gran torino

-
Yah, gue baru nonton gran torino di internet. i know, i know, you can scold me. but i've been stuck at home for weeks and one thing i could do is to surf the net and watch some oscar worthy movies. Gran Torino was amazing. It's about a man, a north-korean war veteran who is living in a solitude. He's not a very corteous man, but he helped a young Hmong boy to grow and become a young man. However, that help includes some game with a Hmong gang that this boy, Tao, was once initiated by. A couple of things that i like here is the use of bad language, the rough-tough look of clint eastwood and the great amount of asian casted for this movie.

Next stop, another Eastwood movie - The Changeling and then, The Curious Case of Benjamin Burton.

Btw, yesterday after church we ate at Chaiyo; this amazing thai restaurant. I love every dish i've ever eaten there. Some to check out; Pla Prik King (fried trout in sweet-spicy chili sauce), Tasty Beef (beef dipped in sweet, savoury sauce), all the kinds of Fried Rice, Rice with Basil Beef and Egg (simly daging giling orak-arik pake kacang polong dan telor ceplok - delicious). So, yesterday for the second time in Seattle i ate like a pig. A Lot. and I am happily stating that i had to take off my long johns that i wore under my jeans, just to create a lot more space for the food to went down my stomach.

After dinner, we (me, dania, shiera) went to Chi Ming Lie's place and bake some apple crisp with his wife - Stefani (wife made them sound so much older) and as it being baked, we watched their wedding video which just arrived and we (plus Kitty - he's a guy) watched Get Smart. Awesomely funny movie.

Went home at 1am and went straight to bed after a little 5 line chat with Dita.

Awal tahun kemarin aku jatuh hati dengan seseorang dan hari ini aku mempertanyakan apakah lebih baik berteman aja dengan pria ini. Lucu ya, betapa cepatnya hati ini bisa berubah. Di satu sisi aku lega logika ku sudah kembali mencuat, naik ke permukaan laut endorfin yang perlahan surut. Realitasnya, pasang yang surut menunjukkan kotornya pantai hatiku. Banyak sisa-sisa sampah dari masa lalu; ngerasa nggak layak dapet perhatian, takut ditinggal, takut ditolak, takut disakiti. Hal-hal yang ku kira sudah ku buang jauh-jauh. Ternyata membuang ide dari pikiran dengan menghancurkan ide itu berbeda. Selama 2 minggu aku bersihin sampah-sampah ini. Aku ganti ketakutan ku dengan kata-kata Tuhan yang menyatakan aku berharga di matanya, mulia bahkan (yesaya 43:4). Aku terima kata-kataNya yang bilang "Aku mengasihi engkau dengan kasih yang kekal" kalau di bahasa inggrisnya "I have loved you with an everlasting love". Sudah terjadi, sudah ku alami, dan akan selalu Ia tunjukkan pad...
