7:47 AM



Ahkirnya ni film keluar juga di rental2 film, lebih tepatnya warner seh secara gw udah kaga di ultra lagi! Duh kalo ga kepaksa, ga bakalan gw minjem film di ultra udah mahal ga lengkap lagi pokoknya sekarang lagi ngeFans banget sama warner *anjrit lw dibayar berapa seh sama warner hueheheh??*



Pastinya para fans gw udah pada bertanya2 kenapa hanya ada dua postingan pada bulan ini kan…? Yah kaga tau deh, bawaannya males aja (ni aja gw paksain nulisnya jadi maklum aja kalo rada garing) padahal dah belo WiMode jadi bisa OL dimana pun, harusnya udah bisa posting sesuatu tiap hari dong,,, *eeh bo' cewe yang jualan WiModenya mirip Julia Perez lhooo…* yah doain aja deh supaya gairah gw untuk menulis diblog sama tingginya dengan gairah gw diranjang huahaha…. Hihi… *secara gw udah melihat temen gw yang pada awalnya semnagat banget ngeblog tapi pada akhirnya tuh blog sampe jadi Fosil saking lamanya ga di Update*


Sebenernya rada males keluar pada hari minggu karena kesempatan gw buat nyelesain proposal gw yang terbengkalai ya hanya pada saat weekend begini, tapi karena sehari sebelumnya (hari sabtu) gw udah terlanjur janji sama si Iwan. Trusnya juga ada acara Exposure PBOX HIV/AIDS AISEC di PA. seperti biasa tempat sialan ini selalu penuh disaat weekend seperti ini hahahihi bentar sama anak2 dan ngasih selamat ke Yamin LCP baru di lantai dasar tempat PBOX diadakan trus si Iwan yang udah dari tadi telpon dan sms ngasi kabar kalo semua orang orah ngumpul di Hau's Tea di lantai empat. Doohh jadi ga enak gw satu2nya orang yang ditunggu hiihih… ada Eel, Medya, Imif, bang Yudi, Ophan, Voni-Adi, dan Iwan. Masih kurang si Adit, ah tapi persetanlah dengan dia ga datengpun kaga apa2…


Ternyata kehadiran gw diakhir acara ga ngasih kontribusi apa2 dipertemuan itu, tapi ya sutralahh yang penting gw ketemu sama temen2 gw, semua orang ketawa ketiwi ngakak dengan lelucon yang ga seberapa lucu tapi 10 kali lipat kelucuannya bertambah ketika kami nongkrong satu meja :) trus nemenin gw Medya, Eel dan Imif dipaksa buat nemenin Iwan ke Radio, untung aja kita semua bisa keangkut semua di mobil sedan kecilnya Iwan. Dan busyet sampe bejamur nungguin dia selesei meeting. Untung ketemu satu orang gila lainnya waktu kita lagi minum jus di kafe : Sulis *atau Suping, panggilan ala si Adit hihih..* dia senior gw waktu SMU dulu, hah… sebuah masa2 yang tidak indah, kenangan yang tidak enak diinget *waktu gw masih terjerumus kedalam dunia hitam* waaah jeung-jeung badannya tambah subur lhooo, ga tau tuh sering dipompa kali yah. Seperti biasa dengan volume yang melebihi kemampuan rata2 manusia normal dia bercerita tentang kerjaan yang bikin stress di tempat kerjanya sebuah radio swasta yang selalu dia bangga2kan *huuueeekk bikin gw muntah sempe,, radio norak dan supper duper tidak bagus dalam selera musik amppuuun deh*


Sore menjelang malem ke PA lagi bareng anak2 setelah nemenin iwan, masih sempat main bentar di Zone. Warner penuh sesak oleh penyewa-penyewa berselera rendah yang doyan film2 indonesia seperti saya puas anda loyo, ahntu jeruk purut, hantu ambulan, hantu jamu gendong, hantu jembatan semanggi, hantu terowongan apalah… dan hantu2 lainnya. Ga tau kenapa masi rame begitu yah, padahal besoknya kan udah hari senin, apa kaga kerja ato pada kulliah *lhaaa lw sendiri kenapa masi mau minjem bencong!! Padahal kan juga kuliah … * tapi case gw kan beda, gw ini pencinta film sejati, bukan orang yang ga ngerti film!!!


Alhasil gw berhasil mendapatkan Twilight (secara di Padang kan selalu telat beberapa bulan), dan film ini bagus ternyata pada hal gw ga mau ber ekspektasi terlalu tinggi takut kecewa. Hapir mendekati sempurnya kecuali dandanan keluaga Cullen yang membuat mereka terkesan seperti para banci yang habis jualan tapi lupa ngehapus dandanan mereka dan disepanjang film ada beberapa kesalahan dalam penerjemahan (ada kata2 yang kurang pas penerjemahannya). Ga tau kenapa (agak susah dijelaskan jg) gw tiba2 jadi suka sama Kristen Steward, wajahnya cukup cute tapi kecute-an yang membuat dia dia cocok banget memerankan tokoh Bella ini. Ngerti ga seh?? Maksud gw wajahnya ga terlalu cantik jadi dapet banget buat memerankan gadis biasa yang menjalani kehidupan normal sampai dia bertemu dengan seorang cowok vampir yang tergila2 sama dia, pokoknya natural dan alamilah persis seperti yang gw bayangkan di novelnya.


Ga sabar buat nungguin New Moon…

2:42 PM

Hari ini training (AIESEC Management Training) terakhir anak2 ORI 17 di AIESEC UNAND, LC gw tercinta. Mudah2an aja tidak ada sesuatu yang buruk menimpa gw setelah training ini. Masi inget terakhir kali gw menghadiri training, begadangan semaleman bikin tubuh gw yang lemah ini ngedrop. Paracetamol pun kaga mempan buat nyembuhin sakit kepala yang menusuk banget.


Tapi gapapa deh berhubung sekarang gw lagi diranda stress dan kejenuhan yang luar biasa sedikit pesta gila2an ala AIESEC mungkin bisa meredakan. Niatnya seh tadi mau tidur siang sejenak, berhubung ntar malem akan bagadang dan mempersiapkan tenaga untuk apapunlah yang akan terjadi nanti malam. Tapi HP-gw-yang-rusaknya-sama-kaya-otak-gw ini berdering setiap 10 menit mengingatkan bahwa ada sms2 yang ga penting masuk,,, doooohhh merusak tidur siang gw aja deh *mas Bejo jangan salahkan kalo adek kulitnya kaga sebening mpok Nori yah* (secara katanya tidur siang bisa bikin kulit mu mulus sebening sutra ting… *senyum lima jari*)

Ga biasanya si Mona yang ngajakin gw hang out bareng anak2 AIESEC, secara dia selama ini paling sering nolak ajakan gw buat kesekre dan ngumpul bareng anak2. MMhhh jadi gw ga bikin ekspektasi tinggi2 kalo berurusan sama dia, udah bersiap juga kalo bentar lagi si Mona sms yang bunyinya gini hih:


"cur gw ga jadi dateng, perut gw mendadak mules"

Ato

"jeung..jeung sori yah akikah ga jadi dateng secara udah di tunggu om anu di hotel anu"

Hihi… dari dulu ni anak mang orang yang paling ga punya pendirian menurut gw, gampang banget berubah pikiran dan gampang dipengaruhi orang.


Tapi ya sutra lah nik, paling ga gw nanti janjian sama si Adit ngumpul bareng anak kogara ditempat biasa sebelum ke tempat training. Hihi… jadi bisa ketemu sama seseorang…

Seseorang ?? *huahaha kampungan banget pake rahasia2an segala*



Udah ah sudah saatnya gw mengakhiri postingan ga bermutu ini, mau mandi ahh…

Duuuhhh ancurrr deh semua gara2 virus sialan

Tadi kan gw minta tolong temen gw si ipin buat negebersihin komputer gw dari virus2 sialan ini di laptop gw. Trus,, karena FD gw ga bisa dicopiin antivirus nya dia minjem (lebih tepatnya gw sih yang minjamin) FD nya si ety.


Dan parahnya FD ety juga terjangkit virus. Huahahaaaa…. Huhuhu… huahahaha… *nangis2 dan terisak2 histeris* Tuhan… kenapa Engkau berikan cobaan yang sebegini berat pada hambaMu yang imut yang tidak bisa diberi cobaan seberat ini… *membuat tanda salib dan mengatupkan telapak tangan*


Duhh ety, maapkeun saya. Data2 PBOXnya dia dan data2 kuliahan hidden semua… (mudah2an bener2 hiden dan bisa diselametin!!!)


Ampun deh Tuhan,,, janji kalo ini laptop udah baek ga bakalan gw colokin sembarang FD lagi, ga akan berseks bebas dengan FD2 lain.

Duh jadi merasa bersalah udah ngerepotin si ipin dan terus sekarang malah nyusahin ety lagiii… huahahaha… *tersedu sedan sambil menangis*



Guys maapin gw yahhh…

Puuuusiiiiiiinggggg…

HUAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Became a fan after the movie..., January 9, 2009
By Tyrisell "BCassidy" (Vancouver, WA USA) - See all my reviews
I had heard about the fantasy books by a friend when they first came out but didn't have the time to look into them. By the time the movie came out, I'd nearly forgotten about the book referral, but asked my hubby to take me as it looked like a good vampire romance flick. The scenery of the Pacific Northwest forests, rivers, and coastline was breathtaking and as a native to this area, it was like going out into my own backyard which made the film that more appealing. I was so captivated by the actors portrayal of the characters (the facial expressions and emotions brought out of the characters by Rob, Kristen, Peter, Nikki, and the rest were mesmerizing) and the depth of the back-story left me desiring more! The very next day after viewing the movie in the theater - I raced to the bookstore to grab the first book. I was hooked, read through all four books (plus went to the authors website to read the extra materials she had posted there) in a week. Then, still not satisfied, went back and saw the movie several more times - IN THE THEATER, something I've never felt compelled to do before - because I was so drawn to the characters and the story. This may have been written for the young adult audience but I'm 32 and a parent of four children, and still found the story to be well worth my time.

If you haven't read the stories, I encourage you to do so. Regardless, this film will be a treasured part of your movie collection and one you'll be sure to watch several times before you'll feel satisfied.

5.0 out of 5 stars Obsessing over Twilight and can't wait for the DVD!!, January 9, 2009
By Marcy Gomez (Kansas City, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)
I came into the Twilight series not expecting much. The books were, after all, marketed to the teen crowd, so I originally dismissed it. I didn't expect much from the film. I wanted to see it not for the story, but because I knew Robert Pattinson from "Harry Potter" and enjoy the vampire book/movie genre.

4 books and 7 viewings later, I am happy to report that I am now a happily obsessed "Twilighter."

Going into the movie, I found myself hooked within the first 10 minutes. As soon as the Cullen siblings walked through the cafeteria door, I knew I was in for the ride. And by the time Edward and Bella were sitting together at the restaurant in Port Angeles, I was smitten. The love story, the beautiful vampires, and the amazing chemistry between leads Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart, made this film - for me - utterly irresistible. I knew I wanted to see it again as soon as it was over, and the female relatives that I went to see it with couldn't agree more.

7 viewings later, I am still obsessed. Like "Titanic" and all the wonderful Jane Austen and Elizabeth Gaskell tv/movie adaptations before it, I was enthralled by the love story of Edward and Bella. Edward Cullen, a 108 year old vampire trapped in the body of a 17 year old, falls in love for the first time...to a human - a young unsuspecting girl named Isabella Swan. Bella becomes equally fascinated by Edward, and this mutual fascination soon grows into yearning and love. Theirs is a Romeo & Juliet like love story but this time it's not a family feud that keeps them apart, but the fact that Edward is a vampire and Bella is a human - the predator and the prey fall in love (or as Edward puts it, "...and so the lion falls in love with the lamb"). Within the story are some other conflicts, as Edward and his family's true nature must remain a secret, and as other vampires threaten Bella's life.

Author Stephenie Meyer has crafted an irresistible tale, and screenwriter Rosenberg Melissa Rosenberg does a fine job of staying faithful with the novel. Some scenes and plotlines are changed around or omitted in order to make it work on film, but the essentials are there. Director Catherine Hardwicke does a superb job of bringing all the elements together and guiding her young cast through the journey, so I was saddened to hear that she will not be helming the sequel.

The major breakthroughs in this film, however, are the young and talented leads - Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart. What started out as a small independent film has now become a worldwide phenomenon and has catapulted Rob and Kristen to the brink of superstardom. And this is no accident. The charismatic and versatile Robert Pattinson is brilliant as Edward. He properly conveys the internal conflict that rages within Edward and brings it out in full force. When he's onscreen, you couldn't take your eyes off him. His Edward can be gentle, loving and tender, but also fearsome and dangerous. Kristen Stewart brings a beautiful and nuanced performance. She is exactly how I pictured Bella and she does an excellent job of bringing the character to life. The supporting cast is also wonderful. Of the supporting roles, Billy Burke (Charlie Swan), Ashley Greene (Alice Cullen), Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen) and Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen) are standouts. I think everyone - with the exception of Nikki Reed's Rosalie Hale/Cullen (who I feel just doesn`t fit Rosalie physically) - are perfectly cast.

I am also a fan of the soundtrack and Carter Burwell's amazing score, and I highly recommend purchasing these as a companion to the dvd. I am thrilled that the dvd is finally coming, and I although the final specs are not yet available, I hope that Summit Entertainment will release a dvd version filled with extras, deleted/extended scenes and behind-the-scenes footage. I'm a huge fan of the books and I feel that the cast and crew of Twilight has done an amazing job of bringing one of my favorite books to life. I'm looking forward to New Moon, and I hope that it will be as good as, if not better than, the first film. This film is a gem and one of my favorite love stories ever. Bella and Edward has joined the ranks of Elizabeth and Darcy, John Thornton and Margaret Hale, Jane Eyre and Edward Rochester, Cathy and Heathcliff, Jack Dawson and Rose DeWitt Bukater, and yes Romeo and Juliet, as two of my very favorite romantic couples that has ever graced the big and small screen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Amazing, January 9, 2009
This movie created a whole new obession that started with the books in the twilight series. It started with my 14 year old "teen" son saying I had to get a book for him. Well, that was a few weeks before the movie was released. As word traveled and the buzz about the upcoming movie approached. I read his book. I made it to the movie a few days after it was out. I loved it. But did not expect to see it again until it came out on DVD. Then I read the rest of the books in the twilight series. And somehow I was drawn back to the movie a week later. I felt like I was in Bella's head and needed to see the flick again. I left with more appreciation than the first time. I started to think more about the film and books. The love story alone makes you want more. When Edward says to Bella,"You don't know how long I have waited for you" your heart skips a beat and your body goes numb. I got the movie companion at a local store. I was surprised at the low budget. I also started to see "why" the director did what she did in the movie. Why the vampire's running or tree climbing wasn't the special effects we are used to in this day in age. I started to fall in love with the essence of the movie for what it really is. I am in a trance every time I see it. I am addicted to the characters, story line and every possible crumb of the twilight world. I have seen the movie for the 10th time tonight. Every time I see it, I am still amazed at the way Catherine has brought it to light. Yes, somethings are left out from the book. Yes, scenes are different than described in the book. However, the script has word for word from the book thoughout here and there. To take a book and make a movie on a limited time and budget, and capture the audience is a tall order. To deliver a movie that has already been perfected in a reader's mind is even more difficult. The movie follows the story line smoothly and is one of the best book to movie adaptions I have seen in a long time. I believe that Robert's acting was spellbinding. He is Edward Cullen. I am amazed how he embraced and captured the character of a 100 something year old vampire so realisticaly for a 22 year old young actor. His facial expression's alone express the emotion's that Edward has for Bella. You leave the theatre wanting more! To see the movie without reading the books may leave you with a limited vision of what is behind the story.But over all you should love the movie no matter what. The movie is my favorite and I am now a very twilight-addicted married mom of 3 boys.

Unofficial Bio of Stephenie Meyer

Unofficial Bio

I was born in Connecticut in 1973, during a brief blip in my family's otherwise western U.S. existence. We were settled in Phoenix by the time I was four, so, considering that I have twenty-seven Arizona summers under my belt, I think of myself as a native. The unusual spelling of my name was a gift from my father, Stephen ( + ie = me ). Though I have had my name spelled wrong on pretty much everything my entire life long, I must admit that it makes it easier to google myself now.

Morgan Kids I filled the "Jan Brady" spot in my family—the second of three girls. Unlike the Brady's, none of my three brothers are steps, and all of them are younger than all the girls. My big sister was, however, very similar to Marcia (only instead of being self-absorbed and vain, she was sweet and shy, which made her all the more perfect—Emily, Emily, Emily!!), and we did have a dog named after a non-canine animal (Eagle, in this case). We never had a maid, so my mom is clearly superior to Florence Henderson's character, and also has a better singing voice.

I went to high school in Scottsdale, Arizona, the kind of place where every fall a few girls would come back to school with new noses and there were Porsches in the student lot (for the record, I have my original nose, and never had a car until after I was in my twenties). Our football team was renowned statewide—for having the highest average GPA. I was awarded a National Merit Scholarship, and I used it to pay my way to Brigham Young University, in Provo, Utah. On the list of the biggest party schools in the country, BYU consistently and proudly finishes dead last. I majored in English, but concentrated on literature rather than creative writing, mostly because I didn't consider reading books as work (as long as I was going to be doing something anyway, I might as well get course credit for it, right?). During my college years, I heard many lame jokes about English majors' future careers in the food services industries, and to all the people who made those jokes, I now say, "Ha, ha" (to be heard in the voice of Nelson Muntz).

I met my husband, Pancho (his real name is Christiaan, but no one calls him that—it's not a long story, but it is a stupid one, so I'll skip it), when I was four, but we were never anywhere close to being childhood sweethearts. In fact, though we saw each other at least weekly through church activities, I can't recall a single instance when we so much as greeted each other with a friendly wave, let alone exchanged actual words. This may have been for the best, because when we did eventually get around to exchanging words, sixteen years after our first meeting, it only took nine months from the first "hello" to the wedding. Of course, we were able to skip over a lot of the getting to know you parts—many of our conversations would go something like this: "This one time, when I was ten, I broke my hand at a party when—" "Yeah, I know what happened. I was there, remember?"

We've been married for ten and a half years now, and have three beautiful, brilliant, wonderful boys who often remind me of chimpanzees on crack. Gabe is eight, Seth is five, and Eli is three. When I started my writing career, they were each two years younger, and, looking back, I don't have any idea how I survived trying to do so many things at once.

Twilight is my very first novel, and it has been a crazy, rollercoaster-sans-seatbelts experience from the very beginning. (If you're interested in more about the writing of Twilight, click the "Twilight Series" tab at the top of this lame, rambling autobiography. (Sorry for being Capt. Obvious.))

My favorite authors/biggest influences are (in no particular order) Orson Scott Card, Jane Austen, William Shakespeare, Maeve Binchy, Charlotte Bronte, Daphne DuMaurier, L.M. Montgomery, Louisa May Alcott, Eva Ibbotson, William Goldman, Douglas Adams, Janet Evanovich... the list goes on, but I think I hit the highlights. I can't write without music, and my biggest muse is the band Muse, ironically enough (see link below). My other favorite sources of inspiration are Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Coldplay, The All American Rejects, Travis, The Strokes, Brand New, U2, Kasabian, Jimmy Eat World, and Weezer, to mention a few. My favorite places to hang out on line are:

www.fansofrealitytv.com (friendliest people on the internet, and also the best place for The Amazing Race, Survivor, and America's Next Top Model recaps. Not that I watch those shows...)

www.ericdsnider.com (my favorite movie reviews)

www.muse.mu (home of the incredible band, Muse. Best live show ever, and Absolution was possibly the best alternative album of the decade. Opinionated? Who, me?)

www.ebay.com (no explanation needed, right?)

www.imdb.com (where I search for actors to star in Twilight (more on that under "twilight" and then "Twilight the Movie))

(Little, Brown and Co.'s website for the novel)

Hachette Book Group

and www.evanovich.com (Janet Evanovich's website (Janet Evanovich writes the bestselling Stephanie Plum series). This website has a great question and answer section for writers, which is where I got the information that led me to my fantabulous agent, Jodi Reamer.)

I am also a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (or Mormon, as we are commonly called—for more info on what that means, see www.mormon.org ) and that has a huge influence on who I am and my perspective on the world, and therefore what I write (though I have been asked more than once, "What's a nice Mormon girl like you doing writing about vampires?").

Last but not least, a big round of applause for my baby brother, Seth (Peter, in the Brady line up), who put together this website for me in his brief hiatus between semesters of school. Thank you, Seth! When you are an optometrist, I'm bringing all of my kids to you!

Dirembang petang

Akhirnya selesai juga membaca Twilight 15 menit yang lalu, perlu lima hari bagi ADDers seperti gw untuk menyelesaikan membacanya. Disana sini percakapan tentang novel ini cukup mengusik dan membangkitkan rasa penasaran gw untuk membacanya, tapi bahkan setelah filmnya dirilis masih belum kesampaian niat ini.



Indah temen gw yang selama ini cukup gw remehkan seleranya dalam hal melahap sastra * hihi… maap yah In* bahkan lebih dulu memiliki seri ke tiga novel ini dibandingkan diri gw yang selama ini sudah tergila2 pada novel2 (terjemahan) kontemporer Amerika. Jadi, satu hari setelah hari ulang tahun gw berbekal uang 100 ribu hadiah ultah dari nyokap gw bareng si Adit iseng ke gramed dan ide buat ngambil buku ini tiba2 aja muncul. Mempersalahkan kebuntuan dan ketidak kreatif-an otak gw adalah akibat kurangnya gw baca bacaan fiksi *hehehe gw merasa lebih cerdas dan kreatif setelah baca fiksi selama ini*.



Mhhhmm sejauh ini gw belum ketemu ada penulis lain selain (Stephanie) Mayer yang menggambarkan adegan cinta yang sangat romantis dengan sekuat dan senyata dia melukiskan percintaan mabuk kepayang Edward Cullen dan Isabella Swan disepanjang bab 13. Begitu kuat, begitu nyata dan sangat manusiawi kedua orang ini diikat cinta dan bermain cinta. Tanpa berkesan melebih-lebihkan tanpa kesan mebosankan hampir dua bab dia menggambarkannya. bagaimana dia bercerita ga bikin gw mau muntah seperti waktu baca novel2 murahan yang terlalu lebay dalam melukiskan adegan percintaan yang romantis.

Rasanya gw ikut merasakan betapa kuatnya cinta "aneh" seorang vampir seperti Edward dan manusia seperti Bella. Mungkin lw berpendapat gw orang aneh yang terlalu berlebihan hanya mengomentari bagian ini saja, tapi itulah yang gw suka dan tidak gw temukan pada karya penulis lainnya. Bagaimana Meyer melukiskan dan menggambarkan sosok fisik seorang manusia yang luar biasa indah dan enak dipandang mata juga membuat diri gw kagum dengan penulis ini, tidak hanya fisik. Emosi, kepribadian dan watak dari para tokoh juga digambarkan secara sempruna, gw serasa menonton film dan melihat (menonton) dengan jelas karakter sang tokoh.


Ga berlebihan lhoo gw memuji Meyer.



Gw baru tau arti kata twilight di akhir bab 11. Rembang petang. Aram temaram, senja kala atau kata lain apabila kita menerjemahkannya dalam bahasa Indonesia entah kenapa gw merasa sedih ketika mencerna kata ini *mungkin karena merasa terbawa suasana novel ini kali yak??*.

Saat senja adalah saat peralihan siang menjadi malam yang entah kenapa merupakan fase atau waktu2 yang tidak gw suka, fase transisi yang tidak jelas kita manusia seolah terjebak diantara keduanya, merasa labil. Hari yang akan berakhir membuat sedih tetapi setelah malam datang akan ada waktu lain yang akan membawa sesuatu yang baru (dan mungkin lebih baik).


Seperti kata Edward,

"Akhir yang lain. Tak peduli betapa sempurna sebuah hari, toh akan berakhir juga"

Jejalan-jejalan

Rasanya terlalu imut kalo gw ngasi judul postingan kali ini dengan judul: "my birthday" ato "my special day" secara gw ga pernah nganggap ultah gw sebegitu lebaynya. Yah hari kelahiran memang adalah hari yang biasanya spesial bagi sebagian besar manusuia dari kebudayaan manapun didunia. Ada lhoo beberapa suku bangsa yang tidak menganggap penting soal hari kelahiran, orang Rimba di pedalaman Jambi pun tidak mengenal konsep umur. Jadi jangan tanya2 soal umur deh ke Orang Rimba, mereka ga bakalan ngeh, terminologi waktu hanya ditandai dengan berbagai musim buah2an.



Sama dengan tidak begitu pentingnya memberi nama kepada bayi di beberapa suku bangsa di Papua, anak2 mereka dipanggil dengan kata2 (atau lebih tepatnya bunyian) yang mereka anggap enak didengar walaupun kata2 itu bukan kata yang bermakna. Keberagaman budaya. Budaya sendiri sangat relatif dan nisbi, absurd dan susah didefenisikan. Udah ah… kok jadi ngomong ga jelas ala antropologi begini hihihi…



Yang jelas walaupun capek hari ini gw seneng banget soalnya barusan habis liburan ke Malobo Anai bareng anak2 AIESEC dalam rangka welcoming dan farewel partynya para Trainee (anak program pertukaran magang internasional-nya AIESEC) *inget ga ada perayaan ultah gw, Cuma kebetulan aja gw ultah diparty mereka* yaah… at least I get a tons of happiness today, a lot of fun. Sebelumnya home satay di Solok sempat terlewatkan, jadi acara hari ini cukup melepas stress gw lah.



Jam setengah sembilan gw udah sampe di jati, niatnya seh mau ngenet dulu liat antrokita (milis komunitas antro gitu) tapi sayangnya FF warnet tempat gw biasanya ngenet tutup (ga kaya di warnet2 sekitar kampus gw yang subuh2 udah pada buka). Jadi langsung ajalah gw kesekre udah ada beberapa ekor makhluk disana, hihi.. Di undangan sih si P-man suruh kita dateng jam setengah sembilan tapi gw udah dapet bocoran dari si Olin kalo bus nya bakalan dateng jam 10.

Dan itu juga telat juga berangkatnya (jadi jam setengah 11) karena harus nunguin si Olin yang katanya ketiduran, shit ternyata harus nungguin seekor makhluk lagi yang namanya Water. Dalam hati gw berjanji kalo tu anak dateng bakalan gw jambakin tambutnya. Akhirnya si water pun datang sambil senyam senyum ga jelas, dan rambutnya bener2 gw jambakin seperti niat gw tadi hihi…

But ada yang ketinggalan, si Arland terang2an beli telor waktu busnya lagi nungguin dia makhluk tadi. Ga tau yah apa tradisi lempar telor juga ada didaerah laeh, tapi yang jelas perbuatan terkutuk ini harus dihentikan!!!



Seperti biasa tidak ada perjalanan bereng anak2 yang tidak dilakukan dengan kegilaan yang amat teramat sangat gila huehehehe… nyampe di malibo jam satu siang, lumayan sepi lah. Jadi puas banget berenang, tapi airnya dingin buanget lhoo. Eh untung aja waktu makan siang telornya si arland *lebih tepatnya telor yang tadinya akan dilempar kekepala gw* berhasil gw rebut dari tangan Fajrin, bego banget dia hihi. Tapi gw bikin skenario sendiri waktu anak2 nanyain kenapa gw menghalangi perbuatan terkutuk mereka dengan membuang telornya. Gw bilang aja si Fajrin yang ngelempar tu telor kehutan karena kasian dan cinta sama gw dan ga mau gw jadi bau amis telor dihari ulang tahun gw hihi…



Duh capek banget hari ini, tapi walaupun capek tenaga gw masih bersisa kok untuk menggerakkan jemari gw yang lentik ini menulis postingan, karena gw tau penggemar gw diluar sana menunggu gw berbagi cerita huahaha…
