One writer's block

Happy New Year, kawan! Masih dalam semangat blogging dalam bahasa Nusantara, saya masih akan mengusung posting kali ini bertema drama dan pertemanan *halah* dengan mayoritas menggunakan Endonesia. Kapan itu yah di social media saya pernah ngomong kalo, " I need drama in my life " saking basi dan plain -nya hidup saya kala itu (kek kali ini ngga ajah). Tapi sejujurnya, saya tidak suka drama. Sebisa mungkin saya menghindar jauh-jauh dan mengucap kata, "pahit, pahit" kalo sedang ada drama di sekitaran saya. Mengapa? Karena kapasitas memori saya terbatas. Itu aja sih. Hahahaha. Percayalah kawan, saya adalah orang terbaik dalam menyimpan rahasia (mostly) soalnya pasti langsung lupa besoknya. Kekekekekekeke. Drama paling menyenangkan yang saya sukai adalah yang ngga drama-drama amat. Misalnya, kemarin waktu jalan-jalan ke Makassar dan Liukang, tiba-tiba saya mengidam ingin makan pisang goreng. Ih, pas sampai di pulau, beneran looohhhhh disediain sama yang punya pen...

Hujan-hujan gini enaknya mengenang cerita lama niy. Kangen juga nulis pake bahasa Endonesia untuk sesuatu yang bukan berupa proposal atau laporan kerjaan kantor. Hehehe. Mei 2012 kemarin, entah kesambet apa, yang jelas saya dan teman-teman *halah* melancong ke daerah Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam, ato yang biasa saya sebut HCMC *penting*. Trip kali ini rada bego sebenernya, soalnya seminggu sebelum perjalanan itu, saya terpilih sebagai pegawai yang beruntung untuk mengikuti training di luar negeri. Di mana? Tepat sekali. Di Ho Chi Min juga. Terjadi perbedaan gap yang luar biasa sekali antara trip yang dibayarin ama kantor sama trip biaya kantong sendiri, hahahahaha. Dari level hidup hotel Sheraton yang makan pagi, siang, malam terserah makan apa ngga pake pusing bayarnya gmana, ke level pelancong ala princess yang kemana-mana bawa koper padahal ngakunya backpacking. HAHAHA. HCMC ini yah, sesungguhnya adalah kota yang saya sukai. Why? Karena banyakkkk taman kotanya, kawan. Mirip Band...

Never have I seen such heartwarming TV series that keep bringing up political issues, which is, really, hardly ever heartwarming in my dictionary. The Newsroom (2012), is a TV series about a broadcasting news team, working in independent cable TV station who changes their way of delivering the news. This is started when the second most watched news anchor, Will McAvoy ( Jeff Daniels ), was forced to work with the new team because his old team was migrating to 10 o'clock slot. The whole news format that was once a rating-whore show, drastically stirred their direction to producing-facts-only format and purely letting the viewers have more options in watching fact-confirmed, independent and honest news. Hmm, that was what I felt about Metro TV long long long time ago, back when they first showed up in my screen. It was a crazy ride, I'm telling you. I cried, I laughed, I spilled on my drinks, I dreamt about it, I had me some wistful thinking, ohmygodifreakinlovethisseries...

I almost forgot how Thai movies actually lighten up my mood. Started with Phobia 2, ATM, BTS (Bangkok Traffic Love Story), Love of Siam, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and Hello Stranger. They looked like Korean movies but with less intensity and drama. Always light, fluffy and easily digestible. So last night I was betting my luck and found this movie with interesting synopsis. FIRST KISS. One office working girl met one high school boy who stole her first kiss. #eeeaaaa. Right up my alley, ladies and gentlemen! Hahahahahaha. Here here,  berondong kinyis-kinyis. Objectively speaking, this movie is no better than standard Indonesian cheesy lousy acting movies in cinemas. But I like the idea of them exploring the idea. Hahaha. Sounds complicated but it’s not. The story is so-so. The humor is basic. The actors were yeah well..  But it’s still nice to watch. Hahaha. Another movie that successfully fished out the laughter out of my throat was The Avengers. Yes, I’m so last ...

Okay. Off we go with several movies I’ve noted as movies that left me wanting more with creepy-haunted feeling and obviously deep impression. Firstly, CONFESSIONS . It’s a Japanese movie and it won several awards since its debut in 2010. I have to admit I paid little attention to this one and that’s why it’s sitting for quite a while in my external drive. But hell yeah it delivers. Damn, I LOVE school-based movies. Like I always said. Over and over. It might be something in the water I drink, I guess. Not to mention this movie is a dark themed one. Oh what have I done to deserve this privilege? *whispering thank you to in-charge upstairs* It’s basically about confession from string of people, started with one female homeroom teacher. It’s about the death of her child. Ruled as accident by the cop, she took things into her own hands. It’s really amazing how high the juvenile rate is in Japan and to connect it to the bullying-suicidal reference, so interesting. I love it. I love c...

It's been seriously a while since I did my Western series recap. The last one was this one here so I guess it's been two years now, huh? Well... I think I started with the easiest one to remember just because it reminded me of what my working environment supposed to be like. Hahahahaha. You wish. It's SUITS , ladies and gentlemen. Yes I know, I'm way far behind this one, I just watched up to S02E04 *sob sob* but I think I love it. The main reason why I love this series is not because of Mike Ross *insert gasp of surprise here* but more because whomever I despise, they got rid of it soon. Yay. For example, the girlfriend of his best friend? Ha! Out of the line. There's a fine line between romantic hopeless unrequited love for someone you cannot/should not have (e.g. Pearl Harbor , New Moon - haha, Brothers - I'm freakin in love with it, My Bestfriend's Wedding , etc) and inappropriately do so. And SUITS just made my freakin bowel move when they did. B...

While contemplating upon my unreasonable reasons as to why the heck did I NOT watch the show, I decided to dedicate this post to my biggest and earliest boy-band infatuation everrrr, the Backstreet Boys! Gyahhhh!! I seriously shameless about BSB, hahahahaha! I collected the magz pin-up posters, collected the album (my fave especially, Black and Blue!), memorizing the whole lyric, head over heels over Brian, singing to "EVERYBODEEEEHHHH, YEAAAAH!" in the bathroom... oh dear Lord, so awesome! Too bad Kevin is not in the band anymore, cause I hate it when a boyband is not complete.Though it appears that he sometimes show up at the concert in several cities, did not know whether he showed up in Jakarta since hello... I stupidly decided not to come. Grr. Okay... where was I? Anyway, I just want to post something so shallow as one of my friend once said, "My, you're more the right side of a brain than the left, you're the Apple not the Android, you're all...
