unexpected vacation

hello!! :D


writing this post as a procrastination thingy -- haha, escaping from my essays :(


beberapa hari yang lalu, meskipun agak merasa bersalah, saya memutuskan berlibur ke Edinburgh dan sekitarnya, dengan dua teman Indonesia sy di sini.


mengapa Edinburgh? 
awalnya, teman mengajak ke Morocco, mungkin ke Fez, tapi berubung mahal, gak jadi. lalu saya usul ke Irlandia (Dublin) *my old obsession -- visa gratis bo!*, but it was too much of paper work, and too little time to prepare. ganti ke Belfast, Irlandia Utara -- no need for visa, tapi kalo dipikir ke Belfast doang tanpa ke Irlandia kok nanggung ya? jadilah kami ke Edinburgh, and there was no regret! the city was amazing!!! AMAZING!

*sori, bukan promosi, yah ini maskapai murah macem Air Asia ato Lion Air gitu lah*
dlm boat trip di Loch Lomond (loch adalah danau sodara, aliyas lake)
ini kastil Edinburgh di malam hari diliat dari Princess St (shopping street di sana).
bener2 kontras :D
perkenalkan, ini haggis, makanan tradisionalnya Scotland
(isinya katanya jeroan digiling, direbus, dicampur oatmeal, terus dibungkus lambung -- hahaha)
suka foto ini entah mengapa
sounds familiar, eh?
scr umum, kotanya terlihat seperti ini, bangunan lama di mana-mana
notice the notice! :)
mencoba chilli nugget (jalapeno dibungkus keju dan tepung panir)
hasilnya: masih pedes rawit boyolali kok! ;)
entah mengapa, Princess Diana's style ada di bbrp toko cashmere dan kilt

Blue Valentine - a movie about love that doesn't work

Image
B lue v alentine is a romantic drama film about the life of middle-class young married couple, beautifully acted by Ryan Gosling (previously, known for his acting in The Notebook) and Michelle William (she did a lot of works, but the most I remembered is when she played Heath Ledger’s wife in Brokeback Mountain and also in Dawson Creek). This Academy Award’s nominated film shifts back and forth in time: the past and the present of their courtship. Director, Derek Cianfrance, intended this film to began shooting when both actors were still younger, as Williams received the script ever since she was 21. But this intention failed due to financial issues. http://www.boomtron.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/blue-valentine-promo-poster.jpg Below is my plot summary, well it contains a spoiler, so in case you are intending to watch the movie, and prefer it best without someone spoiling the story, I guess, you’d better not read further.  The movie opens with a little girl n...

haruskah ak diruwat?

after years of good experience with my possession, this past couple of months have been a real 'hell' for me. first, I lost a tripod in Jane Austen's city, Bath. second (today), I lost my damn cell phone in a market (and fortunately, it was the android one - which I only got like in a what? a year or so). this is just awesome! yet, a friend of mine said I was way too 'cool' for someone who just lost a phone, to which another responded, "she didn't even react when she lost a boyfriend, what-more a phone!". haha, I guess she's right.  well, I guess, goodbye! :'(

Pojangmacha: Korean angkringan

Image
trying to keep my promise yesterday. okeh, today's post is about Korean street food stall, or almost similar with Javanese angkringan. before coming to Korea, I like watching Korean movies. The thing I often see in them is the street food stall. Often, characters in the movie go to one of these stalls and get a drink of soju and get drank, to confess love or messed-up feelings about love. Also, to eat fatty barbecued meat. Hahaa, what a unhealthy lifestyle! Another is when the character go for a walk and see one of the stall below, then grab a skewer or two. It seems so nice, and the way they eat it is sooo tempting. Korean definitely loves eating, and so do I!! So, when I got a chance to visit South Korea, one thing I wanted to do was to grab foods from these stalls. :D the lady with all the Korean delicious and spicy snack a woman buying some skewers what they usually sell (and the food the lady preparing is Korean rice cakes - delicious!) There a...
