unsaid but hopefully well written

last night i stayed awake until 1 a.m after watching 2 great movies, Pocahontas and Princess Diaries 2 : The Royal Engagement. I love both of the movies. I Highly Recommend the movies!


Pocahontas is a movie about an Indian girl who met an English man. The English were actually going to take over the land of the Indian so they practically become an enemy, but on the contrary, they fall to each other. Besides the movie, I also heart the songs. Well, basically I am into any musical drama, so I really enjoy the songs and also the pictures.
Unfortunately, the credit title was being cut so there's no If I Never Knew You song being performed. The song is sooo... nice, I love it!

Princess Diaries 2 : The Royal Engagement is a story based on the characters by Meg Cabot. Yes, the first movie of Princess Diaries based on a book by Meg Cabot; The Princess Diaries, one of my favorite book.

Anyway, the movie is about Mia Thermopolis who is a princess of a small country called Genovia. She is the only princess in the country and ready to be a queen to take over her Grandmother role, but there is somebody who wants to take the throne for her. It's a chick-flick anyway, so at least Mia, who already had a husband-to-be, fall into Lord Deveraux whose uncle wants to take the throne for her.
I love the soundtrack : Breakaway from Kelly Clarkson and A Love that will Last from Renee Olstead. The actress and actors were good. I like Anna Hathaway (as Princess Mia), Julie Andrews (as Grandmother), and also Chris Pine (as Lord Deveraux), they were good. One strange thing is that the WHOLE movie using English while Genovia is a country that used French language (if im not mistaken)


Oh, and Julie Andrews also appeared in one timeless musical drama : The Sound of Music. It's also a worth-to-watch movie!

Both of the movie shows that Disney's TIMELESS! I LOVE DISNEY!!

anyway, Cheaper by the Dozen is on tv tonight. Keep on watching!!

it's been a long time since i watch movies, yang terakhir adalah angels and demons, biasanya gue nggak suka nonton di bioskop karena sayang uangnya kalau ternyata filmnya horror atau nggak memuaskan, mendingan nonton di TV, kan sekarang tiap hari selalu ada film di TV. Cuma karena emang gue bukan orang yang biasa tidur malem (kecuali untuk nonton BBF :p) usually i only watch a part of the movie, especially for those that start from 9 p.m. so, eventhough the holidays is closer to an end, i havent watched so much. here is the list :

1. The Metro Chase

it takes place in Paris. Tells a story about a 8-years-old boy who lost in Paris and being searched by his 18 years-old sister and her friends. But accidentally, he comes to an amazing adventure about chasing pickpockets.

Filmnya.. bagus, menurut gue. Dan walaupun flashback, tapi nggak bikin bingung. But seriously, I dont think the backpacker that appeared in the movie has a point. yahh.. walaupun dia ngebantuin kakaknya nyariin si adik yang hilang itu (karena alasan lain), tapi tetep aja kayaknya kalo nggak ada dia juga filmnya bakalan sama aja.



2. Dreams Come True

about three girls that had their own dream and suddenly had it comes true in such unexpectable ways. dua dari tiga orang yang jadi tokoh utama itu malahan tertukar satu sama lain dan orang terakhir dianggap jadi satu-satunya yang bisa nuker mereka balik, padahal dia juga punya masalah sendiri.

if i have to choose one, i would like to choose FREAKY FRIDAY than this movie. The idea is quite similiar anyway. Di film ini kayaknya semuanya jadi cepet banget. Nggak ada adegan jelas yang nunjukkin kalo mereka sama-sama sadar soal keinginan masing-masing dan pokoknyaa... gitu lah. Kesimpulannya gue nggak suka film ini and too bad i cant find the poster too.

3. Lilo and Stitch 2

tells a story about stitch that becomes bad again and this changing makes his relationship with Lilo somehow broke apart.

i LOVE the movie. Disney's always timeless anyway, tapi gue bener-bener suka film ini. apalagi waktu Lilo mau ikut kontes nari hula dan gurunya bilang kalo ibunya juga dulu menang kontes itu waktu masih seumuran dia. Film ini menunjukkan bahwa true friend do exist, and even a hula dance competition is nothing compared to a friendship. I Highly Recommend this movie!

4. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Another movie about Harry's adventure in Hogwarts. tentang ceritanya, yahh... semua orang juga pasti tau lahh.

Sebenernya gue nggak mau nonton film ini karena gue udah baca bukunya dan tau kalo akhirnya Cedric Diggory mati. Beneran deh, gue nggak suka film kalo ada mati-matinya, makanya pas adegan di graveyard gue ganti channelnya. Tapi sebenernya film ini lumayan oke, kok. Dan Daniel Radcliffe bukannya nggak oke rambutnya gondrong begitu, hhe.. (but still i prefer his shorter hair). Tapi daripada film, menurut gue, ya, mendingan baca bukunya soalnya lebih detail dan.. okelah, pokoknya.

5. Spiderman

Peter Parker changes from an ordinary-nerdy boy into an amazing superhero.

Gue selalu ingin nonton film ini dari awal sampai akhir tapi nggak pernah kesampean. Semalem juga gue nontonnya cuma setengah doang, tapi yaa... filmnya emang oke, sih. Makanya, mungkin lain kali gue akan berusaha untuk nonton full! And eventhough i just watch a bit of it, i highly recommend this movie.


well, that's all. Anyway, there will be Pocahontas for tonight, and Toy Story for Tuesday (if im not mistaken)

keep on watching then!

so, i've been spending almost three days to complete reading this book and now im going to review it.

Title : Nightmare Academy
Author : Dean Lorey

Paperback Synopsis :

Charlie Benjamin kerap berlaku aneh, janggal dan membahayakan orang lain. Tiada prasekolah atau playgroup yang mau menampungnya. Baginya, tiada kawan bermain, menggambar dan menyanyi. Charlie membuat semua orang takut. Satu sebab : karena dia jenius!

Tidurpun menjadi kegiatan mengerikan baginya. Saat bermimpi buruk, tanpa sadar dia buka sebuah portal menuju dunia Nether, menghadirkan monster super ganas seperti Barakkas dan monster Hag yang gemar mengendus-endus ketiak. Akibatnya, lingkungannya porak-poranda.

Reading this novel reminding me about reading Harry Potter : Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. The main characters in the books, Charlie Benjamin and Harry Potter are rejected and having a secret ability without realizing at the first time. The different is that Harry Potter have something called magic and Charlie Benjamin have an imagination that can open a gate to a place called netherworld, where strange creatures live and try to rule the earth.

Even the friends of Charlie, Violet and Theodore, make me thinking about Hermione and Ron. They don't even want to be a friend at the beginning, right?

But afterall, the idea of the story is quite good. I love the idea about having nightmare to open the gate to the Netherworld, a world of bad creatures. It seems so simple and explains why people said that there are monsters under our bed. The description is... also good, eventhough i dont really like the way it translated but that's way good though.

this book is kind of ok.

finally i can go back to gramedia and discount bookstore again!

buying books, besides watching atashinchi no danshi (hehe...) is one of good thing to spend your long holiday. when i was in bandung, i often bought my books at palasari or togamas. you should have been familiar to palasari because it's one of great book market when we can get discount up to 20%. togamas is... well, a modern version of palasari i guess. the store also gives the customer 15% discount or even higher in high season.
when i got back to depok, i can't seem to find a place where i can spend my money in buying books because i LOVE discount sooo... much, and i can't stand shopping in gramedia since i know that i can get the books in lower prices in other places. for me, the smaller amount you spend for shopping the better.

and today, my friend told me to go to TM Bookstore at Depok Town Square when i asked her to accompany me to gramedia. So we browsed the books at gramedia and then go to TM Bookstore to buy the books because TM Bookstore is a DISCOUNT BOOKSTORE, just like togamas in bandung.

yeeeeeah! i love discount :D

anyway, this is the book that i bought today:


gotta go then, i'm in the middle of watching atashinchi no danshi!

I'm now BEING ADDICTED to atashinchi no danshi drama, well.. in my condition, as a jobless person with a 24/7 internet connection what else that you can do anyway? don't blame me for this, besides the drama is really interesting..
the story is good. that's the first point. I don't watch drama if the story doesn't suit me, that's why i don't stand watching soap opera.
the movie is funny. i love watching the expression of the cast, that's why i do watch Korean drama too, hhe.
Mukai Osamu has a role as Okura Sho. yeeeeiy! and for this reason, i urge you to start watching this drama, and anyway, this is him :

this is my first time watching japan drama, and if my friend didn't recommend this drama show to me, i think i will never watch it. thanks to her :D.

by the way, this drama-thing makes me understand about my friend obsession about japan when we were in junior high school. before this, i have never think about learning any language but English and Germany (since i was obsessed to study in that country), and now i wish i can understand japan more than i do now.

is it a good point?

im a moody kind of person and feel bad about that.. and now i feel like i am not on my best mood, so i browse for a new song to download in 4shared (of course! i'm not an expert in download-things so i'm used to do it in the most simple way :p)

last night, i was listening to some old-school songs that was my favorite when i was on my junior high school. The songs are :
1. We Could Be In Love by Lea Salonga feat. Brad Kane
2. Greatest Love of All by Whitney Houston
3. When You Believe by Whitney Houston feat. Mariah Carey
4. A Whole New World by Peabo Bryson feat. Regina Belle
i know the songs are soo... last year for some people, or maybe kinda boring. but before listening to nowadays-band (no offense :D) I LOOOVEE these songs sooo... much.

i think sometimes we need to refresh our mind by thinking about good things that had happened in the old times. or about things that used to be our favorite,

the old times are not a things to forget anyway, let's see that in such different way!
cheer up!

i went to Bandung on Sunday and got back here on tuesday.. coba tebak gue ngapain aja di bandung?

pertama-tama, gue transit di cimahi. trus ditinggal ke undangan sama sepupu-sepupu gue abis itu ke pizza hut dan makan seakan-akan gue udah nggak makan dua hari. soalnya gue makan dua slice pan personal, es krim mix and fun, setengah gelas coca cola, minuman yang warnanya ijo ama satu slice american favourite yang large.. abis itu gw ke asrama trus gak makan malem, hhe..

hari kedua, gue ikut temen-temen gue ke sekolah abis itu mendengar kabar kalo pengumuman UNnya baru jam satu siang. dan karena temen-temen gue sibuk intensif di kelas buat persiapan snmptn, jadi gue menggaring sendirian sambil baca komik. lucky me, in lunch time, they came and asked me to tell them about HOT SHOT!! yeeee, asikk, akhirnya gue bisa cerita jugaa!

tapi ternyata temen gue ada yang suka banget sama tokoh Yuan Da Ying yang lebaaaayyy abis di drama itu. trus pas temen-temen gue lagi serius-seriusnya ngedengerin ceritanya Dong Fang Xiang sama Zhan Jie Er, dia protes-protes gitu.. temen-temen gue jadi protes juga soalnya kan orang sukanya ama Dong Fang Xiang bukannya sama Yuan Da Ying, tapi dia heboh sendiri. pas lagi jaman-jamannya twilight saga juga, pas kita semua suka sama Edward Cullen dia sendiri malah ngefans sama jacob sampe bilang ' kalo Jacob bahagia baru aku tenang..'
jadi trus temen gue yang lain bilang, 'kamu pernah pengalaman jadi orang ketiga, ya?' hha... dasar, dasar..

yahh, jadi kangen lagi gue..

setelah temen-temen gue masuk kelas lagi, gue baru tahu kalo ternyata pengumuman un itu baru jam 3, abis intensif selese.. jadi gue ngegaring lagi sambil baca komik. untungnyaaa... gue dipinjemin komik banyaaakkk... banget!

kemudian, dateng deh jam 3-nya.. alhamdulillah.. gue dan temen-temen gue lulus.

Abis itu gue dan temen-temen gue disuruh nunggu surat buat orang tua gitulah, pengumuman resmi yang ada nilai-nilainya.. jadi gue ngobrol lagi sama temen-temen gue trus cerita film korea lagi, hha! bisa-bisa gue gak boleh dateng lagi nihh, dikirain ngeracunin orang-orang dengan cerita-cerita korea!

Temen-temen gue yang nge-camp super intensif pada mandi deh selama gue cerita, abis itu tiba-tiba aja kita disuruh solat maghrib berjamaah, yahh.. betapa cepatnya waktu berlalu.. sebenernya gue pengen nginep sihh di sekolah, cuman udah malem dan baju gue ditinggal, jadi gue harus pulang.. dan selama gue belom pulang, kayaknya semua orang ngomong gini sama gue:

'Fitri.. pulang sana!' 'Fitri, kok masih di sini?' 'Loh, kok ngambil makanan? Emangnya udah bayar?'

aaarghh.. heran dehh, gue kan tamu jauh, emangnya nggak pada kangen ya, sama gue? hhe! becanda deh, semua orang juga becanda kook.. trus sekarang gue jadi kangeeennn!

yahh.. setelah dibagiin suratnya trus emang kita makan malem sihh, pake ayam kecap dan sayur sop dan kerupuk juga. abis itu baru gue pulang... senangnyaa ketemu lagi sama teman-teman gue yang ramai-ramai ituu.. tapi sedih juga, sihh.. the graduation thing is closer and closer everyday, it feels like we will going to be officially separated, eventhough i know that we'll meet again often since it's not a difficult thing to make 26 people gathering in a reunion, hhe.. but high school time is THE BEST!!

missing you all :
