The Secret Life of My Kind

Recalling the resolution I made for 2014,

It's about Worldwide Fun, isn't it Vick?

Well to be honest, I'm kinda pretty optimistic about it. Chances are everywhere. I'm all open and free. Graduated and unemployed, I can actually choose to be a freelance writer or copywriter or better yet, go on with my study somewhere abroad.

Anything, could possibly be my path to being a Mr Worldwide.

And this was kinda reinforced by a simple hint, shown by

Walter Mitty

Genuinely scared, imagining myself in the middle of nowhere.

Yes, it's only a movie. About someone who is so tiny physically, financially and hierarchy-ly. Never once planned, going to Greenland, boating to Iceland, cycling and skating down the lowhill, drifting away from Eyjafjallajökull's dusts, hiking the Himalayas, never once planned by Walter Mitty.

But somehow he made it. Alone. No preparations at all. And no camera. I don't blame his decision, no he was a fool not bringing something to seize the wonders. But having no camera, means optimizing our visual to mental-capture the sights. Don't need to be busied taking pictures and enjoying digital sceneries from the screen. Just us, our eyes, and the genuine touch of mother nature.

I want that. The spontaneous journey, not the no-camera-at-all part.

Can you imagine? No certain plan you been waiting for and all of the sudden, poof!

You're sailing offshore Nuke, swimming ice cold water and eating a nice clementine cake.

I do, want that.

Because if you're in the middle of something unplanned,

And you apparently enjoy every single details you have to do,

Then you just found your quintessence

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

A negative assets manager of Life Magazine Walter Mitty is requested to prepare negative 25 as the cover of the magazine's last issue. Worst thing comes when Walter and his man can't find the negative on the negroll. Seeing this as his responsibility, he plans to find Sean O'Connell, the never-actually-show-up photojournalist that sent him the roll, and collect negative 25 from him to soon be published.

What did I feel right after? Teary, and amazed. Teary. Karena, set tempat film ini adalah New York. Oke lotau apa masalah gue dengan kota yang satu itu -masih gabisa move on :'( Amazed. Karena, hmm, the movie's all about a journey. Literal journey. Greenland sampe Afghanistan, dan semuanya wisata alam. Gak mungkin sih, gue gabisa berenti bilang "wow" dengan mulut ternganga karena view nya sebagus itu. Semuanya tempat tempat yang sama sekali bukan travel wish list gue, namun satu hal yang pasti, setelah nonton film ini, soon kalo gue udah merupakan manusia yang senja dan udah jadi traveler pro -AMIN!- gue gabakalan gak datengin tempat tempat ini. Tapi kalo disuruh kesana sekarang... Yang ada gue malah nangis manggilin emak gue minta pulang -serem bro, sepi :(

Dear Neighbor

I'm here, on behalf of my nation's youth,

Stating our deep condolences and support

Towards the current internal chaotic situation

Our fellow Southeast Asians have, in Bangkok.

My friend, my fellow Thai.

Sometimes it's no use, trying to collapse your nation's supremacy, it's no use. All you guys will have is riot. Havoc surrounds. Unwanted death might occur... You aware who will step aside from this kind of a mess? Tourists. And soon it'll harm your economy.

My friend, my fellow Thai.

Cool down all anger. Use your heart, not your head. I know government is a pain in the ass, I feel you. But think again. If they're all jackass, who would've been the brain? You citizens! Someone needs to think straight and shows who the one who has manners is! You aware who will pop off from a nation with no manner? Tourists. And soon you'll lose their trust.

Come on my friend, my fellow Thai.

Did you watch Pokemon The Movie back then? A song once sang "You don't have to be this way. Think about the consequences. Turn around and walk away." You do aware who will be walking away if you keep doing this, yes? Tourists! And soon you'll be broken in, side out!

Guys I'm begging you.

Don't make a fool decision.

Don't think about being destructive.

Don't you jeopardize all the potentials you have.

Peaceful Thailand pic, obtained from here.

Because you're captivating.

You possess amazing culture.

Magnificent goods soak within.

And I'll be there in two weeks :(

Family in Crime

In the world of crime investigation serials...

Cliche says that each unit highlights one main character -mostly male- with their own specialties -reading minds, possessing sixth sense, writing, etc- doing crucial tasks only with a co-star -mostly women- leaving the rest of the group stranded and seem unimportant, appear only to be ordered this and that by their bosses.

Luckily, I found one unit that's developed quiet different from what I described above.

We call it NCIS.

Original NCIS casts, picture's from here.

First of all, I'm talking about the group consisting of Jethro, Tony, Tim, Abby and Kate. Not Ziva, but Kate. Well it's not that I hate Ziva -I just dislike her- but honestly, it's because all these times I've ever only be exposed by the first two seasons when Kate was still around. But no matter how much I'll soon be exposed to Ziva, I will always prefer Kate.

Okay enough talking divas.

Now let's get down to business.

NCIS. Well this group, as how I adore it, is balanced. Everybody carries different important roles, and seem to appear as much as each others do. But one thing that I like the most, is because this unit is alive. They bond. Hierarchy exists, of course, but it doesn't necessarily make them act awkward to each other.

Like Gibbs. Treats all his agents like his own kids. Everybody respects -and sometimes, is scared of- Gibbs but that doesn't stop them from being easy and spoiled in front of him. And Gibbs sees Abs like a daughter. Abs is the only one who acts loose towards Gibbs although sometimes she has to shut her mouth up when Gibbs shows the signal of "Abby, focus!".

Tony is reckless to his fellow agents. He fights all the time with Kate, and feels superior towards probation agent McGee. McGee likes Kate. Kate cares about McGee. McGee adores Abby. Abby matches McGee. Kate is a best friend to Abby. Ducky treats both girls like daughters. Gibbs respects Ducky and never be mad to him and of course, to Abby.

See, everybody shares a warm relationship with everybody. The bond's just so strong, even when they're apart they act like they're close -one that I like is that Tony, named his pet fish "Kate" although that woman has gone for like 9 seasons before. Everybody loves everybody.

It's not just a unit, it's a family.

I know as a real human being,

I'm totally not a part of that fiction group. 

But as a viewer, I feel like a part of their family.

It sells more than the crime itself

NP: The Sweet Deck

Hello again, children of 90s!

Gue semacem baru aja update segala opening intro dari berbagai kartun dan film jaman kecil dulu dan sekarang malah bingung mau play yang mana. Tapi liat dari track list yang udah ada, isinya kan rata rata film film anak cowok ya. Jadi hari ini unyu dikit deh bareng

Cardcaptor Sakura

Category:

Younger Elementary

First of all, supaya gak dijudge yang aneh aneh, gue suka film ini karena keseruan Sakura nyari kartu kartu yang bertebaran di muka bumi. Bukan karena kisah crush Sakura sama sahabat kakaknya atau karena kostum kostum Sakura kalo mau nangkep kartu loh ya -tapi kenapa inget??? Pokoknya keren aja gitu makhluk makhluk yang gak sengaja lepas itu punya kekuatan masing masing, trus di tiap episode satu per satu ditangkep dimasukin ke dalem kartu, trus kekuatan dari makhluk yang udah ditangkep di dalem kartu bisa dipake lagi sewaktu waktu kalo dibutuhin Sakura buat nangkep makhluk yang lain.

Keseruan bertambah pas Li Shaoran muncul. Dua duanya jadi kayak lomba gitu kan buat ngumpulin kartu, dan akhirnya di tiap episode malah jadi kerja sama walopun kartunya cuma bakal bisa jadi punya salah satu dari mereka. Tapi keseruan yang paling pol sih pas Meilin muncul karena gue suka sama dia :"> -entah kenapa kemunculan Chinese girls di dalem anime itu menarik buat gue.

Oke di tiap postingan Neverland Playlist kayaknya gue selalu ngumbar keanehan masa kecil gue gasih? Hm ya as you might guessed, dulu tiap abis selesai nonton satu episode kartun ini, gue selalu gambar kartunya dan gue koleksi untuk kenikmatan pribadi :)

Because if I couldn't be as cool as Gambit,

Nor as slick, mysterious yet entertaining as Joker,

I could always be a cardcaptor
