Lamongan and The Coast : in b/w

 Lamongan is a city located in East Java, Indonesia. Despite of the famous Wisata Bahari Lamongan (Lamongan Nautical Tourism), Lamongan has a lot of coastal tourism, one of them is Brondong. 

Brondong's tourism main focus is in the port; where all the fishers gather around to sell the catches.

[Thai Movie] The Teacher's Diary : A Must-Watch Movie For Teachers

I don't usually watch movies, but when it comes to Thailand movies... I think they did a pretty good job. In my opinion, Thailand always make a creative plot trough the movies or dramas; they even do a really good job in making commercials (for me Thailand ranked number 1 for making commercials. you should go and watch Thailand-nese commercials!) 

Ok back to the topic, 

Probably like one year ago I read a local newspaper and I found this movie's review. I was intrested with the plot; a young P.E (Physical Education / Sports) teacher, Mr Song, come to teach a rural boating school alone but then he found a diary of the former female teacher, Mrs Ann, that was teaching there like one year ago. He read the diary and begin to fall in love with her. Even missing her and think about her. This part is the point of interest : like how the hell you could miss someone you don't even know her/his face yet? 

By the way, 

I was VERY satisfied for watching this movie. Overall, I think the place was the best. The story's background is a rural area and the director (Nithiwat Tharantorn) REALLY make it beyond of all my expectation. The boating school, the storm, even the dead body seems real... (I was really surprised when it comes to dead-body scene like i jumped out of my chair). And for your information, this movie is based on a true story.. which is cool. 

The actors and actress did a really good job either. The actor who played dumb but kindhearted Mr Song was really great, however the most interesting thing about the character is Mrs Ann, her character was thick-headed, kind, but sometimes you'll pity her (for being in such a difficult time). The students, are awesome.

This movie is absolutely a must watch for teachers. How they really passionate to teach may encourage the teacher to teach with heart like what Teacher Song and Teacher Ann did. 

I watched it on dramacool.com :) 

[Webtoon] Cheese In The Trap : I'm Trapped...

DISCLAIMER: Pictures are actually not mine! I just googled it. Thankyou :) 

 

Sooooo, who's into comics?

*raising my hand* 

We're in the day when you can access comics or manwha (Korean comics) or anime-comics in a web, which is online, and you can call it Webtoon.So if you're into webtoon, you must be know Cheese In The Trap then.

Cheese In The Trap is one of webtoon that I currently read and I REALLY LOVE IT (yes, I know it's pretty too late to know this webtoon since it's been famous since a couple years ago among the webtoon-ers but forgive me I didn't know  that webtoon is even exist back then 'cause I just read Kocchimuite Miiko). 

CITT- the abbreviation of Cheese In The Trap-is my favorite among of the webtoons that I read. 

And let me tell you why, 

CITT brings a story about a girl that struggles in her university life. Her name is Seol She's really ambitious and always try to get the scholarship so her parents don't even need to pay it for her. She did everything to pay the tuition, like doing a side-job, and she even takes one year break from the university so that she can gain money. But when she came back to the university she got a pretty weird treats from her sunbae (senior in Korean), his name is Yoo Jung. It's suspicious because Jung was never ever never did something nice to her like they didn't even talked a lot to each other, but when she came back everything is 180 degree different; Jung is nice, talk to Seol and even asked her to get lunch together. Well in the bio section of this webtoon, the author gives a description about Jung; he is nice but he had a dark side. Which is scary, and I believe that his dark side has something to do with Baek Inho and Baek Inha, Jung's childhood friends. No, they're not twins, Inha is Inho's older sister.

I read this drama up until Season 3 episodes 51 or 53? (i forgot..) in OddSquad (because Line Webtoon is currently up to season 2). But I can't even read it on OddSquad again; the Naver team decided to make CITT as a pay-webtoon. So.....I just wait until the Line Naver is posting Season 3.. 

But guess what even if I already read up to season 3 i still can't figure out why Jung had a dark side and what the heck is his dark side?? That's the fun part; I have to read this webtoon more to figure out Jung's dark side.

Anyway, Yoo Jung. He's just perfect; he's handsome, clever, good at sports, tall, and so on and so on and so on.

The illustrations-are great!- it's so minimalist and the character's fashion is OK too. I believe i read it somewhere but someone said something like: "the character's hair is really good but Seol's hair color is pretty weird"

Yes, people, Seol got an orange hair. 

Wait... is it orange or something orange to brown?

I just call it Firefox's Orange then...... 

Aaaand, do you know that TVN will adopt this webtoon as a drama? I'm soooo excited 

So this webtoon's drama-adaptation will be aired in January 4, 2016 KST 23:00 on TVn. Does the role fit the characters? Let's see..

Kim Go Eun as Hong Seol.

So this role is actually at first offered to Bae Suzy but she turned down the offer, and Kim Go Eun is actually came out for Hong Seol's role in this drama. To people who watched Coin Locker Girl, Go Eun must be familiar to see.

From my perspective, Go Eun is quite fit to this role, but.....her chubby cheeks doesn't even fit with Seol's cheeks and her puppy eyes is not fit with Seol's sharp eyes....however the hair is pretty fit except the bangs. I'm sorry but I just don't think that the bangs fit to Seol's bangs..... But overall, i watched Go Eun in CITT's teasers, i think that Go Eun will rock this drama. Like how Hyeri rocks Duk Seon's role in Reply 1988 ;D

is it just me or she just looks like Park Shin Hye in this photo?

 

look at the bangs! 

Park Hae Jin as Yoo Jung.

Me and my Korean eonni, Yoo Wha (she was my temporary teacher for World IT Friends Korea Volunteers back in August 2015), we agree that Hae Jin is perfect for this role!. He is tall and handsome and the hair...is really Jung's style. I think he will do a great job since I watched him in Doctor Stranger as a cold doctor..he's pretty good at cold role....and that's what Jung is....so it's perfect. hehehe.

 But I just realized something when I saw a comment on Youtube CITT teasers; "Park Hae Jin looks kinda old for this role.."

Well, despite his 32 years-old age, I think the actor that really fit into this role is Hae Jin. 

Seo Kang Joon as Baek In Ho.

This man is really fit into In Ho's role. In Ho is actually kind of bad boy but he is really kind inside. Since Kang Joon's eyes is deep and sharp, but he seems sweet so he's really fit into this role!

Lee Sung Kyung as Baek In Ha.

If you're following YGK+ models, you must be know Sung Kyung then. Known as bible (from her instagram heybible) Sung Kyung is quite fit into this role because she had that 'In Ha' style, which is sassy, bad girl, and...how i'm gonna say it... it's gizibe (badass girl). 

 

Inho & Inha

well, I'm looking forward for this drama!

[REVIEW] Royal Tretes View Hotel&Convention : Murah, Ramah, Nyaman lagi!

Setiap setahun sekali, pasti aku pergi ke Pasuruan. Sambil bantu usaha Papa disana, aku nginep di pilihan dua hotel. Kalo gak di Surya Hotel ya di Royal Tretes ini.

Royal Tretes kalo dari Surya Hotel kira-kira cuma 5-10 menitan. Nggak jauh. 

Apasih yang paling aku suka dari hotel ini? Suasananya oke banget. Nyaman, sepi ya nggak sepi, rame ya nggak rame, cuma nggak enaknya di luar hotel ini nggak ada orang jualan makanan gitu. Adanya Alfamart kecil. Kalau mau keluar sedikit, baru ada orang-orang jual makanan khas Tretes; bakso, sate kelinci/ayam atau jagung bakar (ini kuliner wajib dicoba kalo main ke Tretes, sumpah!)

Hotel ini lagi sepi-sepinya. Nggak kayak lebaran tahun kemaren. Padahal lebaran tahun kemarin penuh lho ._. 

Menurut brosur yang aku ambil hari ini (14 Juli 2015) ada 5 jenis room. Yakni Superior, Deluxe, Studio, Royal Suite dan Honeymoon Suite. 

Mas-mas front office, bellboy dll nya ramah banget juga!! biasanya kan ketus-ketus gitu. Anyway pas aku kesini ada mas-mas bellboy yang good looking :D. 

Aku sih biasanya ambil kamar yang Superior. Cuma kali ini beda, nanti aku review nyusul aja ya hehe. Kali ini bahas fasilitasnya aja dulu. 

Sesuai brosur yang aku ambil ini dia fasilitasnya:

• 100 Luxury Room
• Restaurant
• Free Wifi 
• Security Key Card
• Swimming Pool
• Karaoke Lounge
• Spa
• 24 hrs front desk
• Express service
• Major credit card accepted
• Meeting room
• 24 hrs room service
• 24 hrs security
• Kids Playground

Kamar-kamar yang ada di sini pasti disuguhi pemandangan hijau alam khas Tretes. Pas masuk pertama di kamar, mas-mas bellboy nya bilang "Ini kamar yang pemandangannya paling bagus lho mbak.." eheheh iya sih bagus, semuanya terekspos jelas disini. Ada rumah kecil-kecil yang gemerlapan kalo malem nun jauh di sana. Juga ada banyak pohon, dibawahnya ada swimming pool, dan keliatan tennis court nya juga.

ini pemandangan yang aku dapet

kolam renang dilihat dari atas

Sekarang kita lihat fasilitas di lantai lain (aku dilantai 6)

Di sini hotelnya hijau banget dan tanaman-tanamannya terawat. Ada taman dan pastinya bersih. 

Ini juga ada swimming pool. Tingginya 2 meter, ada yang lebih pendek sih tapi kecil banget. Area swimming pool ini dijadiin satu sama kids playgroundnya. Juga ada tempat duduk-duduk santai dibawah pohon sambil ngawasin adek-adek yang lagi renang/mainan.

Satu lantai dengan swimming pool, ada Kafe Jalan Jalan dan tempat Spa (rumah di belakang kursi-kursi itu tempat spa nya). Kalau mau reservasi spa harus ke depannya front office dulu. Cuma untuk harga spa-nya mahal banget x_x

Ini juga tennis courtnya...

Ini penampakan depan hotelnya..

Tau ga sih kenapa aku seneng banget disini? Soalnya ada Jacuzzi!! wkwk tapi jacuzzinya cuma buka weekend doang..

Overall, aku suka banget sama pelayanan hotel ini.  Nilai yang aku kasih 4/5 untuk fasilitasnya. Untuk sekedar liburan weekend atau liburan panjang di Pasuruan, aku suka banget. Cuma kekurangannya susah banget cari makan! -_- abis di depannya nggak ada orang jualan kayak di hotel Surya. Padahal the sense of tretes ada di situ..untung kalo mau ke daerah orang jual makanan nggak seberapa jauh..
