When I get older losing my hair
many years from now
will you still be sending me a valentine
birthday greeting, bottle of wine
If I'd been out till quarter to three
would you lock the door
Will you still need me
Will you still feed me
When I'm sixty-four
.....

ada request dari temen gue yg namanya akasa kalo dia sekali2 minta ditulis di blog gue. sebenernya gue juga gak terlalu kenal sama dia . ketemu juga belom pernah. dia tau gue dari blog, trus ngajak kenalan. awal2nya dia minta diajarin bikin blog, tapi gue bukan tipe pengajar yg baik . akhirnya dia coba2 sendiri & bisa *i'm proud of you *. udah gitu berhubung dia rajin online, dia sering curhat2 gitu sama gue. dia juga termasuk org pertama yg suka ngirim2in gue kartu pos kalo kebetulan dia ke luar negeri *makasiiiih *. tapi dari semua itu, yg paling lucu adalah dia mengklaim dirinya sebagai penggemar blog gue yg paling berat!!!

permintaan selanjutnya datang dari anak ini. dia minta supaya buku yg dia kirimin untuk di-review di blog gue *gue setengah dipaksa *. gue baru baca satu, judulnya iyem cantik, iyem manis. udah lama banget gue gak baca buku kayak ginian. cuman bentar juga abis, ceritanya ringan
 
tentang anak sekolahan yg pas liburan mau nyoba2 jadi pembantu. sampe akhirnya dia malah fall in love sama anak majikannya. lumayan lucu juga sih . buku yg satu lagi blom gue baca, abisan rada2 berat gitu...

let's have some movies reviews from the past days...

 
watch my first thai's movie: nang nak. i think you can see thai's movies on tv now. this one is from a legend. in the 19th-century, there was a wife (nak) whose husband (mak) went to war, but she died when she delivered her baby before her husband came back. but because she loved him so much, even she died already, she tried living with him after the war, as a
ghost of course. her husband didn't realise, even when the neighbour told him about that.

 
meet joe black was on tv a couple days ago. but i didn't have change to watch it. lagian di tv kan gak asik, banyak iklannya. tentang joe black (brad pitt) yg jadi malaikat pencabut nyawa . tapi sebelum dia nyabut nyawa bill parish (anthony hopkins) dia ngasi waktu sampe ulang tahunnya bill yg ke 65, selama itu si malaikat itu involved sama keluarganya bill.

another old movies from monsieur medecin: sunset boulevard (1950, still in black & white ). about a script writer who had no job. he accidently met an old actress who still believe that she was still famous and had many fans. she asked him to help her editing the script that she made.
 


 
next: yamakasi les samourais des temps modernes. un film francaise. je veux expliquer en francaise, mais c'est trop difficile pour moi. il y a sept gens qui escaladent les immeubles dans leur banlieu. ils s'appelent yamakasi. ils sont: baseball, l’araignée, la belette, zicmu, rocket, sitting bull, tango,
vincent,michelin. polisi benci sama mereka soalnya banyak anak2 yg ngefans sama mereka & ikutan manjat2 bangunan. padahal kan c'est dangereux. berapa kali polisi nyoba nangkep tapi gak bisa2. sampe ada anak kecil yg gagal jantung soalnya mau niruin mereka manjat. keluarganya gak punya uang buat operasi
 
. akhirnya mereka jadi kayak robinhood gitu. nyuri2 di rumah dokter2 kaya yg gak mau bantuin anak ini buat biaya operasi.


barusan gue nyelesain nonton film seven di kantor * please don't tell my boss about this, they were away anyway *. ceritanya tentang 2 detektif: william sommerset (samuel l. jackson) & david mills (brad pitt *lagi* ) yg coba mengungkap serangkaian pembunuhan sadis. pembunuhnya kejam & pinter banget sampe si brad pitt-nya kejebak.
 

william sommerset: Ernest hemingway once wrote: The world is a fine place and worth fighting for. I believe with the second part.

gue dapet paket hari ini *thank you *. di dalemnya selain ada buku , ada kertas yg tulisannya gini:

Too often, we lose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and bitch-slap that mother@#?!&! upside the head

i visited a friend of mine who a worked in a spa somewhere in petitenget area. she's got a very very nice working place!! the spa was a kind of morrocian style, using terrazzo everywhere...

 

they even have treatment rooms with different colors.

   

we also went up to the roof ... from there you can see the neighbouring rooves *of course*. it was just a few step from la luciola and petitenget beach but too bad we couldn't see the beach or ocean from there.
 

 
then we went to galeria to see x2: x-men united. last week i was in lombok so i didn't have change to watch it. cool movies about mutant. the story was just ok, but i like the animation. especially that guy who always speak german all the time. what was his name? kurt wagner? the transporter? i like the way he moves with black smoke .

baran
i know this movie from slesta's blog. from the same director as children of heaven. about baran (rain), pengungsi afganistan di iran yg nyamar jadi laki2 spy bisa kerja di tempat konstruksi bangunan. soalnya bapaknya kakinya patah, ibunya udah meninggal & dia masih punya adek2 gitu .
tapi akhirnya dia keluar soalnya ketahuan petugas pemerintah, dia kan pekerja gelap. tapi akhirnya temen kerjanya yg dulunya benci sama dia jadi nolongin. lumayan bagus kok filmnya.

three kings
filmnya biasa aja , tentang setelah perang teluk, beberapa tentara amerika coba nyari emas yg dicuri saddam dari kuwait. ketemu sih emasnya, tapi mereka juga jadinya hrs bantuin pengungsi2 irak yg mau nyebrang ke iran.
 

 
the good girl
filmnya jennifer aniston, dia disini jadi justine, yg kerja di supermarket yg hidupnya membosankan . udah punya suami selama 7 tahun but he's like a pig, talk, but doesn't think. sampe akhirnya dia kenalan sama temen kerja yg namanya holden *diambil dari nama tokoh di
the catcher in the rye*. udah gitu mereka punya affair . biasa banget deh filmnya.

to lia. my best balinese friend. kalo mau ada party, traktiran, or whatever, minggu depan aja yah . jadwal gue minggu ini padat *selfish*.

Little Mermaid duduk di atas batu berwarna cokelat tua yang di bawahnya diberi batuan tambahan untuk menyangga dan memberi ketinggian bagi batu besar tempat patung diletakkan. Diam membisu di tepi pantai di mulut selat sejak ditempatkan di sana pada 23 Agustus 1913. Patung dengan wajah melankolis yang hanya setinggi 1,25 m itu dibuat pematung Edvard Eriksen dengan model penari Ellen Prince. Dibuat atas gagasan Calr Jacobsen, seorang pengusaha kaya di Kopenhagen dan di persembahkan untuk memperindah kota Kopenhagen dan sang waktu kemudian membuatnya menjadi lambang Denmark.
[Lousiana Lousiana - Jamal]

semalem gue baru nyelesain baca buku lousiana lousiana. lumayan sih . eh biasa aja ding . lumayannya soalnya dia banyak ngebahas tentang desain produk & arsitektur trus settingnya di kopenhagen, denmark. yg bikin biasa, randi, tokoh utamanya seperti punya segalanya: cakep, pinter, & kaya. ceritanya tentang randi yg setelah lulus sma di cirebon nerusin sekolah
 
arsitektur di kopenhagen. jadi ceritanya tentang kehidupan dia disana, sekolahnya, pacar2nya, dll selama 7 atau 8 thn *gue lupa*.

  ^^THE ROAD HOME
from the director of raise the red lantern. film ini bagus banget . gue sampe terharu banget

so today won't be a lovely day for me, huh?

Some rather depressing information could come your way, dear Pisces, but take care not to take it at face value. All might not be as bad as it seems. Check out the facts before making yourself crazy. This is not a good day for visiting or running errands in your near neighborhood, as the traffic could be a nightmare. Anything you try to read today could seem boring, so movies are likely to make the best entertainment at this time.

so last night i watched mr. rice's secret. had no idea about this movie, just rent it 2 days ago. it was ok, but not good either . about owen, a boy who's dying because of cancer. but he was really afraid of death. he wanted to live forever. mr. rice, a friend of his, just died . before he was dead, he wrote a letter for owen, with some codes and all. at
 
last owen can find some liquid that can make him live forever, but instead of having it for himself, he gave it his leukemia's friend that he used to hate so much.
