  • “friends will be friends. when you’re in need of love, they give you care and attention…”

    Ah… Feels so good to be back again. I still can’t tell you what happened a few days ago, but here’s a hint: it really broke my heart. Thank God, I have very wonderful friends! They took me to fun fun FUN getaways 🙂

    On Friday, Entin took me to Ciwalk

    There was an event held by MNCTV where we could find characters from cartoon series aired in MNCTV. We took pictures with Shaun the Sheep, Upin & Ipin, and many more. After that, we bought donuts in J.Co 🙂

    On Saturday, Mijra and I went to WS Gatot Soebroto

    It was kinda hard, actually, to go to WS yesterday. It made me think about certain things that broke my heart. But I went there with Mijra, so yeah… She entertained me with her silly-ness. Haha! 😀

    On Sunday, Angga and I went to Padalarang

    We took train to Padalarang (his first train ever!) and went to Science Museum in Kota Baru Parahyangan. After that, we went to Situ Ciburuy and had lunch there. The museum was fun, but Situ Ciburuy was out of my expectation. Haha! Going there was such a waste of energy. We actually walked to get there from Tagog, can you believe? Haha! But it was fun, though… 🙂

    I’m so glad to have friends like you, guys! *hugs*

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

  • summer afternoon: a mixtape by putdar

    Hi! Sorry for the lack of new posts. There was a huge thing happened to my life yesterday. It might bring some big changes in my life, and it might affect this blog, too. So, I guess I’m taking a break for a few days from the blogosphere. I’ll still be available on other social media, though. You could also send me an email if you want. And before I go, here’s a mixtape I made a few days ago to accompany you while I’m away. I hope I could be back as soon as possible. See you! 🙂

    A few weeks ago, Leelee had this group sponsor giveaway on her blog and I won two prizes (TWO!!). One of them arrived today. This one is an owl necklace from Ashley of After Nine To Five.

    What a cute, cute owl! Thank you, Leelee and Ashley! <3

    And ’tis a pain that pain to miss;
    But of all pains, the greatest pain
    It is to love, but love in vain.”

  • friday night movies #4

    Yesss. I finally got back to doing this (supposedly) weekly feature. So sorry for my lack of consistency. Last week I went to Jakarta so I didn’t have time to watch movies. And two weeks ago… I don’t remember what I did two weeks ago, but I know I missed that one too. Apology accepted? Great! Now let’s proceed 😀

    Alright. Before I tell you my opinion about this movie, first let me tell you that I really, really (from the deepest part of my heart) dislike Zac Efron. And his acting in this movie just added up my already-full list of the reasons why I hate him. Why couldn’t he just act normally? I mean, like how boys are supposed to do? Well he’s cute, we know that. And clearly he knows that, too. I think that’s why he keeps doing those unnecessary gestures, like saying “Yo, girls! I know you’re checking up on me.” Yuck!

    This movie is about the adult Mike O’Donnell who turns into his 17-year-old self, getting a chance to repair his relationship with his two teenage kids and his (almost ex-)wife. The movie begins with a scene showing Mike when he was still in high school, getting ready for an important basketball game where he could get a college scholarship should he play good in it. Right before the game started, his girlfriend told him that she was pregnant. Mike left the game to chase her and asked her to marry him. The movie then skips into Mike in the present, 37 and in the process of getting a divorce. One night, he has an accident and he turns 17 again. Helped by his high school best friend, Ned, he enrolls in his old high school, where his two kids also go. He befriends them and so the drama goes on.

    Aside of Efron’s stupid look, I personally think that this movie is quite good. The idea of reliving your past is not new, of course. But this movie doesn’t bring you to the past: it brings the past to you. That is the funny side of this movie. I like the part where Maggie (Mike’s son) tries to seduce him, and the one where Mike kisses his wife, which looks inappropriate since he is physically 17. The ending is kinda predictable, but I hate it that this movie doesn’t tell us whether Alex (Mike’s son) gets the scholarship or not. That’s too bad, because I’m so curious! Haha

    In general, I’d like to give it three and a half stars out of five 🙂

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

    PS. No offense to all Efron’s fans out there 😉
