the Story of the Mother Cat

It's been awhile since the last time I write. These past days went crazy. I had final exam, I had lots of work, and at the end.... I'm exhausted. But not in the negative way because I'm feeling blessed for everything that I accomplished.

And today I'd like to write about a bond between a mother and a child.

A few days ago, I went ngebakso with my Momma. Yes, ngebakso gerobakan. And we were surrounded by wild cats consist of a mother cat with its 2 kittens (Cute overloads!). And as we knew, cats love to asked for foods, there weren't any different from these cats.

The mother cat jumped to the empty chair right next to me, poked me with its paw, and meow-ing me with its big eyes, coding that she wanted me to share my food with her. Have you ever watch Puss in Boots in Shrek when he had his cute face mode on? The mother cat DID that to me. Gosh, How can't I resist?!

I cut my meatballs and dropped it to the floor, the mother cat saw me then she jumped to the floor, sniffed the meatballs, and just then before she started to eat, her 2 kittens approached to her. She didn't do anything but she pushed the meatballs to get closer with her children. The 2 kittens sniffed the meatballs too, and the mother cat sat there peacefully while her children ate the meatballs.

I was touched.

The mother cat looked starving but she gave her meatballs to her children, like duh, even animals have feeling! Even the wild cat has that!

I told my Momma what just I saw before, and she laughed. "That's a mother, honey," she said calmly.

But I felt sorry for the mother cat because she didn't eat...

Then, as if she knew what I thought, my Momma dropped her meatballs to the mother cat. The cat looked at my Momma, but she doubtly sat there. As if she didn't know whether she was going to eat it or give it to her children.

"Eat. You're hungry, aren't you?" Said my Momma to her. "I'm giving you this, don't waste it."

The mother cat meow-ing my Momma as if she said, "Thank you", right before she started to eat the meatballs.

That day, a simple lesson of life came out from the animal. Us, as human, should be ashamed.

Pancasila, Nasionalisme, dan Eyangkung

Mungkin Eyangkung (Eyang Kakung, Kakek dalam bahasa Jawa) benci disebut-sebut sebagai pahlawan. Tapi, memang kenyataannya begitu. Tidak akan ada Indonesia tanpa Eyangkung dan para pahlawan yang lain. Eyangkung saya bernama Eyang TK, beliau lahir di Solo pada 17 Agustus 1919. Eyangkung bersekolah di Neutrale H. I. S Solo dan beliau berprestasi di sekolahnya. Karena prestasi itulah beliau dibebaskan dari les persiapab masuk M. U. L. O. dan pada akhirnya beliau berhasil masuk tanpa melalui tes ujian masuk. Sebagai cucu kesekian, saya sangat bangga mempunyai sosok Eyangkung. Karena beliau, saya selalu bersumpah akan membawa nama baik keluarga. Saya nggak mau menjelekkan nama baik keluarga besar, saya nggak mau dibilang, "cucu pahlawan kok seperti itu?" (Walaupun saya ini memang tergolong bandel sih, cuma bandelnya masih sebatas wajar). Walaupun beliau wafat setahun sebelum saya lahir, banyak cerita yang sudah saya dengar maupun foto-foto beliau yang saya lihat. Dari yan...

What I Like

Di suatu malam minggu yang membosankan, gue galau karena hujan yang turun dengan perasaan php yang membabi buana. Hujan turun, berenti, turun, berenti. Ngga jelas maunya apa. Malam itu gue pun dengan isengnya membuka Youtube dan menonton Malam Minggu Miko buatan Raditya Dika. Gue pun ngakak sendirian nontonnya. Ehh, selesai nonton kedua episode, gue iseng juga nonton video Raditya Dika lagi Guitar Drifting. Anjaaaay, itu keren bangeeetttt !!! Persis kaya di August Rush, bedanya Freddie Highmore lebih ganteng tentunya. Tapiii, itu gue baru tau kalo itu namanya Guitar Drifting!! :O Gue pun browsing tentang guitar drfiting. Dan gue tertarik sama aksinya Andy McKee yang aseli kerennya kebangetan. Ohhh, gue aja main gitar masih belepotan. Gimana mau nyoba guitar drifting coba.... Check these video and you'll be amazed... Art of Motion - Andy McKee Rylnn - Andy McKee Selain Andy McKee, ada Depapepe, duo Jepang yang OHMIGOT. Mainnya keren banget. Gue ngga tau mer...

A Woman Called Nadia

Andaikan Nadia adalah seorang pria, aku sepertinya akan memilih untuk menikah dengannya. Sayangnya, Nadia adalah seorang wanita, sahabatku sejak masa kuliah. Aku pernah beberapa kali menulis tentang dia dan sahabat-sahabatku yang lainnya, namun, seiring bertumbuh dewasa aku, hanya Nadia yang lebih konsisten hadir di hidupku dalam berbagai fase. Aku nggak pernah menyangka, aku bisa terus bersahabat dengan Nadia hingga selama ini, bahkan sampai pergi berlibur bersama dan menginap. Nadia adalah sahabatku, malah mungkin sudah seperti saudaraku sendiri. Senang. Sedih. Marah. Bingung. Kecewa. Takut. Khawatir. Semangat. Tertarik. Kami sama-sama selalu hadir dengan berbagai perasaan yang ada di diri kami, dengan itu kami tumbuh dan berkembang bersama. Mulai dari suka dan duka, kami terus saling mendampingi satu sama lain. Nadia tau seluruh ceritaku dan perilakuku, dan begitupun sebaliknya. Kami adalah yin-yang, jungkat-jungkit, ontang-anting yang selalu melengkapi satu sama lain. Aku nggak per...

Bookaholic

My name is Nita. I'm a bookaholic. I can read thousands of books in a day. My eyes would be so green if I see lots of books. My imagination is in high level. And I live with an optimistic because I hope... I'll find my Happy Ending one day. I love reading novels. Horror, Sleuth-ish, Romantic, everything as long as the book is good. Beside that, I wanna be a writer. A bright future novelist. A famous author. Suatu hari di Gramedia Grand Indonesia, dengan berbagai macam buku yang pengen dibeli... Tapi cuma dibolehin ambil 2 sama Mama. T-T Dari sekian banyak novel yang dibaca, gue itu suka dengan karya-karyanya Trenton Lee Stewart di seri Mr. Benedict Society yang tebal bukunya bisa 500-an. Ceritanya TOP banget, seru, buat gregetan, dan sktech nya juga bagus..... -_- Terus ada juga Meg Cabot, an author who made Princess Diaries. Cerita buatan beliau memang 'terlalu' Barat, tapi karyanya tetap jadi andalan untuk gue. Sedangkan dari negara kita sendiri juga ada ...

Worthy Soul

I like deep hugs. I like holding hands. I like unexpected kisses. I like to be clingy. I want it everyday. I want to be loved, seen, heard, wanted, and needed. I want intimacy, connection, feeling warm and safe. I want a bond, soul to soul. A real love. Not a lust. I was kissed and hugged by love, several times, years ago in juvenile times. I was kissed and hugged by lust, several times in adult times. They longed for more hugs and kisses, they craved me. Some came from the intimacy and connection built in trust and affection, the rest... came from lust. As a lover woman, I know the difference, I could feel it... and I hate how lust could tainted the intimacy, connection, and the bond of souls. I hate how lust could made it as if an assault where I was only an object, not a subject. I hate how intimacy and connection eventually could became a lust. I miss to feel the sacred of love, where it overflows with intimacy and connection. Where eyes could speak to another eyes, without needing...
