HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007!!

At the time I'm starting to write this, it's not New Year's yet at my place, but it might already be when I end this post.. depends on how long or short it's gonna be.

fiuh.. been a loooong time I haven't post in English. I dunno..in these last couple of months, I just felt like expressing myself in Bahasa Indonesia, but then I rarely blog anyway :p haha

I just watched some of the special shows in sync with New Year's Eve. There were some Box Office Indonesian Films, like "Heart" and "Apa Artinya Cinta?". Good thing I didn't think about spending my money on those movies at the cinema, cuz I just watched 'em FREE on TV, hahaha :D (pelit banget ya gw?) Talking about movies, I want to watch "Happy Feet" at the cinema, but I don't know with whom I should go, it's not alotta fun going to the movies by urself.

Well..anyway, after watching "Heart" there were some scenes where I cried, but then some scenes (in my opinion) aren't necessary. And for "Apa Artinya Cinta?" well..lots of scenes went realllllllyyyyyy sloooooowwwww...

WAIT A SEC....!!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007 FOR THE WESTERN PART OF INDONESIA (WIB)!!!!!!

(back to the topic)

well lots of the scenes in "Apa Artinya Cinta?" went sooo slow I could've fallen asleep, if I didn't change the channel. I just hope that, in the future, the Indonesian cinema industry can come up with movies that have better plots and better flow of scenes. What I've seen from Hollywood and Disney's cartoons that made it big in the Box Office in the USA, is that:

1. good concept and plot
2. the development of the story and characters are smooth through out each scene
3. scenes connect smoothly
4. lots of movies that are touchy (menyentuh, bikin terharu gitu lohh!)
5. the movies have morals in 'em

Now, Indonesian movies are finding it hard to do that. Maybe it's because of the market that makes them Production House produce movies without paying attention to the real essence of movies. And usually movies in Indonesia follows the movies that came out before (latah).. like there was a time frame of lovey-dovey-teen-drama movies then another period where it was all horror (like at the end of 2006, just this December 2006, it was all HORROR!!) They just can't make a movie without thinking of money, they can't make a movie with moral inside, can they?

I mean even cartoons..those Americans and Japanese really put their heart and head to it. There's a message that u can take from those cartoons, and the scenes are well-arranged. I think "movie people" in Indonesia still need to study more in making good movies.

Sometime in the near future, I'd like to see a movie at the cinema where it takes up a "touchy" topic that can be taken from peoples' lives happening in the local area, that is... from inside Indonesia itself, but no big mansions, luxurious cars, and all those other lux things involved. Topics that happen normally in Indonesia, taking up the positive side not the negative. Like there were some Box Office movies (which're lame in my opinion) where it exposed the dark and negative side of living in a metropolitan area like Jakarta, which is the capital city where, as they say, have become "modernized", haha BS.. what the heck is "modernized"?? I say it's Westernized, not modernized.. Western stuff does not mean modern.. Sorry for all the Westerners out there, I just feel sad for the Indonesian people who have lost their culture. Those people who have forgotten how being "People of the East" really is.. blinded by the bling-blings of the Western world.

Oh yeah..and another thing that's been bothering my mind...
MALAYSIA QUIT SAYING OUR STUFF IS YOURS!!! F@#*!!!
Kebaya is from INDONESIA.. Angklung is from INDONESIA.. Gamelan is from INDONESIA..
QUIT claiming OUR stuff is yours....!!!! *sheesh* Where the heck is your brain man, taking other people's stuff.. *bleh*

gw lupa pengumuman.. tgl 25 November 2006 gw Wisuda!! I have graduated from college, and have gained a S.Kom = Sarjana Baskom eh..salah.. Sarjana Komputer, huehehehe..

Retno Nindya Prastiwi, SE & Mutiardani Roosnauli, S.Kom

Shioookkk!!!!

No..bukan Shiok nama resto di PIM 1 deket 21-nya.. bukan itu tapi SHOCK beneran gw.. :-O
O_o!

hadooohhh.. Aa Gym, saya kuciwa dengan Anda.. ampe hari ini gw tetep antara percaya dan ga percaya.. ternyata seorang Ustadz juga bisa MUNAFIK yee, X-( hanya manusia biasa.

Gw inget omongan dia, waktu diminta ibu2 yg dengerin ceramahnya, "Aa jangan kawin lagi yaa..!"

Truz, Aa Gym bilang, "Aa mah ga bisa deh kalo poligami.." or something like that.. intinya, dia ga ada keinginan berpoligami-ria.

eeehhh..ini..malah kejadian.. katenye sih, laki2 yg deket2 umur 40 tuh "puber ke-2", halah Bull!! udah Teh Ninih-nya cantique, alim, putih, bae, istri yg bae, ibu yg bae tuk anak2nya, duh sempurna deh..eh malah ngelirik yg lain yg putih juga.. :x pusying dah -.-!

Gw cuma kasian ama Teh Ninihnya.. di infotainment kemaren (Senin, 4 Des. 2006) Teh Ninih bilang dia ikhlas suaminya nikah lagi, tapi sebagai seorang wanita, wanita mana sih yg ga sedih suaminya nikah lagi sama wanita lain? Teh Ninih cuma minta kepada pemirsa tuk mendoakan dia agar bisa melewati semua ini, namanya juga cobaan, setiap cobaan dari Allah pasti ada hikmahnya. Walopun Teh Ninih bicara-nya tegar sekali, tapi bisa diliat dari matanya udah berkaca2, kayak mo nangis, mata tak bisa berbohong.

Kalo gw yg jadi Teh Ninih mah, udah gw maki2 tuh Aa Gym. Yaa..masa' Teh Ninih yg selama ini mendampingi, dr nol sampe bisa jadi success sekarang, di-dua-in gitu, kerja kerasnya Teh Ninih sebagai seorang wanita, seorang istri dan seorang ibu selama ini, dr jamannya Aa Gym masih bandel sampe jadi alim, dari ga punya apa2 sampe punya perusahaan besar & ponpes, dari bukan siapa2 sampe jadi orang terkenal di seluruh nusantara, selama ini Teh Ninih yg dengan setia mendampingi. Like the English proverbs say, "Behind every GREAT Man, there's a GREAT Woman." Suksesnya sang suami, tergantung pada istrinya.

Gw sih ga sudi.. istilahnya.. gw yg selalu di sisi lo selama ini, gw yg support lo selama ini, sukses yg lo capai sampe segini... sekarang yg nikmatin cewe laen?!?!?! KURANG AJARRRRRR!!!!! Brengsek.. X-( X-( X-(

Tapi kocak juga, di salah 1 infotainment kemaren, pas cerita tentang Aa Gym & his second marriage, background song-nya by Ratu yaitu "LELAKI BUAYA DARAT".. bwahahahaha.. mampussss....
