Gnomeo & Juliet

Wednesday, February 16, 2011

First, I haven't greet you all a Happy Valentine's day 2 days ago, so Happy Belated Valentine's Day for who celebrated it, maybe with your boyfriend, family, and friends (:
I didn't do nothing on 14 feb, I have made some chocolates, but in the end, they are all eaten by my brother and dad, hahaha! I failed to make it this time, I bought wrong chocolate bars and when I tried to melt it, it was failed ): but I still prepared some for my boyfriend. I just gave him yesterday, the chocolates tastes good but it's too sweet for him. I was so happy I can give him my homemade chocolate on our first valentine (:

Anyway, I should to watch this movie last night. But sadly the cinema haven't have this movie yet, I want to watch this so badddd! I've watch the trailer and I think this movie is CUTE!
It's a animation movie based on classic story "Romeo And Juliet" by William Shakespeare. Who doesn't know Romeo and Juliet? Even Chinese legend story has different version of romeo and juliete called, "梁山伯与祝英台" (read: Liang ShanBo yi Zhu YingTai) or people call them as a "Butterfly Lovers". I won't tell anything about the history here, but Gnomeo and Juliet has a different vibe for this movie. Gnomeo and Juliet features two garden gnomes in forbidden love. The couple looks to find lasting happiness and avoid tragedy as they are caught in the middle of a feud between blue and red-hatted garden gnomes. (via: WikiPedia).

Gnomeo Montague (James McAvoy) is a blue gnome and the son of the blue gnome leader. He at first wants to get even with his rival, Tybalt, in the red garden for cheating in a race of lawn mowers , but his enmity towards the red garden (with whom the blue gnomes are enemies) fades when he falls in love with a red gnome, Juliet. He is strong-willed, but caring and brave. In the end, he and Juliet are married.

Juliet Capulet (Emily Blunt) a red gnome and one of the main protagonists. She is the daughter of the leader of the red gnomes. At first, she tries to outstrip the blue gnomes by getting a flower on top of a greenhouse, but after falling in love with the blue gnome Gnomeo, she, like Gnomeo, is no longer contemptuous towards the blues. In the end, they are married. She tends to be stubborn and against being delicate, but can really care about her friends and tend to be a hopeless romantic.

thanks wikipedia for the movie summary and characters and also thanks to IMDb for the cute pictures.

Elton John is one of the artist in this movie soundtrack. I'm so inspired by him since I watched "Lion King" when I was kid. He's a great composer, singer and pianist. And surprisingly, he has a duet with Lady Gaga! I'm so curious :D

Well, I was thought I can enjoy this movie on Valentine's day, and I didnt have any chance, hahaha! I guess I have to find a day to watch this movie, really. I am so into romeo and juliet story. Sorry being cheesy, but yeah this is me (;

New Year's Letter

Monday, January 3, 2011

I missed out my 1st January 2011 post, I spent my last 2010 days with my fellas on new year last weekend, we did some mini-party and also had a fellowship at church, we had some good time. I didn't take some good photos *sadly I know ):* 

Well, I haven't said any new year greet to all of you, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011! Let's start the new year with the new beginning. All the best for you, peeps!

People always do some "new year resolution" at this time, I'm a little hesitant to call mine as a resolution since I wrote some goals, wishes and things to do in 2011. For me, 2010 is my favorite year but it's also become the hardest year to say goodbye.

Let's check the list what I've done and which one is failed or maybe I shud say I haven't do it WELL in 2010 (:

  • Have good grades for college. (STUDY HARDER!)
  • Have a HONGKONG trip. I got my chance to Hongkong actually, but something happened then I lost my Hongkong ):
  • Have a new Canon DSLR. Still saving my money to get it!
  • Have a closer relationship with dear God. I did it (: but sometimes I skipped my morning-meditation especially when winter season comes. It's so hard to get up early, idk why -.-
  • Have a new blog site. Yeah, you read it now :D
  • Have a Online Shop page. Yes, I have it on a Facebook page, and my mom manages it.
  • Play piano/keyboard for Sunday Service at church. Sunday, 11 July 2010 was my first premiere! hahaha :D
  • Have a work experience. err... I shopped a lot for my online shop stuff and packed them all to Indonesia, is that work experience?
  • Have new friends. Bunch of new friends around me :D:
And now this is the letter to future me in 2011!

2010 was a great year for you. You had done some good things and some bad things in 2010. And now 2011 is here, it came for you to begin a new life! In 2011, you have to make your parents proud of you, DON'T EVER TRY TO LET THEM DOWN AGAIN! You have to get your first job soon, maybe a piano teacher? or anything you can do and it earns money. After you get the money, you save it, try to defray yourself without begging your parents for money again, and you can buy yourself good clothes, a pair of pretty shoes, a trip to Hongkong and a beautiful Canon DSLR! You will have more new-good-friends and you still with your dearest boyfriend and celebrate 1st year anniversary with him in 2011 at Guangzhou of course! The other important thing is you still do your meditation every morning before class and do some PW in your room when your roommates not at home, khkh. STOP EATING TOO MUCH, take more exercises, STUDY HARDER and get good grades, and stop being egoist! When you read this at the end of 2011, you will see what have you achieved.

Jane, January 2011.
