About My Hobby

Hi There! My name Selvia Devy Hartanti. 20-years-old college student who is usually called Pia by my friends. I am currently undergoing on final level courses. Did not feel I was in the final stages of the course. It seems like just yesterday I started the lecture hehe.

Alright. Here I have the task of having a hobby. But before I tell you about my hobby, of course you guys must already know what is the definition of a hobby right? I think hobby is an activity that usually or often people do, in his spare time, to please themselves. Does everyone have a hobby? Certainly has. No exception for me.

Actually, I have many hobbies. But I will only tell two hobbies that most often I do. One is listening to music. Why music? It seems not a hobby huh? I do not just listen to music. I explore. Explore the genre / song what I have not heard of and enjoy, then I input it into my playlist. Of course in addition to please myself.

When it comes to music, all music fans definitely got their idol respectively. Including me. For the country, I choose Raisa. Besides her undoubtedly voice quality, she has a good music taste too. Brian Mcknight and Alicia Keys are most influential musicians to Raisa. Raisa always look beautiful, I wish I could be like her.

From abroad, currently I'm idolizing Ariana Grande. Young, talented, and has a good voice. Very inspiring. Starting from the song Almost Is Never Enough, to the song Love Me Harder that I listen most now.

My second hobby is watching movies. Sounds usual, but I really like to watch movies. Various types of movie genre, from animation, comedy, drama, horror, to the action. Just like music, I love to explore. Trying movie genre what I have not seen. Finding out what is typical of various movie director, especially abroad renowned director.

Like how Michael Bay, Transformers movie director who loved by a lot people, make a movie with lots of explosions and the effects are so real. How James Wan, director of horror movies that love making “sadistic killings” scene like in his movie SAW, or a scene full of "surprises" like in the movie Insidious series and The Conjuring. How James Cameron made the film Titanic, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio so memorable to this day. Or, what about Adam Sandler fill his films with his typical jokes. At least those are the little things that I know about the filmmakers outside hehe.

It is hardly fair if not discussing domestic movies as well. Although not much that I know about Indonesian movies.

One of the Indonesian movies that I like is the Laskar Pelangi adaptation of the book by Andrea Hirata. The movie tells a story about the struggle of how poor children in Belitung, to gain knowledge/ education. Struggle to find the 10^th students so that the class can be able start. The struggle for the distance between home and school, passing arid grass and through swamps filled with crocodiles. This movie is very touching. Very inspiring. I hope Riri Riza would make sequel after Sang Pemimpi (there are Edensor and Maryamah Karpov).

Alright. I think that is enough about my hobby. I just share a story of how I do and I know about my hobby. Hopefully my story can be entertaining to read. Maybe you guys have a more exciting and more unique hobbies, I would be happy to listen if you also want to share hehe.
