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.. (*)

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...

Maaf, Melupakan Ulang Tahunmu

Kami bertemu di jejaring sosial. Titik penanda onlinenya berwarna hijau. Aku tak menyapanya. Sibuk lihat-lihat hal terbaru di FB. Ia menyapaku lewat sarana chatting “DWIIIIII”. Aku bisa membayangkan lengking suaranya yang sudah terekam di benakku. “Hai cinta. Apa kabar?” sapaku. Kami lantas berbasa basi tentang keberadaan kami. Tiba-tiba ia menuliskan “Dwi nda lupa ki sesuatu?”. Aku yang dalam kondisi kelelahan dan masih memaksa diri berfacebook cuma menjawab”Apa sayang”. “Coba ki ingat-ingat dulu” katanya. Sempat terlintas dalam benakku apakah aku melupakan ulang tahunnya. Aku memang tak mengingat ulang tahunnya. Namun info di laman jejaring FBnya bisa membantuku mengingatnya. Namun tak kulakukan. Aku malah membalas di box chating “ apa sayang. Maaf nda bisa ka berpikir. Kelelahan ka dari kantor”. “Nda ji. Next time saja” jawabnya. "Apa?”kuketik kata itu. Kuklik info di halaman profilnya. Ketemui angka 20 Mei di info tanggal lahirnya. “Damn!!!” mengapa lupa. Kutukku dalam hati. ...
