Habitus: Sayang Anak, Harusnya Sayang Jangka Panjang

Suatu siang, saat saya masih berkantor di bilangan Salemba dan sedang ada tugas luar kantor, seorang teman, sopir kantor mengeluh tentang tunggakan kontraknya tiga bulan. Sesudah selesai berkeluh kesah, dia tepikan mobil kantor ke depan toko mainan anak-anak dan meminta saya untuk menunggu sebentar... Tidak berapa lama dia masuk mobil dan meletakkan Track Tamiya di jok belakang. Saya jadi gusar. "Tong, bukannya barusan loe ngeluh ga punya duit buat bayar tunggakan kredit rumah? Kenapa sekarang malah beli Track Tamiya ?" "Yah, gapapa lah Nge , kasihan anak gue ... Dari sebulan lalu merengek minta dibelikan, tapi malah dimarahi sama istri gue ... Cuma buat nyenengin anak Nge ." Cuma buat menyenangkan anak , kata-kata itu ga pernah lepas dari ingatan saya. Saya pernah mengalami hal serupa... Waktu itu Ibu meminta saya untuk memilih sunglasses mana yang saya suka... Tadinya saya tidak tertarik untuk membeli, tapi kemudian saya pilih juga satu. Tapi itu adalah bar...

Benarkah Kulit Putih punya Nilai Lebih?

Mungkin ga cuma pria, wanita pun suka melihat yang indah atau cantik, mungkin karena terlebih kami ini makhluk estetika :P. Dengan nilai estetika yang saya punya, saya masih belum bisa menyimpulkan apakah ukuran yang saya pakai selama ini adalah keaslian pikiran saya ataukah karena hasil hipnotis indsutri kecantikan.

Can You Predict the Future?

rediningrum, you are Definitely Pragmatic While you may have thought about starting a dream journal, you're not exactly cashing in on your sixth sense just yet. With a healthy skeptical streak, you tend to be more of a clear thinker than a daydreamer. When it's time to make a decision, you're going to listen to real-world experience, not a spiritual advisor. But even with your healthy dose of skepticism, a little part of you still sometimes thinks that maybe, just maybe, the truth could be more complicated than it seems...Even though you still take everything with a grain of salt, you're always the type to keep an open mind. After all, who knows? Your next "weird feeling" could make you a believer!
