Review spreee

Wazzap.

Gladly inform you that I am writing this post while lying in front of tv room in my house. Marvelous marvelous. Just some hours ago I came back from Rajawali Cinema; the only one movie theater in the town (which on its very roll since last year) and somehow I just want to write things here again. Recalling that my last time sharing such movie/music reviews are years ago.

Movies

Well these are last 10 movies I saw recently (latest one first and going older in order):
Edge of Tomorrow
Maleficent
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Briefgeheim
Godzilla
Borrower Arriety
The Amytiville Horror
The Spectacular Now
The Blind Side
Miracle in Cell No. 7

Wow just realized that I watched those 5 first movies in a movie theater (except that briefgeheim, on dutch embassy hahaha). I wont be able to tell y'all my thoughts about those 10 titles up there, this post will be a VERY long one and I swear you couldnt bear me. There are a lot of good reviews out there in other blog or website so I am just gonna babbling about how: 1.) Emily Blunt and Tom Cruise are so awesomely charming in Edge of Tomorrow. Cruise just like aging backwards since last time I saw him in Knight and Day (I wont count Oblivion bcs it somehow disappoint me) and Blunt is whoaaa, werk it gurl, she is in a very nice shape and very different from last role on Looper which ruin her image in my eyes, uhm, I cant forget that one particular scene where she 'call for help' by pushing that frog toy; 2.) Have not find who Sam Riley (Deaval) could resemblance on Maleficent. I was confused by the actor play Stefan character which really remind me of someone (I was thinking he really looked like Tennant pfft) but it turned out he is Shartlo Copley, crazy badass mechanic on all time fav The A-Team movie; 3.) Anyone have other X-Men installation movie, I need to recall so many things; 4.) I never thought this Godzilla could bring my tears out, well it maybe bcs a lot of burden and occasions happened that day, but hell yeah Godzilla is the hero! If only they change the alien shape/form, those couple of breeding alien just strange, even for me who said to be an alien-lover by a lot of people; 5.) Spectacular Now maybe just another coming of age movie but Sutter-Aimee story is not so usual with Miles and Shailene being utterly good delivered their acting. No wonder Shai cant bring herself at fighting scene between Tris and Peter on Divergent. On other side, Shai will meet her 'brother' Ansel on TFIOS ohyeah!

Music

Well this is not really thoughts about a song/an album, I will talk about this 'game' I have with Chita-Vatya-Luksi. On every week we post 3-5 songs on our dropbox folder based on a theme that been decided. We only played this routine for 2 weeks and so far so good hahaha (the list of songs can be seen on the side). I really love the fact that Chita post Lie to Me soundtrack there (how I miss dr.Cal Lightman and his sass-jerky attitude). Oh and anyway, I lately overdosed by EXO-M newest album. Ever since the issue about Kris broke out, it drive me to listen more to EXO-M songs instead. Overdose album only contain five songs but three of them always been on repeat on my phone music player: Overdose, Thunder, and Love Love Love.

Thats quite a rumble for what I watch and listen lately. How about my days? Well, still the same, you won't find it interesting anyway. Still unemployed (sorry but I just need to remind myself everytime I write here *sigh), sobbing over The Red Viper ending, and trying to livin' the life as always!

XOXO

Another monday in a week

Not even half a day and it is raining outside. My monday is likely the same like others in these past few months (read: unemployed) but my mind unconsciously keep a list of things which plan to make my days ahead quite different. Last weekend is a very hectic one, not that hectic with all important-ness of a businessman but indeed a chaos. Happy chaos. I met at least 3 person which I feel like had not seen them in ages (one of them literally disappears in my time continuum for five years straight). So here goes a mess report of what my weekends looked like:

Saturday: Bogor- Tokyo - Mecca - Netherland

The pain of glory for visiting foreign cultures only on Jakarta region surprisingly healed fast. I mean, usually your legs gave up and body ache struck everywhere after walking all day long but it didnt happen. There were Ennichisai Fetival 2014 at Little Tokyo (Blok M) and Movie-Day at Erasmus Huis on this saturday. Driven by thirst of adventure with free admission, Della and I were casually depart from Bogor at 9.00 AM. None of us are a big fan of Japanese wave but surely we had this great time strolling a round corridors in front of Blok M Square which dazzled into an exciting path with food and store stalls in each sideline. There are a lot of youngsters did a cosplay from hype anime/manga (which we suck at). Two medium stage filled with traditional and contemporary performances from this Rising Sun country always have crowds in the front and there was also street parade of mikoshi with children playing traditional instrument. Eventhough Della and I felt like a bit lost in translation but we had a lot of joy for sure. Our trip continued to Erasmus Huis, dutch culture center in Netherland Embassy (Kuningan). Earlier on thursday I found out that there would be a movie called 'Briefgeheim' show there, and after watch the movie inside Erasmus theater (arrived late for app. 10-15mins so we joined the show in the dark) we figured out that a lot of expat families came with children age of 7-11. No wonder the movie had this feel of spy kids with less tech and simpler plot. We took a note of several free events for next months and promised to go back. Bogor was still lively (thanks to satnite traffic in almost every spot) at 8.00 PM when we arrived at commuter station. Oh, if you wonder why I write Mecca above, Blok M Square have this Kaba miniature with great mosque architecture on their rooftop.

    

Sunday: Everyday Girls Day Moment

No, I didnt go to Girl's Day concert or fanmeet whatever (but I am smooth at Expectation karaoke). Depok became a full of reunion feel yesterday after I met Farida Nuzulia, my high school friend whom I never met for these 5 years. Dede Nisa (my SHS friend too) and me just struck in awe when we know Farida already stayed in Depok for a year in her sister house which surprisingly very near of Nisa's rented house. She admitted feel like cut out from high school peers stories from the moment we graduated last 2009, so we filled our precious three hours meet to catch up of what happen within our friend circles (you know, graduate-marriage-work stuffs lol). I cant join them for more chit-chat since I already had appointment to meet my college friends in Depok too, but we promised to hang out together often. When I finally meet seven other girls at Margonda, they already finished their lunch so we raid up Gramedia and had book shopping spree (exclude me and Ima). Eight of us then spent our afteernoon together by doing activities like other normal girls would do when they meet up: gossiping in a cafe. It sound glamorous but please view it in a modest way hahaha, we basically laugh at each other life at a moderate food stall in roadside. So yes, last sunday definitely girl's day!

Hope another weekend will be amazing as well. Like I've said to someone I (used to) know this week: Never thought you are all alone in this life.

Cheers!

I ain't the poorest people in the world

Like a week ago, I found these 3 pieces of my diary books. As reading it slowly and absorbed at whatever I ever wrote there (also realizing how I was such a dreadful human being for 10-5 years in the past); I feel like even for now, in this brand new 2014, I still havent change significantly, meaning my life still so-so with no huge impact for others. Please I dont have any good impact for myself either. Once there was old me wrote on one end of my diary page: Do every human always think that they are the poorest people in the world? Believe me, it is hard to think you are not, when you surrounded by amazing and incredible human being which achieve what you did not even dare to dream. I learn how to be grateful once in a while, and compel my mind to be positive as possible but alas, it is indeed hard. Not to mention, when you walk into the 'beauty' of being 20-ish, everything around revolves messily and you tend to lose sanity. It doubled or tripled mess for a people like me who ignorant enough to never making such things like life roadmap, life target/resolution, or even just listing off dreams (I actualIy did it once or twice but thats it, I dont even know why am I stopping). If you ask me now, "what do you really want then?" ...well, I dont have any good answers. This bugs me for a while (more like half a year actually) until today I blocked all my laziness to share this uber great reading.

Maybe I ever stumbled upon that kind of article several time but maybe again I wasnt in my clear state of mind so it is regrettably wasted. This time though, maybe I just need to be triggered a bit to realize that having 'me, the poorest human being' attitude is not right, and pathetic. Yes, I am not the best in any aspect yet achieve nothing impactful but still.. you have to know your life mean something. Let me sum up a bit some points of my favorite manifestos from article above:

1. Prestige is like a powerful magnet that warps even your beliefs about what you enjoy. It causes you to work not on what you like, but what you’d like to like.

2. One of the interesting things about success is that we think we know what it means. A lot of the time our ideas about what it would mean to live successfully are not our own.

3. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.

4. This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often.

God, let this feel will continuously linger from now on so everytime I feel like a piece of crap I know that life is more than that. I believe if we struggle enough, life will embrace us beautifully (its hard to write motivational things like that when I actually feel worse hahaha *plain laugh* God dont let me be that kind of person who only say things but cant do). Oh and off course, I have to share this one from my favorite quote of a seems-mediocre-at first-but-turned out-really-heartmoving-in the end movie with brilliant messages ever, Remember Me (2010). 

Whatever you do in life will be insignificant, but it's very important that you do it. Because nobody else will. Our fingerprints don't fade from the lives we've touched.

Stay positive as you can,

-Icha
