Jakarta Flona Festival 2011

By
I've told you that I'm a biggest fan of flower. And on Friday 22nd of July in the middle of my busy work hours, my friends asked me to join them to Jakarta Flona (Flora and Fauna) Festival 2011 in Lapangan Banteng, Central Jakarta. Luckily that wasn't very far from my office, it took only 15 minutes by car. Aaaannd yupiiieee, I was so glad seeing so many flowers and other plants out there.

And I found a heaven there...., simply like this. They're so colorful, bright, and fresh as you can see from the picture.
Do you know things about flowers?
Ralph Waldo Emerson said that, "Flowers, are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty outvalues all the utilities of the world." And for me, yes absolutely they are. They're just like the most beautiful product God creates to the face of the earth. They give earth fragrance, their colors speak beauty, and when they bloom it seems that they give a hope to life.
(Carnation)

Can you see that flowers have their own characteristic and personality? They bring emotion, any kind of emotion; happiness, cheer, strength, sadness, hope, femininity, or even power.

Here some women seemed to buy some plants.

As this was Flona Festival, of course it's not only about the floral, but also the faunas, even tho I rarely saw animals there. Most of them were just pets, and you know what? I'm not that interested enough in pet except this one attracted my attention. These cocks (ops! I think I should choose another diction) I mean these roosters can really laugh. They made me laugh their laughter ha ha ha. Seriously, the can laugh a human laughter.

#Day 7: Daisy, Kumbang dan Matahari Bercerita pada Taman

By
Than there to look upon the daisy, That for good reason men do name The ‘day’s-eye’ or else the ‘eye of day,’ The  Empress,  and flower of flowers all. I pray to God good may her befall.   ~Chaucer   Adalah bunga liar nan tumbuh bergerombol, kecil-kecil dengan warna putih dan nektarnya yang kuning, semarak menghiasi taman dengan kemilau yang mengharmonisasi hijau daun dan alang-alang. Ia selalu ingin bisa seperti mereka yang indah dan anggun menghiasi taman. Ia kemudian hanya bisa tersenyum simpul, tangkai dan kelopaknya berdansa kian kemari tatkala angin semilir meniup kehidupannya yang nyaris sempurna. Chaucer berfilosofi, daisy adalah "the day's eye" matanya hari, matahari. Ia mencuri bentuk Matahari. Bentuknya menyerupai mata sang hari, yang begitu indah menerangi. Tapi di sudut taman ini, ada setangkai Daisy yang merasa kelabu, harapannya kosong. Daisy yang tidak pernah bisa percaya diri, Daisy yang tidak pernah bisa melihat bahwa dirinya sa...

Jadikan Aku yang Kedua!

"Jadikan aku yang kedua... Buatlah diriku bahagia..." Lirik lagu Astrid ini tetiba terngiang-ngiang saat saya membaca status FB (anonim) yang di-share oleh teman saya. Baca deh... dan buat Ibu-Ibu yang anti poligami siap-siap geregetan yaaa... Terlepas ini postingan siapa, anonim sekalipun, saya cuma mau bilang, ke pasar gih Mbak, beli ketimun yang banyak. Oppss!! Sorry terdengar tidak senonoh dan hardcore yaaa, gimana nggak, kata-kata yang tertulis dalam statusnya juga seputar itu kan? "kenapa hanya tidur dipelukan satu istri saja?" Hey, menjadi seorang imam itu bukan hanya masalah di tempat tidur, dan statement itu lebih kepada nafsu bukan sunnah. Oke well, masalah nafsu, birahi, itu manusiawi dan sesuatu fitrah, jikaaa... hanya jika disampaikan dengan cara yang fitrah juga. Nafsu yang seperti ini selalu dikaitkan dengan sunnah, padahal (cmiiw, sunnah Nabi yang lain itu banyak keleeuuss, kalau memang tujuannya adalah mengikuti sunnah Nabi). Berpoligami t...
