The Devil Wears Prada




The Devil Wears Prada
Director : David Frankel
Cast : Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep


Adapted from a chicklit written by Lauren Weisberger, this is a hilarious comedy you don't want to miss.

When we said that we don't have a choice, basically we are just not ready for the consequences.

Andy Sachs is a young woman fresh graduated from college who wants to be a journalist. Her first job is hired as the second assistant to Miranda Priestly, a fabulous success devilish editor in a fashion magazine named Runaway. Nothing but fashion matters in Runaway. Despite of her dream, the job is merely full of stupid things to do such as finding Harry Potter unpublished manuscript for Miranda's twin daughters, and preparing Miranda's coffee with exact temperature. Andy try to survive since people say that million girls would die for this job and she basically doesn't have any other choice.

From a plain girl with number 6 size, Andy changed herself to a beautiful-stylish young woman with bright future in career. On the contrary, she gets trouble with her boyfriend, her old friends, and her family who couldn't understand such a big change in herself.

Though this film is a lightweight stuff, it's entertaining from beginning to the end. Meryl Streep plays in her highest excellence as an ambitious woman. Eventhough Anne Hathaway's acting as Andy is not superb and the character is typical, she is a natural choice for this part. Supported by glamorous costume design, I bet that you will be entertained during the play.

Finally, all I can say is, go to the movie, pick this film, buy some popcorn, and enjoy it :)

Rediscover childhood ...

When Iis asked whether I'd like to join a traditional Indonesian dancing ~ Balinese, I was hesitated. Last time I did Balinese dance was in Nyoman Gunarsa's Sanggar Dewata around 1989. I started dancing Balinese at age 4 when I saw my older cousins dancing, so I told my mom that I wanted to dance. Wrong decision :p! My mom enjoyed bringing me to the dance club, more than I enjoy dancing, and I was stuck for more than 6 years :p I knew that I wasn't talented, but she just didn't let me quit no matter how much I begged, hahaha. I finally quit because I needed to study more to prepare for Ebtanas (I know, I know it's such a lame excuse, hehehe) . Never crossed my mind that I would dance again. First because I didn't enjoy it, second because I am not talented. When finally I say yes, I'll come, I thought it would be the first and last time :) But I was wrong. It's fun and I enjoy it. This time is different because my mom doesn't tell me to do the dancing...

Turned out alright

Last week everything turned out alright :) Jumat siang, dengan restu teman2 kantor :p gw cabut dari kantor, walaupun area leader gw ngajakin meeting buat next recipe, tapi dia bilang "Go ahead and don't worry about the meeting, you better get your license today :p" . Jam 12.30an, gw dijemput sama orang dari driving school, dan ngebutlah kita ke DMV Norristown ngejar ujian jam 2 siang. Gw deg2an banget, apalagi karena udah gagal 1x. Kalau gw fail lagi, means that I screw everything up. Karena in the next four weeks para tebengan bakalan cabut ke site di Oregon (gak mungkin kan gw jalan 2 mile ke kantor), kontrak apartment gw habis akhir September dan gw harus cari apartment baru, dan ada chance gw bakalan dikirim ke Oregon juga (walaupun bukan shift pertama). Tapi above it all, hidup tergantung sama orang lain itu sucks. Gw gak bisa bebas ke mana-mana, gak bisa cari kegiatan dan temen2 sendiri (temennya ya cuman temen dari temen gw), gak ada social life sama sekali. Nyampe...
