Make-Up Mistakes of 'Harry Potter 7 - Part. 2'

Now, I’d like to share about the make-up mistakes of ‘Harry Potter 7 - Part 2’. Apparently, the stars of Harry Potter would be quite happy, because they don’t become separated from their main opponent and their friends on the set. The reason is they all must get together and shoot again for the second time because of errors make up for the final scene.

Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint were sad, because the film that they were played for the last 10 years must end. But they can be relieved because they could reunite in repeated shooting of ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part. 2’.

Reshooting came after the producers saw a mistake in the last scene where all of them should look like a young couple who accompany their children to school. But, apparently the make-up used 'excessive', so they just look too old.

"The actors and crew used to joke with this movie called Harry Potter and The Costly Hallows.", said a reliable source. This is reasonable enough, because the cost to shoot this repeated scene is millions of dollars. And they must rebuild the King's Cross Station.

While it was hard for the bosses, who reportedly did not smile even once, but the crew and the players take it as a good news.

"They're all pretty sad to be separated with the filming process which they work in, so this becomes a good news for them because they could come back.", added the same source.

Vocabularies :

• Apparently : used when the real situation is different from what you thought it was.
• Opponent : a person who disagrees with something and speaks against it or tries to change it.
• Set : the place where a film or play is performed or recorded, and the pictures, furniture, etc. that are used.

Dalam Mihrab Cinta

‘Dalam Mihrab Cinta’ Publisher Republika and Basmala Islamic Boarding School. A novel entitled 'Dalam Mihrab Cinta’ is the newest Islamic novel by one of my favorite authors, Habiburahman El-Shirazy - or Kang Abik - after the previous novel Ayat-ayat Cinta, Pudarnya Pesona Cleopatra, and Ketika Cinta Bertasbih. As for other creations which form an Islamic stories entitled Ketika Cinta Berbuah Surga and Di Atas Sajadah Cinta, they were published around June 2007 at the Jakarta Book Fair event in Jakarta Istora. Basically, the book is not a novel such as those described in previous novels. That book consists of three novelettes. Third novelettes consisted of three stories: 1) Takbir Cinta Zahrana, 2) Dalam Mihrab Cinta, and 3) Mahkota Cinta.

Although the book consists of three stories, between the story and the other one has the same conclusion at the end of the story. The conclusion is the author wants the novel invites the reader to always be positive thinking, attempt or endeavor, patience, trust, and of course cast all his business only to Allah when we do what we try and we wish. More than that, the author would like to invite its readers to always have hopes and ideals to be realized. Therefore, in every books of Kang Abik, he always puts under the big title with the phrase ‘A Novel of Life Builders’ (Novel Pembangun Jiwa).

It's true. Every time we read his books we will always be invited and feel motivated by him through his books. For example in a novelette entitled 'Takbir Cinta Zahrana’. In this story, the author tells about a beautiful woman named Zahrana. She is a woman who prioritizes education or science. With her love of science, it is no wonder if she taught as a lecturer at a university in Central Java after completing her master. However, with all her advantages, there’s one thing less and makes her parents definitely sad. She still has no the desire to get married. Until one time someone asked her to marry, but unfortunately the man didn’t conform as her choice. Because her choice is a man who has a better religious quality than her. However, she is unyielding and not easy to despair. Because of that, she’s diligently trying to get closer again to our creator by tahajud, hajat, and istikharah praying. And praise be to Allah, after going through the various obstacles, pray of hers was granted surprisingly. It turned out that her husband is a student who she taught.

The same thing happened to two other stories that are ‘Dalam Mihrab Cinta' and ‘Mahkota Cinta'. So it obviously shows how Kang Abik invites the readers to have a spirit of sailing the ocean of life. And very appropriate if the novel be the best seller with positive category. As an introduction of ‘Dalam Mihrab Cinta’, Kang Abik will make the romance more specific. It has been taken to the Indonesian Film Industry and one of novelettes, Dalam Mihrab Cinta, will be launched first at Cinema on December 23, 2010.  It’s just a few days away, and I won’t miss it.

The Complications of Learning English

         In learning English, there are too much complications I found. Such as in the Structure of English or Grammar, we learned about the tenses in active and passive form, how to make good sentences?, modals, conjunctions, clause and so on. In Listening and Speaking Lesson, we studied how to listen carefully the conversations, songs, and much more with the native speakers of English, and how to speak English fluently and with good pronunciations and confidence. In writing lesson, we have to know how to make good sentences in a paragraph, where to put the punctuation marks, capitalization, main idea, and supporting ideas. Then the sentences must use the appropriate tenses. That was really complicated, I've learned part of them so far, and I realize they're not that complicated. The hardest part that makes me a bit crazy is Listening and Writing English.
         Two biggest hurdles in learning  English. First is in the listening part, I felt there is something wrong with my ears, because I can't hear something clearly only once. That's why it's hard for me to catch what I heard, even in the dialogues or songs. I hate being like this and I just want to be better. Second is in the writing part, I often confused, what to write if I get some writing tasks. Actually, I don't really like writing. But, when I knew that writing is one of the important things in learning English, I tried to accustom myself to write everything in English. Fear and confusion, two words that can describe what I feel, when I start writing something. Because in writing, I must be careful with the punctuation marks, capitalization, tenses, topic, main idea, supporting ideas and much more things that I haven't learned yet.
         English Language is fun. You will realize, when you explore it actually. Don't ever felt despair in learning everything that good for you. Because, If there is a willingness inside of you, you will find a way to make it happen.

Vocabularies :

• Appropriate : Suitable, acceptable or correct for the particular circumstances.
• Hurdle : A problem or difficulty that must be solved or dealt with before you can achieve something.
• Accustom : To make yourself familiar with something or become used to it.
• Fear : The bad feeling that you have, when something bad might happen.
• Confusion : A confused situation in which people do not know what action to take.

_My leisure activities_

          What do you do in your leisure time ? In my leisure time, I much spend my time in my home, especially my lovely room, although my room is so simple, I always feel comfortable being in it. Sometimes, I could clean my room up, because on weekdays I'm not always have a time to clean it up. I could do everything there, such as doing my homework, watching movies, listening the music, playing games, browsing, chatting, opening my blog and much more. I like modifying my blog and decorating somethings, whatever it is, when I browse the internet, first site I open is my blog then my Mailbox, Facebook, Twitter and so on. I rarely leave the house, if it just for fun and wasting my time, because the rules in my home it's really tight. I couldn't go anywhere without permission and good reasons, I'm used to all the rules, but sometimes I feel my parents are over protective to me. That's all what I do in my leisure time.

           I was sick. Since a week ago, on Wednesday night I felt really faint and tired. My throat is sore and difficult to swallow. But I still forced my self to do my task in my friend's house on Thursday, because I had to finish it that day. Me and my friends were typing and discussing about the topic, which to be presented on Friday. In the day before evening, I felt chill all over my body, but I ignored it and continue my work.
