Fav Quote from Ratatouille

In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations, the new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new, an extraordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. To say that both the meal and its maker have challenged my preconceptions about fine cooking is a gross understatement. They have rocked me to my core. In the past, I have made no secret of my disdain for Chef Gusteau's famous motto: Anyone can cook. But I realize, only now do I truly understand what he meant. Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. It is difficult to imagine more humble origins than those of the genius now cooking at Gusteau's, who is, in this critic's opinion, nothing less than the finest chef in France. I will be returning to Gusteau's soon, hungry for more. - Anton Ego

Hari Kartini ;)

21 April 2011. Di Indonesia, hari ini diperingati sebagai Hari Kartini. Raden Ajeng Kartini adalah salah satu pejuang emansipasi wanita di Indonesia. Tanpa jasa Beliau, mungkin gue dan semua wanita di Indonesia masih wajib berkutat di rumah, terutama dapur, enggak diijinkan untuk mengenyam pendidikan. Apalah arti hidup ini bila hanya berputar di sekitar rumah, enggak tahu apapun, hidup terus dikekang? Ketika muncul beberapa wanita luar biasa yang berani melawan status quo tersebut, kita patut bersyukur. Di saat semua orang berkata bahwa pernyataan A benar, tetapi mereka dengan berani menunjukkan betapa lebih baik dan adilnya pernyataan B. Begitulah seharusnya kita sebagai wanita, BERANI. Berani yang bertanggung jawab, lebih tepatnya. Kita harus berani mempertahankan pendapat kita kalau menurut kita hal itu benar adanya. Wanita itu tidak lemah, mereka KUAT, sama halnya seperti pria. Masing-masing punya perannya sendiri, dan harus bisa saling melengkapi. Enggak ada yang namanya saling menjatuhkan, yang ada adalah saling mendukung. SEMANGAT, WANITA INDONESIA!!! Be strong, be brave, be the light! Have a nice night ;)

Quote of the Day

In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe. - Michael Jackson

Define 'LIFE'...

About Our Prayers ;)

I asked God for strength that I might achieve. I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey. I asked for health that I might do greater things. I was given infirmity that I might do better things. I asked for riches that I might be happy. I was given poverty that I might be wise. I asked for power that I might have the praise of men. I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God. I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed.

Fear to be Bright...?

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us most. - Maryanne Williamson
