My heart aches.

I was bored and reading Endymion again.

And..

I cried into tears. 

Oh my goodness,..

How in the world we made this..  story?

“Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime, and every kindness, we birth our future.” - Cloud Atlas


Cloud Atlas. Oh how awesome this movie is.
I just really love the plot, how they told 6 different stories in the same time, how they connected each other by each stories, and how they entered our mind with the 'reincarnation' concept slowly..
Cloud Atlas is a masterpiece, one of the most definitive to emerge in years, for it’s daringly ambitious, brilliant in scope, and wondrous in character development. 
They made us understand, feel what we didn't feel before. 
The idea of everything's connected is just... AWESOME.

Cloud Atlas
Eventhough at first, you'll got confused but slowly.. you'll understand how beautiful this movie is...

Cloud Atlas Sextet
Ah!
And don't EVER forget the score.
This is the list i love from the soundtrack :
1. Cloud Atlas Sextet
2. Death is only a door
3. The Message
4. Kesselring
5. Cloud Atlas (End Title)

Oh my, my.. you'll absolutely love the music. Specially for 'Cloud Atlas Sextet'


Jim Sturgess... Ben Whishaw.. Tom Hanks.. Halle Berry.. Doona Bae.. and many others actors that you'll recognize their transformation. You'll be absolutely enchanted by this movie !
I almost cried into tears when i watch the final.
The message.. everything was so great..
I even can't handle it anymore.

 And here are the cast & their transformation from Cloud Atlas :

Doona Bae
Ben Whishaw
 Ben Whishaw as Robert Frobisher.. can't handle the cuteness. I don't really like the character but the stories,. in the end makes me really broken hearted. Their love story is just too.. ugh.

Halle Berry
Hugh Grant
Hugo Weaving
Jim Broadbent
Jim Sturgess
Jim Sturgess! If you watch & remember this cute boy from '21' movie,.. you'll absolutely love his transformation when he did the 'Isaac' and specially 'Hae-Ju-Zheng' character.
Oh my god. Hae Ju Zheng Commander is just way too *nosebleed*

Susan Sarandon
Tom Hanks

“Our lives and our choices, each encounter, suggest a new potential direction. Yesterday my life was headed in one direction. Today, it is headed in another. Fear, belief, love, phenomena that determined the course of our lives. These forces begin long before we are born and continue long after we perish. Yesterday, I believe I would have never have done what I did today. I feel like something important has happened to me. Is this possible?”

Yay! Finally got the title 
and it's..
De Komst 

De Komst means 'The arrival' or 'The future'
but i prefer 'The arrival' because it's all about the arrival of the dutchmen to Indonesia.
It took a long time to decide the title because i want something more, different, and bold.
And finally, De Komst is the final answer and i do really excited with that :)

Ah, and this is what i doodled when i was in class during the indonesian language lesson ( I know, ain't nobody got time for that)
Doodling De Komst character.. started from Van Leiden, Vlahos, Astoria & Karina..
So much fun! And the chibis... xD so cute!
My favourite are.. Vlahos & Van Leiden.
Double hotties! Van Leiden with a good-looking nice guy & Vlahos with his masculine face.. ah. What a marvellous guy they are 

Oh, and this is doodled & edited by me with papelook 
must try the apps! 

De Komst character


////
De Komst : Vlahos & Karina
There are always songs for the mood whenever i write stories 
and now it's time for 'De Komst', my latest novel with fifi playlist i shared with you :)
Because the setting came from 1930-1940,
it's actually pretty hard to find the actual song from this year,
so i just picked some from the classic world war 2 albums
(specially from G.I Jukebox : songs from world war 2 you can hear it here and Classic songs from WWII)

Nah. And here it's my favourite album of all : 
'Always in my heart' from 'Classic songs from WWII'
If you read my novel, and found any songs that i meant in the books, i picked up mostly from this album :)
There is also the volume one and it's called : 
'Kiss the boys goodbye' 
But i didn't really listen to this part. I prefer the second one.
Classic song from WWII : Always in my heart
And this one, i didn't listen much to this because i have no copies of this album (yet)
but i listened it in youtube and actually it's very nice too :)

G.I. Jukebox: Songs From World War II

And here it is
playlist for 
'De Komst' 

Dutch nationality anthem, i really love the song :) first heard of this anthem from 'Oeroeg' movie, this anthem really takes me back to the colonialism era, reminds me a lot of the dutchmen. 

This song featured in 'De Komst chapter 21' when Karina & Vlahos did the ballroom dance together :') i really love the mood. Very lovely and.. romantic. Actually all of Dinah shore's song isn't fit with the year.. but well.. have no choice. This song is just way too great.

Featured in 'De Komst chapter 19 when Vlahos takes the dance with Astoria. I took this because this song is just really fit with what Astoria think about Vlahos :) 
And this is what i love from the lyrics : 

"To me he means a million other things 
For he's the one who taught this happy heart of mine to fly 
He wears a pair of silver wings.... 

An ordinary fellow in a uniform I love...

....Why, I'm so full of pride when we go walking 
Every time he's home on leave 
He with those wings on his tunic 
And me with my heart on my sleeve 
But when I'm left alone and we are far apart I
 sometimes wonder what tomorrow brings 
For I adore that crazy guy who taught my happy heart 
To wear a pair of silver wings"


How Astoria getting crazy about Vlahos.. 
How Astoria feel joy & happy when she's on his side..
This song is great ! 

Ah! All vera lynn's song are great but this one is my favourite! I really love dame vera's beautiful voice
 & the orchestra! really beautiful :') 

5. Always in my heart - Hal McIntyre & his orchestra
Sweet, Dramatic, and full of orchestra. This song is really suits with the mood, altough it's written for world war 2 (well, not really into my story..) but i really love how Hal describes the feeling.. wonderful !

*notes*
Dinah Shore & Vera Lynn collection is the best ! :D

Here it's,.. Dutch Military Officer from my latest fiction ' De Komst' ,
i only got 2 of them for today but i'll make sure i'll add more :)
Enjoy!

Col. Vincent Van Vlahos

Bold, serious  & tough guy.  He doesn't talk much, doesn't ask for help, and never let anyone see him upset. Doesn't talk about trivial things, and always get to the point. Likes to be unpredictable, but sometimes that's what makes him cause resentment.
Usually called by 'Vlahos', recently being assigned to Malang, Indonesia as a weapon specialist and ranked as Colonel. He has bright blonde hair and pure blue eyes. He also has a maid (not a maid actually, because vlahos forced her to work for him) named Karina. But, as you know, Karina do have a really tough mind like Vlahos and everything always ended up not very well. 


Vincent Van Vlahos

 Lt. Col. Heinrich Bakker

Vlahos only one friend. Loves Indonesia and always persuade him to understand the love of this country. Heinrich is the type of friend who understand a lot about his friend, including feelings & what to do. 
Sweet, temptating, and likes to smile. Heinrich is the kind of guy who'll get girls easily. He has emerald green eyes & hazel hair.
Worked in the same division as Vlahos, it is told that Heinrich has been experienced more in Indonesia than Vlahos. And that's why what makes him lovestruck with this country. He enjoys everything, specially girls, cuisine, whiskey, and jokes. He also has girl named Pratiwi, which's found that she's Karina's friend.

Anyway, You can see the Vintage version in my deviantart here :)

I hate being sick.
It has been a week i got my cough & pain all over my body.
And i got a mid exam.
So, yes, I'm feeling really sick with all of this.
Not just because of my cough, but also because the pressure i got in the class.
I know, it's only 4 months again we'll have the final 'final exam'
but, can't they just take it easy?

karina & vlahos : vlahos being sick

   
Karina & Vlahos : a serenade for vlavla

I know t the serious time.
But it doesn't mean that serious.

Well, dear my friend,
Study is like a game.
It'll be a really fun if you just take it easy,
but in the same time you're doing it good.

Oh. 
How i wish i could study abroad !

and in a parallel world, Vlahos is being sick too
i know it's funny, since vlahos is only my fiction character,
but i wrote him sick before i got sick.
So this means, indirectly, i got my disease from Vlahos HAHAHA

Poor my Vlavla.
He got so much mind right now.
same like me.
But he got Karina.
and i got nobody *yet*

Nah,
for all of you who haven't read Karina-Vlahos fiction ( De Komst ) ,
you must read 'em here right now!

Have fun with your weekend ! :3
