Elizabeth Is Missing - Emma Healey

Elizabeth Is Missing – Emma Healey

I snatched this book from a shelf in front of the entrance of a local library. I’ve never heard of the title nor the author before. I decided to check it out simply because the jacket blurb said it was a suspense/thrilled, and it labeled “great reads” by the library. I end up loving it. Picture taken by me. Maud is an elderly woman suffering from dementia who was looking for Elizabeth, an elderly…

Moms At War: Pick Your Own Battles!

Ini bukan ajakan perang untuk para ibu. Quite the opposite, I’d say. Sudah lama aku merasa overwhelmed dengan begitu banyaknya artikel dan catatan ilmiah maupun pribadi tentang liku-liku pengasuhan anak yang berseliweran di sosial media. Dioper dan disebarkan sesering dan semudah satu sentilan ibu jari. Saking mudah dan cepatnya berbagi berita, kita kadang lupa (atau nggak sempat) berpikir…

Hari Pertama Sendiri Bersama si Gendhuk

Semenjak pertengahan 2011 menginjakkan kaki di buminya Paman Sam, aku dan suami terbiasa hidup jauh dari keluarga. Teman jadilah saudara.

Memilih untuk tidak bekerja, aku pun terbiasa sendirian di rumah. I enjoy my moment of solitary at home. As a matter of fact, I don’t mind being by myself in (almost) any given time. Biasanya, satu hari kubagi untuk mengerjakan pekerjaan rumah dan pekerjaan…

My Workout Songs and Why

Fair warning: I’m an old-skool and a fervent devotee. So you will not see a list of Top 40s nor modern edgy music. Frankly, Gaga and Katy Perry are currently my best attempt in appreciating the new age of music.

1. Any song from Foo Fighters. Dave Grohl’s voice never fails me. His voice and the songs constantly fuel me up. Always have since college years when I had to pull all nighters to finish…

8 Mei 2014, “Apakah dia takut?” pikir saya saat itu, memikirkan bagaimana caranya agar dia merasa nyaman dengan saya. Sejujurnya saya juga takut. Takut salah langkah, salah bicara. Ia datang mengenakan syal besar dan sebuah masker yang menutupi separuh wajahnya. Ia tampak gusar. Tangannya gemetar....

Good bye cool jeans with fading colors and unfortunate holes that only make you cooler! I hope we can reunite in a year or so! #optimist #makewayforBabybump

Dearest creature in creation, Study English pronunciation. I will teach you in my verse Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse. I will keep you, Suzy, busy, Make your head with heat grow dizzy. Tear in eye, your dress will tear. So shall I! Oh hear my prayer. Just compare heart, beard, and...

A woman is pitching a project to a prospective client. A bunch of girls are waving goodbyes. A Russell Crowe-looking man is reading a newspaper. A lady is contemplating the condiments bar. A whiff of caffein and a buzz of voices floating about. The place is bustling with morning excitements. And yet I'm sipping this solemnly, in the convenience of my home.

What Are You Doing New Years Eve? by Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt (by hellogiggles)

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Why I love Augustus Waters

"I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I am in love with you." --Augustus Waters (The Fault in Our Stars by John Green) Sounds like a ramble but can't get over it. So I decoded it--translated it to Indonesian--and still it wooes me. "Aku cinta kamu, dan aku tahu kalau cinta cuma teriakan dalam kehampaan, dan bahwa lupa itu tak terhindarkan, dan bahwa kita semua dikutuk dan akan datang hari dimana segala jerih payah kembali jadi debu, dan aku tahu matahari akan menelan satu-satunya bumi yang kita punya, dan aku cinta kamu."
