Eat Pray n Love

Can't wait to watch it! Finally, me, friends, mom, n my mom's friends went to 21 on Saturday night. Others are having date with their couples, while we, girls only, know exactly how to spend Saturday night together. Eat Pray n Love brings sort of euphoria for most of us... Christine Hakim, Bali things.. Actually it’s not the first time Hollywood taking location in Indonesia. Instead many films take picture in Indonesia, though I don't know for sure it was or it was not. Do you remember Anacondas the Hunt for The Blood Orchid? Not the one with Jennifer Lopez's cast I guess. How about the Island of Dr Moreau? It was said that the laboratory located in one of remote islands around Indonesia.

Well, back to Eat Pray n Love. Julia Robert is an astonishing actress. But at that movie, she rarely appears in make up, so her wrinkle seems quite obvious. Unfortunately, James Franco, the Peter Parker's best friend, cannot compete with her acting, I think. Javier Bardem, who finally won Julia Robert's love are far from my imagination. I look forward that Felipe's character will be played by Antonio Banderas or George Cloney, hehehe.. It sound cliché, but hard to admit there is quite a few movie that could successfully bring alive the stories like it told in novel.

Bali is the last destination for Liz. I'm quite proud the movie shows the beauty of Bali, I hope there will be more and more films taking place in Indonesia, not only in Bali. If only Hollywood know how rich and beautiful this country. One thing, Christine Hakim is rockin'. She could reveal the truly acting quality of Indonesian actresses.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

In the late 66, Michael Douglas still looks charming. Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan could mere counterbalance his acting. There is Susan Sarandon also as a cameo. I thought it would full of conspiracy and complexity, but I found it was merely a family drama that just happened in 2008's crisis. Though, it told a lot about moral hazard and ruthless games in capital market. Quite boring, but I appreciate Shia's attempt playing serious role. What I like most is Carey hair style; I think pixie crop hair will be trend in 2011. Fresh and light!

Here are some interesting quotes I found:

1. If there's one thing I learned in prison it's that money is not the prime commodity in our lives... time is.
2. The mother of all evil is speculation.
3. Stop telling lies about me and I'll stop telling the truth about you.
4. Money is a bitch that never sleeps!
5. Every thief has an excuse

SBY vs Mr. Sebastian Pinera

Yesterday, all people around the globe turn sentimental watching live rescue of 33 miners in Chile that had been trapped 700m underground for 69 days. One by one, trapped miners was lifted by capsule to the surface. What a dramatic and relieved moments. And there was Mr. Sebastian Pinera, the President of Chile who was standing there, witnessing every second of rescuing, till the last victim that las for more than 22 hours. He didn't hesitate to hug every trapped miner though they had not take bath for more than 2 months!

The President of Chile had promised to do the best to rescue the trapped miners. His seriousness not only had raised spirit of trapped miners and their family, but also the whole nation. The success of this mission has unite Chile and crown Mr. Sebastian Pinera as a national hero.

Many local news channels has compared SBY's act with Mr. Sebastian Pinera. Ten days after the Wasior flood tragedy that had taken away more than 132 people, SBY came to visit. Is it too late or not? Before that, SBY had plenty time including watching friendship soccer match between Indonesia with Paraguay. Instead, he took a picture with the team. Is Wasior tragedy not a matter for him so that he choosed to watch the game instead of focusing in giving first aid for Wasior victims and survivals. In fact, he stated that it was national disaster, nothing related to HPH misuse or illegal logging. OMG! Is that so simple??

To welcome SBY arrival, local gov't got busy to prepare the road and everything related to President’s safety. How come?? Why he didn't go there secretly to diminish any unnecessary protocol, giving courage and sympathy to people there?? Since SBY is concern about political image, how come he missed about it??

Let's Join Snobber!

We have to be proud that batik was chosen as one of world heritage and October 2 was pronounced to be Batik's Day. This year October 2 fell at Saturday, but I did wear batik on the previous Friday. One of my favorite batik is Batik Snob. And I was lucky to have one of its collections. Batik Snob is not like other batik. Like its motto CHIC, COLORFUL & COMFORTABLE, this batik brings confident to all Indonesian women. It has nice cut, a brilliant color combination and an unusual pattern. Every modern woman will love it. But it is difficult to have it, believe me! Not because it is unaffordable, it just needs extra effort.

To have its collections, we have to be its friends on facebook first. It sells its collection only on facebook. Its collection is one of a kind, and every piece is made just one. You will feel so special. There are bolero, cocktail dress, kimono blouse, etc. It suits for anyone and any occasion. Batik Snob releases its collections twice a week, usually @ 12 pm, and only around 10 to 15 pieces a day. Yet, lately it uploads at afternoon as well to facilitate those in different time zone. At that time, it is difficult to open its page, because everyone is competing to 'book' the desired one. And unluckily, I never get the first place to book. But fortunately, I won one of itscompetitions! Yippiie...

I'm single, 27 n happy

What's crossing in your mind when someone told you that he/she is single? Last time when I said on my facebook that I was single, many friends commented. They asked me whether i had broken up with my boy friend. Some of them cheer me up. Is it so pathetic to be single when you are 27 years old? For a woman, I may add. I am very happy with what I have reached so far. Yet, I'm not upset. In fact, I'm overwhelmed with their attention.

Single, in my opinion, is a status that defines you are not married. Wether you are with somebody or not, it's a diffeerent subject. So proudly I confirm that I'm 27, single n happy.

Let's sing together

Aku baik-baik saja

Menikmati hidup yang aku punya

Hidupku sangat sempurna

I'm single and very happy

Jakarta Street's Madness

First time going to Salemba by train, yippiee... Jakarta's traffic make me sick, thus I look for another mode. The nearest stasion from my place is St. Tanjung Barat. It takes less than 5 minutes by angkot, but the biggest problem is crossing the road. There isn't any pedestrian bridge nearby. And all car and motocycle are at high speed from Ps. Minggu's direction. It requires big guts to cross over, let alone if you are alone. It needs more that 15 minutes to wait and risk to be hit by car or motocycle. I would think twice if wanna go by train again. Dear gov't, if you wanna us to utilize public transportation , please consider the supporting facilities also. We wanna safety, we don't wanna risk our life.
