The City That Has It All






Paris. People say it's the city of lights. The place for lovers. The most romantic city ever. The fashion capital of the world. The home of croissants. It's one city that makes me scream 'OH MY GOD I WANNA GO THERE!!!' It's an old city filled with classical buildings. Museums and statues all over the town. Like Eiffel Tower. Or the Louvre, where you can find that famous Mona Lisa painting. This city is rich of its art, beauty, and architecture.

I want to sit outside the cafe on the street. I want to walk around its beautiful park and sit on the bench when I get tired. I wanna go to the top of Eiffel Tower and see Paris from above. I wanna see those street musicians and artist, and go to that famous Opera Garnier. I wanna hop on a boat of the Seine River and feel the windy air. I wanna see that historical Arc de Triomphe. Go to one of the oldest cathedral and most gothic architecture, Notre Dame Cathedral.

Oh Paris. I hope someday I will be able to see you with my very own eyes!

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?).
