So I watched the movie last night, and rated it somewhere B to B+
But the more I think about it, now after 18 hours later I couldn't
remember much of it. Which is a shame.
And which inclines me to think whether the movie was not as good as it
seemed to me after all.
The story was less the same, a bit dramatized, and I wasn't as stunned
with the culture as I felt I should be.
Most of the time the movie was dark, and the rich culture and simple
details failed me.
Some controversies involving what is geisha:
1. Depicted as Not a prostitute
2. But sells / auctions her virginity
3. Finally succumbs to have a danna who pays all her expenses in return
to her time, art, body?
Most people I think, and I, watched the movie because we wanted to see a
movie of a hard
and beautiful profession. But it seemed that the movie focuses more on
the love life of Sayuri.
Nevertheless, interesting and entertaining. Quite worth the money :D
Tidak semua orang itu baik dengan tulus.
Hampir semua orang jahat dengan tulus.
Kalaupun ada orang jahat yang tidak tulus, pura-pura jahat, berarti dia
sebenarnya baik jadi lebih bagus lagi.
So trust the bad guys, they don't fail you.
I think there's a famous saying that supports this, but I forgot what.
Religion Is Dangerous said a merchant in Taiko.
Why? Because it can easily gather many followers, and therefore is a
powerful 'weapon' if used.
Since religion is too complex, much bigger than our human apprehension,
therefore we cannot define valid religions by mere perception.
Because we have no right nor power to stop, ban, or proclaim a religion
wrong,
therefore we have no right nor power to stop the actions of the follower
except by mere human/nation law.
Therefore, religion is dangerous.
Yesterday bought some ballet dvds, and turned out disappointing, the
first one turned out to be a parody ballet with she-males. ha ha..
The second one, was George Balanchine's Nutcracker, supposedly, but
turned out to be Maurice Bejart's Nutcracker.
A bit of modern, though I must admit I liked how Felix the Cat seemed to
fly all around the room.
I don't really understand the story, need to do some research to
enjoy it.
I'm so misunderstood.
I'm not sure why.
And I do so misunderstood
or so people tell me.
Are things out of the loop for me
in purpose
or just because?
Am I saying this coz
I'm really feeling the right thing
or did I misunderstood
I had bad dreams these days..
The first one is a few days ago, my dad was swimming in some sort of
lake, and there are a few other kids swimming there too. Then somehow
there's a large crocodile at the edge of the lake.
and the kids played around and sort of touched the crocodile's nose and
quickly get away. I don't know why, but my dad approached the crocodile
too, he touched the nose with his leg, like the kids, but he didn't get
away fast enough and the crocodile at his whole right leg. It was very
gory, scary, and terrifying for me. Then I head Dad's voice saying in
his melancholic way "wah.. papa kena ni wi.. gimana dong wi.. " It was
very sad because I was so far.. and his voice sounded like he gave up.
Then Dad's struggling to get to land but the crocodile was very fast
behind him... then I woke up.
I really wanted to cry..and I kept thinking that if it truly happens
what could I do? Run to him and hit the crocodile? Shoot some stones at
the crocodile? What?
I don't think I'll forget this dream. And I am making sure of that by
putting this in the blog.
The second dream was last night.
I was talking to my boss, my dear 'brother' that I wanted to resign. And
he didn't so much prevented me to go, but he has this very dissapointed
look on his face. He was like 'You've dissapointed me after all I've
done for you and all my hopes for you' and eventually he puts up this
'whatever' attitude and he doesn't care anymore what I do.
This is very hurtful! Then I said "well I'm not sure if I can make it
there anyway, a success"
then he answered, "That's why! and We've never doubted you here." but he
didn't say that to keep me from going. He's just saying that.. 'look at
the difference between me and your future company'. And then he gave me
some simple task that I can't concentrate on doing because I was so
devastated with the way he reacts.
God Help Me.
Very scared... very sad..
5h17 it's hard to be different.
Yin was the moon
Yang was the sun
They never met.
But then again, did not the sun rays reached the moon after all?
But then again, aren't they a perfect circle?
But then again, who cares?

Dear Friends,
"Sugar we're going down swinging... I'll be your number one... "
the lyric is unrelated, but I'm definitely reminded of all of you when
I'm hearing the song.
It's like we're all standing on a high mountain, and I'll be leaving,
dropping to the midst of nowhere. Hopefully for the better.
Please pray for me good friends. Please don't get angry with me..
Although there's also a possibility that you will be happy with me gone,
I don't mind. I will miss you anyway.
I'll be doing a huge jump, hopefully if I fall, you will still be there
to catch me.
Thank you for so much good time.
Your Humble Turtle.
