This
novel contains 13 experiences of the author (Raditya Dika) that are packed into
one novel. This definitely fit the title of this novel contains of the author's
love stories who packed into a comedy that can make the readers laugh because
of his humor and silliness. The story in the novel is the real experience of
the author. Cinta Brontosaurus novel tells the daily story of an author
named Raditya Dika, who was born on 28 December 1984. This novel begins
with his love story moment in elementary school. When he was in elementary
school, he like a girl in his class named Lia. He decided to write a love
letter to her. In order to look cool, he plans to write a letter in English. He
meant to say "I think about you every night" in English. But , he
just knew the sound, do not know how to write it. "I thing of you
every ..." knowingly he began to write. But how to write 'Night'? Fortunately,
at that time there was Masked Rider Knight impressions. He thought it must be a
way to write 'Night'. Without thinking, he went on to write "I thing of
you every knight". But it turns out the girl had lived in America. Instead
of responding to the Dika’s love letter, in her reply, Lia instead criticize
the wrong words in his love letter.
The
story above is just one of several stories in the book "Cinta
Brontosaurus". By using the first-person perspective, this book becomes
interesting because it is peppered with Dika’s silly thoughts.
The
advantages of this novel is on the way of delivering an interesting story. That
is by using daily language that are easily understood by the reader. And he is
telling a story that actually tragically, be "ridiculous" which
can make us laugh and smile when reading this novel. Beside from the way of
delivery, the advantages of this novel is the content of the stories is
interesting, funny, and entertaining.
Disadvantages
of this novel perhaps only in words rather vulgar and not censored, but it did
not become a big problem because all covered with interesting storytelling. I
think this novel will be great when added to other stories, not just about
romance stories.
Recently, I am interested about
something. It is a song. A Korean song. I do not know why it can be like this.
That song makes me have a lot of questions. I am very curious about the meaning
of this song and my curiosity took me to "The Most Lonely Creature in the
World" story. Seriously. I cried when I read the story about it for the
first time. The meaning is very deep and very touching ! I was very impressed
to the songwriter. The title of this song is
Whalien 52. It is very unique, right ? It is very unique, even just by
reading the title of the song can make us curious.The singer is Bangtan
Boys from South Korea. Because this is a Korean song, I have to find the
translation to understand it.
“Lonely
lonely lonely whale~”
It is one of the lyric that I know
because it is in English. From it, I know that it tells about whale. After I
searching the whole lyrics, I can understand the meaning of this song. Whalien
52 is abbreviation of whale + alien and
52 is a frequency of 52 hertz. Amazing.
******************
One day, My friends and I go to the
library. We want to find more information
about the whalien. We are very interested in the story that inspired the songwriter
in writing this song. How they could have thought to pick up the story of
whalien as their song? What they want to
say to us? These are a few questions that popped up in my mind.
“Whalien 52 is unlike the other whales.
It is a kind of whale that sings at a very high frequency (52 Hertz), so nobody
can hear it! ” My friend, Roy, looked very surprised after he reads the article
about whalien 52.
“Do you know? Normally, the whales are
unable to hear the frequency more than 12-25 hertz. For humans, it is special.
But for the group of whales, it is regarded as an alien. Whalien does not have
friend or couple because it can not communicate with other whales. Due to this,
it is a very lonely creature that always travels by itself.” Berlyn said. Her face
looked sad. “ It is very touching.”
“I know I know I know ! I think the
singers of whalien 52 tried to tell us that the lonely whale in this is song is
theirselves. Sometimes they feel that they are alone, everybody says different
things from them, nobody would not listen to them. But they can shine brightly,
they can emerge from the deep and dark ocean, and they want to fight this
loneliness. As the whale has to continue believing in its hertz, they have to
believe in their voices and songs, the things they want to share through them.
By doing this, one day the whale will be heard by other whales even from the
other side of the earth and they will be heard by other people in the world.
Nobody will be lonely again.” Chacha said. We all agree with her opinion.
“Wow! Bangtan Boys, You guys are amazing !” I
give my two thumbs up for them. “I am very impressed to the songwriter. They are
very genius people I think. Many people like to complain, whine, grumble, and
many more. But, we have better luck compared with the whalien. At least, you
are not alone in this world and there are people who can hear your crying and
your screaming. So we have to be grateful for what is already given by God.”. I
close the whalien 52 story book. We all are smiling.
“Yes… we are not a whalien~~”
^^ The End ^^
Whalien 52
The
most lonely creature in the world
You
wanna know my story
I never
told this to anybody
In
the middle of this ocean,
One
lonely whale cries
No
matter how much it shouts, no one can hear it
So
lonely it just stays quiet
No
matter who I was back then, it’s whatever now I don’t care
When
loneliness is by my side
I
become completely alone, sadness filling the lock
Have you ever imagined
that there is a hotel for monsters such as Frankenstain, Big Foot, Zombies, Mummy,
Werewolf, etc?
“Even Monsters Need A Vacation”
Yes. There is a hotel
which exists in the isolated woodland and owned by Mr. Count Dracula.
Mr. Count Dracula
He built that five-stars
hotel far away from human because he wants to build a safe hotel for the
monsters that want to take rest from human civilization. We have to pass
through a haunting woodland and graveyard to go there.
Mr. Count Dracula and his daughter, Mavis
Mr. Dracula has a daughter named Mavis. His
wife, Martha was killed by human. So, he is very protective to Mavis and he
also tries to protect her from human civilization. However, she is very
interested in the outside world, especially Hawaii.
On
Marvis’s 118th Birthday, her father wants to celebrate it and he
will grant her daughter’s wishes, that is to leave the castle and explore the
human civilization. But, that all is only Mr. Dracula’s strategy. He made a
plan using zombies that disguised as human to frighten her. He succeed to make
Marvis does not want to go there again. But, unexpectedly human visits Hotel
Transylvania because of that.
Jonathan arrived at Hotel Transylvania
His named is Jonathan, a
brave traveller. He was lured by the zombies to the hotel when he saw something
on fire. At the moment he arrived at hotel, he think that there is costume
party. Mr.Dracula is very panic when he know that there is human comes to his
hotel. He disguises him as a “Johnnystein”
In this movie, Jonathan and Marvis are falling in
love. In the beginning, Mr. Dracula did not accept Jonathan because he is a
human. But, in the end of this movie, he accepts him. Mr. Dracula choose his
daughter’s happiness.
Although there are some
soft frightening scene, I think this 3D movie is entertaining, nice and appropriate
for all ages. It has colorful characters, great animation, laughable moments,
and has great voice cast. There are also dancing and singing scene. I like the
way of Mr. Dracula protecting and making her daughter be happy. It is the movie
that very enjoyable for family !
The rain is still falling
when I wrote this
As I look at the raindrops that knock on my windows
I remember all the memories about you
I do not know why you appear in my mind, suddenly
But one thing that you have to know,
My feels for you, it is true
People
said that, there is no perfect man in the world
But you are so perfect for me
I am only one among the millions of people that admire you
You are getting higher there,
And I am getting smaller here
But It is no problem for me though
Although you do not know my existence, I will always support you
My admiration, will be secret
I am your secret admirer~
- This poetry tells about
a girl who is falling in love with someone. But she can not have him. He is so
far away from her, so it is impossible for her to meet him. She takes the
feeling positively and enjoy the moment by supporting him from far away -
