#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.

How to Ghibli?

That time of the year, again. Why can't life be more like Ghibli's aesthetics? It has been a while for me to be in my 30s, and soon I will be turning 40. What will one expect when one turns into a 40-year-old woman?  Why can't life be like Ghibli's slice of life feature films? Why can't we find ideal love like in those movies? 3 years ago today I still can't imagine that I finally found out that my (back then) spouse was a serial cheater, a swinger, and an avid liar. My whole life was crumbled, and my mind went crazy, like literally mad (will tell this someday when I'm ready). And briefly after that, I met a random guy, got married again in such a short time, and have a baby not long after. Back then, no one really cares about how I feel inside, my messed up mind is still there up until now. So, what to do?

#9: Happiness

  Day 9 of 30 days writing challenge. Happiness I am everything but happy right now, I'm sorry. Not really in the mood to talk about happiness so today we'll be off topic. Not happy now. Just heard a heartbreaking news about work-related stuff, and the feel of rejection is similar with the one that I felt during my apprenticeship year, when I heard that my Studio Coordinator gave me an E so I have to do another year again (8 hours credits do it another year, he hated me gut and my window shape , so yeah I'm screwed). Always thought that drawing buildings isn't my thing, but I stuck there nonetheless. Come to think of it, my undergrad years were full of sh*t and sadness, there's always this lecturer that hated your design. And you felt like crap). I cried back then, on the rooftop of RRI building where my project management took place. I'm not always bright, I've been through hell. And it's not sweet. Anyways, I'm not unfamiliar with this kind of f...

#4: Places on My List

Day 4 of  30 days writing challenge. Places on My List Been obsessed with these places, and wished the pandemic soon to be over so that we can go there and enjoy life and love to the fullest. Cambodia I don't know why, been dreaming on going to Siem Reap  for about two years now. The thoughts of going there seemed exquisitely charming and the old temples--although some said similar to what we have in Jogja --look mysterious.  Ancient stone faces of Bayon temple, Angkor, Cambodia.  Photo: iStock (https://www.traveller.com.au/siem-reap-cambodia-things-to-do-expert-tips-from-an-expat-h1ju19) Maybe i'm a bit influenced by Tomb Raider and Indiana Jones , always love those kinds of movies (and games). I remember when I was a child, there's this TV show about treasure-hunt and stuff (I forgot the title, sorry) where the main character flew a seaplane in a tropical island looking for treasures, some in ancient ruins. I also preoccupied by One Piece , a superb manga created ...
