Need I say more about the title? No wonder it gets 2 nomination in the Academy Awards. It is a movie directed by Stephen Daldry based on a novel by Jonathan S. Foer about Oskar Schell, a boy that is trying to find a lock for a key he found in his dad’s closet after he died. The key belong to a certain ‘Black’ surname and as Oskar tries to find what’s the...

Birthday?

 I'm back from school one day and my brother, who's in the 3rd grade, is just telling my mom why he didn't do one of his T-shirt painting project in school.
Brother: I didn't do my project because I forgot my date of birth
Me: what? you forgot your birthday?
Brother: what?
Me: yeah, your date of birth, your birthday
Brother: oh, it's the 2nd of March
Me: what do you think birthdays are celebrated for?

Things I've tried

Okay, lists are lame, I know. But as a part of my new year’s resolutions, this is pretty important. So let’s round up January! I’ve made Apple Crumble and it’s gooood. Not only that, when I’m caramelizing the apple I put too much water and ended up pouring it into a cup and when I tasted it, unexpectedly it tasted also good I went to this party in Cheesecake...

Sunny January

So, it’s almost the end of the first week of 2012 but since I’ve been out of town recently, I haven’t got the chance to say Happy New Year folks! Let me tell you in brief what I will do this year. 2012: I’m gonna be 2.0 which means I’ll upgrade myself in many many aspects. First of all, I am still a half-vegetarian. Processed and canned meat still isn’t allowed...

3 movies to start the middle of the week, randomly I watched these movies and I’m instantly in love with the setting, angle and the technique their using while shooting. Well, without further or do, I present…. ANOTHER EARTH To me, the most artistic part of this movie is the way they take the shots. It’s magical and enchanting but also real. The story line itself is deep...

Holiday is on its way close! and I got just the entertainment when all the TVs are playing same old holidays movies, the radio singing the same song again and again and where you can just spend your spare time before family dinner. The special feature is, all the game that I picked DO NOT HAVE any opponent, cause yes, I don’t like to lose and it’s better to see your own score...

November: ACED!

hell yeah, it is December and I will recapitulate on what I did and probably did not do on November. For starter, I did a video clip cover on Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris’ We Found Love. It was so much fun. I got to dress up like a bad girl, went to airport (for the 1st time) and illegally shot video there ahaha, rode on the trolley, direct the whole thing and edit the video till it’s...

November (recapitate)

Busy is now my middle name, therefor, I shall just recap on what happens this month LATER on when all my hectic schedules are cleared. Just so you know, though I’m busy and all, I am having tons of fun. Of course minus the over the limit phone bills, stress, planning, re-planning, directing this and that, going here and there, etcetera etcetera. Shall I say I’m addicted to the euphoria...

October, october, october. That time of year when scary is fun and vampires are once again suck. So yeah, I’ve always been this anti-horror lady but I never said that I dislike thriller and suspense. Heck, I love mummies, mysteries, murder and unsolved crimes. Though it’s safe so say I’m not into ghosts and paranormal thingy. I mean, why be scared for something that...

Self discovery. I can describe many authors who had done absolutely great in this area, but to myself, or shall I say, my personal pick is Malcolm Gladwell’s books: Blink, Tipping Point, What the Dog Saw and Outliers (which a very dear friend of me gave as a birthday present). I’ve only read Outliers but I must say it is a very fresh and scientific book about upgrading yourself and...

It is saturday and for your enjoyment only, I will be giving you not 1 but 2 ‘back-to-the-70s’ movie based on Agatha Christie’s novels. No need to explain any further, because if you know her then you’ll probably have figured out who’s the main character. Which is of course, M. Hercule Poirot. The smart Belgian detective is, unfortunately, wasn’t accompanied...

Feeding the creative souls

It’s about 4:18 here in Jakarta when I first put in the picture. The fan in my room suddenly and unpleasantly died of no particular cause so there’s really no reason to go back to bed and because now I’m super hungry too. Anyway, what’s with the poster? well, Provoke! Magazine (free magazine distributed to Senior High students) has given to be a chance and a huge one, to...

Summer in small town

Yup, July’s here and summer movies is kicking in. A lot of super movies are coming on its way. Just to name a few: Harry Potter, Another Earth, Breaking Dawn, Transformers 3, The Hangover II and more. In my own pleasure, I like to see more indie films but to start with this summer fantasia, I would like to tell you about Super 8. First of all, we should not miss any movie by Steven Spielberg...

when mountains aren't that exciting anymore

Must see this year’s going to be EPIC! at the end of May (of course in US alone is last february) James Cameroon (known best for Avatar) got his hands dirty caving in Esa’ala Cave in Papua New Guinea. Based on the true story of a near death experience by Andrew Wight an Australian caver. Though his story isn’t about Esa’ala Cave, Andrew was the main inspiration along with...

Dwelling with the best beast

Students’ nightmare has become the main priority now. For me, history homework of ancient world civilization is the best homework so far. Beside the sociology brochure. That went bad but thanks to the trusty Snapy, it take jobs down like there’s no mercy. Halla! So, call me nerds but I’m lovin it. Not just that, I’m taking extra course on chemistry, math and physic. whaat?...

Don’t have to worry about any adult lyrics, all the beeping and censoring. Now your baby (maybe little bro, cousin, a friend’s kid) can enjoy rock legends before they can even say rock and fall asleep in the wonderful world of soothing rocking lullaby

December post

Been such a long time since I posted the last one. 2 months almost 3. Anyway, is not that I quit writing is just I’m all out of ideas. Suck when that happened but, less about me. It’s holiday season and I do wish greetings to all who celebrates it! My recommendation is spending some time with old friends. Give them a call and go meet them somewhere and catch up. Nostalgia is a great...

This you got to see

So, I watched this Japanese movie last week and loved it. It’s so different yet not in a weird, quirky way. The point of this movie is, for me, somewhere between scary and good. When Mr. Sasaki (the main character’s *Daigo* bos) said “Everyday we eat corpse. Dead creature. Even this, this squid is a corpse” it hit me, oh yeah, we eat cow’s corpse, chicken’s...

her : my dad's going to Africa
me : what for?
her : work. of course
me : ooh. I never saw your dad on tv. I thought he was the director 
her : I thought so too
 my friend's dad is in Africa right now for a local tv report about world cup. strange enough I never saw him before and he's been working for several years. Yet now he's in Africa and he's airing every night. what's odd is he's the director not the reporter. get the picture?

Men like to go for walks on the beach.

butthetruthis: But the truth is… It’s because they’re too cheap to pay for dinner and a movie. (Guest post by Naomi) Photo by: http://www.flickr.com/photos/amanky/2072647849/ It’s only cool when men actually does that. Sometimes if we live 1.000 miles from the beach and your man doesn’t own a car (even if he had one, he still have to pay for gas), he ask you to go for a...

Watch it yesterday night and the moment it reaches it’s climax, I just want to put it here. Such a realistic story based on the novel of Andre Dubus III with the same tittle. The plot is basically about a house that is being confiscated because the...
