The best scene from "Before Sunrise". I love this movie so much I can't stop smiling. It's the kind of movie I wish the story could happen to me, it's so beautiful and so rare, so... bitter.

You're gonna love it

Charles and Mary Lamb, the siblings who tried to rewrite Shakespeare's plays and narrate it for younger (and, like me, less educated) readers, wrote this book which is actually very helpful for young people who appreciate Shakespearean plays but find his works are too poetic and hard to understand for non native English readers. I read this book, to be honest *sobs* because I can't understand the original plays and because it's the shortened version of them all. They rewrote all the most famous plays, such as Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello, Twelfth Night, As You Like It, A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Tempest, and Romeo&Juliet (duh. Of course). Some plays are long but in the narration it's quiet short and though it loses a bit of the art of reading a Shakespeare tale, but it really does help for Shakespeare-thirsty curious people. If you like drama, romance or tragedy, and you'd like to imagine you were a lord or a lady in Italy, England, France or Greece many centuries ago, this is the book for you. Happy reading!

Rusty Kitty
First thing first.
Russell Brand is the very messy type of guy whom in your first sight of him would think he puts a different girl in a cab every other day and will never, ever settle down for a marriage.
Truth is, he did. I mean, they did.
Well, I didn't really like Russell or Katy. I thought he's too messy and she's too Lady GaGa. But once they coupled up and see what happens? This is what I think love should be: it makes each of the lovers be a better version of who they are. They look so much better together than apart, and life is such a fairytale if you look at it through them.
I imagine Russell isn't always the funny guy we know him to be, maybe the rumours were true; with Katy, he seeks for God and became spiritual and matured up and then finally ready for marriage.
Two things from the last picture. 1) A love like these two share, and 2) That Chanel bag. Please.
oh, one bonus picture! If you go to the same college as me and knows something, you'll probably smile :)

Some people were born with tragedies in their blood
I would like to sit in the middle of a green Irish county, listening to Damien Rice, reading Pablo Neruda poems, drinking cold sparkling water, being completely anonymous
Because of you, in the gardens of blossoming flowers I ache from perfumes of spring
I have forgotten your face, I no longer remember your hands; how did your lips feel on mine?

Elle Vous Aimes, Ouais Ouais Ouais
Vanessa Paradis, you are such a bitch. You get Johnny Depp, you get une fille et un fils. You are a Chanel icon. You are friends with Karl Lagerfeld, he even likes you and made you his muse. You are a very cool singer and actress. You make every dress looks great on you. You wear red lipstick like no other. You live in Paris and spend spare time in St. Tropez. To put it simply, you are amazing. How could there be such a bitch like you?
I was watching her rom-com film Heartbreaker with Romain Duris a few days ago in my lodge room with my one of my best girls and we were like, "Wait a sec!! That's Vanessa Paradis! The woman who got Johnny Depp and has his two kids?! Whoaaaa that bitch!!! Wait. TWO kids? Deux. Two kids and still got that body?! B.I.T.C.H. I want her every dresses here!"

Também bate um coração
I miss a lot of things
I miss my old friends, I want them back
I miss the idea of home, because now each time I go back home I couldn't find what I miss
I guess what it really means is I just miss the idea of home, or simply my childhood
I miss being anonymous in a strange city that I've never been before, avoiding bitter truths
I miss sitting on the fresh green grass of a beautiful Londonese park, dolce far niente
I miss being able to dance like no one's watching and sing like nobody's listening, ignoring everything
I miss high school, I miss the times when people arrange everything for you
I miss being a fat kid who loves cake, and nobody reminds me of how much calories I've had
I miss reading such pure and honest books like The Catcher in The Rye or The Perks of Being a Wallflower
I miss spending money on expensive magazines without noticing it'd only end up in dusty piles
I miss the feeling of receiving compliments from strangers, because they're the honest ones
I miss my appreciation towards art and wickedly cool things
I miss the beauty and the chicness that people seem to forget here
I miss the innocent people who encourage me to dream so high, shoot the moon so I'll land among the stars
I miss my imagination
I miss you
I miss us

Non Arrivederci Roma
Saturday, October 9, 2010
Everything reminded me of you what can I do?
London, I knew you so well. One night is not enough, at all! I've had great times with you, and we'll have so much fun next time. There will always be next time for us, I promise.
Paris, I love you. You are so amazing. You are so beautiful and so much fun. You are grande! I wish a much longer time to stay, there are still so many places I wanna see. You never disappoint. And please don't.
Amsterdam, you are the epitome of home to me. You feel so familiar and I like how people treat Indonesians like me. Thank you so much for being a home in a place ten thousand miles away.
Germany, thank God I learned Deutsch for 3 years. Thank God you have one of the most beautiful races in the world. Thank God you're so clean and discipline. God bless your charged toilets. Danke.
Switzerland, you are so peaceful. You are so charming and beautiful. You are so sweet, you have the best chocolates and candies in the world. Keep being amazing. I'll see you soon but maybe not the Alps. I can't stand the cold.
Milano, how do you manage to have so many beautiful, stylish people? Where did you get them all from? Insanely full of living mannequins! And how do you manage to keep me seeing things that remind me of the most memorable Italian so far? I saw via Torino, via Carlo Cattaneo everywhere, like each time I turned my head to see a street sign.... I hate you. Oh no Milano, ti amo!
Venezia, you are so amazing, just you know. You are, and you must know it. But I cried the day I came to you, amore mio. Why is that? Well, at least I learned that promises are made by happy people who were just overwhelmed and thus ready to make any promises. And yet, promises are made to be broken, so don't set your hopes too high. Thank you for making me learn this. Grazie mille.
Roma, I don't get why people are more into Paris than you. Truth is, you are far more interesting. Full stop.
Vatican, you chose the right artist. Michaelangelo is perfect. The art, the architecture is classic but timeless, et c'est ci parfait!
Everything is clearer when you're in love
"It's too much of an important day to think of my birthday - it's all about being there for mum and remembering dad. I try not to think, 'What if?' But it gets hard for me to imagine what life would have been like if he had lived. I just think it's sad that I've never been able to enjoy an adult relationship (with my dad) like I had with my mum and my friends. But I try not to beat my head against the wall asking what could have been. People think I was too young to remember him but there are lots of things I remember about my dad, like him teaching me how to swim, how to use a knife and fork and him rolling up his cigarettes. I remember him telling me about England and promising he'd take me to (his hometown of) Liverpool. But he never did."
