Anna Scott Said It Truthfully

"After all... I'm just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."

My Stupid Heart

Rejected, neglected and got left

But everytime i see her smile, my heart melt.

Getting hurt from time to time

But if she is in trouble, i’ll still be there for her anytime.

She break my heart and tear it apart

But still all i want is her heart.

She said, "i don’t love you" and told me to get out of the way

But my stupid heart didn’t know how to feel the other way.

Love at First Sight

They’re both convinced
that a sudden passion joined them.
Such certainty is beautiful,
but uncertainty is more beautiful still.

Since they’d never met before, they’re sure
that there’d been nothing between them.
But what’s the word from the streets, staircases, hallways -
perhaps they’ve passed by each other a million times?

I want to ask them
if they don’t remember -
a moment face to face
in some revolving door?
perhaps a "sorry" muttered in a crowd?
a curt wrong number" caught in the receiver?
but I know the answer.
No, they don’t remember.

They’d be amazed to hear
that Chance has been toying with them
now for years.
Not quite ready yet
to become their Destiny,
it pushed them close, drove them apart,
it barred their path,
stifling a laugh,
and then leaped aside.

There were signs and signals,
even if they couldn’t read them yet.
Perhaps three years ago
or just last Tuesday
a certain leaf fluttered
from one shoulder to another?
Something was dropped and then picked up.
Who knows, maybe the ball that vanished
into childhood’s thicket?

There were doorknobs and doorbells
where one touch had covered another
beforehand.
Suitcases checked and standing side by side.
One night, perhaps, the same dream
grown hazy by morning.

Every beginning
is only a sequel, after all,
and the book of events
is always open halfway through.

Flightless Bird, American Mouth

Though for me the Twilight movie was quite a bad cinematic experience, but the ensemble soundtrack of the movie is great in my opinion. Here is the lyric of a beautiful song from Iron & Wine, my most favorite from a prom dance scene;


I was a quick wet boy, diving too deep for coins
All of your street light eyes wide on my plastic toys
Then when the cops closed the fair, I cut my long baby hair
Stole me a dog-eared map and called for you everywhere

Have I found you
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping or lost you, american mouth
Big pill looming

Now I'm a fat house cat
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
Watching the warm poison rats curl through the wide fence cracks
Pissing on magazine photos
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold
And clean blood of Christ mountain stream

Have I found you
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding or lost you, american mouth
Big pill stuck going down


The lyric is quite too much for me to chew, but from the interpretation that I read in the internet this is the one I most agree with:

He was the cat that lusted for her, the perfect prey, a flightless bird. He opened her up sexually & left, not realizing he fell in love. He came back to find her but he finds her surrounded by the rats aka other men. He is disgusted, worries that he was the cause & can't believe he did this to the person he fell in love with.

Freestyle Frog

This idea came out on some chit chat about nothing brainstorming session between me, Herman and Dedi on Pomato. This and another idea was a frog using electric racket to catch a fly. The main message was change to survive.

Later on Dedi and his partner for Daun Muda Award Cecil (a very talented art director and illustrator, trust me on this) used the idea and executed it beautifully. I like it so much, just exactly like what i imagined when we talk about it on that brainstorming session.

But unfortunately the idea couldn't deliver them to be top 10 finalists. Personally i like this so much, not just because i had some participation but because it answered the brief on every level. Stupid judges, especially when i saw all the top 10 finalists work, some are very good but the majority are all crap compared to this.

Meooowww

This is also my portfolio with Pomato Asia. The case was HSBC was opening a new branch on Mangga Dua, one of the biggest business center in Jakarta with the Chinese people as the majority player, one of the most hard clients to persuade.

So to introduce HSBC to them and show them that we understand their needs, we send a creative brochure just like you see above. For me it's simple and straight to the point work yet had a concept and creative twist in it. Not over the top, not under expectation, just perfectly adequate...=)

The Future Teller

This is one of my portfolio from my previous office Pomato Asia (you better watch this name because it's gonna go big in the future). The client is HSBC that just had a new risk management product cooperated with a huge insurance and financial company, Fortis if i'm not wrong.

So to launch and introduce this product to all the potential customer, we made a direct mail with crystal ball. We send it and gave the manual of how to operated the crystal ball to foresee the future and avoid risks, but if you can't do that well you always had an option to be our customer.

Personally and objectively i see this piece as one of the most cool works i've ever done with Pomato and Herman Tantriyadi as the Creative Director. But the jury of the 2006 Citra Pariwara didn't have the same vision i guess, but who care, F*@k them all, the most important thing is I love it, love it, love it.

Twilight Zone

Tu li lulit tu li lulit tu li lulit, bagi yang tumbuh besar bersama TV RCTI di tahun 90an pasti familiar dengan nada dari serial Twilight Zone yang dulu sering diputar pada hari Minggu jam 6 sore. Serial ini berisi cerita-cerita yang aneh dengan akhir yang biasanya out of the box untuk ukuran acara-acara di zamannya, karena kapasitas otak gue pada waktu itu belum sepenuhnya berkembang seringkali gue hanya garuk-garuk kepala bingung, hehehehe.

So diawali oleh mouth to mouth marketing yang sangat kenceng tentang sebuah novel berjudul Twilight, everybody is talking about it. Fenomena yang mirip dengan novel Laskar Pelangi, yang serupa juga efeknya ke gue, TIDAK TERTARIK! Lagian konsep cerita vampire memang bukan my favorite subject. Selesai gelombang bukunya eh sekarang nongol filmnya, yang lagi-lagi rame minta ampun. Seorang temen gue ada yang nonton sampe 2 kali, katanya bagus banget, bedalah ceritanya, ada juga yang bilang this is the next Harry Potter! Diberondong kanan kiri dengan informasi seperti itu akhirnya rasa penasaran gue timbul juga, siapa tau setelah nonton filmnya pendapat gue bisa berubah seperti waktu gue nonton Laskar Pelangi, so berangkatlah gue ke my holy ground semalem.

Sampai di loket tiket ternyata masih banyak kursi, aman hehehehehe. Nunggu dan muter-muter sekitar 1 jam akhirnya tiba juga waktunya film diputar, masuk dan ternyata full house lho. Dalam hati gue bilang, “Gila juga ini film bisa bikin bioskop full house di hari selasa n di jam pemutaran terakhir pula.”

And then come the moment of truth, menurut gue sih overall Twilight is just a regular love story with a little twist that’s all, nothing special, period. Pemeran utama wanitanya si Bella lumayan eye candy, in gloomy and awkward way, tapi cuma di adegan yang in door, soalnya di semua adegan out doornya dia berubah jadi kayak orang kena anemia akut. Lalu satu lagi karakter Edward Cullen yang digembar-gemborkan ganteng bukan main, pas karakternya nongol gue lansung berpikir, ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!!??? His head is so big, the face line is like a square lunch box, the paleness is also ridiculous, and the cherry on top is when he shows how his skin looks under the sun, IT’S GLITTERING MY FRIEND, and the woman said you’re beautiful, WTF!!!

Buat gue juga chemistry diantara keduanya kurang banget, alesan perasaan cinta yang begitu menggebu-gebu diantara mereka juga kurang kuat buat gue. Enggak tau juga ya mungkin kalau di bukunya akan dikupas jauh lebih kompleks dan make sense kali yak. Klimaksnya film ini juga kurang menggigit, belum lagi special efek yang standar, n entah kenapa dari semua jurus yang memungkinkan buat ditunjukkan sang sutradara hobi banget dengan adegan manjat pohon yang enggak ada keren-kerennya.

Yah overall film ini sih not a complete waste of money, gue hanya merasa enggak sebanding aja dengan euphoria orang-orang, kok bisa yah segitu hebohnya. Pas film abis dengan meninggalkan hint buat sekuelnya gue cuma bisa garuk-garuk kepala, bingung gue, sebingung pas selesai nonton Twilight Zone dulu, 2.5 stars for this movie.

Jason Mraz - You and I Both (acoustic)

i LOVE this song soooooooooooo much

I Remember

Performed by : Mocca

I remember...The way you glanced at me, yes I remember
I remember...When we caught a shooting star, yes I remember
I remember.. All the things that we shared,
and the promise we made, just you and I
I remember.. All the laughter we shared,
all the wishes we made, upon the roof at dawn

Do you remember..?When we were dancing in the rain in that december
And I remember..When my father thought you were a burglar
I remember.. All the things that we shared,
and the promise we made, just you and I
I remember.. All the laughter we shared,
all the wishes we made, upon the roof at dawn

I remember.. The way you read your books, yes I remember
The way you tied your shoes, yes I remember
The cake you loved the most, yes I remember
The way you drank you coffee, I remember
The way you glanced at me, yes I remember

When we caught a shooting star, yes I remember
When we were dancing in the rain in that december
And the way you smile at me, yes I remember

Masa Depan Sinema Kita Emang Bikin Takuuttt!!!

Dinna Olivia adalah seorang gadis modern yang tidak percaya dunia supranatural, sementara di sisi lain Shanty dan Fauzi Baadila adalah dua orang yang bepikir bahwa supranatural dapat menjadi jawaban dari sifat manusiawi mereka. Hal tersebut juga diyakini Wiwied sang penari, dimana kecantikan adalah modal mutlak yang harus dimiliki. Namun arti kecantikan untuk Shareefa Daanish adalah bahwa ia dapat menggunakannya untuk mengelabui semua laki-laki yang akan menjadi korbannya. Di bagian kota yang lain, Marcella Zalianty harus berhadapan dengan pengkhianatan Lukman Sardi yang menusuk sanubarinya. Dan tanpa disadari seluruh isi kota kota terancam punah karena adanya mutasi gen yang mengakibatkan manusia berubah jadi zombie-zombie lapar yang haus darah.

6 cerita pendek karya 7 orang sutradara menjadi sebuah anthology film pendek berjudul TAKUT, dimana 1 jeritan dapat mewakili semua ketakutan yang ada pada seorang manusia.

Directed by: Riri Riza, Mo Brothers, Rako Prijanto, Ray Nayoan
Cast: Dinna Olivia, Fauzi Baadila, Marcella Zalianty, Shanty, Lukman Sardi, Eva Celia, Mike Muliadro
Duration: 91 min

Berbekal resensi inilah akhirnya gue berangkat ke Blitz GI semalem, buat menghadapi salah satu ketakutan terbesar gue, yaitu buang-buang duit buat nonton film yang lebih baik tidak pernah dibikin (biasanya film Indo sih yang kayak gini).

Dan ternyata sekali lagi gue harus kecewa dan bergetar terguncang berpegangan erat di bangku gue untuk mencegah stimulasi dari otak gue yang menjerit, “FILM SAMPAAAHHHHHHHHHH AYO KITA KELUAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!”, ketakutan gue lagi-lagi terbukti. Ternyata pepatah hadapilah ketakutanmu supaya kamu bisa get over it tidak berlaku untuk kasus gue yang satu ini.

Pembukaannya aja udah bikin gue khawatir, 3D nanggung anak kuliahan plus musik yang enggak menegangkan sama sekali. Lalu muncul lah film pertama yang berjudul Show Unit kalo gak salah, dibintangi Lukman Sardi sama Marcella. Sutradaranya sok keren gitu menggunakan semacam filter yang bukannya memberi keunikan malah jadi menambah kenistaan. Ceritanya juga menghina intelegensia kita banget, ya gue ngerti sih waktunya cuma 15 menit but you can do so much better than a very very very 1000X low class thriller ini. Sampah 1 – Sinema Indonesia 0

Masuk cerita ke-2, Titisan Naya oleh Riri Riza. Gue ngerasa ini adalah semacam teaser dari feel film Drupadi yang akan segera rilis. Tadinya gue pikir nama besar Riri Riza paling enggak bisa memberikan ketenangan dari sisi kualitas, tapi lagi-lagi saya salah besar. Satu-satunya hal yang menghibur dari segmen ini adalah Dina Olivia yang mencoba tampil menggoda gimanaaaa geto, sisanya mah haaaaaaaahhhhh bikin menghela napas. Sampah 2 – Sinema Indonesia 0

Cerita ke-3 dibuka dengan seseorang yang lagi ngintip 2 orang wanita yang sedang membicarakan masalah orgasme sambil ganti baju. Scriptwriternya enggak punya topic lain yang lebih norak ya, kayaknya banyak cara deh menggiring penonton tanpa harus ngeluarin dialog pepesan kosong gitu. Dan sama seperti Titisan Naya, film yang ini juga kental aroma Jawanya. Yang lumayan menjual disini cuma keseksian susu tumpah dari pemeran wanitanya doang, yang lainnya mah ke laut aja lah. Sampah 3 – Sinema Indonesia 0.

Lanjut Fauzi Baadilah dan Shanty mencoba menggebrak dengan The List, yang berbicara seputar mitos santet. Ada beberapa bagian yang lumayan lucu sih, tapi secara overall mah bikin sakit mata juga lah. Sampah 4 – Sinema Indonesia 0.

And then here comes the worst of them all, The Rescue dengan meminjam konsep zombie George A Romero yang dikerjakan dengan teknik anak semester 3 IKJ, dialog yang masya Allah. Elo bayangin aja masa masih ada scriptwriter yang nulis dialog kayak, “….benar kan dia selalu tepat waktu, seperti jam tangan Swiss.” OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDD are you some kind of retard? Everybody in this segment are suck with capital s,u,c & k. Sampah 5.5 (ini film katro banget di semua aspek sampe gue harus kasih nilai 1.5 buat kecaurannya) – Sinema Indonesia 0.

When they said it’s always the darkest before dawn, it’s true. Film yang ke-6 ini masuk dalam kategori lumayanlah walaupun enggak bisa dibilang bagus juga. Disutradarai oleh Mo Brothers, film berjudul Dara ini menggabungkan Untold Story-nya Hongkong dengan SAW. Hasilnya cukup menghibur dan menegangkan, dengan make up pucat dan akting datar Daanish yang lumayan mencekam. Kalo mau ngomongin flaw nya mah enggak akan abis-abis, bottomline is dari semua segmen yang disodorkan, Dara ini cukup stand out lah dibandingin ke 5.5 sampah sebelumnya.

Jadi hasil akhirnya adalah : Sampah 5.5 – Sinema Indonesia 0.5
