Barb sent me this picture. F-U-N-N-Y! It gives me a slap on the face whenever I feel like chewing too much. Whatever we are in the world, we must belong to those people who are lucky enough to have more than many others, especially since you read my post in the net which means you can afford to buy or rent a computer, and an internet connection...

Bosen blom hilang sekarang tambah mumet. Apa pasal? Temens gw yang pada (berasa hehe) demen nanya "Masak apa hari ini?", semua protes..tes..tess... Kata mereka, pertanyaan itu kan tanda cinta dan perhatian. Iya deeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh.......... tapi gak tiap kali dong? Gak juga ke gw dong? You know kan kalo I was NOT born a cook!!!! My cooking record itu baru dimulai tanggal 22 Januari 2005. Satu hari setelah gw menginjakkan kaki di Jepun!?! So again, Please Dech Ah! I love you juga loh. I love you guys even bigger when you don't ask me that question! Please? Please???? Lagian, hari ini gw gak masak...

Aku lagi bosen ngeliat blog ku sendiri.
Diputer-puter, klik sana klik sini, liat dari samping kiri samping kanan, atas bawah... Ufff........... bosen. Bosen ngetik, bosen nulis, bosen blog walking (hehe istilah ini baru dikuasai), bosen inovasi ini itu, bosen sign in, bosen pake bahasa londo en bahasa jepun, pokoke bosen. Padahal masih banyak tulisan yang harus diedit, masih banyak 'suara-suara' di kepala yang belom di tuangkan ke tulisan (kalo yg ini emang rada-rada skizo sih). Jadi mikir, masa' sih bisa bosen sama blog sendiri??? Ini kan sama dengan tampang ku sendiri (is it?). Trus jadi mikir lagi, pernah gak ya aku ...hmm... gw (ternyata gak cocok kalo gw ber-aku-aku... Maap bukan maksud gak sopan. Kalau tidak berkenan, bayangin aja kata 'gw' berubah menjadi 'aku'. Good luck) oks lanjut.. trus gw jadi mikir lagi, pernah gak ya gw bosen sama muke.. eh salah... muka gw sendiri. --mikir--mikir-- Kayaknya sering juga;b Ya, gw sering bosen liat muka gw sendiri. Apalagi kalo lagi banyak jerawat. Mau gw bedakin pake lumpur cap gomeh juga gak bakalan keliatan spt Nicole Kidman (wakakak... mimpi kali je). Belom lagi sama rambut... Ngomong-ngomong soal rambut, udah waktunya nih gw cukur sebenernya. Tapi karena masih trauma sama kejadian potong rambut yg terakhir... kayaknya gw mau panjangin aja nih. Oh iya, kalo soal rambut gw memang sering banget bosen sama tampangnya. Gak tau kenapa, hairdo is my mood killer or mood booster. Gw denger tiap orang punya mood killer and mood boosternya masing-masing. Ada yang kalo gak pake parfum, trus bete seharian. Gak pake dasi kesayangan trus berasa gak kece semingguan (seminggu? Iya kan betenya kerasa sampe seminggu). Bayangin, gimana betenya orang kalo gak pake baju... Pokoke, rambut gw ini bener-bener pemicu mood hari itu. In case you don't know (krn emang gak penting sih) gw belom nemuin hairstylist yang bisa memuaskan my craving for a good hairdo -good, by my definition- di dua negara... hehehe. Dulu waktu jamannya film Sweet November (Keanu Reeves dong, maen sama Charlize Theron) lagi diputer, abis nonton film itu gw niat mau potong rambut. Kebetulan salonnya satu gedung mall dengan bioskopnya. Sebelum dipotong, gw sempet ngobrol-ngobrol dengan si hairstylist ini. Ternyata dia juga pecinta Keanu dan seneng banget sama film Sweet November itu. Jadilah gw bilang, "bisa gak rambut ku dipotong spt si Charlize?" Dan dijawab "BISA".... Aaaaaaaaaaahhh asyikkkk.... TERNYATA sodara-sodara, setelah selesai dipotong, I didn't look like Charlize Theron at all!!! Na-ah! I looked just like... (uff...here goes my confession) Hillary Swank di Boys Don't Cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Waaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (masih kebayang si T and A ketawa ngikik-ngikik di kantor). Gw keramas tiap hari biar rambut cepet panjang:(( Itu cuma salah satu contoh kejadian yg bikin gw ilfil (spell?) sama hairstylist. Gw juga pernah bosen sama badan gw yang gak nambah-nambah gede, sama hidung yang gak bisa mancung walopun udah dijepit pake jepit jemuran, sama kulit yang gak putih-putih segimana seringnya gw pergi ke tukang gosok badan alias tukang lulur... wah kalo ngomongin ini sih gak abis-abis. Paling gak, gw belom pernah bosen sama kuping gw (--mikir...??), sama nyengirnya Hikari, dan Insya Allah gak bakal bosen sama si E_ _ honey dan Keanu Reeves darling(heheheheheheheeee... hare gene...). Gw juga lagi bosen ngimel, bosen chatting karena tiap kali chatting kata pembuka dari temen-temen gw paling-paling "Masak apa hari ini?".... Please deh!!!. I love you guys, really. But the same question everyday? Give me a break!!

Tapi kalo dipikir-pikir lagi, sebenernya rasa bosen itu anugrah loh. Maksud gw, tanpa rasa bosen pasti gak kepikir rasa bersyukur, gak ada inovasi, gak bisa kreatif dll dsb. Trus gimana dong ngusir rasa bosen or paling gak, membuatnya menjadi bosen positif? (nah lo!) YOU TELL ME! Kalo tau, gw gak bakal posting tulisan yg mboten-mboten bgene! N satu lagi, gw bosen nulis di blog trus elu-elu yg pada mampir gak pada kasih komennnnnnnnnnnn..................... bosen!!!!

Sitting in front of the computer
Looking at my blog
Not feeling satisfied enough
Gotta change the color
No, the accessories
Or the decorations?
Na-ah, may be just the color
May be with some nice details
and others
and some others
?????????????????????????
Browsing the net for ideas
Wondering what to do
on
how to improve
beautify
my blog.
Looking around
..........................
Searching for some help
Seeing Hikari
Nope, that won't do.
Observing my hubby
Impossible!
With that mark on his forehead
read "Don't disturb!"
and Sensei's image
painted on the face
hmmmmmmmmmmm
Thanks, but no thanks
So,

This Mother Day is my second Mother Day! How I'm blessed with the chance to experience it. Alhamdulillah. Being a mother is much a blessing that I can't imagine. After all the mistakes that I've done, still I'm blessed. Being a mother means two things to me: ONE= it shows me the world from so many different angles that perhaps I wouldn't have been able to discover without Hikari. 20 something years ago before he was born, these things were unimaginable to me! Things like how to be unselfish, to smile sincerely, to see beauties in every little thing, to appreciate simple abilities, to love sincerely beyond all the mess that a kid can possible do! And many other things! No matter how incredibly silly I am as a mother, he loves me for who I am...
And TWO= it teaches me the life from my mother's eyes. Her happiness, her sadness, her disappointment, her life. It makes me see through my ego, about all the things I have done and said to her. Things that make her disappointed, that make her proud, that make her sad, that make her cry, or laugh, or go crazy... Oh, yea, I'm sure I've done things that make my mother go crazy, whatever it is, no matter how tough she is. Still, she loves me. For who I am. Her daughter...

Thank You, God, for making me a mother. Thank You too for giving me My Mother.

In the last couple of weeks, I've become rather unproductive here. Don't know why. Just having those moody feelings about writing. Can't find something interesting, and can't interest me with anything. I've tried spending hours in my favorite spot -the best place where ideas usually pop up in my head. What? Where? Ow, you want to know my favorite spot? Well, it's a.. it's a... my bathroom... No, don't laugh! It's not funny. I know a lot of famous writers who get their ideas in the bathroom? Who? I won't tell! Besides, those bathrooms and toilets in the buildings where I worked had really really helped me a lot! They saved me from deadlines! That means from my bosses too who used to scream, "Dev! Article! Deadline!" or "Dev! Next week!" or "Dev! Where is...?" (Geez, come on, guys ...... )
So, I've tried my favorite spot. No luck. I've tried listening to some inspiring songs. I used to play them loudly and then listen to them (with the earphone of course) whenever I got stuck writing. But, still no luck. I was fast asleep with the songs on my ears... What other choices do I have? I can't let my thought wander when I cook, or when I play with Hikari (he'd scream on my ear, and my other ear), or when I read, or when I shop (then I'd buy things I don't need), or when I'm in my Jap class, or when I... Okay, the bottom line is I'm sorry; Sorry guys, for coming here back and forth only to find there's nothing new... :(
