Before Sunrise

Conversations flow. They really do. A beautiful guy met a beautiful girl on a train to Vienna, she caught him by the eye. She kinda hooked him first by the whole thing about how as couple gets older they lose their ability to hear each other, like they sort of nullify each other, and he thought it was nature's way of allowing couple to grow old together without killing each other.

Well..that was a hook. Hahaha. Soon they were wandering the streets of Vienna, talking, laughing, and all. Ever since I read this novel Love in Prague by Judith an Indonesian writer, Eastern Europe cities have always been my dream destinations. But you know, not that goal-oriented, like researching on them history and stuff. I just dream on visiting them later. If I got the money, and If I do, I WILL spare the time for God's sake. Amazing how a single novel about Prague can hooked me up that much on Europe, than any kind of pictures, videos, or movies did. And this movie just a kind of suplementary to it all. A sweet movie about love, life, strangers, with Europe background.

The guy, Jesse, is all this American guy, bitter, but in heart I think he is someone who believes so much in love, that when it hurt him, it turned him cynical. The girl, Celine, is this free-loving, independent, sweet, smart French girl, who always has her own takes on everything.

I just..hate the ending. (Warning you for some bloopers) They could've been forever. They're clearly each other's angel and demon. But they choose not to. Over what? The fear of being depressed? Urgh. Sure they could get to know each other...lose interest in each other...but that'd be better than give the whole thing up, right? It kinda bugs me of how people willing to sacrifice so little for something they know is right and almost heaven-made.

Four thumbs up for both actors though. The acting is incredible. Well, I heard in real life Hawke and Delpy managed to become a couple, but then broke up. The word said Hawke broke up with her over Joely Richardson. But I didn't really knew. I wasn't a fan of Hawke then. Guess I kinda am now. Never thought beautiful guys would be so attractive. Haha.

I can't pick my favourite quotes. The movie itself is my favourite quote to life. So...is Before Sunrise my favourite movie..? Yeah I guess so. Watch it to get it. Overall I give it 4.5 stars out of 5. It loses the half star for the sucky ending. Haha.

Watch Me Go Mental


Currently watching a new show: The Mentalist. Tokoh sentralnya Patrick Jane. He is not a psychic..kind of. He reads body language. Dia bisa baca semua arti gerak-gerik lo. Wow menyeramkan kan ya kalau bertemu orang macam ini. He used to make a good living, pretending to be a psychic. Terus gara-gara ngatain seorang serial-killer di televisi, si serial killer itu Red John balas membunuh istri dan anaknya. Huhuhu ;(.
Tingkah laku Jane, according to what my sister said, Ngegemesin. Hahaha. Yeah, iyuuuhh you sis. Pongah, jumawa, congkak, ngegemesin. He always acts like he knows everything and nothing can be unresolved. Well, mungkin kebanyakan orang yang memiliki talenta kayak dia akan bertingkah seperti itu. Quoting from namakutephy.com's review, he always play with people and there's no way people can play him.
Gara-gara kebanyakan nonton ini pula, gue mulai ketularan sok-sokan bertingkah seperti The Mentalist. Once when someone asked Jane if he's a psychic, he said "No. I just pay attention". Jadi gue pun merasa ya gue semua orang juga bisa dong jadi The Mentalist. Kita udah punya bakatnya sejak lahir, but some just choose to ignore it.
That leads to my straight lame ass conversation I had with Citra one night on MSN.

citra:

Hanny:

Hanny:

So this is what it feels like to..

Get out of my comfort zone, experience the life outside the "palace", jadi orang awam hahahaha. Gue gak akan pernah ke depok naik metro mini 85 lagi. Hmm, ok. Gue koreksi. KALO GA TERPAKSA ATAU MEPET, gue gak akan pernah ke depok naik metro mini 85 lagi.
Naik 85 serasa seperti berada di dalam sebuah film aksi. Tabrak sana, tabrak sini. Salip sana, salip sini, ok you get the point. Well sebenernya kalau mengesampingkan fakta bahwa 85 hanyalah sebuah kaleng besar alumunium karatan, bukan batmobile atau bumblebee, (dan itu juga menandakan bahwa gue bisa mati konyol kapan saja akibat amarah sopir-sopir dan kenek-kenek batak yang berbanding sejajar dengan hari, makin siang makin panas) mungkin I would've actually felt really cool. Hahaha. Serasa jadi Megan Fox yang sedang menghindar dari serangan Decepticon atau Bruce Wayne yang sedang beraksi membela kebenaran dan keadilan.
Di lampu merah relasi kebon jeruk masih sempat-sempatnya pula ni metro mini berhenti adu bacot bentar sama 85 yang satunya lagi. Gue uda merinding takut disop, soalnya orang batak denger-denger selain suka makan anjing, mereka juga suka makan daging perawan manis.
Setelah 45 menit yang menegangkan bersama sopir dan kenek Batak 85 yang jaminan asoi, gue pun turun di lampu merah lebak bulus. Dari situ naik deborah kecil (gue sih bilangnya deborah jelek hahaha) sampai depok.
Sesudah naik baru tiba-tiba menyesal. Baru ingat alasan mengapa selama ini lebih setia memilih menunggu si deborah besar (deborah cantik sebutan dari gue hehe) di halte lampu merah kedoya selama satu jam++ daripada naik 85-debo jelek yang merupakan sebuah kombinasi yang lebih terjamin keberadaannya.
Kaleng sarden isi 5 saja mungkin masih lebih luang dibandingkan debo jelek di siang hari saudara-saudara. Bayangkan jika lubang hidung anda, dimasukkan dua puluh biji kacang pilus. Itulah debo jelek di siang hari. Betis gue pun sampai sekarang makin kencang akibat bapak berpeci sialan yang berdiri memunggungi gue. Ga mau kalah bener, gue didorong terus sampe mau mati rasanya. Pas dia turun pengen gue jorokin rasanya biar ngejengkang. Si kenek anjing juga ga tau diri. Ibaratnya uda masukin dua puluh kacang pilus ke lubang idung, tapi masih pengen masukin satu biji lagi. Abis itu pengen ngupil pake jari telunjuk. PENGEN GUE TUSUK PAKE CENTONG BUBUR.
Ketika dia nyelip-nyelip di antara gue dan bapak peci sialan, I COULD ACTUALLY FELT HIS BALLS AGAINST MY ASS. Untung ga pake digesek-gesek. Kasihan juga sama orang yang duduk di depan tempat gue berdiri. Perut dan tas gue literally ON HIS FACE for half an hour. Hahaha, sori ya mas-mas pembaca peta jalur busway. I heart youh.
Akhirnya gue pun tiba di depok. Misi utama gue: Nyebar proposal misa alam ke dosen-dosen FIB bareng Ka Cuni dan Sandra. Herlina sang PJ Danus uda nelpon gue hari sabtu, nyuruh gue dateng hari senin. Ternyata apa saudara2? Saat gue mau ambil proposalnya yang dititipin di Wisma SY, proposalnya uda diambil sama PJ yang satu lagi dan ga jadi disebar hari itu. WALANG SANGIT EMANG.
Intinya all those times I've spent on those two fucking barbaric buses, have been SIA-SIA. So much for mau berbuat baik untuk kegiatan agama huh? Lalu hari ini setelah menghabiskan sekitar dua belas jam syuting Happy Song + perjalanan di dan ke Indosiar, dinyolotin sama mbak-mbak busway, dinyolotin sama kenek P16 gara-gara turun pake kaki kanan (yang mana selalu gue lakukan tiap kali turun kendaraan, but everybody says kita harus turun pake kaki kiri, tapi terserah juga sih ya, kalo ternyata orangnya right-footed gimana? hahaha bener-bener maksa luar biasa lucu gue), suddenly gue merasa kehilangan semua selera humor gue dan semangat gue untuk tertawa atau apapun itu. I just want a good night sleep, and tomorrow a trip with Sheila and Janet. Godspeed.

Another Crap

I could make you a poem
I would make you a poem
By then I will be exposed
I will be naked under the spotlight
There's nothing left for me to hide
You'll see me and I'm afraid

Under the exposure I'll fall
Under the exposure I'll fall
I'll fall under your charm
And there's nothing else I could do
And I don't know what you could do

Wait wait wait a little bit longer
I'll let myself linger
In you deeper and deeper
And I will be a believer
Cause this is getting better and better

Baru bangun, mau ke depok

Wait a minute, what's that smell? Aah...it's the sweet smell of pemilu aiyt...The sweet smell of victory....and the smile on the losers' faces....hahahaha...
You know...choose right.

Gue ga akan mencoba untuk memanipulasi siapa-siapa untuk ikut memilih apa yang gue pilih. After all itu hak masing-masing individu. Akh ngapain, ga guna. Nyahahah. But remember, whoever it is that you will choose, choose right. Godspeed! Nyahahaha!

Delicate

As I'm growing up, my ear-range of music is becoming wider. If I were 5 years old and Damien Rice's Cannonball were played on the radio, I would have changed the tune right away. But now, I can listen to anything. From those cheesy Korean songs, those depressive, deep, and mellow songs, alternative, r&b, 50s, hardrock, ANYTHING. What Imma tryin to say is....hell, I DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT IM TRYIN TO SAY.

Mmkay..there's this one Damien Rice's song, Delicate. When I listen to it, well...it is kinda..DEPRESSIVE. You can say so. Rice kinda gives you that effect, both the singer, and the food. Hahaha. The song is deep, hard to comprehend, and all that depressive song is made up to be.

So I googled the meaning of the song. Well most of them are from the listeners. I was really lookin for the explanation from Rice himself, but couldn't find it. Some of them say it's about a love affair between friends..confusing love..an affair that is denying being a love affair..blablabla..some say the word 'hallelujah' in the chorus is not referring to anything religious but to a jeff buckley's song hallelujah..but there's this one explanation that really caught my eye.

He/she said that it speaks of the intimate relationship between God and humanity portrayed. Like, the relationship between God and human beings is like a love affair, and God can be jealous as well. Hahaha. Just like my Catholic teacher said in one of his lecture. In my own opinion (look at me talkin like my own opinion really matters hahaha), it's about two people who are in love so passionately, they even might kiss when nobody's watching, they even might make love in SACRED PLACES, but somehow it's all gone. It can be whatever we want to interpret.
Well, one thing for sure, the song creates exactly the impact Damien Rice wanted his listeners to feel after they listen to this song, that is: DELICATE. Nyahahahahahah. Godspeed.
