di jalan berpayung mahogani

menyelinap kita dari pengawasan penjaga,

melompat pagar, menembus ladang tebu

gatal ilalang teredam  gelak tawa

berbekal sekotak rokok

untuk si bapak pengolah nira

sebotol air dan singkong bersalut gula bekal kita

apa kau ingat jalan yang sering kita lewati?

teduh berpayung mahogani

membuat sejuk, damai di hati

dan kitapun dengan riang menyapa matahari

halo matahari,

aku disini

selamat pagi

Kalau suka nonton acara masak seperti saya, pasti suka juga film ini. Coba deh nonton, seru!
Setelah blockbuster macam Iron Man, Jon Favreau kembali dengan film basic bertema cooking dan berbudget kecil (dibanding Iron Man, tentunya), bercerita tentang chef hebat yang terlalu diatur oleh pemilik restoran tempatnya bekerja.

cuciwis, tahu dan ebi

Cuciwis adalah pucuk tanaman kubis yang sengaja dipotong agar pertumbuhan si kubis menjadi bagus, menurut Ibu Odilia dari detikfood.
Biasanya dijual dalam kemasan stereo form dan plastik. Dia sering muncul di pasar-pasar super, dan jarang muncul di abang-abang tukang sayur. Mang Doyok, tukang sayur langganan, seingat saya baru sekali saja bawa sayur ini.
Menurut saya, cuciwis adalah teman, karena simple diolah, dan dengan bumbu minimalis, cuciwis ini tetap enak dinikmati dengan nasi panas ngepul, hihihihi….

this week movie

 
The Fault In Our Stars
Apa yang akan saya katakan soal film ini?
Hmmm…siapkan tisu yang banyak kalau memutuskan akan nonton film ini.
Bukan nangisin tokoh utamanya yang sekarat karena kanker.
Tapi lebih kepada tentang rasa sayang orang tua yang tak ada habisnya buat anak, terlebih ibu, tidak bermaksud mengecilkan peran ayah, ya (lihat Frannie yang berusaha sekuatnya mendorong Hazel agar tak merasa beda dengan remaja lainnya)
Tentang self confidence.
Tentang peduli kepada orang lain.
Dan juga tentang memahami diri sendiri
Nonton deh, janji ini film nggak akan jadi klise, meskipun temanya basi (abege kena kanker dan ketemu cowok keren, gitu loh)
Nggak usah mikir juga bahwa Augustus ini ada apa nggak, ya di dunia nyata, hehehehehhh…
Hat off buat Laura Dern, Shailene Woodley dan juga Ansel Elgort.
Oh, satu lagi, Willem Dafoe, yang berhasil membuat saya benci setengah mati pada Van Houten (bukan van houten coklat itu by the way).
Lihat eulogy dari Augustus buat Hazel, nyesek deh saya, pengin nangis (lagi):p

Dear Mr. Van Houten,
I'm a good person but a shitty writer.
You're a shitty person but a good writer. I think we'd make a good team.
I don't want to ask you for any favors but if you have the time; from what I saw you have plenty.
Please fix this for me. It's a eulogy for Hazel.
She asked me to write it and I'm trying, it just could use a little flare.
See the thing is we all want to be remembered but Haze's different. Hazel knows the truth.
She didn't want a million admirers she just wanted one and she got it. Maybe she wasn't loved widely but she was loved deeply, and isn't that more than what most of us get?
When Hazel was sick I knew I was dying but I didn't want to say so.
She was in the ICU and I snuck in for ten minutes and sat with her before I got caught. Her eyes were closed, her skin pale, but her hands were still her hands. Still warm, and her nails were painted this dark blue black color, I just held them.
I willed myself to imagine a world without us and what a worthless world that would be. She's so beautiful. You don't get tired of looking at her.
You never worry if she's smarter than you because you know she is. She's funny without ever being mean.
I love her, God I love her. I'm so lucky to love her right now.
You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world but you have a say in who hurts you. I like my choice and I hope she likes hers.
Okay Hazel Grace?
