A celebrated writer's irresistible, candid, and eloquent account of her pursuit of worldly pleasure, spiritual devotion, and what she really wanted out of life.
Around the time Elizabeth Gilbert turned thirty, she went through an early-onslaught midlife crisis. She had everything an educated, ambitious American woman was supposed to want—a husband, a house, a successful career. But instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed with panic, grief, and confusion. She went through a divorce, a crushing depression, another failed love, and the eradication of everything she ever thought she was supposed to be.
To recover from all this, Gilbert took a radical step. In order to give herself the time and space to find out who she really was and what she really wanted, she got rid of her belongings, quit her job, and undertook a yearlong journey around the world—all alone. Eat, Pray, Love is the absorbing chronicle of that year. Her aim was to visit three places where she could examine one aspect of her own nature set against the backdrop of a culture that has traditionally done that one thing very well. In Rome, she studied the art of pleasure, learning to speak Italian and gaining the twenty-three happiest pounds of her life. India was for the art of devotion, and with the help of a native guru and a surprisingly wise cowboy from Texas, she embarked on four uninterrupted months of spiritual exploration. In Indonesia, Bali, she studied the art of balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. She became the pupil of an elderly medicine man and also fell in love the best way—unexpectedly.
An intensely articulate and moving memoir of self-discovery, Eat, Pray, Love is about what can happen when you claim responsibility for your own contentment and stop trying to live in imitation of society’s ideals. It is certain to touch anyone who has ever woken up to the unrelenting need for change.

Here is the Water For Elephants Trailer with Robert Pattinson, Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz!. It looks so GOOD... cute.
Bisa di bilang tanggal segini masih beraroma liburan tahun baru. Santai-santai, leha-leha, mandi agak sorean, dan di temani dvd dan cd yang seru. Kemarin baru aja beli dvd How To Train Your Dragon di gading, ah.. kangen.. film Dragon in saya nonton di bioskop 2x saking suka nya dan seru, 3D nya bagus dan bener-bener 3D dan kagak sia-sia pake kaca matanya yang super uncomfortable.
Gak cuman beli si dragon aja, dvd nya Pink yang dia lagi konser Funhouse tiba-tba ada di depan mata waktu pas mau ngeliat-ngeliat. Langsung tanpa banyak mikir beli. So cute konsernya Pink yang Funhouse ini. Bertema kan Circus (sama kayak Britney), tapi beda nya Circus yang di sajikan oleh Pink lebih simple dan standard. Kostum, dancer, dan tata panggung Circus klasik. Untuk penampilan nya juga Pink hanya ber akrobat di opening, lagu Sober (sama seperti penampilannya di MTV VMA 2009), dan di lagu encore/terakhir, Gliter In The Air (like a Grammy 2010).
Untuk memperbanyak materi musik di dalam mobil saya aka Bronx, biar seandainya macet kita bisa karoekean atau sekedar joget-joget, saya memperbanyak membeli album. Salah satunya dari mba Nicki Minaj ini, Pink Friday. Bookletnya cute, pink harajuku. Lagu-lagu yang terdapat di Pink Friday ini bisa di bilang Cukup Bagus... Banyak berbagai kolaborasi di antara lain ada mba Riri aka Rihanna, mas Eminem, dan Will.I.Am dengan single andalannya "Check It Out".
The Beginning by The Black Eyed Peas album yang saya tunggu-tunggu. Karna pas labum terkahirnya yang The E.N.D kirain ini group bakalan bubar, eh ternyata eh ternyata itu hanya sekedar tema untuk mengakhiri satu dekade ini. haha. This album is ROCK! Sick! Epic! Amazing!. Serasa berada di salah satu klub ibu kota, haha. Beat yang di berikan sm BEP keren banget dah.
Happy New Year to all my fellas... GBU all.. Keeps Gettin Better..

I dont know if in real life things can end up this good, but at least i have something to hope for. being gay is so tough and lonely, seeing this movie makes me cry and laugh all the way through. the romantic moments were so touching and cute. I love it very much".
