are you the one

Timo Tolkki feat. Sharon del Adel (Within Temptation)




lyric:

Are you the one?
The traveller in time who has come
To heal my wounds to lead me to the sun
To walk this path with me until the end of time

Are you the one?
Who sparkles in the night like fireflies
Eternity of evening sky
Facing the morning eye to eye

Are you the one?
Who'd share this life with me
Who'd dive into the sea with me

Are you the one?
Who's had enough of pain
And doesn't wish to feel the shame, anymore

Are you the one?

Are you the one?
Who's love is like a flower that needs rain
To wash away the feeling of pain
Which sometimes can lead to the chain of fear

Are you the one?
To walk with me in garden of stars
The universe, the galaxies and Mars
The supernova of our love is true

the lake house

it's about a love story in different times.
it's about waiting.
and it's started from a house, the lake house.


Kate left a letter for the next tenant of a house she had to move out, the lake house she occupied for several years recently. The strange happens when Alex received the letter though the time has been back two years back. They kept on writing letters, getting to know each others more, and realized that actually they had met before. Some memories, coincidences, and fate had reveal and even changed by their exchange letters. Yet, their love should wait.


Main cast: 
Keanu Reeves as Alex Wyler
Sandra Bullock as Kate Forster

Directed by: 
Alejandro Agresti

Written by:
David Auburn 

Date Release:
2006

Distributed by:
Warner Bros 


Comment:
I do love the story, lovely and meaningful, even though I got little bit confused, at first, with the gap of time between Kate and Alex. But it's getting clear and clearer when the story flows. The plot is intertwined, for example, about the fact that Alex's father was the person who built the lake house. Also, about many other coincidences and meetings that actually had been had by Kate and Alex. Moreover, I like the chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves, since their "Speed" together. What more is, I do like the letters stuff and Jane Austen's Persuasion.

1260 Anniversary

Last Saturday (July 24, 2010) was the peak event for celebrating my town's 1260 anniversary. There was a parade that being held and started from Major's house, walked along the main street and finished at the town square (Pancasila Square). Several streets are closed and guarded by police thus we had to walk to get there. It supposed to begin at 1 pm but got a little bit late at 2 pm.

These some pictures I took.
