Once upon a time, when the sky was covered with blue
Once upon a time, when the sun was smiling too
We're just common people with an ordinary look
We're just common people with an ordinary love
And once upon a time, when I fell in love with you

      nonton semua film2 yg dari ren:

iranian movie. about leila *very beautiful *, a woman who couldn't have baby. it was fine with her husband, reza, but her mother in law forced her to let reza to marry another woman, so he can have baby . at last reza married another woman,
but leila felt really miserable about it.

italian movie. during his exile *because he was a communist*, pablo neruda lived in a small city in italy. mario was a postman who delivered neruda's mails . he wanted neruda to teach him to make poems so he could attracted beatrice's attention. there were many of pablo neruda's poems in the movie. this is one of them:

POETRY
And it was at that age...
Poetry arrived in search of me.
I don't know,
I don't know where it came from,
from winter or a river.
I don't know how or when,
no, they were not voices,
they were not words, nor silence,
but from a street I was summoned,
from the branches of night,
abruptly from the others,
among violent fires or returning alone,
there I was without a face and it touched me.
I did not know what to say,
my mouth had no way
with names my eyes were blind,
and something started in my soul,
fever or forgotten wings,
and I made my own way,
deciphering that fire and
I wrote the first faint line, faint,
without substance,
pure nonsense,
pure wisdom of someone who knows nothing,
and suddenly
I saw the heavens unfastened and open,
planets,
palpitating planations,
shadow perforated,
riddled with arrows,
fire and flowers,
the winding night, the universe.
And I,
infinitesmal being,
drunk with the great starry void,
likeness,
image of mystery,
I felt myself a pure part of the abyss,
I wheeled with the stars,
my heart broke free on the open sky.

about some drug-addited guys. they did anything to get drugs. sometimes with very disgusting ways.

This is a story about two people with jobs. Two people with very, very important jobs. Two very, very important people with two very, very important jobs who are married to each other and have one child.

Meet James and Winnie Dieke (pronounced "deek", not "dyke). The perfect couple. (Or, in their mind anyway, the perfect couple). They live in a five-room apartment on the Upper West Side. They graduated (from?) Ivy League colleges (he Harvard and she Smith). Winnie is thirty-seven. James is forty-two (in their mind, the perfect age difference for a man and a woman). They've been married for seven years. Their lives revolve around their work (and their child). They love to work. Their work keep them busy and neurotic. Their work separated them from other people. Their work (in their minds anyway) actually makes them superior to other people.

They are journalists. Serious journalists.
…….

James and Winnie agree on just about everything. They have definite opinions. "There is something wrong with people who don't have intelligent, informed opinions about thing," Winnie said to James when they met for the first time, at a party in an apartment on the Upper West Side.
…….

Here are few things they agree on: They hate anyone who isn't like them. They hate anyone who is wealthy and successful and gets press (especially Donald Trump). They hate trendy people and things (although James did just buy a pair of Dolce & Gabbanna sunglasses). They hate TV; big-budget movies; all commercial, poorly written books on
The New York Time best-seller list (and people who read them); fast-food restaurants; guns; Republicans; neo-Nazi youth groups; the religious right anti-abortion groups; fashion models (fashion editors); fat on red meat; small, yappy dogs and the people who own them.
……

James is scared about his work. Every time he finishes a piece, he's scared he won't get another one. When he gets another assignment (he always does, but it doesn't make any difference), he's scared he won't make the deadline. When he makes the deadline, he's scared his editor (or editors - there are always faceless editors lurking around in dark little office at magazines), won't like the piece. When they like the piece, he's scared that it won't get published. When it does get published, he's scared that no one will read it or talk about it and all his hard work will have been for nothing. If do people do talk about it (and they don't always, in which case he's scared that he's not a great journalist), he's scared that he won't be able to pull it off again.
…….
[from 4 blondes - candace bushnell]

  candace bushnell is the author of sex and the city *i didn't know that sex and the city is from a book *. so reading four blondes is like watching sex and the city: funny , interesting, but sometimes boring . there are four stories in the book, but i only like the first two. the third one is a bit boring (it has so many initials), but i haven't finished reading the fourth one yet.

remember a friend who borrowed me a
big bag full of books ? this is just one of them.

buku ronggeng dukuh paruk lumayan bagus juga. buku ini kan sebenernya udah lama. tapi terbitan yg dulu disensor , yg sekarang terbit lagi tanpa sensor. tebel juga soalnya 3 buku disatuin. spt karya ahmad tohari lainnya, setting ceritanya di desa yg namanya dukuh paruk tahun 1950-1970-an. tokoh utamanya srintil yg ditakdirkan jadi ronggeng krn ada arwah ronggeng tinggal di badannya. di buku ada banyak deskripsi tentang desa itu, orang2 yg tinggal disana, & kejadian2 selama sekitar 20 tahun. dimulai dari peristiwa tempe bongkrek yg bikin srintil yatim piatu & banyak org2 lainnya di desa itu meninggal , terus kejayaan srintil sebagai ronggeng, sampe akhirnya dia gak mau jadi rongeng lagi.  

  another drama comedy movie from meg ryan: kate & leopold. leopold was a guy from 1876 who accidentally came into present time. since he was a duke, he treated women very very politely. like you can guess, kate (meg ryan) falled in love with him.

  Institut du Monde Arabe

11 quai Saint-Bernard
Paris 5e
France


situated along the
seine river, this building was designed by jean nouvel after he won a design competition.

it housed a library, exhibits, museum, auditorium, restaurant, offices and other
functions devoted to the relationship of arab culture with france

the facade which looks like a decorative pattern is actually some diaphragms that operate like a camera lens to control the sun's penetration into the interior of the building.

a friend of mine,
atsuko, is a huge admire of jean nouvel's buildings. a couple years ago, she really made a trip just to visit nouvel's buildings in france and switzerland. and of course she sent me some postcards from there with nouvel's buildings on it .

  kantor gue sepi banget karena galungan besok. emang baru besok sih hari rayanya. tapi kan mereka udah dari hari ini nyiapin segala sesajen2nya. yg sisa di kantor cuman 3 orang. jadinya pada males kerja. gue malahan sempet nyelesain bukunya fira basuki yg baru yg baru gue terima kemaren *cepet juga gue baca, gak nyangka *. judulnya biru. dibandingin buku-nya fira yg dulu2, yg ini lumayan lebih baik-lah . paling nggak, gak ada tokoh utama yg selalu punya segalanya. disini tokohnya banyak. jadi ceritanya tentang reuni yg mau diadain. trus diceritain satu persatu anak2 yg dulunya semuanya temen sma. apa yg terjadi sama mereka selama 20 tahun ini, masa lalu, & terutama 3 bulan menjelang reuni.

  visit here to hear johann pachelbel's canon in d.

johann pachelbel (1653-1756) *he lived earlier than bach!!*
german composer


he composed keyboard suites, toccatas, preludes, and a vast number of fugues for the organ. he also composed much chamber music for different combinations of instruments (including 6 suites for two violins) and choral works including motets and choral preludes. canon and gigue in d is his most famoust work for three violin and basso continuo.

a canon is a piece of music that uses imitative counterpoint. it means,
the previous theme just gets going when the next one starts. most of of canons you hear today are from the baroque period.

the word 'canon' comes to us from those prolific greeks. they had kanna (meaning reed), which changed to kanon (meaning rule or rod), which was picked up by latin 'canon' (meaning rule or model), which was passed on to old french 'canon' (meaning leaned), and finally to english (an accepted rule).

other
composers of canons: bach, beethoven, brahms, mozart, haydn, etc.

yg ini filmnya banyak gambarnya, dialognya cuman dikit. tapi gambarnya bagus2. banyak ngeliatin detail2. film vietnam, ceritanya tahun 1950. ada mui, anak kecil yg jadi pembantu rumah tangga. tuan rumahnya punya kebiasaan aneh yg suka kabur dari rumah bawa seluruh uang yg ada di rumah, & ninggalin anak2 & istrinya. waktu uangnya habis, dia baru pulang lagi. terakhir kali dia kabur, anak perempuannya meninggal . dia ngerasa bersalah banget. tapi 7 tahun yg kemudian, dia kabur lagi tapi kali ini pas pulang dia sakit & meninggal .

started watching the movies...

  cinema paradiso.
bagi yg suka sama film malena, disarankan utk nonton cinema paradiso juga . yg bikin filmnya org yg sama. masih tentang
anak kecil di kota kecil di sisilia, itali tahun 50-an. tapi anak kecil yg ini, salvatore (toto), ter-gila2 sama film. sampe dia akhirnya bersahabat sama alberto, org yg kerjanya muterin film di bioskop. 30 thn kemudian, setelah sukses jadi sutradara di roma, toto balik lagi ke kota masa kecilnya utk menghadiri pemakaman alberto.

the red violin.
filmnya keren nih , tentang perjalanan sebuah
biola yg terkenal dari masa dia dibuat (tahun 1600-an) sampe sekarang. nama biolanya 'the red violin' *krn warnanya merah* dibuat di itali, oleh pembuat biola terkenal, terus sempet dimiliki sama anak yatim di biara di austria, yg tiba2 meninggal krn terlalu nervous waktu audisi di depan pangeran, terus dicuri sama org2 gypsi dari kuburannya anak kecil itu,
 
sampe dipegang sama pemain biola terkenal di oxford, inggris. sampe akhirnya biolanya dibawa org ke cina & hampir mau dimusnahkan waktu revolusi budaya. akhirnya sampe di montreal, kanada. disini baru ketahuan kalo biola ini amat sangat terkenal & udah lama disangka hilang. akhirnya dilelang dgn harga jutaan dollar. kerennya film ini pindah2 negara juga bahasa yg dipake ganti2 dari itali, jerman, inggris, cina, sampe prancis.

last night, after watching the red violin, i remembered something. i was in vienna, walking in the 1st district, when suddenly i heard some street musicians playing mozart's eine kleine nachtmusik. it was soooo beautiful . probably they were some students from the conservatory near there.

minggu lalu gue nonton film2 ini, tapi krn waktu itu gue lagi males posting, baru gue tulis sekarang...

  wasabi. filmnya luc besson juga yg pake bhs. prancis. ceritanya ttg *gue lupa namanya, pokoknya org yg sama dgn yg maen di film leon*, tiba2 dapet warisan di jepang dari mantan pacarnya berupa uang jutaan dolar & anak perempuan . padahal dia udah gak ketemu selama 19 tahun. ternyata mantan pacarnya ini mata2 di yakuza, makanya setelah ketahuan dia dibunuh . kenapa judulnya wasabi? soalnya kalo orang laen makan wasabi dikit aja udah kepedesan idungnya mau nangis *gue juga* sementara dia suka banget, makan banyak kayak gak ngerasa apa2.

analyze this. gue baru nonton skrg padahal kan sekarang udah keluar analyze that. lumayan lucu . ada ketua mafia (robert de niro) yg berurusan sama psikater krn dia bermasalah . dia suka banget sama psikaternya sampe dia konsultasi sering banget , sampe gak kenal waktu .
