Kangen... =')

17:50:00

Kemarin, tepat 2 minggu Mbah Uti meninggal. Nenekku tercinta.

Beliau ibu ibuku.
Wanita yang dicintai banyak orang karena kedermawanannya, kebaikan hatinya.
 
Mbah Uti sosok yang aktif. Di jaman penjajahan Jepang, beliau adalah wakil desa untuk pendidikan ketrampilan.Oleh karena itu beliau pandai menyulam, menjahit, memasak. Jika akan lebaran, seluruh dusun akan berkumpul di dapur mbah Uti, membawa bahan mentah kue-kue dan memasak bersama di situ, karena cuma mbah Uti yang hapal di luar kepala resep-resepnya! =)

Ini foto Mbah Uti favoritku, menunjukkan kalau beliau tidak bisa berhenti beraktivitas. Bahkan di pernikahan ibuku, beliau sendiri yang jadi "stage manager" semuanya. =)

 

Cerita yang paling menempel dari mbah Uti di kepala saya adalah tentang kepuasan memberi. Sebutlah cerita-cerita yang ada di masyarakat bagaimana kejamnya ibu tiri, maka itu pula yang dialami oleh Mbah Uti. Ayah mbah Uti menikah lagi setelah ibu mbah Uti meninggal. Dari istri pertama, didapat 2 putri, mbah Uti dan mbah Pah. Istri kedua, yang merupakan ibu tiri mbah Uti benar-benar seperti yang digambarkan di dongeng-dongen. Pilih kasih, bermanis mulut ketika ada suami saja, memberi makan anak tirinya tanpa lauk. Mbah Pah benci sekali dengan ibu tirinya. Beliau berjanji untuk tidak memberi apapun kepada ibu tiri ketika sudah menikah dan memiliki materi sendiri. Sebaliknya, Mbah Uti bilang:
"Nggak dik, kalau aku punya duit, bisa makan setiap hari, Mbok (ibu tiri) akan aku beri sebanyak mungkin. Lebih enak memberi kok. Enak di hati."

Sederhana, tapi mengena.

Mohon Maaf, Saya Memang Tidak Membalas Sms Anda

12:33:00

Bukan maksud hati tidak menghormati anda sekalian, tetapi beberapa keadaan beruntun yang memaksa. 
Lebaran ini kedua ponakan datang di Mojosari. Babysitting everyday.
Mudik ke dua nenek di Mojoagung dan Kediri. It was happy actually.
Kemudian ketika pulang, pilek berat dan radang melanda.
Keesokan hari, nenek saya terjatuh dan belum tersadar hingga sekarang.
Beliau kritis. 
Saya tahu ini tidak sepantasnya dijadikan apologi untuk menghindari kewajiban membalas pesan anda.
Tapi yakinlah, seluruh kesalahan Anda telah saya maafkan.
Tinggal saya, lewat post ini memohon maaf sedalam-dalamnya.
Minal Aidzin wal Faidzin. Maaf lahir batin

deeply regards,
Vinka Maharani

It's More Than Just A Shirt, It's Everything. =)

22:31:00

This was my 2nd year selling the merchandise of Gathotkaca Studio, local animation studio. It's a supa-dupa-long story if I telling you the history, so it'll be better you read it here.

It has been several times we were opening "pre-order" system. People have to pay before we produce the shirts. They pre-ordering by text me. I'm the one who answers all of those messages. We opened 5-6 pre-order, so it might be thousands message had been sent from my little-tiny cellphone. Hehe. =P

Some peoples ordered for several times, so I had memorized them by rote. I remember their address, their size and even their cell number. Hehehe. These people are our savior, our heroes. They keep our animation breath. Yea, we still fighting for take a breath. But then we met other brothers & sisters (we called each other as "Jeh", no gender discrimination. =D ) at the screening places and they metamorphose our breath into a full gallon of spirit. These are the real Gathotkaca Studio's heroes, brothers & sisters:

Grammar SuroBoyo 3 Premiere Screening @ Royal Plaza, Surabaya
SuroBoyo Peduli Sumatera ft Grammar SuroBoyo 3.5 @ Matchbox Cafe, Surabaya
Surabaya AnimNation (Premiere of CuloBoyo Juniol) @ CCCL Surabaya
CuloBoyo screening ft Kumpul Animasi 2010 @ GoetheHaus, Jakarta
Surabaya AnimNation part II @ MagnetZone, Surabaya
In our last production batch, we choose to appreciate our heroes more. And these 2 people are the both lucky. It doesn't mean that we don't appreciate another, but its our incapability for provide many gifts. Dante & Ryo, thanks for your loyalty. It means a lot, really, I mean it. 

Ryo wearing our Racing Lontong's shirt! =)

Dante Nararya =)








Another chance comes over, from our independent musician friends. They ask us to support their project to celebrate our independence day, in Surabaya way. Absolutely, with our limitation, we tried the best. Look at this, this is the rehearsal & the recording.
 
Now, I'm proudly present the result, Bestfriend Project in "Rek Ayo Rek" jazzy version! =D















Yes! They wearing our shirts! Looks very good on them. Our talented director Jaka Triadi (Monkey Make Movies) captured it beautifully. I'm very lucky had already know them. 

As my titles on this post, it's more than just a shirt, it's everything. It brings me to know talented peoples. It gives me chances to meet new and unexpected friends. Thanks for being there Jeh. =*

PS: This is one of our newest design. This one my favorite. I say it is CIAMSO. CIAMIK SORO! 
(It means guhhhhhhhhreeeeaaaaaat! =D).
