the awkward moment #8

when you find it hard to go back home - to reality




very old song from Kla Project, about a hometown as far as 18 hours or so by plane from where I am now

 PS: again, why is it so hard to begin to write an academic paper?

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...

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...

"my tutor friend" - catatan yg terinspirasi dari sebuah film korea

Image
semoga pembaca tahu apa itu tutor friend *ky ada pembacanya aja, sigh* well, in case you don't have any idea, My Tutor Friend is a South Korean film distributed in 2003. it was followed by the sequel in 2007. film pertamanya bercerita ttg seorang mahasiswa berusia 21 tahun yang bekerja sbg tutor/guru privat seorang siswa kelas 3 SMA kaya, yg umurnya sama dg si cewek. sekuelnya bercerita ttg seorang mahasiswi dari Jepang yg dtg ke Korea, yang kemudian les privat bahasa Korea pada seorang mahasiswa - anak si empunya kos-kosan. yes, semacam dibalik gitu dahhh, tadinya tutornya cewek, terus di film kedua tutornya cowok. Menurut saya, kedua film ini seperti film2 korea yg bernafaskan romantic comedy lain: ceritanya klise, happy ending, tapi kemasannya khas korea, bisa ditebak: jalan ceritanya lucu, tapi ga jayus *based on my opinion.. haha.. a scene from My Tutor Friend the Japanese and the Koreanese (koreanese ada ya?) in My Tutor Friend 2 bdw, the guy is cute, isn't h...
