“Oh, crap.”
“Yeah, oh crap indeed!” seruku.
Dinda menatapku bengong. “Sumpah, gue nggak nyangka loh, Key. I didn’t see this coming.”
“Lo kirain gue nyangka?” seruku. “Sebenarnya sih gue udah mulai nggak suka ya, Din, pas si Panji itu main ngomong ‘titip jagain’ gue ke lo, waktu kita ke Philipines itu. Tapi waktu itu gue mikirnya ya sudahlah, mungkin dia cuma mau nunjukin ke lo kalau dia...

RT @mya_ramayanti: Divortiare punya daya hisap luar biasa. Dan akun sebelah obat paling mujarab untuk rasa penasaran akan ending-nya.
RT @sellyzevania: I love Alex and Beno, their love-hate relationship, how they can be whom they really are, how marriage is not as smooth as in the TV show, and how love did conquer all. Finger cross, mereka nggak cerai lagi! :)

a letter from the writer of 'Rumah'
Dengan ini saya menyatakan bahwa Cerpen berjudul “Rumah” yang dimuat di Majalah Femina edisi F51/2011 edar : 29 Desember 2011 adalah benar karya yang sangat mirip dengan cerita pada novel Divortiare karya Ika Natassa, terbitan Gramedia Pustaka Utama (Juni 2008) khususnya di halaman 145 - 152.
Berdasarkan pembicaraan saya dengan Saudari Asteria Elanda (Redaktur Pelaksana Feature...

When I was writing Divortiare, I sent drafts page by page to my friend Inga (who happens to be my best friend’s wife) and we would discuss the scene as if they’re real. One day, as I was working towards the ending of the book, she sent me this email.
Buat Alex:
Kayaknya urusan hati ataupun apalah antara kamu dengan Beno belum tuntas. Masih banyak unfinished business-nya. Mungkin...

Update
jhnmyr:
Hey all…
I wanted to give you an update on the granuloma just above my vocal cord. I had surgery this afternoon to remove it and am now on complete vocal rest for a month or more. It’s been a very long process in waiting to see if time was an alternative to surgery, but even given two weeks’ voice rest (along with many other approaches), there was no change for the better.
I should be...

jhnmyr:
I wanted to share with you a memory of my friend Steve Jobs, a memory that in the days since his passing has come to represent how great of a guy he was, and how good he was to me.
I first met Steve in 2003, over the phone, when I cold-called him to tell him I was a devout fan of all things Apple and would love to be involved in whatever way I could with the company. I remember the call...

Get well soon, John. I’m sure you can get through this.
jhnmyr:
Hi everyone,
After several months of going week to week monitoring and hoping to correct the condition, I am forced to cancel my upcoming singing engagements due to something next to my vocal cords called a granuloma.
I’m bummed to have to bow out of both the iheartradio Music Festival in Las Vegas and an appearance with...

five things
During the last three years, these are the five things I have experienced that will always leave a mark in my head one way or the other:
1. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, a feature film written by Charlie Kaufman, directed by Michael Gondry
2. This is Water, a book written by David Foster Wallace
3. Norwegian Wood, a book written by Haruki Murakami
4. Edge of Desire, a song written by...
