Hari ini gue masih jetlag. Baru pulang dari Bali. Males gawe, ah! Sekali-sekali seneng-seneng, males-malesan di hari Senin yang sibuk boleh dunk?

Kurang kerjaan gue browsing kesana kemari, nggak sengaja nyangkut di satu situs yang bahas soal X-Files! *norak kalo elu nggak tau x-files* Nggak tau kenapa, ndelalah gue kepengen punya images kartu FBI (Federal Bureau Investigation). Yaaaah... just for fun aja!

Pengen liat aja bakal lucu-lucuan. Bukan mau bikin Id palsu lo! Gue kebetulan liat iklan di Kompas soal perusahaan yang menjual alat pencetak kartu plastik, printing kaos, gelas, pembuat pin, kancing, dll.

Gue pikir, gue mau beli'in aja bakal bini gue, biar dia bisa iseng-iseng bikin sesuatulah.. Mana tau kalo dia seneng bisa jadi bisnis sampingan kan? 

Beberapa waktu lalu, pekerjaan ngebawa gue ke Bali. Great!! lama banget gue nggak ke Bali! Sejak heboh bom disana, nyaris nggak kepikiran untuk ke Bali kemaren-kemaren. Gue nggak mau mikirlah soal bom blah-blah-blah.. Kumaha engke! Ke Bali, ticket, hotel, makan, semua dibayarin kantor, kurang enak apa? Hihihi..

Senin malem gue berangkat ke Bali. Mendarat disana, semua masih berasa biasa. Yah, as usual, kala menginjakan kaki di airport manapun. Perlakuan keamanan dari aparat, dll. biasa-biasa saja. Sampai di luar, rasanya begitu juga. Kesan pertama, bersih! dan tidak crowded!

Lagi. Indonesia dirudung malang. Kali ini musibah gempa menimpa kawasan Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) Jawa Tengah yang Sabtu (27/05) pagi ini diguncang gempa berkekuatan 5,9 skala richter. Sampai Sabtu malam ini (22:30 WIB) korban tewas tercatat sejumlah 2.998 jiwa, dengan ribuan korban luka-luka, dan kerugian material yang belum bisa dihitung.

Mari sejenak kita memanjatkan do'a untuk saudara-saudara kita yang sedang dirudung musibah ini agar dapat diberi kekuatan untuk menghadapinya.
