The Art of Getting By

Hola!

Ini mungkin adalah salah satu film favorit gue. Why? Karena pemerannya Emma Roberts sama Freddie Highmore. They're the best entertainers of all time.

I watch this move like over a year ago, but still. I can remember it clearly.

George (Freddie Highmore) is a fatalistic high school senior who is a gifted artist. George is often haunted by the realization that he will die someday. He ceases to complete his homework, as he feels that everything seems meaningless. As a result, he is put on academic probation. The next day, George goes up to the school roof and sees Sally (Emma Roberts) smoking. When a teacher comes up, George quickly pulls out a cigarette and takes the blame. Sally meets up with George to thank him, and though George is at first reluctant to talk to her, he soon warms up to her.
On Career Day, George meets a young artist, Dustin and is inspired by his thoughts about life. He brings Sally with him to visit Dustin and it becomes apparent that Dustin likes Sally. Sally and George start to share an interesting bond, as they become close friends.
George doesn't do his English term paper and is brought to the principal's office. The principal gives George two choices: expulsion or to do every piece of undone homework, about a years worth of assignments in three weeks. George accepts the challenge, and goes about finishing every homework assignment given to him during his senior year.

Disini Freddie Highmore jadi pinteeerrr banget gambar, sketch gituu.. Gambar-gambarnya juga kebanyakan doodle. But unfortunately, he's not good at draw so he used a stunt for it. -_-

Penikmat Hujan

Langit Jakarta kian hari semakin menunjukkan kesedihannya. Matahari jarang menampakkan wujudnya dan angin berhembus lembut hingga terkadang rasanya seperti menusuk tulang. Gumpalan awan kelabu hilir mudik dengan percaya diri, tanpa mempedulikan para manusia yang mulai berlarian untuk melindungi diri. Hiruk-pikuk kota ini semakin riuh dengan rintikkan hujan yang hampir setiap sore menghujani daerah ini. Kapan terakhir kali saya (bahkan anda) mengajak hujan bermain? Sudah lama sepertinya... Kita semua dulu bermain hujan sebelum menyadari kalau dunia itu penuh kepura-puraan, tertawa lebar tanpa perlu takut penilaian orang lain, berlari dengan kaus kutang tanpa perlu merasa khawatir, mencuri-curi untuk makan permen sebanyak-banyaknya, hingga menangis karena terjatuh akibat kerikil kecil. Oh, dunia terasa indah ketika kita masih lugu. Tidak ada kebencian, tidak ada caci-maki, tidak mengenal perasaan aneh terhadap lawan jenis, yang ada hanya... Persahabatan dan kasih sayang. Saya rindu ...

Give and Take

What happens to teenager this day? What happens to Indonesian culture about polite, manner, and grace? It's so pathethic that now we rarely see it in our life. Let's take the easiest samples: 1. Menyela pembicaraan orang. 2. Make fun, laugh, yawn, stared hatefully toward the elders (it can be your lecturer or even your parent). 3. Being ignorance, arrogant. 4. This may be the simpliest sample of all... keluar / masuk ruangan tanpa ijin, main kabur,padahal sebenarnya bisa ijin dulu. etc. Some of the examples above are actually based on my observation in actual life. But then the question is: Can we live without polite, manner, and grace? Sekarang coba kalau dibalik. Kita jadi orang yang mendapatkan perlakuan yang tidak sopan. You feel uncomfortable, angry, sad, and insecure, don't you? Is that good? How can we have polite, manner, and grace? Well, I'm kind of person that believe in "Give and Take". Give and take is actually hands that help each oth...

Two Worlds Collide

So I was listening to this song last night. Pretty old, it was from Demi Lovato's first album, Don't Forget. The lyrics really got me... Well probably, now I'm on Demi's phase back then when she was really insecure with her self... *** "Two Worlds Collide" She was given the world So much that she couldn't see And she needed someone to show her, Who she could be. And she tried to survive Wearing her heart on her sleeve But I needed you to believe You had your dreams, I had mine. You had your fears, I was fine. You showed me what I couldn't find, When two different worlds collide. La dee da dee da She was scared of it all, watching from far away. She was given a role, never knew just when to play. And she tried to survive Living her life on her own Always afraid of the throne But you've given me strength to find home. You had your dreams, I had mine. You had your fears, I was fine. You showed me what I couldn't find, When...

Adulting

I hate getting older. I wish I could stay in my student era, where I just need to study and got good grades. Ironically, today is the youngest I could be and I should cherish that. I hate the fact that each day I just getting older. This blog grows up with me. I was such a bright bubbly girl who always wondered, "what is it like to be an adult?" Duh, Nita, my younger-self. Let me tell you:  YOU HATE BEING AN ADULT. You are now not a dreamer, instead you just live your life. Waiting for your turn to die. You are now working as an employee, not an artist like you always wanted to be. You don't have much time to read, you choose to sleep in between your spare time. You are now a mom of 2 at the age of 27, not an independent single woman who wanted to get marry at 30. I'm living in a reality that I didn't plan at all. I'm still trying to survive, at least. Well, I'm a survivor and I will survive. ***

Just a Tought

I don't know what kind of these feelings before. The mixed feelings that I'd never imagined for almost a year. It's magical... Like golden fairy dust on the meadow. It's lyrical... Like the humming bird sings on my meadow. I used to be afraid, pretending, ignoring, and trying to hide. But... slowly, I am brave enough to admit it. I couldn't say anything else. And I don't hope anything too. And it's enough for me to know, to feel, and to realize it. I am starting to see things clearly.... With a little doubt there. Could it be... Wait a moment... No. Shall I ask once more. Would it be us?
