Mini Review: Jatuh Cinta Seperti di Film-Film

At the end of 2023, I went to watch a movie (solo), and I want to write some of my thoughts about it here. 

First, the rating for this movie is very high on imDb now (01 Jan 2024) reach 8.7/10 (417 accounts). Basic information,  this movie directed and scripted by Yandy Laurens, Ringgo A. Rahman as Bagus Rahmat (male main character), Nirina Zubir as Hana (woman main character), also Alex Abbad as Yoram the Producer, Dion Wiyoko as himself, and Sheila Dara as Dion's wife named Celine. This movie was released on 30 November 2023. The movie is very very related to a person's live. Interestingly, the movie has a plot-twist on it, which I didn't expected. 

 As Bagus is a movie writer, who got a challenge from his producer (Yoram) to make a movie. Bagus decided to make a personnal movie because it will be his very first original movie. A romantic movie, indeed a romantic in a special way. Making movie as a surprise gift to express love, it is a unique idea, but what if the person who you like having a bad time because he/she just lost her love. On the story Hana is having a hard time because her husband passed away. Bagus loves Hana, who has occupation as florist. 

The movie tells on how Bagus making the movie secretly without being recognize by Hana. Bagus got helps from his friend Dion and Celine (movie editor), and full pressure from Yoram. The message from this movie was being honest is the key. Life will always keep going, and you need to outcoming your self to not standing still. As Bagus said "Life is not gonna be repeated, but it can be sequeled." 

If you like to watch romance movie, plus comedy please try to watch this movie. I was laughing so hard in the cinema. Lot of slice of life on it, humorious. Character, for Bagus, I must say he is very judgie, self-centered, and ambitious person. Hana seems very gentle, tough girl inside, and emotional. 

Overall, I do like this movie, I love the method on how to show the romantic way of expressing love. Also this movie inspired me to write more (since the movie elaborate on how the movie being produce). Secure your ticket before the movie gone from theater. I'm sure later it can be watch online, but why should we wait, just go to the nearest cinema, then enjoy the art! 

Thank you for reading! 

Far Adore : Chapter 1 - Sushi for Dinner

Hi guys, let me tell you a bit of story.. I guess, it's been almost 4 months I've been following/adoring stand-up comedian called Kukuh Adi. A part from being comedian, he also an actor (NFAB Series), host (Night Live! and Balada +62), and musician (bass player in Hey Lads!). 

Then a couple days ago, I drew this kind of comic panel (like you can see below). It was inspired of what I've experienced when meeting Kukuh. I might update you with another chapter of Far Adore soon (next year)... 

P.S. on this chapter, it tells about my point of view on choosing meals for Kukuh in Japanese Department Store, and also on how Kukuh's reaction when I tried to gave him the meals.

Thank you for visiting and happy holiday (Merry Xmas and Happy Nu Year 2024) 😇

Unbearable Feelings

 Lot of things have been thinking of 

Small memories kept inside 

Knowing things that not been heard of 

Struggling soul and seek for peace 

The highest level of love

Is to accept to let it go 

Waving outside memory lane 

And you keep swimming on

Keep / Thinking

Those certain time remain 

Patiently waiting or let it bear 

You might known, yet

Still unspoken and kept 

Keep your faith ahead 

What is happened

What is fate 

Never broken when erased 

Is this a fortune 

or is it a sin? 

to know more about you 

is what I kept thinking.. 

Accidentally / Luck

Thank you for the magical moment 

Even with unknown feelings and unsound love 

I am still right here sincerely 

maybe God knows, that

I want to stay longer beside you

Idk if its luck-

-or just accidentally happened

I cant give you beauty 

I am lacking any of it 

yet, I only have hope

praying that you are healthy and safe 

keep on dreaming 

" Seeing you is what I wanted the most "

Endless Poems

"  if falling for you make me being a poet, then why would you not stay so I could endlessly writing poems "

Come Back and Remembers

Vulnerable hanging rack

Strengthen by a rope

Head up and going back 

Waiting for another hope 

Perfect time in Spring 

Lazy autumn coming 

Find a place called home 

Steadily away off the upcoming winter

Only could remembers

The good thing happened in the summers 

May those always repeating 

Without knowing, the feet need to continue walking

Heavy / Light

uncertain things keep coming back 

believing it may go through 

long time gone

wait to crawl up the top

heavy thoughts late at night 

lighter up with a glimpse of hope

mystery of the past 

another yet to be opened

worry much waste up emotion

free up and you could be a saviour

Saat yang Tepat

Jauh berjalan, terbenam bersamai cemas 

Malam yang jauh, siang yang panjang

Perahu usang, lamban melaju lemas

Menanti musim yang akan datang 

Sungguh rasa buaian ini

Bersorak menuruti semu 

Pada saat itu nanti

Tepat di kehadiran hangatmu

Bertanya dalam diam 

Menunggu akan jawaban

Suatu cita yang dalam

Terdengar jelas dalam dekapan

Impatient / Friend

You are patient; I am impatient. 

You are convenient; I am the inconvenience. 

Love is full of mystery, as you are the secret of my heart.

The ambush within lungs exploits all that I have.

Passing through months and years.

No matter what end.

Neglecting the voices over the ears. 

Can I be your endless friend?

Perfect / Weird

You are too perfect, 

So it seems very far for me to grab you. 

From the start, it was only me who had the feelings. 

Weird and impossible, yet you always keep portraying on my mind.

Uncertainty / Hope

Wavering thoughts in and out of my mind, unheard and unspoken. 

Will I be able to express these uncertain feelings, or should I keep it a secret. 

May I save this hope for a little while? 

Foremost Melody / One and Only

If you are okay 

I will be there night and day 

Constant thinking 

Get me deep inside feeling 

Look inside your soul 

I won't have any further goal 

Stopping aside, the gem is you 

Yes the gem what I've been looking for
