"apa artinya cinta"

anna and i are reading this movie review in tempo magazine. it's on "apa artinya cinta", reviewed by leila chudori. it's too harsh you feel sorry for the movie crew and artists. but, as i said elsewhere, it's a review -- and review is a subjective act. leila has all the freedom to kill a movie. nonetheless, i usually buy her taste.

but anna has a good point: leila might just be a representation of her generation, or at best, her peer. meanwhile, that movie, just like other chick-flicks, has it's own niche. the fact that youngsters are willing to pay and stand in queue several hours is an indication that there is demand for this type of crap -- whether you like it or not.

that said, i suggest my peer: avoid this movie!

hospital that doesn't seem to be

my father in law is hospitalized. this hospital is supposed to be one of the best hospitals in the country. yet, anna and i are surprised by the their slow service. my in-law got in yesterday at 1pm. he was taken into the icu. they took his blood sample. and we had to wait 3 hours before they told us that anna's father had to stay!

is that cool ER series really just a fiction?

the expensive minute


receipt Posted by Picasa

anna is always outraged when we exceed the 60 min 59 sec of a parking-hour, on the way to paying it! and i can't blame her: the last minute is the most expensive minute.

yay, it's holiday

it feels good to have saturday on wednesday from this week to next week!
