what an awkward i was…

yesterday i went to Awal’s birthday and brought him a birthday cake. ternyata di acaranya, dia undang anak2 angkatan dia..cuma gw, kukuh dan ratna yg lintas angkatan…hehehe. it was about 15 to 18 people came around. i was very late, so i miss the "dine" (and got really starved at night!!). and there was goes the "birthday-first cake" moment, and i was shocked when it was me he choose to accept that first cut!! hahaha…i was kinnda supprised and being awkwared when all eyes get stared at me pointing my gutz out!! emoticon hahaha…i was afraid to swept-seeing the people around, and suddenly shifting my awkwardness to a small chat with kukuh (still try to ignore others…i was a truly great pretender!!!haha..). And what made it more ridiculous was, Awal didn’t gave the cake to others, he just ate the second cut and just let the cake round it self between the people…Gosshhhh!!!

kinnda flattered…  emoticon  … huhuhu… thx ya Wal… emoticon

Beautiful TransformationMarch 19, 2008 11:41 am

Last night I was having call with Syam. Damn!! It was such a really long time not seing him. I really miss him so much. It’s about a year (perhaps more) we’ve not seen each other, or even talk on the phone. We were busy each other made things in order in our life. Last time we met were on his visiting to Jakarta in early moment I started to work in the bureau.

We were talking on many thing and almost took half an hour. I was quite surprised the moment he told me that he’s goin’ to marry soon. After so many struggling and heart broken, he found his soulmate yet. But I bit doubt it, coz he told me that he do the Ta’aruf way (the Islamic way in finding future wife/husband without having date or engage phase. They were introduced each other by the person they trust and know very well whose recommending the candidate, learn the bio of each person, and if there’s any agreeable continued, they’ll going to meet each other.). But I think, perhaps that’s the way God gave him a right person.

He told me that he was abandoned by his ex-girlfriend after so many sacrifice he made (And I heard bout this too from Rici). He seems always got in trouble with girls he loved. I bit confuse ‘bout how life’s goes…Syam was a kind of a man who would do any thing for the one he love, but most person he love seems like to disappointed and hurt him. Left and abandon him away. But he never gave up (even though I know how hard it was for him to keep his head up high after, and rare to complain). Life is funny!! There’s a man who would ready to do any thing for the one he loves and sacrifice almost whole of his life, but all the thing he got in the end was disappointed, hurt and left. While I, the man who always pessimist about Love, but often to fall in with (most of) wrong person, also (often) to end up in misery, regret, and abandoned. Is there a place for guy like us be able to find our true love…a person who really want and ready perfectly to us…Gossshhh!!! That’s why I really hate to fall in Love!!!

I was quite touched when I heard how hurt he was in his relationship before…poor Syam!! But we laugh after, seing how stupid he was, fallen too deep to a wrong person and sacrifice too much to a girl that didn’t Love him anymore. Hahaha…I think he better reconsider me to be his boyfriend…hahaha…(coz he told me that how lucky I am if I got him!!)…you wish that dude!! I told him to better be luck next time, and ALWAYS remember to use his brain everytime he fall in again. Love may blind, but not fool, only when you want to use your brain to think!

I miss his family hospitality everytime I stay abroad during my holiday in Bali, especially his mother who always asked me to eat lot of food she made everytime I was there. Syam always act to be “look-good” (even though sometimes he look quite good…hahaha!!!), and truly has a confident inside him. He got a pure Balinesse accent for a Borneo man. He’s honest, caring and love to make happy people around him (especially his closed friend…and I counted!!). He loves to make us laugh…ouuww…I miss him so much…and I miss my fellas while I was lived in Bali. Syam asked me to came by once, he’s lonely now in Bali. Our friends has separated. Only me whose lucky have Shinta here in Jakarta. Rici is in Portugal with her husband, so is Jose in Singapore. Frank is in East Timor while Yunita is still finishing her study at Jogja. Diah live in Bandung now. And I don’t know where Juwita is…

Roled by Felicity Huffman (Desperates Housewifes) and Kevin Zegers. Bree (Huffman), a born-again Christian and a pre-operative, male-to-female transsexual, hold down two jobs and save every penny so that she can pay for one last operation that will make her a woman at last. One day, however, she receives a strange phone call. It appears that on the other side is Toby (Zegers), apparently her son, who must be the product of a somewhat clumsy sexual encounter years ago when she was a man. He stays in New York, incarcerated. Toby also has childhood sexual abasements from his step father. Bree flies from LA to New York in order to get the boy out of jail as one of the condition before she gets her pronouncement letter to do the sexual-transformation operation. The journey goes and things happened as she tried to covering her status as a transsexual female, and the fact that she was Toby’s father whose he’s been looking for. A Truly great story!! I remember when Toby tells that he loves her after the journey they been through, and how he told that he wants to marry her after he kissing her… before knowing that he fells in love with his own dad. You must seen this movie also, coz the story will lead us to understand the live of a transsexuals are. They become this way not because it was an option, but it’s a destiny they should take with.

 

It won award at Berlin International Film Festival, Deauville Film Festival, and other. Directed by Duncan Tucker.

Huby, my love… Let’s fly away…

Maybe beyond the smoke and the fighting, there’s a better place.

Maybe there really is a Paradise where we can just love each other.

I don’t know…

I wonder if we ever really had a chance?

If…even for a moment, we had a chance…

Lulu and Yali will probably give the papers a photo of the two of us.

Maybe the one from the rave, where we look all high and happy…

Maybe people will see how beautiful we look, and understand how stupid this wars are…

No…they probably never will…

(Ashraf)

That’s was a beautiful thought from Ashraf before he blown his self in suicide bombing.

The Bubble (2005) told about love between Israeli and Palestinian in the middle of war between Israel and Palestine. Three young Israelis, two guys and a girl, share an apartment in Tel Aviv’s hippest neighborhood : Headstrong Lulu, who works in a bath product boutique; Flamboyant Yali, who manage a trendy café and brooding music store clerk Noam, who spends his weekends serving at check-points in the National Guard. When Noam meets and falls in love with a Palestinian man named Ashraf, he and his friends conspire to help Ashraf stay on in Tel Aviv illegally. They participate in a beach rally (a rave one), celebrating the peaceful coexistence, and calling for an end to the occupation of Palestinian territories (and against the war between two country). But ultimately, their carefully constructed utopia is shattered by the political and social realities of the Middle East, and the constant outbursts of violence.

I Really Recommended this movie to a MUST SEEN one. It’s a truly dramatic but full with joy and Love. So touching and dragging over your mood. And the soundtracks really cool…I wonder where I could have it…It awarded in Berlin International Film Festival, and other awards. Roled by Ohad Knoller, Alon Friedman, Daniela Virtzer and Yousef ‘Joe’ Sweid, and directed by Eytan Fox.

I was planning to find DVD tittled P.S. I Love You roled by Gerard Buttler and Hillary Swank, coz I haven’t watch the movie yet. But I couldn’t find any of it. So I bought other DVD, and was interested to some award-winning tittled. I took 7 of it and I’m gonna tell you my point-of-view in my simple mind of those movie..

 

First movie I watched was Amelie, a French movie which nominated for 5 Academy Awards. It’s quite beautiful movie (just reminded me to A Beautiful Life roled by Roberto Benigni), played by Audrey Tautou and Mathieu Kassovitz, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. It’s a fanciful comedy about young women named Amelie Poulain, who discreetly orchestrates the lives of people around her, and creating a world exclusively of her own making. She help people around her, such returning a memorizing-childhood heritage-box to the owner, helping her work-mate having boyfriend, or give a lesson to intimidated-boss who likes to embarrassing his worker and such. Until one day she met a man who likes to collect ripped photo-box picture and work at local sex store. The story getting fun when we saw how Amelie thought and did things on her way. But it goes to dramatic and beautiful when it touch the romantic side of Amelie (especially at the end scenes when she was trying to get close to her man…). It’s one of MUST SEEN movies to people who loves a GOOD movie. And I really love the end part…huhuhu…so touching…

Ini film sebenarnya yang bener-bener pengen nonton ituh si Ratna…ngga’ bangget yah!!! Yaudah lah, dari pada gw mati boring di hotel (sebenernya si guest-house yg setara ma hotel bintang 3…biar gaya aje gw sebut hotel..ahahaha!!!), mending gw ikut die aje…gak rugi2 banget ini, lha wong dibayarin…hahaha…akhirnya berhubung gak ada kendaraan buat gw ke theater (hayyahh!!), gw minta lah si Awal buat jemput gw dipenginapan malam itu. Dengan sandal jepit ngembat punya temen sekamar gw plus penampilan yg blum berubah sejak pagi (hehehe…g boleh sirik!!), brangkat lah kita ke bioskop. Well, gosh!! Kenapa banyak banget masyarakat Serpong yang amat sangat tertarik sama ni phelem (udah 4 teater di buka, masih aja dapetnya yg jam 22.45!! GILING kan!!)…padahal, dari beberapa orang (yg udah menyaksikan film ini) yg gw minta komentar ttg ni film, sebagian besar memang kecewa. But that’s the fact…the famoucity of this book made people expected TOO MUCH to the movie, which in my own perspective, bagian ke tiga-perempat of whole movie wasn’t too bad lah (justru menimbulkan pemikiran dan penyadaran bagi diri gw sendiri…), yaitu bagian saat Fakhri difitnah memperkosa. Well, that part was the best scenes, especially the moment at the jail or at Aisah ask Fakhri to having Poligamy. Ya…cukup menyentuh lah…But the rest…SUCK!!! Sinetron abis!!! Secara lu ambil setting di Mesir, bukan berarti sah hampir semua kegiatan dan aktifitas berbahasa Indonesia (hanya karena ini film Indonesia). Lu cuman bakal nemuin bahasa Arabic (Or Mesir…I don’t know which one is right..) hanya dalam percakapan-percakapan singkat dan ayat-ayat Al-Quran (selebihnya ngga’…even di persidangan pun berbahasa Indo…get a life!!!). Gw belum tau gimana bukunya, tapi yang jelas gw gak terlalu suka filmnya. Ngga’ dapet bangget!!!
Yang gw suka dari film ini mungkin karakter dari Maria and Nurul…they play well. Dan mungkin yang paling bagus. Untuk karakter Fakhri sendiri, even dia jago banget nangisnya, tetep kurang kena euy…mmpphhh…sayang sebenernya, karena menurut teman-teman, apa yang ada di buku tidak tergambar indah di film tersebut…dan saya yang hanya berada di posisi penonton hanya bisa berkomentar, apa lagi nonton secara gratis (ya untungnya sih begitu, jadi kritiknya gak sadis-sadis banget…hahaha). Over all…biar ditawarin untuk nonton sekali lagi gratisan jg gw mungkin gak akan ragu2 untuk menolaknya…hehehe…wasting time aje…uuppzzz, sworry…ya, ini kan hanya berdasarkan sudut pandang orang awam penikmat film2 berkualitas…hehe. Like it or not, all up to you lah..

Words that inspired me…

“karena Allah sedang berbicara kepada mu…untuk ikhlas, dan bersabar.” (Aisyah)
“Cinta dan keinginan untuk memiliki sangatlah berbeda.” (Maria)
“Jodoh tidak turun dari langit…melainkan dari hati…” (Fakhri)
Kena banget sih buat keadaan gw… L

When I Fall...What Was It FeltMarch 4, 2008 11:51 am

"aku tidak merasa kalah dalam penantian ini..", aku hanya merasa lelah yang teramat sangat. setelah mengurung hatiku dalam cinta yang tak pernah terjawab.
seperti duri yang tidak pernah kusadari seberapa dalam meninggalkan luka perih. menikmati sakitnya sampai tak terasa lagi luka telah mengalirkan darah. begitu dalamnya cinta sampai tak bisa kubedakan lagi mana tangis, mana tawa. dua-duanya jadi satu dalam butiran nelangsa. terbata dalam kata, tertatih dalam jejaknya. aku mulai kecewa. perlahan tapi pasti tertahan tapi tak punya daya aku untuk kembali. aku mungkin telah pergi tapi tak pernah berlari dari mu…..
