Seperti ...

Nada pilu di tengah amukan badai salju di luar sana ... Salju yang meleleh, dingin menusuk tulang ... Air yang menggenang, perlahan membeku dan licin ... Hanyut di tengah musim dingin yang tak berujung ... Bermimpi terbangun di cerahnya musim semi ...

Pittsburghers

Belajar memasak ala Amerika :p

# Masak apa Mit hari ini? * Terong balado sama nggoreng teri. # Lhaaa ... katanya hidup di Amerika ???? Setiap kali chating sama teman dan ngomongin soal makanan, sering ujung-ujungnya di situ.

Royersford is just a typical American suburb near the highway, with friendly neighborhood, spacious environment, and almost no public transport. This town is located north-west of Philadelphia, about fifty minu...
