I’m writing it in Bahasa Indonesia, because it’s purely all for my friends; my real friends and my friends in my Facebook friend-list. So dear readers from other country, sorry for your inconvenience if you need to translate it yourself. Jeez, like I have readers from other country.

OK! Begini teman-teman, sadar atau tidak sadar kita sering melakukan kegiatan ini; kegiatan menyombong tersembunyi. Sombong ini memang secara sengaja diselipkan dengan halus dan tidak seronok dengan harapan sang korban - yakni yang ditujukkan untuk disombongkan - tidak secara langsung menjudge kalau sang pelaku - yakni yang berniat menyombong - adalah orang sombong. Bisa saja sang korban saat itu tidak menyadari kalau sang pelaku saat itu sedang menyombong.

Mari kita lihat dua kasus pertama, yakni dalam hal komunikasi. Alat komunikasi yang digunakan adalah telfon selular.

Kasus Pertama, Momo dan Afi adalah sahabat karib semenjak kuliah. Hari ini adalah tanggal 18 November, yaitu tanggal premiere film Breaking Dawn di Indonesia. Sore hari Afi mengirim SMS kepada Momo, namun baru dibalas sekitar dua jam kemudian.

“Aduh sorry banget Fi SMS lo baru gw bales nih, baru beres nonton premiere Breaking Dawn gitu gw. Sumpah keren banget fi! Si Edward nya keren bangeeeett sumpah! Udah gitu ternyata si Bella nya nggak jadi mati yah! Gw kirain mati. Trus masa si Jacob ternyata imprint sama anaknya Bella gitu. Siapa namanya tuh? Renesmee yah? Uuwh so sweet! Tapi adegan ranjangnya nggak banget deh tuh sumpah! Isshh! Oh iya BTW jawab SMS elo tadi, gw belom ngerjain tugasnya Fi.”

Apa inti dari SMS balasan Momo tersebut? Saya yakin dalam hati kecil yang paling dalam Momo adalah untuk pamer kalau dia sudah nonton Breaking Dawn dan berharap Afi agak sedikit jealous dan membalas “Aah sumpah lo? Pengen bangeeeet nontoon! Tapi belom sempeeeet!!” Memangnya Momo tidak berfikir kalau Afi belum nonton, dia telah menceritakan sebagian besar inti dari film tersebut? Namun apa reaksi Momo apabila Afi membalasnya dengan:

“Oh iya gw juga udah nonton tadi siang-siang di Premiere Plaza Indonesia yang paling pertama. Iyasih lumayan, gak nyimpanglah dari bukunya yang udah gw baca. Oh elo belom ngerjain Mo? Yaudah deh gw liat punya Lia aja. Thanks yah.”

Tanpa sadar kembali pun pasti Momo berfikir “Ih! Sombong banget sih nonton di Premiere PI! Yang paling pertama pula! Please deh!” NAHLOH! Siapa yang bermaksud sombong duluan?

Kasus Kedua, Tika dan Lia adalah teman kantor yang dua-duanya bisa termasuk dalam gila belanja. Minggu-minggu ini sering sekali Late-Night Sale di pusat perbelanjaan Jakarta. Malam ini Tika menelfon Lia, namun tidak diangkat-angkat. Sekitar jam satu malam Lia mengirim SMS kepada Tika.

“Duh Tik! Elo dari tadi nelfonin gw yah? Ampe 5 kali gitu elo nelfon gw. Sorry banget Tik. Gw tadi tuh lagi LateNite an gitu di Centro! Iiihh… Gila! Sampe 70% lumayan buu! Beli apa aja tuh tadi gw?  Baju tiga, tas, sepatu, ya ampuuuun banyak deh! Sayang deh kalo elo gak ikutan! Dua hari lagi kok masih nih. Eh, emangnya elo tadi nelfon mau ngapain Tik?”

Sekali lagi, apa inti dari SMS ini? Meminta maaf kah? Atau pamer ngasih tau barang-barang yang dibeli oleh Lia? Dan apabila ternyata Lia membalasnya dengan:

“Yaah, hari Sabtu Minggu kemaren tuh gw udah keburu ke Singapore belanja banyak banget! Abis deh tuh tabungan gw. Sayang banget Tik.” 

Apa yang terjadi? Jelas, Tika saat itu juga pasti berfikir “Sombong banget sih belanja banyak di Singapore!!”

Itu contoh kecil yang mungkin terjadi. OK, mungkin tidak selebay itu. Tapi coba kamu ingat-ingat lagi dan lihat dalam-dalam. Saat kamu memberi alasan saat telat membalas SMS, tidak mengangkat tefon, dan sebagainya, adakah rasa untuk menyombong dalam hal tersebut? Sometimes we don’t need to know what it is, dude.

Lines when I watched HPDH Part 2 months ago was “Oh GOD! Can’t believe it finally I watch it and it ends!” and it happened again yesterday when I watched Breaking Dawn Part I. It felt like excited because I really anticipated it, mixed with sadness because.. well, it ended, even there’s still another part 2.

I won’t spoil you anything in this Breaking Dawn, but one thing for sure, Edward was so handsome! He is waaay handsome than RobPatt. I never said Edward was handsome before, but in this movie, don’t know why. Maybe his face was paler? LOL. The wedding was the best moment! Indeed, I always love watching wedding. Bella’s dress was stunning. The wedding was even greater because Flightless Bird, American Mouth. Officially, that song is my wedding song! Find me a bride right now!

Thank GOD I didn’t re-read the book before I watched it, so I didn’t remember the details. But overall I think the movie really represents the book.

Unnecessary thing: is it important for a vampire to break things when they’re having woo-ha? And LEAH CLEARWATER IS SUPER HOT!!!

First of all, thank God my FTV Channel been subscribed again, so I can enjoy many runway shows. My favorite segment in FTV of course F Men. In Indonesia the showing time is from 09 to 10 AM. But sadly, it shows some same designers again and again. But I still watch it though, LOL. One of the designers that I always waiting is Frankie Morello for its Spring Summer 2012 Menswear collection. Here are some of the collection.

But I’m here not to talking about Frankie Morello. I’m here because there was a live performance by Le Corps Mince de Françoise (LCMDF) in the runway. LCMDF is the one who makes me always waiting Frankie Morello Spring Summer 2012 show in F Men. Who are they?

The band consists of two siblings, Emma and Mia Kemppainen. They established an electronic pop and hip-hop genre in Helsinki in 2007. LCMDF has been very successful, especially in Britain, France and Germany. According to Maurizio Modica (one of the designers of Frankie Morello) LCMDF is a hot group at the moment, as they’re extremely promising.

I think their songs are ear-cathing! I love it so much. Their newest album is Love & Nature, and my favorite songs are Gandhi, Cool and Bored, and Take Me To the Mountain. Of course I love those songs because those three were played in the show. There’s one song again, Bitch of the Bitches was played in the show, and yeah I love it so much! I’M THEIR NEWEST FAN!!
