Jakarta Flona Festival 2011

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.

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.

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...

#Day 20: STFO

This is the story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody. There was an important job to be done. And Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about this because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It will end up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done. End. Guys, I believe that these four people are surround you, everywhere you are; at office especially, in a team work definitely, or probably at class. You know it sucks. Because yes, it sucks. Whoever you are; Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, or Nobody, please STFO and do your own job. *Image from "The Office" movie Illustration
