Little Women was an important piece of art. I havent read the book, but many people said it describe the book quite well?
The importance of this life changing dialogue between Jo and Marmie was out of this world, it feels like someone just sums up your thoughts in the most accurate way about being a woman. How the society creates this mold to women and makes us feels trapped if we try to be something else.
And i love how marmie calls out Jo’s mixed up feeling about loneliness and love. And thank God, the universe forbid Jo to be that kind of person by making Laurie marry Amy.
It will be horrible to wanted to be with someone out of loneliness when that person was actually love you sincerely. That is evil, not fair.

One of the most heartbreaking lines in a movie
Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness was a great movie where all the characters matters, have development, well written and well made. Still follow Marvel formula and few bits fan service, but overall nicely done. I extremely love Wanda Vision and thrilled to see Scarlet Witch in this movie and happy with what they've done with the character. Great villain need great hero, Doctor Strange. From his profile to his personality was amazing. I really thankful that the writers did not make his character stupid with bad jokes or cheesy punchline. Everything was just right. Benedict and Elizabeth ate!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I lowkey thinks that this movie was made so that Stephen could say this to Christine
What a sad confession, i cried . . So embarrassing
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She is the star of the movie, fight me!
Elizabeth was and is crazy good, always delivering such right emotion
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Dynamic duo, another reason to watch this one
I love their friendship, seriously!
Tumblr media
Anyone saw this coming?
1 second and he dead. . My lovely professor X, i was so happy to see him, nearly screaming actually
Anyhow, from what we saw at the end of this movie and the post credit, third movie will be complicated and cool. I expected to see Loki actually because i think they will get connected in some way. And i also wanted to know whether America will be useful ? And god damn we will see Charlize Theron?! I'm so excited for that. I really love the concept of multiverse so next phase of Marvel will be easily my favorite :)
Tumblr media
Honorable mention. Finally moving on

FINLAND !
Early this year i finally flew to Finland for the first time !
I was not quite excited to be honest, because traveling in pandemic = complicated
Complicated preparations, a bit more expensive because there were many additions, for example PCR test, covid insurance, increased visa fee, and many unplanned cost happens
But every difficulties seems vanish the moment we landed, meet our family and experience Finland in winter. Extremely charming, even though its freezing, but so much fun
I am a bit teary when we landed LOL because seeing Finland in snow was beautiful, giving some strange feelings inside 
https://youtube.com/shorts/cTMQJY89Qlk?feature=share 
And then more excitement comes after seeing my family at the airport! I haven't seen them for like 10 years?! Crazy! but no tears, no, just smileee :) 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Extremely grateful to have them as family because they all are a beautiful people inside and out, they live here so they are as good as the local, so we can go around Helsinki comfortably, eat Indonesian food at home (and also smoke Salmon, Finland signature i guess? ) and be able to see its beauty even more, I'm so lucky!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
1 place which on my must go list was Helsinki Central Library Oodi,  Töölönlahdenkatu 4, 00100 Helsinki, Finland . Great place, extremely comfortable, has a lot of books collection, mostly in Finnish but they have books in English too. There was a cafe, which you can order tea (try the rooibos, yummm), coffee and snacks, there was a study room, meeting room (i guess?) and a hall which you can use for study, reading etc The public library was well made, you probably will never wish to go outside the whole day. Oh and they also have an amazing balcony, but it was closed back then because its winter, you’ll freeze to death :) Just when you think this place could not be any better, it has a small restaurant at the ground floor which you can have your little buffet there, and not so expensive, but i totally forgot about the price :P 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My family take me to eat at  Löyly,  Hernesaarenranta 4, 00150 Helsinki, Finland, its restaurant with sauna as well, btw, sauna was extremely popular in Finland, but since its winter and pandemic still there, the sauna closed temporarily, too bad, i want to try. They say, usually people will jump to the cold lake water then get into the sauna right away. Sounds freezing, but i would love to try someday. Aside from the sauna, the restaurant famous of its Salmon soup, which taste gooood, and even better if you eat it on winter day! If you watch latest season of Somebody Feed Phil in Helsinki, you can see this place in more detail, i just love this place sm.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The other day, we visit Porfo. Its a small town outside Helsinki, it took about 40 minutes by bus, and its sooo pretty. You can just walk the town and you can almost see all of it. Its a bit more freezing here btw. And more quite than Helsinki. But was so much fun just to stroll around this small charming town, peaceful with many charming buildings. I go there with mom, brother, cousins and aunty. Cold but warm, as i spend it with my closes circle :)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
https://youtube.com/shorts/vxwqIDmOmVk?feature=share
Heureka, Tiedepuisto 1, 01300 Vantaa, Finland also one of my must go list. Admission fee was euro 22/adult. Every time i saw my cousins visit the Science Centre made me curious what is the place like, so when i finally visit Helsinki i must experience it by myself. And it was more fun that what i expected. In here we can try our self many science facts, there also a mini escape room which was sooo much fun! we can play here all day, seriously. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Not far from Helsinki, there is a small land called Suomenlinna, we went there with boat, with euro 2,80/adult actually its the same cost also if you take bus or train. I need to praise their transportation line, because integrated, comfortable, on time, efficient and easy. Anyway this small land was even more quite than Porfo. But maybe because its winter. According to https://www.suomenlinna.fi/en/  Suomenlinna was inscribed into the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1991 to preserve it for future generations as an example of 18th century fortress architecture in Europe. There were a huge fortress who still stands strong and not changed at all. Some part of it was quite creepy lol And because the land near the water, its a extra windy, you will need extra layer of cloths before you put on your jacket because it was painfully freezing. But don't worry, if you need something warm, there were few cafe’s to rest before you go on to your adventure. There were not much things we can do here just walk and enjoy the scenery, but i fall in love deeply with the land. I cant explain why...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
After Finland, we had a chance to visit an amazing nearby, neighbor country, Estonia. According to Wikipedia, it is bordered to the north by the Gulf of Finland across from Finland, to the west by the Baltic Sea across from Sweden, to the south by Latvia, and to the east by Lake Peipus and Russia. We stroll around for 1 day in their beautiful lovely city Tallin :) Of all place that i said was my favorites, Tallin is the number 1 best thing i’ve ever visited so far! We took Ferry to go there it cost around euro 50/adult, round trip including antigen test. Usually will be cheaper because back then we still need to test. The Ferry was comfortable, 2 hours ++ inside it was a no problem at all. We go there in the morning and going back to Helsinki on the evening, on the same day :) I have always wanted to come to Tallin because it was the perfect definition of an old town. There were many old buildings that maybe 100 years old? but still strong and used well by the local, Tallin also have the oldest Pharmacy in Europe called The Raeapteek exist and still operating until today. Overall i really love all the surroundings, the buildings, also here was cheaper than Finland. In Helsinki we must spent minimum euro 10-13/adult to have a meal, in Tallin, Euro 5-8/adult we already got a very good reasonable meal. Unfortunately few shops/cafe were close due to pandemic. Still have fun though, so much! I think Tallin also famous for its Amber? because i saw many store that sells Amber. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Another thing that was surreal happens in Finland was when we visit Rovaniemi. The northern Finland where Santa Claus actually exist. Copied from Wikipedia, the city centre is situated about 6 kilometres (4 miles) south of the Arctic Circle and is between the hills of Ounasvaara and Korkalovaara, at the confluence of the river Kemijoki and its tributary, the Ounasjoki. 1 of many reasons we came to Finland was because my mother wish to see Aurora at least once in a lifetime. Which a bit of a gamble, because Aurora was not something you can predict. But what can we do but try? So we went there, with no expectation at all, surrounding by super freezing weather and not so much convenient transportation to see the Aurora. First plan was to visit Ounasvaara, a bit upper area to get a better chance to see it. The local suggest us to go there around 10pm until midnight, but right after we open the cottage door to went there, THE AURORA SHOW UP RIGHT ABOVE US EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT NORTH ENOUGH! We stay on Motelli Rovaniemi, and its a bit far from Ounasvaara. But apparently the sky was clear since the day before so its possible to see aurora, even from Helsinki (even though not as clear as what we saw in Rovaniemi). We feel blessed! so we decide to just enjoy the aurora from our stay, and get back inside to warm ourself because its crazy freezing. Anyway, seeing the aurora mad us all cried, all the guests not just us, even the reception lady said this thing never happen before. We are just very lucky. The aurora was beautiful, crazy, i cant describe with words about how beautiful it was. Its just different when you saw it with your own eyes. Just stunning. Then after back to reality, we just sleep and prepare to go back to Helsinki the next day. We decide to also visit the santa claus village because why not. It was okay, but nothing to make us promise to visit again :P But its fun though, we are stepping our feet on the artic circle! 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I stay in Helsinki until end of January. The last weeks there i just enjoy Helsinki, Kannelmäki to be exact, play around with my family, experiencing storms that only happens every 10 years, go to second hand shop which if you lucky you can got anything only 1 Euro, i got it when i visit UFF. There were many second hand shop and it has good quality things you need, you can visit Fida, Aino, etc We also visit the Fazer factory (and buy my fav Wiener Nougat, the best sweets in the whole world!) , see a lot of moomins, there were so many cute moomins that we want to brought home! I spend so much time with my family that i might not meet again for years after this, so every moment with them was precious. It was really fun to have them as a family, we share the same jokes, same brain cells, same interest, we go to play badminton together! The whole experience was amazing, i would want to comeback if the world healed later on. Finland = FUN ! Maybe i will comeback on summer next time :)

At sunset next year, A blooming spring
A midsummer night’s dream
Feeling fall, then winter’s snow
Four times a year, spring comes again
Goodbye now to my beloved young days
Our beautiful spring summer fall winter
“Four season with no reason.”
After the rain, instead of sadness comes a happy end
A seven-colored rainbow slanted like a sneer
Passed the seasons without maturing, I can’t mature (still)
Immature and long gone without maturing, Marchin’ Vivaldi
Tchaikovsky, greeting the seasons of today
Finally, the four at last
Boy looking over at the sky
Doing well throughout the four seasons Good-bye
Those who left and those who came
The world above our head
I’m leaving inspiration’s amazon
Burying all the trauma from past nights
A round-trip ship running, risking its life to start anew
I’m going to change more than before
A good person more and more
A better person more and more
With the morning dew, burying my anger in the past
For Life
I miss the boy and girl who cried and laughed
I keep remembering those glorious and loving days
The seasons pass hopelessly as days go by
Going through our hearts by staining red and bruising blue
For the day, the moment that will come again someday
(For you)
Our beautiful spring summer fall winter
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
At sunset next year, A blooming spring
A midsummer night’s dream
Feeling fall, then winter’s snow
Spring summer fall winter

Time to leave this town
Now your dreams have all let you down
No one here will miss you now
Time to wakeup and look around
Used to be a lovely boy
Lovely boy
Lovely boy
Used to be a lovely boy
Turn away and turn our heads
Just a hopeless dreamer she said
Eyes of cloud and feet of lead
Find a shore that needs you instead
Used to be a lovely boy
Lovely boy
Lovely boy
Used to be a lovely boy
Time on your hands
World at your feet
No adventure left incomplete
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Find aplace where you can hide
From the love that holds you inside
Time so unkind
Like an old friend leaves you behind
Used to be a lovely boy
Lovely boy
Lovely boy
Used to be a lovely boy
Time on your hand

This is the much lost i can handle. I wish this is the last time, please.
Im praying for a better day in this uncertain times. Its like dooms day but slower. Its torture you in a way you couldn’t have imagine before. What an unfortunate life it is. But the one who survived need to go on, move on. Sounds very evil. All the guilt to be survived.
You who were gone will be forever our heartache. We will miss you to death. We wish you still here but that is just a dream i dreamed now. The sentence makes more sense now, there are dreams that cannot be and there are storms we cannot weather.
Lets meet somewhere in paradise when the time comes for all of us. You know we love you right?

TENET - DARK - THE KING ETERNAL MONARCH
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Just my 2 cents.
I think TENET is DARK + THE KING ETERNAL MONARCH in a nutshell. All three were different genre for sure, but all premises pretty much the same. The protagonist was like adam anyway. And the thing about the mysterious savior and an old phone reminds us of TKEM. Also all three were playing with space and time to save the world. Preventing dooms day to happen before everyone knew it was more like TKEM thought. I love this non linear storyline. Give me more!!

Subjects of the Kingdom, Citizens of the Republic, and (as always) Gentle Readers:
It’s time to get ridiculously specific and obsessy about a scene, and its costuming choices!
We’ll start with the costuming, b/c pretty pictures, and we’ll put the flailing and scene meta under the cut, to save your dash.
Tumblr media
Please, look–LOOK at these two idiots in love
They’re dressing like each other—across a parallel universe. Tae-Eul visits the bamboo forest in a black button down (with white buttons) and a salt-and-pepper coat that’s the perfect mirror of Looks Lee Gon has served up—the coat, especially, one of the last things she saw him in before he left last time. A lady wearing her knight’s colors.
Tumblr media
Salt-and-Pepper Coat. One of many Coat Looks served up by Pyeha.
Tumblr media
Oh, look–there’s an uncommon black button down oxford with white buttons! In a library! Going for the extra points, Tae-Eul manages to find one of these to wear, too!
Tumblr media
Did she notice the similarities on her own? Was it character-intentional?
[ASIDE: Possible Explanation: Lee Gon’s clothes that he bought in ROK have somehow made their way into Tae-Eul’s wardrobe, after all he didn’t take them back with him–BUT, even the Manpasikjeok doesn’t have enough mystical power to make clothes tailored to Lee Min Ho become wearable by Kim Go Eun and not swallow her shorter and far smaller frame whole. Also, this theory would not support the black oxford, as he was wearing it in the Kingdom.]
Oh, And here comes the King on Maximus—in a camel coat the perfect match for the coat Tae-Eul wore on her mind-blowing visit to the Kingdom. And he’s in a sweater that—au revoir subtlety—has literal SHACKLES on it. He’s a man chained to both his destiny and his position. Chains that are keeping him from staying here (in ROK) with his heart for Tae-Eul.
Tumblr media
Easier to see here in this shot upon his immediate return from the Bamboo Forest. Literal CHAINS around his Majesty’s heart.
Tumblr media
Who wore it better?
It’s not the first time we’ve seen this mirroring between them. When Tae-Eul visits the Kingdom, she has a matching camel-colored scarf (to her coat). 
She puts it with her belongings given to Court Lady Noh, and on her Day Out wears a grey one (I guess borrowed?) instead. She does ultimately wear her camel colored scarf home, but at the New Year’s sunrise with Prince Buyeong, we see the King has decided to not only acquire its twin, but that he’s even wearing it in the exact same style–a knight wearing his lady’s scarf. Silly stuffed lions aren’t the only matchey-matchey between these two.
[*honestly, I would have preferred if she had not worn her scarf back and if he had kept it for himself]
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Honestly, excellent for concealing hickeys. Don’t you deny it, Lee Gon.
Now, let’s talk about that scene. And by talk I mean obsess over endlessly and frighten the Netflix bean counters who keep track of when we rewind and how and what we rewatch…
Keep reading

THE KING: ETERNAL MONARCH EP 16, My Appreciation and How It Made Me Feel
JTE now back to Korea after the reset. You know i loved thought out small detail right? We can see the photo on JTE id card is back to the origin, no tied hair and navy jacket. Please see it.
Tumblr media
Everything was back in order, she lives in a same old world with a same old activities but where Gon and KSJ doesnt exist. This was so heartbreaking. Esp when she remembers how Gon was always there to come to her.
Tumblr media
And next we got a glimpse of her team leader story about his loneliness. Many people think this scene was unnecessary but since the writer wants to make closure for everyone she need to made this. Also to clear some misunderstanding. Because for me i thought he is one of LR minion before 🤣 and also maybe to show that our leads live in a world full of people who practice kindness. Hence why all of them has this stoic quality. Im fine though. They are kind of cute.
Tumblr media
Also the side effect of the reset was JTE see Gon doppelganger on the street walking pass through her just like that.
And also they shows us Gon WAS ON THE WAY TO CROSS ALL UNIVERSE TO SEE JTE. But since there are so many universe he need to open many door before finding his way to her. I can say, JEONG TAE RA was mood! Im a tera byte!
Tumblr media
Then suddenly on 1 night in 2021, a year later. Nari calls JTE to inform her that her father buys a horse and that someone was standing next to it. JTE are rushing home to see HIM. This is so emotional. I loved how they make the meeting also parallel to eps 1. With JTE put on the sirene - the rest was history. The disbelief in JTE face, the relief in Gon face, the words, the music, the KISS! Im glad they find each other again 🥺🥺
Back to Corea, apparently JY also has his memory. So at the end yoyo boy keep the memory of 3 person involved in making things right. I suppose as a gift? Thank you yoyo boy. I almost had heart attack when Gon said to JY about twins haha i thought it was Gon’s, but no its JY siblings and he name it after Eunbi Kkabi. Im so soft for him. And we can see Luna and KHM also the revelation of cctv record that Gon saw in eps 9(?), 27 May 2022. Also Luna future is to become police/good guy because she is adopted by GSR mom. So both are siblings 🤣🤣 i like that. Also i like we got to see Kim Biso becoming guard of GSR in prison. Fate it is. Like what the whole story was all about.
Tumblr media
So the flute when in a whole, had a lot more fun. It allows our couple to travel through time and universe. They choose always universe that did not have them as doppelganger. So most of the time they travel to past. But since there are no rule now inside the gate, they cannot choose where they may end up and just follow the fate. How i really loved this insight. Relating it to real life, we never knew where we go and which door led us to. But if we just follow the destiny it definitely bring us to the right time and place. Eventually.
Tumblr media
At 1 time they got back to Kingdom of Corea at the same time, dates. I loved Lady Noh now, very sneaky 🤣 also JY and MSA actually flirting/dating 💕💕 and the iconic cctv room KISS!!!
Tumblr media
I appreciate they show us how both lovers still pretty much doing a good job in their respective universe. JTE with her team and Gon doing his King work. Its shows how equal they are. And we got to see Secretary Mo as the new PM. And the fact they touches the working mother issue was everything i want to see!
Tumblr media
And to hear Gon iconic line for the last time makes me emotional. It was the last time we can hear him introducing himself 😭 the cinematography was amazing and can make you feel the sadness of saying goodbye to this characters. Not only Gon but also JTE.
Tumblr media
Then last scene! Both arrive in the past i think around 1960(?). Both travel together, doing all the things they skipped, just smiling, laughing, be happy, until they old. Seriously this ending was great. Quoted their last words “no matter what kind of a door opens before us in life and even if the moments we share makes us sad at times, i wish to love tirelessly. Just like that, we decides to love the fate that chose us. Just today and only today. Forever” then we got to see them hands still holding until they got old and DREAM song!! It was all just to beautiful. So apparently this series was touching much about being stoic and carpediem - brb crying until years after -
Tumblr media
How it made me feel:
What a roller coaster ride. This series made me laugh, cry, grin, angry and warm. At first 1-6 episode it will left you uncertain about what they want to do with it, but 7-16 all become darker and darker, better and better. Im impressed by the script, the characters, the development, the acting, the cinematography, the directing, the editing (it has it flaws but it gets better anyway), everything. Im a bit emotional in writing this because it feels like im saying goodbye to them when i dont feel like it yet. Also i need to thank them because of them i saw something beautiful and they basically save me from a devastated year of 2020. No matter how this world treated this art badly, this remains masterpiece.
“Those who judge will never understand, and those who understand will never judge”

Do you like mutual pining because you Love slow burn and the yearning or because you take comfort in the idea that someone would love you and want you just as much as you would want and love them?

king the eternal monarch.
this was definitely an interesting drama to say the least, and definitely not what i expected. i was originally excited because of this cast line up, because dang this is a dream come true. but as it progressed it became more sci-fi fantasy than i had thought. but it did not disappoint. 
from the start it gave me ‘goblin’ and ‘scarlet heart ryeo’ vibes. it was absolutely stunning how the writers and characters and directors were able to create a whole new world and dimension that we fell into. it was a lot to follow and not what i anticipated. it is not a drama to watch when you’re tired because you will miss something important, and the little moments are what truly mattered. 
it was a lot and i thought time would help me process, but like this review will still be a mess because it still doesn’t make perfect sense…
i would give this one an 9 out of 10. seriously lee min-ho and kim go-eun an incredible duo, as well as a shout out to our bromance woo do-hwan made this show what it was! 
Tumblr media
*spoilers ahead*
theme and dimensions. 
the dimensions and sci-fi aspects go hard. the way in which the portrayed these were STUNNING. like seriously the kingdom of corea was beautiful, and the fourth dimension between the worlds was insane. there was so much to follow with regards to the connections between him and the main bad dude lee lim. like the scar and the flute and how the gates opened. and how lee lim’s plan was absolutely freaking insane, replacing people in one dimension killing them in the other to try to become king in corea. like woah bro. 
it was interesting to see how everything was connected and and how we knew the end at the beginning but didn’t really know the ending. like we had our ideas about who it was but dang i kind of expected but like didn’t expect him to be the one who saved himself and left behind the badge to lead him to her again. (the dimensions were trippy as frick). 
characters. 
let’s start with lee gon. this man was perfect. it was majestic when lee gon traveled between worlds and rode his horse into the middle of the main city square, like come on! he read to children, in his traditional attire (*swoons*). seriously it was not hard to fall for this character, he was charismatic and the bromance with jo young was sooooo hilarious. 
jo young and eun-sup really provided immense relief for the hard issues happening with everything around them and the dimension crossing and such. the bromance was so hilarious between this triangle of men. i loved how these characters juxtaposed each other. it was perfect for the rigid jo young to try and portray the light hearted eun-sup, and vice versa. (i also must say that do-hwan did a perfect job at portraying these very different characters. i love him)
Tumblr media
honestly i didn’t immediately fall in love with our leading lady. her personality didn’t come off great at the beginning. like girl you need to open up a bit, but then all of a sudden she fell for him and became unable to hold her own which was super confusing for the middle part of the drama. overall, her character grew immensely and i did come to like her character. 
her romance with lee gon was perfect. he really grew her character and let her blossom. as she came to navigate the two worlds that befell her. i loved how differently they navigated the worlds. his approach so different to hers because of his previous approach to life in the kingdom and her as a detective. they had so many perfect moments. 
the prime minister seo-ryeong was wack. she was obsessed because she wanted continual power and to become queen, but that would never happen on lee gon’s watch. it was crazy how she ended up on lee lim’s crew, like woah. didn’t expect that. 
literally insane how shin-jae, the police man and best friend of our girl, ended up being from the kingdom of corea all along, like seriously so much to keep up with. and the same with the royal court lady ok-nam. and how she knew about the korean war and asked tae-eul when she found out what happened to the korea she knew. and she seriously went through so much, it was a miracle she lived through this drama because lee gon would have given me a heart attack if i had to manage him and he kept disappearing! 
favorite moments. 
when lee gon comes to this realization: (—cue me sitting in a puddle of tears)
i thought my name was not supposed to be called, but i guess it was supposed to be called only by you. 
i must say i love the parallel when they were walking, shin-jae from the other dimension and her in the kingdom of corea.
lee gon commenting on his hair tie mark ‘this mark shows that there’s someone who comes in and out of my heart. it’s tight though bc my heart is about to burst.’
‘i’ll open all the doors of the universe to come to you.’
Tumblr media
him wearing his uniform while making her food. because he got to look good, and she loves a man in uniform.
