2011-06-02T01:23:00.007+07:00

hi!
i'm currently waiting for my final report presentation day so i have a lot of free time. actually i have to study a lot but i didn't get the vibe yet. i decided to rewatch "the 1st shop of coffee prince" again. i like the series sooooooo much, mostly because the ahjussi/sajangnim is so cute, i want a man like him....

hehe this is totally cheesy, me writing about some stars that i like. totally fangirl-ish. but so whaaaaaaaaaaaat i love himmmmmmmmmmmm

i like that type of body, the broad shoulder, muscle but not too much, enough to hug. Ya Allah, kalo berkenan, nanti suamiku yang model gitu yaaa... amin *quickwish*

his name is gong yoo, 31 y.o, and his current movie is titled "finding mr. destiny"

i don't know about his other works but i really liked him in the coffee prince series. hope u can watch it too :)

about love song

2011-05-28T04:15:00.003+07:00

hey, me again. haven't close my eyes yet, my mind is buzzing, or my tummy is?

i'm currently addicted to big bang's "love song"
u could watch the video and the lyrics translation here

i like the rap part by top and gd, the lyrics are sweeeeetttt

The warm rays of the sun are from another world
The field of reeds is dancing all alone
I remain still at a green hill
Holding a conversation I’ve yet to finish with her
The sky is of an expressionless faith holding no answers
You’re probably hiding behind the clouds
You’re probably a star

I close my eyes and feel your breath
I dream about you
A smile spreads across my lips
You’re breathing with me now
Time, please stop, don’t separate her and I
Wind, stop blowing, this is my last letter to you

the bold part, i like the way he said it.
ah i'm a total fan

about the naked kitchen

2011-05-28T03:53:00.003+07:00

hi, it's 3.53 am now and i'm having trouble sleeping
the insomnia always came whenever i miss dinner.

so, in order to fill my time, i watched "the naked kitchen" again. it's not porn, regardless of the name hehe, it's a korean movie, starred by shin min ah, kim tae woo and ju ji hoon. its my... tenth time watching it :P there's a reason why i liked the movie so much

i always like a real stories, like how you could love two person simultaneously and the two person gradually became okay with that fact. for me it seems so mature, and yeah you might say that the person is selfish but hey, if you love 'em then you love 'em rite?

i guess it's unreal though. nobody's that nice. the fire of jealousy will surely eat u up. Ya Allah, semoga nanti suamiku sangat monogami, amin. *late night wish*

the reason why i like the movie... hmmm.. the house and everything on the set is cute. the female protagonist owns an umbrella shop, the designs is so... summer-ish, makes me want to lay around in the sun. both the male protagonist are chef so the way they served the food makes me want to try it soooo much.
and the sex scene in the museum is just amazing. i browsed it on youtube and find the video under the name "dazzled". the director is genius, he made it seem so sweet, and not dirty at all. best kissing scene I've ever seen.

to conclude, i just have to say this: watch the movie. the ending might be a little confusing but i just love how artistic the scenes are. not recommended for boys though. i don't think u guys will get it.

about posting again

2011-02-01T11:05:00.002+07:00

hi world, it's been a long time...

I miss writing, though I'm not really good at it. I've been wanting to post some things, but i haven't got the time...

I'm currently doing an internship in a public accountant firm, due to my college's requirement... if things go well i might be holding a title this year! *crossfinger*

ah, so I'm in Gresik right now, somewhere in East Java. the firm send me here to do some auditing with a couple of seniors. it's been 8 days now... and I'm waiting for the homecoming day to come sooner. i miss home. I've never been away alone, to a foreign city with no family at all.. and my house is so loud, i cant seem to adapt to the quiet hotel room. but i guess this count as growing up right?

the job is... hard. not hard to do, but hard to get through. it requires a steady state of mind, the non-procrastinating one. the one who understand it may love it so much so it will seem easy, but then again for newbies like me it's an amazing thing. how can u sleep just 3-5 hours max, and sit in front of ur laptop every day? my senior even sleeps with his laptop. that's insane. auditing is a robot job. -__-

i got a lot of things goin on now... i have to think about the topic of my report, when I'm absolutely clueless about everything.

sometimes i wanna cry. i don't want to grow up.

this 19 yo girl is not suitable for this world.

or maybe she is, but she didn't know it yet?

hope for the best, then.

Regards

about self-awakening

2010-05-27T11:44:00.002+07:00

Hi guys! It's been a while since i posted.

Due to my long-long-long holiday, i actually have too much free time, so i'm gonna start posting more often

recently i had some sort of self-awakening, about my self, what i really want in life
i got tired of people telling me who i am. i know it's cliche but what can i say? it's true.
i just got off from a serious relationship. though i can't really say got off, since he still hovering around me.
i think i'm just afraid, u know, for starting a whole new beginning consisting only myself.
but come on, every one can do it, why can't I?

so i started seeing things differently.
i realize some things about him that just not that good, it's common around boys.
i realize some of the thoughts he shared with me just didn't get along with mine
i realize, i don't need his judgment. i have my mom and my brother to nag me.

so i called that a self-awakening. haha maybe it's a bit shallow but my deepest thought stays in my head :)

happy holiday <;)

about Southern Vampire Mysteries

2010-03-15T22:30:00.004+07:00

Okay okay I know just by the title y'all will be judging me. Ever since the Twilight phenomenon, vampires is cliche. BUT you've got to read this series!

Ever watched True Blood? It's an HBO original series, starred by X-Men's Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. The series is based on Charlaine Harris novel, Dead until Dark.
The series is... for adults, I think. First I watched it in HBO, so there's a lot of censorship going on. Then I decided to buy the DVD and my oh my, I think it's rated NC-17 hahahaha :P

Then I heard from my cousin that the series is based on a book, and I love to read the book first then watch the movie, coz I would want to know how the story ends, and book-version usually is way much better than movie-version, so I have to read the book.

As you could expect, the book was better.

I never really knew the Southern America thing. Why are these people considered the hillbillies by the New Yorker, why they have a very weird accent, and a weird grammar too! It's fascinating, to know another culture. But it sure is funny when you hear the stars talking in True Blood. Thank God for subtitles...

So, you can grab the Indonesian translation of Dead Until Dark in the nearest bookstore, and the original version too..

but if you want the dirty way... download it at www.4shared.com

REMEMBER, PIRACY IS A CRIME!

about Princess Hours

2010-01-09T01:35:00.001+07:00

I realize I haven't wish u all a happy New Year, Happy New Year guys! Hope 2010 will be way better than 2009...

Soooo, I've just finished "Princess Hours"... I know, it was a big hit in 06 or 07 but I miss it. I like it! It has the tradition values, combine with modern life. It's funny and also sad, like other Korean series. I just realized that the story have the same pattern, although the characters and the circumstances is different. It will always be this love story about a boy and a girl, and each one of them has another love interest whether it's one-way or two- way. But although I know what the story's going to be, I still watch those stories till the very end. Told ya I'm a romantic ;)

I'm gonna buy some more DVDs this weekend; let's hope my mama won't nag me for spending too much time in front of TV...

Toodles!

about another holiday

2010-01-09T01:25:00.005+07:00

Hey guys, how you doin'?
It's been a long time since my last post. I've been busy and not in a blogging mood. I watched a lot of movies though, and I'm gonna review it one by one.

I watched Chalte Chalte few days ago. Again, it's bollywood and starred by Shahrukh Khan and Rani Mukherji. It's sooooo romantic, but real. Not some vampire-poet-romantic type. It's about following your heart though your mind doesn't allowed it, and marriage problems. Real problems. I really like it...

And I bought Frankie & Johnny, a film starred by Al Pacino and Michelle Pfeiffer. I really don't know how to spell her name. The movie is romantic, in a weird kinda way. Frankie & Johnny both have their problem, that’s why Frankie didn't just say yes to him from the beginning. But I must say Al Pacino plays such a character. Johnny is cute, with lots of knowledge of little things and he cooks. Oh how I loooooooove a man who can cook :D
I have a thing with cook ☺☺

I bought another series, this time I choose Korean. The title is "You're beautiful". I don't know who the casts are cos I can't remember their name ☺. The story is about a girl name Go Mi Nyu, she's studying to be a nun. She has an identical twin brother name Go Mi Nam. One day, a man looks for Go Mi Nyu, saying that Go Mi Nam is going to be a superstar but he cannot sign the contract due to a bad plastic surgery. The man is Go Mi Nam's manager. He asked Go Mi Nyu to replace her brother position for a while, pretend to be a man. The story looks so cliché, I know, but it has a lot of ups and downs, and it's so funny! I highly recommend this series to the entire girl...

The picture is crappy, I know. But then again, don't jugde the book by its cover...

Well, that's it for now, I'm gonna go watch another movies/series and I'm gonna review it to you soon! Ciao ☺

about my holiday

2009-08-20T18:37:00.000+07:00

Hey guys, how's your holiday? I'll bet it's better than mine :)

I'm super-duper bored. I want a real holiday! I want to get out from Jakarta, just getting some mountain/beach air. As long as it doesn't smell like pollution -_-

Basically this holiday I'm just laying around, watching dvds and more dvds, re-read all my books, go to all nearest mall. Damn these malls are boring! I want to go to the zoo, museum or somethin like that but well, it was never a right time.
So, my goal is, before the semester starts I'm going to go somewhere by myself. Hopefully I wont get lost *cross fingers* and I will have fun in Jakarta, at last :)

I'll post soon enough!

about Atonement

2009-08-20T18:21:00.002+07:00

You can only imagine the truth...

That's the tag line from Atonement. Keira Knightley and James Mcavoy starred in this romantic yet tragic love story about how a simple lie could change lives.

Well, you guys should just watch the movie, I don't want to be a spoiler. I really love the way the Director put things so that we can be moved by the story.

Aaaaaaaaand James Mcavoy is such a hottie so I say you wont be bored :)

Enjoy!

about Groundhog Day

2009-08-20T18:01:00.003+07:00

Hey guys! I haven't post in a while… I kinda forgot :)
Every time I reached the computer... well let's just say it never crossed my mind.
So I watched Groundhog Day this night, it was great. Bill Murray starred as Phil Connors, a weather anchor who hates Groundhog Day.

Unfortunately every year he's assigned to cover the festival at Punxsutawney. I don't know if i spell that city right. So, somehow he's stuck at that day. February 2nd. Every day he woke up and it's Groundhog Day. So he began to find out why he kept repeating the day over and over again with the help from citizens of Punxsutawney and his two colleagues, Rita and Larry.
I seriously recommend this movie for those of you who love classic-comedy stories. I do love those 90's movies. I'll post again about it. Enjoy!

about Twilight Saga

2009-06-30T02:38:00.004+07:00

Usually, every holiday I get, I spend the most of it at home with books and movies and songs. I don’t know why, but I always read the Twilight Saga over and over again. I just love it!

I know I sounded like a typical teen, going with the trends but hey, even before they decided to make Twilight into a movie I already love it.
From the saga, I have to say my favorite is Midnight Sun. Even though I just read the partial draft, I still like it better than the others, because I get to see what’s inside of Edward’s mind. To really know what he was thinking about Bella.
Or maybe because I really want a guy to love me the way Edward loves Bella.
Ha, I’m just rambling now. It’s late, and my play list is the mellow tunes from John Mayer.

But seriously, you HAVE TO READ Midnight Sun. It’s in English, and sometimes the word is difficult to read, but hey, I guarantee you its worth it.
Here’s the link  http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/pdf/midnightsun_partial_draft4.pdf

about John Mayer

2009-06-30T02:30:00.003+07:00

I love John Mayer.
I reaaaaally do.
He’s like a genius, and cute too. His music is something that we can relate to, like heartbreak, falling in love, and life.
My favorites are….all of it!
Every song has its own way to describe my life. It sounds cliché, I know, but it’s true. Sometimes, when I don’t feel like talking, I just lock my self in my room and listen to his songs.
Ah well, that’s just me. How about you?

PS: My recommendation --> In Repair, Dreaming With a Broken Heart, Vultures, Clarity, City Love, St Patrick's Day, and Split Screen Sadness for you guys who just loves to be lonely...

about bollywood

2009-06-30T02:27:00.003+07:00

Have I told you that I love Bollywood movies? Guess it never came up, eh?
Well, I really do love them. A few of them, not all. Coz all will be too much, since the rates of bollywood movies is a thousand per year.
I like Indian movies because despite all the dancing and the over-acting, their love stories always got me.
I watched Dhoom:2 today. It’s kinda like an action movies. The modern one, but still there’s a plenty of singing and dancing, it’s inevitable part of Bollywood. The cast is Hritik Roshan, Abishekh Bhachan, and Aishwarya Rai. Hritik as Mr.A, the world-class thief who just happened to be chased by Abishekh, the police. Then, the police used Aishwarya to get to Mr. A, by fooling him that she’s want to be his partner.
I like this movie coz you can’t guess what the ending is like. The problem is, the movie is super-long. Almost 3 hours. But it’s worthy, a lot of six-packs tummy to see! Yum yum :P

about twilight the movie

2009-06-30T02:21:00.003+07:00

I just watch Twilight again for like, the hundredth times tonight. I really really looooooove Bella. Although I think the book is way better than the movie, I still mark that movie as a good one. Not too far from my expectations, for the vampires in the book will look much more beautiful than the movie.
So, let’s discuss the cast, shall we?
For the role Bella and Edward, I think Kirsten Stewart and Rob Pattinson nailed it. The chemistry was there, it’s cool. And for the rest of vampires, Carlisle, Emmett and Alice were perfect. Jasper’s hair really bugs me, and Rosalie isn’t as pretty as I expected. The books said she would be like, the most beautiful person on earth, but in the movie, well I can say Bella is way better-looking than her. Nikki Reed is pretty, but not that pretty to be Rosalie. Maybe Blake Lively will do better, or I don’t know, Megan Fox, perhaps? Perfect face, perfect body. I just can’t see Nikki Reed as Rosalie. And sure, I know beauty is relative. Everyone has their own perspective, this is mine.
What’s yours?

about love-stories

2009-06-30T02:17:00.003+07:00

I love love-stories. All girls do. And this is a movie I would recommend if you’re looking for love-stories. The movie called Love Actually. It’s about Christmas and how the love is all around, everywhere. It has all kinds of love-stories. True love, parents love, puppy love, forbidden love, weird love, or even best friends love. The movie is touching and the cast has big names in UK. For examples, Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Keira Knightley, et cetera, et cetera. I gave 5 stars for this film.

about Aladdin

2009-06-30T02:14:00.001+07:00

So, I've been reading Aladdin and Other Tales from The Arabian Night as bedtime stories these past few nights. It’s really good, y'know. The tales is enchanting and the characters' description is really detail. The stories have existed for like, a thousand years, more or less. It’s cool to imagine what the past is like, with the entire magic, secret palace, and jinnee! Oh how I love jinnee! When I was little I used to rub my lamp, just hoping that someday a jinnee might pop up and do miracles.
Actually, I still hope someday miracles would happen.
Here’s the picture of the book cover,
