Ayah shock, sambil berpikir, emang kita bisa ngapain ya? Trus ketawa.

Penghulu saat akad.
Kenapa sih penghulu itu rewel saat akad nikah? Mungkin karena itu satu-satunya waktu mereka diperhatikan orang. Kasihan amat, tapi nyebelin.

Wonderful quote mengenai orang tua
Tulisan ini membuatku kangen sama Papa Mama. Salah satu sikap yang kuperhatikan dari seseorang adalah bagaimana ia memperlakukan orang tuanya, jadi artikel ini sangat menyentuh sekali.
Setelah menjadi orang tua, aku sangat merasakan betapa besar pengorbanan dan rasa sayang orang tua kepada anaknya, dan tidak akan cukup usia orang tua itu bagi sang anak untuk membalasnya. Itu mungkin one of those things that you can only pay forward.
Menurut pelajaran mitologiku dulu, figur ayah adalah sosok yang membimbing dan menunjukkan arah, sedangkan figur ibu adalah yang melindungi dan menyayangi. Aku sangat beruntung untuk memiliki lebih dari satu pasang orang tua, ragam mereka memberikan pengalaman yang bewarna-warni.
Bersyukurlah kalau masih memiliki orangtua. Jangan menunda untuk mengatakan bahwa kamu menghargai usaha mereka sejauh saat ini. Tidak masalah kok untuk menyatakan rasa sayang setiap hari, we do it everyday.
Happy thoughts to you all.

Kalau mau melihat aslinya orang..
I'm tired of looking at this sentence.
Pada saat marah, orang keluar aslinya. Pada saat dalam tekanan, orang keluar aslinya.
Aku capek mendengarnya.
Perilaku orang pada saat marah adalah perilakunya saat marah, pada tekanan adalah perilaku pada saat dalam tekanan. Itu bukan berarti apa-apa pada situasi yang lain.
Ini adalah tipikal orang yang terlalu cepat menilai orang lain dan malas untuk belajar mengenal orang terlebih dahulu.
Orang seperti ini tidak cocok jadi hakim.

On perseverence
Diana put it here [http://dianarikasari.blogspot.com/2009/05/quote-of-day.html]
Quote of the Day
"Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. It's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere."
- Barack Obama -

Turunkan Panas Bayi
1. Blog ini menerangkan apa yang harus diperhatikan bila bayi demam. Untuk 6 bulan ke atas, batasnya pada umumnya adalah 39,4 derjat celcius.
"kita bisa mulai memberikan tindakan jika suhu tubuh mencapai 38 derajat Celsius(100.4 derajat Fahrenheit) dan beri bayi kita obat yang mengandung paracetamol sesuai dosis yang telah direkomendasikan oleh dokter anak kita. Pastikan suhu di ruangan kamar bayi kita juga tidak terlalu panas. Jangan beri paracetamol pada bayi dibawah 3 bulan cobalah di kompres dengan handuk/kain tebal dengan air hangat hangat kuku/suam suam."
2. Artikel ini menerangkan hal yang sama, lebih komprehensif.
"If fever is a defense against infection, is it really a good idea to try to bring it down?
Since fever is part of the body's defense against bacteria and viruses, some researchers suggest that the body may fight infections more effectively when its temperature is elevated. (Bacteria and viruses prefer an environment that's around 98.6 degrees F, or 37 degrees C.) A fever also tells the body to make more white blood cells and antibodies to fight the infection.
On the other hand, if your baby's temperature is too high, he'll be too uncomfortable to eat, drink, or sleep, and that will make it harder for him to get better.
If your little one's fever isn't affecting his behavior, you don't need to give him anything to lower it. Offer him plenty of breast milk or formula to prevent dehydration, and don't overdress him or bundle him up when he's sleeping.
If your baby's body temperature is higher than normal because of extra clothes or a scorching day, help him cool down by taking off a few of his layers and letting him rest or play quietly in a cool spot."

Sashimi
How does it feel to dedicate your life to your work? Sitting in a sashimi bar, I wonder if the answer of my questions lies in dedication.
You dedicate your time to something beautiful and to the goodness of others.
That sounds like a life purpose. I can die at peace with that.
That sushi chef taught me more of life than most lecturer I had.

Dr. Manhattan is the all knowing all powerful. He could stop anything, but he didn't.
Did he lose care? Don't know yet, but I suspect he lost some people that he love.
I guess being almighty has its price.
I think he lost care because he was abandoned.

Days of the week

Most workers coast through Monday getting their brain in gear and catching up with gossip from the weekend through social networking sites.
But on Tuesday reality sets in and staff spend the first part of the day going through emails they ignored on Monday before planning the week ahead.
And 11.45am is the point when everything comes to a head.

Obama blew lid on CIA method
I'm awed. But like the rest of the world, there's nothing Indonesia can do.
It makes me think of what our method of interrogation may be.
====
Washington, April 16, 2009 (AFP) -
President Barack Obama Thursday blew the lid on harsh CIA terror interrogations approved by ex-president George W. Bush, including the use of insects, simulated drowning and sleep deprivation.
But despite releasing four partially blacked-out memos detailing the tactics, Obama said operatives who carried out the interrogations would not be prosecuted, saying they acted on orders and were defending their country.
"This is a time for reflection, not retribution," Obama said.
"We have been through a dark and painful chapter in our history. But at a time of great challenges and disturbing disunity, nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past."
The graphic memos offered a stunning glimpse inside the covert interrogation program introduced after the September 11 attacks in 2001, which critics say equated to torture, and Obama said undermined America's moral authority.
The documents were written by Bush administration legal officials and argued that a long list of coercive techniques did not equal torture as they did not amount to the inflicting severe mental or physical pain.
Detailing methods used to question Al-Qaeda terror suspects, the memos reveal the use of dietary manipulation, forced nudity, facial and abdominal slaps, and the use of confined or "stress positions" for suspects.
In one technique known as "walling," interrogators could push a suspect against a false wall, so his shoulder blades make a slamming noise and make him think the impact is greater than in reality.
The memos also show interrogators asked for a ruling on whether the placing of a harmless insect in a cramped box with Al-Qaeda terror suspect Abu Zubaydah equated to torture.
The technique "certainly does not cause physical pain" and therefore could not be termed as torture and should be permissible, one of the memos said.
Similarly, techniques included waterboarding or simulated drowning, walling and sleep deprivation also fell short of torture, the memos said.
Another memo details a 'prototypical interrogation,' which begins with a detainee stripped of his clothes, shackled, and hooded, "with the walling collar over his head and around his neck."
Human rights groups reacted with dismay to Obama's decision to shield interrogators from prosecution.
"The Department of Justice appears to be offering a get-out-of-jail-free card to individuals who, by US Attorney General Eric Holder's own estimation, were involved in acts of torture," said Larry Cox, executive director of Amnesty International.
The Center for Constitutional Rights said the immunity for officials was "one of the deepest disappointments" of the Obama administration.
"Government officials broke very serious laws: for there to be no consequences not only calls our system of justice into question, it leaves the gate open for this to happen again."
In a statement, Obama said the tactics adopted by the administration of his predecessor "undermine our moral authority and do not make us safer."
He said he was releasing the documents to avoid "an inaccurate accounting of the past," which would "fuel erroneous and inflammatory assumptions about actions taken by the United States."
"In releasing these memos, it is our intention to assure those who carried out their duties relying in good faith upon legal advice from the Department of Justice that they will not be subject to prosecution," he said in a statement.
"The men and women of our intelligence community serve courageously on the front lines of a dangerous world," he said.
Dennis Blair, the Director of National Intelligence said the torture memos must be read in the context of the "horror" of the September 11 attacks.
"Those methods, read on a bright, sunny, safe day in April 2009, appear graphic and disturbing," he said, but pledged Washington would not use similar methods in future.
"But we will absolutely defend those who relied on these memos and those guidelines," he said.
A federal court had given the government until Thursday to either turn over the memos in response to a lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union or explain why they cannot be released.
The memos were authored by Jay Bybee and Steven Bradbury, who at the time were lawyers for Bush's Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel.

Tidak mau sembako murah
Aku nggak mau sembako murah. Aku mau memiliki pekerjaan dengan uang yang cukup untuk membeli apa yang kubutuhkan.
Aku tidak mau uang tunai, aku mau penghasilan yang pasti ada, pemasukan yang stabil pertumbuhannya.
Aku tidak bisa hidup hanya dengan hasil alam, aku mau pendidikan yang memberikanku keahlian untuk berkarya, dan pasar yang mengapresiasi dan mampu membeli.
Aku mau negaraku secara keseluruhan menarik devisa dr negeri lain, bukan mengalirkan devisa keluar.
Ada diantara kalian (partai) yang mampu melakukan itu?

Keluar rumah, jalur adalah tol 1500 jagorawi. Setelah itu, pilihannya adalah langsung uki atau tol dalam kota. Biasanya kalau berangkat pagi atau bareng Dedet, langsung uki. Tapi kalau sendiri, jadinya tol. How do I differ when I'm alone in that decision making?

I have all the answers that you need that you might not want now
A friend asked me a question that took me some years to answer. I had so much to give to her.
Appearantly, some of it was too much for her. I feel that I am looking at her and seeing me, some years back, eyes wide shut.
Maybe later, then.

True heroes
They came out of nowhere unnoticed, helped me up, gave me a hand, before I knew it, they left. Too late to thank them. I've encountered these people several times in my life. God does have a mysterous ways to help you.
To these people, from the bottom of my heart, I thank Thee.

Lullaby - Dixie Chicks
Habis ngomong sama Kiki soal anak, jadi kangen sama si kentut :p
Liriknya menyayat.

They didn't have you where I come from
Never knew the best was yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
And I hear your laugh like a serenade
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
I slip in bed when you're asleep
To hold you close and feel your breath on me
Tomorrow there'll be so much to do
So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
As you wander through this troubled world
In search of all things beautiful
You can close your eyes when you're miles away
And hear my voice like a serenade
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

Flu pada bayi
"The majority of over-the-counter cough and cold medicines for children under 12 doesn't work and should NOT be given to them at all."
http://www.thebabywebsite.com/article.1797.Avoid_Childrens_Cough__Cold_Remedies.htm
Males banget, terus aja.. takutin orang tuanya.
All natural's way to treat cold
http://www.essortment.com/all/babiescolds_rjzv.htm
PREVENTION
To reduce your baby’s risk of getting a cold:
*Breastfeed your baby if possible, as long as possible. Breast milk provides your baby with antibodies, which are important for fighting infection and strengthening baby’s immune system.
*Wash your hands. Make sure everyone in the household washes their hands frequently. If small children are unable to wash their own hands, do it for them. Use plenty of soap and water, and dry thoroughly to prevent chapping.
CONGESTION
*Let your shower run on hot to create your own steam room. Sit in the bathroom with your baby for 10-15 minutes, three to four time a day. Do not put baby in the shower, and do not leave baby unattended in the bathroom. Be sure to keep the bathroom door closed to keep the steam in. This will help loosen baby’s congestion. After you’re done, you may need to wipe baby’s nose, or use a bulb syringe to gently suction secretions from baby’s nose.
*Saline (salt and water) nose drops are good for thick, dry nasal secretions. There are brands made specifically for infants. Tilt baby’s head back and instill 2-3 drops in each nostril. The saline will loosen secretions and make them easier to blow or suction out. Saline gel, which is fairly new, is good for dry, chapped noses. Spread a little of the gel around the outside, and just inside, both nostrils.
*Keep baby in an upright or semi-upright position to encourage nasal drainage. If possible, put a pillow UNDER the head end of baby’s crib mattress. NEVER put a pillow in the crib with baby.
*Use a cool mist humidifier in baby’s room at night to keep the air moist. This will help prevent secretions from drying out. Use distilled or filtered water in the humidifier. Tap water will cause particle build-up in the humidifier, and will also leave a filmy dust over everything.
*Give your baby plenty of fluids to help thin secretions and prevent dehydration, especially when diarrhea is present.
COUGH
*Use a cool mist humidifier and make sure baby is drinking plenty of fluids. This helps to thin mucus and makes it easier for baby to expel secretions.
*For older babies not breastfeeding or on formula, limit dairy products for a few days. Milk and other dairy products can cause very thick mucus, which can be difficult for baby to clear.
*For children over one year, make your own cough remedy: 1 part lemon juice to 2 parts honey mixed in a small amount of warm water makes an effective, soothing drink for irritated throats.
*Keep baby’s head elevated to make it easier to cough. Keep your baby sitting up as much as possible and/or put a pillow under the head of the crib mattress (NEVER on top of the mattress).

What to do when laid off
Time wrote this.http://www.time.com/time/business/article/0,8599,1881805,00.html
Is it O.K. to express that you think the layoff is unfair, if you think it really shouldn't have been you?
Probably not. The reason why is that it makes no difference. They're not suddenly going to press the rewind button and totally unlay you off. It's just going to make you look petulant, and it's going to leave a bad taste in everybody's mouth. And you're going to look back and say, "Gosh, I wish I hadn't said that." It gets you nowhere, and dignity will get you everywhere. ( See the top 10 financial collapses of 2008.)

Craiglist
PS: I looooove my mother in law.
Wiki craiglist:
"Craigslist is a centralized network of online communities, featuring free online classified advertisements – with jobs, internships, housing, personals, erotic services, for sale/barter/wanted, services, community, gigs, résumés, and pets categories – and forums on various topics.
The service was founded in 1995 by Craig Newmark for the San Francisco Bay Area. After incorporation as a private for-profit company in 1999, Craigslist expanded into nine more U.S. cities in 2000, four each in 2001 and 2002, and 14 in 2003. As of September 2007[update], Craigslist has established itself in approximately 450 cities in 50 countries...
Having observed people helping one another in friendly, social and trusting communal ways on the Internet, the WELL, and Usenet, and feeling isolated as a relative newcomer to San Francisco, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark decided to create something similar for local events."
This is a funny post in Craiglist:

Dear Mother-in-law,
You have gotten on my last nerve. Seriously, cut the fucking apron strings already. Stop "dropping by' 5-7 fucking times a week. Call first. If your 'baby' doesn't answer, don't come by, just to see if we're home and not answering. I mean, who fucking does that? And if he doesn't answer, don't call my phone looking for him, then my son's cell phone, then leave some fucking smart ass message on the answering machine that you have called every number we have and NO ONE is answering!!! And then you start all over with calling him, then me,etc...within 3 minutes of leaving that fucking message!! And quit just walking into my house when you get there. Ever heard of knocking? I swear, one of these days, we're not going to see you walking up the driveway and have enough time to scramble and get our clothes back on and you are going to catch your son's big dick in my mouth. How am I supposed to look at you across the table on holidays knowing you saw me doing that? Oh and i KNOW his old loser girlfriends before me didn't mind your incessant calling, dropping by and butting in--you've told me enough times-- but his wife DOES!! We have jobs and kids and lives that don't revolve around you and you trying to stick your nose into every aspect of our lives -from what movie you think is 'appropriate" for your 14 year old grandkid to watch, to where we go out at on the weekends. Nothing and I mean NOTHING we do is any of your fucking business. If I hear you say one more fucking time "OH! I don't think that's right!!", regarding some decision we've made when discipling our kids, I swear i will take my frying pan and crack it over your fucking ignorant head. Did I ask for your opinion?? Nope, sure didn't and I never will. Oh and p.s....Do you see MY mother 'stopping by' at my house every fucking day of the week? No? That's right, we weren't raised that way. We were taught to CALL first, to see if the person is even interested in having company. I would never dream of stopping at someone's house at 10:00 at night to 'visit' for an hour, when I know my precious son and his wife both get up at 4am for work, 5 days a week. Totally unacceptable behavior. You have really gotten on my last fucking nerve and I really can't stand you. When I hear my husband mention your name I fucking cringe. We could have had a decent relationship, but you have messed all that up with your continuous fucking PRESENCE!! Not to mention the fact that all you do is bitch and complain about how we live our lives and raise our kids. Nobody fucking asked you. And NO I am NOT cooking something for Sunday dinner, so quit dropping by at dinner time to see for yourself if I really didn't cook something for your precious baby. I DIDN'T. I HAVE A FUCKING LIFE. I have a 4 year old and a 14 year old and a job in another city that I commute to more than 40 hours a week. I'm not cooking every night and every fucking Sunday for your precious baby. Cook it your damn self and invite us over for a change. And also, quit TAKING A SHIT at my house every single time you stop by. That grosses me out completely. You know damn well you live exactly three minutes down the road (which is a big part of the problem), so go shit at your own house, nasty! I've just had enough.
Love,
...I am SO over you!!!....
Wiki craiglist:
"Craigslist is a centralized network of online communities, featuring free online classified advertisements – with jobs, internships, housing, personals, erotic services, for sale/barter/wanted, services, community, gigs, résumés, and pets categories – and forums on various topics.
The service was founded in 1995 by Craig Newmark for the San Francisco Bay Area. After incorporation as a private for-profit company in 1999, Craigslist expanded into nine more U.S. cities in 2000, four each in 2001 and 2002, and 14 in 2003. As of September 2007[update], Craigslist has established itself in approximately 450 cities in 50 countries...
Having observed people helping one another in friendly, social and trusting communal ways on the Internet, the WELL, and Usenet, and feeling isolated as a relative newcomer to San Francisco, Craigslist founder Craig Newmark decided to create something similar for local events."

Dear Mother-in-law,
You have gotten on my last nerve. Seriously, cut the fucking apron strings already. Stop "dropping by' 5-7 fucking times a week. Call first. If your 'baby' doesn't answer, don't come by, just to see if we're home and not answering. I mean, who fucking does that? And if he doesn't answer, don't call my phone looking for him, then my son's cell phone, then leave some fucking smart ass message on the answering machine that you have called every number we have and NO ONE is answering!!!

Don't blow your nose
[http://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/10/health/10real.html?ex=1250139600&en=c1e54481d6fbd361&ei=5087&WT.mc_id=HL-D-I-NYT-MOD-MOD-M081-ROS-0209-PH&WT.mc_ev=clic]
Blowing your nose can create a buildup of excess pressure in sinus cavities.
The proper method is to blow one nostril at a time and to take decongestants, said Dr. Anil Kumar Lalwani, chairman of the department of otolaryngology at the New York University Langone Medical Center. This prevents a buildup of excess pressure.

Reading fiction is a waste of my time
Dengan teman kerja, aku pernah membahas kalau membaca cerita fiksi itu membuang-buang waktu. Aku ingat kalau aku tertawa dan setuju.
Pagi ini, setelah membaca beberapa bacaan, aku mulai teringat sesuatu. Pada siklusnya kebudayaan manusia, fiksi (dan bentuk seni lainnya) adalah gambaran yang jelas dari apa yang dipikirkan dan (terutama sekali) yang dirasakan oleh masyarakat pada saat itu. Seniman menangkap esensi tersebut dan menuangkannya dalam bentuk yang indah, dalam bentuk yang telanjang ataupun dibungkus dengan pengandaian.
Di dalam tamadun yang berbeda, seni justru mendorong pergerakan kebudayaan ke bentuk selanjutnya, memaksa semua kubik kehidupan lainnya untuk bergerak, memberikan satu tujuan di depan yang tadinya tidak bisa didefinisikan oleh pihak lain, terutama teknologi. Ini sebabnya kenapa kita menonton pintu yang membuka dan menutup sendiri di film sebelum memiliki teknologinya, dan juga sebab kenapa kita melihat interface yang bereaksi terhadap beberapa sentuhan sekaligus sebelum memiliki konsep teknologinya.
Jadi, seni (atau dalam bentuk yang lebih kecil dan lebih kontekstual terhadap bahasan ini, cerita fiksi) memiliki peran yang seringkali kritikal sebagai sebab atau akibat dari sebuah ide tertentu dalam suatu kebudayaan. Karena itu, keberadaannya menjadi esensial.
Tentu saja, itu bukan berarti cerita tersebut harus dibaca. Selalu ada review atau sinopsis. Dalam 800 halaman, ada 1-2 halaman ringkasan yang esensial dan menangkap pesan penting dari bacaan tersebut. Jadi, tetap saja, bagiku (dan mungkin temanku), itu tidak penting untuk dikonsumsi :D.

Lions and lambs
Having trouble choosing this or Any Given Sunday as my all time favorite movie. Postponed watching to avoid Cruise, but I think this is his best yet.
Quote1:
- Rome is burning, son, and the problem is not with the people that started this. They're past irredeemable. The problem's with us - all of us - who do nothing, who just fiddle, who try to manoeuvre around the edges of the flame. And I'll tell you something, there are people out there fighting to make things better. You think it's better to try and fail than fail to try?
- Yeah.
- But what if you end up in the same place?
- At least you did something.
Quote2:
Here's my last bit, so bear with me. The decisions you make now, bud, can't be changed but with years and years of hard work to redo it. And in those years you become something different. Everybody does as time passes. You get married, you get into debt. But you're never gonna be the same person you are right now.
And promise and potential... It's very fickle. And itjust might not be there any more.
- Are you assuming I already made a decision?
- And also that I'll live to regret it?
- All I'm saying is that you're an adult now. And the tough thing about adulthood is that it... it starts before you even know it starts, when you're already a dozen decisions into it.
But what you need to know, Todd, no lifeguard's watching any more.
You're on your own. You're your own man, and the decisions you make now are yours and yours alone from here until the end.
