Sesuai dengan berbagai ramalan dan prediksi… Brokeback Mountain berhasil mengungguli para pesaingnya dalam 63rd Annual Golden Globe Awards dalam kategori Best Motion Picture Drama. Dalam hajatan tahunan Hollywood Foreign Press Association tersebut, Brokeback Mountain, film koboi gay yang dibintangi oleh Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michelle Williams dan Anne Hathaway ini juga memenangkan dua awards lain, yaitu Best Director, Best Screenplay serta Best Song.

Sementara itu biopik tentang musisi country Johnny Cash, Walk the Line juga secara meyakinkan berhasil memenuhi ramalan para kritikus dengan mengantungi 3 dari 4 award utama, yaitu Best Motion Picture Musical/Comedy serta Best Leading Actor dan Actress masing-masing untuk para bintang muda Joaquin Phoenix dan Reese Witherspoon.

Dari kategori televisi, meskipun keempat bintangnya (Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher dan Marcia Cross) dinominasikan sebagai Best Actress in TV Series or Comedy, namun Desperate Housewives harus merelakan piala tersebut jatuh ke tangan satu-satunya nominee selain mereka, yaitu aktris Mary Louise Parker melalui film Weeds. Kendati begitu, serial yang sempat tayang di Indosiar tersebut masih dapat berbngga hati dengan terpilihnya mereka sebagai Best TV Series - Musical or Comedy.

Sedangkan Lost tampaknya masih terlalu tangguh bagi pesaing-pesaingnya, termasuk kuda hitam Commander in Chief dan Rome dalam kategori Best TV Series - Drama.

These are the winners:

Cecil B. DeMille Award: Anthony Hopkins

I love Walking (wô’kĭng)

In fact, in my life i walk a lot. I can’t remember at what age i walked for the very first time. But mom told me that i was a quick-walker.

First time i really enjoy walking was when i was junior high… coz my house is not so far from the school… and the road i’d always taken is full of tall and thick trees… Ever since, i enjoy walking.

I walk every morning to angkot-stop (if there’s a bus-stop..why can’t there be an angkot-stop?) when i go to work and every night from angkot stop to my cozy bed.
When i have problems… i usually take a walk at quite night alone and i’ll feel better. When things getting worse at the office… i usually walk through Taman Sari to Wasukencana (though it’s not a pedestrian-friendly area) and see the activities around and i’ll feel whole lot better after.

I love to walk under the tender rain… it feels great when the water touches my skin and the cold wind blows my neck. Though it gives me flu, headache and fever, but i love it.

I love to walk barefeet on the narrow path in the rice field. The mud is so fun yet dirty and slippery… so i have to balance my steps and concentrate… or else i’ll fall.

I love walking on the beach… Pangandaran, Pelabuhan Ratu, Kuta, Losari, Teluk Bayur, Anyer, everywhere… and feels the sands tickling my barefeet. The sound of the sea and the view of the horizon make me appreciate this gorgeous life of mine.

Let’s walk with me…

Can i be your friend ’till the end. Can I walk with you through your life… - Erykah Badu

When I woke up on today’s freezing morning, I felt a lil’ bit hard to make myself stand up and go to the bathroom. Still, there’s no clue

After taking a shower … put on some cologne, stood up in front of the mirror, I just realized something. My inner screamed: “Oh Sweet Holy Mary Geez..!!!!” and I was like “Look at those fats hangin’ out here and there! You look like that Eric Cartmanguy from South Park”. Aaaaaargh!!!

Yeah.. I finally got the clue… I become fatter and fatter everyday. I look chubbier than before. That’s why it’s so strong>heavy… even to lift my own arse.

I need to execute my (every) new year’s resolution… Be healthier, thinner and… get some muscle… I wonder if I can do it this year, coz these lazy genes of mine that lives in every inch of my wide body keep telling me “it’s too tiring”; “u have no time for that, pal”; “yoga is waaaay too expensive” etc..etc… And here’s the result: The chubby-fatty-slowly-heavy me *sigh*

Hope I can do better this year… at least now I have plan to jog and swim every week. It’s cheap, easy burn more calories than any other wasting-time-and-money sports *so i’ve read.. somewhere*
