Movie Review: How to Train Your Dragon

Hey! for you who haven't seen this movie yet, you should watch this movie as soon as possible! it has an interesting story to follow.

here is the story....The Viking island of Berk has been plagued by attacks from dragons that steal their livestock and burn their buildings. Hiccup, son of the village chief Stoick the Vast, is a scrawny teenager who tries to invent machines to take down dragons, both to prove his worth and to impress Astrid, a competent and competitive girl of his age. Hiccup's efforts only serve to get in the way. After another dragon raid, Stoick rallies a fleet to seek out the dragons' lair, while enlisting Hiccup in dragon-killing school under the tutelage of the village blacksmith, Gobber.

One day, between lessons, Hiccup discovers one of his contraptions has actually caught a Night Fury, the most dangerous dragon known. Unable to kill the helpless dragon, Hiccup instead cuts it free; the dragon briefly roars at him before disappearing into the forest. Hiccup returns later to find the dragon unable to leave a shallow glade due to a tail injury that prevents it from flying. By trial and error, Hiccup discovers a way to earn the dragon's trust and begins to care for it. He names the Night Fury "Toothless," for its retractable teeth. Soon after, Hiccup fashions a make-shift harness and prosthetic tail that allows Toothless to fly while he rides the dragon.

Hiccup is able to transfer his knowledge to the other species of dragons at school, appearing to conquer each one in battle and becoming the star pupil, much to Astrid's dismay. She discovers Hiccup and Toothless after a private conversation with Hiccup, Toothless seeing that Astrid was harming Hiccup comes to attack Astrid. Hiccup separates the two and tries to explain to Astrid about the situation. But before she can tell anyone else, Hiccup tries again to explain by taking her for a ride on Toothless. Toothless, not ready to accept Astrid, takes her at first on a wild and scary ride as a punishment for the cruelty towards Hiccup until she apologizes. When she does, he takes the two humans on a romantic flight. As they enjoy the ride, Toothless unexpectedly joins a horde of dragons flying towards a remote island with more stolen livestock. Watching from a distance, the three learn the dragons are forced to feed the livestock to a gargantuan dragon lest they be eaten themselves. Hiccup, Astrid and Toothless escape and return to Berk just as Stoick and the wounded fleet return, their search fruitless.

Hiccup is put to the final test the next day. When he tries to pacify the dragon, Stoick attempts to stop the battle, but he inadvertently angers the dragon, endangering Hiccup. Toothless hears Hiccup's cries, and flies in to save him, but ends up captured by the other Vikings. Hiccup is forced to reveal the truth, including discovering the dragons' lair. Stoick disowns his son and sets off with the fleet, using a restrained Toothless as their guide. Astrid inspires Hiccup to try and stop the Viking fleet with the help of the training dragons and the other teenagers. After quickly teaching the other students on training their dragons, they race off to intercept the fleet.

They arrive too late, as the Vikings have already encountered the gigantic dragon. Hiccup, Astrid and the others provide a distraction to allow the Vikings to retreat safely, but the boat on which Toothless is restrained sinks into the ocean. Hiccup attempts to free Toothless, but both are rescued by a now-repentant Stoick. Hiccup and Toothless lure the giant dragon into flight, eventually leading it into a head-first dive towards the ground. Toothless turns at the last minute to ignite the giant dragon's breath, prevent it from breaking out of the dive in time and killing it on impact. The maneuver causes Hiccup to fall from Toothless and black out, but the dragon races through the flames to save him.

Hiccup wakes up back on Berk, finding an eager Toothless greeting him. As he leaves his bed, he discovers one of his legs has been replaced by a prosthetic device. Outside, he is surprised to find the Vikings and dragons working together to rebuild their village--with the giant dragon gone, the other dragons are no longer forced to steal food, there being enough food for both dragons and Vikings. He is given a hero's welcome by Stoick, Astrid, and the other Vikings, and then flies off on Toothless to join Astrid and the other teens on their own dragon mounts.

why do I like this movie is that it tells about the struggle of a boy who never be considered by people around him, especially by his father. His father never listen to every single word he says. it really makes him down, but he never gives up! finally, he can make his father believe in his ability and the truth about dragon....

Flanel is Never Die, I Die!

ehem..ehem..

long time no see! (kata Bu Nurmahni artinya 'buta sejak lama',huakakaka...beuuhh)
alright, jadi gini niy ceritanya...dari kemaren2 gratisan modemku tu habis alias ludes, makanya aku gk update blog lagi, nah sekarang karena pulsa modemku udah tak isi (dengan segala uangku yang masih tersisa), jadi sekarang gk ada alesan lagi buat gk mandi! lha???
tapi yang paling beralasan ya karna kesibukanku ngerjain order kain flanel yg alhamdulillah masih banyak yang pesen...tapi sampe kewalahan gituu....



yaa...bayangin aja dari kemaren aku cuma mengandalkan satu orang karyawan yang merangkap asisten sekaligus manajer pemasaran dan satu lagi, kepala humas! nah, sekarang aku lagi nyari sumber daya manusia yang kira-kira bisa menambah jumlah anggota karyawanku yang membludag! beuuhhh


jadi, setelah menimbang-nimbang, menggali-gali, dan menggaruk-garuk badanku yang kian gatal (gara2 sering mandi, ups!), berikut adalah kriteria calon karyawan PT. TAURUS INDONESIA (Badan Ra TAU diuRUS-red):
1. bertangan terampil, lengkap kanan-kiri, dan mempunyai jari2 yang lentik dan lemah gemulai, hal ini dikarenakan menjahit kain flanel membutuhkan keluwesan jari2 tangan agar hasilnya bisa maksimal. tangan kanan digunakan untuk memegang kain, tangan yang lain untuk ngupil, eh salah! untuk memasukan jarum jahit.
2. kuat ngalong. otomatis. bekerja di perusahaan yang mempunyai orderan membludag seperti ini, dibutuhkan tenaga yang kuat melek mpe pagi, mpe mata bendul, mpe otak semromong, mpe laper lagi, dan efek samping lainnya, (beuhhh.....pantesan dikit pegawainya)
3. jarang mandi. yap! namanya aja PT. TAURUS, jadi karyawan harus menyesuaikan dan mendalami perannya sebagai karyawan di satu2nya PT terkemuka di Annida...beuhhh....

so, buat kamu2 yang berminat, daftar langsung aja ke toilet2 terdekat, eh maksudnya langsung hubungi aku aja. trus upahnya gimana?? tenang....gk perlu khawatir, upah 30% dari hasil penjualan, belum termasuk dipotong pajak 30% dari hasil penjualan...lhaa??? abis dong upahnya???
hehe....becanda kok, walopun kenyataannya juga gitu...hehe
haasshh...yah begitulah sekarang kesibukanku. gara2 kuliah males, jadi sebagai gantinya ya aku sibuk ngutak-atik kain flanel yang bisa menghasilkan uang untuk aku tabung. (btw, biaya kuliah semester ini kayaknya juga belum lunas tuh?? huhu).

walopun hasilnya gk seberapa, (apalagi banyak yg bilang kalo harganya tu kemurahan untuk hand made yg butuh waktu yang gk sedikit pula. yaa...gimana yaa...dari dulu aku gk tega kalo matok harga tinggi2,,) tapi namanya juga masih belajar, masih usaha kecil2an, yang penting dijalani dulu aja, itung2 wat nyenengin orang2 yang order. yaa...dimana2 kepuasan konsumen itu yang pertama, harga ke sekian. aku gk ngrasa terbebani kok,(kalo tugas kuliah baru lah terbebani, walopun bebannya gk terselesaikan alias gk ngerjain tugasnya! hoho), beginilah kalo kita melakukan apa yang kita senangi, gak akan ngrasa terbebani, sebaliknya, it will be really fun!

so, do what you love and get paid for it!

zzzzzzzzzzzzz..........

wah...agak vakum niy blogku, hmm ya gimana yaa...pengennya sih tetep bisa posting tiap hari, tapi orderan kain flanel n job dari Mas Heri sudah ckup bikin aku gak tidur malam ini! (emang biasanya tidur???) yaahh...gak juga sih, ngalong tetep berjalan, tapi tadi malem aku tidur jam 4 an! 2 jam kemudian aku bangun, anehnya aku gak tidur lagi bis sholat subuh, langsung aja tadi pagi aku ngadep laptop lagi!
haaassshhh....gila! doaku untuk gak ngantuk terkabul beneran! tapi dampaknya tadi pagi aku melanjutkan tidur di kelas, tepatnya di kelas Literary Criticism bareng Pak Bustami...he...maaf yaa Pak bukannya saya tdk menghormati kelasnya Bapak, tapi saya lebih memilih untuk melanjutkan nikmat Illahi pagi tadi --- tiduurr...he. untungnya tadi ada bangku kosong di belakang, plus, bapaknya matiin lampu pula! haaa....yaaa....sukseslah sudah tidurku di kelas tadi, walopun ada the evil ugly old woman disampingku yang gk henti2nya cekikikan ngetawain aku! Gondes! woi, gara2 ter-influence matamu juga aku jadi ngantuk kayak tadiiii.....dasar medusa tetap saja medusa, menyebarkan racun mata dimana saja....uups! (smoga orangnya gk baca,he)hmm...attaboyy...attaboyy....
