#13: Love for Books

 Day 13 of 30 days writing challenge

Love for Books

Well, this is a bit a tricky part. Basically I really like to read. But eversince I got addicted to gadget (esp. smartphone and tablet), my frequent reading habit drastically reduced.

Nonetheless, I still read occasionally. But to decide which is my favourite book will be hard, because I love so many kinds of books. Mostly I love fantasy fiction, but I also read non-fiction as well. But I guess I'd try to pick one of my ol' time fave: Harry Potter.



Why Harry Potter?

Well, first of all, it's like the first super thick fantasy book that I read like super fast and non-stop. The story is so intriguing you hooked into every page--again and again and you can't really stop. The book itself is indeed magical because so many people were extremely fond of the series. 

Harry Potter series contained of 7 books, written by J.K. Rowling, a female UK writer, during her desperate days. 

There are also spinoffs of the series like the series of Fantastic Beast which tells the story of another major character but not parallel to Harry's time: Newt Scamander, a famous wizard scientist (?) that researched on magical creatures and beasts. 

Anyways, I'll stick to explaining about Harry Potter for today's topic.

The story

Harry Potter was an orphan, raised by her uncle, Vermont Dursley and aunt, Petunia Dursley along with his cousin Dudley. They lived in 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging, Surrey, England. The Dursleys treated Harry badly, they put him inside the cupboard under the stairs instead of giving him his own room. 

Harry's mother, Lily, was a witch, and she alongside with her husband James, which was a wizard, both tragically killed by the infamous Lord Voldemort, a dark wizard that had a reputation of killing mudbloods (a calling for a half wizard/witch half Muggle(normal human without magic)) and tried to rule the whole wizarding world. Magically, Harry survived somehow. Some said it's because of his mother's love, but later on it will be explained why. Hence, Harry was famous in wizarding world as 'the boy who survived' and he was practically like a mesiah in that world. The whole series depicting Harry's struggle to fight Voldemort, sometimes alone sometimes with a little help from his friends.

Anyway, I'm really tired. I wished I can tell today's blog more stories from Harry's saga, but I'm too tired I can't really open my eyes. Today was tiring, think I'll call it a day. Nighty night 😘.

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'...
