			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="diet veggies" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/nyuwi/blog/diet-in-veggies1.jpg" alt="" width="316" height="215" /></p>
<p><strong>Rise and Shine!</strong></p>
<p><em>Drink 1 &#8211; 2 glasses of mineral water + unsweetened lemon juice</em></p>
<ul> </ul>
<p>Okay, first of all, I have a <a class="zem_slink" title="Gastritis" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gastritis">gastritis</a>. Drinking unsweetened lemon squeezed juice in the morning right after I wake up, even just a tiny pint, is suicidal. But I agree with the a glass or two of <a class="zem_slink" title="Mineral water" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mineral_water">mineral water</a>, it tricked my stomach by telling my brain that I&#8217;m already full.</p>
<p><strong>Breakfast</strong></p>
<p><em>Mixed fruit or unsweetened juice (except </em><a class="zem_slink" title="Durian" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian"><em>durian</em></a><em>)</em></p>
<p>Oookay.. I love fresh fruits. But I&#8217;ve tried and I never get my stomach full by eating only fruit platter. And juice? No. I&#8217;ll be hungry again in an hour or so. And I don&#8217;t like durian anyway :(</p>
<p><em><strong>or </strong><a class="zem_slink" title="Oatmeal" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oatmeal">oatmeal</a> + banana cubes</em></p>
<p>Hm. I&#8217;ve tried this once before, and I love it :) but still, I&#8217;m hungry again in the next 2 hours :(</p>
<p><em><strong>or </strong><a class="zem_slink" title="Whole grain" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whole_grain">whole wheat bread</a></em><em> + honey</em></p>
<p>Argh! Whole wheat bread! I&#8217;ve lied to you if I ever say that this bread is delicious. It is NOT. delicious. at. all. Plain, no milky aroma, no softness feel of a bread, etc. I of course prefer <a class="zem_slink" title="White bread" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_bread">white bread</a>, but okay, this one&#8217;s still edible if you put low calorie jam/butter/choco spread.</p>
<p><span id="more-162"></span></p>
<p><strong>Snack (10.00 &#8211; 12.00)</strong></p>
<p><em>Fruit juice / mixed fruits (without sugar)</em></p>
<p>Unsweetened fruit juice. That&#8217;s already popular. But mixed fruit without sugar? What do you mean? Rujak? I&#8217;m not a big fan of rujak anyway (sour and spicy), so I&#8217;ll go with the fruit juice. But heck, it&#8217;s quite expensive if you wanna buy it on a shop/juice kiosk, and I&#8217;m a bit lazy to create a home-brewed fruit juice :( *I&#8217;m hopeless, I know*</p>
<p><strong>Lunch (12.00 &#8211; 14.00)</strong></p>
<p>Rule of thumb: CARBOHYDRATE + VEGETABLES or PROTEIN + VEGETABLES</p>
<p><em>Red rice or potato + Cap Cay + Tofu or Tempe</em></p>
<p>Hey! I love this menu :D It&#8217;s cheap and easy to get in every canteen, restaurant and even warteg. Except for the red rice, though. It&#8217;s rare, and sometimes only expensive restaurant (or diet restaurant) serves this kind of rice. But, to tell you the truth, the red rice itself is really cheap if you buy it in traditional market. It&#8217;s better to cook my own lunch at home, I guess. Or I can exchange the red rice with a half portion of white rice. Or with a <a class="zem_slink" title="Mashed potato" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mashed_potato">mashed potato</a>.</p>
<p><em>Red rice or potato + Kangkung + Tofu or Tempe</em></p>
<p>Same as above. Although I prefer Cap Cay than kangkung.</p>
<p><em>Grilled Fish + Salad</em></p>
<p>Yay! Grilled Fish *drools* But no rice? This is gonna be tough. And I don&#8217;t like salad :(</p>
<p><em>Grilled <a class="zem_slink" title="Chicken (food)" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_%28food%29">Chicken Breast</a> + Salad</em></p>
<p>Same as above. I want rice :(</p>
<p><strong>Snack (afternoon)</strong></p>
<p><em>Yogurt or <a class="zem_slink" title="Soy milk" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soy_milk">Soy Milk</a></em></p>
<p>Love them both, so I&#8217;m not complaining :)</p>
<p><em>Banana</em></p>
<p>Love it!</p>
<p>Man, I love the afternoon snack menu :D</p>
<p><strong>Dinner (18.00 &#8211; 20.00)</strong></p>
<p><em>Soup or Vegetables + Chicken Breast</em></p>
<p><em>Salad + Fish</em></p>
<p><em></em>Seems delicious. Yum!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m planning to follow this menu (with some modification, of course, haha). Actually, the foods are quite good for a low fat or low calorie diet menu. Except for the salad. Maybe I should start looking for a healthy yet delicious salad. By the way, I got the menu from <a href="http://www.esc-asia.com" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

<p><span class="zem_slink"> </span><a class="zem_slink" title="Three Idiots" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1187043/">3 Idiots</a> is a very booming <a class="zem_slink" title="Bollywood" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bollywood">Bollywood</a> movie on Indonesia&#8217;s twitterverse. Currently showing at Blitzmegaplex &#8211; <a class="zem_slink" title="Pacific Place Jakarta" rel="homepage" href="http://www.pacificplace.co.id/">Pacific Place</a>, Jakarta, and the show time has been extended around 3 times. At first, I don&#8217;t care about the movie nor the positive comments at all. I mean, I read the synopsys and it sounds boring. Or maybe it has the same plot like <a class="zem_slink" title="The Darjeeling Limited" rel="imdb" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0838221/">The Darjeeling Limited</a>.</p>
<p>But at that time I was strolling around Pacific Place pointlessly, and then I decided to watch some movies. So I visited the blitz cinema, dan ternyata ngga ada film yang menarik perhatian saya. Pas ngeliat poster film 3 Idiots, saya iseng aja nanya mainnya jam berapa dan masih kosong apa (well, the movie is ALWAYS sold-out for the 18.40 show time). Ternyata yang jam 12 siang masih kosong. Daripada ngga ngapa-ngapain, saya beli juga tiketnya (mahal lho, Rp. 50.000 on weekdays and Rp. 75.000 on weekend).</p>
<p>Basically, I watched the movie just to find out if the movie really that good, I mean REALLY good, and not overrated? Or is it because all the hype and fuss jadi semua orang ikut-ikutan muji-muji ni film? Intinya: saya korban penasaran.</p>
<p>Akhirnya setelah nonton 3 jam nonstop, saya memutuskan bahwa film ini UNIK. Bagus sih udah pasti, tapi saya lebih suka make kata-kata unik, karena saya jarang nonton film tipe begini. Atau mungkin ini standar yah buat ukuran Bollywood movies hahaha..</p>
<p><span id="more-130"></span></p>
<p>Saya ngga akan nulisin sinopsis lengkapnya di sini, main plot-nya sih tentang 2 orang yang mencari seorang temannya yang ngga ada kabar keberadaanya sama sekali dengan alur flashback. Saya juga ngga akan nulis kelebihan dan kekurangan dari film ini (lhoo jadi postingan ini bukan review dong yah hehehe), karena pasti review untuk film ini udah bejibuuunn, and I just want to avoid some spoilers cos it spoils the fun :) Jadi, saya cuma mau nulis hal-hal dalam film ini yang berkesan buat saya:</p>
<ol>
<li>Saya udah lamaaaaaa banget ngga nonton film India. Terakhir pas nemenin pembantu saya waktu SD, nontonnya di TV, gambarnya kresek-kresek dan selalu joget-joget plus nangis-nangis. And yes!! 3 Idiots has that key features too! Semua aktor dan aktrisnya joget bareng and nyanyi-nyanyi. Kadang lucu, kadang bikin ilfil, kadang bikin mereka terlihat sexy LOL</li>
<li>Opening title yang diiringi lagu khas Bollywood (lagu-lagu India gitu lah), lengkap dengan terjemahan lirik super puitis.</li>
<li>Semua aktornya bisa nangis! I mean bener-bener nangis sampe meleleh di pipi. Ow  ow ow&#8230;..</li>
<li>Aktornya ada yang mirip sama Eminem.</li>
<li>Ada beberapa adegan klise, tapi ga masalah. Justru di situ letak permainan emosinya.. halah.</li>
<li>The ending! Sebenernya sih ketebak banget, tapi lagi-lagi, karena ini film India (which is mostly anything can happen, or maybe it&#8217;s just because I&#8217;m not used with this type of movies) endingnya tetap aja surprise buat saya.</li>
<li>Pengambilan gambarnya bagus. Sungguh. Hahahaha&#8230;.</li>
<li>Salah satu film yang berhasil membuat saya ingin menontonnya kembali. Worth watching.</li>
<li>And when they say this movie is inspiring and motivating, they told you the truth.</li>
</ol>
<p>Saran dari saya, kalau mau nonton di blitz Pacific Place di jam sore, mending booking aja deh. Or take some alternative ways (you know what I mean :P).</p>
<p>Oh ya, jangan percaya sama sinopsis yang beredar, karena ngga akurat sama sekali. Trus jangan coba-coba baca Wikipedia-nya sebelum nonton (heavy spoiler alert!).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class="posterous_autopost"><strong>Update</strong>: <em>I changed my #365shots blog address. Now I use my Flickr account instead of <a href="http://dailynyuwi.posterous.com" target="_blank">my Posterous</a>, in order to make the photos appear automatically on my #365shots tweets on Twitter. <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyelz/" target="_blank">Click here</a> to view my new #365shots address :)<br /></em></div>
<div class="posterous_autopost"><em><br /></em></div>
<div class="posterous_autopost">I was googling around aimlessly when I stumbled upon <a href="http://media-ide.bajingloncat.com/2010/01/06/proyek-1-hari-1-foto-selama-365-hari/" target="_blank">Media Ide&#8217;s blog post about #365shots</a>. I really love the idea about taking a photo one shot per day. Jujur aja, saya orangnya emang kurang disiplin sama diri sendiri, jadi kalo bikin komitmen jangka panjang (this reminds me of my unresolved new year resolutions) saya suka keburu bosen. Mudah-mudah kalo ikutan nyoba #365shots saya bisa lebih konsisten.</div>
<div class="posterous_autopost">
<p>Satu foto sehari. Sounds simple enough, right? WRONG! It does sound simple enough, with just a mobile phone with camera and internet feature to upload your photos, and you&#8217;re ready to go. But what makes it complicated is the content of the photo. Sure, you can take a shot on everything you like, but for me (blame my perfectionist side), I have to find a really interesting object, try to make a good shot (even though the quality of the photo is not important in #365shots), just to find out that I&#8217;m not satisfied with my current photos, but unfortunately I already reached the end of the day. So yeah. I could&#8217;ve missed a day.</p>
<p>Tapi IMO yang penting saya jadi jadi lebih merhatiin berbagai detail di dalam keseharian saya dan terutama ya tadi itu, ngelatih disiplin. Besides, it&#8217;s fun and addicting!</p>
<p>And this is my <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cyelz/" target="_blank">#365shots</a>, baru mulai 3 hari sih, still a looong way to go. Hehehe..</p>

<p>Posterous also has the great Autopost feature, so it can update my primary WordPress blog simply by using my e-mail. Maybe I&#8217;ll write about my daily activities, some trivia things and a few rants via Posterous :P</p>
<p>Well, yes, I know I can update my WordPress by e-mail without Posterous, but I&#8217;m too lazy to set up a POP3 mail and I don&#8217;t wanna use any free e-mail services as my private WordPress e-mail.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft" title="Books vs Movies" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/nyuwi/dont_judge_a_book_by_its_movie_mug-.jpg" alt="" width="174" height="174" />Saya lagi nunggu-nunggu <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0814255/" target="_blank">film</a>nya<a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0814255/" target="_blank"> </a><a href="http://www.percyjacksonbooks.com/" target="_blank">Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightning Thief</a> yang rencananya minggu ini diputer di Jakarta. Karena emang saya orangnya ngga sabaran jadi udah nonton trailernya duluan dan lihat-lihat cast-nya siapa aja. Ada hal yang menarik. Salah satu tokohnya, Annabeth Chase, di novel digambarkan sebagai anak perempuan berambut pirang, and yes, Percy talked about her blonde hair, like, hundred times. Tapii.. ternyata aktris yang memerankan tokoh Annabeth ini rambutnya hitam! Jet black! Okay, maybe dark chocolate or whatever saya ngga pernah nge-cat rambut jadi ngga ngerti warna-warnanya tapi pokoknya gelap lah. Anyway, pastinya ini akan memicu perdebatan seru soal &#8216;buku vs film&#8217;. Klasik sih. Kalau merhatiin komen-komen orang sedunia, banyak yang mencela kru film Percy Jackson karena sangat-sangat-sangat berbeda dari bukunya (not just Annabeth, I think the whole movie is a lot different from the novel).</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="alignleft" title="Annabeth Chase - Percy Jackson  and The Olympians" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/nyuwi/Annabeth_Chase.jpg" alt="" width="128" height="190" /> <img title="Annabeth Chase - Alexandra  D'addario" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/nyuwi/Alexandra_Daddario_Right.jpg" alt="" width="126" height="189" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And here I am now, trying to state my own opinion toward the debate. As  an avid reader -and a rabid fan of Percy Jackson after reading the whole  5-books series, yes I have to admit that I was kinda surprised when I  watched the trailer. No no no, not disappointed, just.. surprised. And  it really caught my attention and interest. I mean, that series has a  very HUGE amount of fans. Berani juga sutradaranya bikin film yang  hampir bertolak belakang sama novelnya sendiri.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span id="more-43"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Maybe you&#8217;ll ask which side am I on, anyway? The books? Or the movies? My answer is neither. Karena menurut saya, tidak adil menilai sebuah film karena bukunya, ataupun menilai sebuah buku karena filmnya. A book is a book and should be carefully judged as a book only. The same goes for the movie. Saya memang tidak mengerti dunia bikin film, tapi pasti sulit membuat semuanya sama persis seperti di buku. Mulai dari setting yang pastinya makan banyak biaya, akting para aktor dan aktris yang entah memadai atau tidak, hingga kemampuan pengolahan kamera apakah layak untuk mewakili seperti yang dinarasikan di dalam buku. And please, everyone has their own angle about the story even though they&#8217;re reading the same paragraph. Film tidak akan bisa menyamai seratus sudut pandang orang, film hanya akan bisa memiliki satu sudut pandang. Lalu jika sembilan puluh sembilan orang lainnya tidak setuju, apakah berarti film itu menjadi tidak bermutu? So unfair. Bukannya saya jadi memihak ke kubu film, tapi saya justru jadi sangat tertarik alasan apakah yang membuat sutradaranya &#8216;nekat&#8217; bikin perbedaan yang begitu signifikan? Hmmm&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Kadang-kadang saya kasihan sama para pembuat film. Bahkan Daniel Radcliffe yang menurut saya udah mirip banget sama Harry Potter sempat dicela oleh beberapa teman saya karena &#8220;Ah, ngga kayak Harry ah! Aktingnya juga payah. Jelek deh filmnya! Ngga usah nonton! Nyesel! Ngancurin cerita HarPot aja!&#8221;. Speechless deh.</p>
<p><img title="Harry Potter Cover" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/nyuwi/blog/n22936.jpg" alt="" width="133" height="196" /> <img title="Harry Potter  Daniel Redcliffe" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v724/nyuwi/blog/44harry-potter1244070681.jpg" alt="" width="155" height="195" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Rasanya ngga adil kalau menilai sebuah film cuma dari para pemainnya atau dari keakuratan dengan novelnya. Kamera, special effects, dialog dan setting juga bisa dinilai. Tapi rasanya ngga semua orang mau repot-repot mengamati itu semua. Malah banyak yang belum selesai nonton udah bilang filmnya jelek. Begitu pula dengan buku, variabel yang dinilai aja udah beda, mana bisa menilai efek kamera dan sebagainya dari sebuah buku? Ada juga yang uda ngga suka sama karakternya, ga suka sama alurnya, bilang kalau ceritanya jelek. Gimana mau ngasih kritik yang bagus kalau belom baca dan nonton secara keseluruhan?</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Mungkin akan lebih dewasa kalau orang bisa menilai murni filmnya saja dan murni bukunya saja. Tapi begitu ditanya apakah seperti yang ada di bukunya, barulah orang bisa dengan sesuka hati mau pro atau kontra. Jangan karena filmnya cupu, berarti ceritanya jelek. Atau karena bukunya ngebosenin, filmnya juga pasti bikin ngantuk. Yang lebih parahnya lagi, karena filmnya ngga persis sama di buku, berarti filmnya jelek.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Yang namanya opini memang suka-suka dan jelas adalah hak asasi manusia, tinggal tergantung manusianya apakah ia open-minded atau ngga. Tapi harusnya kalau berani mendebat orang lain, fakta-fakta juga harus mendukung, jadi jangan cuma opini asal-asalan tanpa mengetahui secara lengkap apa saja yang harus dinilai dari sesuatu yang ia debat.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And remember, the only way to enjoy a novel is to read it and let the story carries your imagination away. Not to hope that some random images of the story will suddenly appeared on the page. And to enjoy a movie is to watch it, so don&#8217;t expect some texts to appear on the big screen trying to stimulate your imagination about the story. Kita nonton film, bukan nonton buku.</p>
