From My New Normal Getaway (Part 2 – End)
[Read the previous part here: FROM MY NEW NORMAL GETAWAY (PART 1)] “Morning Has Broken” might be the right song to sing at 5.30 am on top of the hill ridge that very morning. I woke up at 4.50 am and got ready for a morning walk (or trekking as it involves uneven surfaces) with…
From My New Normal Getaway (part 1)
In the New Normal, people start to leave their homes and do whatever they can to stay sane by finding a place to destress and unwind. I am no exception. This week I was on a very very brief midweek getaway. And I can say it helped me dump all the emotional and psychological baggage…
Mr. Spruce
“Nama Anda seperti nama pembalap,” komentar saya begitu membaca kartu namanya. Sebagai orang asli suatu negeri lengang di belahan bumi utara sana, tingginya cuma rata-rata orang nusantara. Untuk ukuran keturunan suku Viking, saya pikir ia kurang menjulang. . Saya baca jabatannya. Atase, menangani urusan konsuler. Saya pandang lagi raut mukanya dan tampilannya. Dengan kaos sederhana…
Happy Earth Day, Everyone!
“Who are we? We find that we live on an insignificant planet of a humdrum star lost in a galaxy tucked away in some forgotten corner of a universe in which there are far more galaxies than people.”- Carl Sagan If this planet is so insignificant, insubstantial, and inconsequential, how about each of us? Totally…
Plastik Biodegradable Tak Seramah Lingkungan yang Kita Duga
Jangan tertipu. Hanya karena ada awalan “bio”, tidak serta merta sesuatu pasti ramah lingkungan. Seperti itulah yang ditemukan oleh tim peneliti dalam sebuah studi ilmiah yang menyimpulkan bahwa zat tambahan yang umum dibubuhkan dalam plastik yang diklaim biodegradable (lebih mudah dan cepat diurai secara alami di alam bebas) sebenarnya tidak lebih cepat membantu penguraian bahan…
Welcome Drought…
It’s been 3 days since the last time when the water pump operated and managed to suck water from the bowel of earth for us to shower and wash our dirty laundry and whatever needs cleaning. Now, we are almost entering the state of waterlessness if the other well is dried completely. We’re not alone…
Kita Mau #indonesiabersih!!!
Kebersihan sebagian dari iman, begitu katanya. Indah dan ideal sekali. Nyatanya? Di negeri yang secara statistik dipenuhi muslim ini, konsep itu cuma LIP SERVICE! Cuma slogan, hanya motto, semboyan, kata-kata mutiara! Sepanjang mudik kemarin, misalnya, saya saksikan sendiri bagaimana tepi jalan di jalur mudik juga menjadi korban sampah.’ Kasus lain yang baru-baru ini terjadi adalah…
Aku Seneng Ono Sumur Resapan. Tapi Nggawene Rodo Cepet Sithik yo, Pak!
Koyo ngene kahanane dalanan ning kutha Jakarta nek wis bar udan. Opo maneh dina Jumat sore. Wis ora usah sambat nak meh lelungan karo nitih sepeda motor utowo mobil lan taksi. Mesthi macete. Mesthi strese. Mesthi mangkele. Soko pirang dino kapungkur, trotoar ngarepe kantor panggonku nyambut gawe tambah ajur-ajuran. Ora iso dilewati. Iku amargo pemerintah…
Indonesian Forestry Minister was Pissed off by Harrison Ford, as He Should’ve been
I’m glad Harrison Ford pissed him off, as he should have. Because when Indonesians like me can do nothing but keep quiet, we are destroying ourselves. I’m bitterly happy that someone out there, out of the nation, pays attention to what is happening here and slaps us hard on our face. Because to me, actually…
