Berbelanja online di betterworldbooks

Yaiiiiiiy.............my babybook has arrived!!!!

Oke fellas, sekarang saya bakal cerita soal pengalaman berbelanja buku online saya yang pertama.

Untuk kamu yang suka baca literatur berbahasa asing, khususnya bahasa inggris sebenarnya banyak sekali toko buku yang tersebar di Indonesia, mulai dari Periplus, kinokuniya, aksara, dll. Tapi yaaa untuk harga, toko buku tersebut bisa dibilang mahaaal, dan sangat tidak bersahabat untuk kantong mahasiswa. Jadilah saya browsing di dunia maya dan mencari toko buku online yang menawarkan harga yang miring.

Salah satu toko buku online yang paling populer bagi para penduduk goodreads adalah Book Depository. Dan setelah saya cek, ternyata memang sedikit lebih murah dan ditambah free shipping. Namun, karena buku yang saya cari waktu itu masih dijual lumayan mahal jadilah saya mencari toko buku online yang lain.

Poem for Anosmic

Im not christian anyway and im not celebrate christmas,
but when i read this poem it warmed my heart, i knew there's people out there have the same affliction like me,
Because yes, I've got ANOSMIA (read about my explanation about anosmia here)
This was posted to the FB anosmia group by Ken Houston of Edinburgh. Thought some here might like it.

JINGLE BALLS

(Or an anosmic’s ode to the festive season)

Christmas is coming, goose getting fat;

But the poor old anosmic wants none of that;

As everyone else talks food and drink;

He looks for a hole in which to sink.

Roast beef or turkey with cranberry sauce;

Only accentuate the sense of loss;

As for his favourite, Christmas pud;

He’s forgotten why once it tasted so good.

Rather than Christmas he prefers New Year;

When going on the piss brings some cheer;

Of course he can taste neither whisky nor gin;

But at least these help lift the despair he’s in.

Now he’s writing his letter to Santa;

Hope against hope there’s one wish he’ll grant ya;

But he seeks not an iPad nor designer clothes;

All he wants for Christmas is a brand new nose.

And i found this video, titled “Smelling Keeps You Happy,”

to all fellow anosmics, here’s hoping for a more tasteful New Year!
