Tanya Kenapa: Cotton Bud

Tolong jangan tunjukkan simpati dengan orang yang menjual korek kuping (cotton buds) di pinggir jalan atau di lampu lalu lintas… Hanya ingin mengingatkan anda untuk tidak membeli sebungkus korek kuping yang dibeli dari pinggir jalan. Korek kuping itu terbuat dari kapas yang telah dipakai dirumahsakit. Mereka memisahkan semua yang kotor, darah, dan lainnya mencucinya kemudian di bleaching dengan pemutih kemudian dibuatlah korek kuping. Jadi, jika anda tidak ingin menjadi orang pertama yang menderita Herpes Zoster Octicus (infeksi virus telinga bagian dalam, tengah, dan luar) maka JANGAN BELI KOREK KUPING DI PINGGIR JALAN. Infokan teman anda, jika anda peduli.

Si boru Pandiangan pagi ini mengirimkan message di YM Oma seperti di atas.

Reaksi Oma? Ngakak,.... (kak,.. kak,... kak,....)

Siapaaaa juga yang mau beli cotton bud di pinggir jalan?! hehehheeh,... wes wes,... Tapi Oma maklum lah kalo yang 'iseng' beli cotton bud tuh orang-orang Jakarta (mohon maaf dulu, please baca lanjutannya V^^), karenaa kan jakarta macet banget tuh. Dan pas Oma ke Jakarta beberapa bulan lalu, banyak banget orang jualan di pinggir-pinggir jalan. Mungkiiin, korban macet tuh uda be-te banget dan liat tukang jualan cotton bud.

Dan,... Triiing,...! Muncullah ide untuk korek kuping. Yeah,.. buat killing time lah! :)

Masuk akal kan analisa Oma?

Soalnya kalo di Surabaya, kayaknya peristiwa macet yang jam-jaman itu jarang terjadi, ke-cu-a-li kalau musim hujan dan bapak Walikota yang berjanji-janji palsu untuk memperbaiki tata kota Surabaya belum juga memperbaiki jalan-jalan dan selokan, sehingga BUANJIR!

Ah, terlepas dari Jakarta dan Surabaya, emang orang Indonesia ini kelewat kreatif! Kapas bekas dijual lagi, gorengan dikasih plastik biar gurih dan kemriuk, es cincau dikasih pengawet supaya bisa tahan berminggu-minggu, jajanan untuk anak-anak SD dikasih 'selai narkoba' dan masih banyak lagi.

Kenapa yang mereka tega melakukan hal-hal yang merugikan orang lain, dan ngga jarang membahayakan or mematikan? Apa lapangan kerja di Indonesia begitu minim sehingga banyak orang melakukan aksi 'kreatif' ini untuk menyambung nyawa? Apa sedemikian tidak adilnya kehidupan di Indonesia sehingga membunuh (apapun bentuk dan aksinya) menjadi solusi tepat dan cepat untuk menyelamatkan diri? *jadi inget Mami Rose* Apa begitu mahal harga bensin dan sembako sehingga membuat banyak orang gelap mata dan mencari cara a la mie instan untuk menghasilkan uang?

Salah siapa coba?

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho

One of my closest friends is getting married tomorrow another one in May another one in November. and an ex-classmate is also getting married in April/May. and, I dreamed about getting married last night. I remember some months ago I was so enthusiastic with the idea of getting married. Although I knew that our relationship was not yet ready for that stage, I was so pushy to Stefy. I had asked him when exactly we would get married. Ah well, it was all the flashy things that I longed for. Right now, what I want is to avoid it! I am just not brave enough to throw myself into this new status. Don't get me wrong, I am probably just like any other girls out there who like the beautiful wedding gown, like to be made up, like to be the queen of the night. But, have you ever considered what would happen after you wave off the guests and head to your own home, starting your new chapter of life? or what would happen after the happy chappy honeymoon? Would we then live

WSAD? (What Should Ariel Do?)

As a communication expert, we always need to be prepared for crisis communication or disaster management. If a company suffered a bad publication, or when bad things happened, like with BP’s oil spill or Toyota’s cars, the communication people need to work very hard to communicate the right message (while some other people work on to make things right) and to win the public favour again. In theory, companies need to be prepared for crisis way in advance; however not many companies did that. I believe, Ariel had also never thought that such drama would happen, but yeah, here it is, and he has to face it! So, here is my humble opinion regarding what he needs to do to clear the air: Scenario 1: Launch a single/album Celebrities, especially musicians, usually would create a drama or scandal to increase their popularity in order to promote the next movie, single, or album that would be launched. What Ariel could do is to write a song (or an album) as soon as possible and launch it! And thee
