Getting my Hands on Film Camera

In attempts to slow_myself_down_away_from_digital_life, I am getting my hands on film camera. Yes, the kind of camera where you need to put the film roll in and then start snapping. If you are lucky, the pictures will turn up good but if not then we let the fate decide. This is not my first rodeo on using film camera, but it definitely the first ever to buy the film and develop it using my own money. It is not cheap, which I know.  What can I say, it's an expensive hobby.  I used my first film roll to take photos of my favorite people. So it has more human than random pictures. It was on family event. After the last shot, I wanted to develop it before I flew to Bali but they had no lab. Luckily we have the lab in Bali. I developed and scanned the film in Ojisanfilmlab Bali. They're just a google away. They sell the roll as well. I had to tell the TSA to do the hand checking rather putting it through the scanner. They understood.  Cimol hides himself in his favorite spot ...

[Movie review] Copy of my mind

Akhir bulan tiba-tiba keinget kalau punya janji nonton bareng si kembaran. Ada satu film Indonesia yg udah dapet 3 penghargaan diluar negeri. Jadi yaa oke lah, coba deh nonton ini. Copy of my mind.

Diperankan Chico Jericho dan Tara Basro. Durasinya lama menurutku sih, karena nonton selama 2 jam dari jam 14.25 sampai jam 16.25. A film by Joko Anwar menceritakan tentang si Alek pembuat subtitle film bajakan dan si Sari yg kerja di salon. Karena si Sari yg doyan banget nonton film, jadilah dia suka beli film bajakan yg akhirnya ngebuat mereka berdua terlibat seklumit kisah ranjang.

Menurut sinopsis, film ini nyeritain tentang mereka berdua yg kemudian nemuin video anggota dewan atau apalah itu namanya sama mafia hukum diskusi tentang suap menyuap untuk sesuatu. Videonya ditemuin Sari di sel tahanan si Ibu Mirna, mafia hukum ini. Yg bikin saya heran nih, di sel tahanan khusus itu Ibu Mirna punya ruangan lebih mirip seperti kos-kos an daripada penjara pada umumnya. Ruang kamar yg memiliki kamar mandi dalam, difasilitasi tv dan perangkatnya, lengkap dah bahkan sampai facial aja bisa tiap minggu. Canggih kan. Saya jadi mikir, masa iya sih ada sel tahanan macem begini di penjara2??? Kok mereka enak banget ya? Bukannya tahanan harusnya tujuannya bikin mereka sengsara dan tobat?? Entahlah, bukan ahlinya..

Ketika melihat film ini, saya mikir, ini film lamaaaaa banget. Lama di pencitraan Alek dan Sari ini. Kesannya jadi bertele-tele begitu. Membuang banyak waktu pada mereka berdua. Kecuali kalau memang sutradara menginginkan fokusnya pada sejoli ini. Karena kasus yg soal video suap menyuap tadi hanya berlangsung sekitar 30menit akhir dan endingnya pun menurut saya dan teman saya yg nonton itu masih sedikit gantung. Atau memang dibikin begitu ya??

Ehh iya... ada adegan ranjangnya juga yg nggak disensor. Nggak keliatan sihhh tapi menurut saya, itu tumben-tumbenan film indonesia bisa ada adegan ranjang begitu ya? Sempet mikir tapi daripada mikir ya mndin dinikmati aja kali yaaa... FYI badannya Chico Jeriko itu bagus juga ternyta ya hahaha

Film ini benar-benar ambil seting Jakarta yg nyempiiiillll banget. Jadi ingat kos yg sempat saya tinggali selama 2 hari di Jakarta. Benar-benar orang Jakarta yg keliatan sebenernya. Bukan Jakarta yg dilihat sebagai kaum parlente.

Yang saya suka dari film ini, settingnya. Setingnya benar-benar alami kehidupan sehari-hari dengan macetnya Jakarta, ruwetnya Jakarta, dan benar-benar kehidupan 'penguasa'yg jika diusik bisa menyewa pembunuh bayaran. Ok thats a life yg bener-bener nyata menurut sudut pandang saya sebagai penonton.

Overall, film ini menurut kacamata saya cukup bagus meskipun endingnya gantung. Karakter Alek itu bener-bener cowo jantan, dan Sari itu cewe yg cukup tegar di kerasnya Jakarta. Ngebayangin hidup sendirian di Jakarta ala film itu, mungkin saya nggak bakal sanggup.

Ok, I think this is an ok movie. It must be a very good movie since this movie got 3 awards abroad. Kalau penasaran, ya nonton sana ya.. ini kan hanya dari sudut pandang saya. So yea, for me it is an ok movie. Yang pasti Chico Jeriko nya ganteng. Udah itu pasti dah hahaha

Taking a Train from Moscow City to Yaroslavky

walking to the wagon We chose deliberately in the winter to travel from Moscow to Yaroslavsky. In my defense, we kinda had to use the holiday a little bit. If we're waiting for the good weather, it probably not gonna happen for 3 months and then nothing again. So this trip was taken on February 2026. So we've decided to take a few days off going from Moscow to half of the golden ring. The name ring, means literally ring. Refers to a few cities that used to be very important in the past. Starting from Moscow city (where which we're coming from, technically). I have to mention the cities here anyway; Sergiyev Posad, Pereslavl Zalessky, Rostov Veliky, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Vladimir, and Suzdal. there will be info about the train  We took the train trip from Moscow. I would say it's the "normal type" of train. So we sat next to each other. Two seaters next to each other. I think my husband took the non-economy one. He booked the train from the app, tutu. T...

Rough Guide to Bali

Penjor "Hey I am coming to Bali, can you recommend me things to do?" I got that question a lot. I get it, I live in Bali so people would think that I master everything about Bali. Well... 50:50. I happened to travel around Bali since 2017. So it wasn't wrong to assume me knowing Bali. But I am also a lazy traveler so I don't always do many things in one place.  That is why we will call this a rough guide to Bali.  First thing first, define your style of traveling. Because we all know that Bali is an island. Not a city. So it is quite big, you know. You can not explore all of it in two weeks. Well you might be able to do so, but probably not immersing enough of it.  So... what is your style of traveling? Bali offers you some cultures, quiet normal life, party hotspots, quiet beaches, busy beaches, temples, and so on.  Mt Batur West part of Bali (Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta) If you enjoy partying, you might want to spend your time more in the west part of Bali like Canggu, ...
