The ballad of Milo & Izzy

Remember my previous story about Milo & Izzy ? It's been almost 1 month now. On the first day, Milo just stayed up in my room the whole day. But after that, with baby steps they're getting closer and closer hahahaha! I dedicate these pics to my late Eyang Putri & Opa ♥

Weezer - Island In The Sun

One of my fave band, song and video.....wish I can play with the animals too :))

Milo & Izzy

I always wanted to have 1 cat and 1 dog in my house since I was a kid. I grew up a with a family who likes animals. Especially my father who loves animals, and I'm thankful for that. Oh and Opa & Eyang putri (Opa is my mom's father and Eyang putri is my father's mother) were an animal lover too. My father and his family used to have 13 dogs, 10 cats, goats, birds at their house (when my father was a kid).

I have Milo for about 6 years now...and now we have a new member in our house...Izzy the 2 months old beagle. Little things do count, my wish do come true.

Let's just hope they get along well...i'm sure they will :)

Smile :)

Have a nice day :)

We Bought a Zoo

I love animals and I loveee this movie :) Cameron Crow did a good job! First I read the book last year, Edwin my good friend, who's  made Postcard From The Zoo (one of Edwin's best movie, I'll post it too later) recommended me about We Bought a Zoo book. Since we're both love animals and zoo and we were talking about it :) I love the book! One of my fave book I've ever read :)

And a year after that, I was very happy to hear that Cameron Crow (one of my fave director for my fave movies like Almost Famous, Singles, Jerry McGuire) was directing this book into a movie. We Bought a Zoo was about Benjamin that has lost his wife. In a bid to start his life over, he purchases a large house that has a zoo. This is welcome news for his daughter, but his son is not happy about it. The zoo is need of renovation and Benjamin sets about the work with the head keeper, Kelly, and the rest of the zoo staff. But, the zoo soon runs into financial trouble. The staff must get the zoo back to it's former glory, pass a zoo inspection, and get it back open to the public.

Formerly known as Dartmoor Wildlife Park, a zoological garden located near the village of Sparkwell, on the south-west edge of Dartmoor, in the county of Devon in the South West of England. It had been opened in 1968 by Ellis Daw on farmland bought by his family in 1948. During a time of crisis, it was forced to close to the public on April 23, 2006. In August of that year, it was bought by the Mee family consisting of mother Amelia and brothers Ben and Duncan Mee, who reopened the zoo to the public in July 2007 after a major refurbishment. In the Hollywood adaptation of We Bought A Zoo, Dartmoor Zoological Park becomes, "Rosemoor Wildlife Park" set in California.

Cameron Crowe never fails to deliver heart warming drama comedies that make you laugh and cry.  Matt Damon and all the cast were great.

Good soundtrack by Jonsi and he put Sigur Ros' Hoppipolla and Bon Iver's Holocene too, two of my favorite songs :)

If you and your family are wanting to go see a movie, go and see We Bought A Zoo. It is the perfect film to tug at your heart strings, leave you with tears in your eyes, and hope in your heart :)

My Four Reasons for Hope (by Jane Goodall)

"It is easy to be overwhelmed by feelings of hopelessness as we look around the world. We are losing species at a terrible rate, the balance of nature is disturbed, and we are destroying our beautiful planet. We have fear about water supplies, where future energy will come from – and most recently the developed world has been mired in an economic crisis. But in spite of all this I do have hope. And my hope is based on four factors:

The Human Brain
Firstly, we have at last begun to understand and face up to the problems that threaten us and the survival of life on Earth as we know it. Surely we can use our problem-solving abilities, our brains, to find ways to live in harmony with nature. Many companies have begun "greening" their operations, and millions of people worldwide are beginning to realize that each of us has a responsibility to the environment and our descendants. Everywhere I go, I see people making wiser choices, and more responsible ones.

The Indomitable Human Spirit
My second reason for hope lies in the indomitable nature of the human spirit. There are so many people who have dreamed seemingly unattainable dreams and, because they never gave up, achieved their goals against all the odds, or blazed a path along which others could follow. The recent presidential election in the US is one example. As I travel around the world I meet so many incredible and amazing human beings. They inspire me. They inspire those around them.  

The Resilience of Nature
My third reason for hope is the incredible resilience of nature. I have visited Nagasaki, site of the second atomic bomb that ended World War II. Scientists had predicted that nothing could grow there for at least 30 years. But, amazingly, greenery grew very quickly. One sapling actually managed to survive the bombing, and today it is a large tree, with great cracks and fissures, all black inside; but that tree still produces leaves. I carry one of those leaves with me as a powerful symbol of hope. I have seen such renewals time and again, including animal species brought back from the brink of extinction.  

The Determination of Young People
My final reason for hope lies in the tremendous energy, enthusiasm and commitment of young people around the world. As they find out about the environmental and social problems that are now part of their heritage, they want to right the wrongs. Of course they do -- they have a vested interest in this, for it will be their world tomorrow. They will be moving into leadership positions, into the workforce, becoming parents themselves. Young people, when informed and empowered, when they realize that what they do truly makes a difference, can indeed change the world. We should never underestimate the power of determined young people. 

I meet many young people with shining eyes who want to tell Dr. Jane what they've been doing, how they are making a difference in their communities. Whether it's something simple like recycling or collecting trash, something that requires a lot of effort, like restoring a wetland or a prairie, or whether it's raising money for the local dog shelter, they are a continual source of inspiration. My greatest reason for hope is the spirit and determination of young people, once they know what the problems are and have the tools to take action. 

So let’s move forward in this new millennium with hope, for without it all we can do is eat and drink the last of our resources as we watch our planet slowly die. Let’s have faith in ourselves, in our intellect, in our staunch spirit and in our young people. And let’s do the work that needs to be done, with love and compassion."

--Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE

"If we are the most intellectual creature that has ever walked on the planet, how come we're destroying that planet?"

“Change happens by listening and then starting a dialogue with the people who are doing something you don't believe is right.”

“Chimpanzees are suffering horribly for our entertainment.”

“My mission is to create a world where we can live in harmony with nature.”

"Every individual matters. Every individual has a role to play. Every individual makes a difference."

"The greatest danger to our future is apathy."
