The girls are back


charlotte, samantha, carrie, miranda

I was so thrilled when I read somewhere last year, that Michael Patrick King will make another sequel of Sex and The City movie.
I hooked up with SATC (the series) years ago, but then, I was too young to know about what they discussed so I watched it every once in a while.
And when HBO started to broadcast it again last year, when I "old" enough to know their issues, I was totally hooked up. The stories are original, beyond expectation. The 4 characters from the story are Carrie Bradshaw (played by Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte York (Kristin Davis), Samantha Jones (Kim Catrall), and Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon). Although it seems my character look a lot like Charlotte, but I'm a huge fan of Carrie. She's a writer of "sex & the city" column at NY newspaper, and she journeys with her 3 BFF to find true love and how they struggle in a relationship & life. Even The Guardian named Bradshaw as an icon of the decade, stating that she did as much to shift the culture around certain women's issues as real-life female groundbreakers.

The only similarity between Bradshaw & me is, we both crazy about shoes. There's 1 episode where she broke and realize that she spent a whooping $40000 for shoes & she has nowhere to live. That's just hilarious.

I bought the complete 6 seasons and watch it almost every night before bed. I just LOVED it so much. I love how the girls find their way to solve their problems, I love that 4 of them have different characters so they complete each other, their friendship, I always want to have friendship like the SATC girls... and not forget to mention, I love the fashion!! Especially Carrie, who combines high end designer collection with something vintage & stuff from the flea market. On the third season (if I'm not mistaken), Carrie wear this huge flower thing on her clothes & suddenly it become a fashion trend!

Anyhow, last night I finally watched the sequel. It was below expectation to be honest.. But it still OK. It receives pretty bad reviews, yes, if we're looking from public eyes, the movie is a bit disappointing. But no, if we're looking from women's eyes, especially for those who have marriage issues, i.e. motherhood, etc.

I love the fashion, they're fabulous, but it's just too much. Although somehow I hope SATC franchise will make another movies like "James Bond", but for fashion :)
The girls' originality characters from the series immediately gone. They've grown older, but not wiser. But I still love them anyway... And it made us laugh, even there's some inappropriate joke like Samantha said, "Lawrence of my labia". It still funny.

BTW, I just watched 1 of the episode from season 4, ahhh... how I wish they come back to be like that. But then again, it was only a movie. And SJP said, "Carrie Bradshaw is really the opposite of me, otherwise I'd be boring". Yes she is totally different person. She better be.

SATC Rocksssss! xx

PS: Have you seen the movie? Please tell me what you think! :)

still..

current mood : still upset Every children biggest dream would always be make their parents proud. Including me. But how? Many whispers came to my ear that said, "Go ahead and find your place at your Dad's Co.", "Why wasting more time with useless job?", "Don't ever try to work in a -desperately-needing-investment Bank!", and blah and blah and blah. Dude I really wanna show my Dad that I can earn myself money. Now my new car is on its way to my garage doesn't mean I'm fully happy. I mean, I feel very grateful with my Dad's present, but I realize that it will burden me. How long until I can earn my own money? Let's rewind to two years ago, when my friends busy to get a part-time job. This "part-time job" means SPG (Sales Promotion Girl), or Bridesmaid (at someone else's wedding), or Wedding Organizer's crew. That's all we can do for our status as a under-graduate student. Nothing else more and nothing else better...

W.W-II

My boyfriend and I have been fighting a lot lately.  What the heck is our problem? What is left to fight about? Don't we fight enough? I thought seven-and-a-half years is more than enough to get to know each other. Seven years ago, what we fought about was jealousy. I hate seen him with his female friends (let alone his ex girlfriend!) I hate to accept the fact that he loved his bike more than me, I mad when he late to picked me up. Seven years later, the problems between us are rapidly growing, to some serious ones.  Here comes the question: WHAT KIND OF MOTHER WOULD YOU BE? ...dead silence... That second I thought, holy shit.  How could he ask this weird, tricky, and unimaginable question? Honestly, I couldn't help it. He trapped me.  I muted for a while. Not because I didn't know the answer, of course I want to be not just good, but a GREAT mother (who doesn't anyway?)  But Dieter isn't the type of man who easily satisfied with a shortcoming answer. He nee...
