Architecture in Helsinki (not literally)

Long time, no update ya! I know, i'm a bad, bad blogger. So it’s been a while since i last updated my blog, because i've been busy with other things. BUT i wanted to check in and let you all know that i am alive :-D

So, yesterday i went to Architecture in Helsinki concert at Fairgrounds SCBD with my (very lovely :-p) sister, Asha. I'm sorry i dragged you out the house to come with me even you don't like AiH. THANKS, sissy :*

AiH concert was remarkable. Full of energy, the stage was full of motion, and Gus Franklin danced around like a madman. They were perfect! And i seriously had such a good time.



Bottlesmoker as an opening act. Cool costume and music, very impressive. I want your costume, astronaut guy! 


And i accidentally met Maya at the concert :-D

Movies: Powder (1995)


"Powder: Inside most people there's a feeling of being separate, separated from everything.  
Linsey: And? 
Powder: And they're not. They're part of absolutely everyone, and everything."

The movie is about Jeremy Reed or Powder, an albino electromagnetic genius teenager (you'd think the color was painted on with cheap paint) with no-ordinary powers of telekinesis, empath, telepathy and the ability to absorb raw energy and channel it. He's not like other people. Literally.
Story begins when his mother is struck by lightning before Jeremy's birth and being rushed to the hospital but she dies in premature childbirth. It turns out the baby has albinism. His redneck father runs away and He ends up in his grandparent's basement until sheriff has found Jeremy living there alone. Then sheriff takes him to live in a foster home and sends him to public school. Everyone hates him so much. The superpowers and hatred go on for about two hours before Jeremy tries to run away because he almost kills a guy. And so on and so on.

The most awkward moments is when Jeff Goldblum (Jeremy's teacher and the only person that's nice to him) discovers that Jeremy's parents never touched him because they were scared of his powers, at which point he reaches out his hand and begins to caress Jeremy's head in an empty cafetaria. AWKWARD!

The movie isn't bad, but it isn't great either. A lil' bit Hallmark-ish i think. Like an example of what to do right in living one's life, playing out the cockeyed theory that Jeremy is just too beautiful for this world, etc etc. This probably isn't a movie for everybody. On its own terms, it is nearly unwatchable because it is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned): It includes a glimpse of bare buttocks when the bullies tear off Powder's clothes and push him in a mud puddle :p

Naturally Destructive


















Walaupun gw suka banget sama binatang dan sangat gak tega kalau ngeliat binatang yang kurus kerempeng di kebun binatang atau baca berita yang isinya binatang disiksa sama manusia, tapi kalau dipikir-pikir gw jg punya andil dalam kerusakan alam deh kayanya, walau gw gak menyiksa binatangnya secara langsung..berikut list-nya:

1. Suka lupa mematikan AC kalau pergi
2. Kemana-mana naik kendaraan pribadi
3. Ngambil T.P (Toilet Paper) banyak-banyak
4. Karena takut gelap, gak mau tidur matiin lampu atau berada di ruang yang gelap
5. Mengaku care sama alam tapi gak melakukan apa-apa
6. Tahu kalau alam semakin 'marah', tapi gak mengubah kebiasaan

Dan kayanya masih ada kelakuan gw ke alam yang kurang sopan, tapi gak gw sadari. Gw sangat 'mengagumi' binatang2 yang ada di bumi, dan pas gw ambil judul TA, "Pusat Informasi Fauna Langka Indonesia", makin kebuka mata gw tentang binatang2 yang sebenarnya amat sangat oke tapi udah gak bisa gw lihat lagi, kaya: Kuau bergaris ganda, tikus hidung panjang, harimau jawa, dsb. Walau, ada juga sih yang punah karena emang udah gak bisa beradaptasi lagi sama alam.
Tapi dengan kelakuan gw yang kurang aware sama lingkungan sekitar, hasilnya pasti secara gak langsung bakal ngerusak habitat binatang itu dan bumi yang sekarang gw tempatin kan? Padahal gw suka amazed banget kalau ngeliat keindahan-keindahan alam yang gak ada dua-nya itu. Dan gw termasuk sayang dan peduli sama alam. Tapi kalau buang sampah sembarangan, gw gak loh ;-)

Oh nature, I'm so sorry... :-(

Are humans naturally destructive?

Movies: The Boy Who Could Fly (1986)

"Wish hard enough...love long enough...and anything's possible"




HELL YEAH another no-ordinary relationship movie again!

The story starts when Milly (Lucy Deakins) and her family move to a new neighborhood after her father recent suicide. She's in a pretty hard situation, because her mother is busy struggling with work and her GI Joe obsessed brother (Fred Savage) struggles with a neighborhood bully. Then, she meets a strange boy who lives next to her window called Eric (Jay Underwood).
Eric is an introverted silent type of a guy and a bit of a loner. He also has a huge fascination with flight. He lives with his drunken uncle after his parents killed in the tragic airplane crash when he was just a kid. And the only way he can believe in his reality is by believing he can fly. But, you know, nobody believes him, as human can't fly right?
Milly notices that everyone treats Eric differently cause he's autistic and doesn't really give a shit about anyone else or anything but flying. Then, she tries really hard to 'help' Eric and end up falls for him. It takes her the rest of the movie to figure out what to do about it. And yeah, you can guess the rest...

This is an incredibly long movie actually. The average flick clocking in at 98 minutes, this one soars in at a full 2 hours. Good for nostalgia though if it's been years since a viewing. So, if you haven't seen this flick then you should probably check it out!

i have a confession: i love dorks. And geeks. And weirdos. And misfits. Bespectacled, skinny, and socially awkward. I'd take Clark kent over Superman! lol. I tend to pine for boys who have the shy charm, the wit, the looks of Michael Cera from Juno and who knows his shit and isn't hiding behind a cliched macho front.

Moviemaking for Dummies

Bonne nuit people!


TERBAKAR CEMBURU (2010) from acha mono on Vimeo.

Film-video ini dibuat udah lama banget sekitar dua tahun yang lalu, old collection abis, pas gw masih pusing-pusing pra-TA yang gak lulus-lulus itu, tampang gw aja masih unyu gitu. 'Shooting'-nya sambil nunggu waiting list karaokean di NAV Ciwalk, iseng-iseng eh taunya jadi bencana. lol. Sequel-nya sebenernya udah ada dari lama, tapi rated NC-17 (No One 17 And Under Admitted), shooting-nya aja di hotel (NAHLO!), haha. Sequel yang BOMBASTIS sebenernya, tapi sayang, Acha gak mau publikasiin video-nya. Too bad.

By the way, film-video-sinetron apapun ini ceritanya tentang kisah cinta Issabela dan kekasihnya, Pablo yang perjalanan cintanya gak mulus gara-gara Pablo's bromance, Ricardo jealous sama Issabela. Karena diam-diam Ricardo suka sama Pablo. Nah, si Carlitta, Ricardo's bestfriend padahal naksir berat sama Ricardo yang caem itu. Sedangkan Isabella, Pablo, dan Ricardo pada gak tau apa aja yang terjadi.
Sinetron gak karuan ini shooting-nya di parkiran Ciwalk, Bandung. Malem-malem buta pula. Untung pada gak exorcist. lol.

Casts:

Isabella: Me
Ricardo: Panji Pradono
Pablo: Zicco Hudyoro
Carlitta: Acha Mono

Mudah-mudahan gak pada mimpi buruk. amin. lol.

"10...9...8...7...6...

5...4...3...2...1...HAPPY NEW YEAR!"


Well, i spent my new year's eve at home, with my sister. No big party, no booze, no loud music, etc etc.  The truth is, i'm not a huge fan of NYE, but frankly, i do love spending my NYE with my sister (or friends, in a low key setting). I don't believe if someone says that the way you spend NYE reflects how the rest of the year will be spent.

And this is how i spent my NYE:


( we got a house to blow up! lol. my neighbour's dog was barking all nite long~. Those firecrackers are "basian" from last year Ied btw)

(our new friend, Jajang, the lizard)


No matter where or how you spent your NYE, i wish you all a wonderful year ahead Je te souhaite une bonne annĂ©e! :-]

Reog Rage

"I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don't think that's only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that."

"You Don't Know...



...what you have until it's gone."

Dulu, kalau gw denger kata-kata diatas pasti gw langsung mikir "ah too cliche!". Cemeeeen.. if something's gone, just replace it with the new one, as simple as that, as easy as A B C. Kenyataannya, kadang kalau gw ada didalam 'masa-masa' tersebut gw langsung menyusun seribu rencana & berpikir keras gimana caranya biar gw bisa cepet-cepet ngelewatin itu semua, ninggalin semuanya dibelakang and start a new life.
Contohnya saat gw milih buat ninggalin sastra prancis UI dan pindah ke ITB, saat gw terjerumus di interior ITB, gagal mata kuliah, TA, dll dll dan saat gw ngerasa Jakarta was better than Bandung. Gw udah pengen cepet-cepet dadah bye bye. But what happened was...saat gw udah lulus dan ninggalin semua Bandung dan semua isinya dibelakang, gw mulai merengek-rengek tentang gimana Bandung 10x much better than Jakarta, kangen semua teman-teman deket, ITB, interior (wtf), dan gimana dulu semua tuh asik. YES, pain in the ass banget gw emang.
Jadi yang cliche itu sebenernya pattern hidup gw. Pengen ini, dapet, nyesel, kangen yang lama, gak sesuai, ninggalin, setelah dapet this so-called "new life" gw mulai kangen sama masa-masa lalu. FUCK! Mulai deh whining about missing 'the good old days'. yeah, same old..same old. CLICHE! bosen gw. sumpah. Tapi, yang berlalu ya biar aja berlalu, kenyataannya gw g bisa balik lg atau ngulang lagi kayak mata kuliah pra-TA atau studio DI 5 Pak Andri yang sampai 3x itu plus manajemen proyek. :-p
So, now, what i'm going to do is..appreciate every little things in my life. Disappointment, potholes, happiness, joy, "a so-called ex -boyfriend/best friend- dump me and flush me down the toilet." kinda thing, etc etc. cheers! ha ha ha. --> *tertawa dalam durjana*

Movies: Ghost World (2001)



"Rebecca: This is so bad it's almost good.
Enid: This is so bad it's gone past good and back to bad again."


Ghost World is basically about an "unyu" no ordinary friendship between two couple people, directed by Terry Zwigoff. Enid (Thora Birch) and Rebecca (Scarlett Johansson) are two socially anomalous best friends who after graduating from high school, struggle to adapt to an adult world of disappointment. The unusual friendship between Enid and Seymour (the amazing! Steve Buscemi) strikes up after Enid and Becca setting up a prank meeting with a lonely, painfully shy, dork, middle-aged subscriber, Seymour, whilst loosening her friendship bond with Becca.


The movie itself is based on the comic book of the same name by Daniel Clowes. I never read the comic but i really enjoy the movie. Personally, because i like open-ended movies (they have more of a "real life" feeling) and all the characters in the movie are extremely strong. But i guess, all the credit goes to Thora, she plays Enid quirkily awesome. I ENVY her 'cause she gets to wear a wide variety of cool and colorful costumes!

Check this out! COOL RIGHT?

SOME SCENES: 


BEST CULT MOVIE EVERRR! and i'm in love with Seymour (the character, not Steve Buscemi) btw. He is adorkable. Long live the geeks! lol. <3 :-]
