Why Wayang Rocks!!!


Why Wayang Rawkz (ten reasons why wayang is COOL!)



1. You can learn how to shoot an arrow without having to get a real hands-on experience (and get shot while doing it)




2. The most romantic love stories are told in the most dramatic way possible, you can never know when you need a packetof Kleenex to shed your tears.



3. Memorizing the name of the characters doesn't turn out too bad....apparently.Provided you have been wishing to score well in your History exams (which is only half-true).



4. You will have many ideas for your future babies'names :P



5. If the idea of wearing kemben never crosses your mind, try to read some of the stories.Girls can still fight wearing the (in)famous kemben!



6. Poligamy is never a problem in wayang. Get as many as you wish. At your own risk.



7. Sometimes fighting over a rare wayang book with some people older than your grandmother is worth the time.



8. Persuading your father to accompany you watching the live show in Gedung Kesenian Jakarta turns out to be a good sport activity.



9. Same goes to calling Godforsaken publishing companies somewhere out there to find any Javanese books (that you can't even read) because they are not available in Jakarta.



10. It's the only situation where human, monkeys, giants, and whatnot can actually live together peacefully. (Even J.K. Rowling can't do this!!)

Eh wayang kalo dibikin komik, keren banget kali yah *slurph*. Banyak cowo ganteng, perang, bunuh2an, berdarah2... Ohh... Hell calls me.. Those fear, those blood, hold ephemeral beauty, it is so heavenly *grins grins*

*abis ngejama' count cain, angel sanctuary dan nonton konser laruku pada saat yg bersamaan*

XD XD

Wah, komik doang kurang seru....
FYI nih ye.... ane pernah baca beberapa halaman di "Astha Dasa Parwa" (18 Parwa), Buku asli-nya Mahabharata.

Hmm... sumpeh deh bagus banget, bahasanya juga.... Kalo anda seneng literature, ga kalah dah cerita wayang ama cerita Frankenstein

Iya Bhro, aku pengen banget baca aslinya, tapi itu dalam bahasa Kawi yah? Nggak ngerti nih...Tapi yang bahasa Indonesia juga udah bagus banget Bhro, emang the greatest work sepanjang literary history :).
