Confession of a Shopaholic Movie

It's kinda late to review this my fav movie type i watched last 2 weekend, but I'm eager to write about it since it's one of my fav novel.

I was very excited to see this movie.
I expected to see it as I imagined when I read the novel. You know, it's based on Sophie Kinsella's novel. I am a big fan of it and still reading the 4th novel now. But I had read the movie story before the film released and quite disappointed seeing that this movie is a compilation between the 1st n 2nd novels. hm..still wondering though!

Ok, I a bit disappointed because there's too many story changed and cut! For example, they change the setting. It should be in London and NY instead of only NY. But I'm still in love with it heheheh even though many people said this movie isn't suitable to be released nowaday, when the world is in economic crisis, for me, I take it as an entertainment in the middle of our crisis. I can live for a while in my dream-world of shopping hahaha The story is very funny, relaxing my mind which full of designer labels...dreaming...dreaming...dreaming.... :P

At first I thought the actress does not suit well to the character, but I'm wrong. I really like Isla Fisher as Rebecca Bloomwood. She is cute, fabulous fashionista, and really fit the character
even though her British accent is not really heard. From many aspects, she can be a true Becky Bloomwood in the novel with all her silliness in order to do her biggest problem: SHOPPING..!!

Kinsella's ROCK!!!...

a blessed phase of life, byebye jobless group ;')

hi hi hellooow..finally, yesterday i have signed a contract with a company based on Spore (no need to mention the name of the company, tho) ;) It means, bye bye jobless group! hehehe

Everything is beautiful in His time^^ yeps, agree with that!! I'll tell you the story. As I wrote in my blog before, I failed for being a SIA stewardess. This was really hurt me. I asked God, "why?" and didn't understand, but now I know the answer, it's GREAT!!! back, a month later (Dec 2008), the same SIA agency called me n offered me another more interesting job, based on Spore, too. So I came for an interview n I passed. Then another day, I continued with another user interview from both Spore and Indo company branches, n I passed again..thank GOd, only 2 persons instead of 10 from the final interview, accepted. I did all the requirements n patiently waiting for further information which came soooo loooonnggg! They once informed me in Jan '09 that I will start working in Spore on May 1, 2009. So, before that, I have to do several training in town, 2 months for company training in Jakarta's stores, 1 month in SQCentre Indonesia's.

I was quite impatient when entering this March n still no news from them, but I still praying hard n trying to wait patiently. THADAAA..my patience brings me luck. Last Tue, she called me n invited me to come n sign the contract, also cancel the indo training part (will straightly have Spore training) :D got it!!

God is really good to me. I do believe He'll give the best for me in His time, and He does! (seeing 2 of my friends in pre-SIA stewardess in the same batch with me, they got the hold on position recently because of the economic recession, after waiting almost 3 months without notification at all). Also, considering I have already submitted my resignation of my part-time teaching job at the end of this March term before I got this job. Firstly, I thought I will be jobless for some time, u know, it's hard to get a job recently due to the global crisis, but fortunately, NO.

Now, the feeling part. I am in complicated feeling: very happy and real excited =)) yet a bit sad and really scareddd :'((... why?
- happy & excited part:
1. I get a job...YAYYY!!! no more jobless group hihi (accomplished my 2009 wishes lists no. 1)
2. I get one of my dream job, in a world-class fashion retail :P (can be classified to wishes lists no.1)
3. It's a job abroad, in Singapore..hey!
meaning, I'll livee abroaaadddd soon...hihihi =S (accomplished my wishes lists no. 7)
4. I reach my expected salary as in Rp but not yet in SGD (accomplished my wishes lists no. 2)..even much much better than my Rupiah's target income hahaha but don't count it..start to think in SGD, Singapore is in the list of top ten most expensive countries in the world :'(
5. I will have a new different phase-life lots of new experiences, good and bad!..

- sad & scared part:
1. I only have time in Jkt for about 1 month from now. times flies!
2. I have to live alone, without my beloved family, bf, n friends :'(( (i never live separately from my fam, esp my mom before).
3. I am not a very health person, so scared if i'm sick n not having my mom besides me :(
4. I'm afraid something bad happen to my beloved in Indonesia or even to me there..*sigh* God will take care of us, tho!
5. I have to face all the culture-shock, adapt to a new situation, new friends, daily life n working life, ALL BY MYSELF..!!!
6. last but not least, i can't cook! heheehe (bisa2 bankrupt klo mkn diluar terus.. ;pp)

This moment strengthen my faith and just be patient. God isn't finished with me yet!. Trials can make life seem not worth living. Focusing on ourselves can lead to despair. But putting our trust in God gives us entirely different perspective. As long as we live in this world, we can be certain that our all-sufficient God will sustain us.

Yeah..that's my newest story,,it's enough for this time..now I'm going to prepare myself to teach my students. Thatha everyone...

Top 10 True Love Quotes

True love begins when nothing is looked for in return.
-Antoine de Saint-Exupery-

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
-Lao Tzu-

Love is energy: it can neither be created nor destroyed. It just is and and always will be, giving meaning to life and direction to goodness... Love will never die!
-Bryce Courtney-

Sometimes we let affection, go unspoken.
Sometimes we let our love, go unexpressed.
Sometimes we can't find words to tell our feelings,
especially towards those we love the best.
-anonymous-

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes.
Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers' tears.
What is it else?
A madness most discreet,
a choking gall and a preserving sweet.
-William Shakespeare-

I could never love where I could not respect.
-Charlotte Elizabeth Aisse-

Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings, he comes quickly and flies away the same.
-Voltaire-

True love is a discipline in which each divines the secret self of the other and refuses to believe in the mere daily self.
-William Butler Yeats-

When you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be.
-Leo Tolstoy-

Love is something eternal; the aspect may change but not the essence.
-Jeff Zinner-
