#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 😘.

How to Ghibli?

That time of the year, again. Why can't life be more like Ghibli's aesthetics? It has been a while for me to be in my 30s, and soon I will be turning 40. What will one expect when one turns into a 40-year-old woman?  Why can't life be like Ghibli's slice of life feature films? Why can't we find ideal love like in those movies? 3 years ago today I still can't imagine that I finally found out that my (back then) spouse was a serial cheater, a swinger, and an avid liar. My whole life was crumbled, and my mind went crazy, like literally mad (will tell this someday when I'm ready). And briefly after that, I met a random guy, got married again in such a short time, and have a baby not long after. Back then, no one really cares about how I feel inside, my messed up mind is still there up until now. So, what to do?

#11: Siblings

 Day 11 of 30 days writing challenge. Siblings You either love 'em unconditionally or hate them occasionally . They share the same blood as you, they're your first friends. And it's not uncommon that you spent your days fighting and quarrelling with them at day and get along again at night. Your parents still mad at you but you already reconciliate with them. A brother and a sister As a middle child, I always stuck in between. My brother and my sister both have strong personalities. When they're fighting it's like a fierceful battle between Dragon Slaying Sabre VS Heavenly Sword --minus maybe they're both a bit antagonistic , none really chivalry. Brother My big bro is an amazing abstract learner. Why I said "abstract"? It's because he never did enjoy the typical learning practices in formal education. But when we're younger, different methods weren't there for children with superb or different qualities. Anyways, he's an avid lear...

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...
