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.. (*)

Misteri Sepatu Menggantung di Kabel Listrik

Sumber : Athens News Sepasang sepatu menggantung lunglai di tiang listrik. kabel listrik tempatnya bergantung kokoh tak ingin melepaskan sepatu itu menghujam bumi. Pertama kali tiba di Athens, saya cukup heran dengan sepatu-sepatu yang tergantung di kabel-kabel listrik itu. Kutanya ke seorang teman bule tapi ia tak memberi jawaban yang memuaskan. Kupikir sepatu-sepatu itu dilempar begitu saja karena sudah dirusak atau tidak dipakai. Atau asumsiku yang lain adalah sepatu itu milih olahragawan yang berhenti dari profesi dan memilh menggantung sepatu. seperti pemain sepakbola. Tapi sepertinya asumsi olahragawan itu tidak benar, karena sepatu-sepatu yang menggantung di tiang listrik cukup mudah ditemukan. Jalan-jalanlah di seputaran Athens dan kau akan mendapati sepatu-sepatu menggantung di tiang listrik.  Uniknya sepatu yang digantung itu hanyalah sepatu-sepatu kets. Fenomena ini disebut Shoefiti dan terjadi diberbagai tempat di Amerika. Nyatanya bukan hanya saya saja yang penasar

Tentang Etta

Aku mungkin terlalu sering bercerita tentang ibu. Ketika ia masih hidup hingga ia telah pulang ke tanah kembali aku selalu mampu menceritakannya dengan fasih. Ia mungkin bahasa terindah yang Tuhan titipkan dalam wujud pada tiap manusia. Tapi izinkan kali ini aku bercerita tentang bapak. Pria terdekat yang selalu ada mengisi tiap halaman buku hidupku.Pria yang akrab kusapa dengan panggilan Etta, panggilan ayah pada adat bugis bangsawan. Kami tak begitu dekat. Mungkin karena perbedaan jenis kelamin sehingga kami taklah sedekat seperti hubungan ibu dangan anak perempuannya. Mungkin juga karena ia mendidikku layaknya didikan keluarga bugis kuno yang membuat jarak antara Bapak dan anaknya. Bapak selalu mengambil peran sebagai kepala keluarga. Pemegang keputusan tertinggi dalam keluarga. Berperan mencari nafkah untuk keluarga. Meski Mama dan Ettaku PNS guru, tapi mereka tetap bertani. Menggarap sawah, menanam padi, dan berkebun. Mungkin karena mereka dibesarkan dengan budaya bertani
