Catatan Kolong: Apalah Arti Sebuah Nama

Ternyata nama begitu besar pengaruhnya terhadap kehidupan kita. Sadar atau tidak. Dan nama adalah doa dan harapan sepertinya memang 100% benar adanya.

Tengok saja:

Munir, is *Muni*, dia itu ditelingaku sepertinya ‘Muni’ dia memang vokalist kan? Cukup berani untuk mengungkap segala ketidakadilan, hingga kematiannya yang misterius dan menjadi kasus yang alot, menjadi hari berkabung sehari setiap tahunnya bagi para pembela keadilan. Dia telah pergi, tapi suaranya terus bergema.

Asmuni, Muni AS... benar kan dia berhasil sebagai ‘kartu AS’ yang bunyi di panggung Srimulat.

Patrialis Akbar,  *pa’Teralis Besar*. Namanya seolah menjadi katalisator gaib bagi gerakannya, hal terpopuler saat menjabat menteri Hukum dan Ham. Bagiku dia seolah Pesohor baru di bidangnya. Sidak penjara. Dari mafia Narkoba dibalik teralis, hingga kamar VIP, sel bervasilitas khusus, kasus penukaran tahanan bertarif. Hal-hal yang menurut kita tak terduga dan mustahil terjadi di balik sel, terungkap di masa jabatannya. Hingga undang-undang  revisi koruptor yang langsung menurunkan popularitasnya.

Kesit Susilowati. Nama yang menurutku hingga kini masih seperti ‘Harapan dan Doa’

Semoga tidak menjdi Keset (malas) So-She- Slow- What... I. Karena jelas bapakku memberi nama ini agar aku menjadi seorang wanita yang gesit, dan  beretika baik. Smoga Almarhum tak pernah kecewa memberi namaku. Amin.

Korean Life Style

Why the Koreans want plastic surgery?
Korean Life Style like the desire to look perfect, it can not be denied is the desire of all people, but probably not "ambitious" Koreans, especially the celebrity Kpop that I often see on the Internet or television.

First, the definition of beauty is a high Korean population. Influenced by Western culture, the definition of perfect beauty or handsome seen from the height of the body slender, sharp nose, white skin and big eyes. Sense of inferiority when socialize make Koreans look for ways and solutions quickly to improve the deficiencies. They believe that first impressions are very important in finding jobs or in attending certain events such as weddings.

In addition, Koreans have a high competitive nature. This can be seen from their education system is full of demands. High competitive nature is what adds to its citizens are willing to do anything to get that perfect beauty or handsome. In fact, to perform extreme procedures. According to the Medscape site, including the ratio of South Korean citizens of the world's most high for the affairs of cosmetic surgery.

Beirut Life Style

The story of life in Beirut as one of the Arabic nation, she tell what the habits of Arabic nation, especially as Arabic woman. This novelist is currently stay in Beirut for signing of French translation of her novel, “The Locust and the Bird: My Mother’s Story,” whose English translation was released in 2009, at Beirut’s Francophone book fair.

Shaykh explained that in this book in particular, she meant to eliminate some of the misconceptions the Western world might have about Arab or Muslim women.
“This is the story of a woman who assumed her choices in life and defied family, society and values by leaving her husband to marry her lover in the 1950s,” said the writer, who veered back and forth from English to Arabic every time the conversation took a heated turn.

“It’s not very accurate that all Arab and Muslim women are oppressed and silenced; my mother and other women led battles from early on.”

Shaykh admits, however, that listening to the story of Kamila, her mother, and the writing process afterward were both “painful” experiences as she was confronted with her grief and untold secrets from the past.

The novelist said the book made her aware of how much she resembled her mother and all the traits she inherited from her.

Shaykh confided that while her feeling of being an abandoned child did not disappear completely, if she were in the same situation Kamila found herself in some 50 years ago, she would have made a similar decision. So the complete story have been shown on TV last time.

Shaykh attributes her talent in shaping attractive and genuine characters to her abilities as an observer. “I was a nosy child … you cannot be a writer if you are not aware of the things and people around you.” Do you believe to her statement, you may have your own statement that more suitable with your life, life style.
