Coffee and Contemplation - 1

on
  It was a pleasant evening, and I always order a Japanese iced filter whenever I spend time at this particular slow bar in Jakarta. As I sipped my 50k-something coffee, my mind began to contemplate the passage of time. Ten years ago, I only paid 18k for the same menu item, the same beans. I understand how inflation works, and I know that coffee crops depend heavily on nature to thrive. Yet, as I sat there, I realized how drastically prices have skyrocketed over the last decade—not just for coffee, but for everything. Even though my salary has increased fourfold in that time, I still feel as though my buying power has weakened. It wasn't just the price of the beans that bothered me; it was the realization that the cost of living is quietly eroding everything I’ve worked for. I won't go into the weeds of government mismanagement, but it reminded me of a scene in The Trial of the Chicago 7 , where Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character asks Sacha Baron Cohen’s about his contempt for hi...

Hey Girls!

Gue lagi di toilet dan merasa bosan. Isenglah gue ngirimin pesan ini ke cowok-cowok di phonebook gue:
"kalo lo lagi pdktin cewek, kira kira hal apa yg bikin lo ilfil sama dia?"

Dan inilah jawaban mereka:

"Si cewe blg blom punya cowo, pas udah berasa deket ternyata gwa mergokin dia mata ke mata sm cowony." - arman, secretly kamen rider.
"Klo gw, klo cewenya ternyata 'gampangan'" - yuan, traveler.
"Klo odong2 pas ngomong" - putro, analis tulisan tangan.
"kalau ditolak abis2an dan sedikit dipermalukan" - napi, musafir.
"klemer2 dan tidak pintar" - eki, visioner.
"bau badan, negative. person, control freak" - rohan, penggebuk drum.
"Paling sering yg bikin ilfil kalo trnyata pola pikirnya masi kacrut" - agung, traveler dadakan.
"Pas di ajak jln.. Td nya mau ehh tiba" btl.. Ato di undur.." - dion, auditor.
"Mungkin jutek, judes, not smart enough, ga nyambung ngomongnya" - arif, a husband.
"gw ilfil klo lg pdkt trus dia ngupil d dpn gw" - dimas, mantan freelancer.
"kentut" - akrom, streetballer.

Berhubung baru ganti handheld, belum banyak nomor telepon yang migrasi ke sini. Dan makin malem balesnya makin absurd. Hahaha dasar kromosom xy. Fyi, kalau ada cewek yang bisa ngupil dan kentut depan lo, berarti dia ngerasa nyaman sama lo, bro. Kadang cewek (apa cuma gue aja?) sok bego demi menjaga ego kelelakian kalian. Aslinya, kami tau lebih dulu :p

Ps: kamu yg nomornya ada di phonebook saya tp gak ditanya, alasannya cuma satu: ur words are special for me. Bukan buat konsumsi public xp
