it has everything!

Well, no, I'm hyperbolic, but this thing:

Internet |ˈintərˌnet|an international computer network providing e-mail and information from computers in educational institutions, government agencies, and industry, accessible to the general public via modem links.ORIGIN late 20th cent.: from inter- [reciprocal, mutual] + network .

really has so many informations, it's crazy! It's really useful of course, make things possible, but it's almost like you don't have to buy books and magazines anymore. But of course, there's something beautiful about holding a book and read it, in paper. Besides, less radiation.

I heard this quote about how, human brains are not a bowl to be filled, it is a flame to be lighted. Informations are good I think, but of course we don't want to be so numb, just being a receiver. We, as human being, of course want to produce something. We own creativity and we want to create something, not just accepting.

So I try not to be in front of the computer, television, radio, magazine all the time. I mean, it's good, but sometimes we have to make something of our own: write, draw... well, mostly think.

musicians

...turns out I'm into vocalist, eh?

the history boys

Since I'm on my holiday, I slept at about 3 AM this morning, woke up at about 9, and then directly watch movies. Well, only have watched one for now: The History Boys. It's a smart movie with dialogues, where they talk about poems, literature and thoughts. And  I enjoy those kind of movies, but to be honest, is the guys that attracted me. Not their thoughts for this matter, it's their looks. I know I sound like a shallow, stupid girl, but who doesn't? Look at them, they're just so adorable, eh? I kind of like it, school boys in uniform. (The dialogues and all that are a plus, but since I don't come from an English-speaking country, I think I miss a lot of things)

My favorite of them all is Scripps (who's the only one not in the crowd in this photo), played by Jamie Parker. Doesn't he has... I don't know, some kind of Heath's features? I think so. Well, Scripps, he's cool and calm, he doesn't involved in all the sex things yet he talks about them with the other guys. He's friendly, he doesn't seem snobby and loud like Lockwood or Dakin, but he's smart. And he eventually becomes a writer, a profession I adore. Jesse is a writer too, by the way.

forever young and the future

I want to stay young forever, but I'm also excited about the future. I can't wait, the future seems to be more free, like I can do what I really want. I know it's not really true, I can see how adults seem more depressed than the younger ones. But I'm still curious and excited. I want to make all those decisions for myself. I want to make the world a better place, which I think will be more possible to do when I'm older.

By the way, I took the image from postsecret.com, they have a lot of good postcards there. Once, I found one I really like: grandmothers riding red car with big grins on their face and a message, "I wish I were this free." or something. The picture is just ridiculous and fun. But I can't find it. I'll put it here if I do.

it's a great loss.

I think I just started to like Heath Ledger after he was gone. Or maybe since I watched 10 Things I Hate About You for the first time, but then I haven't recognize actors yet. Now I have this crush on him, I kind of want to know him a little more. I remember he said in this article that he never really satisfied of his works. Was he sick of the teen-idol image? I don't know. Maybe he wouldn't like the picture I put here? Well, he's so gorgeous here, really. So far, I've watched ten movies of his, and I'm going to watch all of them.

before sunrise and before sunset

My two favorite movies of all time. I love everything about it: the cast, the songs, the dialogues, the beautiful scenes... everything. Well, to be honest, there are some dialogues that I don't agree with, since I'm feeling God is with me all the time. 

But it doesn't change the quality of the movies, since what I like about these movies is the imperfection of them. I mean, in this movie, some jokes aren't funny, some dialogues are

 overlapping, they're not always beautiful (Jesse doesn't has perfect teeth and Céline isn't the most beautiful girl ever) but they do have charms (Jesse's eyes and Céline's laughs). So I guess, it's naturalness, the honesty that made me watch both over and over again. I just watched it yesterday with some friends, and today I watch it again with my mother. I always try not to be so obsessed about anything, but I think I'm getting there with these movies.

Venice

I live in Asia, and there's a lot I want to see in Asia, yeah, but Venice. Venice, the city of the canals, the carnival, I just love it. See, I never really like cars. Most of them has hideous design, and even if they're not, they pollute. It's okay if there are only like, really small amount of cars existed, but what's happening now is not cool. That machine is being overrated, people think they have to have one, at least it's like that here, where I'm living. So, you know, Venice is really an ideal place for me: no cars. And that's not the only cool thing about this old city, of course. It has a lot more, but you can just wikipedia it. I'll come. I'll be there and enjoy the city for as long as I want to. I won't forget where I come from, where's my homeland, but this place is so special for me. I'll come there later in life.

bookstore

I really want to have my own humbly, cosy, warm bookstore. I always want to, but what stimulated me is that I just watched You've Got Mail, the one where Tom Hanks is this bookstore businessman. And, I also just watched my two favorite movies of all time: Before Sunrise and, it's sequel, Before Sunset. In Before Sunset, Jesse becomes this writer and he is interviewed in a small, dusty bookstore, Shakespeare and Company, which, by the way, pop up when I google-imaged 'bookstore'. I just love it, the idea of an old, dusty bookstore.
