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...

So Today

Because of my work, I went to some curated market. Seriusan, kalo kagak karena urusan kerja, kagak ada dah gue dateng ke acara-acara beginian. Simply because I'm practical person. I buy something, clothes more likely, not because it's cute, but because I need it.

I'm so practical. Saking praktisnya, gue suka nggak ngerti, ini baju buat dinas atau buat main? Karena, macam Bobo yang bermain sambil belajar, gue menemukan kesenangan dalam pekerjaan gue. Dan tetap nggak ada yang bisa memisahkan gue dari jeans, long-sleeve shirt and sneakers.

Lalu pergilah gue ke beragam curated market itu. I knew people might dress up. I knew there's a lot of high fashion people. But who care? Gue ke sini sekedar mencari info untuk bahan tulisan. Not to see and to be seen. It's me, with my practical fashion sense and no make up face. I really didn't put any make up.

It's really crowed. And dusty. And full of teenager 'cipika-cipiki' with their friend, passing some new gossip. Lots and lots young couple with super stylish outfit. Credit card, debit card, flash and cash are going back-foward. Oh, I'm sorry, I need to think deeply before buy some cloth, or it'll end up in the bottom line of my storage.

Well, I can't judge, but I think, those younger re so today child. Look at them, they re so similar. And check their 4sq or Twitter. It's a must to update current story, about where are u now, with who, doing what. They re craving for existences. World give them the easiest way: social media. But, u have to be in the spot, or, a bunch of kepo people will find out that ur stats re fake and laugh at u.

Here it's, high fashion kids with ultra-sophisticated gadget in 'to see and to be seen' events. Check ur social media to find out are u one of them? :)

Goodnight, goodnight. Buruh kelas 3 akan segera sampai rumah setelah turun dari metromini. Enjoy ur life, since this is all u have.
