My Personal Blog: Mei 2017

Wednesday, 10th
First day where Critical Eleven is officially held in the theaters. It must've been very very exciting for Ka Ika Natassa's fan, including me, my sis, and a friend of her, Ka Aviska. Fangirling over a book is a normal thing. Even though some of her book got this "General Warning" on the bottom of the cover. "May cause prolonged delusion, hyper-romanticism, temporary insanity, insomnia, uncontrollable giggles, spontaneous crying, etc" and it does killing us readers. The first page i read on C.E, it gave me the feels "this book is going to be a good one" and it is. The words she put on it, it's already interesting and the kind of writing that can pull the reader to not stop reading. As if the book is saying "turn on the next page, read me". It gave me that feels. The fact that the movie is born today, i couldn't get more excited. Ka Ika was right about how real Adinia played as Anya and Reza Rahadian played as Ale. I was crying emotionally out of all the sudden, i don't even know why, but even my heart aches and i cried pretty hard. It happened as "Sekali Lagi" by Isyana played on the scene where Ale and Anya tries to move on with their life through Aidan's death. Honestly, it doesn't even looked like Adinia and Reza is acting it out. They brought the character alive so much that it looked so real that you can feel as if you're in their position. This movie made my heart aches so bad, but at the same time, it showed me the warm love they have and how they're starting to accept again.

menjiwai. Bisa dilihat matanya rada bengkak.

Grandpas. There's a moment that flashes back inside my mind when i was in those days back in Perth, Australia. Through Autumn or whatever weather it is, i always enjoy sitting on the front yard of my house, feeling the wind in the afternoon, looking through my roses garden from afar and sometimes, seeing grandpas walking alone on the sidewalk in front of my house. Seeing the face of an old man, you can tell a lot about them. No, not really. But still, they can be grumpy, sad, and also, face of loneliness. The fact that parents in overseas always being left by their children until they're getting old because their children became too busy having a new family. I kinda disagree with that, I mean, why not still living in one house with your parents while they're still here? They can do a lot of help, taking care of you and your granchildren at once because they've been through it all. Even my mom is still living in one roof with my grandma, and i'm hoping i can be like that too.

Anyway, Goethe Institute is throwing this events called "Europe On Screen", it's showing us from classics to the latest award-winning films including this movie which i've known the book (but haven't finish it) "A Man Called Ove".

I, on this Friday night, would love to company my dad to watch this. It started from 7.20pm until 10ish. The result was really good, the movie told us about the reason why he became those grumpy old man whom everybody's frightened of. He went to his beloved wife's grave every single day, who had died because of cancer, replacing wilted roses to the new ones and telling her stories about his everyday life. Every 9am, he would go around his neighbourhood to clean up the trash to keep the enviroment clean. Repeating the same thing everyday, he always tried to kill himself so he can catch up with his wife, Sonja, because she's the only woman that crosses his mind, every single day. The rest of the scene told us about his whole background. Truth is, his soul is not as bad as his face which is very irritating. When he died, everyone from the neighbourhood gather for him at the church, showing their love and care for Ove, who's truly been a kind-hearted old man with a grumpy face. He even helped others even though he felt annoyed being asked for help. That's what i learned from the movie, "don't judge a book by its cover". Why look at the bad side of a person if you can look at their good side?

Went to Labspro with my baby aka the bestfriend who goes to Labschool so yeah, for sure, she got to attend to support her friends who's going to perform as well and also company me because i wanna see Kahitna, i haven't see them for a long time, they may be old but yeah, their song isn't. They were also a few artist which is GAC, Hivi! and suddengly Maudy Ayunda came to promote this new indie card and also sang her new song about chasing a dream. Finally, as always, Kahitna always perform the last because (obviously) it's like the best(?) Walaupun semua lagunya sama aja pesannya, tentang cinta atau patah hati atau dan berbagai cerita cinta yang lain, walaupun liriknya sama-sama aja kayak lagu mereka yang lain, tapi tetep aja. Kahitna selalu bisa untuk bikin hati gue senang.
