OMGucci, I almost forgot today's time for music monday!! This song is one of my all time favourites, its kinda old though..
Kau Mewarnai Duniaku. Dengan caramu Yang Bersahaja. Kau Menghiasi Mimpiku. Dengan Parasmu Menggoda Rasa. Di Mataku Kaulah Juwita. Kaulah Wanita Yang Mempesona. Di S'gala Sisi Dalam Hidupku. Kau Begitu Sempurna ---- Itu Adanya. Ku Menginginkanmu. Setulus Hati. Tanpa Ada Ragu. Kau membutakan mata dan fikiran. Tuk Trus Mengejarmu Hingga Kau Mau ---- Kuingin Dapat Memelukmu. Jadikanlah Aku Yang Begitu. Berarti Selalu Di Dalam Hatimu. Bawa Aku Melangkah Jauh Bersamamu ---- Dan Kau Tersipu Malu Katakan Mau. Sambut Cintaku. Aku Di Sini Untukmu. Katakan Saja Bila Kau Mau

Eat Pray Love : Sit, Stare and Yawn..
"u dont need a man, Liz u need a champion.." Felipe (Javier Bardem)
I've heard a lot about this movie. I think Eat Pray Love is based on a book that was like the best seller in the New York Times for like 5 billion months or something. It's about Liz Gilbert, a woman who has just gone through a divorce with her husband and tries to overcome her depression by taking a solo soul searching journey through Italy, Bali and India to eat, pray and love.
I love what Julia Roberts has been doing lately, she has finally gotten to that stage of her career where people aren't recognizing her as America's sweetheart anymore and has gone on to perform in lesser known, more important films. If you haven't seen Duplicity, you should check it out because she was amazing in that and she was one heck of a force in Eat Pray Love.
Julia carries this movie. After the 15 minute mark, we hop from country to country in series of montages with Julia and the only reason why all this doesn't seem like a travel show is because we have Julia Robert's character that anchors us down with her character study. We feel the pain of her past, her hopeless attempt to resolve that pain by going on this journey but are still treated to her lighthearted charm.
For 1 hour 30 minutes, we go from place to place with Julia Roberts trying different food, wearing different clothes, touching exotic animals, trying spiritual stuff and amidst all that, Ryan Murphy failed to connect all these plot elements with the overall story of Eat Pray Love. I get why lots of the fans of the book disliked this movie because there was ultimately no soul to the film. Sure, it did have it's moments of charm but Eat Pray Love failed to find a balance between vacation shots and actual story development.
That being said, if anything else, Eat Pray Love is one of the most gorgeous non-CGI movies I have seen this year. The cinematographer is one heck of a guy. The empty travel show shots that take up 70% of the movie are absolutely gorgeous. It's full of colour & vibrant energy, that is pleasing to the eyes but like I said before, pretty pictures don't make a good movie.
You know, I think that Eat Pray Love would work much better as a TV series. Yeah. Make a miniseries of Julia Roberts doing all that she's doing in the film, but at least on television you have the luxury of time to accommodate all the beautiful sweeping shots of her travels and still maintain the integrity of the story peppered through the episodes.
Ultimately, Eat Pray Love is just an average movie when it could have been a true Oscar contender. If wnything, the film is only going to make an appearance in the cinematography category.
But above all, I really do must say.. The cutie James Franco is a total eye-vitamin in this movie *0*

driving lessons, shoe sales and random imbicile moments
trus pulang kerumah setengah sadar dipagi2 buta (red: jam 8 pagi) gapake mandi hohoho.. whaat? I was in a rush :p
then I went out to register for driving lessons, which was also pretty random.. the mas2 receptionist was fair retarded.. when i gave him a photocopy of my id, he insisted on photocopying it himself. i think he wanted to make sure my id wasnt fake cos it was laminated twice, the picture was blurry and the fact that my birthplace was unfamiliar hahaha..
then went to the cinemas to watch eat pray love where we were attacked by a swarm of ababils.. the mall was like jammed with these creatures, i was wondering why.. gatau eh gataunyaa... mau ada vierra gitu katanya.. pantesan aja mallnya penuh kloningan widi.. hahaha
eat pray love was kinda boring, ceritanya biasa gampang ditebak... (which imma tell u more on my next post bout the movie review)
pretty obvious that my highlight of the day wasn't the movie I watched, it was what happened after the movies..
hey hey...
i just got two new pairs of CUTE sandals btw.. at a very very cheap price infact.. yaay yaay!!
heck yes! that's cos i got it from a *drumroll please* SALE!!
so, yawe (my sidekick :p) n i was like shoved in a sea of sandals (and boxes of sandals) with a swarm of labile ruthless ladies scavanging for sandals *again with the over-exaggeration* sorry.. cant help it :p... it was like a totally new experience for me. gw ga pernah yg namanya ikut2an rebutan di sale. dulu gw mikir, mending gausah beli deh daripada buang2 energi desel2an rebutan barang sale sama ibu2.. hahaha.. ternyata eh ternyata.. going on a sale spree is like being sucked into a blackhole, once u get in u can never get out.. pertama kali masuk trus liat barang bagus, qt bakalan penasaran buat terus2an nyari nyari lagi yg lain, walopun qt harus cakar2an rebutan sama ibu2 bau keringet :p
oh n i almost forgot to mention, i spent like almost an hour or so frustrated looking for 36 size sandal for my aunt.. it was always like, when i see something good, there's no stock that size.. i really wonder how u people with 36 size feet go shoe-shopping without getting frustrated... haha..
ok.. from now on im gonna start going on sale sprees more often..
im gonna make that my priority to do list hahahha
so now i can proudly declare myself as... SALE-HOLIC!! hell yeah!! lololol
buuut overall, had a pretty good but imbicile day today

kalo baca: unyuuu unyuuuu
ps: we went home with soaked helmets cos it rained and.. somehow.. we chose to park on the outdoor parking lot... how retarded.. idiots..
omg, i need panadol.. signing off... zzzzzz

love ballads, synchronized dancing, weird outfits, eyeliners, guys singing about a girl that they all apparently share = korean boyband.
Posted on | Thursday, October 14, 2010 | No Comments
I'm not really a big fan of korean boy bands, I mean don't get me wrong.. I'm not a hypocrite, I know that most of them are naturally good looking. but I don't really dig their music (maybe cos I don't understand a single word they're sayin) and stage acts, like with all the lipsync and hopping and jumping around the stage. Well frankly I think they're just strictly overrated, what with all the massive amount of die-hard fans that they have.
Have I mentioned about their songs? Well, they tend to use english phrases that doesn't make sense in their song lyrics. Like the last song I heard of this boyband called shiNee ( at first I thot it was a girl's group, I mean the name is SHINEE for goodness sake!! how gay-er can that get?)
I forgot the title of the song, but i remember one of lyrics involve phrases like "her whisper is the lucifer" and repetitive "loverholic robotronic".. ooowkay.. do those lyrics even have a meaning?

just so you know
I was on my way to campus when I got a text from my friend saying that one of our friends just won an exchange program to the US. I was excited and proud at the same time. But what's more exciting is what he shared, and that's what I'm sharing here.
How many times in life do we bump into situations similar to the two above? We couldn't help it. I couldn't help it, I compare at times. Not on all subject though. The hypothesis is everyone must have at least one subject that's on top of his comparison list. For one, it might be shoes (and all the ladies raise your shoesss.. =p). You just can't help it when somebody has got better, shinier, more expensive brand than yours. You feel crappy when someone close to you get better grades than you do. For another it might be position in a job, bags, lenses (rookie photographer usually =p), and what not.
"Comparison is the death of happiness" - Doni Prilliandi.
What about benchmarking you ask. Aren't we suppose to have something to see our progress?
There's a line we have to draw here, between comparing and benchmarking. The latter focuses on the process (how can we make things better) while the former focuses on the results (grades, possession, etc). When we focus on results, nothing will make us satisfied.
Before we know it, those simple stuff somehow become majorly responsible for our happiness. Here's what to do .... admit it. When we admit, there's a releasing power that set us free from envy and the corresponding inferiority. Also, one thing we forget is where we were before. You might not have a car before, now you own a Honda! Screw the rest with Ferraris. You used to wear Charles and Keith, now you got a Kate Spade! Screw the rest with Louboutin.
"I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be." - Groucho Marx

Resident Evil: Afterlife
Posted on | Wednesday, October 6, 2010 | No Comments
I've just watched resident evil afterlife recently. Yes, I know.. a little late, kemana aje loo?..
but hey, at least i had the chance to watch it in the cinemas. Too bad, the 3D version wasn't shown anymore.
Now, let me just get this out of the way: Resident Evil: Afterlife is a silly, silly movie. It's not nearly the horror-laden gore-fest that the first Resident Evil movie was, it's not the 'band of survivors zombie flick' that the second movie became, and it's not calculated and smart like the third movie.
And I'm not going to even try to mention the Resident Evil games, which are magnificent and genuinely terrifying (at least some of the better incarnations, like Resident Evil: 4). The simple fact is, the film franchise's heroine Alice is not in ANY of the videogames.
Resident Evil: Afterlife really just becomes a zombie-inspired Charlie's Angels flick, with action scene followed by action scenes, completely implausible situations, the ability to walk away from helicopters crashing into mountains and and find perfect make up when there's not a Wal-Mart to be found.
No matter what the circumstances, from being the last standing survivor in a apocalyptic world, to being drenched in sewage and blood, the leading ladies of Resident Evil: Afterlife will never look anything but slightly unruffled. Even Ali Larter's 'Claire', who begins the movie covered in dust and acting like a wild woman in arid Alaska, soon cleans herself off and has found mascara, blush, eye shadow and the perfect shade of lipstick, ready to stand beside Milla Jovovich and compete for the 'best pose while dripping wet in slow motion' award.
The script itself? Hokey and full of plot-holes the size of Antartica, following a formulaic-brand of shock-and-awe that leaves very little surprises. Two lead actors and a bit player jump into the water to swim to an armory. Guess which won't come back? Two lead characters and a bit player stand at the edge of a hole. Guess who is going to be sliced in half by the boss character who just showed up for no reason?
It kind of goes like that for the entire movie. Time for a fight scene! Time for Alice to look bad ass! Wait, has someone been mauled by a zombie in the last five minutes? Fixed it! Wait, we need some slow motion fight scenes with a completely implausible exit! Done! Let's have a guy keep a plane from sliding off a building with only his brute strength! He can do it! Yes he can!
The point is, if you're looking for a zombie movie? Rent Zombieland or Shaun of the Dead. Go see Resident Evil if you want to see hot chicks kicking ass, looking fantastic while they're doing it. Go see Resident Evil if you want to see awesome fight scenes, and get your adrenaline pumped. Resident Evil: Afterlife is worth watching if you can suspend your disbelief, go with the flow, and tell yourself that it's all just pretty movie-making.
