sorry

sorry, i dare not to make any excuses for not posting anything for five days in a row. i'll just try to atone it by posting five you-may-call-it-anything today.

the blind side

a film about an oversize black boy and his lack of intelectual. with no parents raised him, he came to join a school in white people area, so unlike his suburban. his appearance alone is so different with kids in there, not to mention his dreadful academic scores.

michael oher, the boy, has no place to live, no one to rely on.

leigh anne tuohy, a designer, a wife of ex basketball star, a sophisticated mother of two, living in a great big house.

their lives changed after they met each other. michael lived with the tuohy and became a part of the family. leigh anne found the joy beyond everything she could ever think about.

it is a true story of an all american football star. it is a story of racial issue. moreover, it is a story about family and much, so much of love.

ms bullock, i praise you

sandra bullock won oscar as the best lead actress, and i should say no surprise with that. she won it for her latest film, blind side. her acting was so great in it. i'm always a fan of sandra bullock, nevertheless i sometimes thought she always had a typical character in every movie. a pretty witty romantic comedy kind of girl. like in one of my favorite movie, while you were sleeping.

but in blind side, bullock played as a mother of two -or shall i say three- kids. and so i've just realized she's already 46 years old. almost 50, can you imagine?! i realized she looks older, but i was thinking like... thirtysh.

bullock was chosen as one of the 50 beautiful people in the world by people magazine (usa) on 1996. she is also named by empire magazine n the list of 100 sexiest star. i personally think she is pretty and i prefer her in dark hair color rather than blonde. i doubt she never done any plastic surgery but that doesn't matter. she is charming all the way.

she was married to a movie producer, jesse james, on 2005. it was her first marriage and they're still together now, remembering how holywood artists easily changing partner. she said once before she was married, 'the only reason I haven't married yet, is because i take it too seriously.'

why?

because in this country you may see the 'harmony' of the members of the house and the citizens. while the guys in black tie arguing quite much inside, people outside the building are also roaring like crazy (and i don't believe they even know what they are striving for).

both are so (close to) anarchy.

both are paid only to add more country bruises.


how similar they are.

AH WHAT A MORNING SHOCK!

just found out something about someone!

oh yes, gossip is on.

sudirman-depok baru 01.03.10

kemarin adalah perjalanan yang cukup menegangkan buat saya. dari kantor ke kampus kadang saya naik bus, kadang juga naik kereta. perlu diketahui kalau saya benar-benar baru dalam dunia perkeretaapian. sampai sekarang saya masih deg-degan kalau naik kereta sendirian, karena saya nggak tahu yang mana kereta saya dan sudah di stasiun mana kereta itu berhenti. 

kemarin saya memutuskan naik kereta setelah melakukan perhitungan waktu yang cermat. namun saya sangat nggak familiar dengan kata-kata 'kereta batal diberangkatkan' atau 'masih belum ada pemberitahuan' atau 'keretanya nggak berhenti di universitas indonesia' atau 'keretanya masih di depok'. astaga! deg-degan yang biasa pun berpangkat dua. 

dengan bantuan dari mas-mas petugas (yang sebenarnya agak menjebak), saya naik kereta yang melewati stasiun pemberhentian yang seharusnya. nanti dari sana baru ganti kendaraan, balik ke dua stasiun sebelumnya, begitu pikir saya. alhasil, dengan perasaan deg-degan dan nggak berarti memakai earphone di kereta, saya sampai di kampus dengan selamat. saya merayakannya dengan membeli somay yang aromanya sangat harum. terima kasih, tuhan!

aragorn, king of gondor

lords of the rings is, by far, one of my favorite movies. the story about a fellowship finding a way to destroy an evil ring. the main character, frodo baggins, who is a hobbit is accompanied by several kinds of frieds. there are another hobbits, an elf, a dwarf, a wizard and also human. the human who accompanied till the end of journey is aragorn. he is my favorite character in the movie. king of the kings, the one who ruled human.

my favorite scene is the one on lord of the rings ii: the two towers -aragorn in it, of course. when he get into the path of the death to seek for help from dead men of dunharrow. with his authority as the king of human, he told them to pay their debt of betrayal. his last words were nicely phrase, 'what say you?'
