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.. (*)

Setelah Setahun

Sore ini saya menyempatkan diri ke Watampone. Ibukota kabupaten Bone tempat saya tinggal.Berjarak 20 km dari kampungku. Tak ada maksud lain. Hanya sekedar menemani orang rumah ke sana. Melihat-lihat keramaian. Awalnya sempat kuurungkan niatku untuk ikut. Sendirian mungkin baik buatku untuk menulis. Tapi rasanya aneh juga untuk sendirian di rumah. Anggaplah sekedar jalan-jalan, pikirku. Aku tak punya kenangan masa kecil di kota ini. Selain sebuah toko di pusat kota (biasa disebut sentral) bernama Naga Sari tempatku membeli majalah bobo dan majalah remaja. Yang disampingnya dulu entah sebelah mana ada toko kaset tempat kakakku membeli kaset dari Kahitna hingga Bon Jovi. Selain itu aku tak punya lagi kenangan tentang kota ini. Saat SMA kelas dua bersama teman mengikuti sebuah lomba tingkat kabupaten. Aku pun mulai mengenal lebih jauh lagi tentang kota ini. Ada sisi kota lain selain sentral. Sisi yang lebih ramai kala malam. Yang lampunya lebih banyak dan belum tidur saat jam 9 malam. Si...

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...

Megamind : Ketika Penjahat Menjadi Pahlawan

Bayangkan jika bayi superman tidak jatuh di lahan pertanian Mr. Kent di Amerika. Bayangkan jika bayi super itu jatuh di Rusia (Cinemags,November 2010)? Berangkat dari imajinasi itu dreamworks terilhami untuk membuat film animasi Megamind. Siapa Megamind?  Dia adalah makhluk planet lain berwarna biru sekujur tubuhnya dan memiliki ukuran kepala yang sangat besar. Seperti kepala anak pederita Hidrosepalus. Dia adalah penjahat paling keji kota Metro. Memiliki lawan tangguh bernama Metroman yang juga makhluk planet lain yang berbeda dengan Megamind. Film diawali dengan jatuhnya Megamind dari gedung tertinggi. Ia pun kemudian memikirkan bahwa itu adalah akhir hidupnya. Scene berganti dan ia pun menuturkan latar kehidupannya. Megamind kecil dimasukkan dalam rocket kapsul  bersama seekor ikan, penjaganya, bernama minion. Planet tempatnya tinggal tersedot oleh black hole di ruang angkasa.Rocket kapsulnya melesat ke angkasa. Ternyata tak cuma ia sendiri, seorang bayi dari planet ...
