Upcoming September

Some healthy suggestions for the upcoming September.

Joss Whedon’s Cabin in The Woods (2011) is surprisingly fun! It beats up thriller genre movie upside down, ripping it into pieces. A fresh, deep, thriller-slash-science-fiction-slash-black-comedy movie you need for the weekend getaway.

If you happen to know the awesome Darren Criss, you probably know A Very Potter Musical. As Zac Efron might say, “At Hogwarts, we’re all in this together”. Sure appealing :))

As cheesy as Jane by Design kicks in, I’m sure disappointed that the show has been canceled for the 2^nd season. It’s kind of surprise since Jane by Design would be a perfect fit for Cosmo Girl reader :P If you happen to want a light comedy series in Devil Wears Prada-esque, this is might be a perfect choice. Gorgeous dress(es) and great indie playlist(s) might also add the excitement (my favorite so far would be Winter Air by Annasay).

Pokemon + Tim Burton = awesomeness. Love, love, love. The credit goes to Vaughn Pinpin.

And you might want to check out B.yond W.rds, a side project by the talented Puty. She writes in beautiful lines and takes amazing B&W pictures. It always amazes me how people could produces such beauty.

Though London 2012 is officially over, there must be some spaces left to see the gorgeous photos from last Olympic events. Here’s one of my favorite from Rhythmic Gymnastics.

Feeling bored? Try Doodle God, addicting~. Sure it is a predictable game, but you won’t get Kahlil Gibran’s quotes or even non sense proverb in other games.

The Adventure Project. I’ve been in love with the organization and the lovely Becky Straw (another girl crush and blog struck :D) for a long time ago. I really do share the same philosophies as the fellow in The Adventure Project. In order to really create a sustainable change and tackle poverty, we have to change the way we give. We have to create jobs. The proverb was right “teach a man how to fish, and you have fed him for a lifetime”. By giving the tools and resources, they can generate income and take care of their own family. I love the campaign and how they engage to their stakeholder.

The Jakarta Globe, one of English daily newspaper focusing in Jakarta region, also started a few actions for good. Count Me In gathers some of non-profit social organizations in greater Jakarta and help them spread the cause. So, there will be no more ‘I want to help but don’t know where to start’ kind of people. They connect you with the most inspiring social organizations and giving you a chance to volunteer on various social events. They also send frequent newsletter about upcoming events and how to participate in it. Some of the organizations are the famous Sahabat Anak (a non-profit organization that provides education and children’s rights advocacy to encourage Jakarta’s street children), Taman Bacaan Pelangi (a social project to establish children’s libraries in remote areas of eastern Indonesia), Yayasan Hidung Merah (an arts and education program to empower Indonesia’s underprivileged youth through the use of circus and other arts), etc.

As another beautiful month passed, what change have you made to yourself?
