Apa Kabar, Bo?

  Apa kabar, Bo? Kemarin saya ke Gramedia. Sanctuary saya pas jaman SD. Dulu waktu Hero Swalayan masih ada di Gatot Subroto. Biasanya saya ke sana setelah ngumpulin duit jajan seminggu dan bisa buat beli komik. Ngga seperti sekarang, dulu banyak komik yang sampul plastiknya terbuka, jadi saya puas-puasin baca sebelum akhirnya beli cuma satu.  Jaman itu majalah Bobo tidak setipis sekarang. Apalagi pas edisi khusus, tebalnya bisa ngalahin kamus. Hahaha, bercanda ya, Bo. Bobo benar-benar teman bermain dan belajar saya, ada beberapa dongeng dunia yang sampai detik ini saya masih ingat. Ada juga dongeng lokal yang jadi favorit saya. Mungkin penulis Bobo sudah lupa, ada sebuah cerpen, yang memuat cerita ibu petani yang asik bekerja hingga anaknya kelaparan. Saya ingat ada syairnya: tingting gelinting, perutku sudah genting, kelaparan mau makan. Saya kemudian meniru syair tersebut dan dimarahin Mama. Beliau bilang, ngga pantas didenger orang. Oh ya, Bo. Mama adalah orang yang berjasa...

Child of The 90s Life

I was born in the end of 80s.
Now I feel blessed that I grow in 90s era.
Back then, cartoon re worth watching.
Children re playing outside.
And music, ah, may I tell u 90s music is the best music. Everyone still have one or two of them in their playlist. I have like a dozens.

Day were longer than now. I could be bored at school waiting for break time. People didn't stick like a glue to their smartphone. People did hang out without take some pic and post it on social media.
And when I fight, I was fight like a boy. With my fist.

Sun, wind, and my bike. Oh, and short. As short as my hair cut. There was a time people recognize me as a boy. Pretty boy, they said.
My books; Lima Sekawan, Trio Detektif, Chronicles of Narnia, the Grimm Brother Late Night Stories, Dragonball comics; thrill my sense to had little adventure. With my 3 cousins, we used to biking alley to alley to find another shortcut.

Trees, afternoon sky, and nap time. Dragonfly, firefly, and dandelion. Pastel tone, rainbow, and barefoot. Where re those good stuff gone?

My simply little life. But, 90s has a dark side too. War, genocide, cloning, cell phone, and otonomi daerah. Something bigger has start to grow. And I can see that war between human and hi-tech creature just begun.
