Two Father and Son Movies

Real Steel

Set in the near future, where robot boxing is a top sport, a struggling promoter feels he's found a champion in a discarded robot. During his hopeful rise to the top, he discovers he has an 11-year-old son who wants to know his father.

Starred by Hugh Jackman as the father and Dakota Goyo as his son. Honestly I was really touched by their chemistry, eventhough at first I thought that it's just an action robot movie.

Being Flynn

Working in a Boston homeless shelter, Nick Flynn re-encounters his father, a con man and self-proclaimed poet. Sensing trouble in his own life, Nick wrestles with the notion of reaching out yet again to his dad.

I got interested first by the name of the two main casts: Robert de Niro and Paul Dino, which the first need not tobe questioned, while the latter I had known from "Little Miss Sunshine." It's based on a book which is also true story. Frankly, quite difficult to follow and comprehend, yet worth.

Powerless

Powerless

You hid your skeletons when I had shown you mine
You woke the devil that I thought you’d left behind
I saw the evidence, the crimson soaking through
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose

And you held it all
But you were careless to let it fall
You held it all
And I was by your side
Powerless

I watched you fall apart and chased you to the end
I’m left with emptiness that words cannot defend
You'll never know what I became because of you
Ten thousand promises, ten thousand ways to lose

And you held it all
But you were careless to let it fall
You held it all
And I was by your side
Powerless

And you held it all
But you were careless to let it fall
You held it all
And I was by your side
Powerless
Powerless
Powerless

Food Expo

Couple of weeks ago, my friends and I visited an expo held by the Central Java Government, especially the agricultural department. This event brought a lot of stands of food products coming from several regions in this province. They came with variations of crop products which can be considered creative, alternative and hopefully healthy, such as made from carrot, celery, pumpkin, sweet potato, banana, potato, fish and meat, and many more.

Here are some tasty foods I successfully brought home:

carrot chips

celery chips

sweet potato ice cream

and

tornado potato

gudeg

beef roll
