Melbourne Wedding Marathon by Almira Bastari

Agak beda dengan Resign yang bisa membuat pembacanya terpingkal-pingkal sampai sakit perut, MWM mengajak pembacanya kilas balik ke masa cinta pertama di saat sudah menginjak usia matang, dengan bumbu agak berat: kesetaraan gender. Sydney setuju menjadi kekasih kontrak Anantha selama sebulan. Lama kelamaan keduanya saling jatuh cinta. Akibat tekanan dari mantan pacar dan keluarga Anantha, Sydney memutuskan berbohong agar kekasih kontraknya tersebut mau keluar dari kehidupannya. Heroine dalam MWM digambarkan sebagai wanita berprestasi, cantik, dan mandiri yang membuatnya dijauhi pria. Bahkan teman pria sekontrakannya menyalahkannya atas segala pencapaian dan kelebihannya tersebut. Sampai ia berjumpa dengan Anantha, yang sukses tapi lelah dan “kosong” hidupnya. Mereka saling mengisi kehidupan selama sebulan, sampai perbedaan kasta dan tekanan sosial membuat Sydney menyerah. Hal yang paling menarik dari MWB adalah rayuan-rayuan gombal Ananta kepada Sydney.

Hoarding Up Cosmetics.

Lately, I’ve been purchasing a lot of cosmetics. Usually i just bougt eyeshadows or lipsticks every 4months. But recently i feel like i tried a new product every month. My latest buying spree was Implora eyeshadow, which at only 25k for 10 colourful and neutral palette, gives me a very pigmented result. At november ’17, i bought a mineral botanica lip cream. The color pigmentation (its Honey Nude) is quite OK, but its staying power is horrible. I need to use lipbalm before applying it. The lipbalm used as lip moisturizer and make the lip cream less sticky. If i dont use lip bam, the lip cream will fade every time I drink (which I always do every 30 minutes) and it will be so sticky in my mouth I feel like using a lip sticker instead of a lip cream. It costs me 45k for a tube.

Anime : A Netflix’s Guide

A side from great documentaries and reality shows, Netflix also have some great anime. Namely: Castlevania, Fate/Apocrypha, or Sinbad. Even if some of non Netflix’s Originals is quite good, like Shokugeki no Souma, Haikyu!!, or Tokyo Ghoul. I’m not an hardcore otaku or anime fan, rarely watched them. The latest anime I watched the whole season was Fate/Stay Night unlimited blade works. It is so good i watched it ten times. First anime i watched at netflix was the Garden of Words. Its a story about a student who freqiently visit a woman on a garden only when its rain. They wil exchange words about daily life, food, or simply dreams. Slowly but sure, the student fell for the woman. Then one day, he finds out that the woman is an outgoing teacher at his school. The story of this movie is quite simple. How to scarred soul discover and heal each other. The most distinguished one about this movie is how good its animation. Its like 2D animation shot in 3D camera. The distance betwee...
