Smile, and the whole world will smile with you

Bukan karena hidup bahagia maka kamu tersenyum. Tetapi karena kamu tersenyum, hidup akan menjadi bahagia.
Bukan karena semua orang bersahabat maka kamu tersenyum. Tetapi karena kamu tersenyum, semua orang menjadi bersahabat.
Bukan karena pekerjaanmu menyenangkan maka kamu tersenyum. Tetapi karena kamu tersenyum, pekerjaan menjadi menyenangkan.
Bukan karena keluarga harmonis kamu tersenyum. Tetapi karena kamu tersenyum, keluargamu menjadi harmonis.
Bukan dunia yang menciptakan senyuman, melainkan senyuman yang menciptakan dunia.

The Wizard of Oz

I bet most people have already heard about this movie. But have they actually watch it? Well I actually have heard about this movie since like forever, but it was just yesterday when I actually watched it.


The Wizard of Oz is an American classic musical movie which was released on 1939. It's a story about a farmgirl named Dorothy who lived in Kansas with her aunt Em, Uncle Henry, and a dog named Toto. One day she ran away because the sheriff in her town wanted to take Toto away. But then he met a fortune teller who told her that aunt Em was sick. So she went back home. But on her way back, there was a twister. When she finally arrived at home, she couldn't meet her aunt and uncle immediately because they were already in the storm cellar (or something like that. I dont really know what's its name :p) so she entered the house. Then she got unconscious. When she woke up, she found herself on the magic Land of Oz.

Then here's the story begin. She met Gelda, the Good Witch of the North. Gelda told her that Dorothy just killed the Wicked Witch of the East, and the Wicked Witch of the West is now angry. Dorothy was so sad. All she wanted to do was come back home. Then the good witch told her to go to Emerald City and find this mysterious Wizard of Oz who could granted her wish. She told her to just follow the yellow brick road.

On her way to the Emerald City, she met a Scarecrow who was hoping he could have a brain, a Tin Man who was really longing for a heart, and a Lion who really wanted to have the courage. So they had this journey. Ooh and don't forget that the Wicked Witch of The West was trying to kill Dorothy.

What I like about this movie is because first, it's classic. And it's musical. Then, this story showed that that there's no place like home. Ooh and the scenes taken at the farm were filmed in black and white then colored in sepia tone. While the scenes taken at the Land of Oz were technicolor.

Oke maybe you don't understand about what I said. Sorry I'm not a good reviewer :p. Anyway, just watch this movie! It is definitely a great movie (if not how could it be so popular right?).

Sometimes Tomorrow Has To Start Today

Who do you want to be when you grow up? A doctor maybe? Or a lawyer? And what are you doing now? Laying on the couch and think you have nothing else to do beside surfing the internet? Now look at the title of your tabs. What are they? If what you see are only tumblr, twitter, some bands' myspace profiles, and so on, then you're as dead as me now. I'm actually writing this as a note to myself.

In order to make your wishes come true, you have to start making it happen today. You can't just sit down and hoping that tomorrow you'll become a president. You have to stand up now and start giving a damn about what's going on in your country. You want to be a doctor, and everytime you see that super thick and big biology book, you'd say 'Naah I'm not going to study now. I still have time' ? No no you can't be like that. You have to start fighting your laziness and get your ass off of the couch.

No one will grant your wishes (unless you have a magic lamp with a genie inside :p) You better make it happen. Starting now!

I've been a dreamer for a long time, but I never really have the spirit to make my dreams come true. I still dont do what I have to do, even for the simplest of things. I'm not proud of it, of course. I'm sick of it. I want to change. But everytime I think about it, I'd say 'oh yeah I'm gonna change. Today? Or tomorrow? Well tomorrow it is.' and dang, i haven't changed yet. But now I'm saying this to myself, sometimes tomorrow has to start today.

P.S : That line I used as the title is a quote from the book 'A Book of Tomorrow' I honestly has only read the first chapter haha :p But it was good. ;)
