Nyalon

Nyalon bisa berarti pergi ke salon untuk perawatan rambut atau wajah maupun badan. Ini adalah hal yang sudah umum dan lumrah bukan saja untuk kaum wanita, tapi juga untuk kaum lelaki.

Tapi nyalon juga bisa berarti mencalonkan diri untuk suatu jabatan, kalau di Indonesia terutama untuk jabatan-jabatan pemerintahan. Yang lagi ngetrend adalah artist yang nyalon jadi kepala pemerintahan atau caleg.  Dan terakhir yang paling sensasional adalah seorang raja yang nyalon jadi presiden.

Raja mau nyalon jadi presiden ? Apa tidak terlalu sulit itu ? Bukankah bentuk suatu negara kalau bukan kerajaan ya berarti republik ? Jadi tidak mungkin suatu negara mempunyai bentuk republik tapi sekaligus juga kerajaan atau kerajaan tapi sekaligus juga republik. Bagaimana bisa seorang raja yang kepala negara kerajaan nyalon jadi presiden yang kepala negara republik ? Bukankah dengan demikian ia harus berganti kewarganegaraan atau beremigrasi dari suatu negara kerajaan ke suatu negara lain yang berbentuk republik. Apakah ini tidak memerlukan waktu yang relatif lama untuk mendapatkan kewarganegaraan baru.

Tapi di Indonesia hal ini bisa terjadi. Karena di negara ini paling tidak ada  2 kerajaan didalam negara Indonesia sendiri. Keraton Solo dan Yogyakarta. Cuma dalam hal ini bukan itu yang terjadi. Bukan raja dari keraton Solo atau Yogya yang nyalon jadi presiden, tapi seorang “raja dangdut” yang namanya sudah terkenal sejak  beberapa dekade lalu. Dia adalah Rhoma Irama.

Diwawancarai di acara “Hitam putih” Trans7 kemarin hari Jumat tanggal 15 Februari tahun 2013. Ia menjawab bahwa ia mencalonkan diri jadi presiden, karena ada suatu desakan dan ia dalam posisi dimana ia tidak bisa mengelak lagi. Tapi ketika diwawancarai pada segmen “question of life”,  akhirnya ketahuan juga kalau  ia masih lebih  berat dan lebih memilih jadi seniman daripada jadi presiden  waktu ditanya mau jadi presiden atau penyanyi.

Acara “Hitam putih” pun jadi agak serius. Si host “Hitam putih” kelihatan tidak berani mencandai capres kita. Kalah tua, kalah abu atau takut kalau kualat. Bahkan walaupun sudah ada bintang tamu kedua, serorang artis yang juga komedian Dicky Chandra.  Baru  ketika  bintang tamu ketiga dan terakhir, seorang komedian Jarwo Kwat muncul, acara ini jadi lumer. Penuh banyolan dari Jarwo Kwat.

Bisa-bisanya ia, Jarwo Kwat  membanyol kalau ternyata yang menyelamatkan bangsa  Indonesia dari kehancuran  bukannya seorang satria piningit seperti yang diramalkan, melainkan seorang “satria bergitar”. ( “Satria bergitar” adalah judul film yang dibintangi oleh sang capres ). Jarwo  masih melanjutkan lagi dengan berkata kalau capres kita ini adalah satu-satunya capres yang telah berhasil menahan laju pertumbuhan penduduk di Indonesia sehingga dari dulu cuma “135 juta”. ( “135 juta” adalah judul lagu hits dari sang capres ). Jarwo malah juga memberi masukan motto pada sang capres, mottonya “pilih aku kalau mau maju, kalau tidak pilih aku sungguh terlalu”. ( “terlalu” adalah ucapan khas dari sang capres yang banyak ditiru oleh para pelawak ).

Memang sungguh terlalu komedian yang satu ini, masak capres yang serius gitu masih dibanyoli juga. :)

The love of a woman

English

Sorry if I am late to say “Happy women’s day” to all of you women.

I like to tell you about a sermon that I’ve already heard it twice about the love of a woman.

Once upon a time, a mother told her girl to clean up the floor. But the child was relaxed lounging, so she didn’t  want to do it. And she wrote  a list of jobs  with its prices. Clean the floor ….  999999. Dishes washing ….. 888888. Ironing …….777777 and so on. After she finished writing, she gave it to her mother.

Her mother read it, then she wrote a list of jobs  with its prices as well. Pregnant for 9 months … 999999. Breastfeeding ….. 888888. Changing your diaper …….. 77777. Feeding ……. 66666.

I think I don’t have to tell you the rest of the story. I think you already know, right ? Maybe it’s even too stereotype. But from that story, we can know how deep is the love of a woman. In this case, the love of a mother to her child.

Bahasa Indonesia

Maaf jika saya terlambat untuk mengucapkan “Selamat hari perempuan” kepada anda semua yang wanita.

Saya ingin bercerita tentang kotbah yang sudah pernah saya dengar dua kali tentang cinta seorang wanita.

Suatu ketika, seorang ibu menyuruh anak gadisnya untuk membersihkan lantai. Tapi karena anak itu sedang duduk-duduk santai,  maka dia tidak mau melakukannya. Dan dia menulis daftar pekerjaan dengan tarifnya.  Bersihkan lantai …. 999999.  Mencuci piring …..888888. Menyetrika ……. 777777 dan sebagainya.  Setelah ia selesai menulis,  dia memberikannya kepada ibunya.
Ibunya membacanya, kemudian dia menulis daftar pekerjaan dengan tarifnya juga. Hamil selama 9 bulan … 999999. Menyusui ….. 888888. Mengganti popok  ……..77777. Memberi makan ……. 66666.

Saya rasa saya tidak perlu memberitahu anda kelanjutan ceritanya. Saya pikir Anda sudah tahu, betul ?  Mungkin bahkan terlalu stereotip. Tapi dari cerita itu, kita dapat mengetahui seberapa dalam  cinta seorang wanita. Dalam hal ini, cinta seorang ibu kepada anaknya.

SPAM who make us safe

What I mean by SPAM is an abbreviation of SATPAM, SATuan PengAManan or Security. In my country, they were hired to make us safe. In contrary with spam in cyberspace.

SPAM in cyberspace usually make us busy for nothing or without purpose. Send many comments in our blog with stereotype sentences.  Or send messages to our email with stereotype fake purpose to send us money in a great sum.

Who Are You ?

For you know, before you’re proceeding to read this posting. I dedicate this posting especially for spammers, but anyone may read this posting.

In cyberspace we know what that called as spam. According to Wikipedia, Spam is the use of electronic messaging systems (including most broadcast media, digital delivery systems) to send unsolicited bulk messages indiscriminately.

And it happens to my blog too. In several months ago my blog was flooded with so many spam comments and after I read them I approved them. But after I’m thinking that the comments contain almost similar sentences and also stereotype, then finally I deleted them.

Maybe you who are still reading this posting is a spammer as well. In my opinion I don’t mind if the comments that you leave has something to do  with the posting where you leave that comment. Not a stereotype comment. And if possible to you spammer or someone who is just trying to advertise something, please find a posting where just has  only a few comment or even no comments. Make your comment so interesting as possible. Maybe by that way, your comment will be unspammed by me.

My priority first is to the commentators who have openID, for them I usually approve their comments. They who have openID rarely or never considered as spammers by the Akismet comment spam filter from WordPress when they leave comments.

For those whose their comments are in above, if you are serious, you know where to email me. Don’t you ? It was written in my blog.

For all of you spammers whose your comments considered as spam by WordPress and not appeared on my blog , don’t worry. I still read them anyway, although I didn’t approve them.  Sorry ! What must I say to you ? Never give up, keep leaving me comments ? Make better comments ? I don’t know. Rather than confused, better enjoy this song. Maybe this song can bring some inspirations to us. At least the energy of this energetic rock song can bring excitement and spirit to us.

As a closing, do I have to say thank you ? Oh in my opinion I better say thank you to you at least as a good manner, as a courtesy. Good luck !

Shopping

It can not be denied. We like it or not. As long as we still live in this mortal world. We have to go shopping to fulfil what we need, especially material things. On the contrary we also need money to meet our daily needs. So, here I am trying to open and run my own  online shop in collaboration with Amazon. So maybe we can establish a mutual relationship. You, my dear blog visitors as my consumers and buyers. Me as the seller and your supplier.

Here is the link : http://astore.amazon.com/priajelitawor-20

So let me say once again. Happy shopping. Hopefuly you get what you are looking for. Shopping wisely. Buy only what you really need, except you have a lot of money until excessive.

Talk about the singers or groups who sing the songs, Blondie and The Rolling Stones seem to be appear more frequently  than the other groups or singers. Yes of course, they are my favourites among my other favourites. Blondie with their sexy and blonde vocalist Deborah Harry. The Rolling Stones as one of the rock pioneer supergroup beside Led Zeppelin,  Deep Purple and Grand Funk.

Classic and Blues are not exist yet in my blog. Maybe next time I can use it.  Without music, I can imagine that my postings  may be boring and become not interesting. Maybe you have an idea or want some requests about any certain songs that you want me to make it as a posting ?

In fact, I have a plan to expand my blog with adding menu that contains music. With music as it’s nucleus. Apart from the issue of crossdressing and belief.  So if I have some articles that relates to  music, but it doesn’t relate to any other categories, I can put it into musical categories. What do you think and your suggestions ?

I wanna quote some parts of lyrics of that song above “Thank you for the music”. Because I like that parts.

I’m nothing special, in fact I’m a bit of a bore
When I tell a joke, you’ve probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
cause everyone listens when I start to sing
I’m so grateful and proud
All I want is to sing it out loud

So I say
Thank you for the music, the songs I’m singing
Thanks for all the joy they’re bringing
Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty
What would life be?
Without a song or a dance what are we?
So I say thank you for the music
For giving it to me
