A Kind Reminder

February 7th, 2010
Penting untuk diingat semua orang yang memakai angkutan umum:
- Jagalah barang anda baik-baik. Masukkan HP dan dompet anda ke dalam tas, dan pegang erat-erat tas anda tersebut.
- Bagi yang naik ojek, jangan lupa pegang erat-erat tas anda. Jambret motor cuma memerlukan sepersekian detik untuk merampas tas anda.
- Bagi yang naik bajaj, jangan duduk di bagian pintu. Duduk di bagian dalam dan pegang erat-erat tas anda. Kalau anda duduk di bagian pintu, serahkan tas pada yang duduk di bagian dalam atau letakkan tas anda di bawah dekat kaki. Lebih baik tas itu menjadi sedikit kotor daripada berpindah tangan dan tidak akan pernah kembali kepada anda lagi. Jambret motor juga punya perhatian khusus terhadap penumpang bajaj.
- Jika anda masih dijambret jg, langsung blokir semua rekening ATM yang kartunya atau buku tabungannya ada di tas tersebut. Demikian juga dengan nomor HP anda.

Sekedar catatan, pacar saya kemaren dijambret di bajaj. Jambret motor, kejadiannya hanya sepersekian detik. Harta memang bisa diganti, tapi tentu saja hal ini menimbulkan stres dan trauma. Kalian tidak perlu merasakan hal itu untuk sadar bahwa kalian harus menjaga barang bawaan baik-baik.

Foreign Movies

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not (France)
Well, I gotta admit I didn't expect too much from this movie. Ever since I watched Love Me If You Dare, I expected none less than ambiguous and hard-to-understand movie plot. Like any French movie. So when I saw the first 20 minutes of it, I hate to admit I thought it's a so-so one, UNTIL.. jreng jreng jreng, the plot suddenly took major table-turning. I honestly and literally had my eyes opened since I saw it in office late night waiting for my colleague to wrap up her job, thus it's a lil bit sleepy time. Eiyyy, I like it at instant! You need to saw it, Mademoiselle Audrey Tatou strikes once again. Hehehehe, it's about desperation of one young girl whose love been wasted by some jerk cardiologist doctor. Or so you thought.



The Tidal Wave (Haeundae) (Korea)
I heard this one made it into box office in Korea, so I thought what harm could be possibly done by trying to take a peek on it? And regret I not, since it is one memorable movie. Personally I think Haeundae is more terrifying than any other disaster movie (Independence Day, etc) since my country had actually experienced it. So yeah, that's pretty horror to watch, especially when there's a big chance tsunami would occur again some time in the future. My favourite (and might be everyone else's) scene part was Lee Minki's. Boy oh boy, did he can pull some act. I love it, he looked so much different from the character in Dalja Spring (where he would be one cool spare tire) and turned into one dorky life guard who actually sported a good angle in the last minute of his life (err, did I just say a spoiler there?). It's a shame since the one who produced tsunami movie was Korea which in real life didn't get strike from it. Or maybe that's the exact reason why mine didn't make one? Traumatic experience? Meh.


City Of God (Brazil)
An epic story around ultra violent city named City Of God. And it's based on true story. And the real actor played in that movie is only one person (Matheus Nachtergaele, played as Carrot) while the rest of them were handpicked by the director himself. Some others are actually the citizen of City of God, impressive! How on earth could you live in that place? Where shooting and killing and robberies are normal routines and children could easily get their hands on guns? Anyway, the best accomplished acting was gained by Leandro da Hora (played as Lil Ze, the maniac) since in reality he's one calm, quiet and uncomplicated person, but in the movie this person rises as a crazy violent gang shooter boss. Me, predictably, love the Benny character (played by Phellipe Haagensen) the coolest gangster in City of God. He's suave and pretty much resembled the original man in real life. And not mention that he's cute, hahahahahaha, and he's the brother of that Shaggy (the leader of Tender Trio gang) character. No wonder, good genes runs in the family.

One thing I liked from City of God is their quote:
Hoods don't love, they lust
Hoods don't talk, they seduce
Hoods don't stop, they just take a break


Letters from Iwo Jima (Japan)
I watched this quite some time ago but I couldn't find the time to wrote something about it. Vaguely, I recalled Ken Watanabe's splendid acting and 'fcourse that Ninomiya Kazunari fellow (Poor Prince, Arashi's member). I like the ending, but then again, when did I ever dislike one tragic and sad ending? ;P It took place in World War II, in the great war between US and Japan, from Japanese perspective. Noone had actually liked to be in war, but sometimes the situation forced them to survive. I cringed upon so many scenes (including dog killing, men killing, etc) because basically I hate war. I never get it, if you don't want to be in a war, then don't start one.

The City Hall

February 5th, 2010
This is exactly why I'm loving this latest drama material of mine...



Hahahahahaha, so cute.. One not-so-perfect Deputy Mayor, Jo Gook, (played by adorable Cha Seung Won) forced his will upon one poor (but not that foolish) girl, Shin Mi Rae (played by Kim Sam Soon's Kim Sun Ah).

Love it! This drama, well, I'd say is an age appropriate one for all of its witty dialogue and cliche humor senses. The guy is 30-sumtin and the lady is 36-going-on-34.

Refreshingly cute.

Anyway, I just surfed around to find more info about this good-looking actor, Cha Seung Won and apparently he appears more in wide screen than in small screen. Well well well.. ain't he a catcher? ;P

He played the North Korean officer in "Into The Gunfire", cast as the revolutionary in "Like the Moon Escaping from Clouds", posed as the desperate detective in thriller movie "Secret", and more in "Libera Me", "My Teacher Mr. Kim", "Blood Rain", "Eye for an Eye, Tooth for a Tooth" Glek! The list seemed endless.. and why haven't I heard of this guy before? Well, maybe because he is one generation above me =D

Kemarin saat membuat daftar keinginan tahun 2010, gw menempatkan sepeda di keinginan teratas gw. Lhadalah, koq kebetulan bank tempat gw menggesekkan kartu sedang mengadakan program cicilan 0%, 6 bulan, untuk pembelian sepeda di sebuah toko sepeda yang cukup ternama. Kaget juga, segitu baiknya Allah mewujudkan keinginan gw. Tau gitu, kan gw tulis jodoh di nomor satu :PAkhirnya Sabtu kemaren, gw

It can wait…….. can’t it? xD

Manusia sebagai makhluk yang tak sempurna mempunyai banyak kelemahan. Bagi diri saya sendiri, salah satu kelemahan saya adalah suka menunda pekerjaan. Kalau bisa besok, mengapa harus sekarang? Kalau bisa dikerjakan orang lain, kenapa harus saya?

Contoh kasusnya, beberapa teman saya hari ini menganjurkan saya untuk lebih fokus dan mulai menulis secara serius. But, well, saya terlalu malas untuk melakukan itu :P Sampai-sampai teman saya yang anti 'mencubit' merasa udah capek 'mendorong-dorong' saya supaya saya 'mengangkat pantat' dan mulai bekerja xD

Kapan ya saya bisa rajin seperti si A, B atau C (bukan nama sebenarnya-red)? Perilaku tidak menunda pekerjaan sebenarnya sangat diperlukan dan sangat efektif untuk menghindari deadline, kurang tidur dan kemudian sakit (karna ngerjain buru2 mendekati deadline). Selain itu juga banyak keuntungan lain, seperti punya lebih banyak waktu buat maen game tanpa harus merasa bersalah (kalau waktu buat maen game dengan merasa bersalah sih banyak, maen aja di kantor), waktu pulang yang lebih awal (tidak begitu berpengaruh sih bagi orang IT, abis kerja browsing dulu ampe malem), sampai makin disayang pacar (karna sabtu bisa ngajak kencan gak terjebak lembur, well tergantung kalau si pacar lembur ya gigit jari).

Eh, tapi ternyata ini aja udah nulis ya.. berarti saya tidak malas dong... hore! udah capek nulis, istirahat gak nulis sebulan aah hehehehe xD

What? Solusi? Ya mana gue tempeeeeeee jelas-jelas gue jg kena masalah yang sama :))

once upon a time

February 1st, 2010
when i was such a silly little girl.. a friend of mine said this..

"if i'm accepted in SMU XXX, i will buy you any toys that you want!"

at that time, i have a dream to buy this one particular toys that is very expensive. even my parents wont buy me even though my grades are up. i knew he had the capability to buy me that toys, because his parents are freakingly tajir. so i prayed for him a lot. i prayed and i really did anything to help him study so he can enroll there. so he can buy me that toys.

a week later, he did really pass the exam and got accepted in that school.

i always remember that time. that might be one of the happiest feeling that i ever experienced in my childhood. finally i can have the toys..!!

silly me, he never bought me that toys.
and now, am i still the same silly little girl that i used to be?


My first experience dengan The Jack Mania…

January 31st, 2010
It's happened on Last Saturday...
Ceritanya abis pulang dari client di Cirendeu, sendirian pula...
Start dari cirendeu abis Maghrib...
Niatnya naik angkot and bus aja... karena berangkat ke sana udah pake taxi
dan ongkos taxi yang dikasih client cuman cukup untuk sekali naik aja... mahal bro... diatas 70ribu sekali berangkat...

Pulang tanpa firasat apa2... pulang dengan hati tenang dan senang,
karena setidaknya kerjaanku udah lumayan beres. tinggal ada 1 hal yg belum sempet aku test...
Hujan deras memang, tapi kan aku bawa payyunng...
Mulanya lancarrrr, eh pas di tengah2 perjalanan menuju terminal Lebak Bulus, mulai padet merayap menjurus gak bisa jalan sama sekali..
ternyata eh ternyata ada gerombolan The Jack Mania...
aku pikir yaah macet biasa lhaa... kayaknya aku dah biasa liat gerombolan the jack di jakarta.

Ternyata menurut firasat supir angkot, macetnya bisa berjam2 kalo dah kayak gini.
So, sang sopir yang bijaksana berinisiatif untuk muter balik untuk mencari jalan lain yang gak macet...
