Diseberangkan Gerimis

  • Posted on July 29, 2009 at 12:57 am

Dalam selang langit yang berubah jadi cahaya,
Dalam lintas yang tidak terlalu padat di sela-sela sibuknya pagi,
Masih tetap diselatan Jakarta,,,,,,
Jam menunjukkan jam 5.15, masih terlalu pagi memang untuk sebuah ukuran Jakarta. Tak seperti biasanya juga aku berjalan keluar dari kompleks (kost-kostan maksudnya, hehhehhe) untuk jalan-jalan mengeluarkan sisa energi yang tumbuh menjadi lemak,, karena rasanya terlalu tambun dan berat kian hari. Untuk ukuran Jakarta yang menuntut semuanya serba cepat, rasanya ga perlu memelihara tubuh terlalu gendut, lebih tepatnya untuk mempertahankan agar tubuh terasa fit dan sehat.

Pagi itu aku liat seorang bapak yang sudah nggak timur lagi ( istilah jawa, timur = muda). Rambutnya mulai memutih, tangan-tangannya mulai keriput, kakinya tak sekokoh dulu lagi (kayaknya :-) ). Selintas dia tersenyum padaku, akupun tersenyum karena kita ke arah yang sama, sama-sama mau menyeberang jalan. Hanya saja aku terdiam tertegun, dan bapak tua itu mulai menyeberang jalan sambil membawa bakul yang dia jinjing dipundak tangan kanan kirinya (pikulan bahasa jawanya, cuma bahasa indonesianya apa, saya ga tahu :) )

powerful bizzare vegetables

  • Posted on July 29, 2009 at 12:52 am

If you’re tired of serving the veggies as sides to every meal you eat, maybe it’s time to try something new. Check out this list of five great vegetables you haven’t heard of yet.

Yucca
Yucca is a white, starchy and tropical root that’s native to South America. It’s a very versatile vegetable that tastes great boiled, baked, roasted, sauteed, pan fried, or even deep fried (yucca chips are to die for). The nice thing about yucca is that it’s loaded with vitamin C and is high in carbohydrates. It’s also a good source of dietary fiber and low in calories.

Arracacha
Arracacha, a starchy root vegetable that hails from South America, is another great vegetable you probably haven’t heard of. Straight out of the ground, arracacha looks like a spearhead. It’s quite fat at the top and narrows to a point — no wonder it earned the nickname “white carrot.” Boil arracacha root and use it as you would a potato, but expect a distinctive taste and aroma. Think celery, chestnuts and roasted cabbage. Arracacha is loaded with vitamins and nutrients: iron, calcium and vitamin A. It’s also low in calories and a great source of starch.

Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince

The wait is over.

Harry Potter and the gang return for the sixth installment of the highly popular Harry Potter series based on the books by J.K. Rowling. This time the story tackles two main plot points : Harry and his friends dealing with their raging hormones and Potter’s attempt at discovering Lord Voldemort’s weaknesses (hocrux). In the meantime, there is plenty of visual wonder to keep the audience barely involved in a pretty boring story.

But unfortunately, the movie confirms what many have felt all along. This is a series of fun adaptations of the wildly successful books without a remarkable movie in the bunch.

That’s not to say that the teen angst-ridden current film is devoid of some special moments. There are plenty of neat little surprises, and the screenplay might be the funniest and best written yet. A guest appearance by Jim Broadbent playing Professor Horace Slughorn nearly steals the show.

LEDAKAN MEGA KUNINGAN

Harusnya hari ini masih bed rest, tapi rasanya gak enak n bosen dirumah sendirian,, hmm, akhirnya memutuskan ngantor sajalah. Berhubung hari ini Ana mau pulkam, maka terpaksa naik ojek. Setelah 1x menawar terjadilah kesepakatan 15rb sampai depan gedung kantorku.

Menembus kemacetan mampang tiba-tiba dikejutkan oleh serangkaian bunyi sirine. 2 ambulance PMI yang diikuti lumayan banyak mobil PMK. Wahh,, ada apa gerangan?? melihat 2 ambulance dan begitu banyak mobil PMK  tentu saja membuatku curiga kalau ini bukan kebakaran biasa, dan curious juga dimana ya kira-kira kejadinnya, dan berniat sesampai di kantor segera mencarinya diinternet.

Saat hujan retak
Tetaplah jadi pelangi
Yang tinggalkan warna biru diujung langit
Beri senyum pada senja jatuh
