movies.and.american-idol

gerardd butler..3 words to describe this leading man in p.s i love you: fi-ne scottish butt ;)). absolutely stunning abs in 300,, he seems to have a good sense of humour AND he can SING.. guys that get along with music get along with me :)) i adoree musicians. like gerry from p.s i love you. i adore him, the character. gerry.. such a sweet guy!! and his way of showing his love to his wife, holly (hilary swank), is just amazingly touching and heart-warming. i think gerard is the perfect cast for gerry despite what the critics say. i love the movie.. it moved my sentimental side X)

I wanna watch jumper,, my friends say it's great. I've watched the trailer, and i like the idea of the character,, someone who can jump anywhere he wants to. It's like teleporting actually, but they name it jumping, which i think is clever. The term teleporting has been used too frequently in action-fiction movies, so naming it "jumping" would be more attractive. I'm eager to watch hayden christensen there, everyone says he looks amazing. rachel bilson is one lucky girl! damn.

american idol's 08' guys rock! i think this season's contestants are way better than the last. although no one can beatbox as good as blake,, they have really good vocals. most of them are handsome too :)). michael johns scores in hotness,,a million points goes to him for setting the stage on fire. he's manly, and i like that. he's sexy and yes, i agree with simon,, he has a natural charisma of a lead singer. The babyfaced David Archuleta also shoot stars, he's by far the cutest, the sweetest, the most innocent-looking performer. I like his adolescence that mix with his childlike quality. He has a pure personality which we rarely see in teenagers nowadays. He has good vocals and performs well :)) And there's another contestant, the diva of the show, they claimed, Danny Noriega,,, he's funny in some way,, it's fun to watch him snap at simon with his girly and gay-ish style,, he's kinda tranny IMO. that's why he's fun to watch although his performance wasn't really good,, he kinda killed the elvis song. his style doesn't suit elvis' image, which is a very MANLY rocker. but he's something to enjoy.

the girls will perform tomorrow night, i hope they'll do well :)) i hope this season's american idol produces great, memorable and lasting talents like Kelly Clarkson, Chris Daughtry or Jennifer Hudson. Not another come-and-go artist like Clay Aiken etc.

huhh.. another try outch tomorrow,, english and chemistry >< haven't learned anything. it's too late already,, i better go sleep so i can wake up on time tomorrow!

beloved.country

today i went to puri and saw "Xtra Large", a movie starring jamie aditya, dewi sandra and sarah sechan. It's an indonesian movie, and hell funny! the film industry in indonesia are sure developing rapidly. in these last years it produced some great movies, like nagabonar2, otomatis romantis, xtra large, realita cinta n rock'n'roll, quickie express, my heart, etc. some of them are even better than hollywood movies,, like nagabonar 2!! haven't seen it, but i definitely WILL and coming from my friends, the movie is greattttt...!

the music industry has developed much too. great new songs are coming out,, new singers emerge from nowhere, and some of them are actually good. gita gutawa, for example, she represented and had won the international music festival in Egypt. more and more indonesians are making this country appreciable internationally and raise it's reputation. in the sports section we have taufik hidayat, the hero of badminton, he had won several prestigious badminton championships such as thomas cup and the sudirman cup.

i realize now, that indonesia really has the potential to become one of the most leading countries. great natural resources, good human resources, but unfortunately, too great corruption,,and a terribly poor government.

can we grow? yes we can. the real question is: will the growth produce a good product or a defected product?
well, i can only hope for the best for my hometown :)

late.night.delirium.

argghhh...3:22 AM and still wide awake!! i didn't even drink any coffee><... my face is covered with acne lotion... i hatee my pimples... :(( yesterday was chinese new year,, went to the usual place,my mpekong's house at blandongann..huaahh..the road was hell crowdedd.. took us 2 hrs to get there! i didn't get that much angpaoo.. but i'm happy this year's cny gathered more family than last year's :D
cant sleep..really people, this late night sleeping habit is turning into a disease! hmm is it maybe because i have too much stuff on my mind?? that must be it. i'm really fed up.. huahh... i'm so bored with life here. exams and UAN are coming soon.. i'll be studying like crazyy for the UAN,,i have to cover the wholee SMU syllabus,,imagine that! damn the government. especially the education department for putting up 6 subjects for UAN instead of 3. HELLO?? students nowadays are no einsteins!! especially students in indonesia! wtf have we done to you that you guys really want to fail us, huh?
oh that reminds me, monday i have to do a physics test! if it weren't for the stupid indosiar show i wouldn't have to be absent. would have been able to do the test with my friends and the best part is i COULD HAVE cheated! now i have to do the test alone,, in the teachers' room..noone to ask for answers.. good thing my friend jotted down the answers,, i hope sir joko doesn't change the questionss..huahh.. dont blame me if i cheat too much..too much to learn at school mannnn :P
speaking about school makes me miss olevell... i miss the basketball dayss..! i miss when we were still young, not having to care about university, about the future. i miss when i only had to think about tomorrow and tomorrow only. ahhh childhood and teenage dayss.. i haven't left them yet but i'm missing them already. nothing compares to those silly momentss, a wonderful memory indeed :). now everythingg changes. irrespective of the amount of changes, i feel that it really affects my behaviour. i can feel the smallest changes, i can feel when it affects me,, and i feel uncomfortable with them.. well maybe because they're not the common things, they're something we don't know, something new. everyone is afraid to strangers at first, right??
the changes i feel the most is the ones that happen to my friends. and the friendship i have with them. i don't know what is changing exactly, but i can feel something is definitely not in place. and something is going on inside my head, the way i see things and the way i think, my emotions, they're all changing too. huahh i wish it wont end up tragic. changes are made if it's for the better right?? well, i would change for the better,, but how would i know beforehand whether it would lead to the better??? this way i won't have the courage to make a change, will i? ahh i guess not, i won't have the courage to transform.
but changes must happen. and it's sad in some sentimental way :(
changes changes changes.. well my mood is undergoing one right now. i feel rather sleepy.. no wonder,, it's 4:11AM!!! i'm outta here and going to bed,,
yawnn... *0*
