So, enjoy the first part of this Trilogy..



"I really enjoy the fun life in Sydney eventough i still miss my life in Paris and Jakarta.."


Q: What’s your activity now?
A: Holidays and studying


Q: What major are you taking in University of New South Wales (UNSW)?
A: International business


Q: Why do you choose that?
A: Why not? It’s a wide and general field. Because I don’t know specifically yet what kind of profession I will take.


Q: Don’t you want to play a movie again?
A: I enjoy acting, but I feel I’m not talented at it. For me a movie player is not for long-term profession.


Q: What’s the last movie you watched?
A: I haven’t been watching movies for a while. But the last movie I enjoy is Control, an English movie about Joy Division band.


Q: What book are you reading now?
A: A Happy Death by Albert Camus


Q: Do you enjoy your study?
A: Yes I do. As long as I know what my professors want, what they expect from me. And keep finding out about this.


Q: What major did you take in Sorbonne?
A: English major. Not only learning about the literature, but also about the civilization and the history of British colonies.


Q: What’s the difference between Sydney and Paris?
A: When in Paris, I miss Sydney. Sydney is a relaxing city especially with its Bondi beach. Paris is more hectic and stressful, it can be seen on the people’s faces, the crowd, and how they shout at each other.


Q: What makes you missing Paris?
A: The times when I walk there. No matter how long you live in Paris, you can be lost then you found the new streets. I also like its beautiful buildings and how the seasons change.


Q: Then how do you feel about Jakarta?
A: Jakarta is my home, a place where I grew up. My family also lives in Jakarta.


Q: What do you do when you’re in Sydney and missing Jakarta?
A: Make a call on mom and dad, and trying to enjoy Sydney whenever I can.


Q: While you’re not studying, what do you do around Sydney?
A: Go to art galleries, and good festivals and concerts.



Q: What kind of music do you like?
A: Various. One of the bands I like now is Arcade Fire from Canada. They had concerts in Sydney twice while I’m in Jakarta at the moment. Uh, so sad I couldn’t watch it.


Q: When you’re having night out with your friends, how do you put make up?
A: I put lip balm, mascara and blush-on.


Q: Why do you cut your hair that short?
A: Because I’d been long wanted it that way.


Q: Do you feel pretty?
A: What I think when I see myself in the mirror, oh that’s me. Not feel bad, not feel pretty. Just feel looking at myself.


Q: Do you feel comfortable with yourself?
A: Life has its ups and downs. When I’m down, I call my friends or close relatives, because they know me the best, they know how to comfort me the best, telling when we make mistakes sweetly.


Q: What’s the meaning of beauty to you?
A: I don’t know anything else meaning but cliché, like beauty comes from inside. But I don’t know why, that opinion is true.


Q: Do you diet to look pretty?
A: Actually I don’t. But sometimes I eat too much junk food and feel that I have to cut it.


Q: Do you like cooking?
A: Well, there it goes. Because I can’t cook, I eat junk food and enjoy it…hahaha…


Q: Your favorite junk food?
A: Burger and french-fries, pizza, chips.


Q: Where can we buy delicious burger in Sydney?
A: It’s near my place. I don’t know whether it’s the most delicious or not, though. The waiter has known that I must have burger and chips.

Dian Sastrowardoyo : "I Wanted To Be A Bond Girl..."

disclaimer

first, I don’t remember when exactly i wrote this n why i kept it in unpublished folder

second,as the last Bond movie’s gone for months, I’ve tried to recall who’s the bond girl name ( couldn’t remember. but don’t bother to browse in imdb),and can’t help thinking why those character is easily forgotten

Since I was young I always wanted to be a Bond girl. Went to Harvard, know how to kick ass, and look smashing as always, and of course have a great sense of art and music, and a great sense of humor. The thing is , actually those Bond girls die sooner than the others (he… he.. he..), not to mention that most of the time they are lonely too. Not much guy dare to pick them up, and not much guy amuses them too.

I used to want that much for my self coz, I’ve always imagined that THERE IS that guy, out there, I used to call whoever he might be my “James Bond”. The one so perfect, so unreachable, and he would only go for the best which is Bond girl. So that was what I was trying to be.

But then it’s not long before I finally hit the reality: that James Bonds don’t exist. Even if it does it’s only gonna be in those heads of ego-narscistic-megalomaniac-phallocentric-alpha male men that just don’t go out much. That’s the main reason why they developed such delusional idea that they could real life James Bond, simply be cause they didn’t have anybody to slap them in the face to tell ‘em that they’re not. In reality they are just those people with most of the time have nothing to do so they could spend most of their time in front of a mirror and embrace themselves.

In reality, I learnt that even the most successful men wouldn’t go for the perfect girl. They would go for the mediocre, the less successful girl, the less attractive girl. Maybe it’s just to ensure them with security that this one would need them and stand by them for as long as they live, even though if they’re being an asshole most of the time.

Now that really surprises me. The fact that those Bond-alpha-type-man cannot compete. Those men are suddenly smaller than I think! I know that mom had always talked about to respect men and to play dumb around them, but I never realize that it’s gonna be this extreme.

But, again, this is one of my extreme thoughts, and I admit I tend to exaggerate things hahaha
