My Son Is so Into “Earth Song” and “Heal the World”

Lately I watched and listened to Michael Jackson’s two famous songs a lot called “Earth Song” and “Heal the World” thanks to my six years old son.

So it was all started when my husband was working on his laptop at home while listening to “Earth Song”. Getting interested by the song caught his ears, my son asked what is the song called. My husband got super serious for this question, he stopped whatever the work he did and opened Youtube, showed our curious son the song’s clip and explained what the song is all about.

Then what happened next just come naturally. Our son asked me to print the song’s lyrics and downloaded the song in order for him to memorize it. He almost never missed listening to it every day. Can’t you imagine how frustrated my parents are since my son monopolized their television and watched “Earth Song” ’s clip all day.

But positive thing about this new interest is that my son asked lots of questions about nature, mother earth, what cause all the destruction happened on. That’s quite deep questions you guys and for a six years old child I’m so blessed that he has already asked these questions.

He asked me to buy him white gloves just like Michael Jackson wore in the clip and practiced the famous moon walk (and it is super funny). One day he draw the earth and wrote on it aku ♥ bumi ( I love earth ) and draw the king of pop himself.

Motherhood is just great and I’m super blessed for having this loveable son whom I wished all the happiness, health and success in life. And most importantly I wish he never ever go different direction from what Allah SWT tells us to.

"In a Blue Moon" by Ilana Tan

Hello again ……

This time around I decided to share my number one favorite book which I’ve reread for more than ten times and it’s called “In a Blue Moon” by my favorite author also Ilana Tan.

It is all started when Sophie Wilson, a girl who runs her own tartlet outlet called A Piece of Cake met Lucas Ford, the only person she wishes to never ever see again after what he did during their high school time. In fact, Sophie has always had this hatred feeling against Lucas, a top and famous chef of Ramses, a fancy and very well-known restaurant in New York.

The two met again after ten years at a wedding of Spencer Wilson, Sophie’s brother. Lucas’ grandfather, Gordon Ford, attends the wedding ceremony for he is a close friend to Thomas Wilson, Sophie’s grandfather. When the eccentric old man named Gordon met Sophie for the first time, he decided that Sophie will be the only fiancée for his grandson Lucas and when this old man made his mind he would do whatever it takes to make it happen.

When Lucas and Sophie met again after ten years apart, the famous chef felt the same way when he first knew Sophie in the high school, something he never felt to any other girl before. He knew that Sophie still hated him and for that he tried so many ways hoping that girl would accept his apology. With Gordon as his reason, Lucas convinced Sophie that they should met each other to ensure that their grandfathers no longer involved in their relationship and Sophie finally agreed.

After couples of meeting, couples of coincidence encounters and couples of text messages, Sophie finally remembered the feeling she used to have when she looked at Lucas’ eyes. The two were also faced by the presences of Miranda, Lucas’ model friend who consider herself to be the only girl for Lucas, and Adrian Graves, Sophie’s ex-boyfriend.

What I love about this book is that each character in this book is so different yet interesting and real at the same time. The author also successfully describes New York where the story takes place. Each of the story’s character is so mature.

For you who haven’t read this book, I highly recommend it for you. Me myself still enjoy reading it even though I’ve reread the book several times. For addition, Ilana Tan is a mysterious author since all of the books written by this author never mentioned anything about the author’s profile.

Two of Ilana Tan’s books that have been made into big screen are “Sunshines Becomes You” and “Winter in Tokyo”.

2019 Teen RomCom Movies

Review time ………..

Do I need to stretch up since I haven’t done this for decades hahahahhaha …..

Okay right now I want to review three teenage romantic comedy films I watched recently. And what I mean teenage is yes these three movies cover stories about high school students. I have watched some teenage movies lately but I love these three so far. Okay let’s start.

Let’s start with the third from my personal charts. The third will be “Tall Girl”, released by Netflix on September 13, 2019. The movie is about a 16-year old girl, the tallest girl in school with height 6 ft 1 1⁄2 in (1.87 m) tall. Jodi, played by beautiful Ava Michelle, is constantly mocked by her classmates with their repeated same question, “how’s the sky up there?” Despite all that mockery, Jodi is actually a smart, kind, brave and loyal girl. She has these two bestfriends Jack Dunkleman, portrays by Griffin Gluck, who has crush on her for years, and eccentric Anjelika Washington as Fareeda, who will stand for her no matter what. And with the present of Stig Mohlin, a Swedish foreign exchange student who apparently is taller than Jodi, this tall girl instantly falls for. The struggle Jodi has to go through to get his attention has somehow shaken her friendship with Jack Dunkleman and Fareeda and trapped her in love triangle. But the film ends very nice with Jodi comes to realize that all she needs all this time is all what she already has.

Let’s move to the second from my personal charts and it goes to “The Last Summer”. I really really enjoy watching this romcom which tells a group of friends with each of their love, friendship and college problems they have to face during their final summer before college. One story follows KJ Apa as Griffin and Maia Mitchell as Phoebe, two brilliant students who both accepted in top universities and during those summer holiday the two fall for each other when Griffin helps beautiful Phoebe with her documentary film project. Another story follows Halston Sage as Erin and Jacob Latimore as Alec, Erin’s longtime boyfriend. The two decide to go to separate ways trying to be realistic since going to colleges in different country will, they believe, eventually break them apart. Other follows Erin’s best friend Audrey played by Sosie Bacon and Wolfgang Novogratz as Foster, Alec’s bestfriend. Separately the two portrayed struggled with what they really want and what they try to achieve.

And finally, the first from my personal charts goes to (drumroll pelase ….) “To All the Boys I've Loved Before”. The 2018 American teen romance movie is based on Jenny Han’s 2014 novel of the same name. It started with Lara Jean, portrays by Lana Condor, with all her love letters she wrote for all the boys she had a crush on and kept all those letters in her closet. The last letter she wrote was to her childhood friend Josh, who is dating her older sister Margot. But Margot and Josh break up when Margot moves to college. The things get messed up when Lara’s little sister Kitty sneaks into Lara’s room, finds the love letters and decides to send all those letters to the intended destination. The next day, Lara is confronted by her former crush Peter Kavinsky, played by Noah Centineo, who claims to receive her love letter through mail. Lara and Peter decide to play as a fake couple in order to get the attention of Josh and Peter’s ex-girlfriend.  But during that fake relationship, the two realize that they can’t live apart.

Motherhood

Good day everyone .....

Wahhh I really can't believe that it has been 6 years since my last post. Life has been great and kind to me. Kinda busy being a wife and mother and believe me being a mother is just ... I don't know if great could explains how I feel. Things that used to scare me no longer scared me but well more things get freaking me out hahahaha but trust me it scares me in good way. It scares and excites me at the same time.

I am still Westlife's big fan, still love watching Korean and Chinese dramas, still consider my self a little girl and convince my self that I'm already a grown ups (ouch on that hahahaha). Still love writing which will always be my passion and has this dream that I keep in my heart. I believe that God has a plan for me on that.

I has changed in some ways but also I believe that nothing change much. I love my husband even more now compared to when we used to date and my son is the greatest thing that happens to us so far. We still learn to be humble, work hard, pray hard and keep be positive. 

You know what, writing like this just make me happy and I am glad I still can share my thoughts here. I will write again soon and for that peroid of time I really really wish everyone a happy and cherish day.

Miracle Happens

Hi there,

How’s life?

Well mine pretty amazing things have happened. Hmmm …. Let’s start with last October when I got married. Alhamdulilah, I had an amazing wedding party held at one of Surabaya’s hall. I and my-now husband, since we’re in relationship, never expected to have a wedding celebration. We rather had an intimate wedding ceremony at my place or his place. 

We both don’t come from wealthy families and we’d rather spend our money for a new house down payment. And thankfully, By Allah SWT’s permission, we were allowed to hold a wedding celebration and the big dream also. And we were happy, till now we’re happy, that every detail of our nuptials was organized by ourselves and we didn’t give any financial burden to our parents.

 

Ok, enough with the boast :). I moved from my parents’ house to my husband’s parents’ house. Honestly, I had quite hard time not because my parents in law are not nice to me it just that I missed my families so much and I hardly stayed far for them. 

Then, something incredible happened to me again. Alhamdulilah. I had my last period in November and I didn’t get that on December. I also sometimes had nauseous. So on December, we decided to go to obstetrician and he told me that I was at that time 4-week expecting. Subhanalah :) 

Now, I’m on my third month. During the first two months, I admitted it was quite horrible. I felt nauseous all the time and I vomit all the time especially after I ate something. Two weeks after my first visit to obstetrician, we visited the doctor again for some nauseous medicine. 

But the medicine didn’t give any impact to me. I still working and working times were horrible. I couldn’t even stand up for long and lots of people told me I look pale. On the last second month, we visited our obstetrician again and we found out that I lost 3 kg of my weight in less than two months. The doctor asked me how many times I vomited in a day and Ranno told him about 3-4 times a day.

Then, he gave me a different medicine for my nauseous. And Alhamdulilah, the medicine works very well. I mostly don’t feel any more nauseous and I never vomit again. Now, I really want to focus on my baby in my womb. The doctor estimated that our baby will be born in mid August. That’s Ramadhan and Idul Fitri :). We can’t wait for that. Alhamdulilah :)
