Missed My Girls

Frankly, I'm the type of girl who had to tried out so hard to make friends with other girls. For me it's easier to befriended with boys rather than girls. This is true, because I've tried several times and failed. Since elementary, if I have girl bff, we would ended up fighting or eventually hating each other.

In high school I've told myself to make a distance between me and the girls. No, I'm not gonna tell you that I eventually have so many girl bff. Don't think that because it's hard for me to make a good relationship with girl bff, I have many boy bff. Actually, my bff is not that much, you can count it with your hand fingers.

But in my class, XII-IPA, the girls are nice. Okay, I had some problems with them, as usual. I'm not even in their group. However, girls are minority, only 9 girls in class, so we have to get along. All these past three years, there's so many things we've been through. I can't call them bff but they're not just friends. With them I spent most of my times.

Now that I've graduated, I never know how much I missed them all. We've been contacting each other via facebook, twitter, but we still miss each other.

it's me in the center and in the red shirt :D
Love y'all :*

Quotes by me

If I have to choose whether I have to hurt someone or someone hurt me, I'll choose the second one, because  forgiving other people is easy, the hardest thing is forgiving yourself for hurting somebody else.

Movie Review -- A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)


Director: Brad Siberling
Writers: Robert Gordon (screenplay), Daniel Handler (books)
Casts: Jim Carrey, Jude Law, Meryl Streep, Emily Browning, Liam Aiken

I watched this as a child eight years ago. That is when I fell in love for Jim Carrey, Daniel Handler, and of course Lemony Snicket. Back then I didn't quite understand what's going on in the movie. So I watched it again, and again, and again. Yesterday I finished reading the whole 13 books and once more I watched the movie. Now I get it.

The story is commonly about three young children. The oldest is Violet Baudelaire (Emily Browning), fourteen years-old, Klaus Baudelaire (Liam Aiken), twelve years-old, and Sunny Baudelaire (Kara and Shelby Hoffman), still an infant. Violet loves to invent things, Klaus loves to read books and do research, while Sunny haS interest in biting because she has four sharp teeth.

The story begins when Mr. Poe, a banker and their parents' friend, told them that their house was perished in fire that killed both of their parents, left them as orphans with fortune. So the sent away to their, so told, closest relative, Count Olaf (Jim Carrey). It turns out that Count Olaf only wanted to steal their fortune. The bad luck three orphans trying to escape from the villain's plan, while Count Olaf seems to follow them everywhere they go.

When I watched this as a child, the movie is a bit scary for me because it is rather dark and I am a bit confused with the way Lemony Snicket (Jude Law), the narrator, the writer who investigate about the Baudelaires, tells the story.

But then things go crystal clear when I finished all 13 books of The Baudelaires Children. It is kind of dark. It contains mystery, a bit of gothic fiction, and lots of absurdist fiction in it. I'm nearly 20 now but I still love the books.

Now we discussed the movie. It is awesome with a big A! Jim Carrey totally rocks it! He was born to play Count Olaf. I'm really thankful to whatever revelation that Brad Siberling got so he casts Jim Carrey. And the other casts, it's just perfect. I just wish Klaus wear thick glasses, as it described in the books. But overall, it's still attached to the book.

The plot is totally different from the book, which is adapted from the three first book: Bad Beginning, Reptile Room, and Wide Window. It seems like Brad Siberling only wanted to filmed these three books, and then, finished. I get it, because not everybody can understand the book, because it's a bit complicated to enjoy, but I do. Plus, it was 13 books. It takes 3 movies or 4 to complete, unless the book is as popular as The Lord Of The Ring, Hunger Games, Narnia, etc, it will be so hard to make real.

Even though there are so many cut scenes, and changed scenes, but you can still enjoy the movie, whether you have read the book or not. This is a 2004 movie, but I'm sure it's enjoyable up until now.

So sit back, prepare your popcorn, and watch Jim Carrey rollin' :D

Tragedy of my life #31 -- Bad Fat

So last night I ate two eggs, lots and lots of lettuce and cheese, two large pieces of beef sausage, all in one sandwich. Plus, it was 9PM. I can't help it... I'm so hungry. While eating it I felt so guilty. And then in the next morning, my abs' gone! I shocked, I workout so hard to get it, now I got to double the hardwork. Damn...

Life would be so much easier if I was... (part 1)

1) Brittany S. Pierce 'Glee'


She got nothing to worried about--or think of, if you know what i mean...

2) Stewie Griffin

Oh c'mon, he can do whatever he wanna do and don't have to go to school? Life's unfair!


Yes, yes, yes I do love Anime!

Seriously, I just fallen in love to people who made those Animax-Asia TV commercial. They didn't just make it, they fall in love with Anime too.

Yeah, I know maybe some of you will laugh. This is kid's stuff, I know, I probably should have left Anime six years ago. I'm a college student now, but damn, I still love Anime that bad. You guys probably don't get it. Seriously? It's just cartoon thing. But no, I think Anime had touched me deep inside *sob. Tried to leave it but can't. Not like Korean Wave, Japanese Wave will always be a part of me.

We believe in...
bonds that tie
Friends who never give up
Beauty, inside and out...
Missions that define character...
We believe in miracle, love, loyalty, eternity, action, adventure, magic, family, trust, courage

WE BELIEVE IN ANIME.

My favorite ad on TV!


Behold the story of LOVE.
The story of PASSION.
The story of COURAGE.
The story of HONOUR.
The story of MAGIC, FATE, ADVENTURE, AWAKENING, REBELLION, FAITH.
Expecting the IMPOSSIBLE.
Transforming ORDINARY PEOPLE into LEGENDS
Capturing THE HEARTS of MILLIONS.

Some stories need to be told ANIME-STYLE

I'm single... and happy?

"I'm single and very happy." This is the most common sentence I read in people's statuses. There are so many ways to say it, "I don't need you", "I'm glad you outta my life" etc etc. But the question is, is the writer really happy when single? What do they mean by writing it?

I believe this for a very long time and I wanted to say this. There is two reasons why they wrote it:
1) Someone had a tough break up. To show it didn't affect them. To show that they can move on. The fact is, people who wrote status like that is hanging on a thread. More likely they said that to themselves.
2) They are not happy. They have been single for a long time and they wanted to meet someone, but they still don't meet anyone, and they are frustrated.

So the simple word is: People who say that they're single and happy are not happy. They are lonely, they are just trying to make themselves believe that they are happy.

I know it, because I've been through it. Writing statuses about single and happy, but I ended up realise that I'm just cheering up myself, but I'm really sad inside. So now I'm single, and happy, but I didn't write it on my status, because I don't need people to know that, when my own heart know it, it's enough. :)

I Spotted Andrew Garfield!

I love Andrew Garfield. Mungkin sekarang udah mainstream banget, karena dia kepilih jadi pemeran utama  The Amazing Spiderman yang baru. Orang-orang bilang mukanya ganteng jadi akhirnya banyak yang suka. Faktanya, gue udah suka sama Andrew jauh sebelum booming dia yang sekarang.

Pertama kali gue tau Andrew Garfield itu pas dia main di Never Let Me Go (2010). Disini dia maen sebagai anak yatim, dimana dia harus nyumbangin organ tubuhnya buat orang sakit. Ceritanya agak dystopian gitu deh. Disini Andrew kurus banget, mukanya bloon, cupu abis pokoknya. Tapi aktingnya keren banget, meski nggak ada ganteng gantengnya.

Dia muncul lagi di Social Network (2010). Disini dia tampil lebih keren, jadi Eduardo Saverin, Co-Foundernya Facebook. Filmnya belibet dan nggak terlalu ngerti jalannya, juga abu-abu gitu si Mark Zuckerberg. Anyway... Dia udah keren di film ini. Ya iyalah anak Harvard getoh. Beda banget di film sebelomnya.

Nah yang terakhir... Amazing Spiderman. Disini dia main wow banget. Beda sama di film-film sebelumnya, mukanya tampil ganteng sepanjang film. Overall juga menurut gue, filmnya oke.

Gue nggak tau kenapa, Andrew Garfield punya cara nangis yang aneh banget. Mukanya kayak mengkeret gitu, terus dramatis banget. Gue tau sih emang harus mendalami karakter tapi bukannya aktor itu jaim biasanya? Mereka mau keliatan ganteng di layar kaca. Itu yang bikin gue jatuh hati sama Andrew Garfield. Dia nggak setengah-setengah. Menurut gue juga, dia nggak ganteng ganteng amat. Justru itu yang menarik dari seorang Andrew Garfield.

Meskipun Tobey Maguire nggak tergantikan sebagai Spiderman (hidup Tobey!), tapi Andrew Garfield udah mengambil tempat tertentu di hati gue.

New Life, New Memories

Awalnya keterima di ITB itu kayak sesuatu yang absurd. Begitu pengumuman, nggak bisa tidur semaleman. Kata ITB masih kebayang-bayang dikepala. Jujur banget, gue bukan orang yang pinter banget, juga bukan orang yang bodoh bodoh amat. Jadi waktu dikasi tau keterima lewat jalur undangan, langsung shock. Kayak, 'seriusan ih, beneran lo?'. Waktu pendaftaran, jujur gue nge-klik ITB asal-asalan. Temen gue bilang kalo sekolah gue, SMA swasta yang baru berdiri empat taun, alumninya baru satu angkatan, mustahil banget keterima jalur undangan. Tapi, yah itu yang terjadi sama gue. Percaya nggak percaya.

Seumur hidup gue selalu sekolah di swasta, nggak pernah di negri. Jadi rada gugup juga. Langsung panik ngeliat banyak orang waktu daftar ulang. Sekelasku paling banter 21 orang. satu angkatan 40 orang. Ini 300 orang lebih satu fakultas, satu angkatan 3400an.

Gue langsung mikir nggak bisa inget nama-nama mereka. Orang-orang yang gue temuin, tersenyum ramah sambil ngulurin tangan dan nyebutin nama mereka. That's it. Habis itu angin kayak nerbangin kata-kata mereka. Nggak sampe beberapa detik gue udah lupa lagi nama mereka. Itulah salah satu kedodolan gue. Gue super susah inget nama orang, kecuali orang yang bener-bener menarik perhatian gue, itu juga nggak banyak.

Tapi hal yang gue dapet banget adalah rasa persaudaraan yang kuat. Gue minoritas, tapi mereka yang mayoritas ramah banget sama gue. Kenalan sama banyak orang, meski cuma ketemu sekadar waktu antri doang. Nama-nama berkelibatan. Tapi overall, mereka orangnya baik-baik. Nggak terlalu cuek, nggak terlalu kepo. Gue ngerasa, mereka juga nyadar kalo di kampus ini, connection itu penting banget. Nggak bisa nyalahin mereka juga.

Jadi yah, begini lah, hidup gue baru dimulai :)

Hi!

General facts about me: I'm almost nineteen, I often misjudged things, and I'm super klutz. I tried to deny that my teenage life almost over, and yeah, it's still gonna end. Twenties are coming, embrace yourself... I love to talk about myself, and I believe in soulmate-concept. Laugh all you like, I'll be the last one laughing.
