lho? dikau pikir bahasa inggris begitu lahir ceprot jadi bahasa, langsung
jadi world language? nehi! those colonials could not totally forget what
they left behind, so they changed whatever they saw in the light what they
experienced 'at home'. sekali lagi, kukutipkan dari 'small place'nya
jamaica kincaid:
"...they should never have left their home, their precious england,
a place they loved so much, a place they had to leave but could never
forget. and so everywhere they went they turned it into england; and
everybody they met they turned into english. but no place could really
be england, and no body who did not look exactly like them would ever
be english, so you can imagine the destruction of people and land that
came from that..."
so...

makanan baru bisa disebut enak, kalau udah masuk mulut.
konon tamsil sering digunakan untuk menyampaikan pendapat atau gagasan
dalam komunitas yang anggotanya tak bergelar master maupun phd. nah kasus
di atas kalau saya tamsilkan seturut pendapat saya menjadi:
pada suatu hari, dalam suatu social function, sekelompok orang 'terhormat'
makan 'thiwool legi'nya yu senik. tujuan mereka pertama-tama mau cuman
mau menghargai makanan 'rakyat kecil'. tapi ternyata mereka 'tuman'.
'thiwool' yang sebelumnya masuk dalam kategori makanan orang gunungkidul
yang rawan pangan 'mendekatkan' orang-orang terhormat dan 'wong cilik'
yang vurnarabel dengan h.o. lho apa nggak hebat? jelas lebih hebat
daripada hamburger, ka ep ce, yang cuma jadi konsumsi orang terhormat
bermobil saja.
i vote for someone who is highly

sayangnya, saya lebih endorse dengan pendapat arief budiman mengenai orang
yang dikau sebut sebagai 'brave and can be trusted'. [arief budiman spoke
in many occasion about the 'prospective' indonesian leaders]
do you think quiet is golden??
saya bisa menerima keterangan mangara siahaan mengenai ke-diam-am si mbak.
