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,

Leisure Alternatives for Those Who Broke and Bored (Which Make You Feel More Intellegent on the Way Home)

Have you ever feel bored on a typical weekend but had not enough money to go window shopping around mall, watching movies in cinema, or simply visiting your favorites cafe? Some months ago, uber-boredom struck yet I was so broke and somehow this idea to feel educated came. I was managed to online search nearest museum or art gallery from my current domicile, Bogor. Since then, museums, galleries, exhibitions, and their friends stole my eyes. Public museum usually priced lower so it more friendly to us :)

One time, I visited Museum Nasional in Jakarta. For you who unaware for its location, the museum located on Jl. Medan Merdeka Barat No.12 right across Monas (Monumen Nasional). It was unplanned trip as I actually want to visit other place in Jakarta but stranded there instead. It became a surprise and great memory though, because frankly it is one of the greatest museum I ever visited so far. The entrance ticket is only Rp 5.000,- for whole collection of so many Indonesian heritages. This museum divided into several sections and levels where you can find a yard filled with ancient sculpture replicas, a room of traditional appliances used in the past with each different influences of several civilizations, traditional and indigenous devices of many existing tribes from Sabang to Merauke, various diorama of Indonesian history (even pre-history), etc. Two hours was not adequate enough for me to adore every hall and corner available as the ambience back there was somehow comfortable. The museum is nicely arranged with clean and neat environment around, their collections also seen maintained which make it feels like home. Museum Nasional open every Tuesday-Friday: 08.00-16.00 and Saturday-Sunday: 08.00-17.00 while close during Monday and holidays.

I friggin love that sculpture on last photos above, its just like a time and space portal which sucked ppl inside *creep*

Another day, I was on Bandung with some friends and decided to go for Museum of Geology. Under the flag of Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry, Museum of Geology is a very worth to visit place with admission ticket for only Rp 4.000,- Located on Jl. Diponegoro No. 57 Bandung, it is nearby the heart of Bandung City and easy to be accessed with any private or public transportations. There, you can find great description about Indonesian geology aspect; including collection of many fossil replicas found in Indonesian land, geology condition and its development of several big islands in Indonesia, common disaster history and each prevention steps delivered in a very interesting way (earthquake simulation is a must-to-try), also a room full of Indonesian resources which will make us so grateful to live in such generous mother land. When I was stepping my feet there, the museum was quite crowded from local visitor yet the place still convenient to stay and ofcourse two hours there was not enough to explore. Museum of Geology open every Saturday-Thursday: 08.00-16.00 and close during Friday and holidays.

if only they have brontosaurus fossil

Two examples above only explain general recognizable museum in two big cities in Indonesia. I believe there are many other museum spot in various cities in Indonesia where you can visit and being surprised enough to realize that there is such place existed in your town. There is also my own experience where I found a hidden ‘Museum Perjuangan Bogor’ lies only in front of most crowded shopping spot in the town with entrance fee only Rp 1.000,- It seem unmaintained and desolate outside (in contrast with shopping area just across of the building) but inside, their collection of Bogor history especially during colonization era is priceless.

To be honest, I never consider museum or gallery as an escapee or stress reliever until last year. Society around us tend to choose strolling around mall or eat in fancy cafeteria or restaurant in case of boredom attack. I won’t say those are a bad habit because I do that a lot too, but you won’t lose anything to try on visiting local museums which (I think) mainly well-preserve by government. Thankfully, some communities nowaday also going out to museum a lot including photographer community who usually take these wonderful museum collection or building as an object or even only for their background.  A website named Wisata Museum provides list of museums on several provinces in Indonesia on http://www.wisatamuseum.com/ may help you find your interest on visiting on nearest museum available in your area. In my conclusion, hanging out in museum not only save your money for other necessity but also make your image as an intellegent youngster, which is kinda cool (no? okay). But why don’t you give a try?

Love peace and gaul,
Icha

First post on 2014..

... dedicated to the one and only Wengky Ariando!

Who is he?

Uh but anyway as this is my first post on 2014, should I be congratulating you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR? Its already february but whatever I havent blogging since last year lol. Seize the year folks!

Back to bussiness, to answer it you just need a few seconds to type his name on google and click enter! But long story short, he is one of my closest mate (eh iya ga cun kita temenan kan?) who recently share me about this quarter-life-crisis. And well according to this link I am having that kind of syndrome at the moment, hell yeah.

1. You’ve been daydreaming about doing something crazy.
2. …but you feel paralyzed by indecision.

3. You feel increasingly nostalgic for your high school and college days.

4. The idea of making a budget terrifies you.

5. You’re starting to think of your dating life differently.

6. You have a sudden, intense fear of failure.

7. You’re bored with your friends.

8. You constantly compare yourself to your friends who are your age…

9. …or your parents when THEY were your age.

10. You feel like your twenties aren’t turning out how you expected they would.

Me myself already feel 8/10 from that list since last year (at the time when I finally finish my undergraduate thesis) but thank God I dont feel like constantly living in such syndrome. It is a thing which somehow rises in unexpected time, like when your classmate get married (read point 8 lol). At such time, I likely feel so unsignificant for hours or days but then I see a light at the end of it as by either searching a sanctuary or listening to certain music. A quite and comfy food court, breezy songs (London Grammar, Laura Marling, and friends), and a cup of cold coffee or green tea will be the best combination for recent me. Even when I managed to get a grip of myself for a while, it doesnt mean I fully overcome this quarter-life-crisis thing. I still frequently lost, unsure, etc like those list above mentioned. An exact answer may not come immediately to our life but if we patient enough, always be the best of ourselves, and get closer to God everyday, hope still there remained for us :)

So how about you guys? Mind to share the story with me?

Oh and about point 3. I DO MISS MY DAYS ON HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE, like a lot.

XOXO,

Icha

You think you have the world on the palm of your hands?

There is time when I was afraid of being jobless and ended up spamming posts in this stranded personal blog which no one ever read but hey.. now I aint that jobless and neglecting this blog became naturally unavoidable. This current job is somehow complicated for me because I still uhm half-harted on workin on it but then my quest of finding (or searching) what I want hasnt end yeah so; for the time being I had to enjoy this and be more grateful (which I am). From 9-5 on Monday-Friday, staring on my screen with arcgis, google earth, global mapper on stand by maybe sound uninteresting and it could be more boring if we had to wait for the data which is being processed for yearsss. Well not exactly yearsss with three s's but it is unpredictably long and sit on your desk while had nothing to do is waste of time but thank God we live in the era when wifi connection is a compulsary at every office. I guess I made great decision of spending my leisure office time this week in these following sites:

Notions & Notations of A Novice Cook

Followed her on tumblr quite some time ago but myinstinct to drool over infatuating food and beverages (well I am on fasting those days actually) made me stalk her timeline again. You'll find so many mouth watering provisions here, with extra credit on her way to capture it.. make your heart burst of joy just by watching over pretty pictures of lemon squares or matcha pancakes. She also has that taste of music yknow.            

 

Diary of: THE RIOTOUS BELLE

Also been a fan for some time now. If you know me in person ofc you can tell I am not that super stylish girlfriend with up to date radar of fashion but I ALWAYS get this euphoric feel whenever see right person wearing right outfit. Sonia Eryka is one of my fav, alongside Diana Rikasari and Evita Nuh believe me or not I kinda check their blog regularly. Lately I also fall for Anastasia Siantar and Clara Devi, they are also a gorg and rock every piece their wear.. so many beautiful ladies out here and here I am only worshippin em, my life is a travesty.

last.fm

It is near end of 2013 and here I am just signing in for last.fm meheheheh. I never know everything can be so easy to follow up my fave band, discovering new music, and else. Currently scrobble everything I listen on media player and a bit dissapointed it can be scrobbled for GOM Player just bcs I almost listen all my fave kpop song thru their music videos not their ilegal downloaded mp3 tracks.

Wikipedia

Imagine the world without wikipedia *shuddering shoulders* I somehow have this habit when everytime I read things I automatically search either it subject/object, names, places, events, things by typing it on google and lurking what wikipedia said about them. Wait lemme check latest thing I concerned on..

Oh well kind of abstract dont they?

It seems there are loads of running tabs on firefox when you have nothing to do. Just when you think you well-informed about what happening on vicinity or around the world, you read things and realized you know nothing *deep exhale*

Uhm seem I still have errands to do on this lovely saturday, so catch ya later.

XOXO,

Icha

Ghibli's H&M

Hayao Miyazaki.

Studio Ghibli.

Those two names make a magical effect, very imaginative yet such touching animation. Hayao Miyazaki (b.1941) is a film director, animator, manga artist, producer, and screenwriter with career that already spanned over five decade. With his recent claimed to retire from the business, I suddenly want to rewatch all his and/or studio ghibli movies again but poor me, I only had chances to watch these four from them all: Spirited Away - Howl Moving Castle - My Neighbor Totoro - Princess Mononoke.

I am a pretty scaredy cat person who didnt really enjoy any presence of spirit/devil/ghost in a movie (yet I still manage myself to watch the exorcist), yet all movies above has this point where the main character somehow clash their daily life into world full of spirit, either good and devilish one. In Spirited Away, Chiaki which seen so little and fragile find herself in a place where regularly visited by a bunch of spirits. This No-Face spirit especially freaked me out only with his appearance and his eh-eh-eh voice. Howl is one of those good looking wizard in Howl Moving Castle which attract many of creatures (including this Witch of The Waste and me, too). My Neighbor Totoro was a very simple movie if you only ever read crappy synopsis (like the one I always write) about how children named Satsuki and Mei overcome their daily life and be-friend with this magical creature of the forest-next-door, Totoro. He (ok I am not sure, but I can just address Totoro as he) is a very fluffy creature who fond of sleep and I just want him no matter what, uhm. The most recent one I watched was Princess Mononoke where I feel dragged also onto heart of the forest with those charming tiny forest spirits called kodama.

I am sure to always remember you, No-Face

Sophie and Howl, after all the ruckuss

How can I ignore to sleep in his belly eh?

Kodama attaaaaaaaaack

Rumor said Miyazaki will no longer produce movies like he used to be but Studio Ghibli will still stand there, artworking great animation like before, or even better. I love how they actually slaps the viewer with the critics and life education derive from its movie plot without losing any grace. Hopefully can catch The Wind Rises this year :)

Always with love,

Icha

A Journey of Healing

Hei there!

Weekend is finally here, you lot of workers *wait it is too harsh isnt it, worker? employee is better term* employee must be very happy to embrace it. Yesterday I, as temporary unemployed, was originally expecting myself to stay at home all day long but turned out I was not. Friday was started smoothly with a quite relieved heart, I was doing those translating assignment at my room when Ressa called me and asking about how cozy Bread Unit is. Recalling memories when I once or twice hanging around at that place, somehow we manage to meet there after she finished her bussiness. 2-hrs later we already inside Bread Unit bakery with Ressa sobbing herself to someone beyond her phone. Our plan to have great times at Bread Unit with well cooked bread, cup of coffee, and stable wifi connection kinda ruined bcs she is having a serious bad mood regarding her research. Initially I want to stay still and finished my tasks but she need to be rescued consoled. Then, we spent the next 10-hrs to do the sacred journey of mental healing process.

our third destination: bogor junction food court, average food yet coziest place

Why should I called yesterday journey as a mental healing?

Because it seems myself actually a bit mentally ill lately.

After finished my final assignment for bachelor degree, ofcourse gratitude is what to feel at first. Seeing 6-months back as in struggling moment with a lot of tears (of joy and sadness), a bunch of thanks just not sufficient enough for those who help around at that hardest time. The thing is, the one which came after a brief moment of happiness. Now I barely see anything for my future, even for tomorrow. Maybe not just me but some of fresh undergradute will think the same, preferably if they dont have any life goal/life road map (yes like me). How can at this age, someone still confusing about what should he/she do. Pursuing dreams? To be honest, the image of my long-lasting dream is fading away till it only a vague pieces now. I used to plan to take magister study after this one, maybe at technic/environmental major but recently my interest change into search for working experience. Where? It will be a sacred questions too, myself still being idealist (or easily stated, picky) to choose a type of work. Well, definitely doesnt help. Doing nothing will be a very waste of time. So.. Are you starting to feel angered, because I am. May be its not anger but dont you hate it when you losing your grip? Been feeling that way for a week and hopefully it didnt stay longer. Yesterday was like my first time of the week where I feel ultimately free and enjoying the time so yeah, it was a healing journey.

Thanks Ressa, for somehow managing yourself to make me relieved. You said yesterday was a bad day but a great night. You need to be free from all the burden, but I am feel lighter instead. We should do that more often or I will be mentally desperate.

XOXO

I am Taken.. by TV-Series

Morning!

I am soaking my laundry now, so it seems I have to wait like another hour before continuing my activities. Meanwhile, last night I (finally) tried to watch Dexter TV series. Yes it is old, I watched 4 episodes from the first season (2006) but indeed maybe years ago I can barely watched it. To be honest after feed up my eyes with The Walking Dead for a last month, my limit to see/watch some kind disturbing pictures had changed. It is okay for me now to watch blood splattering from blunt objects against any parts of human bodies but ugh it still gross and I am sure cant manage watching it live.

Anyhow the purpose of this post actually is.. telling you how my life recently changed in this past half year. As I manage to see myself I am quite a movie-goer (with broad sense of genres) and I had this habbit to write a review (or at least a list) of movie which I watched in a year since 2010. Some of them can be read on this blog or on my tumblr here and for some reasons I also started to watch tv series. My first encounter of tv series maybe happened few years back when F.R.I.E.N.D.S was broadcasted on the local channel but I was at an age which didnt understand any of it. High school era was superb when I never missed any episodes of Supernatural or Smallville there. At some point, I cant call myself tv series junkie but I do know some of them. These last 6 months was the jackpot, I watched like 3-4 tv series which I requested to my friend (so he can downloaded it from indowebster, yeah I know 'the power of net-world'). Now I drowned on it. Those some tv series up here consuming my time much more than my thesis. Chita introduced me to Doctor Who few months ago and now I basically adore the series much.

        

        

Broadchurch*The Walking Dead*Nodame Cantabile*Game of Thrones*Lie To Me*Doctor Who*Skins*Sherlock

Watching tv series from outside country always end with me contemplating why Indonesian tv series (or what ppl here call it sinetron) never can be that good. Nevertheless, I cant judge, because everything so different. Almost all sinetron which now broadcasted on local channel focusing on social life, I hardly find any other than drama genre. The story itself, actually just so simple (I recalling that Tukang Bubur Naik Haji was a short movie before they know made to be one of the current longest sinetron) but that simple plot seems to be dragged away and lost its focus. Cant blame the production team though because the rating actually good, my mom and granma still watch it and maybe million of people out there too. If only production people start to manage how to produce sinetron like they produce a movie, it will be like a piece of art. If some of us remember Bunda with Dinna Olivia and Meriam Belina as the cast was pretty good (and short, if compared to others so called successful sinetron episodes). Indonesian movies were good lately with broader various of genres so maybe later.. our tv series can be more worth to watch too.

Well, it seems an hour had passed and I need to do my laundry now. Catch ya later.

Bye,

Icha

Again: After A Long Hiatus

Believe me just a moment ago I was just writing a post to mark my new plan to use this blog again but somehow it got deleted. What a waste really and I suddenly feel mad to myself *sigh*. It was never be same if I write exact same things like what I write previously right?

Bear with me guys, I'll come up later!

I'm the light
Blinking at the end of the road.
Blink back to let me know.

#1 Distraction

My #1 distraction is watching RUNNING MAN SHOW. That's just the way it is.

Episode di ats ini salah satu cuplikan (etdah cuplikan, bahasanya) dari Running Man episode 27 yang sangt gue tunggu-tunggu sedari dulu karena si putri ribut ngomongin katanya ChangMin ganteng banget di situ haha. Setelah beberapa hari kemaren berhasil donlot, RM27 ini guest starnya ternyata emang DBSK, yang tinggal dua itu. Gamesnya agak beda dari RM yang dulu-dulu. Games pertama: 'catch the guest' pake efek masquerade gitu (semua orang pada pake topeng dan lagu Phantom of The Opera diputer di mana-mana (which is exciting). Games kedua: Semacam tebak gambar berantai gitu, Games terakhir: One Chance choreographic dance. I'm not going to blubbering here about what kind of games those are, because you have to see it yourself then you could understand why I love RM so much :D

Dan ternyata emang episode yang ini keren abis, karena...
1. ChangMin, terutama his adorable smile which make me want to xxx him LOL.
2. A part when Jae Suk oppa imitating Suk Jin when he unmasked all the pretty girl there. A perfect WHOA-ing for sure.
3. Bullied Joong Ki ever! I love to see him get teased :]
4. SNSD'S Gee dance. It is hilarious to saw the all the running man cast to dance. Creak-ing Gwang Soo, incompetent Ji Hyo, and Awkward Suk Jin lol. But the best ofcourse YOO HYUK!

Sebenernya banyak lagi sih yang bikin episode kali ini spesial, tapi yaa like I've said before... you have to see it yourself.
Cant wait for the next episodes, 29th! (I've watched the 28th episode, gonna talk about it later okay)
Love, Icha

Electric Feel

"all along the eastern shore
put your circuits in the sea
this is what the world is for
making electricity
you can feel it in your mind
oh you can do it all the time
plug it in, change the world
you are my electric girl"

Worth waiting gig: MGMT, The Whitest Boy Alive, plus Sajama Cut. 26th of March gonna be awesome for real.
And what kinda weird is... I dont feel a lil bit hyper as usual I do. Its just, 'oh okay, so I'm gonna watch them live'. Dont get me wrong, I love them (ofcourse I love them, I paid 275k for watching) But until now, I havent even prepare anything for the-day. I still dont know where Luksi and I will be sleep after the concert, we also not really sure about where the Bengkel Night Park location is, which mean we still not decide by what we're gonna aim there. And for the God sake we definitely have no idea about what we are going to give to our lovely MGMT as a present. I feel like a bad fan here -__-
But time will brought us the answer, right?
Love, Icha

Changing, Not A Saosin Song Really

An alter-ego (Latin, "the other I") is a second self, a second personality or persona within a person, who is often oblivious to the persona's actions. It was coined in the early nineteenth century when dissociative identity disorder was first described by psychologists. A person with an alter-ego is said to lead a double life. Alter-ego is also used to refer to the different behaviors any person may display in various situations. Related concepts include avatar, doppelgänger, impersonator, and split personality.
(Source from: wikipedia.com)

Kenapa gue tiba-tiba nulis begini? Karena entah kenapa gue lagi ngerasa alter ego gue mulai merangkak keluar.
Jujur aja dari tiga minggu lalu alias dari awal masuk semester genap ini gue ngerasa sedikit berubah, somehow I turn to someone that more gloomy than before. Gue pikir, itu masa adaptif yang biasa dilalui orang setelah lama ga berinteraksi sama lingkungannya. Tapi setelah tiga minggu dan kondisinya masih stagnan kaya begini, I start to questioning my own self.
Awalnya, gue cuma ngerasa ga nyaman. Ga nyaman sama semuanya. Kalo diliat lagi, postingan yang galau beberapa waktu lalu yang masalah mempertanyakan tujuan hidup itu kayaknya awal masa perubahan gue semester ini. Padahal gue ngarepnya dari titik itu gue bisa jadi orang yang lebih bisa berpikir bijak, dewasa, dan rasional. Tapi rasanya.. it goes wrong. My feeling become colder and colder. Even some of my close friends told me so. Now they labelled me as having "galau period". Yah ga salah juga sih. Gue pribadi lagi ngerasa bingung. Bingung harus bersikap bagaimana, mungkin. Atau kalo boleh buat excuse.. maybe this is a sort of learning of my almost 20 era.
Gue juga ga mau terlalu lama terjebak dalam kondisi yang bikin hati ga enak ini.
I dont know where this thing invite me. I really feel this is my second turning point (after I had it at my first year on high school). Dan gue ga mau hal ini, entah bisa disebut alter ego atau bukan, terus berlanjut. Atau ekstremnya yah.. gue bener-bener berubah kepribadian. I'm not intend to do it. Maybe it's better to me to be alone for some days in recent. So please forgive me if I'm avoiding people.

I still remember when I followed a training last Sunday, the spokeperson ask us, "what the hardest thing you want to do?" and I answered, "Make all the people arround me happy. Everyone. Happy."
Yes. It is hard to do. And how I supposed to work on it when I'm not feeling happy eitherway?

Gue bener-bener ga pengen bikin orang-orang di sekeliling gue ga nyaman, jadi sekali lagi, gue akan berusaha untuk ngelewatin semua ini. Insya Allah gue masih ada keluarga, sahabat sehati, dan orang-orang yang bisa ngebantu gue di saat "ga jelas" seperti ini. I'm gonna be the casual Annisa Noyara Rahmasary atau mungkin the new and better her. But talking is easy nor the act seem hard. So I'm struggling, okay?
Satu lagi, kalo ditanya kenapa gue nulis hal kaya gini ke blog, gue punya jawaban sendiri:
Seseorang pernah bilang ke gue kadang orang lain ga butuh dicurhatin masalah pribadi yang geje kaya gini, mereka bakal nganggep 'itu hidup lo masing-masing, jadi kasarnya itu ga penting buat gue' dan pada dasarnya gue emang ga bisa cerita sembarangan ke orang buat masalah hati kaya begini. Tapi entah kenapa kalo di dunia maya kaya gini, tempat di mana bahakan orang yang ga kita kenal pun bisa baca blog sampah gue ini, gue malah bisa paling tidak berbagi pikiran. Life is weird, and I'm the living prove.

Still with a lot of love,
Icha.

Dirty Jobs, Fresh Name

Lately I watched this 2008 movie titled "Sunshine Cleaning". It starring by Amy Adams and Emily Blunt. Actually at first I dont really feel interested in this movie but somehow Emily Blunt success to engrossed me, as always :]
It tells us about how Rose (Adams) try to handle her family consist of her unreliable sister, Norah (Blunt), his little son with a lot of imagination, and a father (Alan Arkin) which often made promises to her son although he cant always made.
Rose was ever a high school flower, lead dancer but then she just works as a maid. With her needs to fulfill she eventually jumps into a 'dirty' business involving her sister. This job called biohazard removal or crime scene clean up. They take over anything left from a crime occasion like murderer, street accident, or so.. Everything went okay until Norah did something.
What best about this movie is how a person, even like the underestimated one like Norah can became so care yet curious about life. And how their job brings them new experiences in facing death. How people struggle to survive when the one they love left them.
This movie just simple, easy to follow, and in some point of view has a happy ending. And Emily Blunt as always is adorable. Honestly I dont really know since when I trapped in her charisma (err,not charisma actually I just love seeing her in my TV or laptop screen haha). Yah like I said before this movie is really worth to watch (or maybe I havent said it before).

Love, Icha

I'm Not Calling This as Resolutions

Sebelumnya gue mau ngomong,
Running Man definitely run in my recent life.
Gue ga bisa sehari ga bisa liat tayangan yang satu itu. Padahal yang ada di laptop cuma sampe episode 22 doang, mau ga mau gue harus puas nonton episod itu berulang-ulang. Ga papa,dari pada ga sama sekali. Hahah. It lights on my day in the end, and such a sweet ending before I go to sleep actually.

Back to problem yah.
Ini hari ke dua gue kuliah semester 4 (hari ketiga sebenernya tapi kan kemaren tanggal merah jadi ya... libur dong). Gue baru masuk kelas 2x, soalnya ada beberapa kelas yg masih kosong. Yang pengen gue share adalah:
1. Gue masih belum ngerasa on buat kuliah
Jujur aja nih,otak gue masih setelan liburan. Kemaren aja pas baru nyampe Bogor gue luksi hanna langsung cabut ke elos buat nonton The Green Hornet (yep gue baru nonton itu) dan terkesima liat Jay Chou yang understandably ganteng sekarang haha. Apalagi kemaren selasa libur lagi. Mana bisa gue ngeset otak balik ke mode belajar? (what an excuse -__-)
2. Gue memutuskan untuk ga aktif di UKM panahan lagi dan fokus ke HIMAGRETO
Dari dulu juga gue ga pernah "terlalu" aktif sih di sini,tapi... kalo mau keluar sayang juga. Tapinya lagi kalo sampe sekarang gue masih menye-menye (ga jelas mau iya apa engga) di panahan, nasib gue bakal terancam. lagian gue merasa ga pantes, nembak pake busur 1 aja gue masih lemes banget dan belakangan gue ga pernah latian lagi. mungkin kesannya gue nyia-nyiain kesempatan ngelepasin kegiatan ini begitu aja, tapi feel gue buat panahan udah ilang. Sorry to say aja.. tapi bareng2 mereka setaun ini bener2 pengalaman berharga :D
3. I can just let my life flows as it rhyme
Sejak lama, gue suka galau mikirin idup gue yang kayaknya lancar banget. Bukan bermaksud nyombong atau ga tau terima kasih but I just feel my life completely good, nothing to really worry except for certain things which is undersatandabale. In the end, gue ngerasa agak parno. I'm afraid my little less perfet life bakal ga bagus endingnya. Gue selalu mikir: I'm always taking everything too easy. Serius deh, gue ga gampang stress loh. Apa karena hidup gue minim tekanan? Entahlah tapi gue sangat menikmati hidup gue yang sekarang ini. Tapi karena itu kadangan kalo liat idup orang lain yang diisi banayk kerja keras, perjuangan yang bikin kite meleleh gue jadi ngerasa hidup gue agak... plain. Bukan berarti gue ga punya pengalaman menarik atau apa ya, cuma kadang gue ngerasa hidup gue itu terlalu mengalir. kadang gue menemui hambatan juga tapi selama ini Alhamdulillah gue selalu bisa ngatasin semua itu. Setelah semaleman gue agak ngegalau, gue baru nemu jawaban ini, "Maybe for now I just can let my life flows like its rhyme, later I'll figure it out what my life exactly purpose" dan gue cukup puas dengan jawaban itu.

Yah hidup gue di Bogor masih baru dimulai lagi. I'm not only wish for happy ending but also a happy process. My life process.
Yang jelas gue mau bilang sekali: I enjoy my current life. I'm happy with this and try to make people surround me happy too.
Oke deh gue harus kuliah lagi ntar sore heheh. Out for now, see ya later.

Oke judul di atas emang ga nyambung banget tapi sumpah hari ini kayaknya otak gue cuma kebagi buat dua hal ini KRS dan SHINee *lebay mode: on, dont blame me* Dari pagi waktu buka grup GFM46 di fb buat pertama kali anak-anak udah pada riweuh mau KRS-an. Minta pada janjian atau apa lah. Dan gue... gue nyantai banget, beneran nyantai berasa ga mau nerusin kuliah lagi. Kedua (kapan ada 'Pertama'nya coba) gue dari kemaren dicekokin putri sama SHINee, dan sampe sekarang itu lagu Ring Ding Dong ga bisa ilang dari kepala gue, bagus Put you drove me crazy.

Serius deh, masalah KRS ini emang ngelantur kemana-mana. Lagian aneh, masa jadwal antar mata kuliah mayor bentrok. Lucu banget. Kasian si komti harus ngurusin ini ke direktorat AJMP. Udah gitu minor gue bentrok semua sama matkul mayor duh, bikin pusing banget deh. Mau ambil SC orang-orang udah pada beringas banget ga menyisakan kursi satu pun buat matkul yang emang gue pengen kayak Amdal Perairan, Sanitasi dan Ketahanan Pangan, dll. Gue baru ambil 18 sks dan itu sayang banget soalnya kapasitas gue masih nyampe 25 sks. Bener-bener deh kuliah bikin pusing, mending kawin aja kali yee -_-

Dan yang ngebikin gue tambah pening adalah... GUE SEKARANG LAGI SHAWOL MODE ON, like serously, their songs were stucked in my head and keep playing forever. Ditambah lagi tadi putri ngajakin karaokean Ring Ding Dong itu. And you know what, we even sang it for four times. How's that eh? Pretty crazy right?
I feel a bit guilty about this, ehm sebelumnya gue kan suka ngeledekin temen gue yang suka SHINee dan sekarang gue kena karma suka sama mereka, yah belum SHINee expert juga sih gue mah tapi tetep aja, judulnya sekarang gue sukaaa *meratap nista*
Belum lagi gue pengen nonton Running Man. Itu variety show emang dongo banget deh. Jaesuk bego hahah. Jong Kook ama Gary lebih-lebih.
Udah ah, ntar gue ngespam lebih banyak lagi cerita Running Man. Ini aja udah banyak bacot kan?

Love, Icha.

Migrain and Movies

Jadi kemaren, dalam sehari gue nonton 4 film.
Ga marathon juga sih, tapi yah tetep aja 4 film. Kalo kata nyokap, "Kamu itu ga ada kerjaan atau gimana sih?" Yah, gimana dong. Gue lagi liburan dan 4 film kayaknya belum apa-apa deh, dulu gue pernah nonton marathon 7 film sehari. Pagi-siang-sore-malem, puas banget gila! Yah, cuma migren seharian besoknya dan ga bisa bangun dari kasur hahah.
Ehm, kembali ke masalah kemaren, jadi film yang gue tonton itu:
The A-Team
Wanted
27 Dresses
The Parent Trap
Ga ada film baru sih (terutama yang terakhir itu, haha jadul abis Lilo-nya) tapi emang yang tiga pertama itu belum gue tonton *muka inosen*
Sekarang gue jadi migren lagi gara-gara semalem begadang nonton tiga film terakhir itu ampe jam dua malem. Padahal kemaren gue ga tidur siang dan jam tujuh aja udah nguap-nguap ngantuk tapi entah deh lewat jam 10 malem malah ga ngantuk sama sekali.
Gue ga akan nge-review itu film-film tadi gimana isinya, everybody know Hannibal Smith and The Fraternity, rite? Gue cuma mau bilang, film-film tadi di atas bagus. Dan yang bikin gue heran sama diri gue sendiri adalah... hampir semua film yang gue tonton gue bilang bagus. Yaah ga "bagus" juga sih tapi at least, gue selalu bisa nikmatin semuanya, berbagai genre. Gue suka film drama macem Weather Man, Reign Over Me, Defintely Maybe; film keluarga kayak Parent Trap di atas atau Aliens in the Attic; film sci-fi, well I tell you The Day After Tomorrow play a big role in my life! Haha; film action kayak The Italian Job atau Ocean Twelve; I even enjoy musical movies.
Jadi sebenernya gue yang range seleranya luas atau emang I have no taste in movies? Gue juga ga ngerti sih tapi ya gue bersyukur aja karena selera gue yang begini jadi gue jarang kecewa gara-gara ngeluarin duit buat nonton di XXI, eh anyway gue pernah deng kecewa banget waktu kemaren nonton Skyline di bioskop Rajawali. Udah filmnya kata gue ancur banget, bioskopnya abal pula. Lengkap sudah 11ribu gue melayang tanpa arti.
Liburan masih berapa hari yah? Gue masih ada ehm paling ga sepuluh kaset dvd lagi buat ditonton :]

Grease... is the word!

So now I’m gonna post some movies I’ve been watching start this 2011 year.
Since I lost my binder who keep all the track of movies I’ve watched on 2010 maybe blogging could be my back up :D
And.. until now, February the 3rd, I’ve watched about 14 movies. Well not a big number considered at the same month last year it was about 30 or so, but well we’ll discuss it later.
Now I’m gonna share about this comedy musical movie, GREASE.

*his eyes, hipnotize me, hahah*

This movie is hillarious!
I love every dancing scene, evenmore Travolta and Newton-John really looks click at each other :) Maybe the story was so common: summer high school love, but I enjoy it.
Everything seemed so 70’s ofcourse, this is 1971’s movie. Looking all the boys and girls in that outfit is undescribeable! Make me want to ride the time travel machine and life there. The gangs thingy, wearing the same jacket. Those outfit and hair style, argh, nobody seems ugly here okay I am a moron, ofcourse everybody looks great this is a movie, not reality hah! Plus, the songs! You are gonna love it: Summer Love, Grease Lightnin', You Are The One That I Want.
Argh, I love this kind of movie. Move out High School Musical, this is the older and way better version of you <3

Love, Icha

Semangat Baru

Entah kenapa pengen meng-eksis-kan diri lagi di blogger *emang dulu pernah eksis?*
Yah, maybe I'm just searching a loner place again since Twitter and Tumblr was kinda crowded :)
See you very so on in my next post!
Love, Icha.

seminggu ini...

ehm, lama banget ya ga posting haha maaf
kan ceritanya aku udah di purwokerto gitu (remember? my pre-UAS holiday)
niatnya sih mau rajin posting di rumah dengan memanfaatkan kabel telpon yang ada (baca: telkomnetinstan) tapi entah niat buruk itu selalu ada ganjalannya atau gimana, tiba2 aja laptopku settingannya error, harus diservis dan akhirnya malah dikarantina huhu.
dan setelah beberapa hari yang melelahkan (padahal ga ngapa2in) tibalah hari minggu ini, which means besok aku balik ke bogor, ergh.

dan sebenernya dua hal terjadi seminggu ini, dari yang seneng2 dulu aja:
1. aku ke jogja (lagi) bareng putri (lagi) naik kereta logawa (lagi) nginep di kosnya monik dan ketemu sama mba resty. aku ga kenal dia sih cuma tau doang di twitter. dan seperti orang2 twitter lain, she's effin great :)
2. dan kabar yang buruk adalah AKU GA JADI NONTON COBRA STARSHIP isnt that greattt? why? karena ga ada temen dan aku ga berani minta ijin ke ortu. bagus banget kan? iya saking bagusnya aku sempet nangis

i'm not in the mood to post anything, so huhu udah ya, maaf saya masih berkabung menangisi gabe saporta yang ga jadi aku tonton :(
love, icha

hell yeah COBRA STARSHIP

seperti yang kita semua tau, COBRA STARSHIP mau manggung di sini dan aku sudah sangat-amat-berniat-sekali-banget untuk nonton :)

*sumpah ya itu si ryland ganteng banget hahaha*

tapi kayaknya sesuatu yang agak-tidak-baik (nonton konser masuk hal itu ga sih) selalu ada halangannya ya?
mulai dari:
1. duit men duit. presale festival 295ribu. ga makan berapa hari coba? lebay emang. tapi emang penuh perjuangan tuh ngumpulin duit :( dari kapan lama
2. jadwal kuliah pas konser *haruskah ku memboloooos?* *yes,ofcourse*
3. temen buat nonton. awalnya aku sama luksi udah yakin mau nonton, terus kita bergasil menggaet beberapa orang untuk nonton juga (baca: monik bento andu hafiyan) tapi kabar terakhir hafi ga jadi ikut -ga ada duit katanya- terus luksi sama aku malah bingung untuk nonton karena hal yang terakhir ini...
4. IZIN OARNG TUA. nah itu dia yang bikin bingung :( pasti ibuku ga ngebolehin aku nonton konser. walopun diotnya aku yang ngumpulin sendiriiii. egh.

terus aku harus gimana?
masa mau ga nonton?
ih ga mau :'(
ibu tolong ijinkanlah anakmu ini untuk sedikit ngegaul dengan nonton konser cobra starship :(
tolooong :(
pleaseeeee :(
somebody help meeee :(

love, ICHA
