Lost in snowy days

Image
I'm writing this while listening to Rehab - Sittin in A Bar Juat listen, kinda brought back my mood to write. Hehehe. Anyway, Happy Christmas everybody, so great having another Christmas in the middle of people you love. As for me, I visited the old time uncle families and amazed at how fast the children grow. Dude, it's just been a year since I met them. Geez. This past week made me realize something (unimportant) which is.. Vino Bastian itu maen di banyaaak pelem and in each movies he acted better as a macho cool guy instead of this flamboyant man. Adore this hunk, but I guess world is not fair indeed since his voice is so pitchy high nanny-sound-alike. Hahahahaha. And then, now I'm a bit obsessed with the couple Luna Maya and Ariel - Peterpan . So cute, ini adalah hasil tiap hari nonton acara Dahsyat di RCTI kayanya, selera tontonan gue jadi kaya selera ibu-ibu. Huhuhuhuhu. Tapi seriously, they are cute eventhough the boy is shorter than the girl =P In

Moon Child

Image
Okay, so I watched this last night because I thought hell why not? This is Hyde and Gackt movie after all, and since there's so many things I read refer to this movie, it's gotta be an interesting watch session. It turned out to be exactly as I previously thought. An interesting watch. I like how the scenes were taken, even though the special effect is not as good as these days, but I enjoy it nonetheless. Please be warned that this post contains heavy spoiler. Moon Child is about a vampire named Kei (played by Hyde - L'arc en Ciel) who travel across time (not in Hiro Nakamura's way) and meet a young boy named Sho. Later this young boy grows up and become mafia-look-alike (played by Gackt) and they become close friends. Vampire Kei ended up being in friendship circle between five people, four guys and one girl. Since their friendship is surrounded among mafia world, then there's no surprise when one by one those five people eventually died. I almost expected this is

Twilight the movie

Image
First thing I noticed is (obviously) the absolutely ridiculous amount of make up that the Cullen family wears. What happen with all special effect team that supposedly getting better along these years? Even I could point out blank that Edward Cullen is wearing too much white powder he almost looks like a transvestite. Geez. It really turned off the mood so I made up my mind to comment out as much as I can during the whole movie. Jasper Cullen actually looked like Justin Timberlake (the hair!) with Charlie Chaplin character (except when they're playing baseball, he looked cool in that cap) with his being silent and stiff. Yes I know Jasper is supposedly become this empathy strong character but I don't get that in the movie. It doesn't even being explained, so newbie could only assume this Jasper guy is just another weird vampire. Neeways, the utmost mockery scene was when, out of nowhere, Bella suddenly felt in love with Edward the vampire. Uh, hello, their interaction is b

Lace - Shirley Conran

Image
I'm currently reading the old novel found in some old bookstore in Pasar Festival. It's called LACE and written by Shirley Conran. I must admit, I have never heard of her name, or her fancy work whatsoever. I picked it up randomly from the shelves, and for-God-sake's even it's cover is already gone. The book condition is like a used-up-old-wench as it may say within the book. Hehehehehe. The most interesting part before I choose to buy alien book is to look upon the review. Although I kept getting disappointing reading in oppose to good reviews on its back cover, I kept looking and searching for every new book reviews. Anyway, almost every review of the LACE contains the word "Sex". Quoted: "LACE is Glamorous Careers... Movie Stars, Greek shipping Magnates, French and British Aristocrats, Arabian Royalty, and Mind-Boggling Sex... Rapture!" --Harper's "All the Women Are Wildly Successful, and... Their Sex Lives are Explored in Loving Detail.&

Ssst, si ganteng..

Honestly, it's been like years ago I'm planning to write this, but I didn't have much time to do the research (baca: nyari gambar) so I guess it would only be proper if I included a lot of his faces in this one. Okay, who didn't recognize the hunk next to this article? You might have heard his song, such as "Breathless", "If That's OK With You", "Damaged", etc etc. Yeah, he's Shayne Ward, the winner of X-Factor 2005! Yipee! At first I infatuated truly only by his song ('fcourse, what else?) Berhubung lagu pertamanya yang so-so lucu di telinga itu "If That's OK With You" jadi akhirnya gue nyari-nyari yang lain. "Breathless" is also one of my fave since I could sing along at the high-pitch-part (ask my roommates ;P) Terus, usut punya usut, ternyata pemilik si suara indah ini bertampang lucu pula. Hehehehe. Reminds me of Michael Scofield waktu masi muda, hihihihi. Abis bertato dan liat begituh, duuh, n

Tropic Thunder

Image
What happens when you put Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr, Nick Nolte, Tom Cruise, and Matthew McConaughey all in one movie? Well, apparently something called Trophic Thunder. It's somehow a slapstick-comedy-action sort of movie btw. First of all, this sort of movie is not into my liking. So I skipped it to the very end of the movie, the part where co-stars playing in it are being showed. Jreng jreng, then I was amazed at those bunch of names so I forced myself to actually watch it. It's still ridiculous movie, but I love Tom Cruise there, he's been barely recognized as himself, if it wasn't for the title under his face that read "Tom Cruise", I would've not noticed. Hell, he's so different, and he's so norak, bo! He looks like the guy playing Veronica Mars' dad in Heroes. Heck, I forgot the real name of Veronica Mars character, and heck I even forgot her name in Heroes. Sue me. Anyway, Trophic Thunder is about some Vietnam war's

Mamma Mia!

Image
Waw, I really need to say WAW after watching this movie. The whole plot is hillarious, not to mention the nostalgic-remake-oldies-songs of ABBA, the quality of each co-stars' voices, the name casting for the movie (Amanda Seyfried, Meryl Streep, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, etc) and my-oh-my they all can sing. Mamma Mia is one hell of a musical movie (in a good positive interpretation), light-themed (unlike Sweeney Todd) with colourful scenes taken in Greek. All the guys filming in this pictures has muscles, darling! Really-really refreshing, entertaining, dan noraknya Meryl Streep itu mantab abis! Ngga nanggung-nanggung, ngga setengah-setengah, ngga malu-malu, keren! I love it when characters act, sing, dance, all in one crazy compact movement. The whole movie scenes cheered me up, made me laugh, brought me to aaaww-moment, ngga abis-abis adegan-adegan sweet, adegan kocak, adegan norak, adegan yang bikin gue mikir, "OMIGOD, Pierce Brosnan nyanyiii, kyaaa!!!" Hahahahaha,

Justice

Image
I didn't realize Kerr Smith is still exist in this world. Okay, I'm exaggerate a bit, but yes I'm quite surprised. He turned out okay by definition and being phrase correctly chosen by his latest TV Series - Justice, 'the good-looking, all-American-face of not-guilty' lawyer. I also happened to not realized that he looks quite alike with Julian McMahon . Why why, what a beautiful small world we live in. Who is Kerr Smith anyway? Well, he's Andy's gay little brother in old-school-movie Dawson's Creek (used to love the series up until Pacey and Joey broke up.. again) Anyway, this TV series Justice is about a bunch of top-level-hot-shot lawyers called TNT&G (cute name me think) who, well, defending all 'innocent' trial-suspects out there. I'll admit, I just watched the first episode but I'm quite thrilled. Mostly because of that Kerr Smith guy, but that's come in nature, mind you. By the look of the movie, all the scenes were take

How I met Your Mother?

Image
I have no idea what’s gotten into me, but after watching several episodes of How I Met Your Mother, the idea struck me like hell. This guy (the main actor) is very much resemblance of my friend. Oh-my-God. Not by the look, but by the way he talks and the way he thinks. Man, that suit him up quite a lot. Watch it people. He’s somewhat geeky and yet sometimes aspiring. The recent quote I call in fave was: Girl: We barely know each other, and you’re looking at me with that look, and it’s like.. it’s like.. *waving desperately* Boy: Like.. like what? Girl: Like “Let’s fall in love and get married and have kids and drive them to soccer practice” Boy: I’m not going to force sports on them unless they’re interested Girl: *Giggle* It’s a great look. But you’re looking at the wrong girl .

Dal Ja's Spring

Image
Yap, Dal Ja's Spring, a series I recommend to every soul out there. It's refreshing, fun and having so many touching lines right from the beginning. I love it because it's not a typical Korean love stories consist of teenager and honey bunny lovey-dovey things. Huahahahaha, pengaruh umur ni kayanya. Di usia segini, I tend to choose maturity over cuteness, hehehe, and if this movie gave me both, hell why not? Yang paling jelas sih ni serial ceritanya tentang seorang cewe 33 tahun yang jadi manager di sebuah perusahaan home shopping. Despite her age, she's actually never experiencing such thing as great romance. Gara-gara kebanyakan nonton drama dan pilem-pilem romantis, she sets her hopes so high it becomes ridiculous. Oh yeah, ni cewe kacau banget imajinasinya. Aslilah. Every piece of her imagination always made us, the audience, berasa DOENK! Seriously, even in those sad episodes, selalu ada things yang bikin gue ngakak saking lebainya tu imajinasi. Trus, line-line di

Prison Break (the next episode)

Image
There's some things that once you got a hold of it, you just can't let it go . You'll just keep turning back and hang on to it. Like me, for example. I'll never get tired of watching new old series, and eventhough it kept me up and down the hills at times, but eventually I'll still continue watching them and voila, the very same story caught my interest once again. Yah, Prison Break for example. This series had long gone from its first season, and right now, starting their fourth one and I'm STILL interested in the plot. Hahahaha. Maybe you thought of me as a bit of megalomaniac addict to Michael Scofield, but I don't think so. Michael Scofield is chubbier now, compared to the first season (in which everytime you set your eyes upon him, you goes like "Aaargh, kill me, he's adorable.") So, no, his looks is not something I chase anymore, cause right now I'm looking at Sara Tancredi. Hehehehe, big spoiler, yes? Despite the ridiculous plo

Re: Jay jay

Weird day Yesterday I went home only to find a bunch of homeless people sitting on my floor and playing cards. Wow, a game I barely played anymore. With that in mind, I mingled immediately and start playing like crazy. It's fun, it's awesome, it's brutal, it's SEVEN SCOPE!! We played for like centuries, cursing and singing like moron =D, being defensive and offensive as much as we could muster, and eventually it's already 3 a.m in the morning. Yaiks. I got meeting and client document processing tommorow morning! Aaah, who cares! =D Played and played like there's no tommorow, huhuhu, and then my roommate prepared their early breakfast (tsk tsk, that's like the earliest breakfast I've ever seen, hehehe). She cooked some meal then join us again after few brutal and bloody losses she suffered. Looked like she didn't want to be humiliated just like that, ladies and gentleman. That's why we changed the pace and the game into CAPSA! I sucks at capsa,

Pop the Question

Interesting quizzes, like always, charmed me in a certain way, especially when the quiz had cute questions to ask. Recently, okay maybe not that recent, I entered a quiz which cost me quite a minute to figure out the answer. Why? Because I imagine what the answer would likely be. Hehehehe. It's fun, actually. The cute question happened to be: What would your ideal time and place be when the question being popped? a. In a middle of a big game, maybe soccer, basketball, football, hockey, etc. During the halftime, the big screen up there read "Will you marry me?" and the whole hall scream for you both, dazzle you up. b. At the beach, in the middle of the slow dance, with Frank Sinatra - Moon River song played in the background, moon shone up above. He stared deeply into your eyes, kissed you, then popped the question. c. By bunch of clues, trails, signs that lead you to the end of a path, and by the time you reach the place, he stood there nervously, gingerly, then asked you

Who's this cutie?

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... Duuh demen dah kalo ada maenan baru buat dikecengin This guy's apparently named Alex Watson, yeah, the brother of Emma Watson, the Hermione 'Know-It-All' Granger. Pertama muncul di pers masih lucu-lucu balita, eeeh sekarang dah jadi good looking lad. Hehehehehehe.

Hair, oh Hair..

These days I often caught myself in between some dull thinking activities. Which is meaningless, and totally unimportant. But not necessarily un-fun(??). It is fun, in fact, it's enjoyable actually. Hehehehe. Salah satunya adalah ketika di siang bolong, saat sedang sendirian di kamar, tiba-tiba terbersit (terbesit? tebersit?) keinginan untuk ke salon buat ngegunting dan ngeriting rambut. Ta-da! That was such a brilliant idea! Magnificent! Genius! Melangkahlah saya dengan hati riang ke salon dan menanyakan kalo ngeriting kira-kira tahan berapa lama ya? Oh 3 bulan. Ya udah de ga papa. Yuk, keritingin rambut, yuuk. ----satu jam berlalu---- ... ----dua jam berlalu---- ... ----tiga jam berlalu---- "Anjrit, ni obatnya bau amat sih, Mbak!", gue protes tiba-tiba. "Oh, biasa itu mah", balas Mbaknya. ... ----empat jam berlalu---- "Buset, ni prosesnya lama banget, mana belom makan siang. Ah, tapi gapapa, beauty need sacrifice kalo katanya Sun Tzu." ... Pas dah s

Cih

What a freaking boring morning, and not to mention a lazy Monday to begin with. Up to this second, I idly browsed through ebay.com, trying to find a great deal with minimum purchase =P Aaah, shopping (eventhough) online is refreshing indeed. I found (but not necessarily bid) a cute Kate Spade handbag, gorgeous Bebe trench coat, nice Abercrombie & Fitch t-shirt, lovely yellow Bebe flowy dress (and I mean it, really lovely >_<), Banana Republic hoodie jacket, and tons of great other items. Aaaa... Refreshing... Then my colleague came to me with this bunch of documents, UAT documents, and asked me to REDONE my bug-free-proof screen shot AGAIN just because they asked for it. Muooonyong kampreeeet..... Napa ngga dulu aja sekalian?? Sumpah gue males banget ngulang2 aplikasi dari awal, bikin nasabah baru dan customize the freakin database biar bisa dites ulang. MALAS! MALAS! And I heard he wants to get out from this assignment and made it a secondary assignment? Wtf? Yah, mood mer

Gossip girl

Image
Hahhhh... it's been weeks since I saw the last episode of this series, but the drama and the after-effect eventually got me just now. The moment when I have nothing to do in particular at my client's office =D Blair and Chuck I really really really amazed by how this two love birds (if you may say so) interact and maintain their chemistry. Snow White meets Mr. Wolf. So fun when finally Blair (sort of) gave Chuck a chance to be non-jerk-human-being AND actually accepted his invitation to spend summer holiday in Europe. Well, but Chuck will always be Chuck, I can't imagine having the sweet-lovey-dopey-Chuck of all people, he changed his mood at the very last minute, giving us viewers a jaw-dropped sensation and the urge to shoot the British lad with firefighter. Nate and Serena Yes, I know this couple is so outdated, their relationship existence (as a couple) is not even there anymore. But come on, people, they're both cute. I had enough with the real Serena's boyfri

My day Of Hunting

Image
Hari ini, dan hari-hari sebelumnya, again I have nothing to do in particular at my office. Alhasil, gue jadi browsing-browsing dengan gagah berani, menyelip sana-sini di antara koneksi internet klien gue yang menggemaskan. Itu imagenya lucu ya, iklannya armani eyewear. Hehehe. Lucu amat tu internet, ngeblokir situs tergantung mood, detik ini semua lokal bisa tapi internasional ngga bisa, trus 5 menit kemudian, lokal dan internasional sebagian doang yang bisa.. AAARGH.. emosi jiwa sayah.. Anyway, setelah browsing-browsing ke www.80spurple.com , liat-liat ad-nya Emporio Armani for the sake of finding picture of Kaka (.___.) akhirnya gue kepikiran buat belanja online cara tradisional. Dimulai dengan iseng-iseng ngeliatin butik online temen kantor gue ( www.beliyuk.com ) yang tas-tasnya luthu-luthu, akhirnya berimbas ke google dengan keyword " jual harlem beat " HEHEHEHEHE. Seru juga tawar-menawar ma orang ngga dikenal via email dan sms. Rata-rata ngasi harga Rp 9000 - Rp 10.00

D.r.e.a.m.

Sometimes, a dream is better be just a dream. Never wish for it to become real, unless you're ready to face the mad truth that your dream is way better to be just a dream. True. Since in the reality, dream doesn't exist. Dream has no stand point. Dream is just not real. Sigh.

One taste of my say

Minggu kemarin I finished season 7 The Celebrity Apprentice and I got to say Omarosa is the first real living bitch I've ever seen in my entire live. Hahaha. I hardly called anyone as a bitch before, I'm not that rude, mind you. But she is unbelievable. Un-be-lie-va-ble. The devil herself. She's sly, she's suck up, she's a traitor, and definitely a character murderer. Wow, I've never seen anyone so blatantly pitiful like herself. Considering I'm quite an open minded person about certain weird things, this is pretty ironic. At first I thought she's just another killer apprentice, a great business woman, but then I realize something. There's a fine line between great business woman and plain pathetic kiss ass. She just did something that crossed the line. A great business woman knows when and where to put herself into any difficult situation. You got to have decent thinking AND attitude to be a great business woman. But that's not enough. Y

Review Time

Well, at my office there's a wellknown term for those auditor who claimed that they already finished the report and the assignment. That term called THE REVIEW. Biasanya review ini berjalan biasa-biasa aja cuman kadang-kadang ngebetein kalo yang nge-review elu kebetulan rada-rada galak dan bawel. Hehehehe. Anyway, that has nothing to do with what I'm gonna post today =D MOVIES Kemaren gue baru nonton Iron Man (after couple days previously I watched Forbidden Kingdom), and unexpectedly I love the movie. Hahahaha, that is one clumsy yet adoring superhero, not to mention bloody rich and wealthy -___-! Even Batman lose his charm. Deskripsi karakternya so funny, with all AI machines 'talking' to him and the sweet Pepper Potts, and crazy special effect with the Iron Man suit. Waw, so many things I like from this movie, but the credit gotta go to the ending and the opening. I really enjoy those movies who left memories within your brain after you left the

Soundtrack

After a while, watching and listening to most of the series' soundtracks, this song strangely came up more often than the other song. Hell, I heard it when I watched Journey Man, Las Vegas, Private Practice, Sexy Dirty Money, Big Shots, Gossip Girl, House, and now Grey's Anatomy? Geez, this song is laku, yah??? Peter, Bjorn and John - Young Folks. Anyway, just wanna update this thing with my recent playlist, 01. Miley Cyrus - See You Again 02. The Cranberries - Saving Grace 03. Bitter:Sweet - The Mating Game 04. Landon Pigg - Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop 05. T.Pain ft Florida - Low 06. Yael Naim - New Soul 07. Dream Theater- The Spirit Carries On 08. Jay Chou (ft Du Guo Zhang) - Zhou Da Xia (OST Kungfu Dunk) 09. Plain White T's - Hey There Delilah 10. Light House Family - Postcard From Heaven 11. Mariah Carey - Touch My Body 12. Emmy Rossum - Slow Me Down 13. Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love 14. Jordin Sparks Ft Chris Brown - No Air 15. Chatmonchy - Daida

Becoming Jane

Image
Becoming Jane , a tremendous literate English movie about the famous author, Jane Austen, is indeed a very nice movie. Kind of brought me the same reminiscence like when I was watching The Notebook. The same undying love, uncontrollable yet unbearable passion among the couple in love. Sigh. Its plot flows slowly, sweetly and in the same time make my heart gasp for air (or rather, blood). Significantly changing my mood, I tell you. I mean, you can tell from the way I was writing this post. There's this whole weird aura about England (specifically Hampshire and London) surroundings in the past and it really affected my hearing ability especially because now I'm hearing myself reread this post in a loud foolish British accent. The line in the movie is gorgeous, very hard to understand for a poor fellow like me, the girl who had only 500 in her TOEFL and God-knows-what in her IELTS score. Mein Gott, tu vocabulary bikin merinding, saking horornya bisa bikin gue introspeks

Project Runway

Have you guys ever watched Project Runway ? Well, I love this show, it's about the competition among designers and all its drama. In season 4, I set my eyes upon this one guy, named Christian Siriano (21 yrs old). It's not (actually) because of the way he look (like the reason I always had) but more to his design skills. I'm telling you guys, this boy is a whack. He can sew so freakin fast he's always almost finished in day One of every challenge. Another thing about Christian that I really loved is his personality and his attitude. He's funny, he's witty, he's on the edge. He's totally my favourite, I'd freaked out every time he's at the bottom two. Damn it, he's talented you lousy judges!! Not to mention that he's sorta cute =P And well well well... (after several clicking and typing in the google) you know what??? He IS the winner of that season!!! Aaaargh, spoiled wikipedia... but it's okay, I'm thrilled, I'm exci

Concern

Nah, abis baca blognya Andin, akhirnya gue kesandung ama beberapa situs yang ngasi tau info properti. Well, mengingat gue adalah manusia minim pengetahuan apalagi tentang masalah beginian (say politik, investasi, perbankan dan properti) jadilah gue tertarik untuk mencari lebih banyak info lagi, betul? Anyway, mahal juga properti jaman sekarang ya? Belum lagi ada isu inflasi parah mirip '98 lalu di tahun 2009 yang akan datang. Nooo... Semua investasi dan maenan saham/indeks yang dilakukan sekarang jangan2 bisa merugi bandar =( Di usia gue yang bentar lagi mencapai 'the quarter of life' aka 25 tahun, gue jadi refleksi diri. Ya ampun, pencapaian apa yang dah gue capai di usia segini? Kerjaan masih begitu2 aja, kredit rumah blom bisa jalan, credit card aja masih mencla-mencle applicationnya, dan oh no... I have no saving!! What a boros woman I am indeed! Pengennya nyari tau tentang Rusunami (rumah susun sederhana hak milik) macemnya The Gateway - Ciledug, East Park -

Simple things

Couple of days ago, I did something spectacular. Hehehe, I tried on contact lens, yipee! Berhubung I always -always, always- curious about that kind of stuff, I felt pretty good after that. Ternyata ngga seserem yang gue bayangkan. Ngga sesakit yang gue bayangkan. Dan ngga segampang yang gue bayangkan juga. ~___~ Duh, jadi pengen de, tapi horor ya kalo ternyata tiba-tiba gue stuck di tengah jalan and the lens won't come off. Oh no! Tapi gue pengen.. huhuhu, tapi berasa rugi kalo beli pake duit ndiri, ahahahaha... Dilema.. Anyway, selain wearing those contact lenses, there are other silly things I'd like to do.. say, rock climbing, grabbing a flying fox (pretty ironic mengingat MK dulu gue batal flying fox gara2 ngeliat Theresia stuck diem di tengah2 tali, kelewat ringan katanya, buset.. gmana gue?), seeing stars above from wide open area kaya jamannya gue perpisahan pas SMU dulu, ikutan kegiatan seru kaya Greenpeace/WWF/dll, and learning how to swim. Yang terakhir sebenernya gu
