#7: Fave Movie

Day 7 of 30 days writing challenge.

Fave Movie

My favourite movie is 1953's Roman Holiday. It's a romantic comedy starring the loveable Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. 


It's a classic black and white movie, depicting my fave actress in one of her early movies. What so loveable about this movie is it's such a sweet, innocent love story and although it's not a happy ending (considerably), yet it's still a classic. 

Storyline 


Princess Anne (Audrey Hepburn) was heavily depressed due to her strict duty and schedule as a royalty that represents her country. During her stay in Rome, as she accidentally snuck out from the palace, she met an incognito American journalist, Joe Bradley (Gregory Peck). Once trying to sell her story to his editor, Joe started to fell in love with the Princess, who's pretending she's someone else. 

The whole movie took place in Rome, and you can felt as if you were there sightseeing with them. I haven't been to Rome, and seeing this movie made you want to go there. Maybe someday I will. (Forgot to put Rome on my wishlist place before. Lol). My fave scene was when Princess Anne rode a scooter (a classic 1940s vespa I think) with Joe on her back and they ended up got arrested by the police (she drove like crazy. 😂).

It's a simple classic movie that's heartfelt and funny as well. I like many kinds of movies but nowadays I appreciate movies that can both make me happy and laugh, and not thinking too hard on the storyline. I'm a daily overthinker, don't need to be thinking on my spare times.

Ikhtiar

Ingin sekedar berbagi cerita tentang perjalanan hidup sampai mendapatkan yang dinanti-nanti.  Alhamdulillah dua tahun slowdown karena pandemi membawa berkah. Setahun setelah menikah, kami dianugerahi seorang putri yang sangat kami sayangi. Perjalanan  mendapatkannya bisa dibilang tidak mudah. Akumulasi semua pengalaman sebelumnya, banyak rintangan yang dihadapi. Namun syukurlah Allah memberikan amanah kepada kami sekeluarga.  Berkah Habatussaudah Ternyata hadits Rasulullah tentang keutamaan Habatussaudah atau jinten hitam sebagai obat segala penyakit* benar adanya. Jinten hitam ini adalah faktor pembeda utama, selain suami yang sangat sabar dan waktu di rumah yang lebih panjang karena work from home (wfh) . Setelah menikah dengan suami yang penyabar ini, saya disarankan oleh adik saya untuk berikhtiar dengan cara mengkonsumsi 7 (tujuh) butir Habatussaudah/jinten hitam yang sudah disangrai dan madu setiap hari. Cukup tujuh butir, tidak perlu banyak-banyak karena Habatuss...

Mama Drama (yang tercinta)

Selain MLM dan rokok, ada satu hal lagi yang saya bener-bener ga tahan: Mama Drama.  ------- (Warning: postingan ini bikin emak-emak hardchore kejang-kejang. Use it wisely. 😂  Move along at your own risk. ) ------- Semua ibu-ibu baru ini (seumuran sama saya) kelakuannya sangat tipikal di media sosial macam facebook dan path. Terlalu banyak membagi informasi mengenai anak-anaknya dan sangat sangat sangat emosional jika diingatkan ( mama bear will bite you to death! ). Saya sampai pada satu titik dimana saya sangat yakin bahwa mungkin dulu saya tidak benar-benar berteman dengan mereka, karena jelas sekali saya di luar lingkaran mereka (dari segi bahasa, kehidupan, dan persepsi) (Semua ilustrasi saya hapus karena yang punya drama emosi..) Panggilan tipikal: si anu mamanya anu Yang bikin saya paling sadar kalo saya bukan temannya lagi itu adalah saat saya lihat statusnya dan komen-komen di statusnya, semua orang adalah mama/papa/ayah/bunda/kakek/nenek dari nama si...

The Revelation of the Infamous Hags

Well, well, well. What d'you know? At first you were their friends, but right there at the moment they don't need you anymore or despise you with hatred and envy you with all their might--you just turn into the object of their cruelty! Disguise in their keen elegance, never did they actually revealed their truer form infront of promising 'customers'. They even can agitate people into hating each other--and some people really take it personally and even put grudge to people they don't even know! Sick isn't it? Well, they DO dressed nice, covering all that evil devilish thoughts behind their artificial skins. But once you see them, they're nothing but ol' malicious hags, lurking around for prey. Their smiles aren't genuine. Their acts always for the sake of themselves and themselves only--whether to bossing around, getting ETERNAL youth (?), or just bullying others that potentially harmful for their mighty being. I wonder why some people still can'...
