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.. (*)

Punya KTP Amerika

Akhirnya saya punya KTP Amerika. Sok pamer? Mungkin iya. Gaya juga masuk dalam kategori itu. Secara selama ini saya cuma punya KTP Bone dan KTP Baubau. KTP Makassar saja nda punya sama skali. Padahal hidup di  Makassar hampir 5 tahun. Nah, dapat KTP Amerika yang disini lebih dikenal dengan nama State ID itu penting buat kelangsungan hidup saya di Athens. Meskipun tinggal 6 bulan lagi, tapi untuk mengisi dompet dengan kartu berbahasa Inggris saya anggap sedikit perlu. Biar sedikit gaya dan jadi kenang-kenangan kalo pulang nanti. Ngantri bikin State ID Saya sudah lima bulan tinggal di Athens dan baru ngurus State ID. Ckckckcckck. Padahal saya nda ada kerjaan di rumah. Telat pasalnya yang harus nemenin pergi ngurus sibuk kuliah. Pas musim libur ini baru deh sempat ditemani bikin. Saya menganggap penting State ID itu hanya karena persyaratan untuk menjadi anggota perpustakaan di Athens Library perlu pake State ID. Saya sangat ingin membaca serial ketiga The Lost Hero-nya Rick Ri...

Asyiknya Berkirim Kartu Pos

Kartu pos untuk teman-teman di Indonesia. Beberapa minggu ini saya lagi senang-senangnya berkirim kartu pos. Membeli kartu pos di court street. Menuliskan nama dan alamat yang akan dikirimkan. Menuliskan pesan yang akan disampaikan. Dan membawanya ke kantor pos dan memposkannya. Prosesnya itu begitu menyenangkan buatku. Terlebih lagi ketika orang yang saya kirimi kartu pos mengabarkan kalo kartu posnya sudah sampai, rasanya seperti mission completed deh. Selain mengirimkan kartu pos ke teman-teman di Indonesia, saya juga bergabung di Postcrossing . Sebuah web yang menyatukan para penggemar kartu pos seluruh dunia. Saya menemukan web Postcrossing ini tak sengaja ketika sedang mencari informasi berapa harga prangko untuk kartu pos luar negeri. Caranya gampang, daftar di webnya, kemudian kamu akan menerima 5 alamat yang harus kamu kirimi kartu pos. Saat pertama join kamu harus mengirim kartu pos. Ketika kartu pos itu diterima, maka alamat kamu akan disugesti untuk dikirimi kartu po...

Kacamata-Kacamata Yang Kita Gunakan

Sumber di sini Sore itu Kristina berdiri di depan kami. Beberapa vocabulary tertulis di layar proyektor. Kami sedang berdiskusi tentang jenis kota tempat tinggal kami. Rural town, College town, Indutrial town, Costal town. Tiap dari kami berusaha menjelaskan dengan bahasa Inggris terbata-bata tentang tempat tinggal kami. Buat saya, Makassar, kota yang boleh saya bilang rumah adalah semacam Mix Town. Kota pantai, juga kota pelajar. Makassar pun kota Industri. Kristina memberikan pandangannya terhadap kota-kota di Amerika. Di Amerika sendiri, jenis sebuah kota cukup gampang untuk dikategorikan. Athens misalnya, kota kecil yang serupa desa ini adalah colllege town. Universitas Ohio adalah kawasan paling luas di Athens. Ketika para mahasiswa libur, maka Athens serupa kota mati. New Jersey adalah suburban town dimana banyak orang yang bertempat tinggal di sana namun bekerja di kota New York. Sedangkan untuk kota Industri sendiri sudah tidak dikembangkan di Amerika mengingat mereka sed...
