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.. (*)

Black Swan

Si angsa hitam jahat yang begitu licik merebut hati pangeran sehingga angsa putih harus mengalah dan mati dalam kesedihan. Swan lake adalah dongeng yang sering aku dengar saat kecil. Kadang pula aku nonton versi kartun berbienya di televisi. Namun, untuk versi anak-anak swan lake selalu berhasil mendapatkan cinta sang pangeran dan hidup bahagia selamanya. Sedangkan dalam film yang dibintangi Natalie Portman, Sang Black Swan menjadi benang merah cerita. Ia menjadi karakter yang menang. Seorang gadis baik-baik harus berusaha menghayati peran sebagai angsa hitam jahat agar ia mampu tampil sempurna. Setiap kita memiliki sisi black swan. Meski setiap hari berusaha menampilkan sisi angsa putih yang begitu baik, ramah, dan sopan. Tapi ada saat dimana sang angsa hitam bergerak diam-diam dari dalam diri kita. Muncul di bawah alam sadar manusia dan keluar begitu saja. Selalu ada potensi black swan dalam diri manusia. Aku menyukai karakter black swan. Ia ditakdirkan untuk jahat tanpa perlu unt...

Pride and Prejudice : I’m Bewitched

Tak pernah kusangka saya akan jatuh cinta pada film Pride and Prejudice. Waktu kuliah dan masa-masa belum punya anak, saya tidak pernah tergerak untuk menonton film ini. Prasangka saya terhadap film ini sudah tumbuh sejak memiliki versi Film India di tahun sebelumnya. Mungkin karena hal itu saya kemudian tidak tertarik menontonnya.   Namun karena episode-episode drama korea yang aku nonton udah habis, ditambah kebosanan pada topik medsos yang masih heboh dengan pilpres, dan juga pengaruh hari valentine yang menyebabkan algoritma lapak streaming merekomendasi film-film romantis menjadi sebab akhirnya saya menonton film ini Semuanya berawal dari ketidaksengajaan menonton Atonement yang diperankan oleh Kiera Knightley. Film ini cukup bagus, meski di tengah jalan saya udah kena spoiler via wikipedia dan rada senewen dengan endingnya. Tapi kecantikan Kiera Knightley tetap mampu membuat saya menyelesaikan film itu sampai detik terakhir. Saking senewennya dengan ending Atonement, sa...

Music Is Magic

Musik. Aku selalu menganggap bahwa ia adalah salah satu penemuan yang paling berpengaruh di dunia. Albus Dombledore pun bersepakat dengan itu. "Ah, music," he said, wiping his eyes. "A magic far beyond all we do here" (Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone). Musik dan lagu adalah sebuah sihir yang mampu merubah banyak hal. Mood, bahagia, sedih, dan bahkan kematian pun terekam indah karenanya.  Aku tak menguasai instrumen apapun. Dan jangan memintaku menyanyi satu lagu pun. Aku menikmati musik dengan cara berbeda. Mungkin agak berbeda antara musik dan lagu. Tapi disini, aku akan menyamakannya. Disini musik adalah sebuah lagu. Yang penuh lirik singkat namun memiliki arti yang sangat dalam.  Ia tak ada bedanya dengan puisi jika berdiri dalam sebuah larik-larik bait tanpa diiringi nada. Namun, ia kemudian menjadi begitu lebih membumi ketika bait-bait itu teralunkan bersama musik. Aku agak susah menikmati puisi. Beberapa baitnya...
