People move through their lives sometimes without really thinking about where they're going.
Days pile up and they get sadder and lonelier without really knowing why they're so sad ot how why got so lonely.
Then things happens-
they meet someone who looks a certain way or had something in their smile
Maybe that's all that falling in love is-
finding someone who makes you feel a little less alone.

People come home for a lot of reasons
They come home to remember
They come home because they've got no place to go
They come home when they're beaten
They come home when they're proud
They come home looking for a door out into their past or a road out into their future
They come home for a lot of reasons
but they always come home to say good-bye

i
can't stop watching taken!! 2 more discs...
putau and i discussed yesterday and we made
a conclusion: steven spielberg is an alien!!!

last night i
passed galeria 21.
they had master of commander instead of lotr 3
it was
rude!
how could they do it to us??!

quentin tarantino rocks!!! i like the way he made the movie but i hate the spilling blood everywhere *sampe gue mikir harusnya bawa payung ke dlm bioskop* and the sadistic parts where people lost their parts of body *yuks! * you can't find a single normal person in the movie, they are all insane! now i can't wait to see the vol. 2!

a sarcastic comedy movie about heaven and hell in multi-languages: spanish, italian, french, and english. they spoke french in heaven, english in hell, and spanish/italian on earth *i think*. penelope cruz, victoria abril, and gael gracia were there! heaven and hell were almost bankrupt, so each delegated an angel to influence
 
a stupid boxer who could make change in heaven or hell.

 
i saw this movie a long time ago in slesta's old blue blog. the story really reminded me of the catcher in the rye, but igby, who got kick out from most school, didn't have any little sister and didn't live in the 50s.

Sookie: What kind of name is 'Igby'?
Igby: The kind of name that someone named 'Sookie' is in no position to question.

because of the bad influences i got from this & this aliens , i'm watching taken now...

cadiz.

tomorrow is hari raya kuningan, which is always celebrated 10 days after the galungan.

  since galungan = wednesday
wednesday + 10 days = saturday

so kuningan = saturday

yupe , it's
always on saturday. i was so curious how come the name is kuningan, not merahan, or unguan, or biruan? according to my balinese friend, the gods come to earth on galungan day to give some blesses. after 10 days, they leave. and this farewell day calls kuningan because one of the must offering is nasi kuning. they also decorate the shrines with yellow clothes.

so...
be yellow peeps

some movies to go...

another hayao miyazaki. about a little witch named kiki, whose job was delivered things. and do you see the black cat on the left side of this lay out? it's jiji , kiki's black cat. since kiki is a witch, she's able to talk to jiji. but i still like my neighbor totoro better.
   

*hi kwetiaw * yeah, i skipped infernal affairs 2, i was just curious how come tony leung who was dead in the first one played again here. so in this movie they showed some stories before he died. but i like the first infernal affair much better . the third one just made me a little confuse *is it because i didn't watch the second one?*

  + If I leave you someday would you look for me? Like Mardar?
- Yes
+ Would yu look for me forever?
- Yes
+ Your whole life?
- Yes
+ You're lying
this is a good one . played around suzhou river in shanghai. love story between moudan & marda. the unique thing is the narrator was never shown. he was the camera. we only saw his hands, arms or the smoke from his cigarette.

i also read some books from iman : perempuan di titik nol (woman at point zero - nawal el saadawi), orang batak naik haji, sama girl with a pearl earring. now i'm ready to watch the movie of 'girl with a pearl earring'. it's also the name of a painting from the 17th century by vermeer, which the book is about. so painting -  
book - movie...

kemaren, waktu gue baru balik dari panas2an makan siang, tiba2 resepsionis kantor gue ngasi 2 kartu pos dari chrysalic *hey... i didn't know that you went to europe for winter vacation, padahal gue kan rajin baca blog elo* .

so here they're...

  the first one is from frankfurt. a christmas card. liebe grüsse fröliche weinachten. ein schönes und glückliches neues jahr. and from frankfurt you flied to casablanca? the one in marroco? how lucky you are...
and the second one is from lisbon, portugal yg katanya kotanya agak2 kumuh tapi katedralnya unik , beda dgn arsitektur katedral2 lain di eropa. wah sekarang org indonesia udah boleh ke portugal yah. soalnya gue pernah diresein pas minta visa portugal. jadinya ga jadi deh.  
you said there's still one more postcard.
gue tunggu deh kedatangannya .

meetings are boring...
we usually
act like kindergarten kids during the meeting
like the guy who sit next to me,
sms me *gubrak*
or we
kick each other's footwear under the table, so at the end of meeting, we have to find our shoes or sandals on the other side of the room.
or we
make fun of someone who's talking.
and everything we'll be
stop for a moment when my boss starts shouting, "alaya, i'm trying to explain the project."
(note: this is only happen in
internal staff meetings, we behave much better when meeting with clients or other people)

last friday we had another staff meeting.
there was this one guy who
looove to talk during the meeting.
if it is allowed, i was sure he would talk forever, explained all the details we didn't want to hear and we didn't need to hear . he just
wanted to look smart in front of us.
it was already
past 6 o'clock (our office hour ends at 5.30) and he was still talking. i wanted to see sunset which is usually at 6.30, so i couldn't stand it anymore.

me: can we end the meeting?
i want to see the sunset .
the guy who kept talking: you can see the sunset
from the window of the meeting room
me: no, i want the sunset by the beach
the others were bored too , so we
end the meeting.


the reason i wrote this, my dear blog reader, because i need to make this guy
unconscious, or killed, or dissapeared for the next meetings. but i still don't have plan how to do that. i need some ideas . if something pop up from your head, please write it down here.

i need something to keep me
sane from this insane world...
i plan
for another vacation already

a friend told me
to change my profession since i don't look happy doing it. so he tried to find a new profession which fit on me.
him: so, what do you really wanna do actually?
me: travelling around the world
him: well , that's hard...


They love to tell you
Stay inside the lines
But something's better
On the other side

  after unnecessary delayed, delayed, and delayed , last night at last i watched the last samurai. putau said it was awesome. a friend offered me to borrow his dvd, but i prefer to see it on big screen. like what this blog wrote *yupe! you're so damn right! * about tom cruise: Put him in a pilot suit, vampire suit, futuristic suit, or a samurai suit... he is still Tom Cruise. but for me it was just another heroic movie and my head kept saying "hey, this is in new zealand,
not in japan". but i like the winter scene. the winter in new zealand japan is sooo beautiful .

but
everything about japan reminded me of atsuko *hi *, my best friend back in high school. yeah... i should e-mail her.

i also watched y tu mamá también and bowling for columbine. y tu mamá también bikin gue inget kalo dulu gue pernah ikutan sekte pencari pantai . kalo wiken, kerjaan kita nyariin pantai2 yg blm banyak org tau. pokoknya yg gak komersil males kayak pantai kuta. sering banget jalan menuju kesana masih dari tanah & hrs dilanjutin pake jalan kaki nurunin tebing. tapi udah pada    
kemana ya para anggotanya? btw, gael garcia looked better in amores perros than in this movie.

a documentary like bowling for columbine always gave me
'something'. i like to hear the people's opinions, especially the stupid ones!! and the comparison facts was good too. do you know that this movie won the oscar as the best documentary of the year?

and now everyone in bali has a
big question mark in their head: how come lord of the ring: the return of the king hasn't play yet in bali??

a friend told me this morning that one of
u.s president candidate also has a blog .

so it's galungan today!!
i bet most of you who don't live on this island don't know that galungan is celebrated
twice a year, every six months according to balinese calendar.

galungan day is the symbol of the
dharma (the good) victory against adharma (the bad). it's always celebrated on wednesday. and because to celebrate it the people need to make some offerings and usually visit their original temple back in their village, it becomes 3 days holiday from tuesday until thursday. hasilnya hari senin sama jumat-nya kan kejepit, jadinya yah tanggung libur seminggu aja. bali = banyak libur. tapi coba cek di kalender deh. galungan tuh sama sekali bukan tanggal merah. agama hindu cuma dapet libur sekali setahun yaitu pas hari raya nyepi.

tapi gue
gak libur . karena emang gue kan gak ngerayain galungan. this pile things-to-do makes me stick on my desk, in front of my computer. eventhough there's still a bit good news : because of galungan, the client agreed to postponed the deadline which was supposed to be at the end of this week until at the end of next week! yay! tetep aja kerjaan masih banyak...

  have you seen my new lay out that i uploaded yesterday??
i was inspired by jessica's
red blog and the movie of tonari no totoro (my neighbor totoro) that i got from jakarta as souvenir from this guy .

i always
avoid red all my life but for now on, i claim red as one of my color!!!

i
looooooove the movie so much *better than spirited away & princess mononoke, i think (they're in my june & july blog)*, especially the pictures in it, so i couldn't help not to make a gallery from it.

hayao miyazaki emang keren ...


if you're a die-hard fan of talented mr. ripley like nonot , you should definitely read ripley under water *actually i got this book from nonot too *. it's just another story of tom ripley. he lives in peace in villeperce, a countryside in france, until one of his new american neighbor, david pritchard, tried to annoy him by finding the body of murchison, the guy that ripley murdered a couple years ago. but they want to make a sequel of the book, of course, so the winner is in ripley's side. the ending is a surprise one...

i didn't know that nirgendwo in afrika (nowhere in africa) was such a loooooooong movie!! aber endlich habe ich ein deutsches film gesehen. das war fantastisch wann ich wieder hörte die leute in deutsch wieder gesprach haben. eigentlich wurde ich alles über dieses film in deutsch schreiben, aber ich bin sicher das meine schwester, brüder, und die leute, die verstehen kann, wird lachen weil mein deutsch ist uhr schlecht
