New Years Are a Chance for a Beginning

Friday, December 30th, 2005

New years are a chance for a beginning
Even when there hasn’t been an end.
Wheels turn in an interminable bend,
Yet, marked in one spot, seem to wobble spinning.
Each year we hope to do a little better
Although we know that really nothing’s changed.
Reason thinks that everything’s arranged,
So we must dream if we would fate unfetter.

Felice Anno Nuovo, Shinnen Omedetou Gozaimasu, Bonne Annee, Hauoli Makahiki Hou, Manigong Bagong Taon, Xin Nian Kuai Le, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

New Year’s Best Laid Plans

Thursday, December 29th, 2005

Hk_1030304_img_chinese_new_year
I know, New Year’s Eve is still two days ahead (today is Dec, 29 at 19.40 WIB. location: office).. but i cant stop thinking about it..

Last year, i spent the transition at home… watch live shows in my room after a feasty meals with my family… Therefore, i want a different new year’s eve this year… bigger.. better… and more memorable.
Some people wud think my thought is so….. teenagers *Eeew…*. It’s okay, no problemo… I have my own reason. Wanna know?

Well… FYI.. this year great things happened at me *though it started with such a devastating broke-up*. First of all was on February.. i’ve got this job… the job that suits my hobby… the job i really love.. It’s like a dream come true.

On March… i met again with someone that had changed my live..
July… is the month where i reached a quarter of century age… scary but… kewl!
On the same month… i found out that.. there’s someone out there for me… somewhere..
By the end of November… finally… i got the chance to visit Bali for the very first time *though on my first day there, i knew that i’d overrated about this exotic island*
This year i also made friends with some great people… few of them are my best friends now.. :)
That’s just small amount of the great things. There are plenty of more that i cant spill it all here..
So… i think it’s reasonable for me to have a wonderful way to end this year. I have 3 plans to celebrate the night:
Plan A: Go to Sukabumi, to my mom. Where all the family gathered and apparently we’re about to have a wild barbeque party with plenty of foods, snacks and firecrackers!! *and i can meet my adorable Ken!!!*
Plan B: Stay in Bandung and celebrate it with my closest friends.. we’ll hang out, dine and burn firecrackers.
Plan C: Go to XXX or stay in Bandung or anywhere … with … :P
Best laid plans, huh? But, unfortunately…. My work doesn’t think so. Guess what? I’ve works on saturday!!!!! damn! Know what?? i won’t give up that easily… i’ll find a way to escape from that silly thing which is actually not my duty… Just wait… I’ll talk to ya later…err… next year maybe.. My boss calls me.. ciao!!

The Way You Look Tonite

Tuesday, December 27th, 2005

Someday, when I’m awfully low
When the world is cold
I will feel a glow just thinking of you
And the way you look tonight

You’re lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft
There is nothing for me but to love you
And the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart

Lovely, never ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won’t you please arrange it?
‘Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

With each word your tenderness grows
Tearing my fears apart
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose
It touches my foolish heart

Lovely, don’t you ever change
Keep that breathless charm
Won’t you please arrange it?
‘Cause I love you
Just the way you look tonight

miss ya….

How kids descibe the L word

A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds, “What does LOVE mean?” The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think:

So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands got arthritis too. That’s love

——————————————————————————–
“You really shouldn’t say ‘I love you’ unless you mean it. But if you mean it, you should say it a lot. People forget.” Jessica - age 8
——————————————————————————–

And the final one — Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four year old child whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old gentleman’s yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his Mother asked what he had said to the neighbor, the little boy said, “Nothing, I just helped him cry

Nine Dragons

Friday, December 2nd, 2005

Setelah sukses membesut film terakhirnya yang bertema cinta, kali ini Rudi Soedjarwo kembali menyutradarai sebuah film action. “Manusia terbaik di Indonesia adalah seorang penjahat,” pernyataan yang sangat kontroversial ini dipakai Rudi Soedjarwo sebagai tagline dalam film terbarunya: 9 Naga. Melalui 9 Naga, sutradara papan atas Indonesia ini menawarkan satu solusi yang menurutnya akan dapat memperbaiki kondisi mental bangsa kita yang kini sedang terpuruk. Begitu yakin Rudi dengan pesan yang akan disampaikannya hingga dia berharap setiap penonton yang menyaksikan 9 Naga dapat menggunakan isi film ini sebagai bahan perenungan pribadi masing-masing. Karenanya, 9 Naga menjadi film Rudi yang paling ambisius sampai saat ini; mulai dari sisi cerita, sinematografi sampai akting para pemainnya.

Menyadari pentingnya misi yang dipikul 9 Naga, Rudi kemudian menggandeng Monty Tiwa, seorang penulis muda untuk menggarap skenarionya. Andi Rianto, yang pernah bekerja sama dengan Rudi di film Mengejar Matahari juga kembali dipercaya untuk mengisi musik 9 Naga. Rudi pun tak main-main dalam memilih para pemain yang akan memerankan karakter-karakter dalam film tersebut. Melalui sentuhan tangannya, Rudi Soedjarwo sudah berhasil menghasilkan bintang-bintang muda berbakat dalam perfilman Indonesia dewasa ini. Reputasi tersebut berlanjut dalam 9 Naga. Maka terpilihlah nama-nama seperti Lukman Sardi, Donny Alamsyah, Fauzi Baadillah, Desi Floresita, Ajeng Sardi dan Marcel Anthony. Selain itu barisan muda ini didukung pula oleh aktor-aktor senior seperti Dorman Borisman dan Toro Margens.

Cerita 9 Naga disusun sedemikian rupa sehingga mengalir bebas, tanpa perlu interpretasi yang rumit. Penonton tidak akan bertemu dengan gaya penuturan yang sulit. Drama kehidupan para karakter di 9 Naga pun dibalut dengan sentuhan-sentuhan action yang realistis dan seru. Adrenalin para penonton 9 Naga akan meningkat seiringan dengan letupan-letupan senjata api dan perkelahian yang mengisi jalan cerita.
Saat berita ini dirilis, Rudi dan timnya telah bergerak ke lima kota besar untuk mencari pemain-pemain muda berbakat untuk bermain di sekuel dari 9 Naga. Bagi mereka yang berminat mencoba mengikuti open casting tersebut, dapat menghampiri lokasi kasting dengan melihat jadwal dan berita-berita lain seputar 9 Naga bisa di klik disini

Menurut rencana, 9 Naga akan dirilis pada tanggal 12 Januari 2006. Jangan lupa untuk datang dan mengerti apa arti dari “Manusia terbaik di Indonesia adalah seorang penjahat”.

Eragon_book
Udah pada baca <Eragon belom? bagus loh… Buku cerita yang gak kalah serunya dengan Harry Potter atau Lord of the Rings. Ceritanya tentang remaja penunggang naga.
Buku itu ditulis oleh Christopher Paolini saat ia masih berumur 17 tahun. Great huh?

Nah..seperti juga Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings atau The Chronicles of Narnia… buku yang satu ini juga akan diangkat ke layar lebar dan akan beredar akhir 2006 nanti. Lumayan menghiburlah mengingat next year there won’t be any Potter movie (menurut sumber terpercaya).

I think Eragon would be THE NEXT BEST THING!

Check this out and get stunned!:
