Hai! Boleh minta rekomendasi buku (novel) yang bagus dan berbahasa indonesia? Terimakasih :)
Untuk buku berbahasa Indonesia, saya suka karya-karya Eka Kurniawan seperti "Cantik Itu Luka", "Lelaki Harimau", dan "Seperti Dendam, Rindu Harus Dibayar Tuntas". Tapi kalau ditanya novel Indonesia favorit saya, saya akan memilih serial Supernova karya Dewi Lestari. Sekalipun banyak yang bilang serial ini overrated dan pretensius, serial ini memiliki tempat khusus di hati saya. Sambil menunggu kepingan terakhir, "Intelegensi Embun Pagi", saya iseng baca tulisan saya ketika Gelombang terbit dua tahun silam tentang alasan saya menyukai Supernova:Awal perkenalan saya dengan Supernova dimulai dari buku pertama, Supernova: Ksatria, Puteri, Bintang Jatuh (KPBJ) yang dirilis tahun 2001 ketika saya masih duduk di bangku SMP. Teman sekelas saya membawanya ke sekolah lalu saya iseng meminjamnya dan baru mengetahui jika Dee sang penulis ternyata Dewi Lestari dari trio pop Rida Sita Dewi yang terkenal di medio 90-an. Sampulnya sekilas mengingatkan saya pada buku pelajaran fisika dan melihat isinya saya tercengang dengan banyaknya footnotes berisi istilah-istilah ilmiah dan teori antah berantah yang belum pernah saya baca sebelumnya. Its a little bit off-putting awalnya karena saya lumayan alergi pada pelajaran IPA tapi toh saya bosan di kelas dan mulai membacanya. Di rumah, saya menuntaskan buku pinjaman itu. Jujur, saat itu saya beberapa kali saya melewatkan bagian perdebatan intelektual Dimas-Reuben dan lebih fokus pada cerita Diva-Ferre-Rana. KPBJ keluar di tengah berkembangnya computer culture di Indonesia, ketika internet sudah semakin umum, termasuk hal-hal seperti bulletin board, hacker, The Matrix, chat room dan sebagainya yang menjadi obsesi baru remaja Indonesia, termasuk saya. Satu hal lagi yang membuat novel ini berkesan adalah penggambaran same-sex relationship di antara Reuben-Dimas yang tidak terjebak pada dinamika cliche dan stereotyping. Satu hal yang cukup personal bagi saya saat itu.Selengkapnya di: https://alkupra.wordpress.com/2014/10/23/book-club-gelombang-kepingan-terbaru-saga-supernova/
punya game fighting favorit nggak? kalo punya, siapa karakter favorit dari game fighting kegemaran lo?
Sop, gue suka banget game fighting, paling suka game fighting dibanding genre apapun! Lo sebutin semua judul game fighting dari console apa aja, gue pasti punya karakter favorit.Gue main game fighting apa aja sih dari Mortal Kombat, Smackdown, King of Fighters (dan semua game SnK), Street Fighter (dan semua Capcom), Darkstalkers, Bloody Roar, Virtua Fighter, Tekken, Battle Arena Toshinden, Tobal, Soul Edge/Calibur, Dead or Alive, Fighter Megamix... apa aja deh.Gue paling suka game fighting yang 2D dan efeknya lebay sebetulnya dibanding game fighting yang realistis. Favorit gue Guilty Gears karena desain character yang super keren. Basically gue suka hampir semua karakter Guilty Gears, tapi yang paling ikonik menurut gue adalah I-No, si penyihir bergitar.Other than that, game fighting yang paling berkesan buat hidup gue karena nilai sentimentil:- Street Fighter II di dingdong - Virtua Fighter di arcade (SS Mega Dunia) - Mortal Kombat 3 di Sega Genesis - Tekken 2 di PSX
Dear lady and sir, feel free to use this question to share something interesting about yourself or any random or cute things that you think people might find it interesting. Thank you.
People are stupid and cunning, the first time you put your trust on them, they will break it into pieces. Is it me or society that become a constant disappointment?
Hello, Kak Alex!
Would you like to share with us here about that one song which its tune or lyrics interpretation got your mind blown; be it the raw meaning, story/facts behind the song, or the allegory its lyricist use to narrate their purpose?
Have a good evening!
Hi Angga.Dory Previn - Beware of Young Girls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmi7eeCNVvoLiriknya berdasarkan kehidupan personal Dory Previn yang suaminya, Andre Previn (movie composer/conductor), menjalin affair dengan aktris Mia Farrow yang waktu itu masih berumur 23 tahun sampai akhirnya hamil. Dory menuntut cerai, Andre menikahi Mia, dan Dory sempat menjalani terapi kejiwaan karena affair itu. Setelah itu, lirik-lirik lagu buatanya malah semakin bagus dan introspektif, sampai akhirnya dia menulis lagu ini untuk Mia. Lucunya, there's real karma out there. Setelah cerai dari Andre, Mia menjalin hubungan dengan sutradara Woody Allen dan akhirnya berakhir karena Woody ketauan menjalin hubungan dengan anak angkat Mia bernama Soon-Yi yang waktu itu sudah berumur 21 tahun.Ironic isn't?Lirik lagunya sendiri:Beware of young girls Who come to the door Wistful and pale of twenty and four Delivering daisies with delicate handsBeware of young girls Too often they crave to cry At a wedding and dance on a graveShe was my friend, my friend My friend, she was invited to my house Oh yes, she was and though she knewMy love was true and no ordinary thing She admired my wedding ring She admired my wedding ringShe was my friend, my friend My friend, she sent us little silver gifts Oh yes, she did, oh, what a rare And happy pairShe inevitably said as she glanced At my unmade bed She admired my unmade bed, my bedBeware of young girls Who come to the door Wistful and pale of twenty and four Delivering daisies with delicate handsBeware of young girls Too often they crave to cry At a wedding and dance on a graveShe was my friend, my friend My friend, I thought her motives were sincere Oh yes, I did, ah, but this lass It came to passHad a dark and different plan She admired my own sweet man She admired my own sweet manWe were friends, oh yes, we were And she just took him from my life Oh yes, she did, so young and vain She brought me painBut I'm wise enough to say She will leave him, one thoughtless day She'll just leave him and go away, oh yesBeware of young girls Who come to the door Wistful and pale of twenty and four Delivering daisies with delicate handsBeware of young girls Too often they crave to cry At a wedding and dance on a graveBeware of young girls Beware of young girls, beware

Hello, peeps. Inspired by Shane Koyczan's poem -- Heaven, or Whatever; if heaven were real and were specific to each person so that each person would have their own version of it. What would your version be like? Have a good evening!
My idea of heaven is not eternal indulgence of endless harvest, rivers of milk and honey, a palace with 72 virgin angels for my concubines. My idea of heaven is to be freed from the physical and psychic despairs, to be in zen as pure form of energy. No lust, anger, or any emotional burden. I wanna sleep eternally as God's particle.
