Gw mo nanya, sapa yg sih yg nggak bete kalo pas kita mo nanya serius, tau-tau jawaban yg kita dapet nyenga' banget balesannya. Sumpe mampus pasti kita pengen ngegetok tu orang yg tanpa perikemanusiaan telah memperlakukan kita dengan perikebinatangan (he.. he..)

Gw inget, pernah tuh di playgroup tempat anak gw 'sekolah', ada bokap temen sekelas anak gw yg namanya Haris (disamarkan), sebenernya orangnya baek, tapi ada kejadian waktu anaknya (namanya Yudi, disamarkan karena alasan iseng aja.. lol...)dikasi peran jadi pilot untuk acara operet yang diselenggarakan oleh sekolahnya menjelang tutup taon ajaran baru.

Si anak, Yudi, mungkin saking semangatnya karena kepilih dapet peran jadi pilot dari educator-nya, langsung nyamperin babenya, Haris, buat lebih ngemantepin perannya jadi pilot, dia minta kostum baju penerbang sipil lengkap ama topinya sekalian. Dan babenya spontan langsung ngejawab begini, "Hebat loe Yud, baru dapet peran pura-pura jadi pilot aja udah langsung minta seragamnya.. kenapa nggak sekalian minta pesawatnya yang beneran? ................................

Gw nggak bisa nyalahin si Haris karena ngomong begitu ke anaknya. Buat kita-kita yang punya ortu angkatan baby boomer, pasti kita juga terbiasa dengan komen-komen kaya gini jaman kita kecil dulu. Tapi itu kan dulu.. masa sih kita nggak bisa mikir, kita sih ngomongnya enteng aja, tapi gimana efeknya ke si anak?

Rasanya makin hari makin banyak aja orang yg gampang ngasih komentar sinis. Dan hebatnya lagi.. semakin kenceng sinis dan sarkasmenya, biasanya orang yg ginian nih yg ngerasa dirinya paling te o pe.. Kalo gw mah amit2, walo pun duit lagi cekak tanggung bulan mana anak gw minta macem2 yg bikin pala gw tambah puyeng.. gw usahain pol-polan buat nggak ngomong nyenga' ke anak gw. Udah cukup banyak orang nyebelin yang cuma jago omdo alias omong doang yg bisanya cuman nyeletuk kanan kiri, gw kaga mo nambahain satu lagi di muka bumi ini.

Many people would be raising their eyebrow when they heard names of the badminton clubs in Jogjakarta.
Some of it may be heard unique or may be even ridiculous when it comes to the correlation with badminton activities. Take for instance name like "Ceng Ceng Po", which means "piece of cake" or underestimated. Of course if you want to make a deep thought, sure thing you would be unable to find any relation between those words.
The other name like "Pancing" (Fishing) might be having got nothing to do with all badminton things. Names like this could make a long line list if we like to mention it one by one.
But wait a minute...., even tough they’re sound funny or even ridiculous. The outcome of what they've done eventually is opposite attraction with their names.
The training centre of Ceng Ceng Po which is located in the Maguwoharjo district, used to be claimed by the locals as the "wow" standard gym for exercise. With the two badminton courts and shiny teakwood parquet floor, could make everybody's eager to play in that hall. And not even mention how good they manage and train every player in groups by range of ages.

Pagebluk, meanwhile, this name finally emerged after a long discussion among the club members was unable to pick the proper name. The name itself literally can be mean as a "plague" or "jinx". And club members like it just because how the name it’s sound unique, no matter what could that mean.
After all it’s just the name that we would expect to be a “plague” for every opponent who challenges us in the future. :-)

It’s quite amusing how a man suddenly became a celebrity because of a volcano eruption. It happened a year ago when an old man who lives at valley of Mount Merapi which against his will didn’t want to demobilized from his neighborhood. He assumed that his existence, approximately 4 kilometers from the volcano activities would not affected him and his family. His one that people believe that he is the “master” of Mount Merapi at the Central Java.
His obligation of “guarding” the Mount appeared during reign of Sultan Hamengkubowono IX. That’s why after the decease of the Sultan, he won’t obeyed order from anybody including the government officers, except Hamengkubowono IX himself.

His belief against the government’s order suddenly became a national interest. And television broadcasts started to make a deep coverage about him. The man known as Mbah Maridjan abruptly became a topic attention in every national conversation.

Ironically, the disaster didn’t come from north direction of Yogyakarta city which the mountain lays. In fact, the tragedy appeared from Gunungkidul which part of south region of Yogyakarta province. The impact of 6,2 Richter scale earthquake is an unbelievable mess. It devastated almost hundreds thousands homes in south region of Yogyakarta.

Pagebluk, meanwhile, was directly became a casualty of these disasters. After received order from Office of Volcano Affair, which is the owner where Pagebluk trained twice in a week. We’re appealed not to train in a first place as long as the volcano activities still going on. And then it followed by restriction because of the earthquake not in a long time behind. So, entirely after 5 months later, we were finally permitted to train in the building again. Thanks God!
