The Truth is Written All Over Your Face

Unlike my friends, I'm not a huge fan of serial movies. I often watch one or two episodes, then I get bored. GossipGirls bores me, Glee disgusts me (sorry Gleeks), Modern Family makes me frown. Only two that have stolen my heart and blown my mind. One is How I Met Your Mother (not gonna talk about this one now), and the other is : 


Yes, yes, yes, this one has blown my mind away, made me gasp over and over and over again. It's about a man, Dr. Lightman, an expert of micro-expression. He geniusly spots murderers lies, just by talking to them and reading their faces, gestures and voice tones. It's so hard to believe that one can really detect others' lies only by seeing their faces or listening to their voices. I thought it was so judgemental. 

But it turns out that micro-expression reading has scientific proofs. "Lie To Me" is inspired by a figure named Paul Ekman. He is a micro-expression expert. I just just knew this after I watched "Secrets of Body Language" in History Channel. It was sooo interesting. 

What is micro-expression : A microexpression is a brief, involuntary facial expression shown on the face of humans according to emotions experienced. They usually occur in high-stakes situations, where people have something to lose or gain. Unlike regular facial expressions, it is difficult to fake microexpressions. (wikipedia.com).
There are 7 universal micro expressions : 
There are others 3000 micro-expressions Ekman found. He often reads politicians' micro expression, gestures, and voice tones. You can see it in Lie To Me too. Like this one, 



Ekman said, "Bill Clinton’s famous, 'I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky' is a big ‘ol lie revealed in the corners of his mouth, as well as in the “distancing” language he used, “that woman”. Or US vice-presidential candidate, Sarah Palin, despite her winking bravado, showed her fear of the press by the position of her eye lids". In History Channel they said that when Clinton said "I never told anybody to lie" he shook his head, but not when he said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman".

In "Lie To Me" I found a speech of Barrack Obama, talking about how he respected McCain. When they zoom in to Obama's hand, his middle finger pointed unconsciously, like this. LOL
Well they say, "93% of human communication's non-verbal.When you found conflict between words and body language,you gotta trust the body language" 

What do you say?

unmotivated

I can say I'm a quite optimistic person. I'm full with dreams and obsession, I always have plans for my life and I'm always sure that I can be whatever I wanna be.

But there are times, like this, when myself cannot cooperate with me. I know what I have to do, I know the steps so well, but I just don't feel like doing it. I just don't want to. I always ended up doing nothing, alone, in my room, while I know I have many things to do to catch my dreams.

Why am I so unmotivated?

Baking Time : Chocolate Lava Cake

5th term is over and now it's time for holiday. Walaupun ga libur2 banget karena masih ada acara pelantikan di kampus dan sweet17 klien (fyi, me and my friends are running a party organizer now :D), tapi lumayanlah, I have enough time for myself, family, friends, and FOOD! Entah kenapa beberapa saat ini gw lagi suka masak. Dari dulu udah suka sih, tapi skrg lebih suka lagi. Mungkin karena keseringan nonton Master Chef dan Top Chef. And now I wanna share a recipe I've tried last New Year Eve. It's amazingly DE-LI-CIOUS, and it's from my favorite cooking master's yuotube channel : Nicko's Kitchen :D (

Enjoy,

that's just it

It's not that I wouldn't admit, it's just I wasn't realize about this
My days was so full
Full of things to do
problem to solve
people to meet
promise to keep
So that time when we made that decision, I didn't feel anything at all
Okay, I was crying just for one day or two, then I suddenly forget about you
It was the easiest break-up I've ever had, easiest goodbye I've ever said
But now those days are gone
The things are done
Problem's solved
Promise's kept
Mission fully accomplished
I have many time to think, to rethink. and re-rethink
And I start constantly thinking about you, about us, and God, I hate it.
Every time I'm alone, like this, like now. I force myself to get busy. I buy dozen of DVDs, I read books, I text, I tweet, I blog.
But the memory is still here, yes. You're still here, in my mind. But that's just it.
