Dance with Me?

Dance with me, will you? You choose the song then we dance. You may look clumsy while I look silly. You can step on my foot and I will make you laugh. It's okay. Just dance.

20 Minutes to Free Write

The first assignment of Wordpress Writing 101 is to take twenty minutes to free write. Here I go.

It rains outside. An Indonesian puppet master, Sujiwo Tejo once said that "If you can't make a poem when it rains then you're ...." I forget what he actually said. It was something like "not romantic" or "doesn't have feeling", or something like that.

I've just realised that I've never posted my poem in this blog. The last time I wrote poem was in 12th grade. I was 17 or 18 at that time. That was a short poem like this

Senja

Pagi ini kulihat senja

Senja?

Percayalah, itu senja

Translation:

Dusk

This morning I saw dusk

Dusk?

Believe me, that was dusk

I remembered that was a last-minute poem. I procrastinated a lot (I still do).

Back to the rain. If I have to write a poem about rain right now it would be like

Rain lightly

Softly

I'm not gloomy,

just sleepy

Duh. I need more practice in writing poem.

It's April 6th and I'm going to have pediatrics written exam on April 17th. I have to revise soon. 

I also have to think about what I should write in my undergraduate thesis. I consider psychiatry. I've thought about one title but I'm required to write three titles first. Those three titles will be validated then I will write thesis with only one title. Why three?!!

Talking about April. If I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be a dry season in Indonesia. Correct me if I'm wrong. Global warming affect the seasonal change, I guess. You know, Sapardi Djoko Damono's poem "Hujan Bulan Juni" means June rain. What's so special about "June Rain"? When the poem was written, the seasons still changed regularly so June was a dry month. At that time, there was no rain on June. The poem "Hujan Bulan Juni" talks about June rain that longs for the flowery tree but it keeps its feeling secret. How do you interpret it? Who do you think June rain is?

Now I'm going to write a case report and look for the three titles, I guess.

Ready?

I sit on a mat. A laptop on my lap. My notebook and pediatric textbook on my side. I've read the textbook and taken some notes. I'm ready for the group discussion tomorrow. I'm ready for the new semester.
Hopefully, everything is all right.

Where's the Camera?

I've just changed my WordPress header. There is no camera at the top but instead, you will see this:

I made that cubeecraft long time ago. It was then thrown away after covered with ash due to Mount Kelud eruption in 2014.

Singing in the Rain

It rains outside and I can't be so cheerful as Gene Kelly in Singing in the Rain video.

Nut and Pepper

They come, stay, then go. They sometimes pour this town with some nuts, sometimes pepper. People don't know who they are. Once upon a time they wear rainbow coloured robes, other time black shirt. They even have floral and stripped clothes. However, still people don't see who they actually are.

Note
Recently a friend of mine told me, or challenged me, to write fictional story. I myself don't write fiction often so I wrote this post as an attempt to write fiction. I just wrote what came to my mind so don't burden your thought by thinking who "they" are in that story because I don't even want to know. If I find out it will be nice, if I don't then I will still be fine. What do you think about this post then? 

Conan, After a Long Time

Recently, I withdrew from facebook (I still do, though). At first I thought I would be bored since I usually spent a lot of time in facebook but I now find out that such withdrawal is a good thing. I should just find another interesting activity and luckily, there was Detective Conan.
My cousin borrowed some Detective Conan comics from her friend and we read it. It's been a long time that I haven't read Conan and when I read it again, I felt the excitement. Reading detective story always makes me curious and thrilled. I just can't stop reading before finding out the culprit and how the case actually happens. Beside that, in Detective Conan, there are a lot of unique facts and I could study without feeling studying.
P. S. If you have read Sherlock Holmes, you'll know that some aspects in Conan are inspired by Sherlock Holmes, like Shinichi knows a person's condition at the first time they met and how he notices details others will miss. Well, Shinichi Kudo is a Sherlockian.

Some Girly Things I Browse

I'm a girl but not so girly. However, I often browse some girly things in internet for fun. Here I have the list.
1. Make up
I rarely wear make up. In fact, I even forget when the last time I wear powder was. I wear minimal make up to a party though. In spite of that, watching and reading some make up tutorial is quite entertaining.
2. Fashion Show
I'm a casual person and I don't follow trend but I often watch fashion show in YouTube. I like to see how the models walk.
3. Wedding Dress and Other Wedding Stuff
I don't plan on wearing dress in my wedding. I prefer kebaya. However, seeing wedding dress pictures with my girlfriends is another kind of fun.
4. Nail Art
I don't polish my nail but I admit that some nail art videos in YouTube are interesting. Visit Robin Moses Nail Art channel for some examples.
5. Hair Do
My hair is short and I usually only comb it and sometimes put bobby pin. However, why not watch some braid tutorial?

Goal Celebration

I watched the World Cup match of Spain vs Australia at a glance (yes, at a glance) and I noticed that there was no "festive" goal celebration. Is "festive" a right word? Sorry, I found difficulty in finding the word for describing the "usual goal celebration". Perhaps I just missed the celebration because I only watched at a glance or maybe there was actually no festive celebration. Well, Spain had lost in the previous two matches and so had Australia and it meant they won't be advanced to round of 16 no matter how they scored in that match. Non festive goal celebration is still nice anyway.
Talking about goal celebration, here are some photos of best goal celebrations. By the way, how could Miroslav Klose do that?
Do you have any personal favourite of goal celebration?

Skipper's Wisdom: Science and Mad Science

It's been a long time that I haven't watched Penguins of Madagascar and suddenly I remember Skipper said something about the benefit and destruction caused by science. I didn't remember what exactly Skipper said (I only remember he mentioned artificial flavor) so I searched and found it in IMDb. Skipper said, "You know, science is a wonderful thing. It gives us toasters, and televisions, and artificial flavors. But mad science that just ends with dicey super weapons, freakish monsters, and artificial flavors." He said that in the episode "Jiggle" when Kowalski invented a jelly that could eat fruit and increase in size.

How to Prevent Procrastination

Just do it.

Здоровье

Recently I found a YouTube channel called funrussian.com and I viewed some videos of it. This channel is related to the website www.funrussian.com and in that website there is "Russian Word of the Day" program. I've subscribed to the program and I get one Russian word every day with an example of sentence containing the word. Today I get the word Здоровье. It's pronounced zda-RO-v'ye and it means health. The sentence, or this time sentences are Береги своё здоровье. Кушай хорошо. It means "Take care of your health. Eat well."

I was excited when I got that word. To make it clear, I'm currently preparing for my upcoming exams and for me, receiving such words feels like hearing positive thing; it's an encouragement. It feels like "ya'atik El 'afi" wish.

25 Minutes: My First Impromptu Post

I used "inspire me!" feature in WordPress and it says, "Take a line from a song that you love or connect with. Now forget the song, and turn that line into the title or inspiration for your post." I've never tried impromptu writing before. I used to make draft first then edit it and finally post it to my blog. This time I write directly in my blog after I got the prompt from WordPress. 

I recently listen a song by MLTR entitled "25 Minutes". For some reason I don't want to explain the lyrics. I just want to write that in that song, the guy is 25 minutes too late. Whoa, 25 minutes doesn't seem short but it's not long either. However, in such duration, a great change can happen. Take your time, use it carefully. Some things should be done quickly while others are better done slowly. You decide how you should use your time.

p.s. I have WordPress page but the contents are the same with this blog.
