What I've Been Looking for in the Movies ( So Far )...

I enjoyes cute rooms and houses which I've seen in the movies

Meg Ryan's House in You've Got Mail, so warm and inviting

Her Bookstore in the same movie, could stay there forever

Detective Monk's Apartment, envying the obsessively neat organization
which I know I couldn't achieve 

Nicole Kidman's house at The Hour, so rustic and cute, yet errie


What I've been Looking for in the Movies ( So Far )

Movies are one of many things that I like to see
( others are : dogs, flowers, cute downtowns, typhography, natures, food as art, paintings, and so on and so forth )
These days, besides the storiestelling and the actors,
there are particular things which I crave in a movie

1. The color combos

dusty rose,brown and grey work nicely together in Ballet Shoes, the movie
autmn colors such terracotta, grey, brown in Not Another Happy Ending

red and green are predominant in the whole movie of Amelie

mustard, green and teal in the Meryl Streep's kitchen at the Bridges of Madison County
Do you remember a movie from its colors ?

WEDDING OF THE YEAR

In the 14th years I lived in the USA, very rarely I got a wedding invitation.
So far only 8 times, and I attended 6 of them. Back home, going to the wedding is almost a monthly or even weekly, occasion.
Indri and Eric's wedding in apple orchard
In my opinion, the weddings back home are more elaborate and bigger than those in the USA. So, from the guests point of view, there are more preparation for the female guests to make herself presentable in the wedding party. There are dresses and shoes to pick, hair and make up to do, nails and toenails to paint, (branded) handbags to complete the image, and so on and so forth.
Jojo and Sukma's wedding
These days back home, people also try do unique wedding party too. I just found out in my friend's facebook that he went to a wedding party which happened inside the national library. Very quirky,I think, and cool at the same time.
Eka and Sesi's wedding, which I missed
Now.. drumroll...the wedding of the year is

                     Mr. Carson and Mrs. Hughes from Downton Abbey

They are the servants. Mr. Carson is the butler and Mrs Hughes is the head housekeeper. Although they are the servants, they are very dignified and respected. Even the owner of the house would think twice to make Mr Carson cross.

Mrs Hughes or Elsie Hughes is called Mrs Hughes even though Ms. is more suitable. But the head housekeeper always called a. Mrs.

Yes, from the deepest part of my heart I congratulate Mr. and Mrs. Carson.
To be honest, I felt happier watching their marriage than that of Lady Mary.
