2011

Happy New Year 2011. It's already 2011. Hope everyone has wonderful holiday. Mine is just ordinary, didn't go anywhere, just went around this town but I pretty enjoyed it.

However, so many things come in my mind, so I guess 2011 will be a busy time for me. I don't want to waste my time doing nothing. So, I start myself to read some entrepreneur books and think a lot about it. Yes, I want to start doing before I finish university. So, I have to use my time wisely.

Anyway, I've watched some interesting movies lately. Guliver's Travel was funny, good family movie. Narnia was impressive too. Then I got some horror like The Last Exorcism, which I thought it wasn't that good but still okay for a horror / thriller movie. I really want to watch The Social Network, but I couldn't find it anywhere. A lot of movie critics say it is brilliant plus it has Justin Timberlake on it so I gotta watch that.

That's all I think. Kinda stuck on writing right now. GTG.

What happened on November stay on November

I've been very busy this November. I think I wrote the word "busy" a lot in my blogs. I know. But I think that's what happened when you have a lot of assignments to do but-you're-too-lazy-to-do-it so you do it 1-2 days before the deadline. A lot of assignments made me crazy. Besides that, there are still another problems that I pretend not to care but in fact I couldn't do it.

So many things happened in November. Miley's and Tita's birthday, American Music Awards, my important assignments, such as "Kampung Kuliner", and a lot of things are going on. But nothing special. In fact, it was a flat November I think. But, I still have good times in weekend. I just watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1 with my 3 junior high school friends. I had a great time with them. Really great time. I love to be around with my friends that really know me. It's like I can really be myself.

However, the film wasn't so great for me. I'm not a big fan of Harry Potter. I'm a little bit disappointed with the cinema. The first 5 minutes the sound was very bad. It's like the sound system wasn't working well but they pushed it. Then they turned off the film, then they repeated the film from the beginning. It was okay then. But 10 minutes before the film finished, the sound system did it again. It sounded so noisy and disturbing. I think they should fix it soon or people will remain that the cinema isn't worth the price.

My new favorite thing!!!!! I have read Vampire Academy!!! It was a great novel. Vampire again I know! I think vampires are popular now. But this book is good. The story is like you mix Gossip Girl with Vampire stories. I will surely read the next series. And Hollywood should makes the TV series. It would be awesome. Don't just make the movie, it's not enough.

That's all my November. Can't wait for Christmast holiday, but final exam is really coming to town before Santa Claus :P

Things that I need and I want

Okay, here are some things that I really need. What I really want isn't what I really need. Sometimes I just want something, but I don't need it. Sometimes I need something that I don't really want. It's a little bit confusing but that's the truth.

Things that I need :

DISTRACTION

A lot of things is on my mind right now. There are so many problems lately, but the problems don't come from the outside. It's from the inside. So it's hard to avoid it and let it go. I need a big distraction so I can get over it, forget it, it won't be a problem and I can move on. Maybe the distraction can be a vacation to somewhere for a few days. I really need that right now.

SPORTS

Yes, I need to do some sports. Haven't done it since I entered university. In high school I usually got it every week but now I don't. So I guess I have to do it myself. But there isn't always much time to do it. I want to go swimming!!!




KEY BCA
It's a tool to make transaction on BCA account via internet. If I don't have this, I can't send money via online. So, I think having this will make it easy. But, the thing is I have to go there by myself to BCA to ask the key. And banks are open only in business days until afternoon while I have to go to  campus. 

Things that I want :

IPOD TOUCH

I want this so bad. I guess I just want to have an Apple product. But I think iPod touch is a good gadget if I'm in the middle of waiting for something and get bored. So I can listen to the songs, play games, or another entertainment that iTouch has.

NEW CONVERSE SNEAKERS

I want new Converse sneakers. The one with a different color. Not a black one like I have before. I know it seems useless but I think I really want it.

RICH DAD BOOK SERIES

There are 2 books I want to buy. All by Robert Kiyosaki. It's Rich Dad Poor Dad for Teens and Rich Dad Poor Dad Success Stories. I guess I will buy these books by online since I couldn't find it in any local bookstore. 

Another week

I've been so bored lately. Life goes. I go to campus, go home, finish my homework, browsing internet, and go sleep. Most of the time. And it bores me out. Life's good. But sometimes all you need is a little adventures. I like adventures, I like challenge. What I mean adventures isn't like climbing on a mountain or something like that. It's just something new that I want to try. Maybe drink a little beer so finally I will know how it tastes, because I'm always curious on that. Anyway, life's good. It's just a little boring here. I guess I want more high school moment. But if you ask me to go back to high school, I will say NO. High school is good, but there are times when we have to face the future and let something go. Wherever we go, the memories will stay with us. So, that's why I don't wanna go back.

I'm giving you bonus this week. it's Miley Cyrus music video - Who Owns My Heart. I love it, but basically I like Can't be Tamed more. Can't be Tamed has a complete concept for a music video. But, in here, I don't see it. But she's still awesome. I love her expression in every music videos she has.

University Artworks

Wow! I haven't taken care this blog for a while. Yep, I'm so busy with so many assignments in university so I can't blog a lot. There are so many things to do since I am majoring architecture. And I want to show you some of my artwork in university. It's not so good I think. There are so many students that had better artwork than me but I'm pretty satisfied with mine. 

Got B+ for this.

Actually there is no the yellow line on the right top. It's because of the scanner I think.

Haven't got the result yet. But I don't think this one is good.

However, these assignments is killing me. Today the lecturer gave an assignment that must be done by tomorrow. Then the next day they gave assignment again, again, and again. So, I think this is architecture. So many homeworks. Some of my friends didn't sleep at night because of these assignments. Lucky me, I still could sleep on normal time because my assignments have finished on time.

Anyway I found a very great book about business. Maybe it's an old book, but I love it. It is Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. If you want to learn more about business and investment, you should read this. It really changes my mindset about business. There are a lot of explanation what we should do and what we shouldn't so in business. This book motivates me a lot. 

I think I'm gonna read another Robert Kiyosaki's book, but I'm still confused where to buy it because I want them in Indonesian language. So it's pretty hard to find.

Manage my life

If you can manage your life, what will you do from now until death? I like to manage my life. It's not about being organized, but it's more like how to chase the dream. It may be come true and it may be not, but as long as I could, I will try to make this happen. And this is what I want if I can manage my life.

Age 19 : having my own successful business. maybe in online business.
Age 21 : finish university, get a job as architecture in a someone's company for a year.
Age 22 : go to USA for more education, whether it's about architecture or not. Then started building a life there.
Age 26 : get a very good job in USA, start making money.
Age 27 : bring my family to USA, and we all move there.
Age 30 : become a famous architecture, or if it's not I want to be a film producer / creative designer in a movie.
Age 35 : having my own company, small or big, whatever.
Age 36-die : working, enjoying life, working, enjoying life.


That's my life would be if I can arrange it. But the truth is, I can't do it. Sometimes there are some events that makes our plan doesn't work out. It's okay, because I don't have to live my life as what I wrote above. And why didn't I write about relationship or marriage or something about it? That's because I don't think that it's something that I should chase, but it's something that we have as a gift, to love and to be loved. It can't be managed, it can come and go anytime. So, the thing is I still don't have idea about it and I'm not gonna write about it. It's still a new thing for me and I just don't want to talk about it.

Someone Please Buy ME This

Thing I want so bad

Apple iPod Touch. Yes, I want this so bad. I've never had any Apple products. But I really want this now. It seems the only Apple product that I can afford to buy. It can be used to listen to musics, watch videos, even WIFI for internet, and so many games and applications, just like iPhone, but it can't be used to phone someone. But the problem is I'm still confused because soemtimes I think buying a gadget like this will be a waste.  Yes, because I have a plan to save my money and use it for something more important, like investing on something useful. SOOOO, it's kinda confusing... My mom suggest me to save the money rather than buying this iPod, but I still don't know. For now, I think it's better to save my money. Anyway if anybody read this post and you're interested to buy me this iPod touch I will be thankful. :)

Good bye high school

My high school life is really over now. No more school uniform, no more test and assignment, no more high shool stuff. Happy? Of course! Sad? Absolutely. It’s been 3 years since I was in high school. I have to say that in high school my life became totally different. I got so many friends that I haven’t met before. Since my school is one of the most favorite school in town, I should be proud of it. And with a big power comes a big responsibilty. So, that means in this school there will be a lot of competitive students and the education that my school has is higher than the normal standart. It means I have to work hard. But, I am the kind of person who doesn’t care so much about school stuff like tests or assignment, so it’s not a big problem for me. One thing that I was afraid was “FRIENDS.” I was afraid I couldn’t get any friend here. But I’m totally wrong. I found a lot of very good friends. They’re so nice and I feel so blessed that I could have friends like them.


Starting with my first class in high school, XI. It was totally amazing. There are so many funny people in my class. We’ve been through 1 year together. From the first time we met at MOS, until the farewell trip to Batu. I’ve got so many amazing experience I’ve never had before. It was memorable. Okay I forgot all the whole interesting stories in XI, but I remember that this class was the best class for me and I was very lucky to be at that class.

 my class - IA 8

Then, I got separated from my XI friends. I got a new class, IA 8. First time I came to this class, I only knew a few students. But I didn’t really close to them, so I felt weird. Then time went on and on and on I began to know each other. Until 2 years that we have been passed, I feel so impressed with IA8. There were so many amazing and unique characters here. It’s amazing to be a part of IA 8. What I like being here was this class provided a complete package. When there were some activities like independence day or bazaar, we had some people that organized it. When I felt lazy to write, I just borrowed my friend’s book. When I got confused about the lesson, I could ask anybody. When our class felt so quiet, there were some friends who would make some noise in my class. When I feel bored and had nothing to do, I could spend my time talking to my friends. (This is what I really like). It felt so perfect.

Enough the good parts, and now is the bad part. I had one bad experience in IA8. It was about one thing. SEAT. Yes, we were very selfish so we had to fight about SEAT almost everyday. It was tiring and annoying but now it’s done. I’ve never had a seat fight since I was in kindergarten but now in the end of high school I just got fight about childish stuff. That was awkward. But now it was really over.

I won’t say IA 8 is better than XI or XI is better than IA 8 because it will make me look like a fool. For example, in front of IA 8 I’m gonna say IA 8 is better, but in front of XI I say XI is better. So, I won’t compare it. In IA 8 I’ve got many good stories that I could make everyone jeaolus. In IA 8 I feel that all the students here are free to be anyone. It’s kinda cool when I see everyone is doing their favorite activity in class. I know that this friendship is easier to made than kept. I just hope I can keep it, not just make it.

Enough saying. Gotta go now.

BYE!

True Friend (Hannah Montana original soundtrack)

One of my favorite Hannah Montana songs. Check out the lyrics. It means a lot.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
We sign our cards and letters BFF
You've got a million ways to make me laugh
You're lookin' out for me; you've got my back
It's so good to have you around

You know the secrets I could never tell
And when I'm quiet you break through my shell
Don't feel the need to do a rebel yell
Cause you keep my feet on the ground

[Chorus 1]
You're a true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Til it's alright again
You're a true friend

[Verse 2]
You don't get angry when I change the plans
Somehow you're never out of second chances
Won't say "I told you" when I'm wrong again
I'm so lucky that I've found

[Chorus 2]
A true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Til it's alright again

[Bridge]
True friends will go to the end of the earth
Till they find the things you need
Friends hang on through the ups and the downs
Cause they've got someone to believe in

[Chorus 3]
A true friend
You're here till the end
You pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
No need to pretend
You're a true friend
You're here till the end
Pull me aside
When something ain't right
Talk with me now and into the night
'Til it's alright again
You're a true friend [3x]

All about my review

Since what I wrote in my blog mostly about review, so I want to explain what my review is and how it's gonna look like.

If I review something, it's actually based on my own opinion. If I think that's a bad movie, I will say it's bad. I don't care if that movie won Oscar or something, the most important thing is I enjoy that film or not. For example, The Hurt Locker, it's a very good film that won Oscars in 2010. But, I don't know why I don't like the movie. I think it's boring. So? That's just me. I don't like watching movies about war. So, I'm gonna say it's bad. My review isn't perfect. Sometimes I just write what's in my mind and it can be wrong and different with the other people. I'm not a movie critics so I just enjoy the movies. A cheesy movie such High School Musical can make me enjoy every minute of it, so I'm gonna say that it's a good movie. Sometimes, movies don't need any awards to entertain people. They just need to know how to make a good and entertaining movie so people don't feel bored when they watch it.

I don't say I don't like all movie awards. I like them. I watch Oscars, Golden Globes, MTV Movie Awards, Teen Choice Awards and stuff. I enjoy that show. But, I don't think the winner is always my best. I'm a free writer, so I can write anything that I want. I know that there are some techniques about jurnalistic and writing. I want to learn about it someday. But, right now I don't think I need that.

I write what I have learned. About life, about entertainment, about activities, and so many things. There is never enough space to tell the world about our life experience. Life experience is important for every people. Whether we have good life, or bad life, it always be our memories. Good memories will make happiness, but sad memories make us sad. But remember, there are always 2 sides in life, good and bad. Sometimes we happy, sometimes we sad. And that makes us stronger. So, don't worry about that. Just keep on going and make sure you live your life.

I can write about good stuff. And I can write about bad stuff. The only thing I won't write in my blog is insulting celebrities. I always give a respect to all celebrities. I think they are not always like what tabloids and gossip sites say. I don't know the truth. So, I won't judge them. And remember, nobody's perfect.
