RAMADAN, Cleaning our heart & our room



August 12 2012 Is last Sunday in Ramadan this year. I spent my along day by visiting market and clearing all that should be clear before Eid.  Washing clothes as usual, founding Eid costume for my nephew (I got cheaper for this year), fitting my dress in tailor, bought new sandals (I got 2 sandals @Rp.70.000, I requested them to gave little discount, and they agreed to cut @Rp.4.000), that was not my plan getting sandals in the market store (I had plan to bought in mall) but those are looked nice on might feet.
Getting holiday only in one day is not felt like refreshing, it is more like get additional work.  You can’t finish all the things you need in Eid preparation only in one day.  But I have no choice than maximal it, Even though it went in hurried. I have no time to clear my room too. It looked like rubbish.  My mom wasn’t stop to grumble and complain me along day.  I became so stress!
Then I tried to organize my room step by step. I realized that dirty place would make chaos and continuously make life so full of distraction.  I looked around of my room and had noticed all things one by one.  There were so many things that I didn’t need anymore.  Ex plastics, medicine, clothes, box of shoes, wedding invitation are mix in one place. 
Actually, I am kind of person who love to save something even just plastic, wedding invitation, etc.  I have an opinion that all the things can be useful. I also think that I can reuse it one day later. Sometimes it really used but not too much in important things. 
Then I reviewed that sight.  I tried to count how may profit it had and how many loses I have got. I spent more much time to save those things than use it as well.  It impacted to my whole life, then I became fully stress, and it didn’t help me too much after being stressed from my workplace.  So in the middle of my bustle, I decided to put away those all rubbish things from my room.  I tried to let my perception go away and to live with few things which I really need only.  It was hard at the beginning, but I ensure my self that it will make my life easier for next, without, confused, messed, stressed, frustrated and etc.
It just needs 1-2 hours to make my room clean.  But I felt enjoy and quite after.  By cleaning room I can little enjoy with my life, can thinking fresh and smart than before.  I just finished cleaning a half of room, but it looked more clean and comfortable.  I think will finished all before Eid come. I can’t imagine having dirty room in Eid day.  Although I have done full fasting in a month, I will feel something less if my room was not clean yet.  Some people might disagree but that is choice, just simple choice to make my life more comfortable and enjoyable. 
I remembered in the previous Eid, I have not enough time to clean the room. I went to Eid Salat by leaving my room in mess.  It wouldn’t stop my big day, but little disturbing my composure. So I hope that case will not repeat in this year.  I will prepare all the things as well to face Eid. Hope Eid in this year will better than before. 
I think make our room clean is not only when Eid comes.  Me, you and others can do that to make our future day more enjoyable and fresh.  Especially for employees who have tight work time like me.

Sentilan Kumpulan Puisi Ublik Karya Ono Sembunglango

Puisi bukan hanya soal keindahan tata bahasa dan olah kata. Puisi mempunyai pencipta yang olehnya terdapat kedalaman rasa. Ini bukan soal data, tapi karya yang dilahirkan dari perpaduan antara kepekaan, perasaan mendalam dan kemampuan untuk menafsirkannya.  Setiap sastrawan melahirkan keresahan yang menyelubungi pikiran dan tubuhnya, sebagaimana Ono Sembunglango ketika melahirkan “Ublik” -yang merupakan kumpulan buku puisi pertamanya.  Meski bukan lahir dari daun lontar dan kertas Sinar Dunia, Ublik yang dikumpulkan melalui catatan media digital ini tetap menjadi sebuah catatan keresahan yang mewakili suatu masa. Pak Ono, mungkin begitu saja saya memanggilnya. Seorang yang saya temui dalam event blogger 2 Oktober 2024 lalu. Saya -yang bukan siapa-siapa dan baru dalam dunia blogger ini- tidak begitu banyak mengenal orang, dan saya tidak akan mengenal beliau andai kata teman sebelah saya tak menyebut kata Sutardji Calsoum Bahcri, sang maestro puisi mbeling. Ia bilang Sutardji ...

Mengendus Buku Jurnalisme di Luar Algoritma

Ada yang berubah dari wajah jurnalisme kita. Masyarakat di era ini membutuhkan kecepatan, berita harus diramu secara cepat kalau tidak mau ketinggalan. Tak dipungkiri wartawan kalah adu cepat dengan warga yang berada di tempat.  Soal kode etik mungkin mereka tak paham tapi kecepatan tentu tak diragukan. Siapa peduli dengan kode etik di jaman ini? Publik lebih menikmati video kejadian yang diambil para amatir dengan dalih originalitas. Soal akurasi tentu media juara, tapi kecepatan bisa jadi sebaliknya.  Sebenarnya hal seperti ini sudah bisa terendus dari belasan tahun lalu, saat di mana kemampuan handphone semakin di upgrade dan internet semakin dekat dengan masyarakat. Jurnalisme warga kala itu disambut sukacita sebelum pada akhirnya membuat tatanan dunia digital semakin chaos . Roma perubahan ini tentunya terendus media sedari lama, namun beda hal soal tanggapan. Ada yang bergerak cepat dan berupaya menyesuaikan diri tapi ada juga yang perlu lebih dulu mengkaji. Di luar cep...

Merayakan Ulang Tahun dengan Glamping di Puncak Bogor

  Laki-laki memang sulit ditebak. Dari sekian banyak tawaran hadiah ulang tahun yang saya tawarkan, suami justru memilih camping. Masalahnya, kami berdua bagai langit dan bumi, kutub utara dan selatan. Berbeda dalam segala hal termasuk memilih tempat liburan. Suami cenderung memilih tempat-tempat tenang, tidak banyak orang, dingin dan bisa beristirahat seperti camping dan hiking sementara saya lebih suka ramainya pasar, konser musik, serta wisata-wisata kota. Tapi karena ini soal hari jadi suami maka saya harus banyak-banyak mengalah. Yah bolehlah camping asal jangan dulu hiking . Sebenarnya sudah lama juga saya ingin menemaninya hiking tapi memang kondisi belum cukup baik dan saya belum berdamai dengan udara dingin. Kipasan satu jam saja saya tidak kuat apalagi menahan dinginnya gunung?! Lalu kami pun melakukan deal-dealan dan sampailah ke kata glamping. Istilah glamping belakangan cukup populer, bukan? Camping tapi glamor. Kalau camping kita masih harus repot-repot membawa...
