Apa bedanya antara nge-blog dan nge-snob?
*my thoughts after reading somebody’s post*
If I were a Palestinian
at this moment I would be wondering
if I could see the first light of the sun
tomorrow
alive.
If I were an Israeli
at this moment I would be wondering
if what I was doing is right and if
I would end up at the end of tonight
as a murderer.
If I were an American
at this moment I would be wondering
if my government was going nuts
supporting a country that would be
known in history as another barbaric
manic nation.
If I were a UN official
at this moment I would be wondering
why such a gigantic organization of
countries in the entire earth
was once again proven to be powerless.
If I were a human being
at this moment I would be wondering
how humanity is being undersized
and the rest of us can think, say, do nothing
on the face of mass killing.
Gaza
tons of ifs
which I myself can’t express properly in words.
Will it end?
In fashion, money doesn’t count. Body does.
*Lesson learned after spending hours of shopping at Semarang malls, trying to find an outfit that represents, and failing miserably*
Hari ibu di Indonesia dirayakan tanggal 22 Desember. Sebagai seorang ibu, makna hari ibu itu justru terasa sehari sesudahnya.
:Jalu bilang, “Masakan ibu enak sekali!”
Jalu: Ibu, dulu Ibu mau kasih nama aku siapa?
Ibu (saya): Gustiandaru Priyanto
Jalu: kurang panjang, eh, Bu. Kayaknya aku mau namaku panjang.
Ibu: Jadi kamu mau tambah nama apa?
Jalu: Jalu Gustiandaru Priyanto Chocolate Sprinkled Banana (dengan nada serius)
Ibu: Heh?
Setelah dua minggu bekerja di SoE dan karena Jalu, anak saya, sedang liburan kenaikan kelas (btw, dia naik kelas lohhh, walau pun dia tak pernah nggak belajar, dan rapotnya banyak yang ‘tidak tuntas’ hehehehe), keluarga kami memutuskan untuk bepergian ke Surabaya untuk mengunjungi keluarga-keluarga dari pihak Yudi, suami saya. So, setelah berjuang untuk mendapatkan tiket kereta (yang ternyata sudah habis, bis, bis!), kami memutuskan untuk naik bis patas ke Solo, disambung dengan bus patas lainnya ke Surabaya.
