The Motorcycles Diaries

Hmmm.. for someone yang ga baca koran, gw perlu nonton untuk tau about what's going on in the world, fiction or fact. And by the way, I don't know Che Guevara was so carmingly puuuuurfect. And…. Gael Garcia giytuh lohhhhh….

Ya ya, Motorcycles Diaries tuh film yang bikin gw…. *why didn't I wanna know about this person before….* After all he started the Cuban revolutionary, even a role model for Nelson Mandela. And his face is practically all over the world of design grafis and distro. The thing is, I thought all revolutionary is from someone that actually feel and been through poverty and great lost… and this guy.. a medical student soon to be a doctor, with a good career waiting for him but he choose playing Robin Hood.

This movie is all about that quote... it's not the result, it's the journey. And this journey changed a man, and soon a country, at the end the world. As a start, both, Ernesto Guevara (23) and Alberto Granado (29), were ambitious and hopeful of the journey, they only pictured even if they're broke and the motorcycle fell into pieces it gonna be fun, like all those stories people only read in books, with the cherry on top.. celebrate Albertos 30th birthday as the journeys end. Selama perjalanan, Ernesto & Alberto, all they see exactly is their race (latino) as naked as can be. So much hurt, lost, and ignorance. Banyak samanya sih ama negara kita tercinta ini. A great civilization actually vanished coz another one shows up, and claimed their the one whose right. At the end, both became two different individual, each with different perspective and different goals. And change Ernesto to Che Guevara.

Pokoknya film ini MUST SEE, is possible kalo yang bikin film berharap maybe.. it would make real changes.. dan kaya kata Che di film ini bilang... revolusi itu harus kreatif, ga niru..ga pernah dilakukan sebelumnya.

*****Film based on true story sekarang, sangat memuaskan.. effort untuk jadi kata TRUE itu berasa banget.

talk show

Hmmm.. a historical day.. for tv, today..
Pertama, ada Tora Sudiro di Ruming TV7, terus ada Christian Bautista di Ceriwis.. yowiss. Yaeh yeah I know pretty phatethic nganggr life ya… sorry but I just love interviews. I believe that interview actually brings out the real people, biasanya jadi basic judgement. Yea I jugde.. guilty pleasure gitu deh…
Tapi kan ga selalu bad judgment.. misalnya kan lame banget kan suka ama Christian Bautista... menye menye gitu lagunya (biarin gue suka). But, waktu itu nonton getar cinta ama Nirina yg jadi host, it’s a pretty good interview... unlike Delon yg TP, Ian justru act pretty natural and sincere.
Lain lagi ama Jamie Cullum, I love his records.. sing a lot from the heart. But one interview I see... he’s just so bitter and all.. I know all about it. I didn’t actually throw the records to the dumps.. I just put it away for a while.
And little miss I’m so punk I cant even begin to believe you, I don’t care coz everybody hate to love n love to hate me Avril Lavigne. (let see how succesfull your concert will be here).
Ada sutradara Indonesia yg I actually worship before I see him being interviewed. Rudi Soejarwo... God I hate that man. He was always so cocky, sok ganteng, sok muda berbakat, sok banyak ide... when he’s just a Stand by Me copycat.

Another good interview is, Gwyneth Paltrow di Oprah... (ini subyektif.... I just love her). Not really, maybe I’m a little surprise she’s so goofy. But anything in Oprah is Good, semua jadi jujur dan cantik, knapa ya... well except Britney, she still look cheap n stupid.

The best maybe Mandy Moore, her songs and movies doesn’t actually worth a Grammy and an Oscar, but I just love her personality. In one interview with Asha on channel V, they’d enjoy talking so much as if they were friends playing truth or dare. The interview felt so quick, she even said, huh? It’s over. Can we doit again. Di ending-nya Asha bilang thank you, you are so real. I think that’s the best compliment you ever get.

.....

Mostly, I just think, talk, and never do.

Is this making any sense at all?

After nonton Before Sunset, Serendipity (iya lagi), baca Bridges of Madison County, n rerun of My Girl 2 kemaren di transtv, it's more clear to me that.. only a few things like that happened in real life. I think, misalnya dalam satu keluarga besar kita, paling cuma satu ato dua yang mengisi marriage with it, maybe in my family that’s already sucked by all the love of my Opa to my Oma (you just could tell, even when he was dying, he just wrap all the love around her) Other than that, it’s all about tolerance.

Seperti biasa, minggu pagi kaya gini, me, nyokap and my sister sarapan di teras depan sambil ngeliat lapangan bola yang terus-terusan diguyur ujan dari tadi malem. The three of us just sit around, and eat, and sip the hot coffemix or tea, and just talk. This thing could take till it’s time for lunch. From calm conversations to risen our tone, or even a deep silence. Anyway, this time topik yang diatas yang dibahas, sebelumnya sih bahas masalah lain yang akhirnya nyambung kesini.

I just feel that when someone actually step in to my life, as my husband, it won't be because all the zazazu (as carrie bradshaw once said). Mostly maybe it's because of security reason. Bukan ga ada feeling sama sekali. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to expect passionate love, but mostly all the marriages I know, never had. It’s just the feeling, the reasonable reasons, and the time.

I think I never fought or try anything to get love, so I don't think I deserve that as much as I wanted to. And if someday some guy walks through my door and steps in, he will get what he deserve to get. Misalnya ada cowo yang udah jatuh bangun (dangdut) di relationship, keep falling, (walk under a bus, sit by a train, sunk up at sea, crash his car, gone insane), and at the end of the day he found me, and decided to keep me, not that I’m the love of his life. But I think he deserve this relationship better than I am.

Maybe, in my most deepest denial feeling, I already did feel love, although I've never been through it. But I did get an amount of love that I actually feel that is love. Maybe I had been given that amount of love just for the memory of it. Just for the times that I needed it.

After all we could found love, happiness, and the zazazu just getting back to the feeling, the memories, the books, the movies, or the songs.
Is this making any sense at all?

what a journal it has been

I just had a trip back in time, baca diary dari tahun 2002. Pertama, cuma mau baca satu halaman aja, but I enjoy my self to much, I finished the hole book.
Back than I don't have a blog, I figured it's just my best way to describe my self. I love reading, I wanna write like those adventure books I read, although I quickly wake up to see that how boring my life is.
U know, I have a few concept and period in my diary, journal or whatever it is.
I write my first journal back when I was still in 3rd or 4th grade I think. It was so lame, mostly it's about a fight I had with my sister cause she always takes the best stuff, my day with my favorite stuffed animal Wempy, or when I was crying. Then I stopped writing.
I found the book again when I was in junior high, read it, and decided to write again, this time I was in the period of when I love movies so much. Every week I would save my money to rent laserdisc of every movie I read about in teen beat. My favorite movie was Clueless, I loved it. It was about nothing and everything, I thought.. I could easily write that. So, I start to write again. In that period the book was filled with.. So, okay I was like... u know... totally.. pretty stupid huh... bummer.. (I still laugh when I read it, amy hackerling should hire me as her writer). Then I stopped again.
Another period is when someone liked me, I can't express my feelings by talking, so I write. Although I tell my self I don't like him, the book is all about him. Till I tell my self to stop, and buy another book, and promise my self never to write about him.
With the new book, I wrote affirmation infront of the page.

This is supposed to be a turning point for me. I want to start a journal that is supposed to reveal my expression and learning about everything in my life. I will try to focused on what I really want and not doing it because what every will think of me. An impression has been a big role in my life, hoped it would be out of the question 4 me.
I will try :
- to keep my promise
- be more organized
- love my self (and take good care of it)
- stop arguing with Papa
- closer to GOD

In this book, I put the center in my feeling, dengan bahasa yang belang-belang I think I get my self more, I'm more opened, I'm more optimist, more creative in expressing what I had to deal with, but I'm still a wanderer.
I think that will always be a part of me, a wanderer that is.
That's why when i read the book today, i missed that part about me, so much that i wanna write again.
I'm still not a devoted friend of the book, I still constantly leave it, and sporadically write it. But, there are time when I opened the book and read the front page, and I get up on my feet again.

Before Sunset

With a box of cookies n cream ice cream in my hand, place two remote controls on the table, I sit and watch Before Sunset. I really really try to set this movie watching event like it needs so much concentration, otherwise... u won't get it yan...
so there I was.. Sitting straight.
I was interested at this movie cause I read about it in someone's blog (thank u), and it won an oscar. And it's a sequel (I failed to get the first one), so I thought I won't get this one if I didn't try hard.
First the set begun at a bookstore, where Jesse is making a press conference of a book he's written, all in all the press was sure that the best selling book is about his real life, his journey with Celine. Was it real? Did they meet eventually? His answer made me start enjoying the movie.
All the effort I tried to concentrate, is no longer needed.
The story is just about cacthing up something that's unfinished (which I wanted it so much to happened to me to.. I wish). The dialog is so natural just like a river of words, if they told me that the shot was just one take of the whole movie which are not true... I would've belived it. Yang paling nyata di dialog dua orang ini is keterbukaan hati. No one is offended by each, they just connect.
All in all, I truly actually totally believe in the movie... it's what I've been craving for.

Katanya sih susah cari yg pertama (Before Sunrise), but will it ruin the sequel?

u've got to tolerate

"Doesn't it scares you... you're will is not as strong as it used to be."

Okay..okay.. udah boring nih sekarang.. not having a job and everything... but I don't think I have a great ideas to sell, I just missed those regular things.

Hating Mondays, getting showers with those freezing cold water, breakfast while preparing your bags, forgetting where I put my watch, and all of those till the end of the day meeting manda to talk about nothing and everything.
I try to make another schedule actually, by being home... not that I wanted to tell everyone, then you'll know how lazy I am.
I guess I'm already bored with this schedule, I wanted something else.
Tapi kemaren kan berenti juga karena bosen, gak ngasah otak sama sekali... that's a total lie, gini kan juga bikin otak tambah tumpul yan... dasar pemalas saja kamu... hihi... iya sih... as much as I want that thing... I didn't do a single thing about it.
Ini sama persis sama waktu baru lulus masih berapi2 masuk dunia kerja tapi kok kerjaan yg ada cuma itu, ya udahlah.. set your standard low yan, lo kan cuma trisakti... okay.. but the thing is... I still wanted it... so I felt unsatisfied.. getting out, I'm fired up with ideas... but I got Lala (that what my mom said).. lala itu terbuai. Right now, kayanya balik ke toleransi lagi deh.
