We Spent Time Together


For many days, I never hanging out with my daughter Ara, never walking around Court Street and doing sight seen. Winter season was very cold. I couldn't stand outside without wearing winter coat and feeling frozen. It was also hard for Ara to go outside when she felt uncomfortable with her big winter coat. That’s why I stayed at home and played with her in my comfy apartment to watch snowflake fallen from the sky. We felt warm.

Flour power cupcakes
Yesterday was a breezy sunny day. The wind was cold, but the sunlight kept me feel warm. I went to OU-mini farmer's market in OU Howard Park, near the green statue. There were a lot of local vendors. They sold many things such as bakery, cake, pretzel, jellies, and many more. At the first time I just planned to sight seen, until I met the lady who sold flour power cupcakes.  I bought her brownies. When I saw cupcake, I suddenly remembered that I ever read information about these cupcakes in B Magazine. It was made me curious to know how delicious these cupcakes. Because of that, I bought one beautiful cupcake.

The sun was bright. I felt warm enough to sight seen on Court Street. Since several days ago, I wanted to go to Family Dollar, one of department stores in Athens. Then I walked to Family Dollar through Court Street, my favorite spot in Athens. I looked around. There were food trucks that sold many delicious foods including Buritto, Ali Baba, and the new one, that I forget its name. Court Street was very crowd. In the afternoon, restaurants and food cafes were full of people. I tried to recognize some restaurants that I ever read in Athens News. I felt very happy when I remember those restaurants.

Family Dollar is located in E Carpenter Street. It's quit far from Court Street. I was looking for puzzles and some stuff. At that place, I got a nice headband while Ara yelled out loud. She refused to sit on her stroller, then I tried to play with her and to put the headband on her head, but she always threw it away. Furthermore, I grabbed a flip phone toy. It was works. She sat and played with the toy.

I had a chance to choose puzzles, armband, and some stuff when she bored and started to stand on her stroller. I untied her. She laughed very happy and walked around near by my side. I thought she wanted to stand near my position. She forgot her flip phone toy when she saw a bunching ball. She cried aloud as a sign that she wanted to touch the ball. I was so happy when I gave it to her. You know why? That’s because the ball is cheaper than the flip phone.

I succeed to put the headband on her head while she was playing a bunching ball. She brought the ball and went to cashier. I was so happy when I got all stuffs that i need. I thought I didn't have to buy a flip phone. Hehehe.. (*)

Extreme Is Always Fun

Extreme is always fun . Hahahahaha. Kalimat ini bagiku sangat keren.Aku mendapatinya di komen fesbuk Echy. Echy memang selalu identik dengan kata ekstrim. Tapi sejujurnya, ekstrim salah satu kata favoritku selain serendipity, beranda, teras Imaji, mimpi, timurangin, sarasvaty, peribiru, dan banyak lagi :). Pasti ada saat dimana tiap kita membayangkan sesuatu yang ekstrim. Berteriak sekeras mungkin. Mengerjai orang lain hingga level marah yang palig tinggi. Mencium seseorang secara tiba-tiba (ini ekstrim menurutku). Melompat dari gedung tertinggi. Merubah dandanan 180 derajat. Tidak pulang ke rumah selama seminggu dan tidak menitip pesan. Atau melakukan hal-hal aneh diluar kewajaran. Ema menantangku utuk menuliskan daftar kelakukan diluar kewajaran yang pernah aku lakukan. Merujuk pada daftar yang pernah dituliskan Nida, salah seorang perempuan paling visioner di angkatanku. Hmmm…Ema sepertinya memancingku untuk menggali hal-hal ektrim yag pernah aku lakukan. Biarkan aku mengingat h...

Cermin

Kau bertemu denganku. Kembali melihatku dengan rutinitas yang khas diriku. Aku tampak kacau di matamu. Tak merawat diri katamu. Setelah lepas dari kantor aku tak lagi memperlakukan diriku seperti para karyawati yang selalu tampak modis dengan make up yang tetap melekat di wajahnya. Mungkin kamu rindu dengan pulasan blush on di pipiku. Rindu pada laku tanganku menyapukan debu berwarna di kelopak mataku. Meringis tertahan saat aku menjepit bulu mataku dan menyikatkan mascara halus agar mempertahankan kelentikannya. Kamu mungkin rindu pada lipstick yang memerah tipis di bibirku.Tak hanya terpulas tipis oleh sebuah pelembab tak berwarna. Kamu rindu aku memperlakukan diriku seperti dulu. Seperti laku yang baru kutinggalkan dua minggu lalu. Tak hanya kau yang merasakan perubahan itu. Aku pun merasakannya. Aku merasa begitu kucel dan kusut. Tak memperlakukan wajahku seperti dulu ketika aku bekerja. Mungkin ini yang disebut adaptasi. Menempatkan perlakuan-perlakuan yang seharusnya pada tempatn...

Serpih Pikiran

Aku tak punya kisah untuk dibagi kali ini. Aku hanya punya serpih-serpih kata yang numpang lewat saat istirahat siang atau kala jelang tidur. Mungkin ada kesamaan kisah yang tak sengaja. Atau mungkin ada cemburu yang memantik. Maaf...ini hanyalah sebuah Serpih Pikiran. Hanya sebuah fiksi yang sempat meminta ijin lewat di ruang tamu benakku. Serpihan Pertama : Aku merindukanmu. Masih kuceritakan padamu sebuah dongeng pekan lalu. Dan selang pekan itu semua telah berubah. Kau tak lagi menemaniku bercerita lewat dunia maya. Aku belajar mengucap pisah untuk deadline kepergian. Aku belajar (lagi) memaknai sebuah kehilangan dan keikhlasan. Masih kuingat kurangkai cerita yang mampu membuatmu tertawa dibenakku. Mengimajinasi tentang sebuah sua dan sebuah percakapan panjang Serupa pangeran bertemu putri. Semua rasa itu kini berubah. Rasa yang dihadirkan sang pangeran dan putri pun menghilang. Aku tersadar bahwa hidup adalah nyata dan dongeng-dongeng itu hanya imaji liarku yang keti...
