We're OK!

Thanks to the three people who left a comment on the last post. They totally made me smile. Aaaand here are some other things that made me smile recently.
:: This semester is ending this week. Yaaaaay!
:: Saw Man of Steel and wanting to name my firstborn son 'Henry' after I left the theater. Silly, I know. But did you see how cute he was with that beard? Gah. Russell Crowe fits right in as Superman's father. And Faora... oh man. I love the movie and I think it left a lot to explore for the possible sequels.
:: Saw Monsters University with Lily. I didn't expect the story to be that touching since it's the prequel. And it's about monsters going through university life. I mean, what's so different, right? Haha. But of course I have to watch it. I love animation movies. Well, Sulley and Wazowski's relationship at the beginning reminded me to Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street. The movie was so funny. I totally have some good laugh watching it even though the theater was full with so many children and some of them a.k.a the one who sits next to Lily who sits next to me started to whine. And if you haven't guessed it already, the title of this post is definitely from one of the scenes! "We're OK (Oozma Kappa)!" :D
:: I met Felove and fell in love with her. Pun intended. I first met her when she was a few days old and now she's a tiny but healthy 9 months old with yummy baby cheeks to kiss. When she was even younger her hair used to stand up straight on her head. Haha. I agree with my mother that she looks sort of like a Japanese doll. 
:: I mentioned about my friend Eky. He did me a favor and picked me up from Big Sound Festival (I can't believe it's already a month away from that concert). He joined a theater club in his university. And in return of the favor, he just want me to go see their performance on Saturday night. It's almost 2 in the morning, so yeah, I'm going to see it tonight! I'm going to see it with Dini. Been a long time since we hang out. I was hoping that more of my best friends could go but there are no other tickets left. However, I'm pretty excited about it! 
:: And on Sunday, we're gonna visit my nephew. 

What are you smiling about? :)

Out of F o c u s

untitled untitleduntitled untitled untitledHello, June! How's your June so far, guys? Some of you are mostly excited for the summer, I think. But we've been experiencing some gloomy weather the past few days here. Not that I'm complaining though. Recently, my autofocus censor on my camera has been taking more time than usual. I’m not a really patient kind of person and I don’t want to lose the moment, so I changed the focus mode to manual. I thought that I had the picture with a pretty clear focus… wrong. It was blurry and that’s when I started to worry about my sight. I never get my eyes checked. And wearing a pair of glasses sounds cool to me, but I’d rather not having to wear them every single day, you know? So anyway, I check on Google on what could possibly go wrong about my camera and I got into conclusion that there might be some dust on the AF censor (underneath the mirror in the camera’s body?). I’ve tried to clean it with a bulb blower and it seems like the AF finally able to select some points but still needs more time than usual to do so. I think I’m gonna have to clean it more thoroughly once again. Or ask for some help. If you find some of these photos are a bit blurry and wondering why, please read this paragraph again.

I took these photos at my aunt’s. One of my favorite thing from their place is the ridiculous amount of space in their front yard and backyard. There’s not much in there but I just love it, compared to the limited space we have at home, and I love to imagine having such a huge space of backyard like that for my future home. Also, in the backyard, their neighbor’s avocado tree has started to bear fruits and a bunch of them are overhanging the backyard. Man. I love avocado! Too bad those ones belong to their neighbors... haha. So good to hang out with Naya again! She was always looking for me. I asked her to pose for me and this photo below is what I got.

not mine

I feel really unproductive these past two weeks. But somehow I finally submit the draft of my internship report which needs a lot of touch up and I bought a book about the Ottoman Empire. I’m usually a not-so-slow kind of reader but with this book I’m gonna need more time. And already I’m longing for a lighter book! Haha. Then I watched two movies last week, which are Fast and Furious 6 and Now You See Me. Some action sequence in Fast 6 made me shake my head in disbelief as they’re a bit exaggerated. I also shake my head looking at Dwayne Johnson. Did he gain more muscles or was it just because he’s wearing tight clothes? He’s huge! And despite of all the exaggerations,  I like it because it’s really entertaining. There’s also an Indonesian actor in this movie. So proud of him. And Now You See Me got us fooled with the plot twists. Good list of actors in the cast, but only a few are really explored.

love this photo

Kylie recommended this band He’s My Brother, She’s My Sister. I’ve listened to some of their songs and watch some of their videos. Must admit that the first video I watched was Lazy Daze because of the face painting! Haha. And this is the song that’s stuck in my head. The drummer is really cool. And they somehow remind me to... Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros? I’ve been trying to whistle the intro of their song, Home, but so far it’s no success...
