Tetap Semangat!

Kita ini terbuat dari sekarung kata-kata

- gumam Ayra, pada pukul 20.11 –

Dari sekian list rutinitas yang harus saya lakukan di tempat kerja, ada satu yang selalu saya sisakan untuk dikerjakan menjelang jam pulang: input content untuk service SMS motivation. Kenapa selalu saya tunda-tunda? Bukan karena males, bukan itu (meskipun memang saya agak-agak sedikit sepertinya demikian begitu, hihihi...). Well, seperti ketika makan mie baso, kebanyakan penggemar mie baso lebih suka memakan mienya terlebih dulu kan? Baru basonya belakangan. Yah, save the best for last lah ceritanya, dimakan terakhir biar rasa basonya lebih lama melekat di lidah, padahal sih nggak sampai semenit sudah hancur digulung-gulung asam lambung, hahaha... Anyway, malam ini saya ingin berbagi semangkuk baso bersama Anda. Semoga rasa lezatnya tak cepat hilang. Bon appetite!
