'Nasi Sendiri'

Mama menawarkan kepada Athifah lontong untuk menu makan malam. Athifah bersedia. Karena ia tidak mau dengan opor ayam, mama menawarkan kerupuk. Menu yang aneh ya? Lontong dengan kerupuk! Soalnya tidak ada lauk lain selain ayam dan kerupuk. Ayam dalam opor ayam ia tak mau, ayam goreng juga tidak. Athifah menyatakan kesediaannya makan lontong dengan kerupuk. Mama pun menyuapnya. Hanya satu suapan saja, Athifah menolak. Mama menawarkan, bagaimana jika dikasih kecap. Athifah bersedia. Mama kemudian mencampur lontong dengan kecap. Ada yang pernah mencoba menu aneh: lontong dicampur kecap? J.

Kali ini, hanya satu suapan juga sebelum. Athifah menolak dengan tegas, “TIDAK MAU!!!”

Mama: “Lho, tadi bilangnya mau?”

Athifah: “Tidak mau! Saya mau nasi sendiri!”

Mama: “Apa itu? Ini kan nasi kecap juga?”

Athifah: “Tidak mau! Saya tidak mau nasi sama-sama. Saya maunya nasi sendiri!”

Mama: “Memangnya ini apa?” Seraya memperlihatkan ‘lontong kecap’ itu kepada Athifah.

Athifah: “Nasi kecap”

Mama: “Nah tuh .. Ayo makan! Tidak usah main sepeda lagi ya kalau tidak mau makan. Sepedanya mau dinaikkan ke atas lemari!” Ancam mama yang sudah mulai kehabisan akal.

Athifah mengulangi kalimat yang tadi: “Saya maunya nasi sendiri! Saya tidak mau nasi sama-sama!”

Mama makin bingung. Apa maksudnya?

Mama bertanya: “Kalau ‘nasi sendiri’ isinya apa?”

Athifah: “Makanan”

Mama mengulangi pertanyaannya: “Kalau ‘nasi sendiri’ isinya apa? Ada nasi?”

Athifah menjawab: “Iya.”

Mama bertanya lagi: “Dengan apa lagi?”

Athifah diam.

Mama bertanya lagi: “Apa dengan kecap?”

Athifah: “Iya.”

Mama masih bertanya: “Apa Athifah mau taruh sendiri  nasinya?” Mama berpikir, mungkin Athifah mau menyiapkan sendiri makanannya.

Athifah merengek: “Saya mau nasi sendiri, tidak mau nasi sama-sama!”

Duh ...Mama memutar otak. Mungkin Athifah tidak mau ‘lontong’. Ia maunya ‘nasi’ yang berasal dari beras yang ditanak. Sepertinya lidah Athifah tidak bisa dikelabui. Meskipun secara kasatmata kelihatannya lontong (yang sudah dilumat) plus kecap itu persis nasi kecap, Athifah mampu membedakan rasanya. Akhirnya, dengan terpaksa mama mengganti lontong dengan nasi. Mama menyuap Athifah. Athifah mau. Ia makan dengan lahap.

Oalah ... miss communication! Ya iyalah Athifah mampu membedakan rasa lontong dengan nasi. Wong lontong itu dimasak dengan kayu bakar. Jelas saja rasanya yang menjadi sangat khas berbeda dengan nasi yang dimasak di rice cooker ...

Fungsi HP

Biasanya Ifa (9 tahun) dibekali HP oleh umminya kala ummi keluar rumah.

HP itu dipergunakan oleh Ifa untuk menyampaikan ‘pesanan-pesanannya’ kepada ummi, tentang makanan atau minuman apa yang ia inginkan dibelikan oleh ummi.

Malam itu, HP ‘bertugas’ sesuai fungsi yang dikehendaki.

Namun beberapa menit kemudian ...

Ifa menelepon ummi, “Halo .. assalamu ‘alaikum. Ummi, nanti kalau Ummi potongkan rambutnya Ifa, seperti yang Ifa mau nah?”

Tante Niar yang sedari tadi memperhatikan tingkah keponakannya ini nyeletuk, “Yaa, kalau hanya ingin memberitahukan itu kepada ummi, tunggu ummi pulang dong. Masak lewat telepon?”

Ifa menjawab, “Habis .. Ifa sudah tidak sabar... “

Language, learning, identity, privilege by James Soriano

English is the language of learning. I’ve known this since before I could go to school. As a toddler, my first study materials were a set of flash cards that my mother used to teach me the English alphabet.



My mother made home conducive to learning English: all my storybooks and coloring books were in English, and so were the cartoons I watched and the music I listened to. She required me to speak English at home. She even hired tutors to help me learn to read and write in English.

In school I learned to think in English. We used English to learn about numbers, equations and variables. With it we learned about observation and inference, the moon and the stars, monsoons and photosynthesis. With it we learned about shapes and colors, about meter and rhythm. I learned about God in English, and I prayed to Him in English.



Filipino, on the other hand, was always the ‘other’ subject — almost a special subject like PE or Home Economics, except that it was graded the same way as Science, Math, Religion, and English. My classmates and I used to complain about Filipino all the time. Filipino was a chore, like washing the dishes; it was not the language of learning. It was the language we used to speak to the people who washed our dishes.



We used to think learning Filipino was important because it was practical: Filipino was the language of the world outside the classroom. It was the language of the streets: it was how you spoke to the tindera when you went to the tindahan, what you used to tell your katulong that you had an utos, and how you texted manong when you needed “sundo na.”



These skills were required to survive in the outside world, because we are forced to relate with the tinderas and the manongs and the katulongs of this world. If we wanted to communicate to these people — or otherwise avoid being mugged on the jeepney — we needed to learn Filipino.



That being said though, I was proud of my proficiency with the language. Filipino was the language I used to speak with my cousins and uncles and grandparents in the province, so I never had much trouble reciting.



It was the reading and writing that was tedious and difficult. I spoke Filipino, but only when I was in a different world like the streets or the province; it did not come naturally to me. English was more natural; I read, wrote and thought in English. And so, in much of the same way that I learned German later on, I learned Filipino in terms of English. In this way I survived Filipino in high school, albeit with too many sentences that had the preposition ‘ay.’



It was really only in university that I began to grasp Filipino in terms of language and not just dialect. Filipino was not merely a peculiar variety of language, derived and continuously borrowing from the English and Spanish alphabets; it was its own system, with its own grammar, semantics, sounds, even symbols.



But more significantly, it was its own way of reading, writing, and thinking. There are ideas and concepts unique to Filipino that can never be translated into another. Try translating bayanihan, tagay, kilig or diskarte.



Only recently have I begun to grasp Filipino as the language of identity: the language of emotion, experience, and even of learning. And with this comes the realization that I do, in fact, smell worse than a malansang isda. My own language is foreign to me: I speak, think, read and write primarily in English. To borrow the terminology of Fr. Bulatao, I am a split-level Filipino.



But perhaps this is not so bad in a society of rotten beef and stinking fish. For while Filipino may be the language of identity, it is the language of the streets. It might have the capacity to be the language of learning, but it is not the language of the learned.



It is neither the language of the classroom and the laboratory, nor the language of the boardroom, the court room, or the operating room. It is not the language of privilege. I may be disconnected from my being Filipino, but with a tongue of privilege I will always have my connections.



So I have my education to thank for making English my mother language.

2016, Hotel Luar Angkasa Siap Dihuni

CALIFORNIA - Sebuah perusahaan Rusia menawarkan jasa 'hotel' luar angkasa komersil bagi penduduk sipil yang berkeinginan untuk menikmati liburan di luar angkasa.

Seperti yang dikutip dari Mashable, Jumat (19/8/2011), jaman pariwisata luar angkasa sudah hampir tiba. Jika Anda memiliki uang USD1 juta, maka bisa mencoba penginapan luar angkasa selama lima hari di hotel luar angkasa yang dibangun oleh perusahaan Orbital Technologies.

Commercial Space Station

Pengunjung akan diantar ke Commercial Space Station yang berjarak 217 mil di atas Bumi dengan menggunakan roket Soyuz. Sesampainya di sana, maka anda bergabung dengan enam turis lainnya (stasiun tersebut belum bisa menampung banyak turis).

Fitur yang menjadi andalan Commercial Space Station mungkin adalah tingkapan di sisi kapal, yang memungkinkan pengunjung untuk melihat pemandangan Bumi dan bintang-bintang.

Meski biaya perjalanannya masih sangat mahal untuk penerbangan komersil (USD1 juta), para pengamat berharap bahwa dengan diluncurkannya 'paket pariwisata' tersebut dapat memicu tumbuhnya perusahaan-perusahaan dengan jasa pelayanan serupa.

Sampai saat ini dilaporkan sudah ada 9 perusahaan swasta yang siap meluncurkan paket liburan ke luar angkasa, sehingga nantinya akan muncul iklim bisnis baru yang lebih kompetitif dan ramah bagi kantong konsumen.

____________

Visitors will be escorted to the Commercial Space Station which is 217 miles above Earth by using a Soyuz rocket. Arriving there, then you join the six other tourists (the station can not accommodate many tourists).

Ilmuwan Singapura Ciptakan 'Robot Cinta'

SINGAPURA - Rasanya mustahil membayangkan sebuah robot memahami perasaan cinta. Namun sejumlah ilmuwan di Singapura ternyata mampu mewujudkan hal itu.

Hooman Samani dan beberapa peneliti lain dari National University of Singapore kabarnya telah mengembangkan sebuah robot dengan kemampuan "mengimitasi kemampuan manusia untuk mencintai".

'Lovotics', robot cinta kreasi ilmuwan Singapura

Tentu saja, wujud cinta robot itu tidak sama persis dengan yang dilakukan manusia, seperti mengirimkan bunga atau memberi cincin berlian dan sebagainya. Namun robot ini bisa mengubah warnanya ketika sedang jatuh cinta, demikian dilansir TG Daily, Senin (1/8/2011).

Bagaimana robot yang dipenuhi bulu putih menyerupai binatang itu jatuh cinta? Menurut Samani dan rekan-rekannnya, robot itu dilengkapi mikrofon dan kamera yang memungkinkan dirinya mengenali pemiliknya dan diharapkan bisa membangun hubungan dalam waktu yang lama.

Seperti halnya hubungan antar manusia, robot tersebut akan merespon terhadap perlakuan si pemilik. Contoh saja, jika pemilik menghabiskan waktu terlalu banyak dengan manusia lain dan tidak mengacuhkan kasih sayang si robot, dia akan merasa cemburu atau bosan.

Hubungan antara robot dan pemiliknya juga sangat bergantung pada interaksi sentuhan langsung, sesuatu yang juga penting dalam hubungan antar manusia.

Robot itu sendiri merupakan bagian dari studi yang dilakukan Samani tentang “cinta manusia dan robot” dan kerap disebutnya sebagai "Lovotics". Namun Samani mengaku bahwa Lovotics masih membutuhkan lebih banyak pengembangan sebelum benar-benar sempurna.

________

Like human relationships, the robot will respond to the treatment of the owner. Example, if the owners spend too much time with other people and not ignore love the robot, he will feel jealous or bored.

Ilmuwan Temukan Planet 'Putri Salju'

CALIFORNIA - Para ahli astronomi Amerika Serikat (AS) mengatakan bahwa sebuah planet kecil yang ditemukan oleh ilmuwan memiliki lapisan es dan sedikit atmosfir.

Seperti yang dikutip dari UPI, Rabu (24/8/2011), planet kecil berjuluk Snow White yang ditemukan tersebut ditutupi oleh lapisan es dan memiliki sedikit lapisan atmosfir.

Planet 'Snow White'

Para ilmuwan di California Institute of Technology mengatakan bahwa planet kecil dengan nama sains 2007 OR10 tersebut mungkin memiliki sedikit lapisan methan, yang mana merupakan sisa unsur pembentuk atmosfir.



"Anda akan dapat melihat gambaran yang indah sebuah planet yang dulunya memiliki gunung berapi dan atmosfir, yang kini hanyalah planet dingin tanpa atmosfir," ujar Mike Brown, profesor of planetary astronomy dari California Institute of Technology.



"Planet kecil tersebut berada di ujung batas tata surya kita dan berukuran setengah dari Pluto," tambahnya.



Planet kecil yang berjarak jauh tersebut juga merupakan bagian dari kumpulan objek es antariksa di ujung Tata Surya kita yang bernama Kuiper Belt Objects.



"Kami kini sedang meneliti kapan planet Snow White 'hidup'," ungkap Brown.



"Selama 4 setengah miliar tahun, planet Snow White sudah berada di sana, dan kemudian mulai kehilangan atmosfirnya. Kini hanya sedikit sekali yang tersisa dari atmosfir planet kecil tersebut," pungkasnya.



__________



"Over the past four and a half billion years, the planet's Snow White was already there, and then began to lose its atmosphere. Now very little is left of the small planet's atmosphere," he concluded.

Motor Matik Incaran Nomor Satu Pencuri di Inggris

LONDON - Walau populasinya tak sebesar di Indonesia, ternyata skuter matik (skutik) merupakan sepeda motor paling diincar pencuri di Inggris.



Skutik menempati urutan pertama dari 10 model sepeda motor yang banyak dicuri di Inggris tahun lalu menurut catatan ACPO Vehicle Crime Intelligence Service (AVCIS).



Nama Piaggio paling menonjol karena lima model skutik asal Italia ini paling digemari pencuri, termasuk Vespa, Zip, dan NRG. Demikain dikutip dari Visordown, Selasa (23/8/2011).



"Fakta ini menunjukkan para pemilik skutik dengan harga yang lebih terjangkau perlu menyadari adanya paket keamanan tambahan bagi sepeda motornya," kata Head of AVCIS Detective Chief Inspector Mark Hooper.



Hasil catatan AVCIS juga menunjukkan para pemilik sepeda motor sport dengan harga high-end lebih jarang dilaporkan kehilangan kendaraannya dibanding pemilik skutik.



Detektif Mark Hooper juga menyebutkan, pencurian untuk motor skutik di Inggris ini hanya memakan waktu kurang dari 10 detik dan waktu yang sedikit lebih lama guna mengangkut motor curian itu ke atas van. "Jadi lebih waspada jika Anda memarkirkan skutik Anda," tegas Hooper.



Berikut hasil catatan AVCIS yang memperlihatkan daftar motor favorit para pencuri di Inggis.1. Gilera Runner2. Piaggio Vespa 3. Piaggio Zip4. Peugeot Speedflight5. Piaggio NRG6. Honda SCV7. Piaggio ET28. Yamaha YZF9. Piaggio Typhoon10. Yamaha DT 125.

Detective Mark Hooper also said the theft to the motor scooter in the UK it takes only less than 10 seconds and a slightly longer time to transport the stolen motorcycles onto the van. "So the more vigilant if you park your scooter," said Hooper.

Tak Ada Narkoba di Tubuh Amy Winehouse

Dugaan bahwa Amy Winehouse meninggal akibat mengonsumsi narkoba ternyata sama sekali tak terbukti. Meski ada saksi yang mengatakan kalau Amy sempat membeli heroine malam sebelum ia ditemukan meninggal namun nyatanya tak ada jejak barang haram dalam tubuh Amy. Sampai sekarang polisi masih menyelidiki penyebab kematian penyanyi asal Inggris ini.



"Hasil toksikologi yang diserahkan pihak berwenang pada keluarga Winehouse memastikan bahwa tidak ada zat ilegal dalam tubuh Amy pada saat ia meninggal," ujar pihak keluarga mendiang Amy Winehouse dalam sebuah pernyataan resmi seperti dikutip dari Contact Music. Meski begitu, pihak berwenang menemukan jejak alkohol namun belum bisa memastikan apakah ini adalah penyebab kematian Amy.



"Hasil juga menunjukkan kalau ada alkohol di tubuh Amy tapi belum bisa dipastikan apakah ini ada sangkut pautnya dengan kematian Amy," lanjut keluarga Amy dalam pernyataan yang sama. Dalam pernyataan yang sama keluarga mendiang juga mengucapkan terima kasih pada pihak kepolisian yang telah berusaha keras mencari tahu penyebab kematian Amy dan selalu memberikan informasi secepat mungkin pada pihak keluarga Amy.



__________



Allegations that Amy Winehouse is dying from taking drugs was not at all evident. Although there are witnesses who say that Amy had to buy heroine night before he was found dead but in fact there was no trace of illicit goods in Amy's body. Until now the police are still investigating the cause of death of this British singer.

Kambing 'Ramah Lingkungan' dari Maryland

Annapolis - Beberapa kota dan organisasi di Maryland yang merupakan negara bagian dari Amerika Serikat (AS) telah menemukan metode ramah lingkungan untuk mengurangi tanaman liar (gulma) dari kebun mereka.



"Hewan yang lapar akan memakan rumput pada vegetasi padat yang akan mengunyah gulma sebagai tanaman pengganggu dan tanaman ini juga mengurangi pasokan pupuk untuk pertumbuhan rumput yang diinginkan," ujar Brian Knox pemilik bisnis kambing ramah lingkungan, yang berbasis di Davidsonville, Maryland.

Kambing 'Ramah Lingkungan' yang berada di Maryland

"Semua orang tahu bahwa gulma dapat meracuni dengan merambat pada tanaman yang kita tanam dan sulit untuk dihilangkan. Namun kambing nampaknya tidak banyak berpikir untuk mengunyahnya," tambah Knox, seperti dikutip Yahoo News, Senin (1/8/2011).



Kambing 'ramah lingkungan', merupakan bisnis yang sudah dijalani Knox sejak tiga tahun lalu. Puluhan kambing ini di jual melalui situs internet guna memperkenalkannya kepada para pelanggan dan berharap bisa membantu membersihkan kebun para pelanggan dari bahaya gulma. Tidak hanya menjual kambing, Knox juga menjual pagar listrik yang memungkinkan agar kambing tidak lari dan tetap merumput berhari-hari di kebun pelanggan untuk menghabiskan gulma.



Knox juga menambahkan, satu kelompok yang terdiri dari 30 kambing dapat menghilangkan gulma yang ada pada 100 meter persegi dalam waktu sehari. ini dikarenakan kambing merupakan hewan pendaki terbaik dan lincah, jadi bisa menjangkau gulma di tempat sulit sekalipun.



Ketika pekerjaannya selesai, kambing akan meninggalkan kotorannya yang juga berfungsi sebagai pupuk. Biaya yang harus dikeluarkan pelanggan untuk mengerjakan lahan seluas 2,5 hektar, ialah USD5,750.



Di Gaithersburg, Maryland, kelompok konservasi Izak Walton League of America (IWLA), menyebut kambing ini sebagai penghilang tanaman penggangu yang handal dan cukup baik melindungi tanaman.

"Untuk menghilangkan spesies tanaman penggangu yang menjengkelkan, Anda bisa bergaul dengan beberapa kambing lucu ini saat Anda membutuhkannya," ungkap Rebecca Wadler, Assosiasi Program Pendidikan Berkelanjutan, di IWLA.

Bulan Madu Berakhir Petaka: Mempelai Pria Tewas Diserang Hiu

LONDON - Baru sebulan menyandang status sebagai istri, Gemma Redmond harus menjanda. Suaminya, Ian Redmond, tewas diserang ikan hiu di sebuah resort di Seychelles, tempat mereka berbulan madu.

Gemma dan Ian

Kini, guru sekolah dasar berusia 27 tahun ini masih terpukul. Ian dan Gemma berpacaran selama sembilan tahun sebelum akhirnya memutuskan menikah bulan ini.



"Saya sangat mencintainya dan dia adalah seorang suami yang sangat khusus, seorang putra yang bijaksana, dan seorang saudara setia. Dia bekerja tanpa lelah untuk mewujudkan impiannya membentuk kehidupan rumah tangga yang indah," katanya.



Serangan hiu datang saat pasangan ini pada minggu kedua bulan madu mereka di Pulau Praslin memutuskan menikmati keindahan pantai Anse Lazio berdua. Suaminya berenang di pantai, dan Gemma sibuk merekamnya dengan kamera video. Perairan itu relatif dangkal, dan hanya 20 meter dari pantai. Ia baru saja duduk untuk berjemur ketika mendengar teriakan minta tolong suaminya.



Dalam waktu singkat ia telah kehilangan lengan dan menderita luka-luka mengerikan pada kaki kirinya, serta bekas gigitan pada tubuh dan pinggulnya.



Wisatawan lainnya berusaha keras untuk menyelamatkannya saat ia berbaring dalam kondisi mengalami perdarahan hebat. Namun nyawanya tak tertolong.
