have you go down to the rabbit hole?

I have. and it was sooooooooooooo much fun! I grew tall and fall to shrink. I had slay the Jabberwocky and it absolutely didn't make me look weak.

so one may hate but one may love. when I fell down the rabbit hole, is the best part of the most.

oh and the Red Queen may forever be hated. because "I'd rather be feared than be loved", I heard her said.

ps. the battle of director and muse is even for me :D

well well... if it's not the battle of directors and their muses?
Scorsese-DiCaprio VS Burton-Depp, I might say.

the long awaited movie has finally arrived-at the same time. again, many dislike this movie as it is so dark and twisted and use a large amount of you brain to digest it, but I do enjoy it.

you may also know about the story of a detective called to the island to find a mysteriously missing patient. the detective, with his new partner out of nowhere, were trapped in an island of crazy cons. the story will lead you to a set up that the hospital made for the detective or is it the detective that is delusional.

if you enjoy watching Hitchcock, I think you'll enjoy watching this one, but in a more complicated way. the music, the angle, the storytelling is like you're going backwards to Hitchcock era. well, it's Scorsese... what do you expect? hahah...

but I love it though.

the imaginarium of dr. parnassus

"A film from Heath Ledger & friends"
as I quoted from the movie. a best way to make a tribute to the talented Mr Ledger. and I do shiver as I saw him for the first time hanging by a rope under the bridge.

many may say that this movie has less imagination than the title. but for me, what can be more enjoying than watching 4 of my favorite actors all in one movie? Mr. Ledger, Mr. Law, Mr. Depp and the everlasting legend, Mr. Tom Waits.

the imagination starts thousands of years ago, when Dr. Parnassus had a bet with the devil, or Mr. Nick. when Parny-a nickname for Dr. Parnassus from Mr. Nick-wins, Mr. Nick grant him an immortality. which turns out to be a curse than a gift.

another bet was held, and it involves Parny's daughter, Valentina or Scrumpy. she'll be Mr. Nick's at the age of 16 if Parny failed to collect 5 souls just before the birthday.

greed. arrogant. selfishness. all the basic human nature seem to thrown at us and remind us that choices are exist. either the Parnassus way or the devil's way, it's all up to us...

a note to myself

dear me,
how many times have I told you that there is no such as thing as best friends?
there is only friends with benefit.
you spend times with them only when you're in need of something.
so why the hell on earth did you still do everything for them?
giving almost all of your time and went all the way for them?
it's not like they will do the same for you,
YOU WISH!
enough of the heroic act,
the world has enough of it.
if they can only think of themselves, why do you bother to think about them?

now repeat after me..

THERE IS NO SUCH AS THING AS BEST FRIEND!

yeah I know you never listen to me,
but at least remember the bad experiences you've had with your so-called-best-friend!
darling, when will you ever learn...

please save yourself and give yourself a credit.
they're not worth it.

from now on, just mind your own business and let's not get too attached with them-the best friend look alike.
stop doing everything for them and go the whole way, only for them.
BLAH! NOT WORTH IT!

best friends will stand the test of time. just let the natural selection did it for you.
if they are truly your best friends, they'll be there for you even in your darkest hours.

so please watch it before you thought your friend is a best friend.


and as for my-so-called-best-friend...
let's just get busy with our lives. our own life.

cheers!

3minutesFactory...

beberapa waktu lalu saya merasa sangat stuck dengan pekerjaan dan brand yang membosankan. rasanya mau pindah ke tim lain, menangani brand lain yang lebih menyenangkan, lebih produktif, biar lebih berasa "hidupnya" gitu loh...

sebelum sempat curhat dan mencari solusi ke bos, ternyata kemarin di kantor dibuatlah workshop. bikin digital-Led campaign untuk satu produk cup noodles. tim saya terdiri dari 3 jagoan yang dari awal saya yakin sangat membanggakan, 1 wanita yang dari awal saya yakin akan jadi duri dalam tim kami, dan saya sendiri.

seperti yang sudah saya bayangkan, si wanita tidak pernah mau ikut saat kita brainstorm. yang lebih mengejutkan, ternyata dia mengundurkan diri dengan alasan tidak bisa bikin strategi (padahal konon dia AE. how stupid is dat?)

sesi brainstorm kami pun mengalir begitu saja bahkan di tengah huru-hara pekerjaan mereka. Randi dengan revisi yang gak pernah berhenti, Mas Bimo yang terus-terus diteror storyline, dan Picu di tengah surveynya ke Cengkareng. menyenangkan bisa nyoba kerja sama anggota tim tetangga, sama bosnya tim tetangga. it's refreshing!

intinya long wiken cukup deg2an meski kami tetap bisa bersenang-senang. email dan SMS bertubi di hari Minggu. Senin pun datang, tim lain tampak siap dengan perlengkapan masing2. begitu advance, matang dan siap menang! rasanya mau sembunyi aja di balik tempurung dan berlindung.

kami, tim yang biasa2, tanpa syuting, tanpa strategi mutakhir, akhirnya cuma bisa cengar-cengir dengan presentasi yang sangat minim.  tapi Randi terus bilang bahwa dia senang, semua ini menyenangkan. saya pun kembali semangat :)

let's just get on with it and let it over before we know it...

selesai presentasi, moderator mempersilakan Pak Presdir untuk tanya ke kita. sambil tersenyum beliau berkata, "Gak ada.." ya ampuuuun... itu udah pencapaian buat kita! abis itu, saya merasa beban yang berat banget hilang.

menyaksikan presentasi tim lain, meski makin bikin jiper, jadi belajar banyak juga. they are all brilliant!

but when it comes to winner, there can be only one. and gratefully it was us, the 3minutesFactory team...

saya senang sekaliiiii!!

di tengah kemunduran intelektual dan bakat, ternyata otak saya masih bisa berfungsi dengan baik karena dorongan dari 3 jagoan saya, Mas Bimo, Randi dan Picu!!!


THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH GUYS, you've turned our 3minutesFactory in to 3minutesVictory!!!

Hoki Baju Kebalik

berangkat pagi dengan excitement di hati.
nonton PLACEBO malam nanti.
baju tempur dengan sepatu konser sudah melekat. sampai di kantor,
tersadar kaosnya kebalik, depan jadi blakang, vice versa... bodo amat, nekat.
mendekati jamnya, dag-dig-dug makin tak menentu.
jantung pun semakin melonjak setelah dapat SMS dari Varin,
"Udah dateng aja... Gak perlu ke calo."
gemetar sejadi-jadinya.
"YANG BENER KAMU??? AKU BISA GRATISSS???".
ayo jantungku, kembali ke tempatnya! I have to go to this gig!!!

and there I was...
stepped in as they played
"Cenicero Cenicero... Mi corazon mi cenicero!!!"

even though they didn't play "I Do",
I did have a blast especially when they played
"Every Me, Every You"
and my favorite
"BRIGHT LIGHTS"

tons of thank yous for Varinnia Wibowo for making this happen.
though you don't believe in myth but good luck happened last night.

it was so great I just don't want it to end.

Valentine's Day

Rating:	★★★

Genre:	Romantic Comedy

it was a surprise that he wanted to watch this movie at the theatre :)

several love stories happen in one special day. from happily married couple for about 27 years to the one who just proposed or just a boy who (think) he loves his teacher.
but apparently not all of them feel love. one is throwing a love hater party. other caught their lover at a dinner party with his wife, celebrating their 15th anniversary. which is one of my favorite scene.

but I will give my deepest bow to Taylor Swift. she's like total kewlness!! she was like so in to it. like dig in to it. like a total kewl... when she dance she was like whateva, am a dancer. Imma dancing to any beat... a total 2 thumbs up!!!

well, it's officially a date movie for Valentine's day...
