Lately I have no idea what to write on my blog. I just love to pick some quotes from book, song or movie.
Well, book I have read at this moment is Eat, Pray and Love by Elizabeth Gilbert.
It’s about the author’s journey to Italia, India, and Indonesia. And she found her love in Indonesia, that is what makes me interested with the book.
In this memoir, Elizabeth Gilbert is having a major mental breakdown and panic attack. She wants out of her marriage, has no desire to have kids and basically spends every night crying on her bathroom floor, to which I thought, eeewwww, that’s really gross. Why the bathroom floor? So after her bitter divorce, heartbroken with the man she had an affair with, and deeply depressed she decides to drop everything and sets out to “find herself”. She decides that this can be done by taking a year off from life and simply traveling! Now this is where I got really jealous. What fun! To have the time, money, and resources to just travel. I haven’t been anywhere! Okay, done now, let’s move on.
So she sets out to discover pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and balance between the two in Indonesia. And it didn’t hurt that her publishers had already offered her a book deal about her experiences before she left, which leaves me to beg the question: did the book come out of her experiences or did she create her experiences to write this book ? Makes me wonder . . .

Tidak seperti tradisi di kebanyakan negara muslim dunia, tradisi di Indonesia lebih sedikit berbeda. Kalau di Mesir atau Arab Idul Adha atau hari raya kurban paling heboh dirayakan, tapi di Indonesia justru hari raya Idul Fitri yang dinanti-nanti. Di luar bulan Ramadhan, masjid paling ramai ketika masuk waktu maghrib. Sebaliknya ketika di bulan ramadhan, sholat magrib malah paling sepi. Yang paling rame didatangi orang justru adalah warung atau tempat makan. Tidak ada yang mau melewatkan buka puasa.
Setelah seharian penuh menahan lapar dan dahaga, segera setelah bedug magrib orang merayakan kemenangan dengan menyantap minuman seperti kolak, es buah, cendol terus diikuti dengan makanan lengkap seperti sate, soto, dll. Pokoknya yang enak-enak lah, kalaw kata pak Bondan mak nyuss !! Walhasil, anggaran ibu-ibu rumah tangga untuk menyiapkan menu buka puasa menjadi dua kali lipat dibandingkan hari-hari biasa.

The character animation is spot on, with each little hair looking real; all of these beasties look true-to-life, and the face-animators (and the voice actors, of course) do much more than the writers to give these animals personalities.
