“Bukan sebuah kebetulan bila kolonial Belanda mengintroduksi tanaman kopi ke bumi Nusantara. Tentu juga bukan sebuah kebetulan bila rakyat atau petani kecil mengikuti jejak kaum kolonial menanam kopi di pekarangan rumah ataupun di ladang-ladang mereka.”
-Secangkir Kopi Meracik Tradisi-
Minum kopi bukan sekedar kebiasaan bagi masyarakat Indonesia, bahkan sudah membudaya. Lihat saja, banyak sekali gerai minum kopi bertebaran di negeri ini. Dari kelas warung sampai kelas coffee shop. Minum kopi merupakan media bagi mereka yang ingin berkumpul dengan teman, kolega, maupun kerabat serta orang tersayang untuk saling menyapa, bahkan hanya sekedar ingin melepas lelah. Dalam secangkir kopi ada kehangatan diantara riuh tawa, ada keakraban dalam hangatnya sapa, serta ada cinta untuk mereka yang sedang larut dalam asmara. Secangkir kopi, bukan hanya sekedar pengisi waktu luang, melainkan sebuah ritual. Kopi, bisa menjadi sebuah candu. Namun kopi juga mampu menjadi pengobat rindu.
Lalu, apa hubungan tulisan saya ini dengan secangkir kopi? Saya akan bercerita dari awal. Blog bukanlah hal baru bagi saya. Beberapa kali pindah tempat. Tergusur di multiply, tidak sempat menyelamatkan tulisan, tapi beberapa sudah terdokumentasikan dengan baik. Lalu pindah ke blogspot dengan judul blog adalah Selimut Kedamaian. Isi dari blog saya ini hampir sebagian besar adalah puisi. Iya, saya senang sekali berpuisi. Saya selalu menikmati bermain dengan imajinasi dan kata-kata. Apalagi jika dalam keadaan tertekan atau suasana hati yang tidak nyaman, pasti lancar sekali jemari saya dalam bermain aksara. Maklumlah, pada masa itu saya sedang diusia yang resah gundah gulana. Jadilah blog saya ajang curhat tersamar lewat puisi. Maksud hati ingin bikin blog dengan isi yang damai-damai, karenanya selimut kedamaian menjadi judul blog saya. Realitanya malah curhat selipan
Suatu ketika, saya menerima email dari seseorang yang tidak saya kenal. Rupanya dia membaca blog saya dan menyukai beberapa puisi yang saya tulis disana. Dia meminta ijin untuk menyertakan satu puisi saya untuk antologi puisi yang akan dia buat dalam rangka amal. Jadi hasil penjualannya untuk amal. Tentu saja saya senang. Lumayan, numpang tenar 😀
Dan setelahnya ada beberapa tawaran untuk menulis cerita pendek di beberapa antologi. Semuanya berawal dari ngeblog dan Twitter sebagai perpanjangan tangannya. Kesenangan yang membuat banyak jalinan pertemanan.
Tapi setelah memutuskan kuliah lagi, dari yang awalnya mbak-mbak kantoran banyak waktu luang buat nulis, saya menjadi tidak produktif dalam menulis, apapun itu. Puisi, cerita pendek, ataupun hanya sekedar kisah sehari-hari. Waktu dan pikiran saya bener-benar tercurah dengan segala macam dinamika perkuliahan. Hobi menulis saya tersalurkan menjadi menulis tugas-tugas kuliah yang datangnya seperti rentetan peluru, bertubi-tubi. Walhasil selama 2 tahun belakang saya benar-benar vakum.
Nah, sekarang saya punya blog baru. Dibuatkan sama suami. Biar saya rajin nulis lagi katanya. Dia membuat blog ini buat kami berdua. Jadi kalau sesekali ada postingan dalam bahasa Belanda atau bahasa Inggris, berarti dia yang lagi posting. Kecuali saya lagi kesurupan, trus lancar nulis dalam 2 bahasa tersebut.
Cita-cita mulia saya adalah blog ini bisa menjadi seperti secangkir kopi. Mampu membuat orang-orang yang membacanya merasa hangat, senang, gembira ataupun segala macam rasa menjadi satu. Membuat saya mempunyai banyak teman baru dan saling bertukar cerita.
Jadi, mari seruput secangkir kopi, dan duduk bersama disini ^^
Saya dan suami bukan penikmat kopi. Saya air putih mania, dan suami penikmat teh dan rempah-rempah yang setia. Tapi saya menyukai aroma kopi

The following blog is fascinating. Articles or blog posts
similar to this are usually brushed aside, if perhaps truth be
told. There are times the most excellent of the Web has not been the most broadly marketed content, though rather everything other than them, the unnoticed world with blogs that are certainly
a good deal superior when compared with all those of critical famed citizens.
This is this type of a blog. My husband and I will definitely provide counsel, possibly even in cases where we’re not
encouraged to do so. First is, maintain creating. Second is, keep
authoring routinely. Lastly is, implement your
own blogging site to produce your individualized style.
I am not a blog owner per se; I am in fact a Postnatal Massage Therapist.
I carry out Postpartum Massage Therapy, enabling adult
females to recover immediately after having a child. It’s pleasing work.
That is precisely what I commit most of my hours working on, but I have in addition fell in love with publishing from
the time I was young. I read through numerous books and each year
or so I read through a pile far higher as compared to myself personally.
haha In the following calendar year, maybe I
might get determined about blogs. The problem is, it still cannot
simply an outline; the activity of posting and publishing often makes a blog page expand in time. https://mobilemassagenj.livejournal.com/8599.html
Oftentimes, we notice ourselves at the crossroads in everyday life.
On a side will be a challenging route which is considerably more
pleasing, whereas another would be the path of least resistance,
or simply just some other pathway. Whichever way you’ll undertake will decide many things
with regards to your future. Pediatric massage therapy is definitely the way i do spend a majority
of my working days, and it’s really exceptionally fulfilling.
Truthfully, I really could quite conveniently have elected something different, for instance, life as
being a accountant or perhaps as an oceanic scientist.
We can not have a clue how replacing perhaps
a single little aspect is likely to shift pretty much every
portion of our experience. They are simply items to speculate.
What I actually concern myself most about is wellness ideas.
I subscribe to publications dealing with this subject, and I keep up to date about the most recent wellness lab analyses.
In what way is this of any use? Personally, I think there is no more important use for my
energy. Furthermore, this blog page seems as if it’s well worth the time
to check out again. I sift through tons or even more of sites weekly.
Honestly, my back often is painful and I desire a new pursuit.
lol In any case, I think if everyone composed blogs about their
unique time in the world, and did so articulately, we’d currently
have a more interesting globe. http://cenovis.the-m.co.kr/?a%5B%5D=%3Ca%20href=http://pediatric-massage.njmassage.info/%3Ebook%20a%20session%20of%20pediatric%20massage%3C/a%3E

The following blog website is engaging. Content
just like this are quite often left out, if perhaps
fact be told. Normally the finest of the Net will not be the very most extensively advertised articles,
but rather almost everything else, the neglected public
with blogs and forums that are definitely
considerably superior in comparison with those of main well-known men and women. Now
this is this type of a blogging site. I are going to provide guidelines, perhaps every
time not persuaded to do so. Very first is, continue producing.
Second is, maintain posting continually. Lastly is,
apply your personal web log to build your personal style.
I am possibly not a author per se; I am in fact a Postnatal Massage Practitioner.
I practice Perinatal Massage Therapy, supporting females to recharge after having
a baby. It’s advantageous work. That is exactly what I dedicate the majority
of my time undertaking, though I have definitely fell in love
with authoring from the time I was youthful. I am a well-read person and every year or
so I read through a pile way taller as compared to myself personally.
hahaha In the next year, it could be I will get motivated with regards to blogs.
The issue is, it couldn’t basically an outline;
the function of penning and building repeatedly will make a blog site develop over time. https://mobilemassagenj.livejournal.com/13513.html
