Lifting Up the Heavy

“Strength lies in differences, not in similarities”        - Stephen R. Covey 

I went to hang out with my best friends from Middle School last Friday. I always fascinated on how we all could befriended till now. Technically, we're bunch of girls who have (almost) entirely different personalities.
I just don't understand how we could get along so well, feel real comfortable with each other and how we could converse for hours without realizing it! Too bad 2 friends of mine couldn't come because of they've start their college life in advanced. (One in ITB Bandung, Indonesia and one in Diablo Valley College, California)
Aahhh, this reminds me to something, Seven in One Stroke.


We ate at Pizza Marzano, Grand Indonesia.

I ordered Lasagna there. First thing that I noticed is the portion. It's really big portion especially for girl. And for the taste, the significant amount of cheese melted in my mouth. I think they put a lot of mozzarella in it. But I think they put too much ricotta cheese though.

We also ordered Romana Pizza with Meat Bolognese. I like the taste, although I think they should make it more crunchy hahaha. One thing that I didn't like from this pizza is surprisingly the meatball. It tastes too bland.

I bought this little Red Velvet Cupcake at Lees Patisserie at Food Hall, Grand Indonesia for only 16k! It could be one of the best red velvet cake in town! Seriously, it's really moist and tastes not too sweet. And the cream cheese frosting is really really delicious! I recommend this cupcake! <33

Same Sky, Different Time

Time flies real quick nowadays. And without realizing it, I've started my college life in advance. I'm going to Busan, Korea for my undergraduate studies next spring. But before that, I need to attend this course that was held in Slipi to learn Korean Language and Korean Culture. (Yeah, something like foundation)
I wonder what will happened next spring, me in Korea, excited indeed. I desperately want to go there ASAP. But I also wondering, what if it's not as great? what if i can't adapt? what if I can't understand every single thing they're saying? (that's indeed, a lot of "what if")
I couldn't do anything unless pray and rely on what God will prepare for me right? hahaha
Anyway, I wish all of high school graduate this year would prepare and get ready for new, fun life ahead! :) GOODLUCK!

My Guilty Pleasure

I really gotta be honest with you guys. I have this little guilty pleasure that, I admit, sometimes I can't control. And that is.. My addiction to Korean Drama.
Yea, yeah i know, people would think weird of me because of this. But I really just can't help it! What I'm about to write, is a little brief reviews about 2 dramas that has made my world upside down (seriously! i don't get how i could be so emotionally involved because of this 2 dramas! yes, i'm such a crybaby -_-)

1. King 2 Hearts

This drama was so WELL-WRITTEN! About the whole South and North thingy, i know that it was all impossible (at least for now). But the whole story itself, give more than mere romantic, but politic war, officers' life, royal family and many else. So I don't think guys wouldn't bored to death watching this.

The casts was perfect! Their acting was so sharp and really real. And I even must admit that the bad guy here, is really good, both brain wise as his character and acting wise as an actor.

This is also maybe the first K-drama ever that made me cry a river in almost every single latest episodes (because the first 4-9 episodes are hilarious!)

And of course, UNPREDICTABLE! (because I HATE predictable drama)

My Rate = 9.5/10

Check out the synopsis HERE! | Watch it with english subs HERE! 

2. Queen In Hyun's Man

To be honest, I started watching this drama because of the main actor confessed that he LOVES the main actress IN PUBLIC, IN THEIR FANMEETING! How sweet was that? (i'm such a girl, lol!)

And I finished it in 2-3 days! Because it was THAT good! It was BOTH hilarious and sad at the same time.

The storyline was well balanced with pretty heavy conflict from Joseon Era (around year 1600-ish Korean History) and really light and sweet in modern days part. Yes, this drama is about time travel.

And what made me love this drama more is, the very REAL chemistry between the main actors! I really think they should date in real life! (and after the main actor's confession, the reason of their surreal chemistry is explainable, HAHAHA)

And as always, UNPREDICTABLE!! Because for the first time in my "k-drama watching" history, I give up the thought of having happy ending for the drama! (no worries peeps, it's happy ending drama! they just made us think that there's no way out, lol!)

My Rate = 9/10

Movie Guide #3

Another movie reviews!!!! yayyy! Watched Madagascar 3 few hours ago :) Lovely!
Without further ado, here's the brief review!

Madagascar 3 : Europe Most Wanted

Another Madagascar movie!!! LOVE this sequels so much! Always entertaining! I'm soooooo eager to watch the Saragoza *slash* Afro Circus!! Real awesome! (although it's obviously not possible)

I bet kids are having so much time watching this movie! Though sometimes while I'm watching, I need to keep reminding myself to think like a youngster kids because the whole movie is already too impossible! (and it's much more impossible than mere talking animals and beware with so much random things in this movie!) And the movie somehow feels so short (not that it's a bad thing though, since they probably don't want the kids fall asleep. hahaha)

My Rate = 8/10

Love, Andreina

Movie Guide #2

Movie Guide numberrrrrr (drumroll pleaseee) ...... 2!
I actually watched these movies last week, but haven't really got the chance to blog it out (although I actually kind of free everyday -_-)
Well, no more blab, here are the reviews :)

1. Lock Out

Unexpectedly pretty good! I'm loving Guy Pearce now! His character here is reallyreally cool, like we can rest assure because he made us believe that he can handle it no matter what happened (lol! now he sounds real cool rite?)
As for the whole movie, I think it's pretty simple and straight-forward with twist in the end. There are some  parts that need more explanation though. (it's mostly in the end so i'm not going to give spoiler to you guys)
My Rating = 7/10

2. Snow White and the Huntsman

The long anticipated Tim Burton movie! Two words for this movie, CHARLIZE-THERON! She is AMAZING i tell ya! Perfect wicked witch (or stepmom).  I'm no fan of Kristen Stewart and this movie didn't make me her fan either because I always feel that she has this same expression every time if you know what I mean. (no offense to stewart fans).

Nevertheless, the graphic was BEAUUUUTIFUL!! Especially the fairy land and the white deer (sorry, i don't know what it's called. lol) and even the dark forest!

My complain is, once again, the ending part! It just felt flat and didn't work for me. 

My Rating = 8/10

Tell me what do you guys think about the movies above if you watched it too.

I'm gonna watch Prometheus and Madagascar later! So, expect another movie guide coming up! :)

Love, Andreina

Prom Night : SUMMER

SENIOR PROMMMM!! My senior prom was held in Equinox, Plaza Senayan on Tuesday, 15 May 2012. (Yes, last tuesday)
It was awesome! I thought I won't cry because there's no way I'm ruining my make up hahaha, but I cried. There was some segment like "moment of truth" and there are A LOT of unexpected things happened. So, yeah, mixed feelings definitely. It just so sad to realize that my high school is officially done! And also realizing how precious your memories with your friends in high school, this is something that can't be repeated.
Anyway, enough with the tears. The DJ was awesome although we couldn't see him/her because of the background decoration, LOL. My thighs and calves are hurting like crazyyy .___.

(Back)

So here are some photos that I took :) Not much and not really clear, sorry..
Btw, I decided that I'm going to design my own prom dress and here it is. With the help of my super-duper-ultra talented friend, Sharon Putri who helped me to do some finishing touches for this design.
(The theme is Garden but the venue is in the club so, gotta add a little edgy touch here and there I guess)

Anyway, sorry for ultra late post, I just came back from my beloved trip to Bali with my friends :)

Love, Andreina
