Outfit and all the fuss we've made


Why is it always a problem on wearing something which is uncommon somewhere?
I never object of people piercing, dyeing, or tattooing any parts of their body, or even undressed at all. So why bother with my head-cover?

You see, it's not something that men in my religion force women to wear in order to surpress our freedom, it is most likely act as an identity or filter for us, or maybe at least for me. A filter for me to stop a relationship (or maybe having casual sex) with people from different religion with me (but I have no feeling on doing casual sex with anyone at all, or object people who are doing this, since it's their option, not mine). Simply not because I'm a racist, it's just in my country it's difficult to be with someone who's in different religion with you. So, this covering prevent me from getting into a wrong one. Why do I act like this? because I don't want a further problem in my life created by different perspective relationships. It won't be a problem in this country, but it's a huge problem in my country. And it's not only me, people other than moslems maybe do so too, they choose people from the same religion all the time. So, this is just another way on doing it.

You see, having this thing over my head would simply justified me into Moslem. Maybe you'd ask, why do you want to be categorized into any group while you can mingle? Hmm..the answer is, because I want to. Face it, no one wants to look 'ordinary'. You've got to get your identity somehow. It's not uncommon to express yourself with some kinda clothing, people do that all the time. So what's the trouble in this? I chose this way, and I mind my own business.

One of a very 'wise' friend ask me in cynical tone, 'How d'you plan on swimming? You'll use that 'athlete-like' thingy?'. I said yes, I do have a peculiar swimsuit, and I do notice that for some people it'll be a burden to see someone (especially women?) with improper bathing suit. But people choose their own clothing, right? I don't need your object, mister! Especially from people of the same country as I do, where a lotta people dressed as I am.

Maybe for some people westernized mind means westernized clothing. Well, I still use jeans. I only wear head coverings, and long sleeves clothes. Those're the only things divide me from the rest of you, despite my skin color and race though. If you can call me 'chinese' on the street, I have no problem to be called 'Moslem'. After all, the world's full with racists.

Ikhtiar

Ingin sekedar berbagi cerita tentang perjalanan hidup sampai mendapatkan yang dinanti-nanti.  Alhamdulillah dua tahun slowdown karena pandemi membawa berkah. Setahun setelah menikah, kami dianugerahi seorang putri yang sangat kami sayangi. Perjalanan  mendapatkannya bisa dibilang tidak mudah. Akumulasi semua pengalaman sebelumnya, banyak rintangan yang dihadapi. Namun syukurlah Allah memberikan amanah kepada kami sekeluarga.  Berkah Habatussaudah Ternyata hadits Rasulullah tentang keutamaan Habatussaudah atau jinten hitam sebagai obat segala penyakit* benar adanya. Jinten hitam ini adalah faktor pembeda utama, selain suami yang sangat sabar dan waktu di rumah yang lebih panjang karena work from home (wfh) . Setelah menikah dengan suami yang penyabar ini, saya disarankan oleh adik saya untuk berikhtiar dengan cara mengkonsumsi 7 (tujuh) butir Habatussaudah/jinten hitam yang sudah disangrai dan madu setiap hari. Cukup tujuh butir, tidak perlu banyak-banyak karena Habatuss...

Mama Drama (yang tercinta)

Selain MLM dan rokok, ada satu hal lagi yang saya bener-bener ga tahan: Mama Drama.  ------- (Warning: postingan ini bikin emak-emak hardchore kejang-kejang. Use it wisely. 😂  Move along at your own risk. ) ------- Semua ibu-ibu baru ini (seumuran sama saya) kelakuannya sangat tipikal di media sosial macam facebook dan path. Terlalu banyak membagi informasi mengenai anak-anaknya dan sangat sangat sangat emosional jika diingatkan ( mama bear will bite you to death! ). Saya sampai pada satu titik dimana saya sangat yakin bahwa mungkin dulu saya tidak benar-benar berteman dengan mereka, karena jelas sekali saya di luar lingkaran mereka (dari segi bahasa, kehidupan, dan persepsi) (Semua ilustrasi saya hapus karena yang punya drama emosi..) Panggilan tipikal: si anu mamanya anu Yang bikin saya paling sadar kalo saya bukan temannya lagi itu adalah saat saya lihat statusnya dan komen-komen di statusnya, semua orang adalah mama/papa/ayah/bunda/kakek/nenek dari nama si...

The Revelation of the Infamous Hags

Well, well, well. What d'you know? At first you were their friends, but right there at the moment they don't need you anymore or despise you with hatred and envy you with all their might--you just turn into the object of their cruelty! Disguise in their keen elegance, never did they actually revealed their truer form infront of promising 'customers'. They even can agitate people into hating each other--and some people really take it personally and even put grudge to people they don't even know! Sick isn't it? Well, they DO dressed nice, covering all that evil devilish thoughts behind their artificial skins. But once you see them, they're nothing but ol' malicious hags, lurking around for prey. Their smiles aren't genuine. Their acts always for the sake of themselves and themselves only--whether to bossing around, getting ETERNAL youth (?), or just bullying others that potentially harmful for their mighty being. I wonder why some people still can'...
