DREAM SHOES

" Anata wa nanida ? " - What are you doing?
I was often asked this question. So I ga surprised when Aya asked the same thing . He's not the first person who asked me to like it .

Photograph a dream, as I just did. I did it for my dream shoes , Converse All Star purple size 38 USA in one of the display leading fashion store in Shibuya , Tokyo . I like anything that simple , and these shoes really captivate me . The problem is limitied edition shoes . So would not want to , I had to get it . About the price is fantastic , suddenly become simple for me , no way . Finally I took the shoes and hurried toward the cashier , take him home and pay the credit card installments over it . Owe ? No problemo . Rather than regret my life because preceded by another person who took my shoes , I choose owe . Money can be searched , dream about contentment .
Yes , I was a dreamer , but I am not a dreamer eit know. Dreams are my passions . I even share my dreams into two , dreams short and long term . If the dream was short-term , I am quite make the wallpaper on my phone , but if it is a long-term dream , I 'll print it out and place it on the wall of my apartment , for the reminder of course . Understandably people are wrong and forgotten place . " The dream must be visualized , so that he is always seen and remembered . So we are always on the right track of the chase "says Eldo first . And from that moment , I photograph all my dreams , including her .

 To be there , there 's always a long road to be passed .

Not all rich man can have it , Because it's not for sale .

It's called home .

HOME

04:00 Japan Time

Tereret ... Tereret ... Tereret .. The earth is trembled, the furniture in the room was falling, is there any hercules aircraft landing on the roof ..? but, why is the tremble keep happen? It's not a plane , it earthquake! ! !

In a semi-conscious state , I immediately took a quick motion . I grab a jacket , cell phone , wallet and a small backpack contains important documents and then rushed out rushed . I sprinted along the corridor . Wush .. wush .. wush .. then slowed , and finally stopped . How lonely it?

Ouch .. Idiot , I forgot . Pantes alone on a quiet people , this is just a small earthquake for them , and this apartment building , which I occupy has been cast using flexible architectures to withstand earthquakes up to magnitude 6 . If it had passed the 6 magnitude earthquake , the warning alarm will light up , only then people will do what I do , save yourself and pray wholeheartedly . Yep, still there batasnyanya technology . I wrote reflex mah run , when the earthquake conscious . Naturally , given the experience of the earthquake in Yogyakarta used to be so closely in my mind .

Years ago ...

" Sa .. Frisaaa .... " there's a voice i heard faintly in my ears . White , it's all what  see . " Frisaaa .... " as there are clung to my hand . Father ? I saw my father dressed in white , smiling sweetly at me . Her eyes sparkled , but he is increasingly walking away from me . Dad going? , I shouted to my father . But my father just smiled , and waved her hand . " Frisaaa ... you 're awake ? " White fog slowly began to fade , I started to feel my hands completely , my fingers gripped tightly , warm .

I saw the face of Eldo under bright light on it .

" I was where ? "

" At the hospital sa , lo coma two days . "

" My what? "

" I'll explain to you later. Now, you have to eat. I feed you, you are not feeding on the last two days . "

According to the Eldo's explanation , I was unconscious. Just had been evacuated after the rubble for 48 hours . I am lucky to have a mother shielded sturdy table that I brought from home . I hide it under the table , holding a family picture frames .

Earthquake May 27, 2006 , leaving a deep sorrow in my heart . I lost my beloved father . He hit the wall of the kitchen while saving Icha , his little nephew who is still sleeping on cots . Icha and father trapped in the ruins of our two-story house . Two new bodies were found two days after I was evacuated .

I am very upset over the incident . My beloved father . For me he is the best father I have ever known . I know close to him , very close . Father who taught me lessons, I guided four-wheel bike riding , carrying me on his shoulders at a family reunion gathering . After dewasapun , I always say anything about me to my father , from homework , school friends , friends , teachers annoying until about Eldo . I tell all . Dad was my best friend . He can read me like . What - what I felt , without my story , my father had guessed and start a conversation on my problem . I even had time to think , my father is an angel assigned to look after me . Long story short , my father was everything for me . And the Yogyakarta earthquake last years , separated me from my father , my everything .

 " Are you okay? "

Aya was there long before me, watching me daydreaming. I looked at Aya , however, clear grain flowing down my cheeks warm . This always happens whenever I remember my father . I was at the front door of the apartment and without realizing it, I was holding the wallet , look at pictures of my father in my wallet . O God , I did not have long pilgrimage to the tomb of my father , I miss him .

" I wanna go home . "

***

 I feel Him , God saw me from there .

Blue Dusk
Long had I not been home , exactly 2 years. Since I was stationed at the Embassy in Japan , living in an apartment and get married .

Anywayyyy .... I can't thought , I'm married now , being a wife of somebody .

Fikry , my husband is in Jakarta now , he's one of the top entrepreneurs in the country successful , parents Fikry mother is a friend from school . From there we started matchmaking .

" Dear, aunty Mirna and Uncle Iwan came to the house last night . They are asking for you. "

" What do you mean, Mom ? "

" They asked me if Frisa already have a boyfriend or a husband . "

" And then, Mom? "

" Mother tell the truth . "

" Frisa know, they both are best friends mother . Their son , Mother Fikry already considered as his own mother's child . "

" Fikry and parents want to know Frisa closer . "

I did not answer , just listen to what the mother . Vague I know where the conversation the mother . Matchmaking .

I remember Fikry name , but I do not know near the owner 's name , because since high school I lived in Jogja , joined father . Mother in Jakarta . Yes , my parents divorced when I was 16 years old . I do not know exactly why they are both separate , "Later when Frisa adults , Frisa will understand , " said the father first . Mother father NEVER story because their divorce . Said the people , mother 's father sued for divorce because of money and prestige . Mother worked in a bank , over time the mother career skyrocketed , so did the salaries mother . While the father is Lecturer , Lecturer honest . Father income is from salary and some projects take eventual lecturer father , ga course . Ga will be absent father from teaching because the project is actually odd jobs . Work is a mandate , it is always said to my father . I do not know exactly how the story , anyway ga also important for me to know. For me , my father and mother are the best parents I have , whatever people say.

" The wedding ring , Dear . " Because I can not often return to their homeland , and Fikry I only met twice before the day of the wedding . The rest has been prepared by the mother , and the parents Fikry Fikry . And here i'am now , if the mothers meeting , my name is no longer Frisa but Mrs.Fikry . Auch!

For me , marriage is a mosaic of life . It was my understanding that instilled in me . If we see it from close range , it would seem absurd , ga clear pattern. But if we look from the proper distance , then it would be a wonderful series . Perhaps my view of ongoing marriage matchmaking me with Fickry still a close range view , so natural that I still see it as something absurd , aversion , communication is still messed up . Naturally , because we had never known each other before marriage and after marriage , we separated a distance . But I 'm sure , someday will come a time when we will finally get to know and understand each other . Able to see our wedding as beautiful mosaics and eternal life . Later , I 'm sure when it will arrive .

Okey , that was the story of me being a wife . Anyway , talking about his childhood and marriage . As a child I often played the bride - pengantinan , exciting wrote so first . Who's the father , who's a mother and who's the child . Those moments in childhood leaves a great memory , unforgertable absolutely . Until now is still a mystery , that childhood memories are so strong compared to the memories of the present . Lots of detail capable of childhood events that I remember . Together very different now , I am forgetful acute .

My first and my friends often play together , in the backyard . Either play clay , market , betengan , gobak Sodor , ball jacks , and yes it is playing the bride . When bride - pengantinan play , I always paired with Eldo . Yes , Eldo is part of my childhood . Our house besebelahan instead . " Ga bored of what kept small to meet sma ? " Friends often ask about it. Understandably heck , I 've unison Edo of me sitting in kindergarten through grade 3 high school . I'm bored ? I NEVER feel it at Eldo . For me , He 's always fresh . Eldo is a figure that is predictable , from the first .

Never used one when future 5 th grade , he took me to his house . Eldo brings with green color picture book illustrated mickey mouse and a box of colored pencils with him .

" I'm close your eyes yes , Sa " I vividly recall the first small Eldo voice .

" What's wrong ? "

" Just do it, come with me" Little Eldo closed my eyes with his hands . Then accompany me from behind , walking slowly .

Tap ... tap ... tap ... after many steps , we finally stopped .

" It may be opened beluumm " asked me surprised .

" Not yet. Wait a minute again yes , for a moment "

" One .... "

" Two ... "

" Three ! "

Eldo small hand off slowly . I blinked , my blurry vision began to converge .

Blue .

" ...... "

My clothesline is open on the second floor house , gentle breeze caressing my long hair . Sunset . Beautiful. I often come home late from tutoring , I would often see the sunset . But the sunset was different , he was colored orange like usual . He is blue . Sunset in the blue !

It has not been completed .

Eldo then gave me his sketchbook . " Hold it in front of you exactly , " I received with wonder , of course . " Now open the cover . " I went along .

" ..... "

Cash expand my smile . I hold a pencil sketch drawing , and you know what? it is a sketch view of sunset in front of me earlier . Exactly once . In the sky was the same color . Eldo shading the sky with blue color pencil drawing how so . That was so real .

" You like ? "

" Once , love it "

" This picture is for you "

" ...... "

"Yeah , I made this for you ... but I've titled this picture "

" Here, let me do it "

I wana take a blue pencil in his hand , then slowly scraping sketch paper in my hands .

SUNRISE BLUE .

It was a title that I made , a gift for my Eldo . A sketch dusk .

Eldo is a friend , friend , brother for me . While there are other feelings about it , but the destiny God does not allow us to be more than that. Twilight sketch that he gave first , I still keep neat in my scrapbook . I still like to go when I miss home . Yes , Eldo is my second home , especially after my father died. Eldo , bride of my childhood , my second home but not my husband .

  Looking for fun ? it's in the corner , right beside you!

  Sometimes we are just busy looking . Though we should

  already noticed , that we already have ( happiness )

Mate, where have I been?

Do you remember an ad in one of the TV station ? floating market . As an archipelago , natural that we have some floating market , which is famous among other things Muara Kuin Floating Market in Banjarmasin Floating Market and River Lok Baintan in Tabuk , Banjar . They usually use boats ( traditional boat ) or Klotok ( boat motor) as their shanties . In some other countries there is also a floating market is in Vietnam , Cambodia and Thailand . Even in a slick package Thailand market flotation in there through a string of short videos titled Hearing The Sunshine viral promo on youtube as they travel .

Here , Titicaca Lake is located in the border between Peru and Bolivia,there's also a floating one in here. Not the market , but living. Floating village on the Titicaca Lake, the highest lake in the world . They are the Uros tribe . The initial formation of the floating village is the war that never ends . They are driven by the invaders , fled and took refuge into the middle of the lake Titicaca . They make a civilization here . Believe it or not , they live in the reeds . This floating island , made ​​by hand carefully , this floating village composed of layers of thatch grass tortora who put together and tied to a basic structure that can float , like pontoons . The result is like a giant raft boat , and incredibly capable of withstanding heavy loads and large .

The islands are actually quite sophisticated and can sustain very heavy loads , but also must be repaired periodically to maintain its power . Old when the weeds start regardless of its basic structure , new weeds at the surface replace . Grass weeds are taken carefully from the edge of the lake Titicaca . These islands are tethered in place with ropes tied to wooden poles from the bottom of the lake .

" Good Morning guys , today we're going to capture beautiful story in here . Take it to your notes , recorder and camera . The direction as we know is relevant to humanity , just like we've Discussed last night . Any questions ? " Ocha opened the morning briefing .

" Ready ! " Me, army -style stomping .

" Wis ra sah kewuwen, dab ! " Gugun , swap nose with thumb . Rambho style he says .

Ocha smile " Okey . Bring the best you can do , and remember to always include your heart all the thing you do . c'mon move move move ! "

Thus our briefing this morning , which of course is done every morning , to make sure all events on the track and on scheduled . We can not stay long , but had to bring the best results , as well as matchmaking , Auch ! ! Damn , it always brought to my mind any way . Mate.
