Ah, it's that time of the decade again for the Summer Olympic Games! Hurrah, the 2012 London Olympics has started!

I watched the opening ceremony on ESPN/Star Sports/RCTI last night, switching between channels while also preparing for a day of fasting with sahur, and let me tell you: THIS IS HARD. The whole family woke up for the ceremony and ( Read more... )

I went to watch The Amazing Spider-Man last Tuesday, which was the movie's opening day here. I went with a friend who wanted to watch it on IMAX... I didn't hold out much hope that we could get tickets without the online ticketing system that the cinema is forcing us to register for, but we went anyway. As predicted, we didn't get seats at the IMAX ( Read more... )

This week I've been so distracted by The Avengers (and everything Brothers Grimm) that I somehow neglected to watch the latest episode of Glee... and I still don't feel like watching it right now. *laughs*

Yesterday, I went for my third viewing of The Avengers. Still doing the FABULOKI dress code of green-black-gold and still finding the Hulk! ( Read more... )

Uh-oh. LJ is having yet another maintenance. Anticipate the worst.

Big news from work earlier today (yesterday, Thursday): I had a meeting with someone who might make Life at the Bookstore a comic book. I'm preparing a story to be submitted now. I hope we can really do this. It's exciting!

But I knew that following Publishers Weekly's Twitter ( Read more... )

I may be regretting my decision to wake up early (as early as 8.30 AM) on a Sunday morning (!!!!!!!!) to sort out my Potter article. Because there are so many surprises that could hit you at this time of day! Surprises I'm unprepared to comment on. Such as this one:

The name's Craig, Mrs Craig: Rachel Weisz 'secretly marries James Bond star Daniel ( Read more... )

There is merit in not sleeping because then you're still trolling Youtube and still on Twitter and you watch Tweets that announce epic news like this:

Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli of EON Productions, together with Gary Barber and Roger Birnbaum, Co-Chairmen and Chief Executive ( Read more... )

August. It's here. Let's rock n' roll.

Yesterday, I celebrated Harry Potter's birthday by reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince while having my feet massaged at the salon during what turned out to be the most relaxing days off I've had in months.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HARRY! For me, you'll never get old and will never be old news. ♥

( Speaking of yesterday, did I tell you that it was the penultimate day of my Sweden cousins' visit to Jakarta? )

My weekend was busy. But I did get to spend time and hang out with my Sweden cousins, which was fun! ( We ate, we shopped and we saw embarrassing childhood photos from the family album... )

Today's Monday. Today's a cloudy, rainy Monday. You can imagine how lazy that made me feel. But, hey, I did manage to get out of bed and go to work. I'm still lazy, though.

I'm also a bit sleepy. I stayed up until 2 to watch E! Live on the Red Carpet at the 2009 BAFTA Awards. Since we don't get a broadcast of the actual ceremony, we have to be ( Read more... )
