Julie and Julia, scrumptious dishes

Paul Child: What is it you REALLY like to do?

Julia Child: Eat!

I cant even start to tell you how I'm so inspired by "Julie&Julia" movies, I watched it for 3 times. Frankly, the first and the second time I watch it, I fell asleep. Cause i started no from the beginning, that made me didn't understand anything, so i dozed off. But yesterday, I watched it from the beginning, and all i can say is I loveeeee this movie!

It is based on two true stories, two women in different places and different times.

In 1950 Julia Child moved to France because her husband was assigned there by the American Embassy. While trying to get some excitement in France, she realizes that French cooking is the best she’s tasted. She immediately enrolls in the Cordon Bleu School. There she struggled to graduate because no woman had ever graduated before her.

Long story short she became an amazing writer, her book is all about French cuisine, but written in an easy-to-understand style for American housewives.

The other character which is Julia Powell is set in the year 2000. She lives with her husband, and they moved to Queens, in an apartment above a pizza parlor. She works in a dead beat insurance company, as a customer service that takes peoples complaint day by day. Thats until she found joy at cooking, and she became so obssesed with the book "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" by Julia Child. So she started to cook 524 recipes in 365 days, yap in one year!

As I mentioned in the beginning, Julie & Julia is a great movie. From the fashion to the food, this movie gave me a sense of what is was like for a strong American woman like Julia Child during the 1940s. The outfits that Julie Powell wore were perfect too, in the sense that you really didn't notice them. Fashion in those times was about the classic look (a look that I still

love) full of tailored skirt suits and gorgeous stacked high heels

The funny part is they have so much in common in their lives. A huge ambition, great passion in cooking, and a supportive husband. Both women receive much support from their husbands, you can see a warm and mutual understanding relationship. They worked like a great team, and support each other.

Oh how I so wish I could be like them. Living in a small apartment in France or New York City, with a supportive, warmth husband that always work alongside me. I will cook for him everyday, and he will love to eat all my dishes.

If you are a foodie, I highly recommend you this movie,this is one of the biggest food porn movies.. :)

Her Morning Elegance



Sorry I'm Late

please stop it, I'm fed up

Life have been so ridiculous lately.

at one point I'm tired being treated like this

I wish I could fly pass through time,

the time where there's always a warm hug for me

the time where no one ever judge me like now

the time where I could shared all my thoughts

the time where I could laugh freely

the time where I could do all the silly things

and of course the time where..you were here the one who used to be turned my frown upside down..

Need You Now- Lady Antebellum

Friends are like elevator buttons, they can either take you up or bring you down,

choose wisely

I'm not born for that

It feels like living in this world nowadays is not effin' easy, you gotta make yourself fit like in some environment or group.

and sometimes you did some stuffs that you don't like..and the reason why you do it? is just to make them accept and admit you. Kid, it happens when you can't do with on your own.

I've been to places of "it-can-give-you-happiness"

I saw tons of people who were trying to get as high as possible,sneak in the dark, then getting lost in the music with watery red eyes, acting like there's nothing happenend, show them that they are fine..

Then I thought about it, is this what the world calls "cool" today?

I could smoke packs of ciggarette,drunk alcohol as much as I want, smoke pot,

but still wouldnt be satisfied. I feel that..I'm not live for that.

Maybe you think I'm hypocrite living in the double life,admiring God, but still playing around to fulfill my lust and desire with this.

Trust me, I'm just a normal human, I'm weak

I've been thinking about it a lot, having fun at the night then feel guilty in the next morning. and I keep doing that.. In some points I feel tired. I found my self that I was chasing a life full of lies and emptiness. I realize that what used to be cool doesn't excite me anymore.

I stared at the fake I've made, and feel like I'm one of the social trends slave.

So here I am, pull my self from those "cool" stuff and keep trying to close to my Dad.my everything.my true happiness.

I'm thinking 'What the hell?'

Love hurts, whether it's right or wrong
I can't stop 'cause I'm having too much fun

You're on your knees,
beggin' please,'stay with me'
But honestly, I just need to be a little crazy

All my life I've been good but now,
I'm thinking 'What the hell'
All I want is to mess around,
and I don't really care about
If you love me, if you hate me,
you can't save me, baby, baby
All my life I've been good but now,
whoa 'What the hell'

So what if I go out on a million dates
You never call or listen to me anyway
I'd rather rage than sit around and wait all day
Don't get me wrong,
I just need some time to play (yeah)

Boys will be boys..won't they?

It's midnight and as usual this is the time where my brain is at its most active.haha..

So i'm gonna tell what's been going through my mind. Maybe i dont talk about this too often, but it just popped into my mind all of a sudden.

Its about boys,

first of all i admit that im not a very committed person, because i fell that i'm still young and still wanna play so i try to avoid serious comitments, you can call me imature, but for me comittment is kinda creepy, especially comitment with boys.

For me boys is like a rollercoaster ride, sometimes they make me feel like i'm floating other times umm..not that good. I often hear boys say "girls are complicated" but for me as a girl, i have a hard time to figuring out boys. No offense, but guys like to lie, feel like they know EVERYTHING *smart-ass*, they burp A LOT, they have a HUGE ego, they're stupid at finding stuffs, only have sex on their brain, attention seeker, they DON'T LISTEN , have TONS of excuses, likes doing stupid stuff, hyperactive, and they seem to cant find the balance between hyperactive and just being plain ignorant.. well thats boys generally, from my personnal experience..

For me i dont wanna get ahead of myself, but when i think about mariage. I'm scared that he will change from what he was when we were dating, like, opening doors, carrying my groceries, listen to my complaints, etc. Its because my mom told me that marriage is like hell, marriage wont always beautiful like in the fairy tale, theres no "happily ever after" after marriage.

Some people have told me how scary marriage is, and not often the husband becomes violent and cheats eventhough he was super sweet when they were dating. Religion and a good family doesnt gurantee him to be a good husband, often times it seems like they are wearing masks to hide what they really are, thats why marriage is so unpredictable. Even now mom often complains to me how dad becomes more cuek, ceplas-ceplos, serampangan. i'm not telling you that i dislike my father.. Noo.. I love and respect him so much.

But the small things that they people tell me about marriage builds up and scares me, thats why i'm not in a hurry to marry soon. i want to be sure that im mature and responsible enough, because like reff. Jefry Rachmat say "You will atract people that is similar to you." So girls, dont worry, the perfect man will come to you when you perfected yourself.

Well, I'm talking about this, because a lot of my friends are getting married soon, and the whole thought of it creeps me out.hmpf..

your absence

Alex and I, we have a long distance relationship. I know that before we had a long distance relationship but now its even further because he moved to France for his studies. I'm kinda upset cause I'm not use to for this sick long relationship. Imagine this, between Indo-France there's a 6 hours difference, whenever its time for me to go to bed he's just gone out of campus.. So we've just have a little time to chat.. Well maybe its just too much for me to handle in a short time,being like this kinda makes me sick
Maybe I have to make myself busy, so I won't think about it too much..

Brand New Day!

Going back to Jakarta for college, and I can feel how lazy it is to start over again.
I've got no stories to tell, so I'll just post my latest trip to Hongkong which is a of couple weeks ago.well the weather there was so cold, and the wind is blew strong. So I've got an excuse to wear a fancy winter coat, as I'm living in tropical country if you havent noticed :p






Sat Morning at The Avenue of Stars




scrumptious egg pie

Sleeping Beauty's Castle

All I can say about this trip is EXHAUSTED definitely yet fun..In just one day we can go in 6 different places from early morning until late at night.. As I'm not a morning person, it's so hard for me to push myself to stay awake..and it adds the suffering when I got a cold and fever because of the fatigue..Blah!
To be frank, I was pleased to be there. It's a place which lovely and very chic crowded. I met a lot of interesting people, and there are so many Indonesian in that country. It's so weird walking down street of another country and overhearing someone behind you talking in Indonesian language and a few of them actually spoke Javanese, feels like I'm in the Tunjungan Plaza or something..haha.
A memorable place for me was Disneyland, seems like I'm the only one who was so happy to be there, my fam is not too excited though, all they want is just to go out to another place like before. And I beg to them to stay there until the fireworks display, I don't want to pass it again just like when I went to there before. So we stayed there about.. 7 hours with the super cold weather! haha. But hey! it was worth it to be waited, they loovee the fireworks indeed..
And how about my new year event? I don't feel like talking about it, it was crowded, crap and energy draining!And we didn't get any fun of it..Case closed!
