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.. (*)

Dongeng Kita

Siang ini aku terjaga dari tidur panjangku. Seperti seorang putri tidur yang terbangun ketika bibirnya merasakan hangat bibir sang pangeran. Tapi, aku terjaga bukan karena kecupan. Namun karena aku merasakan indah cintamu di hariku. Mataku tiba-tiba basah. Aku mencari sebab tentang itu. Namun yang kudapati haru akan hadirnya dirimu. Memang bukan dalam realitas, namun pada cinta yang telah menyatu dengan emosi. Kita telah lama tak bersua. Mimpi dan khayal telah menemani keseharianku. Tiap saat ketika aku ingin tertidur lagu nina bobo tidak mampu membuatku terlelap. Hanya bayangmu yang selalu ada diujung memoriku kala kuingin terlelap. Menciptakan imaji-imaji tentangmu. Kadang indah, kadang liar, kadang tak berbentuk. Tapi aku yakin ia adalah dirimu. Menciptakan banyak kisah cinta yang kita lakoni bersama. Aku jadi sang putri dan dirimu sang pangeran itu. Suatu imaji yang indah...

Tak Ada Resolusi

New year celebration in New York (reuters.com) Mungkin agak basi jika menuliskan tentang tahun baru. Hari ini sudah dua Januari. Di belahan bumi lain sudah memulai 3 Januari. Puncak tahun baru adalah 31 Desember tengah malam dan Januari pertama. Tapi kupikir tak ada salahnya menuliskan tentang tahun baru. Penumpang bus masih tetap saling mengucapkan selamat tahun baru sekalipun penanggalan tak lagi pada angka satu. Seperti tahun baru yang lalu tak ada gegap gempita perayaan atau sekedar menyalakan kembang api. Sekalipun dirayakan di negara berbeda. Perayaan adalah pilihan pribadi. Segala riuh rendah tergantung individu. Tahun baru kemarin tak ada perayaan istimewa. Hanya berkunjung ke rumah teman Indonesia dan makan bersama. Pulang sebelum malam larut. Sebelum kalender berganti bilang. Resolusi selalu menjadi trending topik saat tahun baru. Mungkin seperti anak tangga baru yang harus ditapaki. Memulai dari awal. Menjadi awal baru untuk hati yang sedang sedih. Meyakinkan hati ...

A Very Yuppy Wedding

  Judul : A Very Yuppy Wedding Pengarang : Ika Natassa Penerbit : Gramedia Pustaka Utama Harga : Rp. 45.000 Genre : Metropop  Nilai subjektif dari saya :3,5 dari 5 Don't judge!!! Saya kembali membaca buku Ika Natassa yang lain. Buku ini adalah buku kedua yang saya baca dan buku ketiga dari Ika yang saya resensi. Kenapa saya membaca Ika Natassa lagi? Karena cerita metropop yang dia sajikan tidak biasa. Tidak seperti cerita-cerita metropop yang saya beli secara acakadul cuma sekedar terpancing oleh sinopsis dua paragraf di sampul belakang. Setelah membaca Divortiare, saya tertarik membaca kisah lain yang dituliskan Ika. Karenanya Antologi Rasa dan A Very Yuppy Wedding menjadi buku buruanku. Sayangnya si toko buku kemarin saya tidak melihat Twitvortiare. Kalo ada bakal masuk kantong belanjaanku juga.  Nah, A Very Yuppy Wedding adalah buku pertama Ika Natassa. Bercerita tentang Andrea, banker salah satu bank terbesar di Indonesia yang berpacaran dengan teman kerjanya sendiri,...
