.:JiFFest-02:.

My Second review for JiFFest...
Yesterday went to see Singapore GaGa, but it's already full.. so i decided to watch "Hula Girls"
I thought this movie will be a drama about women.. haha
And yes it is... but it's quite good.. haha
A true story about a coal-mining town, which decided to change the factory into Hawaiian Theme Park. A dancer was invited to make a troupe of Hawaiian dancers.
It's a comedy-drama.. funny and sentimental.. (yes there's a dust in my eyes... hihi)
And I fall in love with a song in this movie.
I found out that the title is Wish on My Star by Jake Shimabukuro feat. Jennifer Perri.
Here's the lyric...

Wish on My Star
I wouldn't change a thing about you
I wouldn't ask the green to be blue
I wouldn't ask the birds not to fly,
or change a thing in the sky, or turn hello to good-bye...

I wouldn't ask the birds not to sing
I wouldn't ask the phone not to ring
I just couldn't ask the wind not to blow,
or a boat not to row, or a trees all to go sorrow...

You are amazing just as you are
You are a flower in the spring,
and you lay in morning breeze
And I adore you, just the way you are.
You are not the star that I wish on
You are the wish on my star...

Who could that be???

Finally bisa nonton JiFFest lagi... setelah yg taon lalu gak bisa pergi karena masih tinggal di 'pinggiran' hoho....
Taun ini bakalan puas banget nontonnya.. apalagi yg gretongan..

Hari ini nonton 2 film yg kebetulan (eh disengaja dink) di Blitz..
::Flower in the Pocket:: (Malay)
Film Malaysia tentang 2 anak yang lucu.. and jorok abis.. hehe. Ini film kaco juga, but it's give another angle from child perspective. About how they in school, after school, at home... and the end of the story is the need to love and be loved by their single parent, their daddy.

::Vitus:: (Switzerland)
Highly recommended !!! A boy genius in music.. and everything.
I like some talks in this movie..
This conversation happen in the class, with Vitus infront
Vitus: So.. a teacher must be smarter than her pupils?
Teacher: Well.. yes they are..
Vitus: So.. you must be know who's invented steam machine?
Teacher: Off course I do.. It's James Watt who invented steam machine.
Vitus: Then.. why not his teacher invented steam machine??
And teacher just couldn't answer that question... and some other teacher in other class..

Really love this movie.. and the little actor is cute and very talented.. I don't know if he's really a genius. The way he's playing piano is awesome..

Next Movie............ The Blossoming of Maximo Oliveros - 10th Dec

.:Dream:.

Kamu harus mempunyai mimpi.

Bila kamu kehilangan mimpi-mimpimu, kamu mati.

Ada banyak sekali orang yang berjalan di sekitar kita yang mati
namun mereka tak menyadarinya.

.:Just Play:.

Kita tidak pernah berhenti bermain karena kita tua.
Kita menjadi tua karena berhenti bermain.

.:BookReview: The Present:.

Buku ini bagus juga untuk 'penyegaran'.
Bagus juga.... bukunya tipis aja, bisa kelar 2 jam-an.
Tapi isinya cool.



It's about the Present for our life that makes you happy and successful at work and life.
You already know what the present is.
You already know where to find it
and you already know how it can make you happy and succesful.
You knew it best when you were younger
You have simply forgotten.

The Present is not the Past and it is not The Future.
The Present is The Present Moment!
The Present is Now !

Even in the most difficult situations,
When you focus on what is Right in the present moment,
it makes you happier,
And gives you the needed Energy & Confidence
to deal with what is wrong.

Being in the Present mean stuning out distractions
and paying attention to what is important, Now.

You create your own Present by what you give your attention to.
It is hard to let go of The Past
if you have not learned from the past

As soon as you learn and let go
you improve the present
Anytime you are unhappy in the Present or feeling unsuccessful,
it is time to learn from The Past or Plan for The Future.

Look at what happened in the Past
Learn something valuable from it.
Use what you learn to improve the Present

You cannot change The Past but you can learn from it.
When the same situation arises,
you can do things differently and enjoy a more successful Present.

No one can predict or control The Future
However, the more you plan for what you want to see happen,
the less anxious you are in the Present,
and the more the Future is known to you.
How you respond depends upon your purpose

When you want to be happy and more successful
it is time to be in the Present moment.

When you want the Present to be better than the Past
it is time to learn from The Past.

When you want The Future to better than The Present
it is time to Plan for The Future.

.:Reject:.

I've seen some people rejected me....
people that I love
that I care of
that I need...

now I've seen that I'm rejecting some people
people that love me
that care for me
that need me...
Is this somekind of 'karma' ?
or just some lesson about life...

when you can't get everything that you want,
because God's know what you really need...
and sometimes everything that we get is not everything we want.

sigh....
It's hurt being rejected by the one that we love...

.:Wonder of Christmas:.

When there seems to be no hope... Love changes all...




Be there.. I'll be part of it
