kata bu Ridha, gurunya Gia, Gia diberi time out karena tadi Gia sama Keisha lari-lari terus di dalam kelas. udah diingetin dua kali masih saja lari-lari. akhirnya yang ketiga kali Gia dikenai time out. ‘punishment’ yang diberikan adalah Gia dan Keisha harus makan, sholat, dan mandi secara sendiri, tidak bergabung dengan teman-temannya yang biasa makan dst bareng2.

apa yang terjadi…………….? berikut ini dialog Ibu sama Gia ketika Ibu menjemputnya di sekolah sore tadi.

Gia: “Ibu-ibu…Gia seneng tadi…!”

Ibu: “Gimana Gi?”

Gia: “Tadi Gia nya time out jadi Gia nya kayak anak mandiri”

Ibu: “O ya…anak mandiri gimana?”

Gia: “Iya, Gia nya jadi makan sendiri, minum susu sendiri, dan mandi sendiri…soalnya Gia nya time out…”

Ibu: “emang kenapa Gia nya time out?”

Gia: “Iya….Gia nya kan lari-lari sama Keisha…kalau temen2 jalan ajahhh” (dengan senengnya ekspresi Gia mengatakan kalimat terakhir ini:))

mendengar Ibu menceritakan hal ini…aku gak kaut menahan ketawa… dan bingung juga…yang jelas konsep time out bagus juga bikin Gia seneng mengerjakan makan minum mandi sendiri:)

Oh Gia..Gia…kamu permata hatiku nak…tx God for trusting us being her parents…

Mau milih ato pergi?

Satu partai atau bagi-bagi?

Udah mantap atau bingung lagi?

Pemilu untuk siapa?

Untuk rakyat atau wakilnya?

Untuk kita atau mereka?

Atau biarkan saja?

Pemilu katanya penting

Apalagi di masa genting

Salah pilih bisa jadi pening

Tapi iklannya bikin pusing

Pemilu luar biasa

Ada burung garuda di mana-mana

Ada yang janjikan rakyat sejahtera

Ada yang bilang lebih cepat dan lebih bisa

Ada yang mau didukung dan lanjutkan

Semua ada semua bisa

Rakyat dimana?

Ada dalam janji mereka

Nanti bagaimana?

Kita tagih janjinya

Sighhhhhhh… sometime, scoring the goals just never easy at all. Yet I have to be better next.

Within the brilliant mind of primatologist Ethan Powell (Academy Award® winner Anthony Hopkins) lies an ominous secret — a deep-seated mystery unsolved by his estranged family and the law enforcement officials who have tracked him down and jailed him for murders that occurred in the jungles of Rwanda. Highly educated and sophisticated, Powell’s truth was derived from years of studying mountain gorillas — to the point where he was living among them in the wild and accepted as one of their own. Now, held captive in a brutal prison for the criminally insane, Powell, who has not spoken in years, is remanded to psychiatrist Theo Caulder (Academy Award® winner Cuba Gooding Jr.), who must try to unlock the dark mystery from the mind of what appears to be a madman. What he encounters is a series of perplexing mysteries, questions with chilling answers, and shocking psychological truths. Eventually both men are led on an extraordinary journey of self-discovery.
