It is like end of year already? How many days has it passed yet?
You know, ever since I got new job that 2.5 hours far from home (these days, you just couldn’t count distance by length, you count it by time), I appreciated time more than ever. And seeing many faces of people on my way home, meeting many amazing people on street, really make me realize that you are your own limit. Remember seeing people whines about how 24 hours is never going to be enough for a day. But seeing limits, seeing people surpassing limits, seeing how many things that you can accomplished for surpassing limits, do give me loud bangs. There is no such thing as ‘busy’, it is a word we made up to avoid other things, to not taking responsibility of anything else. It is understandable, but I know I won’t be using the word for quite long time from now. Because, I will be doing as many as I can do.
But first of all, here is my end-of-year lists that I want to share.
I super love this blog. You know how much I dig DIY, inspiration, or lifestyle blogs like my latest crush, Brit+Co. (I even have their apps on my phone). So, finding a local blog like this, is beyond amazing. Living Loving runs by two beautiful, creative, and talented housewives where they shared everything from some décor stuffs, recipes, DIY crafts, etc.
I am still feeling the same about television these days. Nothing good came up on TV. Then I came upon this http://remotivi.or.id/. The website is reviewing many programs on TV that is worth to watch and also programs that falls beyond the lines. Good articles. Oh, they are running on petition to ask KPI to ban commercial TV who broadcasts black political campaign.
Recently falling in love with Grouplove’s Never Trust a Happy Song. My personal favorite will be Cruel and Beautiful World, Chloe, Tongue Tied, Colours, and maybe the rest of the albums. Even though I’m not such a fan of their 2nd album, Spreading Rumours, this band is worth listened to. Plus, they make real good artwork.
And for the record, for anyone who hasn’t been listening to AM by Arctic Monkeys, you might lose a chance to hear gold. No matter how I missed the band old setlist and Alex Turner messy hair and awkward move, this gang are really a music prodigy.
As much as I love American Horror Story, Coven is by far my most favorite theme of all seasons. Witch. Voodoo. Witch hunter. It is so undeniably amazing. Jessica Lange teamed up with Academy Oscar veteran like Kathy Bates, Angelina Besset, even Patti LuPone. Not to mention, they play lots of Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac music. And personally for me, I like seeing Taissa Farmiga back on the show doing Frankensteiny version of Romeo & Juliet things with Evan Peters. But I do miss seeing such an absurd and powerful scene like Sister Jude singing The Name Game in Asylum.
Hank Green and Bernie Su are back with their latest adaptation of Jane Austen’s book—Emma Approved. From the book title Emma, Jane Austen said that she wanted to write a character that no one but herself will much like. But, like how the duo portrayed Lidya Bennet on their Emmy winning series—The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, I love this version of this 2.0 Emma. Stubborn, over confident, ambitious, yet lovable. See the video on, Pemberley Digital channel on YouTube and check this great article if you want to know more about the guys on Pemberley Digital.
Survivor: Blood vs Water finished its season couple of weeks ago. I really am not expecting anything since the disappointing reunion show at last season and the return of Redemption Island. Turns out, I’ve seen original games, great set of cast, exciting Tribal Council. My verdict, there should be at least three people who is definitely going to get back on the game. Even though there is still disappointment not to see any Survivor Auction or most favorite player being called out, it is still a really good season. Tyson Appostol played a lovable villainy games I’ve seen since Parvati taking the title back at Micronesia. Hello, Coconut Bandit.
Have a safe flight, everyone :)
