EF#15: Children Games Now and Then

Image Source

BEC theme this time is little bit serious in my opinion, to see the development and diversity of children ages ago, my day today and the days of my children. The theme will be filled with the points of view, opinions and may be slightly open secret, hehehe. Okay, I'll write early in order not to miss anymore. Two weeks yesterday rather hectic at home so that I miss doing submission, but I have paid everything here and here. Then, let's check my earlier submission Just check out my late submission if you have any spare time

The world of children is a world of fun. Every day is filled with innocence respond to what they see in front of them, responding to what they experience or other people around them in their own way. As older adults, we look at it funny, how they innocently asking about this and that, how could it be this and that, all so natural with a very high sense of curiosity. That is children.

The world of children is identical to a world full of play. Beginning soon after the baby was born, the parents always give them age-appropriate toys. Obviously not possibly if newborns are given a book? Hehehe. Children's games were of various kinds. Start of various types of cars, dolls, barbies, cooking, marbles, etc. Start of toys that can be played alone, in small groups and requires many people to play it. In addition to its own object, toy, I prefer to play a game with one or several persons together with peers. It feels better, more interesting and more fun.

When I was little, I prefer to play in groups, such as baseball games, "betengan" (running after one to another), go back to door, "engkling" (jump in a certain shape such as mountain, square, etc.), jump rope, hide and seek, etc., in addition to game houses, barbie or cooking with one or two people . I did it at the afternoon around after the Ashar in front of the house. In front of my parents' house is a fairly wide but deserted vehicles, sometimes also in my parent’s yard, the yard of my parents is spacious enough for a group game. When I go home to my parents' house, and meet up with my childhood friends, we often reminisce about how we played together as children. And it gives the experience and special memories for us.

In my sisters childhood, traditional games in groups like I did already becoming old-fashioned. Children, including my sisters, would rather be at home spending time by watching tv, watch games, and games via pc. So, my sisters do not really know how to play traditional games like I do. Sadly, they do not feel how much fun making new friends through the game.

Children today, also has abandon the traditional game and replace it with game play station, which has many versions. I do not know the types, because I only have sisters, I do not understand the boys game.

But children awareness to technology, coupled also with awareness of parents with technology. My friends, who already have children, willing to spend in a lot of money to improve brain development of their children through educational games that are favored lately. The parents were trying to keep their children out of the gadgets that may develop in the child's mind concern for their surrounding And it was better in my opinion, because the children will be formed into a more intelligent person through these educational games. Killing two birds in one stone. I will do the same if I become parents one day. In order for my children childhood does not depend on the gadgets game and less socializing and making friends with others. I do not blame the parents who prefer or let their children play with gadgets, no, I just express option. Every parent has their own way to educate their children, and all children have their creativity and interest respectively. Because each family have their own story. So, do not judge the book by its cover.

That's mine, where's yours?

EF#14: Childhood Favorite Cartoon Characters

BEC theme last week was one of the many unique themes created by the BEC admin. Unfortunately, I was too late to make a submission. So will I pay today even though it was too late. Better late than never right?

Sailormoon Character

Each child must have had a favorite cartoon characters, including me. In my childhood, I really liked the cartoon of Sailormoon series. What is the reason? Maybe because in the kids world there is a tendency to have a superhero that saves the world, including in my childhood, perhaps the most striking is Sailormoon. I like the story of friendship and character of each sailor is different but remain loyal and help each other when one of her friends in trouble. Not forgetting two cute cats that have a crescent moon mark on his forehead that can talk. Each sailor has a uniqueness of its own, if given the choice, I would probably choose the main character, that cute Usagi and Mamoru are plain and understanding. Of the overall character, cartoon characters drawn with a beautiful face and handsome by the comic artists, it also may be the main attraction for me, hehehehe  I even asked my mother to buy school bags that has Sailormoon picture on it for my birthday present. A sling bag with the color of dark blue that has a full team of Sailormoon picture on it in front of the bag. Unfortunately, I do not have a picture to show to you all, and whether it has to be where the bag now, hehehehe

Conan Edogawa - Sinichi Kudo

I read a lot of comics and watch cartoons because I have sister who love cartoons. If my sister were watching cartoons or reading comics, somehow I became interested to watch or read afterwards. I have a hobby of watching movies, and cartoons are in my list. Some cartoons are interesting and not to be missed are Special A, Furuba (Fruit Basket), Kimini Todoke, Sukitte Iinayo, and of course Detective Conan. Since a few years ago, I liked the character of Conan Edogawa or Sinichi Kudo in the Detective Conan series. I am very interested in his intelligent and way of thinking, he always has a way to solving the mystery that is in front of him. Always makes me amazed, and my eyes are pampered with the depiction of figures that the pretty and handsome-looking, hehehehe

That is my favorite cartoon character.

Who is your favorite cartoon character?

What is (ussually) inside my bag?

Hampir dua minggu tidak ada update posting dalam blog saya serasa sudah satu abad aja saya meninggalkan dunia blogging, membuat jari-jari tangan saya gatal banget untuk menulis. Dan kata-kata yang mengendap dalam kepala saya akan saya posting sekaligus untuk beberapa hari ini, termasuk keterlambatan saya mengikuti BEC weekly’schallenge, balas dendam ini ceritanya, hehe. 

Posting kali ini saya akan membahas tentang tas. Hari ini, siapapun membawa tas, apapun jenis kelaminnya, baik pria maupun wanita, dewasa maupun anak-anak. Entah itu untuk sekolah, kuliah, ke mall, ke kantor dan bahkan ke pasar. Aktivitas kehidupan manusia tidak bisa dilepaskan dari keberadaan benda yang fungsi utamanya adalah untuk membawa satu atau beberapa barang-barang yang lebih kecil. So, barang-barang apa yang sekiranya wajib ada di dalam tas yang digunakan sehari-hari? Yap, saya akan fokuskan posting saya tentang barang apa aja yang selalu ada dalam tas saya kemanapun saya pergi. Yuuk, mari

Barang apa yang selalu ada dalam tas saya? Yang sudah pasti adalah dompet dan hp. Nggak mungkin dong dua benda super penting ini tertinggal dirumah? Dompet yang fungsinya sudah pasti adalah untuk menyimpan uang, baik itu uang kertas maupun koin. Ada sebagian orang yang memisahkan uangnya dalam dompet yang berbeda, dompet untuk uang kertas, kartu atm, kartu kredit, dll dan dompet khusus untuk uang koin. Ada pula yang masih memisahkan dompet untuk uang kertas dan kartu. Jadi berasa membawa tiga dompet ya? Saya tidak seribet itu, dompet saya (masih) satu dan itu-itu aja, kado dari sahabat saya ketika masih kuliah, cukup untuk menampung uang kertas, beberapa kartu penting dan uang receh atau koin. Jadi, kebayang kan bagaimana tebalnya dompet saya yang isinya lebih banyak nota belanja minimarket dan uang koin? Ups, hehe. Benda penting kedua adalah hp, cukup satu smartphone, kemana pun saya pergi, dan nggak akan ketinggalan. Kita tidak akan pernah tahu apa yang akan terjadi pada kita di perjalanan, maka hp adalah alat komunikasi utama untuk meminta bantuan jika terjadi sesuatu yang tidak diinginkan pada kita. Dua benda itu adalah wajib bawa dalam tas saya dalam jarak dekat, masih berada di dalam kota dan tidak memerlukan waktu lama untuk kembali kerumah, misalnya sekedar belanja ke pasar, minimarket atau makan diluar dengan suami. Kalau saya ditanya, ke pasar aja bawa tas? Iya. Bukan untuk fashion, bukan. Lebih karena memang perlu, dompet saya terlalu tebal untuk diletakkan di saku depan atau belakang pakaian (seperti simplenya para pria pada umumnya, termasuk bapak dan suami saya). Dan tentu akan merepotkan lagi setelah selesai belanja, karena tangan kanan dan kiri akan sibuk membawa kantong belanjaan, maka membawa tas adalah pilihan tepat, nggak perlu besar, tas kecil yang cukup untuk dompet dan hp saja

Untuk jarak jauh atau kemanapun yang memerlukan waktu lebih banyak dan mungkin perlu menginap diluar rumah, selain dua barang utama tadi, yang nggak akan ketinggalan adalah mukena atau peralatan ibadah pribadi, kacamata, cermin, lipstick, oil control film, obat-obatan pribadi dan tisu. Untuk traveling, masih dilengkapi dengan power bank, headset, pocket kamera, tongsis, sun glass, pulpen dan buku nikah. Kenapa harus repot-repot bawa buku nikah kemana-mana? Alasannya adalah karena seringnya ikut suami kemana-mana, entah untuk keperluan kantor suami maupun jalan-jalan yang mengharuskan kami keluar masuk hotel, buku nikah adalah bukti otentik yang tidak bisa disanggah. Karena masih ada aja yang menganggap kami bukan pasutri, selain kami memang belum dikaruniai buah hati, apakah mungkin karena saya dan suami masih terlihat seimut-imut itu? eits, hahaha.  

Untuk jarak jauh dan memerlukan waktu lama memang bawaan menjadi  sedikit lebih banyak, oleh sebab itu memerlukan ukuran tas yang agak lebih besar yang cukup untuk menampung semua barang-barang itu. Jadi selain menyesuaikan dengan tujuan dan jarak tempuh, ada baiknya juga sesuaikan barang bawaan kita dengan ukuran tas yang akan kita bawa. Semakin banyak keperluan, jarak tempuh dan lama perjalanan berbanding lurus dengan jumlah barang bawaan.

Itulah beberapa barang yang selalu ada dalam tas saya

So, apa isi tasmu?
