two weeks ago, i planned to watched another movie but end up watching this one. just found out that this movie was from a tv serial in tv-7 *but of course you can't get this tv station in bali*. lizzie, after having a nightmare graduation day from middle school, had a trip with her school to rome. there, she found out that one of italian the most famous singer was exactly look like her.

a sad ending story about a city girl named xiu xiu during the china's cultural revolution. she was sent to the countryside to learn horse breeding. after her time was up, no one picked her up to get back to her town. she couldn't go back by herself either, because she need the paper and stuff.

about queen elizabeth (cate blanchett) in her early years as a queen. she got the throne after her catholic sister, mary abdicated.

the sisters (shu qi and vicki zhao) was inherited from their killed father a computer program about something with window to the world where you can watch someone using satelite. an undercover detective (karen mok) come comes face-to-face to fight with them. but then they became partner after karen mok was blackmailed.

a boring movie about rainforest somewhere in brazilian amazon. chico mendes (raul julia) fight in the side of rubber tappers who worked in the rainforest against a company who want to built road by cutting the forrest .

veronika, a girl who has everything: young, pretty, has plenty of attractive boyfriends, a steady job, and a loving family, decides to die one day by taking overdose sleeping pills. she used sleeping pills because:

Shooting, jumping off a high building, hanging, none of these
options suited her feminine nature. Women, when they kill themselves, choose far more romantic methods - like slashing their wrists or taking an overdose sleeping pills. Abadoned princesses and Hollywood actress have provided numerous examples of this.

she didn't die but woke up in a
mental hospital called villete. there, she found out eventhough she didn't die, her heart got injured, so she would die soon anyway. then she made friends with some patients there like zedka, who was actually cured but decided to remain inside villete because she loved making an astral journey by using insulin shock, mari, and eduard, a schizophrenic ambassador's son.

A schizophrenic is a person who already has a natural tendency to absent himself from this world, until some factors, sometimes serious, sometimes superficial, depending on the individual circumtances, forces him to create his own reality.

when her time got closer, she realised how
special and precious her life was.

At that moment, she hated everything: herself, the world, the chair in front of her, the broken radiator in one of the corridors, people who were perfect, criminals. She was in a mental hospital and so could allow herself to feel things that people usually hide from themselves, because we are all brought up only to love, to accept, to look for ways round things, to avoid conflict. Veronika hated everything, but mainly she hated the way she had lived her life, never bothering to discover the hundreds of other Veronikas who lived inside her and who were interesting, mad, curious, brave, bold.

Then she started to feel hatred for the person she loved most in the world: her mother. A wonderful wife who worked all day and washed the dishes at night, sacrificing her own life so her daughter would have a good education, know how to play the piano and the violin, dress like a princess, have the latest trainers and jeans, while she mended the same old dress she had worn for years.

'How can I hate someone who only ever give me love?' though Veronika, confused, trying to check her feeling. But it was too late the hatred the love she had been given, because it has asked for nothing in return which was absurd, unreal, against the law of nature.

The love asking for nothing in return had managed to feel her with guilt, with a desire to fulfil another's expectations, even if that meant giving up everything she had dreamed of for herself. It was a love that for years had tried to hide from her the difficulties and the corruption that existed in the world ignoring the fact, that one day, she would have to find this out and would then be defenseless against them.

And her father? She hated her father too, because, unlike her mother, who worked all the time, he knew how to live, he took her to bars and to the theatre, they had fun together, and when he was still young, she had loved him secretly, not the way one loves a father, but as a man. She hated him he had always been so charming and so open with everyone except her mother, the only person who really deserved such treatment.

She hated everything. The library with its pile books full of explanation about life, the school that had forced her spend whole evenings learning algebra, even though she didn't know a single person, apart from teachers and mathematicians, who needed algebra in order to be happy. Why did they make them learn so much algebra or geometry or any of that mountain of other useless things?

She had always spent her life waiting for something: for her father to come back from work, for the letter from the lover that never arrived, for her end-of year exams, for the train, the bus, the phone call, the holiday, the end of holidays. Now she was going to have to wait for death, which had made an appointment with her.

3 posts a day ?
does she really
has nothing to do ?
*this is the time you
should start thinking that alaya shouldn't get paid from the company she works for, because she spends her office hours for writing blog*.

but i
don't want to dissapoint the movies lover like me *excuse *.

a sad movie from the same director as the road home. about a thirteen-years-old subtitude teacher in a remote village in a mountain in china. they were really poor so they have to use the chalk as economical as possible. before the real teacher left, he said that the number of the student should stay the same. not one less. one day a boy, the class's trouble maker, left the class because his family was poor
 
and couldn't pay their debt. he was taken to the city. the young subsitute teacher felt responsible for it, so she looked for the boy in the city. it was terrible journey since she has no money. at last the director of a tv station help her to find him through a tv program . not only she found her student, their school also get many donations from the tv audience.

 
an iranian movie about a woman who had a past that her husband didn't know. she was an activist and fell in love to a married man. it was just an ok movie. i often couldn't read the subtitle *sorry, but i don't speak persian*.

'Honestly,' she thought, 'no one ever knows where Slovenia is.'

But Slovenia existed nonetheless, and it was outside, inside, in the mountains around her and in the square she was looking out at: Slovenia was her country.


-- Veronika Decides to Die - Paulo Coelho

so
where's slovenia? this is what i got from here:

Slovenia (in Slovenian, Slovenija), republic in south-eastern Europe, on the Balkan Peninsula, bordered on the north by Austria, on the north-east by Hungary, on the south-east and south by Croatia, and on the west by Italy and the Adriatic Sea. Formerly a constituent republic of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Slovenia proclaimed its independence in June 1991. It joined the UN in May 1992. The republic has an area of 20,254 sq km (7,820 sq mi). Ljubljana is the capital and largest city.


or you can get
more detail information from CIA fact book.

actually
slovenia has something to do with me.
i lived there for 2 weeks, for a
summer school for piano.
it was in a city called
koper *look at the map , it's below left*, near italian border, by the gulf of venice.

there were about 12 people from around the world attended the school. we practiced piano
8 hours a day. and it was suck . i mean not the school, the friends and the city. they were great. but practising piano for 8 hours a day was really suck! so the result, i skipped the class many times to buy ice cream, walked around the city, or go to the beach *it explained why i didn't play well during the concert *. we were like really under pressure .

until one night, five of us, decided to go to
trieste in italy. koper was only ten minutes from italian border. with my diplomatic passport, i had no problem entering the border, but some friends of mine who were from greece and lebanon had problem. but thanks to our fabulous piano teacher. with her ability to speak in 6 languages, blond hair and blue eyes, she can made a deal with the italian police border. we could enter italy, but had to come back before the midnight. so all we did was went to trieste, drank coffee in a cafe somewhere, then back to slovenia.

but
the peak of all, at the end of second week, we had a concert. one of us decided not to play because she wasn't ready, but it was a concert that we will never forget for thousand years...

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share...
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence.

from the same director as the scent of green papaya, still setting in vietnam, about three sisters and their brother. they were very close together, prepared the celebration of their mother's death . i like the interior of the rooms, their simple hair styles, their monochrome clothes, the song they sang, and the music the music they play everytime they wake up in the morning.
but the movie was so slow , the scent of green papaya was still better.

a cool movie about someone who has a short memory lost. it means his brain can't store new memory . he forgot anything he just did. the last thing he remember was the death of his wife , so he tattooed all the informations of his wife's murderer on his body. be careful if you watched this movie. it played backward.
 

 
i think i read the book or watched the movie somewhere. but don't really remember. it based on the novel by laura esquivel. about tita, whose mother didn't let her to get married because as the youngest daughter, she has to take care of her mother until the day she died. one day, a guy (pedro) asked to marry her, but her mother doesn't let her and married her eldest daughter to pedro instead . the guy accepted because that's the only way he can get close to tita. because tita
was in charge in
