Movie and Series Recommendation on Netflix

Welcome to New  Normal :)
It's June 3rd 2020, and it will be my 2.5 months working from home (WFH).
My company started the WFH policy since March 17th and it may be ended on Jun 10th 😔

I don't want to talk about my WFH experience right now because as the title showed above, i'll share my Movie & Series recommendation that i (re)watched recently.

1. Sex and The City movie (#1 & #2)

So I re-watched this movie a few days ago and it somehow gave me new perspective. When i watched it the first time may be as a little or young girl, all i can grasped was that relationship is hard really and i saw that as something that happen only in movie or maybe to someone else but me.. Because hey that's not MY problem right, my problem was the next exam coming up.

But watching it recently as 20-something years old woman, working full time 8 12 hours a day 5 days a week, I feel i can relate to some of the topic in the scenes, if not most. The most memorable one for me is Samantha Jones. In the first movie it showed that loving yourself should be your #1 priority all the time, and it doesn't even matter how much love was poured to you by others. Not loving yourself will leave you empty. And I really admire Samantha who can leave her lovers (leaving a committed lover when you're 50 y.o is not wise according to netizen) , because he didn't let her love herself. 

By the end of the movie, I hope i can be as strong and powerful as my girl Samantha Jones :)

2. Demon Slayer Season 1 

Its manga is really popular, but i just watched the series on Netflix couple days ago. It's about a boy living in Toshio era where demons exist. One day, this yatim boy just got back from his work only to found his all family members slaughtered by demon(s). All dead, except his younger sister who's seconds away from death. When the boy tried his last effort to save his sister, he stumbled upon a Demon Slayer Corps member (a higher rank one). When the demon slayer tried to kill his sister, the boy endure and also tried to attack the slayer. It turns out his half-alive sister transformed into full demon, BUT has the conscience not to eat human. Impressed, the high-ranking demon slayer promote the boy to be a demon slayer too. And then their journey begin :)

I like this series because it's not an ordinary demon-hero theme i think, it's also has a slice-of-life touched, as its main objective is to turn the sister into human again and if possible, to achieve a peaceful between human and demon.

The only thing i despise is one scene where the sidekick character promote a toxic masculinity concept, where he said that "man can not cry and whine", likeee do you think a man equals stone which can not show emotion? Come on, is 2 decades past millennial!! I hope i won't find anymore upsetting like this in the future :)

Heyy, i'd like to share my experience last night, attended a recitation by Ust. Nouman Ali Khan, a well-known ustadz from USA. It actually started around a month ago, when one of my colleague at work, Mas Emir told Teh Icha, Mas Made and I that there will be recitation by Ust. Nouman Ali Khan in Jakarta. Being familiar with the name, i google-d him up and found that I at least have watched one of his videos in Youtube. Realising that this is a rare opportunity of him visiting Indonesia, I decided to commit to attend the event, where it will be held really close which is in Balai Kartini. Of course I am not ready if have to go by myself, if you know me my friend, you will understand hehe.. Well to put it frankly, i am not a very religious person, and neither in the process to be one. 😅 And so I also asked my friends directly that afternoon, Cendekia girls, to join. Hartek and Chu said yes almost instantly, so we decided to booked the ticket immediately. If you read the sent

As the title goes, i would like to share a review of new movie which is none other than Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them! Before you reading the rest of this post, please note that it might have some serious spoilers. So if you haven't watched the movie, and don't want any spoilers, come back after you watch it okaay :) First of all, i would like to share some insights of my Muggle born "friends" have about this movie. They thought that, this movie in particular is not satisfying enough. They argue that the story line is not good, so nothing special with it to be considered as high quality movie, and of course they believed that this movie is overrated! Hmmmm... Well, actually i'm FINE with all comments like that, you know.. It's a democratic country, that every person has the same right to give and express their opinion. And I totally UNDERSTAND that every people has their own taste, their own preferance. Even though I am a little bit hurt by

 She asked me,  "How did you move on? It's really hard for me. And it really hurts". I gather my thought for a while, letting some 8 years-flashbacks running thru my head, and exhale , "I once did everything in my power to save myself from drowning unnecessarily. Will you do the same, to save yours?". I believe that it's not running away, that it's merely the act of changing priority on loving and caring my self more. And I'm not looking back.
