SilverQueen Bites

beberapa waktu lalu, gua ngeliat suatu bungkus aneh di dalam tong sampah deket rumah gua. bungkus snack, ada tulisannya SilverQueen Bites. those guys over at the SilverQueen factory are at it again!! so i told a fellow SilverQueen maniac about it, and zealously said that i would investigate into that matter as soon as possible.

ternyata snack misterius itu sulit dicari, mungkin waktu itu mereka baru tes pasar atau gimana, tapi gua cari-cari ke supermarket supermarket terkemuka (caelah) gak ketemu-ketemu.

2-3 bulan berlalu, dan kemarin, kebetulan gua harus beli beberapa hal di Hero deket rumah gua. waktu bayar di kasir, mata gua menangkap sebuah benda: SilverQueen Bites!! and just in time for the release of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory too! i smell a conspiracy here... hmm..

anyway.. gua beli beberapa bungkus, dan ini hasil investigasi atas snack misterius tersebut.

bentuk isi SilverQueen Bites

seperti yang tertulis pada bungkusnya, snack ini adalah kacang mente berlapis coklat SilverQueen. begitu bungkusnya dibuka, makhluk-makhluk coklat itulah yang akan terlihat. bentuknya seperti kacang merah (sebetulnya seperti kacang mente, but i dont wanna be too obvious). ukurannya lebih besar sedikit dari kacang mente (again, i dont wanna be too obvious).

bagian dalam SilverQueen Bites

i'm a skeptic person, gua gak mau percaya gitu aja sama tulisan di bungkus snack itu, with all the false endorsement around us, i think i have the right to be skeptic. gua pingin liat apa bener snack ini adalah kacang mente berlapis coklat, jadi gua ambil pisau, dan gua potong. dan ternyata.. benar saudara-saudara!! di dalam lapisan coklatnya ada kacang mente. which is my fave kind of nuts.

sekian investigasi saya, ternyata SilverQueen Bites adalah kacang mente berlapis coklat, persis seperti tulisan pada bungkusnya. buat yang penasaran rasanya kayak apa, bayangkan coklat SilverQueen biasa, tapi dengan lebih banyak kacang mente :D . for the SilverQueen maniac out there (yes you, you know who you are) this article is written especially for you, rejoice!! heheheh

Studio Ghibli

I've watched a fair share of Studio Ghibli's features. I've watched Laputa, Spirited Away, Porco Rosso, The Cat Returns, Only Yesterday, Kiki's Delivery Service, and My Neighbor Totoro, and i have to say, i applaud them for their consistency. bukan cuma konsistensi gaya gambar, kualitas gambar, dan ceritanya yang selalu bagus, tapi juga tone dan feel dari karya karya mereka.

Setiap kali abis nonton filmnya Ghibli, ada satu perasaan yang hampir pasti timbul.. that "it's-Sunday-afternoon-tomorrow's-Monday-I've-got-to-go-back-to-school/work
-gimme-my-childhood/youth-back" kinda feeling.

poster "The Cat Returns"

That said, satu nasihat yang bisa gua berikan, jangan nonton film bikinan Studio Ghibli di Minggu sore, apalagi setelah keluarga elo baru pulang setelah datang berkunjung untuk akhir minggu, hehehe..

gadis' birthday

tanggal 12 kemarin ultahnya si gadis. jadi gua dan rere pergi ke jakarta untuk makan2 sama keluarga.. ini ada beberapa foto-fotonya.

the birthday girl with her puny little cake.. courtesy of Cafe Pisa :)
happy birthday sis!

my cousin, Rizky acting up. his expression looks a bit like Calvin's in Calvin and Hobbes strips ,
don't you think?

the mandatory family pic, almost the whole gang.
the ones from my father's side already went home when i took this pic.

on the other side of the story, i had some misfortune. mobil gua ketabrak sama mobil box, well, gak ketabrak sih.. keserempet. *sumpah bukan gua yang salah!! tanya aja ama adek gua* bempernya robek, jadi terpaksa gua tinggal di jakarta karena asuransinya di jakarta. oh well..

(jadi kalo ada yang nanya kenapa gua gak jadi beli lensa... ya ini lah... )

my poor baby... those good people at the shop will fix you good darling

my new lens

my new AF-D Nikkor 80-200mm F4.5

hari sabtu kemaren gua beli lensa :D. range 80-200mm, bukaan F4.5, pinginnya sih bukaan F 2.8 , apa daya duit gak punya :D. lensa ini tajem juga hasilnya

chocolate (esti's birthday)

kemaren (tanggal 6) itu ultahnya esti, jadi gua, esti, angga, tanz, firdy, dan icha makan di cafe du chocolat. we ordered chocolate fountain. and i have to say that it's one crazy meal. imagine a fountain, the kind that scatter all over europe's old intersections, this fountain is about 1/50 smaller, and covered with flowing 1 kg of chocolate. crazy shit eh?

for the dips we had marsmallows, strawberries, and biscuit sticks.

we started dipping, eating, until sometime in the middle, almost everyone of us had chocolate madness. we started hearing things we thought others said, but nobody really did, and we started having strange interpretations of things. now i understand why the mayans ( or was it the incans? i cant really remember) said that chocolate is the food of the gods... if so, the gods are having a heck of a crazy time eating that stuff.

chocolate is hallucinogenic

a freshly dipped marshmallow


oooh.... look at those strawberries :D

*more photos comin up*

RRRAAAAANNNTTTZZZ!!

i think i should let you know that you're one of the best things that ever happened to me

review: woman is the future of man

ok.. kemaren gua nonton film korea dipinjemin sama si angga. judulnya "Woman Is The Future Of Man".
filmnya eksistensialis banget... eksistensialis disini artinya: gak ada plot, gak ada kejutan-kejutan, gak ada klimaks.. the film just exist without serving any kind of purpose and without sending any kind of message. hahaha

anyway.. ceritanya mulai waktu dua orang teman lama ketemu. yang satu baru pulang dari amrik, sutradara. yg satu masih tinggal di korea dan berkeluarga, dosen. kayaknya dua orang ini punya selera cewek yang sama. long story short, mereka mutusin ketemu sama seorang cewek, exnya si sutradara (yang setelah si sutradara pergi ke amrik, jadi exnya si dosen juga).

mereka ketemu si cewek, si cewek udah jadi manager bar (dan kayaknya 'hostess' professional). she bangs 'em both, in turns, si sutradara cemburu. si dosen ditinggalin, ketemu sama mahasiswa/i nya, trus jalan sama mahasiswinya, mahasiswinya gave a blowjob untuk si dosen. ada mahasiswa cemburu ngetok2 kamar motel tempat si mahasiswi dan dosen itu melakukan 'bisnis' nya, and that's it fellas... hehehe

no resolution at all.. which left me dazed and confused by the time the credits starts rolling... oh well..

reality check

it is i who wouldnt know what to do without you.

weekend rant once more

have you ever had those moments that your heart skipped a few beats, you dont really know why, yet you know it's not because something is physically wrong with it?

i had it twice, last night, and another one this morning.

things about roaches

gua benci banget sama kecoak sampe2 gua suka cari info2 tentang kecoak.. aneh ya? :|
well anyway, i think i'm gonna share some roach trivias

1. kecoak punya dua otak. satu di kepala, ini otak yg lebih canggih diantara keduanya, otak ini yg ngatur naluri untuk cari makan, tidur, dsb.. otak yg satunya, yang lebih primitif, ada di dekat kaki belakangnya. otak yg kedua ini ngatur insting untuk lari menghindar.
2. kalau seekor kecoak kehilangan kepalanya, dia masih bisa hidup sampai sekitar seminggu setelahnya. (karena masih punya satu otak lagi di belakang)
3. kecoak bisa bereaksi cepet banget untuk menghindar karena otaknya yang kedua. jadi sementara otaknya yang "canggih" (ya secanggih2nya otak kecoak gimana sih) masih mikir untuk makan dan segala macem, begitu dia ngerasa terancam, si otak yg kedua bisa langsung nyuruh si kecoak kabur tanpa nunggu konfirmasi otak pertama.
   
4. kecoak yg bisa terbang itu cuma kecoak betina
5. kecoak jantan punya semacam kait/capit di bagian belakang badannya yg digunakan untuk nempel ke kecoak betina waktu mereka kawin.
6. telor kecoak ukurannya sekitar 1 - 1.5 cm, keras, warnanya coklat tua hampir hitam, satu telor bisa netasin 12 bayi kecoak.
7. satu kecoak yang terlihat berarti ada sekitar 100 kecoak yg gak terlihat di daerah tersebut.
8. cara paling efektif ngebunuh kecoak pake air panas. gak beracun, tinggal dilap setelah kecoaknya mati huehehe
9. kalo kecoak dibunuh, dia bakal ngeluarin sejenis protein untuk memperingatkan kecoak lainnya. kalau protein ini kena kulit manusia, bakal bikin gatel2, jadi ati2 aja..
   
10. belom kepikiran.. nanti ditambahin.. huahaha
    

Batman Begins

"It's not what you are underneath but what you do that defines you."

tadi malem baru nonton salah satu film terbagus yg pernah gua tonton.. Batman Begins! :D Keren banget! gua suka cara Christopher Nolan memvisualisasikan Batman dan Gotham.

• Christian Bale cocok banget jadi Batman/Bruce Wayne, terutama karena sorot matanya yang pas banget, tajam dan agak sedikit prikopat.. hahaha.
  
• Michael Caine, well, kayaknya untuk aktor kawakan satu ini gak perlu komentar kan? Karakter Alfred jadi bagian yang sangat penting untuk film ini IMHO.
• Morgan Freeman,- Lucius Fox, kayaknya jadi kebiasaan dia jadi karakter paling cerdas di film2nya ya? hahaha... tapi bagus, he doesnt take his role too seriously, his character was fun to watch
• Gary Oldman - Patrolman/Sergeant/Lieutenant Gordon. ini orang tumben2an main jadi karakter protagonis.. hehehehe... tapi keren juga ngeliat aktingnya yang beda dari film-film lainnya
• Katie Holmes - Rachel Dawes. Karakter ini gak ada di komiknya, but well, i'm not complaining. it's just that her acting hasnt improve much from her Dawson days

All in all, it's a good cast. everybody can act exceptionally.

Now to the storyline. This is by far, the best superhero movie i've seen. really. REALLY. the character development is superb. the relationships between the character is also great! especially the one between Bruce and Alfred. Bale and Caine plays the dynamics between these two characters perfectly.
I really like the way Bale makes it obvious that Bruce Wayne persona is merely a facade for Batman.

If there's anything i would complain from this movie, it would be the fighting sequences. it's too jittery and blurry to comprehend. and after a while, it gets a bit repetitive.

should there be a number two and three? you betcha! it would be such a waste of material kalau nggak.

anyway, that's it for now. i'll append something later if anything came to my mind :)

weekend rant

Ask any guy what makes him fell for a particular girl, and you can almost guarantee
that the answer is "she has a good personality" or, "she has
the most beautiful eyes i've ever seen" or "she's got the hottest
body in the world" or something like that.

Let me tell you something. For me, it's more personal --more "detailed"
if you will-- than that.


I dont think that we could understand other people's personality that quickly.
We could spend an entire lifetime without knowing who we really are, let alone
who others are.


Beauty and good looks can capture the eyes, but not the heart.


For me, it's the little things that matter. It may be how she answered certain
questions, the way she tells a story. How she handle certain situations, or
the way she lay her eyes on me. But the thing that grabbed my heart usually,
is how she make me feel when she's around, or even when we talk over the telephone, or chat over the internet to be more contemporary :D. And yes, I know how selfish it sounds. :)


It's how she makes me feel to have a purpose waking up each day. How she makes
me feel I can do certain things I didnt know I could do (or things I didnt even
care doing before), without her even have to ask.


Anyway, just a weekend rant.. heheh.. have a good weekend everyone.


batman begins tonight! yay!

Vindicated

Dashboard Confessional

Hope dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption
Winding in and winding out
The shine of which has caught my eye
And roped me in
So mesmerizing, so hypnotizing I am captivated

(Chorus)
I am Vindicated
I am selfish
I am wrong
I am right
I swear I'm right
I swear I knew it all along
And I am flawed
But I am cleaning up so well
I am seeing in me now the things you swore you saw yourself

So clear
Like the diamond in your ring
Cut to mirror your intentions
Oversized and overwhelmed
The shine of which has caught my eye
And rendered me so isoloated, so motivated

I am certain now that

(Chorus)

So turn
Up the corners of your lips
Part them and feel my finger tips
Trace the moment, fall forever
Defense is paper thin
Just one touch and I'd be in
Too deep now to ever swim against the current
So let me slip away [3x]
So let me slip against the current and let me slip away

(Chorus)

Slight hope It dangles on a string
Like slow spinning redemption...

mimpi kehilangan sayapnya

di sebuah sore yang tak begitu istimewa, kudengar sesuatu menabrak jendela
di kaki jendela itu, di tepian kolam terlihat sesosok tubuh mungil
"kenapa kau?" tanyaku
"aku kehilangan sayapku" jawabnya
"siapa namamu?" tanyaku lagi
"aku Mimpi"
kenapa wajahnya begitu sendu, pikirku waktu itu.
lalu entah bagaimana, kami mulai bicara panjang lebar.
tentang aku, tentang dia, tentang dunia.

"kenapa sayapmu bisa hilang?" akhirnya meluncur dari mulutku
"karena kau" jawabnya, matanya yang bening itu menusuk jiwaku
"aku?"
"ya, kau"
lalu dia memalingkan muka kearah kolam , memperhatikan lebah yang hinggap sejenak diatas teratai.
"kau berhenti percaya padaku," katanya lagi.
"aku tak berhenti percaya padamu, aku hanya lupa bagaimana wajahmu," kataku
"sekarang kau ingat?"
"ya," kataku sambil mencoba membaca wajahnya
"lalu kenapa aku masih kehilangan sayapku?" tanyanya

kami berdua terdiam.

"mungkin karena aku takut membiarkanmu terbang lagi" jawabku

ia menolehkan kepalanya, menusukku sekali lagi dengan tatapannya, lalu tertunduk dan berkata, "atau mungkin... karena aku tak tahu harus terbang kemana."

the aviator

kemaren baru nonton the aviator.. keren. mustinya dapet best picture tuh. the movie's great, and it's about time martin scorsese's got one oscar for best picture in his pocket, dontcha think? on the other hand. kayaknya si leonardo dicaprio lagi menebus dosanya bermain di film titanic :D. oh, and kate beckinsale is so damn hot! :|

barusan dapat sms dari Anggit, adiknya Angga, katanya Angga udah melek, tadi dipanggil namanya juga udah noleh, udah ngerespon. Alhamdulillah... kondisinya udah lebih stabil. semoga operasinya bisa cepet dilaksanain dan berhasil dengan baik :)

tribute to a friend

Ardzuna "angga" Sinaga

Kemarin di kereta dalam perjalanan ke jakarta, tiba2 gua kebangun sama satu suara sms dari hape gua. SMS dari Kandi, isinya:

"Bal, Angga masuk ICU Borromeus. Pendarahan otak. Blm sadar. Bisa tlg jengukin. Salam dari gw bilang. Thx"

Pertama-tama gua bingung merespon SMS ini, pendarahan otak? Parah dong? Belum sadar. Masak sih? Angga kan sehat-sehat aja, kemarin dia baru SMS gua ngajakin renang. Susah percaya sama SMS itu. Tapi ternyata seberapa susahnya pun untuk dipercaya, SMS dari Kandi memang bener-bener terjadi. Angga, Ardzuna Sinaga, salah satu temen seangkatan gua yang paling deket emang masuk RS Borromeus karena pendarahan di salah satu bagian otaknya. Kenapa? Kecelakaan? Apa sebabnya?

Sampai di Jakarta, dari beberapa sumber, gua dapet info kejadian collapse nya Angga. Sekitar jam 1 siang, Angga collapse di ITB, kehilangan kesadaran, terus dibawa ke RS sama temennya (Laksmi). Beberapa hari sebelumnya memang Angga bepergian keluar kota (keluar pulau lebih tepat mungkin), selain itu, studi S2-nya juga lagi sibuk-sibuknya, selain itu dia juga bekerja sebagai co-manager cafe Winart, dan sedang dalam tahap membuka kantor sendiri. Angga memang bisa dibilang workaholic, tapi tetep aja, gaya hidup Angga adalah termasuk yang lumayan sehat di angkatan gua. Angga gak ngerokok, rajin olahraga (sementara gua ngerokok dan jarang olahraga).

Setelah kemarin malam dapat kabar demikian, gua buru2 beli tiket untuk balik ke Bandung besok paginya (hari ini), begitu sampai stasiun, langsung ke Borromeus untuk menjenguk Angga. tapi seperti kemarin malam, belum ada orang yang diperbolehkan menjenguk kecuali sanak saudara dan keluarga dekatnya. Jadi akhirnya gua ngobrol sama Anggit, adiknya Angga, dan kedua orangtua Angga. Gak ada yang gak kaget dengan kejadian ini. Kedua orangtua Angga pun kaget karena Angga gak pernah mengeluhkan apa-apa ke mereka. Dari Anggit gua tau bahwa kemungkinan Angga akan dioperasi besok, setelah ngobrol beberapa saat dengan keluarga Angga gua balik ke kantor untuk kerja.

Sekitar jam 12 siang, Anggit SMS, keadaan Angga, walaupun masih koma, udah stabil dan gak kejang lagi, jadi insya Allah jadi dioperasi besok. Amin, pikir gua, gua SMS balik ke Anggi, sekalian titip kalau ada kabar lain mengenai Angga, gua bisa dikasih tau.

Sorenya, sekitar jam 6 Esti ngasih tau gua, Angga kejang lagi, tangannya yang tadinya sempat menghangat, jadi dingin lagi. Keputusan jadi tidaknya Angga dioperasi ditunda sampai malam ini atau besok pagi. Untuk siapapun yang baca ini, tolong doain Angga juga biar kondisinya stabil, dan operasinya bisa berjalan dengan lancar dan sukses..

anyway... point gua nulis panjang lebar ini adalah... hmm.. mungkin gak ada juga pointnya, gua cuma pingin bagi2 aja cerita ini, dan minta tolong doa untuk Angga biar krisisnya cepet lewat, dan dia bisa sembuh seperti sediakala. Angga yang gua kenal adalah Angga si petarung, Angga yang gak kenal nyerah. Apapun hasil akhirnya nanti, gua tau, Angga pasti udah berusaha sekuat-kuatnya untuk ngelewatin kejadian ini. Kita temen-temen loe disini selalu ngedoain kesembuhan elo Ngga.

Passive

A Perfect Circle
OST. Constantine

"Dead as dead can be"
The doctor tells me
But I just can't believe him
Ever the optimistic one
I'm sure of your ability
To become my perfect enemy

Wake up, and face me
Don't play dead, cause maybe
Someday I'll walk away and say
You dissapoint me
Maybe you're better off this way

Leaning over you here
Cold and catatonic
I catch a brief reflection
Of what you could and might have been
It's your right and your ability
To become my perfect enemy

Wake up(why can't you)
And face me (come on now)
Don't play dead(don't play dead)
Cause maybe(cause maybe)
Someday(someday)
I'll walk away and say
You dissapoint me

Maybe you're better off this way(x4)
You're better off this(x2)
Maybe you're better off

Wake up(why can't you)
And face me (come on now)
Don't play dead(don't play dead)
Cause maybe(cause maybe)
Someday(someday)
I'll walk away and say
You fucking dissapoint me
Maybe you're better off this way

Go ahead and play dead(GO!)
I know that you can hear this(GO!)
Go ahead and play dead(GO!)
Why can't you turn and face me(GO!)(x4)
You fucking dissapoint me!

Passive agressive bullshit(x12)

its hard to make a phone call if there's no one to pick up at the other end

tigerbeer horoscope pour moi

You are an exciting person to know. Your approach to life is intense but controlled. You will also reveal your deepest secrets more easily than most of your sign, especially if you can shock folks and shake up the status quo. Unlike most people, you welcome sudden changes and thrive when forced to deal with unforeseen circumstances.

You need a career that involves originality. Scientific research would suit you well, provided you are able to work independently. You'd also make a good character actor, taking on small but memorable parts that get you noticed widely. You might also do well in advertising, devising clever campaigns that have never been seen before. Ultimately, you need a job that allows you to put an unusual spin on your duties. Performing predictable routine work will only dull your enthusiastic spirit.

You prefer having a few intimate friends to understand your peculiarities. 'Taureans, Cancerians, Scorpios, and Pisceans probably receive the lion's share of your affection. In love, you need a partner who is calm, cool, and collected. Anyone who can soothe your restless spirits would make you a fantastic mate.

Your greatest challenge is to slow down. You have so many ideas that it's hard for you to rest. At some point, you may have to shelve some of your plans in favor of contentment. Your biggest strength is your originality. There is little threat of you going along with the popular view. You're capable of thinking for yourself and will never fall victim to manipulation.

Quite often, you will retreat to your own private world where friends and family can't reach you. Your reclusive ways help you to regenerate your spirits. An unusual person like you tires easily from mixing with large groups of people. Therefore, you often go off on your own, simply as a means to reconnect with your unique spiritual essence. The people closest to your heart understand this need and will back off when you say the word.


interesting eh?

what age do you act?

You Are 29 Years Old

29 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

what type of personality do you have?

Fake Plastic Trees

radiohead




Her Green plastic watering can
For her fake chinese rubber plant
In fake plastic earth.
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans.
Just to get rid of itself.
And It Wears Her Out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out.

She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns.
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins.
And It Wears Him Out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out.

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My Fake Plastic Love.
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And It Wears Me Out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out.

And if I could BE who you wanted
If I could BE who you wanted,
All the time, all the time, ohhh... ohh...

She's Out Of My Life

Josh Groban

[1st Verse]
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
I don't know whether to live or die
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life

[2nd Verse]
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
To think for two years she was here
And I took her for granted I was so cavalier
Now the way that It stands
She's out of my hands

[Bridge]
So I've learned that love's Not Possession
And I've learned that love won't wait
Now I've learned that love needs expression
But I learned too late

[3rd Verse]
She's out of my life
She's out of my life
Damned Indecision and cursed pride
Kept my love for her locked deep Inside
And it cuts like a knife
She's out of my life
