the copycat

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

udah lama pengen nulis ini.

pernah gak punya temen yang doyan banget ngikutin gaya kamu, mulai dari baju, sepatu, gadget, aksesoris, make-up sampe beli barang2 gak penting yang sama dengan kamu?

how do you feel about that?

g beberapa kali ngalamin, ada yang temen akrab, ada juga yang temen biasa. at first, sih lucu2 aja ya, punya baju samaan ya asal gak pas g pake, dia pake juga emangnya anak panti asuhan kembaran.

lama-lama sebel juga, lebih jauh lagi… jadi agak-agak … aneh dan cenderung nakutin.

kalo kata adek g sih, anggep aja g ini trendsetter hihihih apa yang g pake bikin orang pengen. yuk mareeeh…. itu kalo masih yang lucu2an jek. tapi kalo udah nyaris semua diikutin, tanda tanya gak sih?

yang paling ekstrem, pernah g dikasih cincin sama co gw, all of sudden, the copycat beli cincin juga (beli ndri jek, niat banget) trus made up story about it. yuk yak yuuk…. psycho gak sih. sejak itu g gak pake cincinnya dan didepan dia paling males ketahuan punya barang apa, karena pasti dia langsung kekeh marikeh bela-belain beli barang yang sama. daripada g ikut nanggung dosa yang dia lakuin untuk beli barang-barang itu, mendingan g keep it low aja deh.

ya sisi menyenangkannya sih, ternyata g ini cukup diidolakan ya sama dia, masih ditiru-tiru, apa yang g punya dia pengenin ampe segitunya. hihihihihih

cerita copycat kamu gimana?

Diving Bell and The Butterfly

Divingbell Diving Bell and The Butterfly (2007)

Starring : Mathieu Amalric, Emmanuelle Seigner, Marie-Josee Croze, Anne Consigny, Patrick Chesnais

Director : Julian Schnabel

Screenwriter : Ronald Harwood

Watched this movie sometimes last week with Dadi at Blitz Megaplex, Pacific Place. been trying to write a proper review, but things at work always distract me.

Adapted from a french memoir, " Le Schapandre et le Papillon" written by former french Elle Editor-In-Chief Jean-Dominique Bauby.

Jean-Do was living in a good life to the extreme when suddenly in 1995 he became the victim of cerebrovascular accident that cost him a total paralysis. he also incapable of any verbal communication.

The worst part of the accident for Jean-Do was how will he ever made up everything he owe to everyone he loved.

regret.

he felt that he didin’t say  a lot of "sorry" to his ex-wife, didn’t say "i love you" much to his childs, didn’t embrace his lover the way she needs it, didn’t take care of his dad the way he supposed to be.

he struggled to learn comunicating using his eyelids to spell the word, letter by letter with the help of team of therapists in Marine Hospital of Berck-Sur-Mer in Northern France.

Bauby then was able to compose, letter by letter, a lyrical and heartbreaking memoir of his life struggle. Bauby died fourteen months after his accident, two days after the memoir publication.

from the first scene, audience will understand why he named it The Diving Bell, we are feeling like we’re inside the diving bell, left alone deep in the dark blue see. noone will hear every single word we say, even when we scream out loud, to say how much we love them, how much we appreciate every beauty things the brought to our life.

up to you, but to me, i won’t wait to be inside "the diving bell" to realise how beautiful my life is, and live to the fullest.

as usual, i always have my very own fav quotes from the movie ~_^

Jean-Dominique Bauby : I decided to stop pitying myself. Other than my eye, two things aren’t paralyzed, my imagination and my memory.

Jean-Dominique Bauby : A poet once said, only a fool laughs when nothing’s funny.
