...

Semoga emak-babe gue baca postingan gue kali ini +wink+
Ini adalah salah satu dari sekian banyak birthday wishlist gue tahun ini...hehehe...

Toddles.
Have a good life wherever you are....

Back To Jobless

2010-01-29T13:27:00.001+07:00

Whazzupppp….yo..yo!!!

Petty’s back for reality check!!! Hehehe… It’s been a very long long long time for not updating this blog. It seems so many things to spread a little in this world wide web. There are a lot of things going on in my semi-interesting life. But the most interesting part is that I QUIT MY JOB! Boom! Just like that…hehehe… Actually, it’s kinda trill to realize that I’ve been worked for a year. That’s pretty awesome for a person who’s never ever work before like myself…wakakakak. Why did I quit? It’s simple, I fed up and I think, it will be nice if I could just have a little reality break…hehe.

And that moment I started to hate my job and I tried to avoid that feeling so I’d rather quit. Cause I just don’t wanna hate something that I love. I mean I do love design but at that moment, I almost hate my job as graphic designer. The client acted like they know better about communication design than all people in my office. Well, maybe is another reality check: Clients are naturally designed to be pain in the ass know-it-all assholes.

On contrary, I got no problem at all with my office-mate. Well, the salary wasn’t that good but I think I can manage that…hehehe... It’s never been a problem really. Mmm…well, it does, when I bought too many shoes and DVD…wakakakak. It’s pretty sad to leave them actually. They all cool both as a colleague and as a friend. I had so many good times there.

It’s been almost a month being a happy jobless, boringness is not attack myself yet and I’m still have a little money from my last salary, so… I think I’m doing just fine so far. I’m like a nun in convent without the prayer stuff of course…huehehehe… Do DVD marathon – activity that I missed the most. Another reality check: Work could eating your free time out. Read books – I think I missed a couple good books out there. I found new magical series. Well, maybe it wasn’t that new…. It titled “Percy Jackson and The Olympians”. A nice magical journey. It’s very entertaining with adventurous-adrenaline pace. You could put this book in between “Bartimaeus Trilogy” and “Harry Potter series”. And of course, please leave out “Magyk” by Angie Sage, because that book is too retarded for me. I also recommended “The Hunger Games” by Suzanne Collins – the post-apocalyptic action drama novel that will rush your adrenaline.

Well, I guess that's it my life recap..hehe..

Have a good day whenever you are.

Toddles...

I Just Feel Like It

2009-11-02T11:17:00.005+07:00

Maybe I'm one of those people, who's use less logical reasoning when chose something. I believe my intuition. Though, it wasn't always right but it never lies. Of course, there's a moment when I'm doubting my intuition. In life, there's too many choices (and decision) when you have to put aside your intuition a little while and let your logical mind to lead you. But..... It didn't work, not for me. That's not how I roll, man.... Hehehe....

When I'm involving too many logical reason as a basis on my decision, it leads me to confusion. My head became chaotic. It seems there's too many things I have to measured. For almost 23 years of my life, most of my decision based on my "I just feel like it" moment. My high school choice (I switched from private school to public school after I spent 10 years in private school), my college choice (I chose the most unknown college for "common" society), my decision for "only" took diploma degree instead of bachelor degree and when I decided A.J. Backstreet Boys is hotter than Nick Carter... Hehe.. Anyway, you got my point, right?

Some of my friends and some of my parents friends sometimes questioning my decision. I assumed (see? intuition talks... ^_^) They believe most of time that I took impulsive decisions on everything in my life. Even it called "Intuition" it never impulsive, not with my intuition. My intuition is a convincer...hehe.. Now I sound like Sherlock Holmes. The thing is... I just know what I'm doing, what I'm gonna do, how I'm gonna do it, and I just feel like it. I know, this style of decision-making isn't last forever. The older you get, the more reason you need. "I just feel like it" reason won't suit you when you decided to quit your job, when you propose to someone, when you switch your spiritual belief, even when you decided not get married at 20's. Even you're the one who lives your life, there are still many involvement in our life. Your social-peer, your best buddies, your society and not to mention ultimate power of our parents opinion. Especially, there's always a social standard you have to follow and if you don't, they'll talk. And most of these talks neither ear-friendly nor heart-friendly. Maybe you just need to balancing this method, the logical ones with "just feel like it" method. Or...... Try my forte, I usually make my "just feel like it" reason seems so convincing and prospectiveness.

Anyway, even so I'm a very intuitive, I'm still look both ways when I cross the street, I'm still put some logical mind for never wearing fishnet stocking and do before-married sex... But...well, if Zachary Quinto asked me to maybe I'll change my mind...wakakakakak... The bottom line is, whatever method you'll be using in decision-making, you always have to be the person who's lead the way. Not your parents, not your best buddy and not even God (that's what makes the terrorist).

Well, hopefully this post got added value for your insight ^_^

Alright, enough for the blabber...
Gotta back to real world.
Toddle loo.

Absurd Quote?

2009-10-22T13:57:00.003+07:00

Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life… But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin’ else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you’ve got heroin?*

Jakarta's Traffic Mystery

2009-10-16T14:51:00.007+07:00

Selain misteri penciptaan dunia yang masih terus diperdebatkan sama banyak ilmuwan, kayaknya misteri kemacetan Jakarta juga wajib untuk terus dipertanyakan. Bisanya emang cuma sampe level dipertanyakan doang, soalnya gue pesimis kemacetan Jakarta bisa dikurangin. Sama pesimisnya gue bisa solat lima waktu dalam seminggu...Wakakakak.. I've been realistic here!!! Eniwei, tadi pagi nih, ya.... Entah ada apaan atau kenapa Jalan Suryo yang biasanya selalu lancar tiba-tiba macet aja, gitu. I'm stuck for over than half an hour!!! Kejadiannya pas di arah keluar belokan dari Jalan Senopati. Gue sempet wondering apa ada kecelakaan atau apalah, tapi ternyata gue terlalu naif kalo berfikir demikian. Sampe ujung jalan menuju ke arah Tendean, gue berusaha mencari tahu apa sih penyebab kemacetannya. Surprisingly, there's nothing... It's like yelling "Lagi pengen macet aja, buuuuuu" +dengan gaya bencong+ Way to go to ruined my morning!

Nyampe kantor pastinya gue telat, which I hate it so much. I don't like being late, it's like againts my way of life or something.... wakakakak...

Omong-omong soal macet, gue lagi suka banget nonton serial House M.D. (iye, kagak nyambung emang...) It's so wit and charming, recommended banget! It's like CSI but set in hospital. Theme-nya adalah solving medical mystery gitu. Yang sebenernya bikin gue addict banget adalah karakter Dr. Gregory House yang eksentrik. He's witty, sarcastic, anti-social, brilliant, medical maverick, and also a pain killers-addict (yeah, that's right) But, all of his vices also being his virtues. Charming character, indeed! Karakter Dr. House diperankan dengan oke banget sama aktor Hugh Laurie. Famous quote dari Dr. House (yang juga selalu dia ulang di tiap episode) adalah "Everybody lies". Tontonan yang pas kalo lo nyari serial dengan dialog yang smart disertai dark humor.
Enough blabbering, I guess
Gotta back to real life.

1 Week and 2 Days of Redemption Report

2009-09-28T10:17:00.009+07:00

Yuhhuuuuu....

First of all, I would like to say "Happy Eid Mubarak" to everyone. How your one week of wondrous holiday? Mine? Pretty delightful, actually although I got sick for two days (what a waste of holiday!) Since my grandma lived nearby, my family and I didn't practice what-so-called Indonesian famous tradition a.k.a Mudik... Thanks to that, because there's lot chaos and death in those mudik thingie. Even so, I'll be excited if I got a chance to do long-hours journey across the provinces...hehe.

Anyway, a little update about my sexy iPod. He's doing just fine, guys.... Got a new sleeve for him, a very nice iSkin Evo4 Duo in PopStar color (yep, he's look lil' bit kinky now...hehe).
Speaking of Ied Mubarak, I felt there's no something really festive in this year celebration. The Holy Day of Muslim people seems just passed by like a breeze. I remember when I was a kid, I always feel of excitement every time Ied Mubarak came closer. Long period of school holiday, new clothes, new stuff and of course, being money-grubbing to my uncles and other older relatives....Wakakakak (pardon my exaggerated term) This year I got excited for Ied Mubarak just because of one week holiday which I bet those holiday will be my longest stripping free-time ever!!! Bought lots of unnecessary stuff and tons of DVD. I bought a cute-purse or in another word I bought a children wallet...hehe. This purse got this cute cat image and plenty of compartment....cutieeeeeeeeeee.....

Also bought tons DVD, since I'm so rarely to do my favorite marathon watching. And I also discovered this unlikely fairytale love story starred by Franka Potente (known for her role opposite Matt Damon in The Bourne Identity) title The Princess and the Warrior (Der Krieger und die Kaiserin) The story is about a psych-ward nurse named Sissi, who's fall in love with small time criminal named Bodo (sorry for the name, man.. It's German.... Wakakakak...) who's save her on a car accident. Sissi happened to believe that both of them are destined to each other. She began to stalk him in order to make him believe that they meant for each other (yeah....psycho big time..wakakakak) Even though, Bodo told her that they don't meant fo each other and pushed her away. They constantly met in peculiar circumtances such as on a bank robbery (which happened to be Bodo as the bank robber). If you fond to film contain with peculiar stuff and odd sense, this movie is definitely for you. Totally recommended! You gotta watch it! (note: pretty similar with "Love Me If You Dare" only darker and less-surreal).

Okey dokey, blabbering times up!! Gotta back to work.
I'll see you soon
Bye.

Have a nice day wherever you are.....

On-The-Move

2009-09-11T10:17:00.007+07:00

Yes, I am indeed.... I'm on-the-move planning so much. I finally decided to move back to my parents house this month. Since my office new policy stated there'll be no more overtime-working again (speaking of company financial-reducing act, duh?) Which is means my office hours will ended 5.30 PM everday. Nice.. Justice rules!! So, I think, I could manage BSD-Kemang-BSD everyday. Because there's no use being "anak kost" again. Since I'm easily to get bored everytime I went home early, stranded alone and got nothing to do at all. It seems my overtime-working changed my body-cycle or something. My brain constantly working until 12 AM-or more and it sucks if you got nothing to do at all. Can you imagine any constructive activity due 5.30 PM until 12 AM when you all alone without any human being beside you? Mmmm... I tend to be suicidal if I'm alone...wakakakakak. Plus I missed "ngelamun" activity on my way home or vice versa. With iPod played smoothly in my ear, sitting on window side of the bus, watching traffic jam outside and my head's ready to flown away from reality. Nice...

Sometimes, I picked up couples random awesome ideas during that constructive activity..hehe.. Well, maybe I just love being only with my thoughts. What I hate is when someone doing chit-chat with me while I'm on the bus. Not all people maybe, what I meant is, people you don't expect to meet. Like what-so-called annoying old friend who's bragging about their successful or conquering-the-world-type of story. It's not mean that I don't like listen to other people's story of life. It supposed to be my "me" time and it just annoy me when someone ruins my sacred moment. Anyway, life isn't supposed to be told, it has to be walked in it. You can told about your life when you already have grandchildren. Feel freely bragging about your conquering-life story. You're only live for 20-something years of life, what kind of life you already have anyway? Well, except you've got bitten with superpower spider or something..wakakakakak.

Now, practically still got no job to do. All my works still on a waiting list for client approval. Sometimes, I wonder why it took a long time of approval for such a very simple design like x-banner. I mean, it just a template, people! Same layout, same image and the only differences is the merchant's benefit. +sigh+

All right, then.. See you on the next post.
I'll post my goodbye-notes of my rent-room...hehe..
Toddles.

I've Just Destroyed My A-Month-Old iPod

2009-09-07T10:17:00.007+07:00

+nangis darah+
monyet.kampret.sontoloyo.geblek.bego.bego.bego.bego.bego.bego
Baru aja sebulan, gue udah (as always) broke anything I have. F-U-C-K!!!!!
Kronologis menyedihkan ini adalah semalem seperti biasa gue lagi asik-asik aja gitu masukin video sama film baru ke iPod gue. Terus pas tadi pagi gue nyalain, I sense something weird about my sexy black 120 gigs. Pertama, ada beberapa Cover Album yang gak ke-detect sama si iPod, gue dengan sotoy-nya sok berpikir "ah, paling nih gara-gara sync-nya gak bener di windows gue" tapi setelah itu, I sensed something really really wierder, "kok, lagu-lagunya suka ke-skip sendiri" Wahhhhhhhhh....ini pertanda emang iPod gue udah kenapa-napa. Apalagi pas gue masuk menu Cover Flow, cover art-nya banyak yang gak ke-detect dan parahnya ada beberapa yang gambarnya kayak gambar TV rusak, gitu!!!!!!! WTFOMG!!! What s shitty shitty thing!!!!!!!!! I've already reset it, it works but my iTunes couldn't detect my iPod!!! How am I gonna restore it, huh????!!!!

Alright, I need to cool off my head for a while I even couldn't concentrate to post this. +sigh+
Panic attack big time.

Counting Down Part 2.

2009-09-03T10:48:00.005+07:00

Yuhuuuuuuuu........

I'm back again for another blabbering and grumbling. How are you doin' so far on this lovely almost-noon time? Me? Still counting down the days to the weekend of course! Can't hardly wait for Idul Fitri holiday, my office will give us one wonderous week of holiday!! What a wonderful time it will be, huh? Last night after boring big time at office, I spent a leisure time with my after work partner-in-crime, Icut on Plaza Senayan. I totally got tons of fun, totally paid my boring moment at the office. We went for sushi and watch "The Proposal". For love of God.... I think, I won't get enough to see stripped Ryan Reynolds in my life. My head and heart couldn't stop yelling "I WANT MORE, I WANT MORE, I WANT MORE!!!!" And again, I wish I could bought him for me...HUAHAHAHA. Ryan Reynolds for one, please! The movie is totally entertaining and funny, the whole people in theater laugh for all the jokes and stupid things Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds did. And I also craved an ankle-boots on ZARA, speaking of another consumerism debit card swipe this weekend.

Wait, my pray is answered, I got job to do!
I'll guess I'll see you, then
Bye.

Counting Down (with special bonus an earthquake vibes)

2009-09-02T14:34:00.007+07:00

Counting down the hour to the end of office-hour... +tick-tock+
Gee... Still three more boring hours to go. Damn! Still got no work to do, I just hope I could go home and sleep like those good old days back in college... Wakakakak. Or even better go sight-seeing in the mall and Kinokuniya bookstore until fasting hour is done. Wait a minute.... I just feel an earthquake vibes...Hiiiiiiii. Based on portal news DetikNews there is a real earthquake on Tasikmalaya with 7.3 scala richter power with Tsunami potential. Please God don't let it happen, it's not even year 2012 and I'm still 22 (and single) Wakakakakak...

Speaking of 2012-armageddon prophecy, people are getting crazier about that stuff. They published lots of books based on that Maya prediction even Hollywood released a big budget film titled "2012" directed by Roland Emmerich, the director who's specialized on disaster film. Have you seen the full trailer? Watch it, guys... It's horrifiying! I just hope when it happen, I've already in heaven (hey, I'm rhyming...huehehehe). I've always been doubtful about any prediction about armageddon or other stuff about massive destruction. I mean, who are we, really? We just a tiny living creatures in this gigantic universe. But people are easy to drawn for something that got huge dramatic effect. But it's good point as reminder for people to be more concern about our planet.

But I got own theory about 2012 prophecy. If (note that, I say "IF) the prophecy proved to be true, which is we have to wait until December 22, 2012 to find out. If our world must turn into dust through horrifiying destructive process. I believe, all things that happened because it should happened. It's just like when Dinosaurus vanished from Earth million years ago. It's like a circle of life process. Like birth-live-die process. I think, Earth (or universe) also has that kind of pattern. Maybe year 2012 is on pattern "die" or I believe on "rebirth" mode. Maybe, universe is on his way to "rebirth" for something advance. Human being is on their way for being more advanced creatures. Remember those Pre-historic humans and with evolution turned to creature like "us". Maybe human in this modern day are ready to be replaced for something new and sophisticated creature. Able walk through the wall, maybe? Wakakakak....

Well, that's just thoughtless opinion from a smart-ass girl. But, if I'm still alive and healthy when the disaster occur. I got some to-do list: (yeah, it's not necessarily in order. Of course, it'll be involved some panic attacks..hehe)

Holding hands together with family
Pray, hoping it won't be a painful process. Hopefully, it'll be quick (maybe anesthetic shot will help..wakakak)
The day before, I'll go full time for food-pleasuring with my best buddies

Well, pretty much that's it. I could not even imagine if that thing really happened...Wakakakak. I'll be scared shitless +knocking on the wood+

It's 5.45 pm now.... Still 45 minutes to go home. Better...hehe..
I guess I'll see you soon.
Bye.

Constructive Activity During Chronic-Sleepiness

2009-08-27T14:08:00.007+07:00

Pertama,
Menghitung jam sambil sesekali wondering "Kok masih lama banget, yah?"

Kedua,
Download lagu sebanyak-banyak sampe gak tau mau download lagu siapa lagi.
Ketiga,
Nulis blog tanpa tujuan jelas. Ngalor ngidul aja gitu...
Keempat,
Menghitung jam sambil sesekali wondering "Kok masih lama banget, yah?"

Yasud, step-nya berulang aja terus kayak lingkaran setan sampe waktu pulang nanti. Gila, ya! Hari ini gue ngantuk banget, gak kayak biasanya, loh. Hari ini mata gue berat banget. Gue pikir setelah lunch-break mata gue bisa kembali normal, gak kayak sekarang serasa digantungin Jembatan Suramadu... Sumpeeeee, berat bangets!!!

It's here, beibeh..... Computer Arts Projects: The Illustration Issue..... Uhuy!!! I love it! Senengnya dapet barang baru. Kemaren gue juga udah beli Cinemags Edisi September, kali ini dengan cover film Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Jake Gylenhaal looks damn hawt!!! Apalagi Jake bakalan tampil dengan adegan shirtless yang cukup banyak di film Prince of Persia. Hohoho... Bener-bener kelemahan gue banget, deh. Everytime actors go shirtless in films, I lose my sanity +lebai mode on+ Wakakakakak..... Anyway, gue lagi pengen beli albumnya Beck yang "Sea Change" Tadi gue cari di Aksara gak ada lagi..huh. Udah basi memang, secara albumnya juga udah rilis dari 2002 (kalo gak salah) Kayaknya bakalan susah nyarinya, nih. Mungkin gue harus cek Aquarius juga kali, ye. Atau yang lebih oke lagi, nih kalo temen gue udah ada yang punya, gue pinjem trus gue copy aja....Problem solve...Wakakakak.

+eyelids almost shut+
"Eh, pet lo naro file flyer pick-up yang kemaren dimana?"
+drag my lazy ass+
+jalan ke meja bos gue+
"File-nya ada di desktop lo, kemaren gue taro disitu"
Bos nyaut "Oke, thanks.."
+move back lazy fat ass to my seat+
Terus ngetik percakapan yang baru aja kejadian 5 menit lalu. Wakakakak.... I'm getting crazier.

Udah, ah capek....hehe.. Dan bos memanggil gue untuk badai otak dulu.

100 Posts!!!!!!!!!!!!

2009-08-27T09:18:00.006+07:00

Woooooo...hooooooooooo.....

Akhirnya postingan gue sampai ke postingan ke-100 juga!!! Hohoho.. Sebenernya postingan ini adalah yang ke-101, can't believe ternyata gue udah posting sebanyak itu walaupun gak penting..wakakakak. Anyway, puasa hampir seminggu dan ini pertama kalinya gue ngejalanin puasa dalam dunia anak kos. So far, so well adjusted lah... Walaupun kadang-kadang gue merindukan dilayanin pas sahur sama buka kayak dirumah, pas mau sahur atau buka semua udah siap sedia di meja makan dan sahur aja tinggal nunggu dibangunin. But I think all that stuff it's part of my process to be less dependent (halah...).

+liat kiri, liat kanan+
Huh, sleepy... Dan yang bikin tambah seru gue juga lagi gak ada kerjaan, jadinya malah bikin gue tambah ngantuk. Temen-temen lagi sibuk sendiri seperti biasanya dan copywriter gue juga lagi sibuk ada kerjaan. Biasanya gue berdikusi tingkat tinggi sama dia seputar gosip seleb luar dan dalam negeri yang bisa mempengaruhi ekosistem dunia pergosipan...wakakakak.. Kadang-kadang juga disisipi dengan diskusi intelektualitas seputar buku-buku yang pengen dibaca bareng buat book club kita (Suddenly I feel damn smart already...+wink+) Lunch-break plan adalah beli Computer Arts Projects: The Illustration Issue di Aksara, kemaren gue udah mo beli dua, tuh. Yang The Perfect Portfolio Issue udah kebeli tinggal yang Illustration aja. Gara-gara my damned Niaga debit card gak bisa aja dipake di Aksara. What a lame...!!! Berarti emang cocok tuh bank buat nabung, debit card-nya gak bisa dipake di semua merchant....hehehe... Gak kayak Mandiri gue yang bisa dipake dimana aja, jadilah gue selalu dihadapkan dengan bokek-moment melulu.

Oya, I've already bought a brand new iPod Classic!!!!! Huuuuuu..... My sexy black-120 gigas!! Officially replaced my 512 MB Samsung mp4 Player... Wow, huge leap banget dari 512 MB ke 120 GB...huehehehe.. Sempet tergoda buat beli iPod Touch, sih soalnya super-duper sexy banget, tuh..hehe.. Tapi kapasitasnya cuma 8 GB, aye lagi gak kepengen menyortir lagu-lagu buat dimasukin ke dalam iPod. Pengen langsung seabrek satu album atau satu iTunes library gue masukin semua! Maybe next time iPod Touch, darling!! Aduuhhhhhh...mata gue rasanya mo nutup aja, nih.... Ngantuk tingkat tinggi banget.

Ngomongin soal ngantuk, gue jadi keinget mimpi gue tadi pagi yang surreal banget (namanya juga mimpi..wakakakak). Masa' gue mimpiin giant baboon lagi ngegaruk-garuk pintu kamar kos gue, serem gila!! Kenapa juga gue harus mimpiin babon monyet afrika yang serem, kenapa gak gue dikasih mimpi ketemu Johnny Depp atau apaan, kek yang indah-indah kayak makan sushi bareng Johnny Depp, gitu... hehe... Mungkin ini gara-gara abis solat Subuh gue langsung tidur bukannya ngaji...HUAHAHAHAHA.... Solat aja udah bagus pake ngaji segala... Harapan anda terlalu sombong, nak!! Ingat kata pepatah bijak "Don't push your luck" HUAHAHAHAHA.

+nguap gede+
Untuk mengisi waktu luang dengan bijak gue melakukan pen-download-an secara membabi buta album-album musisi paporit gue buat gue masukin ke si item-seksi itu. By the way, recommended, nih albumnya Regina Spektor yang baru judulnya "Far". Udah tersedia di Aksara, mungkin Disctara atau Duta Suara juga udah ada kayaknya. Buat yang suka Tori Amos atau wanita-wanita berpiano lainnya boleh, nih buat dicoba didengerin albumnya. Musiknya seperti percampuran Tori Amos sama Kate Nash, gitu. Gak terlalu dark kayak Tori tapi juga gak terlalu ceria kayak Kate. Enaaakkkkkk sekaliiiii......hehehe.

Alrighty, makin gak bisa konsen gue gara-gara mata semakin pengen nutup aja...... I cannot control it!! See you later, then...

Dadah.
Have a nice day wherever you are.

Nonton "Merah Putih" Bonus (liat) Darius Sinathrya

2009-08-25T14:21:00.007+07:00

Helllooooooooowwwwwww..............

Sepertinya udah lama banget gak posting..hehehe... Nope, gue gak akan ngasih alesan "karena kesibukan gue-lah" atau "..been busy with whatever unnecessary stuff I've been done lately..." dan another blah...blah..hehe. Alasannya simpel, kawan-kawanku.... Gue hanya sedang tidak mood untuk posting apapun, dimanapun dan kapanpun...wakakakak... Padahal lumayan banyak kejadian seru akhir-akhir ini dan cukup banyak film yang pengen gue review. Sepertinya biasanya, gue udah hampir nonton semua film-film new release di XXI dan Blitz Megaplex (FYI, di BSD-Bintaro Sanaan Dikit..hehe.. Udah ada Blitz Megaplex, bo.... Aseeek, dah). Tapi, ada satu film yang cukup beruntung (halah...) yang akan gue review hari ini. Film tersebut adalah +drum roll, please+ MERAH PUTIH...huehehe. Padahal udah ketauan banget dari judul post gue, ye.

Anyway, film-nya boring. Wakakakak...sekian review dari saya. Hwahahahahahaha... Tenaaannnggg.... Yuk, mari, deh kita mulai review ala kritikus sok tau ini.

Alkisah, Merah Putih menceritakan sekelompok pemuda yang bersemangat untuk bergabung ke dalam STR (Sekolah Tentara Rakyat) Ber-setting-kan tahun 1947, 2 tahun setelah deklarasi kemerdekaan RI untuk bersiap-siap menghadapi Agresi Militer Belanda I. Para pemuda itu adalah Amir (Lukman Sardi) seorang guru Muslim, Marius (Darius Sinathrya) dan Soerono (Zumi Zola) yang berasal dari keluarga priayi, Dayan (T. Rifnu Wikana) yang berasal dari Bali dan Tomas (Donny Alamsyah) petani Kristen dari Sulawesi Utara. Dengan menampilkan para karakter utama yang berasal dari latar belakang agama, kebudayaan dan daerah yang berbeda-beda diharapkan (pastinyaa....) dapat membawa hawa Bhineka Tunggal Ika.

Naaahhh.... Kalau lo semua mengharapkan film perang ala Saving Private Ryan atau Full Metal Jacket. Bersiaplah untuk membuang jauh-jauh harapan itu ke laut. Film Merah Putih sangat jauh dari itu baik dari segi cerita maupun makna perang itu sendiri. Esensi nasionalismenya gak ngena buat gue. Gue lebih berasa nasionalis ketika nonton Garuda Di Dadaku, rasanya bangga aja gitu jadi orang Indonesia. Nonton Merah Putih berasa nonton film perang Vietnam ala Rambo, gitu. Kalo soal efek ledakannya boleh-lah, secara digarap oleh Adam Howarth (yang emang ambil andil juga dalam film Saving Private Ryan dan Black Hawk Down) Plot-nya gak okeeeeee, mannnnn... Aye kuciwa!! Lagian kenapa juga, sih penulis skrip-nya bukan orang Indonesia (Gue lupa siapa nama penulisnya) yang jelas bikin gak kerasa feel perjuangannya, seolah-olah teriakan "MERDEKA!!!" cuma sebagai tempelan aja biar orang tetap ingat kalo kita lagi nonton film perjuangan kemerdekaan RI.

Karakter-karakter utama juga kurang dibangun dengan kuat. Yang dapat diacungi jempol cuma karakter Tomas sama Dayan. Donny Alamsyah bermain bagus dan pas sebagai petani yang mudah naik darah dan membabi-buta dalam membunuh musuh-musuhnya. Jadi pengen nonton film-film dia sebelumnya and note for the girls, He's definitely sexy here..wakakakak.. Bad boy gimana, gitu..huehehe.. T. Rifnu Wikana juga bermain apik sebagai orang Bali dengan aksennya yang gak terkesan dibuat-buat (katanya, sih dia memang sering dapet karakter orang Bali). Kalo soal Darius, yaaa.... Dia emang diperuntukan untuk menyegarkan mata gue terutama ketika dia shirtless...+wink+ Kayaknya, cowok-cowok shirtless di film emang selalu caught my eye. Yang gak keren aja jadi keren kalo tiba-tiba shirtless...HUAHAHAHAHA.

Anyhow, film ini agak mengecewakan kalau bertujuan untuk ngasih liat ke publik soal perang perjuangan mempertahankan kemerdekaan RI. Tapi, sangat dihargai usahanya untuk membawa kembali semangat nasionalisme dan me-rewind sejarah bangsa kita ini. Yaaa... Di tengah maraknya film soft-porn horor lokal yang makin gak penting, Merah Putih definitely worth to watch. Mungkin sekuel-nya bisa lebih menarik lagi (FYI, Merah Putih adalah film pertama dari "Trilogi Merdeka") walaupun gue gak suka film ini, I'll wait for the sequel!

Highlight after watch adalah gue liat (inget, liat, yaa..bukan ketemu...kayak kenal aja gue sama Darius.. Wakakakakak) Darius Sinathrya pas gue lagi buka puasa bareng sama temen-temen gue di Pasar Modern BSD cuma beda 3 meja doang!!!! It was a breathtaking moment...huehehehe.... Asli! He looks much better on real life +sigh+ I wish, I could ask my dad to bought him for me, pengennnnnnnnnnnnn......punya...... He's definitely a guy that I allowed to impregnated me...HUAHAHAHAHAHA. Mungkin ini sebuah pertanda, abis nonton filmnya, gue langsung liat in person. Siap-siap aja nonton di infotainment, ya...wakakakak.

Alright, beibeh... See you on the next post.
Toddles.

Semi-Late Night Post

2009-07-29T22:34:00.007+07:00

I guess, I'm having low blood sugar tonight, maybe it causes by small amount of sleep....

Hopefully, I'll have tons of fun after work....wakakakak... Life is getting crazier now... Well, not really actually I'm just being dramatic...hehe..
Sooo...how's your weekend everybody? Me? Never better I even watched Hannah Montana: The Movie last week...hehehe.... I know there will be lot of people judging by my movie preference this time...huehehehe... Don't get me wrong Hannah Montana is totally enjoyable, despite for it's cheesy-ness but it's totally suitable for kids in range 12-15 years old. Disney always know how to make commercial good quality popcorn movie. I recommended you to watch it with your little sister or your little cousin or niece. Already watched Public Enemies too, a total cool film I must say... Johnny Depp played with his unbeatable charisma as always, even Christian Bale couldn't compare to his...hehe. Michael Mann (director) also presented cool-video-hand held camera style with non-stop gun firing...nice. I must admit, the story runs pretty slow but still enjoyable with open eyes. Totally different with Transformer 2 even there's lots of action, it makes me pretty sleepy. Public Enemies isn't a popcorn movie and maybe not attract for most female audience except you're totally in love with Johnny Depp like me..huehehehe... It's more like guy movies. 'Cause the movie involve lots of gun firing and how to get whatever you want (well, that's sooooo male-ego). And not to forget both lead actors played awesome acting for their roles (Oscar nomination, everyone??). I totally recommended this film for you guys.

Enough said, then....

Have a good night.

Out of Expectation Summer Movie - Harry Potter: The Half Blood Prince

2009-07-17T09:26:00.009+07:00

Tanpa perjuangan yang tidak terlalu berat, gue berhasil dapet tiket nonton Harry Potter: The Half-Blood Prince (HPTHBP) tepat di hari premiere-nya... Gue nggak inden dulu, loh langsung beli aja gitu di XXI PS dapet yang jam 21.15. Mungkin untuk mengantisipasi antrian kayak setan waktu release Transformer: Revenge of The Fallen (yang gak worth-it, kampret...) Pihak 21 menyediakan special untuk Harry Potter dengan 5 studio aja. Buset banget, deh cuma nyisain satu studio buat Ice Age 3 (kalo gak salah, ya.. Gak terlalu meratiin juga, sih).

I have to say, HPTHBP merupakan summer movie yang gue tunggu banget ditambah dengan trailer-nya yang oke. Dan bisa dibilang gue cukup mengilai bukunya..wakakakak... Dijamin lengkap semua koleksi gue beserta tongkatnya...hehehe. Kemaren juga sempet beli Cinemags edisi Bulan Agustus (Price: Rp 45.000, luar P. Jawa Rp 46.000) yang tentu aja menampilkan HPTHBP sebagai main cover (ada 4 versi cover yang bisa dipilih dengan 4 versi bonus magic wand yang berbeda juga) Covernya pake gambar poster kayak dibawah ini cuma bedanya ada tulisan Cinemags aja.

Sempet bingung juga milih cover yang mana, gue sempet minta second opinion segala sama temen gue..wakakakak...Totally gak penting, deh! Pilihan gue jatuh sama cover dengan gambar Ron Weasley sama Ginny Weasley, mengalahkan versi klasik gambar Harry Potter dan Professor Dumbledore. Dari sekian banyak majalah film yang special-edition HPTHBP, Cinemags paling oke dengan kualitas cover sampe bonusnya yang asik banget! Untuk edisi ini dapet magic wand (ada 4 versi), Snitch-pendant, collectible cards, Hogwarts & Lighting-scar Tattoo sampe yang standar kayak poster dan bookmark. Totally recommended buat die-hard fans Harry Potter.

Okeh, sekarang balik ke review film HPTHBP. Gue anggap semua orang secara garis besar udah tau lah, ya tentang apa cerita HPTHBP (sebenernya males aja gitu nulis sinopsis-nya...huehehe...) Buat yang gak tau, baca sana bukunya...wakakakak. Singkat kata, HPTHBP mengisahkan tentang perjalanan Harry Potter bersama Dumbledore untuk mendalami latar belakang/masa lalu Lord Voldermort, yang diharapkan pengetahuan tentang masa lalunya ini bisa dijadikan referensi untuk mengalahkan Voldermort.

Soooo, film-nya agak mengecewakan buat gue, kurang seru aja, gitu..... Huh, sebel juga jadinya. Karena agak diluar harapan, gue berharap tadinya akan lebih banyak action-nya gitu atau lebih thrilling-lah, ya... Karena bagi yang baca bukunya pasti tau kalo di buku ke-6 ini banyak peristiwa seru dan krusial yang terjadi. Bagaimana serunya perjalanan Harry bareng Dumbledore menyelami memory orang-orang yang berhubungan dengan masa lalu Voldermort dan kematian (lagi) salah satu tokoh penting di kehidupan Harry dan dunia sihir tentunya. Tapi yang terjadi di Film HPTHBP sepertinya lebih menyorot kepada perubahan kehidupan sosial dan asmara khas ABG antara Ron-Hermione-Lavender dan Harry-Ginny. Pokok penting dari film ini justru jadi seperti pemanis aja.

Yah, emang gak dijadiin pemanis banget juga, sih...hehehe... Cuma kalo menurut gue, adegan yang justru penting di bukunya dipersingkat dengan tidak baik di versi film-nya. Masa lalu Voldermort yang gue pikir akan diperlihatkan lebih dalem disini, lebih sekedar 'cukup-tau-aja'. Dan yang paling mengecewakan buat gue adalah adegan kematian.......... (udaaahhhh...sebut aja....wakakakak...) kurang dramatis, man! Nggak ngena secara emosi. Entah karena acting Daniel Radcliffe yang kurang oke atau emang secara adegan emang gak dibangun dengan baik. Huh, sebel!

Tapi ada beberapa poin plus di film HPTHBP

Adegan di dalam gua yang melibatkan inferi, jauh lebih creppy dari yang di buku. Keren banget, dah! Sukses membangun unsur thrilling di film ini.
Adegan Katie Bell yang terkena kutukan sukses dieksekusi secara menyeramkan. Scary face expression!!
Akting Helena Bonham Carter sebagai Bellatrix Lestrange oke banget, bo... Campuran antara insane dan aura membunuh yang pas.
Luna Lovegood tetap diperankan dengan baik oleh Evanna Lynch. Mencuri perhatian banget, walaupun cuma ada di beberapa scene aja. Masuk banget ke dalem karakter Luna yang emang quirky.
Rupert Grint yang getting sexier (wakakakak... Gue tau ini poin gak penting....)
Cinematography juga berhasil membangun keadaan dunia sihir yang lebih 'gelap' dengan special effect yang cukup oke juga.

Yaaaa...itu aja, sih.... Walaupun secara cerita emang kurang seru tapi gak sampe taraf membosankan kayak Transformer: Revenge of The Fallen (itu mah emang karena gak ada ceritanya...huehehe). Emang gak mungkin kalo adaptasi filmnya mau disamain kayak bukunya. Bisa-bisa Ron, Hermione, dkk cuma dapet porsi yang secuil aja, karena emang buku ke-6 ini lebih emphasize ke Harry-Dumbledore-Voldermort.

Boleh, lah untuk penutup summer movie tahun ini (Eh, gak deh masih ada G.I. Joe).

I give 3 of 5 stars.

Money....Money...Money...

2009-07-01T10:10:00.005+07:00

"Lack of money is the root of all evil"
-George Bernard Shaw-

That quote suites me well (I heart Bernard Shaw!) at least, for today. It causes me: laziness, fast-paced heartbeat, exaggerated worries and etc lame effects....Waaaaaaaa!!! You know what it means, huh??? It means I almost broke again... My pay day was just 5 days ago, but I've already spent almost 1/4 of my salary. It's not even a week yet, what the f???? And I'm just try to reminiscing what stuff I've bought. And it was nothing necessary really...Ugh.. Where all that money went??

Making money is always being the hard part, everybody knows that. But it's always so damn easy to spent it even until not left any dime on your account. I know, it's all my fault for being impulsive and reactive. Reactive by means I easily to react for those gigantic SALE sign on Zara & Debenhams and for my suddenly-popped-in-idea in my not-so-brilliant head... Let's say, all the sudden I got an idea to paint my nail with black nail polish (FYI, I'm rarely to paint my nail! And why black color? Gee, I dunno maybe I'm into for some kind of new alien-religion society..wakakak... Why in the hell I got those idea?!) And here it goes, just like Tsunami blast... I spent almost a hundred rupiahs for those nail polish and nail remover thingie. And not to mention I found out that is so fuckin' difficult to paint your own nail. Shit!!! What a smart move, Petty!

And my other sin is I love to leisure myself. I mean, I love eat good food in good restaurant, watching a movie (It's almost six days in a row I always watched movie in theater!!) and using a taxi for my leisure transportation. Arrrggggghhhhhhhhhh..... I think I should change this kind of lifestyle, I adopted it since I was in Junior High but, since I didn't have money on my own it was little bit in control. And the crazy thing is I'm still considering to bought a new pair of shoes that's been on SALE in Zara. Oh, God shall Thou forgive me!

I apologize for too many grumbles, it's a chronic side-effect to let my purse off the hook and left nothing but 2 sheets of Rp 10.000,-. Thankfully, I don't have a credit card so, I don't get stuck with that devilish-circle of buy more-debt more. This is what happened if you let yourself into brand consumerism and a lifestyle that I don't supposedly own. Speaking of consumerism, I work in advertising industry for God's sake! I'm the one who get paid for making people wear those Topshop brand and thought they're as cool as Kate Moss or making people to subscribe those overly expensive pay TV and make they feel in some social-class climbing. Also not to mention, I'm taking part for making people bought those cosmetic brand and deceit them with those over-exposure digital imaging model. Speaking of devil's work...huehehe.. Ironically, I'm also those people who get persuaded for that consumerism lifestyle.

Enough said, then... I better to figure it out how am I gonna support my living for 3 more weeks.

Toddles.
Have a good day everyone.

Workless

2009-06-30T14:59:00.008+07:00

Well, that is what my whole desktop look like when I'm working (or not working?? hehe...) Usually, I could open a lots of window!! But, I end up to get confused with it. And I think this posting also will be the part while I don't have anything to work....wakakak. After last hectic week due lots of new campaign to be presented on this week, even it requires me to came to the office at Sunday... Isn't it great?? Now, you can call me a hard-worker person...huehehe.. Now, I end up not (yet) have any work to do since yesterday. Well, I shouldn't complain, though since I'm the creative designer in my team, my workload isn't as many as my art directors and my copywriter have... I'm just sorta giving a hand for their job.

Anyway, I browsed a lot of pretty cool blogs. Mostly about movies and random interesting facts. I'm on waiting for Johnny Depp's Public Enemies... Can't hardly wait!! It scheduled to be release on July 3, 2009. Hopefully, it won't have any time delay. All right, back to our main topic...which is... I don't have anything to write, though...Huahahahaha... I know this posting will be as unnecessary as my life is...hihi.. Well, I mean my life is unnecessary for other people to bother, but for me is undeniably IMPORTANT...wakakakak... I mean, whose life I should bother so much instead of my-happy-go-to-hell-life..hahaha...

Speaking of hell, a couple week ago I have already watched Drag Me To Hell and that creepy old woman successfully disgust me. Especially when she pulled out her fake-teeth and accidentally put her mouth into Alison Lohman's mouth...Totally gross!!! Yiekssssssss....... Pretty good at surprising audience with those kind of sound effects and disgusting image but not supported with good story. It seems this film is just for make people scared...Yes, I know that what horror film should do, but at least good story will make a good thrill. Drag Me To Hell is too quick and too coincidental. Let say, the paranormal character is suddenly popped to help about the whole cursed thing. Imagine this scene, while Christine Brown (Alison Lohman) walked on sidewalk with her boyfriend (Justin Long) suddenly she pointed to palm-reading shop across the street and said "Hey, I want to get myself a palm read" and the palm reader said something like this (I wasn't really remember the line) "Ohhhhh... I think you got cursed by something very evil..bla..bla..bla..." And Christine asked for his help and you can guess what will happened next. That scene happened after Christine Brown met that creepy old woman, but she wasn't know yet that she's been cursed. What a you-gotta-be-kidding-me scene!! Wakakakak...

But, it's recommended for surprising effect but not for scary story. Really, if you're a horror/thriller lover like me, this film isn't scary at all. It will surprise you with great sound effects and disgusting images but the story it won't haunted you like Guillermo Del Torro's The Orphanage or REC.

Okey dokey... It seems my posting really isn't sync for its title...hehe.

Have a good day wherever you are!!

Transformer Hysteria!!!

2009-06-25T10:50:00.011+07:00

Helllooooooooo, people... This is just random update, though..

On last Wednesday, I hooked up with my friend to watch Transformer 2: Revenge of The Fallen on the-what-so-called-premiere-day. Can you imagine how crowded it was??? Well, it's a total hectic! Well, maybe it's because Transformer 2 is one of the most anticipated summer movie, but for me it became my anticipated movie because of Shia LaBeouf factor..wakakakak..

Well, despite the fact...There'll be a kick-ass robot with those special effects, yeah, you know..typical Michael Bay movie with all those explosions, over-exposure 'coolness' and 'simple' script just for making the movie got a plot-line..hehehe... You know what, me and my friend got the first row seat!!! Well, it's a good thing if you want to watch a concert or basketball game but for watch a movie in theater it became so fuckin' uncomfortable and annoying. I mean, that giant screen it's just about 20-cm from my eye sight (I saw the BIGGEST Shia's image ever!! His image is became so gigantic..hehe..) and I had to tilted my head to saw the whole picture and as the result my neck was sore.

Due all sores I had and all struggle to get the ticket (lebai...huehehe) Sorry to say... It seems Transformer 2 turned out to be just like any other Michael Bay action-flicks. Wrapped with 2 hours and 30 minutes length film, I have already pretty sleepy on 1. 5 hours. The plot-line is pretty dull, exploitation on Mikaela's role as sexy eye-candy in this film, also a lame idea about Isabel Lucas (forgot the character's name) as a human-Decepticon.... Yeah, you heard me a HUMAN-Decepticon..WTF??!! I mean, if you could turn into a human, what the hell you must turn into tank and jet-plane to reign the Earth??? Anyway, I must be crazy to even questioning about this, Michael Bay's film is supposed only I enjoyed it without asking about any rational stuff..hehe... But, I have to admit those kick-ass special effects on robots transformation are amazed me!
Based on IMDB trivia it said "A single IMAX shot in the movie would have taken almost 3 years to render on a top of the line home PC running nonstop. If you rendered the entire movie on a modern home PC, you would have had to start the renders 16,000 years ago (when cave paintings like the Hall of Bulls were being made) to finish for this year's premiere" WOW!!! it's fuckin' awesome isn't it?

So, if you are a big fan of big explosion, sexy eye candies and awesome special effects with a-very-simple plotline, Transformer: Revenge of The Fallen is the perfect movie for you! I totally recommend it. This movie matches all those aspect, it's like Bad Boys II with more robots...huehehe... Even so, I think the first one is still better. This film also didn't get a good review, some reviews even said about racist and misogynistic stuff. Well, I admit maybe that pretty much true, all girls in this film are presented more likely as a sex objects or overly-stupid character (Sam's mom). And there's twins Autobot (which I also forgot their names...) who I think are presented as black people with those accents and attitudes. Well, I don't have problem with that I didn't see it as a racist issue, they're pretty funny to spice up the movie.So, the verdict is.... Transformer 2 is not too bad as appetizer summer movie, you'll not regret it if you watch it. And I apologize for my lack memory of character names, it because my eye-sight problem due row-seat management. I couldn't concentrate for the names, guys... My eyes are pushed for total-concentration on those gigantic image of Shia LaBeouf and Bumblebee...wakakakak..

I give 1,5 of 5 stars.

Allright, then....
Toddles.
Happy Holiday!

He Just NOT That Into You

2009-06-12T16:10:00.011+07:00

Apa yang terlintas di hati lo (cielaaaaahhh....) kalo dapet fakta kayak diatas? Dongkol, sedih, marah, ashamed, makin ngarep, makin pengen terus-ngejar-sampe-dapet, cuy! atau nyengir-kuda (yang ini paling preferable buat gue lakuin..wakakakak). Sejujurnya kemaren gue berniat memposting my-so-called-review early summer movie yang udah secara stripping gue tonton beberapa minggu yang lalu. Tapiiii....berhubung kagak ada yang totally "ngena" banget di hati gue (halah..) Gue gak jadi-jadi mulu mo posting, padahal movie posternya udah gue upload segala.

So, I decided untuk sedikit me-review film yang bikin gue berfikir dan tersenyum manis dari menit pertama film ini dimulai (Sedaaaappp). First of all, ini salah satu genre film yang gue suka a well-written romantic-comedy! (yep, after thriller, horror and drama with tragic ending..wakakak) I like it 'cause secara visual light and bright, OST-nya easy listening, straight-to-the-point plotline , pokoknya serba light and easy yang bikin heartwarming sesudah nonton filmnya. Walaupun nggak menutup kemungkinan penulisan naskah yang terlalu chessy bisa merusak semua keindahan yang ada. Intinya film-film kayak gini emang 'cewek banget' ibaratnya 'dari cewek dan untuk cewek'..huehehehe...

Oke, back to main topic... He just Not That Into You diangkat dari buku self-improvement berjudul sama karangan Greg Behrendt & Liz Tuccilo. Film ini menceritakan 5 wanita dengan cerita yang berbeda tapi saling connected satu sama lain... (Yaaa...hampir setipe sama Love, Actually gitu, deh) Salah satu poin yang bikin gue suka nonton film ini dan satu poin plus lagi which is, film ini menggunakan narasi. I always always looovvveeeeeeee film with narration, no matter what the genre is as long as it has a narration in it, I'll fall for it... (Mungkin karena waktu kecil gue suka banget didongeng-in kaleee, yee...)

Cerita dibuka dengan narasi "A girl will never forget the first boy she ever likes" dari karakter Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin) Karakter ini juga yang menjadi narator in the whole film. Narasi dilanjutkan dengan adegan Gigi kecil yang didorong oleh cowok yang dia sukai dan cowok itu juga ngomong "I don't like you because you smell like a d-o-g poo...!" (Yeah, right...kasar gila). Kemudian Gigi kecil cerita ke nyokapnya sambil nangis dan as a very wise person, ibunya dengan wise bilang "He did that because he likes you" Dan narasi dengan lanjutkan dengan (and this one is my favorite, by the way) "We are all programmed to believe that if a guy acts like a total jerk that means he likes you".

Wakakakak...suka inget dengan "excuses" kalo ada cowok yang mutusin elo or do something bad to you... It means that he is envy with your success or you're too beautiful for him and another et cet tra reasons (or denials) Atau nih, ya yang paling sering kejadian elo nunggu telepon sampe bulukan dari cowok yang lo suka tapi dia nggak nelpon-nelpon juga, we always came up with excuse kalo bisa aja nomer telepon kita keselip entah dimana jadi dia belum nelpon juga. We are girls, emang terkadang suka lupa atau sengaja blurred our perception dengan satu fakta simple bahwa maybe, He Just NOT That Into You. Because we all love dramas of waiting, contemplating, assuming and day-dreaming...Blame to our gene..huehehe..

Alright, back to the film.... Film ini mengisahkan 3 kisah utama, Ada cerita tentang Gigi-Connor (Kevin Connolly)-Alex (Justin Long), Pasangan suami-istri Janine (Jennifer Connelly) dan Ben (Bradley Cooper) with flirtatious encounter a.k.a cheating with Anna (Scarlett Johansson) dan pasangan yang tak kunjung menikah (cielah...) Beth (Jennifer Aniston) dan Neil (Ben Affleck). Semua kisah tersebut saling berhubungan dengan kisah Gigi sebagai inti dari semua cerita, bisa disimpulkan sebagai romantic misadventure, gitu....Gue nggak bakalan ngasih tau ceritanya kayak gimana, yee..Pokoknya harus nonton sendiri...hehe...

At the end of film ada satu narasi penutup yang oke banget...

"Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up: if a boy punches you he likes you, never try to trim your own bangs, and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. Every movie we see, every story we're told implores us to wait for it: the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we're so focused on finding our happy ending we don't learn how to read the signs. How to tell the ones who want us from the ones who don't, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn't include a guy, maybe it's you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. maybe the happy ending is just moving on. Or maybe the happy ending is this: knowing after all the unreturned phone calls and broken-hearts, through the blunders and misread signals, through all the pain and embarrassment... you never gave up hope".

I gave 3.5 out of 5.

Ciao, Happy watching..... Totally recommended to all girls.

Boo Hooo.....

2009-06-08T16:29:00.005+07:00

Boo..hooo..peek-a-boo....everyone!! (Well, I don't know what's the actual mean, though...wakakakak... Just suddenly the words popped into my head).

Pretty long time not updating this blog. Kinda busy with my what-so-called LIFE...huehehehe. Anyhow, I got this pretty good idea (I think..hehe). Lately I've been always thinking about this idea, I've been thinking about to leave advertising world (I've just realize that whole commercial stuff is so..... +yeah, I hope you know what I'm talking about, sense my tone there+....huehehe) I want to pursue something in video (like motion graphic and stuff...) I always have an interest for making a title sequence for a movie. But, I've yet learn anything about it...like the techniques and software. So, I think I'll go back to school to learn about it. I adore Title Sequence because it combines my two major interest in my life (design and films).

But, if I quit my job.... I have to figure out how am I gonna support my living. Maybe my parents have no problem giving me a financial support for my school, but it will be so shameful if they also have to support my daily life. And there's no way that I will take that chance... It's so enough for them to support my living plus my brother also going to college this year. Maybe I'll find a part-time design jobs, because if I still work in advertising with those unpredictable working hours, I might not be able to attend my school.

Deep down, I know that I'll do it this idea. I mean... I'm 22, I'm just think that I don't want to dive myself yet just for one thing only (for this case is in Advertising industry) I want to learn a lot of things first (and go travel, maybe) and after that I'll pursue a career. It's been almost a half year, I sat on this small-energetic advertising agency as a graphic designer. I've learned lot of things about working world and several good techniques of Photoshop & Illustrator from my boss (he's been a very good mentor). And the most important part that I've learn to live independently! That's pretty huge change for me, exciting yet sucks sometimes...hehe.. But, I've just realize the whole things that happened to me, it happens to be all of things that I've wished for!! When I was still in high school, I've always dreamed to live on my own feet. Like got a job and get my ass out from my parent's house. And it happened!! It really amazing how God works the magic in our life..hehehe...

Anyway....I'm still waiting for my probation result in July. As you can see I've still got 50-50 chance to stay in this office or get kicked out! Hehehe... But all my feelings are in between. I'm on a crossroad between excited if I'm in and relieve if I don't get in. What a confusing shit! The whole idea to keep staying in this office makes me feel dull but I do love the people here. Why can I just let it flow and stop questioning everything?! Well, I really want it to stop questioning everything but I always have this small-muttering talk inside my head every single minute, it seems it's been my forte all along...huehehe.. I'll catch up with you later about my decision, cause I haven't yet talk about this idea with parents. And sometimes they need a deeper reason about things that I'll do, even though they'll end up to support it.

Alright, then...enough blabbering...
I guess I'll see you later...
Toddles.

Personality-peeking Quiz

2009-05-15T09:16:00.006+07:00

Buongiorno...

I know it's another unnecessary post, but this pretty interesting personality quiz, I guess, it's based on psychology test that usually you could find in teen-magazine.. It's pretty fun, though... If you want to find out what's yours, click here.

Here's my result, it's somewhat reflected myself in general...hehehe..

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

My conclusion is:

I'm a girl with a control-freak manner and neurotic behaviour. Yep, that's looks like me in real life.... Huehehehe... How about yours? A crazy chick with alter-ego like Sacha Fierce, perhaps? Wakakakak...

Ciao,
Toddles....

Detachment

2009-05-12T17:14:00.004+07:00

"Love is an attachment to another self. Humor is a form of self-detachment - a way of looking at one's existence, one's misfortune, or one's discomfort. If you really love, if you really know how to laugh, the result is the same: you forget yourself."

-Claude Roy-

I just wondering that quote totally suites me in some way (Honestly... I mean, in a LOT of ways..huehehe...) Pretty long time didn't update this blog due my crazy weeks of workloads (halah..lebai aje...gak terlalu, sih..) Cuman, otak gue jadi suka lama loading-nya kalo kerjaan dikasihnya bertubi-tubi, padahal kalo pas dikerjain, sih..it turns out gak sebanyak yang gue bayangin..hehehe... Not much interesting stuff to share due my absences of blogging, though. Except, my experience of watched X-Men Origins:Wolverine (Pardon my weirdness, "interesting" on my scale mostly only involves my addiction of watching films...hehehe)

So, the watching-trio are me, Icut and Pocut (not my usual combination of after-work playing, though..hehe..) We watched on Senayan City XXI on the most-late-show schedule. Itupun tetep penuh aja, bo...Kita dapetnya di barisan (kalo gak salah) 4 baris dari depan, untungnya kita dapet yang di tengah. Jadinya kita terhindar dari cara nonton yang harus miring2in badan dulu. So the verdict are....

Lame visual effect, sangat disayangkan sebenernya... Apalagi buat film sekelas Marvel yang supposed to more experience for those things.
Not dedicated for die-hard fans of the comic. From what I've heard, there's too many changes of the storyline. But, lucky me I didn't follow the comic...hehe... So, the film storyline didn't bother me at all (kagak tau juga mana yang berubah..wakakakakak..).
To all boys, sorry to say.... I think, X-Men Origins:Wolverine is a GIRL-MOVIE. Or dedicated to all girls. Lucky me AGAIN!! Huehehehe.... Gini, ya...sepanjang film bertaburan aja all the sexiest male creatures..wakakakak... Dengan maksud sebagai penyegar mata cewek-cewek. Esp. Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds. For Jackman, he even not only shirtless but also FABRIC-less. Toast for me... There's nothing more refreshing my eye than see Jackman "bare skin"...HUAHAHAHAHA.
Lack of great fighting-scene, tetep aja kalo salah satu harapan gue kalo nonton film sejenis ini. Gue selalu berharap akan ada banyak fighting scene keren with a great martial arts and visual+special effect. Fighting scene di Wolverine terlihat nanggung, gitu. Mungkin karena emang special effectnya juga butut. Jadinya yaaa.. nggak pol-polan.
Overall, I didn't really care about the story...hehehe.. There's no twist that surprises me. The films only "jualan" Hugh Jackman, yang emang cocok banget jadi Wolverine dan mempunyai fan base yang cukup solid. And of course, karakter Wade "Deadpool" Wilson yang diperankan dengan oke oleh Ryan Reynolds (yang emang selalu cocok meranin karakter yang "bawel") Anyhow, I recommended to all girls...^_^ (I give 4 stars for the tremendous stock of hot guys and 2 stars for whole film).

Eniwei, setidaknya dengan nonton Wolverine, gue cukup berhasil menghilangkan moody moment gue..hehehe... Ada hal yang cukup interesting pas gue nonton Wolverine, ternyata ya, buu... Kita satu studio aja gitu sama Annisa Pohan (Yep, that's what-so-called "First Daughter-in-Law" in our country) Lumayanlah buat nyombong sama anak-cucu gue...Wakakakakak!!

Btw, judul postingan sama isi gak nyambung...huehehe...

Mau Mati

2009-04-22T08:42:00.007+07:00

Kemaren ada dua temen gue bilang "Aduuuhhh......pengen mati, deh" Dan gue dengan baik hatinya berkata "Tenang aja, kalo soal mati sih bakalan kejadian, kok... Sabar aja" Huehehehe... Pokoknya percakapan gue kemaren kebanyakan revolve soal kematian, soalnya bentar-bentar temen gue nge-buzz dan bilang "Petty.....pengen mati aja, deh!" Poor my dear friend, kerjaannya emang lagi gila-gilaan banget.

Honestly, gue belum pernah, sih dapet kerjaannya yang "crazy as hell and inhuman". Soalnya, one of my dear friend ada yang kerja pada saat weekend juga. Satu kata yang terlintas di batok kepala gue selalu WTF?? (dan satu lagi, gak ada super-duper overtime paid. YEAH! Eh, ada, ding.. They paid her with taxi voucher. Thank you very much, taxi voucher should cover everything +sigh+). Gue juga nggak ngerti sampai setipis apa batasan work hard dan inhuman work? Emang, sih kalo kata orang kalo mau belajar, harus rela mengorbankan apapun. Misalnya kerja nggak dibayar selama 6 bulan (ini bener ada, loh) Itu antara rela berkorban atau rela dianiaya, gue kagak ngerti dah tuh mana yang bener.

Gue cuma berpendapat, sih seingin apapun sampe lo rela untuk berkorban demi sesuatu yang lo inginin, lo nggak boleh lupa kalo lo punya hal yang namanya Dignity. Pay yourself a respect, fight for it at least. Kalo sampe rela berkorban kerja 6 bulan tanpa dibayar, padahal lo punya kemampuan yang setara dengan tenaga kerja yang udah kerja lama di kantor itu. Itu, sih sama aja tu perusahaan dapet barang bagus gratisan! Siapa yang gak seneng, itu sih untung di mereka, rugi di elo! Yaaa...nggak usah lah sampe di gaji sama dengan karyawan yang lebih experienced, but at least, you've got a 'price' for yourself.

Proud to yourself a little bit! Mungkin banyak orang yang akan bilang itu namanya kepedean. Well, honey.. I got no problem being called like that! Karena gue selalu ngerasa penting banget untuk punya pride atas diri lo sendiri. Kalo nggak siapa juga yang akan ngehargain diri lo, kalo nggak lo duluan yang mulai ngehargai diri sendiri. Have to admit, ini emang side effect sikap orang Indonesia yang 'nrimo' gila dalam segala hal. Tapi kalo kebanyakan 'nrimo' juga nggak baik buat kesehatan..hehe..

Tapi, gue selalu bilang sama temen gue (yang pengen mati itu...huehehe) mungkin dan biasanya, sih PASTI ada good thing behind that. Entah lo dapet promotion, memperluas connection, atau yang paling oke you're getting better at what you're doing, kayak managing emotion, managing deadline, advance work skill, you named it...

Itu sisi okenya, tapi yang namanya hidup nggak lucu kalo nggak ada yang tragis dan dramatis. Untuk versi yang lebih tragis lagi, dari semua hal yang lo lakuin demi pekerjaan lo, you got NOTHING!! +ketawa guling2an sambil nangis darah+ Yep, that's right you got nothing except capek lahir batin disertai penyakit saluran pencernaan sama kurang tidur yang bikin muka lo tambah jelek...huahahaha... Ups, you're REALLY are got something too, which is EXPERIENCE or to be exact a 'tragic experience' huehehehe...

Sometimes shit really happens, it's just plain shitty thing that actually comes to you...padahal lo nggak salah apa-apa. Lo cuma kebetulan jadi korban keisengan universe aja...huehehehehe. It's simply you just got the sent-from-hell employer. Kalo udah kayak gitu, lo cuma bisa nyengir kuda doang...Ngikkkkkk..kik... Tapi, seperti biasa gue selalu percaya dengan idiom "Every cloud has a silver lining" Sooo... After all shits that happened, it must be got something good behind it.

Allrighty, enough blabbing to much.
Have a nice day and night, everyone!!

Installing A Husband

2009-04-21T17:19:00.005+07:00

Met Sore....
Ada postingan yang witty banget... Totally fun to read! Gue dapet gara-gara kebiasaan gue blogwalking...hehehe... I'll paste it...

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as
Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5, and then installed undesirable programs such as CNN 5.0, CRICKET 3.0 and POLITICS 4.1.

Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system.
Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.
What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate

And here is the answer:

Dear desperate,

First, keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme. html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

However, remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1.
Please note that Beer 6.. 1 is a very bad program that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend:
Cooking 3.0 and
Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck !

Mood Swing

2009-04-15T11:25:00.009+07:00

God, I hate plan! Maybe I should made friends with The Joker. Mmm...What an interesting idea I might say...hehehe.

I hate to say this, but I think I started to get bored for what I'm doing now. I don't know why maybe it's just a silly thoughts because of my moody moment right now. I'm always like this, easily to get bored with everything. When I'm get bored, I just want to forget everything or worse, I'll have no desire at all for what I like or I do before. Usually, I often push to the limit for do something or liking something. But strangely the more I pushed it, the easier I got bored. And I did this over and over again, and yes, it's perfectly stupid. That's why, maybe I never have any favorite things. Now, I tend to like anything without use any feelings for liking it the most. And I think it's perfectly fine so far, but as the result I'm also never hate anything....huehehe...

I need to buy things! Suddenly it just popped into my head. But, since I'm broke maybe I'll just wait until my pay day comes, which means I should wait in 2 more miserable weeks..hiks... All right, enough for sob stuff. I got a plan to bought more books next month. It's been a while, I didn't read any quality books. The last book I read was The Boy in The Striped Pyjamas, I like the ending. It's tragedic-ironic ending, which I love it so much.... I always love tragedic ending..hehe.. From the classic Romeo+Juliet, Moulin Rouge, Titanic, Revolutionary Road and even Devdas.. You named it, beibeh...huehehe... So, I recommended the book, though. It got small amount of pages and light language with full of humanity values. Plus tonight I plan to watch the film too. It starred Vera Farmiga, Rupert Friend (Pride & Prejudice), David Thewlis (Harry Potter and Prisoner of Azkaban) and directed by Mark Herman (Little Voice). I hope the film is as good as the book. I'll post tomorrow for the quick review..hehe... As always, my post seems going everywhere..huehehe...

Toddles.
Have a nice day and night. ^_^

After 5 Days Off...

2009-04-14T08:57:00.008+07:00

Heloooohulala...... How's everybody doin'? Especially after long weekend, you must be brought something to your back-to-reality-life, right? Huehehehe... Yeah, got 4 days off (for me it's 5 days, 'cause I got sick) it feels like too good to be true. ^_^

On the last day of holiday, one of my friends was texting me, "See u again on the next holiday, I need to welcoming my reality tomorrow". Huehehe... That's so fuckin' true.. So far I don't hate reality because it made my life not boring. Sometimes it sucks but so far I think I can manage it or on wise word I MUST be able to manage it or like my mom said "Mati aja lo, paling gampang kan mati". Well, that's true my mom say those words to me...huehehe.. With her tone and everything. Most of people thought it's harsh to talk that way to your daughter but after being raise for a very long time by her (yaiyalah, yaaa...huehehe..) I do love it the way she talked, she's got a sharped-straight-to-the-point mouth and quite funny too. If you don't get used to it, maybe you'll get your feeling hurt. But, I think that's part of her that actually left on me, that's one resemble me and her.

Anyhow, I do brought something to my work since yesterday. This is what I called a "Stockholm Syndrome of Holiday". Huehehe... I mean, holiday abducted me and I so reluctant to leave!!! (huehehehe... Speaking of drama queen). But of course like any other thing in this world, too many holiday also gives you bad side effect. I spent too much money during those day. I bought too many shoes and bags, too many eating out, too many hang-out and other too-many-things... Yeah, that's right, baby. As the result is I almost broke...+sniff+.... On my bank account, it's only left enough for pay my rent and 2 weeks necessity of life. Well, because I'm so full of gratitudes... I'm still grateful that I could still live for the next 2 weeks and I'll be waiting to death for my salary paycheck (huehehe.... Speaking of drama queen..again).

Speaking of work, before holiday started... I got reviewed for my 3 month probation and the result is my company extended my probation for another 3 month. I'm so glad that they still gave me a chance to improve my work skill and to learn more, of course. I know for sure that I still need lots of improvement for my work skill and my work result during period on my first 3 month probation still wasn't excellent. My bosses said that I got the talent to do better, it just need to add more of passion and hard work. I know that I'm a total laid-back person, never take anything too intense. Not even my school, my life, my relationship or any other things that revolve me. I don't why, maybe it just me. Or maybe I just have simpler ambition than anyone else. If people running in their life, I am jogging. I don't know maybe it doesn't sound good. Maybe I should get out from my comfort zone more often.

One more thing that bothered me, when my boss asked me how am I feeling about working in their company so far. And I answered I enjoyed it, I said to them that I do like my colleagues, I don't have problem to fit in and the most important I do like and enjoy my job. Their answer was surprise me, they said "Don't get too enjoy. It's not good. It will make you dull" Well, I mean WOW!! For someone who's always started everything based on excitement and things I do enjoy or like the most, it totally hits my face so hard. The fact that I shouldn't too enjoy for what I'm doing, totally makes me questioning their opinions a lot. And I came to conclusion that maybe, it's just a different perspective between them and I or it just my way of denial...hehe... I think they asked a jogger to do long distance sprint running. Well, that'll need a hell of work.

It seems my post is going everywhere...hehehe...
I guess I'll see you soon.
Have a nice day and night.
Bye. ^_^

Another Morning Post (Men, Janda and Our Society)

2009-04-02T09:25:00.005+07:00

Met pagiiii...everyone!!! Seperti biasa, ini hanya random notes yang 'seperti biasanya juga' nggak pernah penting...huehehe.... Maaf sekali kemaren postingannya cuma gitu aja, abis harus langsung cabut ke Digital Printing buat ngurusin guidebook yang hari ini mau di present ke klien sama bos gue.

Anyhow, bokap gue dijadwalkan akan landing hari ini... Aseeeekkkk.....^_^ Semoga lancar-lancar sajalah.. Amiiinnn. Oh, iya beberapa waktu lalu gue sempet nonton acara yang pagi-pagi itu, tuh yang soal agama atau 'mengataskan nama agama'. Ditayangin di TransTV-milik kita bersama (halah...) Pokoknya acara ini membahas hal-hal yang terjadi di society kita dengan Agama sebagai landasan pembahasannya. Sebenarnya acara kayak gini standar, sih. Banyak acara sejenis yang juga ditayangin di stasiun lain. Tapi yang sedikit mengusik gue adalah salah satu topik (yang kebetulan waktu itu gue tonton) yang membahas soal Janda. Entah kenapa, ya it sounds like misogyny.

Mungkin gue yang kurang gaul kali, ye... Ternyata status wanita sebagai janda memiliki konotasi yang cenderung buruk di society kita. I mean, why???? Apa juga yang ngebuat seorang perempuan menjadi tidak lebih baik dari yang lain karena status pernikahannya. Sebutannya banyak bener lagi, salah satunya yang famous adalah Janda Kembang. Yang dari dulu gue selalu bertanya-tanya kenapa harus "KEMBANG" Apa kali maksudnya..huehehe... Dan acaranya ini parahnya sangat menyudutkan wanita sebagai seorang janda, seolah-olah it's their fault for being as a widow. Dengan sedikit wejangan di akhir acara dari what-so-called 'Kyai' dia bilang gini "Apabila seorang wanita menjadi seorang janda, bersikaplah yang sesuai dengan norma-norma agama"

WTF??? Oh, jadi kalo masih belum jadi janda, you could hitting on somebody else's husband or cheating on your partner or even worse killing someone else, maybe? HUAHAHAHAHA... Asli, gue ketawa terbahak-bahak dengernya. Totally misogynous!! Nggak pernah, tuh sepanjang acara ngebahas kenapa seorang wanita bisa mendapatkan status itu. Apakah suaminya seorang wife-beater? Apakah suaminya meninggal dunia? Apakah suaminya memilih memiliki another wife? Kagak ada, tuh pembahasan yang lebih mendalam soal itu. Ibaratnya 'leave all mistaken and sins to women'.

Gokil, dah... Apalagi ditambah dengan pendapat dari orang-orang di society itu sendiri. Ada yang bilang "Hati-hati sama janda karena suka genit" Lah, bang saya aja yang bukan janda juga genit..huehehehe....Ohhh, supposed to kalo udah jadi janda nggak boleh nyari pasangan baru... Seharusnya lo ngendon aja di kamar meratapi nasib seperti kebanyakan karakter cewek di sinetron-sinetron Indonesia.

Malah ada satu lagi, nih comment yang lucu banget dari seorang cowok. Dengan gaya yang sok-sok centil tapi total turn-off banget. Dia bilang gini "Gue suka janda soalnya lebih dewasa dan berpengalaman" Another WTF? Pengalaman apa, nih maksudnya, mas... Pengalaman melakukan perceraian yang mungkin imbasnya mempengaruhi kebahagian anak-anaknya dan keluarganya atau pengalaman di abuse verbally atau even sexually. Of course, on that part she totally experienced. Yaaahhh... memang, sih ada ribuan alasan untuk melakukan divorce. Kalo soal salah siapa? I always believe it's both parties mistake with of course, a different level on mistake. It could be mutual or emang mengancam kesejahteraan/keamanan salah satu pihak.

Tapi memang dari mostly society di dunia, mau dari Indonesia sampe belahan dunia sebelah barat pun. Entah kenapa, perempuan selalu dituntut lebih. Agak aneh memang, kalo jaman dulu perempuan sekolah aja sampe kagak boleh, giliran sekarang, nih ya...Pas udah boleh ngelakuin apa aja. Women are should be able to do anything perfectly. Being a good mom and also being great career woman. Being good wife and also being husband 'pleaser' at the same time. Looking pretty but also had to be smart. Looking sexy but not slutty (kalo nggak lo bisa dilaporin ke polisi...huehehe) Pokoknya banyak bener, dah... No wonder, being women are quite 'stressful' sometimes, yet in another hand it makes women becomes stronger than men. (Admit it, fellas..hihi..) Sorry, if my post quite spread the senses hatred of men...hehe... Totally not on purpose..hihi.. 'Cause, I know for sure that I do love men..A lot!! Huahahaha...

Alrighty, it's just a thoughts, though...
Have a good day. Toddles.

8 pm-ish Post

2009-04-01T20:08:00.004+07:00

What you're doing at 8 pm?
Well, me still at my office... Waiting for some interrogation thing. 'Cause my poor office-mate lost her cellphone, so... My office called the security guy and interrogated everyone. I wonder curiously, who's "got" my colleague's cellphone.... Mmm...??

Anyway, I found another interesting blog... Totally hilarious!! It called "My Stupid Boss". You could open it through my link on my sidebar. I got lot of plans for weekend, which involve a couple of shopping sprees and dining out!! Yipeeee!!! It's all because my Pop is coming back to Indonesia tommorow!!!

Well, got to go...
To be continued...

Morning Randomness

2009-03-31T08:49:00.007+07:00

Morning everyone!! How's your day so far..? (Okay, stupid question... The day didn't even start yet..hehe) Anyhow, I brought my heavy eyes (Ape, ye..maksudnya mata ngantuk yang berat banget, gitu...huehehehe) along to my office. I don't why??? Why oh why?? Ngantuk, sih enggak cuma mata terasa berat ajah gitu. I did work overtime yesterday. No biggie, though. I helped my Art Director to worked on some revises, new mandatory thing... So all you need to do is revised every layout that already made (yang artinya "banyak gila aja yang harus direvisi" Huehehehe).

Seperti biasa, pas sampe di tempat kost gue tetap menyempatkan diri buat nonton DVD (I know it sounds creepy, but hey! I just couldn't survive a single day for not watch any DVD...Maybe I'm such a DVDholic... Totally addicted to it, need to get myself some therapy..maybe??). Jadinya semalem gue nonton filmnya Anne Hathaway yang gorgeously wonderful itu yang judulnya "Passengers". Dia main bareng sama Patrick Wilson (known by me for his role in "Purple Violet" which is he play alongside with Selma Blair, Edwards Burns and Debra Messing).

Pas minjem film ini, ni film sebenarnya gak direkomedasiin sama temen gue. But, dengan segala niat baik yang amat mulia ditambah dengan pikiran bijak (halah..) Gue berpikir at least, I always could enjoy Anne's gorgeousness...huehehehe... Eh, ternyata filmnya bagus juga, loh... Alurnya juga cukup to-the-point dan buat gue, sih banyak inspiring stuff about life yang bisa diambil (cielah..hehe). Maybe, it's just me aja kali, ya.. Gue, kan emang suka sama hal-hal yang begitu..hehe..

Anyway, ada dua quote yang gue suka...

"....you know what's scary about commitment? Your life becomes real. It's not a plan. It's not what you hoped for. It's real."
(Eric to Claire, Passengers-2008)

"When we lie, we make up our lies....with pieces of the truth"
(Mr. Perry to Claire, Passengers-2008)

Gimane? Oke, kan...hehehe... Kalo penasaran ceritanya soal apaan nonton aje, ye sendiri. Males juga nulis spoiler gituh..hihi.. Gue cukup recommend, kok... Tapi bagi yang nggak suka genre drama-thriller, mungkin akan sedikit bosen sama alurnya. Okey dokey, I have to go back to work, demi mencari sesuap nasi dan segenggam berlian..huehehe...

See you.
Toddles.

Good Morning, everyone....

I don't know why, but I know for sure that I'm totally sleepy this morning. Maybe, I need a caffeine shot to wake myself up. Anyway, right now I'm in total addiction for Dexter-series..hehehe... The series is about a kind, charming and loveable serial killer. Sounds interesting, right? The series is from book adaptation "Darkly Dreaming Dexter" written by Jeff Lindsay. An interesting watch for sure. I recommended it, fellas..^_^ FYI, Michael C. Hall (known for his role as David Fisher on Six Feet Under) played as leading role and he got nomination on Golden Globe 2009 for "Best Performance by An Actor in A Television Series-Drama", though he didn't win it.

So, he's definitely playing a good-act here. One more thing I love about this series, that Dexter is always be as a narrator in whole film, he spoke his mind in his own 'mind' (Well, i know it doesn't sound right..huehehe..) or for easier phrase it's 'first-person point-of-view' style' ^_^

I always love it, a film that using a narration or 'first-person point-of-view' style'. Feels like I've been on bedtime stories reading that my mom used to do to me when I was a kid. Well, even though right now I've got more various genre of stories (besides what-so-called-disney-fairytale), which involve thriller, horror or even a little bite from Woody Allen or Pedro Almodovar..hehehe.. I'm expanding my horizon, baby...

Anyhow, my last weekend was pretty awesome. On Friday night after work, I met my college-mate to hang-out and enjoyed a nice cup of Cold Ston e ice cream. I ordered a medium-cup of mixed Cotton Candy and Cake-Batter with Chocolate-chip sprinkler... What a yum! And on Saturday, I spent an entire day on my dear bestbuddy's. Long time didn't see her and her family. Usually, I almost every day spent my day at her house, It's like my second home..hehehe.. But, after I got a job and moving-out thing. I rarely to swing myself to her house. We ended up watched Bride Wars. Not too good actually, in whole films I just enjoyed the beauty of Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. Thank God! I didn't watch it on theater. It will be a waste of money. On Sunday, before I got back to my place, I spent a couple hours on salon with my mom to get a hair treatment. I pleased myself with hair-creambath. Wooo...It totally soothe me, I love my after-creambath-hair. It makes me feel more gorgeous...Huahahahaha..

Okey, I guess I'm enough blabbing. Need go back to work.
Have a good day, everyone.....

Little bites from Steve Jobs

2009-03-13T15:54:00.003+07:00

These following are some of my favorite quotes taken from Steve Jobs's commencement speech. I know it's kinda old speech, so maybe some of you already read/watch it.

"Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life."

"When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."

"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true."

(part of Stanford commencement speech address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.)

And last but not least, this is my favorite...
"You've got to find what you love," Jobs says

Random Thoughts

2009-02-25T10:43:00.005+07:00

Heiho...

Today, I'll give you a little peek on my daily routine. Since I became a 'pegawai' huehehe.... Of course, There's a swift change about my daily habit. Yang biasanya, bangun tidur langsung bermalas-malasan, ngemil, nonton DVD, nelpon temen, nunggu dijemput buat maen atau keluyuran menghabiskan hari. Dan siklusnya gitu aja terus sampe gila...huehehe...

The major change is I got myself a rented room. Pengennya, sih nggak usah sampe nge-kos segala tapi gue tepar berat harus bolak-balik Kemang-BSD tiap hari. Awalnya berat juga harus nge-kos, apalagi seumur-umur gue nggak pernah sekalipun nge-kos. I mean, I do enjoy being served at home...huehehehe... Jadi, kalo sekarang gue harus mempersiapkan apapun-nya sendiri. Tapi nggak berat, sih... Palingan cuma harus nyiapin sarapan sendiri aja. Kalo soal cuci-mencuci baju, I bought my dirty laundry every weekend to my home...huehehe.... (Hey, at least... I tried being less dependent...)

Tiap pagi, mostly I woke up at 5.30-6.00 am.... Yes, I'm a morning person. It's much easier for me for waking up in the morning rather than staying-up late. Terus gue sholat, beresin tempat tidur, nyiapin sarapan, nonton-nonton gosip (It's a must..hihi...), mandi, dressed-up and make-up (halah..) abis itu brengkit, deh... Nyampe kantor, ngecek email, Plurking, cek facebook, buka JustJared (gossip again!), nunggu orderan (baik kerjaan baru maupun revisi), lunch, ngerjain kerjaan, and then pulang, deh... Sampe tempat kos, biasanya gue membunuh waktu dengan nonton DVD ato baca novel. Sumpah, ye... Kalo nggak ada DVD player, gue bisa mati bosen (ini lebih parah dibanding mati penasaran...huehehe) Makanya pas dapet my first month salary, beli DVD player langsung jadi prioritas utama on my must-buy list.

Weekend selalu menjadi hal yang bikin gue selalu semangat tiap hari. Menanti weekend itu rasanya menyenangkan sekali...hihi... Padahal kalo dulu dari jaman SD sampe kuliah "everyday is a weekend" Jadinya everyday got nothing special, makanya gue jadi sering boring sendiri. Kesimpulannya adalah having too much fun is not that fun.

Anyway, demikian detail kehidupan gue yang nggak penting...hehe... Just love to blabbing out.
Toddles everyone.
Have a good day wherever you are.

Bel far Niente : Is Pretty Boring

2009-02-24T10:48:00.005+07:00

Well, dimana-dimana when you got nothing to do situasi akan menjadi sedikit membosankan. Apalagi di sekitar lo semuanya lagi pada sibuk bekerja...hehe... Kerjaan gue belum ada lagi, sih. Udah selesai semua kemaren jadinya hanya menunggu order baru atau revisi (again!). So, here I am blogging to you...^_^ Anyway, gue lagi keranjingan Plurk, nih...hehe... Bisa update tiap 30 menitan..huehehe.. Lebai, ya.. Abis account FB gue udah banyak yang tau (apalagi orang kantor termasuk bos gue juga udah tau) Sooo, kalo lagi pengen grumbling kan suka nggak enak..hihi.. (alesan aja, lah...) Oh, ya lagipula Facebook-an during work-time has been banned with my office. Bikin kerja nggak efektif katanya. Emang iya, sih apalagi kalo lagi upload foto-foto gitu.

This weekend, I plan to go out with my college mate to enjoy a yummy sushi!! Mmmm....ngebayanginnya aja udah bikin gue ngiler... Emang udah lama bangets gue nggak makan sushi, biasanya dulu tiap kali pulang ngampus suka mampir makan sushi kalo lagi ada duit jajan lebih (ato diada-adain aja tuh duit...hihi..) Kalo sekarang, gue berasa ter-isolated in the middle of Kemang. Padahal disini banyak tempat makan yang ciamik, sih... Cuma gue jadi lack of will kalo cuma sendirian aja. Sedangkan salah satu F&B buddy gue ngantor-nya di tengah-tengah Slipi. Kebayang, dong kalo harus mengarungi lautan kemacetan Jakarta cuma buat ketemuan after work, waste of time banget di jalan. Anyhow, I'm totally expecting this weekend!! Kerja juga jadi berasa seru karena ada yang ditunggu...hehe.

Wait, I got a little sneak peek about Rihanna's bruises face.... Parah banget, deh. Jadi nggak suka, deh sama Chris Brown. Nggak nyangka aja cowok berwajah sweet and nice kayak dia ternyata a woman beater!! WTF??!!!!

Mmmm... Nggak ada lagi, nih kayaknya blabbing-an yang penting yang mau di-share..huehehehe.... And it almost lunch-time, though.

I guess, I'll see you later then.
Have a damn-good day wherever you are. ^_^

...Duh!

2009-02-16T16:40:00.005+07:00

Selamat sore....
How's your day so far? Hopefully it is as good as you wish... ^_^
Mine? So far, I've been sleepy since lunch hour and feels pretty bored...hehe... And oh, God.. I hate when the boringness disease attack myself!!!

Anyway, ada kejadian nyebelin tadi pagi. Still remember my last posting tentang kegiatan membosankan yang gue lakuin, yep!! WAITING!! Ternyata sodara-sodara tercinta.... Guess what?!! I've been waiting for God-damn nothing!!! Useless, waste of time, and perfectly ruined my Saturday night plan!

So, ceritanya adalah waktu jumat kemarin itu... Gue menunggu approval dari klien soal layout print-ad yang dibuat sama gue dan temen-temen satu tim. Print-ad itu direncanakan bakalan tayang hari senin (which is today!!) So, berhubung sabtu dan minggu libur jadinya approval harus dikasih hari jumat, dong, ye.... Dan teruslah gue menunggu dan menunggu (terus aja nunggu sampe tua! hehe...) sampe jam 9 malem!! Nggak ada kabar terus, akhirnya jam 9an kurang, tiba-tiba AE gue memberi kabar menggembirakan yang aneh. Kata dia "Udah pulang aja, deh semuanya...." Lha?! jadinya gue dan copywriter gue bingung dan senang...huehehehe... Yasud, tanpa bertanya lebih lanjut, gue packing dan menelpon taksi buat pulang ke rumah, ber-weekend ria tanpa prasangka apa-apa. Gue cuma mikir mungkin deadline-nya diundur, karena sebelumnya juga pernah begitu.

Eh, ternyata sodara-sodara.... Tadi pagi gue dikejutkan (walaupun nggak kaget-kaget amat, sih.. Cuma nggak abis pikir aja..hihi) Print-adnya tetep tayang, dong!!!! Dengan layout yang berbeda (thankfully!) tapi worse part-nya tetep make copy yang dibuat Copywriter gue!! WTF??!!!! Kurang asem!!! Bos gue cuma bilang "Selamat datang di dunia industri!" Gue balas penyataannya dengan senyuman kecut, sekecut tai kucing (yaaa...walaupun gue belum pernah nyobain juga..Euwww...HUAHAHAHAHA)

Huhhhh.... Ternyata beginilah dunia kerja...hihi... Soooo.... Kesimpulan yang dapat gue ambil adalah WELCOME TO INDUSTRY, MY A**!!! +tarik napas panjang+

Anyway, rasa kantuk sudah sedikit berkurang.... Lagipula ntar gue juga harus lembur. Lega juga udah ngeluarin uneg-uneg...hehe....

Allright, I'll better signing off, beibeh....
toddles.

In Waiting...

2009-02-13T17:33:00.005+07:00

You know, waiting is the most annoying thing to do. I always hate waiting. Never ever like it. It feels like a self-desperation...huehehehe. And, at this very moment I find myself doing it +sigh+

Missing my home. Well, I think I should stop complaining, it could be worse... Wait a minute...there's no such thing worse than waiting...HUEHEHEHE... Eh, there IS a worse thing than waiting..Working overtime underpaid..or unpaid. Even better!!! Sense my tone there. ^_^
Well, my best friend got it!! Poor my dear friend.... It's been a month that she never had time for weekend. She spent her weekend at her office! WTF?!!

Still waiting...... Anyway, tomorrow is a Valentine Day... My friends bugging me about this thing. What's my plan for that day?? Hehehe... Actually, I don't really care about Valentine. It's all just marketing stuff from greeting card's company..hehehe... But, actually it's a funny thing to celebrate something-you-think-it's-special on that February 14...huehehehe... I'm sorry, I'm being cynical. Maybe it's the side-effect of my hatred of waiting.

So, for filling my boringness moment, I surfed on Damn I'm Cute almost all day long. It's a totally funny and full of sarcasm word talking about celebs... Totally my kind of jokes...Hihi.

Soooo.... I got nothing else to blabble....

Toddles. Have a good saturday-night

A Nice Temptation

2009-02-12T17:22:00.005+07:00

Blair: What do we have, Chuck?
Chuck: Tonight. So shut up. And dance with me.

If I were Blair, I'd do nothing instead of making plain-stupid-glare on face..huehehehe....

Enough for today unnecessary-ness....
I'll pack my bag and go home.
bye.
toddles.

Bel far Niente : It's oh so unnecessary...

2009-02-12T13:49:00.005+07:00

So far, ini yang gue lakuin dari jam 8.30 pagi.

Bos tak ada (katanya cuti sehari..hehe). Menunggu revisi. Facebook-an. Daily blogwalking. Lunch. Dengerin iTunes on repeat mode-on. Buat revisi (it's been the sixth revise on the same layout!! +sigh+ huehehe...). Browsing on gossip sites (it turns out Chris Brown has been #1 Douche-bag all over Perez Hilton's site...HUAHAHAHAHA... Based on his assault on a unidentified woman or...perharps it's Rihanna). Being addicted on Regina Spektor's sound.

Anyway, I turned 22 yesterday...hehe... Nothing special to report though.
Oh, iya.. Hampir lupa.. Kemaren sempet ketemu sama temen-temen dulu di McD after work. Balik ke tempat kost jam 10an, nggak pake mandi (hehe..), gosok gigi, nyetel DVD 'Shakespeare in Love' buat nemenin tidur, tapi akhirnya gue cuekin aja. Kok menurut gue, ya Joseph Fiennes too good-looking buat menjadi sosok William Shakespeare? Baca komik Sailormoon 2 jilid (mengenang masa muda...hehe), getting sleepy, and of course, having a good night sleep. What a good day, indeed.

But I'm still expecting weekend, pulang kerumah, ketemu Mamah...huu.. Ternyata kangen juga kalo nggak ketemu..hehe.. Padahal tiap minggu gue juga pulang, bawa my dirty laundry..huehehe... Secara gue belum nemuin tempat laundry kiloan yang pas, yang pas di kantong maksudnya ^_^

Allright. I should go back to my routine. I found a site contains a bunch of wit quotes from Chuck Bass...huehehe... I should pleased myself then.

toodles. have a good day wherever you are.

After-Watch

2009-02-03T08:55:00.012+07:00

Good Afternoon.... Hopefully today is a better day than yesterday...hehe... Today, my boss planned to take me doing a little sneak peek on commercial shooting...^_^ Never had experienced before, but i heard is a total boring... Yeah, but at least i experienced it myself.. Soooo... Last night, i don't know why i couldn't sleep, i stayed up until 01.30 am!! Maybe because i drank a cup of coffee after dinner. And what else you could do to killed the lonely time in a rented room by yourself. Instead of doing a suicidal act (lebai..huehehe) as usual i pleased myself to watch a couple of DVDs. Last night, i watched...

The Reader (starring Kate Winslet, David Kross & Ralph Feinnes)
Happy-Go-Lucky (starring Sally Hawkins)
and unfinished-watch Vicky Christina Barcelona (starring Javier Bardem, Scarlett Johansson, Penelope Cruz)

The Reader, totally caught my eye!! A good film indeed, no wonder they got an Oscar nominee for Best Picture and Kate Winslet's performance as wonderful as usual. Anyway, David Kross, who's played as the young Michael Berg is kinda cute too...hehe...
The story is setting on Berlin in 1995, but flashback to post-World War II sets. The story begins with a passionate love-affair between Hanna Schmitz (Winslet) with 20-years-younger boy, named Michael Berg (Kross). As the story goes, Hanna broke up their relationship and abruptly moved without a trace, leave Michael with deep-brokenhearted.

A years later, Michael entered Law School. One day his professor brought all his student to observe a trial about of several women who were accused of letting 300 Jewish women die in a burning church when they were SS guards. And surprisingly for Michael, Hanna is one of the defendants!. All of defendants were accusing Hanna as the mastermind of that tragedy, based on Hanna's handwriting on a letter.

But, Michael knows something, a secret that could save Hanna for life sentenced. Will Michael strong enough to aside his broken heart and save Hanna?
Well, y'all better find out on your own..hehehe

Happy-Go-Lucky is a total fun to watch!!!! Sally Hawkins' s character Poppy totally refreshes your thoughts...hehe... She's a thirty-ish girl, who's free-spirited, accepting and always positive-minded. The film teaches us to see the life with positive point-of-view. To see every possibilities in life, for being nice to every people in our life and the most important, always seek out the positive traits from each other. Very insightful...Poppy also has an edgy-style to see ^_^
At the end of the movie, Poppy's best-buddy, Zoe, advises her to think about "giving up being nice to everyone". Poppy dismisses the advice, cheerfully but not naive. Isn't it nice? hehe... I recommended to all of you!

I ain't finish yet watch Vicky Christina Barcelona, too sleepy to watched it! And i remember, i must go to work in the morning. +sigh+
But i bet it's gonna be an interesting film. I mean, Woody Allen always make a brilliant works!

Allrite, enough blabbing...^_^
I must go back to work.
I'll post the review 'bout Vicky Christina Barcelona soon.

bye.toddles.have a nice day.

Doubutsu-Uranai

2009-02-02T14:48:00.006+07:00

FYI, postingan kali ini nggak penting...kapan juga postingan gue penting..hehehe...

Ini sejenis personality test atau lebih tepatnya human characteristic. Namanya Doubutsu Uranai (i know, it's pretty hard to spell) Gue tau soal ini setelah doing my daily blogwalking ke The Pradonos.

Menurut website-nya Doubutsu Uranai itu "uses the date of birth, based on the Four Pillars of Destiny, that breaks down the human characteristics into 12 different kinds of animals."
For more info visit the official site here and to find out, what kind animal(and color) are you...freely visit here.

Jadiii...inilah hasil gue, I am a proud Silver Pegasus!!! (keren, yaa...hehe)

It says...

You are Silver Pegasus type, who looks active, and gives an impression of being a tom-boy.
You are extremely cheerful and good natured.
You can easily get emotional and start crying, you are rather too soft hearted.
Also, you are very obstinate and simple minded.
You easily give up on things and have weak will power to finish what you have started.
You tend to be sarcastic and critical, but on the other hand, you can show great devotion and dedication.
Your attitude lacks steadiness, and is always changing.
You always worry about what the other people are thinking and can be bit too sensitive.
But you are a person who naturally becomes a center of everything.
Your fast movement earns people's respect.
You have a natural born leader type of talent.
You will struggle on the contradiction between your ideals and real world.
You may end up doing something beyond one's imagination, so you must try to have self-control.
If you are opposed by someone, and although you know that they are right, you can not take it in easily.
You will be more successful if you can try not to go against people around you.
You tend to give too much attention to your family than to your lover.
This may cause a trouble in that your lover may feel jealous about you being too affectionate to your family than to him.
You should not force your convenience to him, and try to give him more affection.
You are more suited as a career person than to stay at home.
But once you get married you will take care of your family with great affection.

Sekitar 98% hampir mendekati lah...hehe...
So, what's yours?
Selamat mencoba....

toodles.

"Memory can change the shape of a room; it can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts".
