Persiapan menuju lebaran







Sekian gambar diatas adalah sebagian potret masyarakat yang mempersiapkan Lebaran dengan berbelanja ke pasar tradisional Pandansari di daerah KebunSayur di Balikpapan. Banyak sekali pengunjung maupun pedagang kagetan di pasar ini di 3 hari menjelang lebaran.

Diatas ada potret anak kecil yang menunggui dagangannya berupa daun sop dan jeruk nipis. Mereka (menurut saya) adalah salah satu dari pedagang kaget yang menggali rezeki dari ramainya pengunjung pasar. Mereka tidak mempunyai los sendiri, oleh karena itu, mereka menaruh dagangannya di tangga di atas bagian daging (ayam, sapi, ikan). Semoga bisa menjadi cerminan agar kita lebih bersyukur.

Dan selain itu, ada yang menarik perhatian saya. Sebuah taksi(sebutan warga balikpapan untuk 'Angkutan Kota') trayek no.5 atau warna kuning dari Toyota Kijang tahun '80an masih dipakai untuk mengangkut ibu2 yang berbelanja. untuk diketahui, mobil tua ini sudah tergusur oleh taksi-taksi lain yang dirakit dari minibus carry, bahkan kijang diesel. Melihat taksi ini, timbul kenangan ketika kecil dulu. Kami dulu biasa naik taksi dari mobil tua ini untuk pulang sekolah. Saat itupun , taksi ini sudah kelihatan tua. Apalagi sekarang.

Bagi yang kangen, silakan dipandang lama-lama..

Taqabalallohu mina wa minkum. Minal aidin wal faidzin. Mohon Maaf Lahir dan Batin.
Semoga RAmadhan ini telah memberikan pelajaran bagi kita dan kita bertemu lagi dengannya tahun depan. Semoga kita bisa menjadi pribadi yang lebih baik tiap bulannya. Amin...

A physical impact for stress.....pregnancy??

Ada cerita menggelikan namun, akan terasa lebih menggelikan jika ditulis dalam bahasa Inggris..

jadi...bersiaplah!


A physical impact for stress.....pregnancy??

It was when I took a english profieciency test, I found one of the question in the reading section to be tickled me. I smile meaningfully reading it..

The question was based on a passage about stress and how to manage it. In the passage, there was a sentence explaining about some physical impact we may suffer if we are stress. The impacts stated were heart attacks, ulcers, and...(what was it??)..cancer..perhaps. he3..

Then, we jumped into the question based on the passage. The question was:
The following is the physical impact of stress, but...
a. ulcers.
b. cancers.
c. heart attacks
d. pregnancy.

Of course, we can easily know that the answer is d.

But, what made me smiling? It was because I imagined if there were someone who answered anything but b. It means that he/she agreed that pregnancy is the physical impact of stress...WOW!

I imagined wildly as my mind went elsewhere thinking about it. I came into a conclusion, That some women can get pregnant if her husband is stressed. Why? because some men would go to his wife to get calm, both mentally and physically. By doing so, sooner or later, his wife would then get pregnant. hohoho..That example may justify my conclusion right?

Note:
this may be insane for some. Dont find it offensive, though. So, dont read it over to know what happened, because it will bore you down.
I just want to show that what an imagination can do from a single idea into multiple ideas. Connecting a cause to another cause, drawing conclusion either from truth of weird ides. So, never supress your imagination! Since it can, at least, make you smile and laugh at yourself. (It implies, you wont get stressed, therefore, you wont get pregnant!Ha3x)
