| A bit of a flashback... |
Today's a good day...starting off with ini hari senin dan nggak ada ngantor alias libur... how can anyone say no to THAT? hehehhe...trus udara lagi bersahabat, well at least pagi sampe siang matahari muncul nggak malu malu walaupun agak sore-an hujan tetap mengguyur my part of town..

Jadilah gue-Iman sama Ramadhan (yang lagi nginep di rumah karena ngungsi dari para gadis cacar) jalan jalan ke Mall setempat yang hwuiddddih ramenya! liat film... kurang ada yang napsuin, daripada nggak ada yang ditonton kita pun nyoba nonton kambing jantan-nya Raditya Dika...overall filmnya dimata gue so-so...kalo lo nggak pernah baca bukunya mungkin lo bisa bilang 'blahh' but well filmed I must say...

The part yang bikin gue rada semangat justru waktu kita nunggu filmnya main, kita mampir ke gramedia buat liat liat buku...dan gue stumbled upon satu rak buku yang isinya Enid Blyton's books...you know laaah novel series macem lima sekawan dkk. Gue liat sederet novel seri Mallory Towers dan ended up beli dari semester pertama di Mallory Towers sampe kelas lima di Mallory Towers! Gilaaaaaaa...ol'skool abbis tuh buku buku...gue jadi inget pertama kali gue baca seri seri ini mungkin gue masih di SD. And here I am...reading them again... :) it sure brought back memories...Blyton's books are so classic! I wonder if kids nowadays masih tertarik buat baca buku bukunya beliau. If they don't...they should...

Hmm...jadi inget just last week gue juga beli lagi seri Pippi Langstrump-nya Astrid Lindgren waktu Gramedia pameran di sekolah gue buat acara "Give a book to Indonesia" di Indonesia Week... gosh, these books are probably the reason I love reading so much...
cheers :),

| The Transporter 3 |
Last night Iman and I went to see the 3rd sequel of the transporter at Bekasi Square...(hehehhe where else?) The theater was nice, not too full since people here were more interested in watching some local slapstick comedy or Bolt, which I recently watched already...so yeah, we're flying free. Got us perfectly good seats, and there we were nibbling on some beng bengs we got earlier.
Over all, the plot was very transporter-y...as you prolly know already if you've watched the other 2 sequels, Frank Martin the cold face driving wonder needed to deliver Valentina, a kidnapped Ukrainian Minister's daughter from Marseilles to Odessa. And ofcourse, the course will not be THAT simple. With a whim-wham sham-a-lam transporter style car chases with the well known Black Audi and Frank Martin's martial art super wonder along the way, the movie leads us to a steamy relationship between Frank and Valentina.
Pretty interesting and entertaining... fun, and it scored a 7 out of 10 in my book :)
happy watching...Labels: movies, reviews |

| Diary of a Wimpy Kid.... |
As a wimpy kid myself, I was pretty lured to read this book just reading the title. Actually, my friend Rita introduced me to this easy read - fun book a while ago and she lent her first copy of the book for me. I was pretty keen on finishing it since i found it hilarious and hard to put down! This book is a very truthful straight-to-the-bone honest daily things that could happen to a middle schooler anywhere. Kudos to Jeff Kinney, he wrote it in a way it sounds funny yet leading the readers to come up with their own sense of 'doing what's right'. I can so relate to the book since the kid in me was yelling, "deja vu!" while reading some of the stories...hehehhe. Jeff Kinney also added some of his cool cartoons as the illustrations, which jazz the book up some more. I'm liking his style!
I think this book would make a great gift for your late elementary to middle school boys... a good read indeed.
Jeff Kinney also have the online version of the book in his website, so give it a go, maybe you'll smile and think...i've been in that kinda situation when i was a kid :)

| Entertainment catching up this week! -Twilight- |
My my my...just realized that I have been missing out on some of the goodies lately when it comes to common entertainments due to my extra crammed-up workloads...luckily now i have the privilege and the time to do some catch up on that department! Starting with movies...
Recently everywhere I go I keep on hearing raves and comments about Twilight the movie. Well, actually I have heard about this best selling novel by Stephenie Meyer turned big hit movie from quite a while ago from the Middle School-High School Library. I have always wondered what's all the big fuss about, but the books were sooo hot and wanted i was never getting any chance to lay my hands on one, until the friggin movie was released!
The "girls" (by that i meant my elementary students) were always asking me if I'm gonna go watch the movie soon. Some moms even told me that it's a must see and some of them even went to see the movie like 4 times! That sure gave me a big push. I got to see this! :) And finally one 'easy' night, I succeeded in dragging Iman mijn liebchen to watch it in EX after work. We got one of the front seaters...(sucks!)but luckily the seat was quite comfy I didn't mind it that much.
To cut to the chase here's what the main idea's about: Twilight tells a story about Bella a girl recently moved in to live with her father in a small town Forks, DC. There she met an interesting guy, Edward Cullen who never failed to surprise her with his extraordinary charms...until Bella found out that he's actually a "vegetarian" vampire. And the story rolls from there. Over all I thought that was a good teen romance. Entertaining with easy on the eyes casts. pretty cool effects, and it lead me to finally gave up, and just buy the damn books. Hehehhe.... Iman as I had predicted thought it was pretty girlie and plain. Aww well, I couldn't really sell the 'Edward Cullen' cuteness charms point on him, I suppose! ehhh, nevermind..
So, yeah...I'm on the first book now out of the 3 that have been released, so far the book offered more detailed graphic in my head...with that cute Edward Cullen from the movie, though...played by Robert Pattinson.
