A Hijab History


Lagi 'gak bisa tidur, terus lihat-lihat gambar bikinan zaman dulu pas masih sekolah. Masa-masa paling labil tapi paling indah buatku. Karena dari situlah aku tau mana yang baik dan mana yang buruk. Yang baik baru kelihatan baik setelah kamu tau yang buruk, bukan? Nah. Kejadian itu aku alami pas masa transisi dari SMP menuju SMA.
Hijab and me.
Waktu SMP aku lumayan berandalan. Pernah diomelin guru, pernah kabur dari sekolah terus ketahuan polisi, pernah berantem sama laki-laki sampe masuk BP, pernah pake sepatu putih pas lagi razia sepatu, pernah (hampir) berantem dengan anak SMP lain, pernah nge-bully orang, pernah naek gunung bareng teman sekelas dan gak minta izin ortu, pernah bawa banyak komik ke sekolah dan pas banget lagi razia tas, pernah ngecilin baju seragam dan gak bilang ortu, dan gak keitung berapa kali aku musuhan antar geng (ohyaa aku punya geng) dengan teman-teman lain. (tapi aku gak berani ngerokok atau lainnya. OMG gak mungkin banget itu). Agak mengejutkan karena dengan segala reputasi buruk itu, aku masih bisa juara kelas (tapi aku dibenci guru-guru).

Publish or Perish: A Blogger History


This time I want to tell you something about the reason why I’ve got this blog, which is, they said, wasting time and energy. So if you are curious enough about what is behind this blog, you can keep reading. But it’s gonna be very, very long. You've been warned.

It started when I was a little kid, like, 18 years ago when I saw my mother’s drawing on an old book. She drew these four beautiful women: two worn nice veils, one with a high hair bun, and one with a long banged hair.



For one moment I was paralyzed. I said to myself, how can human draw this beautiful and perfect? So then I’ve become a big fan of my mother’s drawing and asked her to draw and draw and draw again, like million times, even as I remembered, she was pregnant for my younger brother and too tired to draw. Until one day, she got annoyed and she said she wouldn't draw me anymore.

Umbrella

This girl's drawing is a submission for Illustration Friday this week. The inspiration comes from my visit to the "Gelar Jepang UI" last week. I saw this cute little girl carrying her umbrella so beautifully. I guess she was an elementary school student. But I made it a little darker (as always).

A girl, carrying her umbrella so tall.

It's Ramadhan Again!

Alhamdulillah..it's Ramadhan again! Means, Muslim will do the fasting. And tarawih, and a lot of good deeds, and many more.

Welcome Ramadhan 1433 H!
May Allah always bless us. Btw, I promise you now, I won't write about any desperate stuff again because it's just too terrible to read I should keep it myself. ;) Happiness for us!
