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.. (*)

Review #1 Trilogi Jendela-Jendela, Pintu, dan Atap

Akhirnya saya menamatkan trilogi Jendela, Pintu, dan Atap karya Fira Basuki. Membaca buku ini terbilang cukup telat mengingat buku ini ditulis pada tahun 2001 dan sudah mengalami 10 kali cetak ulang.  Untuk pertama, saya ingin mereview buku Jendela-Jendela.Review berikutnya akan ditulis terpisah. Nah, sebelumnya saya bukanlah pembaca Fira Basuki. Sejauh ini saya hanya membaca buku Astral Astria dan Biru karyanya. Dua buku yang ditulis kemudian setelah menuliskan trilogi ini.  Jendela-jendela bercerita tentang seorang perempuan bernama June yang mengalami cukup banyak perubahan dalam hidupnya. Mulai dari kuliah di Amerika, menjadi editor majalah Cantik di Indonesia, kemudian menikah dan pindah ke Singapura. Menepati rumah susun sederhana dan menjadi ibu rumah tangga. Ceritanya mirip-mirip hidup saya pas bagian ibu rumah tangga. Hahaha.  Transisi hidup yang cukup glamor saat kuliah di Amerika dengan tanggungan orang tua serta limpahan hadiah mahal dari pacarnya ke kehidupan...

Hilang ..(Lagi)

Aku tak menemuinya lagi di dapur belakang.Entah di mana lagi dia kini. Mungkin di bawa seseorang tanpa permisi (lagi). Yah,ini kedua kalinya barang-barangku hilang.Kali ini aku tak yakin kapan hilangnya. Telah lama aku tak menggunakannya.aku lebih memilih untuk makanan di luar. Mungkin ini juga aksi protesnya karena tak pernah di pakai. Ya…seperti yang selalu mama bilang “mungkin ada seseorang di luar sana yang lebih membutuhkannya” Kali ini tak usah bilang pada Etta. Biarlah aku menggantinya sendiri. Nanti,ketika aku tak lagi tinggal di pondok safar…

Namun tak ada yang benar-benar mengenal Jay Gatsby. Siapa ia, bagaimana latar belakangnya, tak ada yang peduli. Para penikmat pesta itu menganggap menghadiri pesta meriah Gatsby merupakan upaya memberi identitas pada diri sebagai kaum jetset dan borjuis.  Hingga suatu hari Carraway menerima undangan khusus dari Tuan Gatsby untuk hadir di pestanya. Di sinilah awal perkenalan Carraway dan Gatsby. Sekalipun Carraway tidak terlalu mengenal Gatsby dan tidak mengetahui asal usulnya serta bertindal cukup hati-hati pada Tuan Gatsby, Carraway menemukan sifat yang tulus dari Gatsby. Carraway akhirnya mengetahui bah...
