better be late than never.. ;p


hi there pals! just watched Avatar this afternoon with my cousin (yayaya. i know it's kinda late. but it's better be late than never, aite?) well, i admit that the movie was geniously awesome! i love almost all parts of its movie. no wonder if the movie and the director won many awards. :) and the other thing that makes me like the movie so much is because there's a message for people to treat forest with a nice attitude. yea i love the way they sound the message. i give 9 for the movie!

oh btw, here's a short review about Avatar:


In 2154, the RDA corporation is mining Pandora, a lush, Earth-like moon of the planet Polyphemus, in the Alpha Centauri star system. Parker Selfridge (Giovanni Ribisi) heads the mining operation, which employs private military contractors (mainly former Marines) for security. The corporation intends to exploit Pandora's reserves of a valuable mineral called unobtanium. Pandora is inhabited by the Na'vi, a ten-foot-tall blue-skinned species of sapient humanoids. The Na'vi live in harmony with nature, worshiping a mother goddess called Eywa.

Pandora's atmosphere is toxic to humans, forcing them to use breathing masks. Attempting to improve relations with the natives and learn about Pandora's biology, scientists grow Na'vi-human hybrids called avatars, controlled by genetically matched, mentally linked humans. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a paraplegic former Marine, replaces his murdered twin brother, a scientist trained to be an avatar operator. Dr. Grace Augustine (Sigourney Weaver), head of the Avatar Program, considers Sully an inadequate replacement for his brother and assigns him as a bodyguard.

In their avatar forms, Augustine, biologist Norm Spellman (Joel David Moore) and Jake leave the base to take biological samples and reestablish peaceful relations with the Na'vi. A predator attacks them and Jake becomes separated and lost. Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), a female Na'vi, rescues him, bringing him to Hometree, which is inhabited by her clan, the Omaticaya. Neytiri's mother Mo'at (C. C. H. Pounder), the clan's shaman, shows interest in the warrior "Dream-walker" and instructs her daughter to teach Jake their ways. Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang), leader of the security forces, enlists Jake to bring him intelligence about the natives that could help RDA convince the Na'vi to leave Hometree so the company can mine the unobtanium that lies beneath it. He promises Jake that he will help him obtain the treatment needed to restore his legs.

Jake delivers information to Quaritch, but Augustine becomes suspicious and relocates herself, Jake and Norm to a remote outpost with avatar link units. Over three months, Jake grows close to Neytiri and the Omaticaya, eventually rejecting RDA's agenda. He is initiated into the Omaticaya, and he and Neytiri choose each other as mates. Jake reveals his change of allegiance when he disables a bulldozer as it destroys the tribe's Tree of Voices. Quaritch presents Selfridge with Jake's video diary, in which Jake admits that the Omaticaya will never abandon Hometree. Selfridge orders Hometree destroyed.

Augustine argues that the destruction of Hometree could affect the bio-botanical neural network that Pandoran organisms are connected to, and Selfridge gives Jake and Augustine one hour to convince the Na'vi to leave Hometree. Jake reveals his original mission to the Omaticaya, and Neytiri accuses him of betrayal. Jake and Augustine's avatars are taken captive. Quaritch's forces destroy Hometree, killing Neytiri's father, the clan chief Eytucan (Wes Studi), and many others. Jake, Augustine and Norm are imprisoned. Trudy Chacón (Michelle Rodriguez), a security force pilot disgusted with Quaritch's methods, breaks them out and flies them to the outpost, which they relocate. During the escape Quaritch shoots Augustine, seriously wounding her.

To regain the Omaticaya's trust, Jake tames a Toruk, a powerful flying beast that only five Na'vi have ever tamed. Jake finds the Omaticaya at the sacred Tree of Souls and pleads with Mo'at to heal Augustine. The clan attempts to transfer Grace from her dying human body into her avatar with the aid of the Tree, but she succumbs to her injuries before the transfer is complete. Mo'at declares that "she is with Eywa now".

With the assistance of Neytiri and Tsu'Tey (Laz Alonso), the new leader of the Omaticaya, Jake assembles over two thousand Na'vi to repel the humans. Jake prays to Eywa, via neural connection to the Tree of Souls, to intercede on behalf of the Na'vi in the coming battle. Quaritch notes the mobilization of the Na'vi clans and convinces Selfridge to authorize a preemptive strike on the Tree of Souls. Because it is a center of Na'vi religion and culture, its destruction would leave the Na'vi too demoralized to resist further encroachment.

As the security forces attack, the Na'vi retaliate but suffer heavy casualties, including Tsu'Tey and Trudy. Suddenly, the Pandoran wildlife joins the attack on the corporation's forces, overwhelming them, an event Neytiri interprets as Eywa answering Jake's prayer. Jake destroys the bomber before it can reach the Tree of Souls. Quaritch finds the avatar link unit where Jake's human body is located and attacks it, exposing Jake to Pandora's atmosphere. Neytiri kills Quaritch and saves Jake. With the attack repelled, Neytiri and Jake reaffirm their love as she sees his human body for the first time.

Selfridge and the remaining corporate personnel are expelled from Pandora, while Jake, Norm, and other scientists are allowed to remain. Jake is seen wearing the insignia of the Omaticaya leader. The clan performs the ritual that permanently transfers Jake from his human body into his Na'vi avatar.

Almost late post.

Hey pals, I know it’s kinda late if I just started to talk about new year’s eve. But, better be late than never rite? Hihihi. How was your new year celebration, pals? Mine was great : ) although I just celebrated it by having some bbq things in Paunchy Monster’s house, not attending huge party like everybody else did but it was really fun! Me, Paunchy Monster, Mas Nanda, Mas Wawan, Mba Galih, Kipot, Mbahe, Dikri and Dani were having a great time. We roasted many sausages, meatballs, shrimps, corns, and also vegetables and cassavas (can’t you imagine? We used many things that we can eat. Hihi). We spent our time by watching tv. Surprisingly, there’s a full moon in the middle of the night and I suddenly feel that this year will be an awesome year! Amien. :) and here is my new year’s resolution. Hope I can reach it all. Wish me luck, pals! And don’t forget to share your wish list too.. I’ll be in high level of happiness if you want to share it.. :D


cheerios.

Social Campaign

Hey Pals, I’m back. Sorry for not updating this blog for several times. Actually I wasn’t so busy last week. But say hi to my friend named laziness. He successfully made me don’t wanna get my ass off from the bed. :( Yeah I just spent my day with tweeting while I’m lying on my bed or just went out with my boyfriend after having our class. Talking about tweeting, yaa I’ve been addicted to twitter since few months ago and honestly I want to reduce it because it makes me more extravagant (both money and battery side). I surely want to do it but I just can’t get my hands off from my cellphone! Fyuuh. And talking about my boyfriend, I just found a new nickname for him --> Paunchy Monster. Hihihi. Yayaya, his tummy is now puffed up! ;P

Oh well dear, now I want to share something. My lecturer from Social Campaign subject gave my class some assignment to do and it’s been very interesting
. He told that we have to create a campaign which concern to social section. Me and some of my friend decided to make a campaign titled ‘pick a tv show for your kids intelligently’ and also decided to named our group ‘Credible’ abbreviation from ‘Creative and Communication Blended’ . We chose students from 3rd grade elementary school as a target audience. We came to school and gave some information to them about how to pick an educative tv show. We also talked to their parents in Report Card Day. We gave the parents some module and information about how important to accompanying their children while they watch the tv. I was so nervous because this is my first experience. But then it was really fun! The children were so excited to follow our instructions and they were so cute.. although there were some kids who act lil bit annoying, but I admitted that they were such a brilliant kids! Love them :* and these are some
photos from our Social Campaign project..












behind the scene





Enjoy..
