Soldiers who protect our nation.
For their service as our warriors,
They deserve our admiration.
Some were volunteers;
For some it was just yesterday;
For some it’s been many years;
On land or on the sea,
They did whatever was assigned
To produce a victory.
They defended us everywhere.
Some saw combat; some rode a desk;
All of them did their share.
For low pay and little glory,
These soldiers gave up normal lives,
For duties mundane and gory.
Don’t let politics get in the way.
Without them, freedom would have died;
What they did, we can’t repay.
Who kept us safe from terror,
So when we see a uniform,
Let’s say "thank you" to every wearer.
Mari kita bicara soal penulisan. Sekarang ini banyak yang nanya gimana caranya saya bisa nulis tentang macam-macam hal di blog dan bahkan pernah kerja jadi freelance writer untuk blog asing yang membahas tentang keuangan trus dapet $ dari situ padahal sama sekali nggak pernah kerja di bidang keuangan. Kok bisa? Pertanyaan yang sama ditanyakan juga beberapa tahun yang lalu saat saya menulis Je M'appelle Lintang yang setting-nya di Paris. Kok bisa, belum pernah ke Paris tapi nulisnya seakan-akan udah tinggal lama disana? Jawaban atas semua pertanyaan itu adalah: RISET. Sekarang dengan adanya internet (dan Google), melakukan riset itu nggak sesulit jaman dulu. Ada teknik-tekniknya agar semakin mudah melakukan pencarian dan ternyata ada banyak cara lain melakukan riset di internet, nggak cuma melalui search engine aja. Trus teknik risetnya gimana? Gimana biar jadi from zero to hero? Gimana caranya mulai dari mempersiapkan bahan riset, mengumpulkan hingga menuliskannya? Untuk menjawabnya, saya membuat sebuah Ebook 80 halaman berformat PDF yang berjudul Inspirasi.Net ^^ Apakah Ebook ini gratis? Iya gratis, tapi hanya 2 bab pertama. Sisanya beli ya hehehe. Harganya Rp 50.000 Kalau biasanya jualan buku paperback, sekarang jualan digital book, new experience for me :D Karena masih mengukur kemampuan saya sendiri dalam memproduksi Ebook, maka untuk 10 orang pertama yang beli Ebook ini, saya kasih special price Rp 10.000 dengan catatan habis membaca harus me-review Ebook ini ^^V
Dear Gridge,
I miss you.
I can’t stop thinking about you.
The pain of not being able to see you in the flesh, not being able to smell your sweet, puppy aroma that you never seemed to outgrow is just…too much.
Sometimes I think I smell you and I linger wherever I’m sitting/standing/laying in hopes the fragrance will last…but it doesn’t.
Sometimes…..when I hear a distant bark…it sounds like it could be you….but it’s not.
Sometimes….I catch myself saying “come on babies” or “watch out guys” when Kea accidentally gets in my way.
Every month, when the evidence arrives that I am still not going to be a mother, I fall to the floor, hopeless, and for a split second I believe you’ll be there to comfort me as you always did….but you’re not there. Not anymore.
Sometimes…I think I’ll die because the one thing I want and need most in the world is to have you in my arms and to rub my face against your perfect cheeks.
I don’t know how to fill this void in my heart.
I can’t stop thinking about the day you died.
I need your hugs.
I need your close-mouthed kisses.
I need your farts to make me laugh!
I need your face. Nothing made me smile quite like your face.
I need you Gridge.
