Saat akhirnya (dipaksakan) bisa sore tadi, pikiran pertama yang terlintas adalah skeptisme.

Sempat terbersit rasa kagum akan inovasi dan kreativitas yang coba ditampilkan Burger King dengan suguhan keberanian menabrak norma dan kelaziman. Tetapi semakin memandangnya, semakin terpikir akan esensinya; apakah pantas? Apapun itu, selamat memperingati 100 tahun Hari Kebangkitan Nasional; 20 Mei 1908-2008! Terlepas dari apakah pantas mengklaim hari lahirnya Boedi Oetomo sebagai suatu awal gerakan yang bertujuan mencapai kemerdekaan Indonesia. Mengapa tidak T.A.S.? Ah, toh bukan saya yang menulis buku sejarah. WTF. Lumayan juga diskon Burger King ini, saat harga2 bergerak naik.

Sophan Sophiaan, meninggal di atas motor Harley-Davidson kesayangannya, karena mengalami kecelakaan di Ngawi saat sedang mengemban tugas Negara; mengawal kirab dalam rangka peringatan 100 Tahun Kebangkitan Nasional. Detil peristiwa itu tentu semua sudah tahu. Tapi mengapa kebesaran nama nya begitu menjulang, mungkin banyak yang belum paham. Dan karenanya bertanya2 untuk apa semua penghormatan dan kehebohan yang terjadi kemarin. Terlahir 64 tahun lalu, menikah dengan sesama artis 70-an, Widyawati, dia adalah salah satu putra dedengkot PNI. Partai Nasional Indonesia, Manai Sophiaan (salah seorang tokoh pergerakan yang pernah dibuang Belanda ke Boven Digul, Papua). Keturunan keluarga nasionalis tulen, dengan pendidikan baik dan kesadaran berbangsa, yang mudah2an diturunkan kepada generasi selanjutnya.

Ulasan terlampir merupakan versi terpotong dari versi asli yang dimuat pada blog lama gue, yang sudah tidak aktif lagi. Versi asli ulasan tersebut merupakan perbandingan antara buku <a href=http://stefanihid.multiply.com/>Stefani Hid</a> dengan Jessica Huwae tentang topik serupa yang terbit hampir bersamaan; “soulmate”.

Of course I couldn’t afford the exclusivity of the meals at the very best of it, as well.

I’m soo late for the certification exam this morning 080510 at 0707 wib JW Marriot Surabaya #1519 the origin of the posting was inspired by <a href="http://audrey.multiply.com/journal/item/41">this</a> writing photo courtesy of TLT at Hyatt Bandung, years earlier some grammatical errors were corrected by <a href="http://retamuri.multiply.com/">Reta</a>, thanks! http://terbanglahlbhtinggi.multiply.com/journal/item/218/mental_breakdown_DOES_occur_doesnt_it Sat, 10 May 2008 00:25:04 -0000 ZOE Books & Cafe, Margonda Have you ever heard of the place? The, uh, quite unusual name was actually the acronym of its original spirits; ZOE – Zone Of Education and entertainment, pronounced as "z-o-e". Getting widely covered by mainstream medias for the last few years since it was opened for public in June 2006, the distance location from the main hemisphere of Jakarta seems made it only known for a number of university students of Margonda. The place boasted its vast collection of comics, a handful on Indonesian’s most popular books and novels, some magazines (either new or old), quite satisfying number on sociology and political subjects, and of course as already mentioned, the comics. And the library. Some friends stated that even they offered some DVD and movies related and/or attached to the comics, but not yet available in the regular markets, i.e. the powerful 21 Cineplex connection. The bookshop is not just interesting in its interior design and layout, but most of all, because it provides hu... http://terbanglahlbhtinggi.multiply.com/photos/album/25/ZOE_Books_Cafe_Margonda Sat, 3 May 2008 14:22:29 -0000 Pondok Sedap Malam, Batu Tulis Gara2 hari Senin hampir seminggu sebelumnya ada rapat with the government people yang diselingi makan siang di restoran ini, gue jadi kepikiran buat datang lagi. If you do know me well, then you realized that it’s somewhat weird. Why? Because I hate seafood. Bukan alergi sih, seperti tuduhan banyak orang atas penolakan gue untuk setiap ajakan makan seafood, but simply because I just don’t like its taste. Emang susah kalo punya lidah yang terlalu peka; beda rasa dikit aja (atau dalam beberapa hal, beda tehnik pengolahan) udah bikin kerongkongan gue ngambek. Terkunci rapat, kagak mau kemasukan ntu makanan. Hiks. Gue bahkan sampe bisa ngebeda’in mana air aqua yang produksi Panda’an, mana yang asli Bogor, dan mana yang ngaku2nya Bogor, padahal produksi kota Bekasi… yikes! Bayangin aja, sumur di tengah2 daerah industri, gitu lhoo (for the record, I visited some of their factories for official inspections). Cuman entah kenapa, salah satu kelemahan terbesar gue adalah; setiap kali gu... http://terbanglahlbhtinggi.multiply.com/photos/album/24/Pondok_Sedap_Malam_Batu_Tulis Thu, 1 May 2008 18:14:54 -0000 7 Levels of Photographers © 2005 KenRockwell.com I just got the link from a friend. It is called as "7 Levels of Photographers". You may mention it as "the magnificent 7" by the famous movie, heuhehe. Again, it is another Ken Rockwell well-written thought. The posting boasted a very interesting writing, even though the grading used was somewhat intriguing; if not confusing. Try to apply it to you and people around you with a camera attached to them. For instance, I always give my concern the most about the memory left behind from virtually every single second living under the sun and the stars. Interested in capturing the moments rather than being dizzied by all the fuzz and buzz of all photography techniques and equipment and terminologies. Or couldn’t be care less in facing some dogmatic organizations, well-known websites (and blogs), the so called branded camera users who takes pride in the expense of their pricey sophisticated nice lenses and things. Then, if we refer such behavior of me to... http://terbanglahlbhtinggi.multiply.com/links/item/6/7_Levels_of_Photographers Tue, 29 Apr 2008 09:09:28 -0000 the Time We don’t take the same Path <a href="http://terbanglahlbhtinggi.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SBVNFgoKCtsAAGJT3mU1"><img class="alignright" src="http://images.terbanglahlbhtinggi.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SBVNFgoKCtsAAGJT3mU1/070322%2018.36.JPG?et=nZ2iRTo0tMWvMuapR0f2gg&nmid=" border="0"></a>Have you ever felt this kind of phenomena; whereas some of your trusted people changed? Or have you ever realized why people got separated after small incidents? Or perhaps, just over the ever passing time?Been there done that. It's perfectly normal, my friends. You don’t worry and just be happy. Sometimes, somewhere, someone crossed one's path with us. To colorize our life, to give the life a bit meaning. Be it positively or, sadly, negatively. There’s nothing we could do about it. Everything has its own season Everything has its own reasons. It doesn’t matter. It’s just the way it is. What would be matter the most is how you could make the most of it, and treat it as your step stone to your next phase; instead of your pain and sorrow. (because) Nothing is coincidental in this world. ..........
