Blog EntryYAYA BAGI-BAGI BUKU GRATISAug 21, '08 7:07 AM
for everyone

Halooo...
Yaya mau bagi-bagi buku-buku Indonesianya Yaya niih..GRATIS

Kenapa?

gak ada alasan khusus koook, kan daripada numpuk berdebu mending dibagiin ke yang mau baca. Bener gaaak??

Caranya gimana?

Gampang banget, tinggal kasih komen di bawah ini dengan menyebutkan nama dan  judul-judul buku yang dipilih.

Boleh milih berapa buku?

1 orang bisa milih 4 buku.

Judul-judul bukunya apa aja?

bisa dilihat di http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/635025?shelf=indonesian-books

Bener niih, boleh milih buku Indonesia yang mana aja?

Beneeerr, asal yang statusnya: hanya my book dan Indonesian book saja ya ya. Boleh juga milih yang berstatus ada tandatangan penulisnya

Siapa dapat buku apa dooonk, kan banyak yang milih buku yang sama?

Oke jadi gini, kan Yaya bakal 5 orang..
jadi nama yang pertama kali ditarik dia berhak dapat buku yang dia pilih.

Begitu juga dengan nama yang kedua sampai kelima.

Jadiii, tentu saja buku yang sudah terpilih oleh orang pertama gak bisa dipilih lagi orang kedua ya. Begitu juga seterusnya, buku-buku yang sudah dipilih orang kedua otomatis gak gak available lagi untuk orang ketiga.

 

Truuuss, sampe kapan niih ngadain bagi-bagi buku gratisnya?

Blog EntryMissing momAug 12, '08 9:46 AM
for everyone

Call me selfish..ignorant..mommy's child..whatever, but I just miss my mom.

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way.”

I promise myself, no more tears. But last night when discussing food, I asked my oldest sister: "do you know how to make mangoe chilli like mom makes."

A moment after saying that, I felt like I wanna burst into tears.

I kept picturing her walking healthily, cooking, waking up every night to pray..

do you know that if you keep on picturing something/someone..if you picture them hard enough..it might have come true?


Blog EntryJo March and MeAug 10, '08 12:48 AM
for everyone

One of the reasons I love watching Little Women is because I feel so much connection with Jo Marc (Winona Ryder), specially in the part when she embraced her little sister saying: "don't go too far away, I can't bear losing another sister."

As me and my family under went tough situation involving our mom recently..I feel the same way. Little Women taugh me a lot about how a family is the one you can always count on no matter how you resent your sister/brother sometime.

Like Jo, just looking at my sisters/brother..I know, insyaAllah like Jo March, we can get through this sadness.(Amiiin)


Blog EntryThe last timeAug 10, '08 12:11 AM
for everyone

I keep thinking about the last time

The last time I saw her talking animatedly with me..

The last time  I hear her laughter..

The last time I saw her eating together with us in the table..

The last time we went out..

The last time she looked at me, conciously..

The last time we slept side by side..

The last time I ate her cookings..

I keep thinking about the last time, and knowing deep down inside I still am wishing there will be next time (InsyaAllah Amiiin).

Blog EntryPelecehan terhadap NewbieJul 22, '08 3:40 AM
for everyone

Yaya baru di Bookcrossing, tapi cukup tau kalo di situ sistemnya pay it forward..diteruskan bukunya. Begitu juga dengan Book Ray, Yaya tau itu baca buku dengan sistem meneruskan ke orang yang berikutnya dan yang terakhir megang buku itu harus mengembalikan ke yang punya buku itu.

Sooooo..Imagine my surprised waktu ada yang ngereject Yaya ikutan di Book Raynya dia. Oke gak masalahlaah dia nolak, tapi alasannya itu lhooo. Menurutku pelecehan terhadap newbie aja gitu.

Dia nulis gini (di forum pula, she didn't even bother to sent me PM):

sorry yaya,
maybe another time in the future
I hate to be blunt,
but from what I can see from your history thus far, you have entered plenty of Book Ray
and have asked to be the last person on several bookrays, (which sadly,
indicates to me you want to keep the book rather than pass it on to others).

---------------------------------
which sadly,
indicates to me you want to keep the book rather than pass it on to others
--> nuduh banget itu ya mbak.


Duh maaf niih, kok serasa kepedean gitu yaa dia?

Tapi dah Yaya balas sih:


I am surprised that you have judged me far too soon. The fact I want to be
the last person in the rays that I've requested so far doesn't mean I want
to keep the book. Never crossed my mind that kind of thought.
I am very disappointed, not because you rejected me joining the Ray but the fact that you have accused me of wanting to keep the book for myself.

I know how BC works..I know how Book Rays works. Being the last one in the
Rays means I have to/must return the book to the real owner.

Thank you for being blunt. But sorry I don't like to keep things that I know isn't mine.

Blog EntryRefleksi Senin - Freedom of speech Jul 20, '08 11:13 PM
for everyone

Suka merhatiin gaaak:


orang kalo diajak berbuat kebaikan kayaknya susaaah banget.


Contoh 1:


"Jeng, kita mau ngadain baksos ke panti jompo. Kalau mau ikutan nyumbang boleh lhoo."


(ini tulus ngajakin lho, without pressure). Rata-rata niih pada jawab dengan antusias "Mau..mau...nyumbang kemana? acaranya kapan?"


Guess what...
sampai acara H gak kedengaran kabarnya lagi. Kadaaang bahkan acara udah selesai kapan tau, baru nanya: "Mbak, mau nyumbang acara baksos ke rekening mana yaa?"


Sorry to say:
"Eloe basi banget deeeh!"


Bandingin kalo liat jualan online, wuiiih itu cepet banget ngetekinnya (via pm). Ada yang langsung telpon malah nanya no.rekening penjual.



Contoh 2:


"Sayyy, di rumah mau ada acara pengajian niiih. Ada makan-makannya juga."


(padahal udah disertai dengan embel-embel makan-makan lhoo), tapi survey membuktikan 5 orang dari yang diundang:


1 jawab InsyaAllah..
1 jawab oke (hmmm yang ini maksudnya gak ngerti sebenarnya apa)...


3 orang gak jawab sama sekali, hehe.


Bandingin kalo ngajakin seneng-seneng deh. Cepeeet banget ngiyainnya. Bahkan sampe dicatat di agenda segala lho, sampe nyiapin baju yang mau dipake beberapa hari sebelumnya malah.


Hebat banget yaa ;)


Psst: gak ngerti deh tiap kali ngundang acara pengajian, pasti nanya "dalam rangka apa niiih?"


Emang ngaruh banget yaa kalo dijawab dalam rangka apanya??


*kemaren sampe tergoda mau jawab:


"iya nih pengajian buat siap-siap kalo kalo besoknya gue dipanggil Yang Maha Kuasa, kan gue udah punya bekal."


Kira-kira kalo jawabnya gitu, jadi pada mau datang gak ya?

Psst: Apparently there are people who felt offended with what I wrote..

but don't have enough courage to tell me themselves because "I'm afraid to offend Yaya" excuse. Well never mind, consider them not gallant enough. Hahahahahaha

 

Just wondering:
Freedom of speech apa kabar yaaa???


Blog EntryBookcrossing asyik juga ^__^Jul 19, '08 12:33 AM
for everyone

Yaya merambah ke Bookcrossing niiih. Asyik deeeh. Apalagi pas main-main ke forumnya, ada yang namanya bookray .

 bookray ini cara mainnya: seorang member nawarin bukunya untuk dibaca yang sifatnya minjem tapi berantai nanti kalau orang terakhir yang baca bukunya balikin lagi ke pemilik awal (kalau udah selesai baca bukunya). Yaya baru ikuta satu Book Ray nih.

Kebetulan Yaya pertama daftar. Bukunya baru nyampe niih..

Blog EntryYeah...hidup basi!Jul 4, '08 11:23 PM
for everyone

Ternyataaaaa baru ketahuan akhir-akhir ini bahwa gue bukan termasuk tipe orang yang tidak senang berbasa-basi, hahahahhaa.

Well, basa-basi atas nama kesopanan okelah. Misalnya, basa-basi menjawab pertanyaan saudara yang lebih tua. Yaaa itu mah haruslah yaa. Kalau gak mau dibilang gak sopan. Ini aja gue belajarnya sejak ikutan ngumpul-ngumpul sebulan sekali di rumah sodara. Dari basa-basi hal kecil aja, kayak nanya kesehatan..nanya kabar, bla bla gitu deeh. Kalau mau jujur, gue gak gak inget semua nama sodara sih.

Basa-basi dengan orang/kenalan baru masih wajar. Namanya orang baru kenal kan mau taulah yaa tentang 1 sama lain.

Tapiiiiiiiiiiiiii...
pualing males basa-basi via chatting. Pertanyaan apa kabar, lagi ngapain, kerja dimana...puleeeaseee, itu pertanyaan terbasi yang ada deh. Tau siiih mungkin maksudnya baek, emang mau nanya kabar. Tapi sejak Yaya sendiri suka dicuekin orang karena pertanyaan itu, well..I've learned my lesson. Gak usah nanya-nanya dan kalo ada yang nanya gitu jawabnya singkat padat dan jelas.

Soalnya bete juga kalo pas giliran kita nanya, malah responnya diem aja atau laamaa banget. Sorry niiih, basi banget jawab chatting pake lama. Kecuali kalo dia bilang "sorry ya sambil nyambi kerja."

Yaya lebih menghargai orang yang bilang gitu duluan daripada orang yang ngajak ngechat, trus giliran kita nanya dianya diam dan lama banget baru jawab. Orang kayak gini keliatan banget hanya mau terliat sibuk aja.


Yaya sombong?
gak cuman kalo mau ngobrol ya ngobrol aja, gak perlu pake preambul gitu.


Blog EntryTribute to my Post officeJul 3, '08 11:54 AM
for everyone

Kali ini postingan Yaya bilingual yaa karena mau ngasih liat sama temen-temen BM . Yang tadinya gak pernah menjejakkan kaki di kantor pos, sejak tuker-tukeran buku malah sekarang hampir 2 minggu sekali ke sini.

Kantor pos ini lokasinya di sebelah Bintaro Plaza, seperti yang bisa dilihat di foto kantor posnya ini sederhanaaaa banget cuman 2 orang pekerjanya tapi Alhamdulillaah selalu nyampe kirimanku ke luar negeri

 -------------------

I've never stepped foot at the post office, mind you..I didn't have friends overseas so there were no reasons why I should've gone to the PO.

But since I joined BM, almost once every 2 month I go there. As you can see, my PO is very traditional and vintage (hahaha..) with only 2 men working there. But my packages always arrive at the given addresses correctly.

Blog EntryIt's not just about the booksJun 23, '08 4:41 AM
for everyone
Eight months ago, I bumped into Bookmooch. To be honest, my desire to read had been gone quote a long time when I joined the site. But, I click the join button anyway.

 

After that, I put in my books in the inventory that I thought was enough to mooch a book. At that time, I still didn't feel like to read. Although, I got a little excited when I discovered someone had listed my friend's book. Confession: I had a major crush with the author ,. Then I hit the mooch button for the first time.

 

I didn't know how to send books abroad, I didn't even once stepped foot in the post office..so I put my status only to my country. Out of curiousity, I browsed around until I found a Danielle Steel's book called Mixed Blessings. I changed my status to ask me first. Wouldn't you know it, the book's owner wanted to mooch my thick heavy Harry Potter book. That time, I still didn't know how to send books abroad.

Coincidentally, my friend Ayu from USA was vacationing to Jakarta. SO I decided to ask her to mail the book from from USA. It was done deal, the moocher received the book satisfactorily. It can be said..that was the first time I received my feedback.

At first, it's just about the books. One community consists of people who love reading book. "I'm not that fetish about books," so I thought.

Looking back, gee...I am one of those people. Those people who consider their books are their treasures. Those people who love spending times browsing around for the books they want. Those people who are willing to wait for the books to arrive. Those people who are trying to love our environment by recycling envelopes.

Those people who think it's not just about the books.

Yes, I am also those people who try to offer my empathy along with my books. Those people who try to put their care into the every books they sent out.

 

You see..
it's not just about the books.

Gue mengundurkan diri dari jadi teman loe.

Makasih deeh, buat silent treatmentnya selaman ini. Daripada bikin dosa diem-dieman...Gue mengundurkan diri dari jadi teman loe.
