4th day in Jakarta.

Blogging now from Sumarrecon Mal Serpong, where Pam gets 3 hours of free internet service.

Met the Muljonos already lol!

Pictures will be displayed once I'm back! Philip I hope you're doing well in Bintaro. Till then.

Meet the Muljonos!

Will be on hiatus from today till the very next year. Taking a trip to Jakarta to meet the Muljonos! Btw, we celebrated Shawn's birthday will an evening paintball game. I know. Each and every time someone blogs or mentions about paintball, they'll definitely show you a scar or bruise as an effect of the game. I have 2 myself, and the worst among the 12 of us. Dear Elvin shot me good in the neck, exposed and it's a bloody lump now bleeding and sh*t. Got another one near my wrist, and that looks like a crater. Bloody boil-looking wounds, watery ones. The pain was expected. The game was much fun. Not the neck part though. Have to walk around telling everybody it's not a love bite,hah!

Back to the topic, which is me visiting Pam and her family. Looking forward to places like Bandung and Burubudur, and watching season 9 of Friends with her! Gonna have to go through my checklist now. See you back in January. Later.

Hollywood Moms.

when time stops.

Been considerably free for the past month. Up to a point where I wake up, wanting to sleep again just to kill time. So we foosed out nights away, the very unprofessional manner. Went to Pavilion today. My first time. Didn't wanna go initially, but seeing that I might not be seeing any of that for the next one year, I decided to go check it out. It was a big, I mean huge disappointment though. Been hearing a lot from people and been seeing a lot about it from magazines but I gotta say, it's sorta boring. From where I come from, designer clothes, watches and all that doesn't make a place in my spendings, ever. Plus, there wasn't any entertainment at all. Environment, I'd give it a 60/100. Shawn has got 2 free movie tickets, as always, and so he asked me along to watch this movie called 'Atonement' which turned out to be real A-TONE (one tone) movie. Not only it was the second movie that I actually walked out on, it was confusing considering the flow was very stagnant and there weren't much conversation going on, and so that itself kept me hanging, wondering what the hell is the movie about. Was told it was supposedly a love movie, but all I see is, I don't know, I can't tell! I know a lot of people are gonna hate me after this, but I gotta say, there are similarities between this movie with Yasmin Ahmad's style of movie direction. All the long, quiet scenes that shows a guy maybe smoking a cigarette, then going on to nothing but really just waiting for him to finish his damn cigarette. There's a clue. By the way, the first movie that I actually walked out on was 'The Holiday'. It sucks, enough said.

No verdict.

I don't know how true is this, but I've noticed that I'm more of a dreamer than anyone I know, or at least anyone I could think of right now. Not daydream though. It's just one of those moments where you sometimes reflect on certain thoughts about something that you probably wanted to think of or probably popped up in your head. Well, that 'sometimes' to me, happens to be most of the time. Even to the point she couldn't believe it. She would ask me whether I noticed how long of a pause was that.

Now I also used to have the thought of how much of a choice a person has to determine what he/she does or reacts to a certain situation, answers to a questions, behaves, everything. I thought it shouldn't be much of a big problem for me, but somehow, it sorta is. I'm stuck in the thought of 'a person can change another person by changing him/herself' with 'God's made you that way, and so use it wisely for His purposes'. Before I go on, I think this should be another issue of people being judgmental. Could it be that I'm afraid of other judging me, or could it be that I do not like being judge by other people, I have yet to find out.

A whole other thing. When I was roughly about the age of 15, let's just say I figured I found out I wasn't bad at handling sketches and I could draw. I remembered the very first thing I fell in love sketching were building facades and all that architecture jazz. Even remembered I once filled in my ambition blank as an 'architect'. Guess that didn't work out at all, reason was I hated figures, and I still do. After building facades, it moved on to human portraits. I concentrated, and copied every single line, only finding out that I wasn't too bad at 'copying' a certain portrait. Once I hit 18, I never touched a pencil. Till 2 days back, I figure, heck I don't know how far can I go within the ad field. Since I've had a passion, I am going to re-live it. I did, and it worked out pretty well. Not bad as a remedy whenever I am unoccupied.

Picked up the interest of drumming two years back, when I first accepted the Lord. I thought, okay my pace with coping went pretty well but now I'm really just stuck at a point of improving further. Honestly, it's deteriorating when you give a thought about what you can do best, finding out that there is none. That you do have a lot of interest and have already involved yourself in it, but most of your involvements in it are just as good as mediocre. Spare me an answer. You think those are the thoughts of a person that couldn't get himself anywhere because he hasn't aced in any one of those involvements yet? Or something deeper instead, like I probably have not figured the IT thing that I was suppose to do.
But you know, nearly everyone does things they prefer not to do, and they're still doing so. And of course I do not wish to be in that group of having to rant about everything, everyday. Unless God takes a hand in this, I'm gonna slap someone.

I'm on holidays and my mind's' still not declaring peace. Proves that 'free time' is not exactly what I need. I was wrong.

Will smith once again.

I AM LEGEND.

I don't usually post reviews of the movies I've watched, but this is really something. Not only that, the last movie review that I have posted was also starring Will Smith, coincidentally, and the movie was 'The Pursuit of Happyness'. Not gonna spill out anything, but do yourselves a favor and get yourselves to the movies for this one. I didn't know what was it all about until I've watched it myself, so you'll probably find out the same way as well. Will Smith's one heck of an actor. I so dig his movies man.

The dog's acting and training helped make the movie even cooler, no joke.
Some joker farted in the cinema.
One more, Happy Birthday Thomas Matthew Delonge!

Dedicated to Tom.

A funny a-hole that he used to be, Tom's created new things that some people aren't prepared to listen to. He's demonstrated a drastic change in his music and purpose for the listeners. Though all of us know he can't perform live performances like Pink Floyd, he sure as hell changed for the better, musically and in person. I mean, "Suck my d*ck" to "I love you, come and lay with me" is really something people should lay an eye on and wonder what makes him, him.

Random Images.

A series of photographs I'd like to reflect back, when I found them in my old files that I thought I lost.

Eunice's bio pic, for the Seventeen Mag.

Year one in college. 2006.

Early 2006 probably.

The day I bust my knee. She thought it
would be funny, so this happened.



When I was still stalking her. :)



Probably 2006,
when my hair was everyone's issue.

Then I found this.

And I noticed, man what a neat piece
I was.


Compared to now. Everyone's aging so quickly.
Thannk God I didn't regret half the bits I had ever since 05.
Not to mentioned, I still have not put on much weight.
Who cares, I'm happy.

Frank Gehry

I viewed this documentary couple of weeks ago. Pam thought me a couple of pointers on architecture, not really the kind of how to build or design a building (I know I'll never to that in a million years cuz it involves physics and maths and science) More likely on the side of who're the top players in the industry and their contribution. She showed me Frank Gehry, and dear God I gotta say that this man is one genius. The thing with him is, unlike most architects, he simply constructs a model by cutting and shaping em just as it is, according to how he likes it best or how he 'felt' looked better. Which means, he has his assistant cut out a part of the model and if he still thinks it doesn't look right, he bent it make zigzags out of it who knows what's in his head. What makes him a genius you ask? He simply knows whether the model is capable to stand on the way it's contructed or not right away. Apparently, he did a couple of building other architects thought wouldn't be able to stand or have been built at all. But up until this very day, it stands and just shouts out how much of an artist architect Frank Gehry is. He simply fought the nature of physics.
He said when he was still a student, friends used to make fun of him, saying how much of a lunatic he is, shaping and building models the way he does it. Seems foolish, but that's what got him to be what he is today.
I shall come back with more details and insights of Toyo Ito as well. Till then.

Take a look at his drawings, which only himself can understand.
