#tour of the gila

[womensworldtour]

We love some great bike racing outside the Women's World Tour calendar, and this week's 2.2 Tour of the Gila offers some beautiful views through New Mexico, USA.

Stage 1 saw Lauren Stephens (Cynisca Cycling) win at the top of Mogollon, ahead of Nadia Gontova (DNA Cycling), who recently won the Redlands Bicycle Classic.

Fic! A zoo will soon be opening a handful of new exhibits...

~~

Rolling his shoulders, Ross straightened his back and took a steadying breath as they waited for the signal. It wasn’t that he didn’t like giving interviews, he wouldn’t have his job if that wasn’t something he could do with pleasure, but damned if big changes like this last one didn’t make him nervous. There had been mostly positive responses from the public, but he couldn’t help but be firmly aware that this was something new and untested from an accredited establishment, and this interview meant there was only so much time before everything was put out for all comers to see. In time to words he couldn’t hear, he watched the man behind the camera- Cian, liked ocelots, got to pet one when they still had one as an ambassador when he was a kid- silently count down.

“Everything’s great here, Trina,” the newscaster- Keshawn, had a cockatiel at home, swore up, down, and sideways the best animal was the gila monster- crowed as soon as the count was done, flashing a massive grin. Ross didn’t even try to match it, contagious though it was. “Hi folks, it’s Keshawn Marshall here live at the Rosewood Grand Zoo to talk with Affairs Director Ross Martinez about the new area everybody is talking about. How’s it going, Ross, is everybody excited?”

“It’s great, Keshawn,” Ross said with a smile, slipping properly into interview mode, “we’re really looking forward to the opening of our new Galaxy of Life area this weekend.” They’d been planning it before they even had the space available. If nothing else it would nice to be able to call it all done and public. “We’re certain visitors will find the animals as delightful as we do, some of them are real characters.” Keshawn laughed, honest and real.

“Seeing the new friend you’ve got just over there, I don’t doubt it,” he said, glancing over Ross’s shoulder, “but I get the feeling we’ll be meeting him in a minute.”

“He’s looking forward to it.” He wasn’t sure that he was, but he trusted that if that wasn’t the case he’d have gotten word and they’d have adjusted the setting to showcase another animal.

“Until then, Ross, why don’t you tell us a little bit about this new showcase?”

“Gladly.” Ross couldn’t help smiling wider, shoe scuffing against the ground so he could focus. “Our new Galaxy of Life area has been built to showcase a collection of animals from various other planets with the hope of improving education about and empathy with our galactic neighbors through our shared love of the natural world. We also will be presenting information on conservation groups and projects throughout the galaxy, and how we all work and learn together to improve how we each take care of our planets, and help to take care of each other’s.” Somehow that had hit the worldwide conservation community like the greatest wrecking ball, the realization that not only did the entire galaxy have groups dedicated to these causes, but that so many were willing to work together across species lines. Were willing to help and accept help from Earth in turn.

He still got warm and fuzzy when he thought about it.

“That sounds amazing,” Keshawn said, “an entire galactic community coming together in hopes of preserving all the unique life there must be out there.”

“And one Earth’s conservationists are happy to be a part of. In fact, visitors will be able to see an endangered alien species we’ve already agreed keep a small breeding colony of, while learning more about conservation and conservation success stories across the Milky Way in our Cave of Wonder.” Ross had known that one would get a laugh, and wasn’t disappointed.

“You couldn’t help yourselves, could you?”

“Nope. The staffs’ kids picked it out.” They’d given an early tour to all the families, and had the children vote from a list of options. ‘Rainbowrama’ had come second place, and he was kind of sad about it. Leaning back on his heel, Keshawn just barely tilted his head to one side.

“Just how many animals can guests expect to see when they come through?”

“We have thirty-eight animals across seven species from seven planets,” Ross recited off the top of his head. “Including two species from as far off as the Osmosian and Erinaen Empires-” And hadn’t that been a shocker, when Secretary Levin had gotten wind of their plans and put them in touch with people working with those far-flung planets. “-but personally, I think the biggest attractions will be the ones from our nearest neighbors, Hasiel and Kinet.”

“And is one of those where our new friend comes from?” There was the cue.

“Yes, it is,” he said, stepping aside so that is coworker could get comfortably in front of the camera with her charge, “as Poltiff can tell you.”

“This,” she immediately started off, relatively new to her position working with their animal ambassadors but already taking to it like a duck to water, “is Spot, he’s a renkol from our nearest inhabited neighbor, Kinet.” And he was taking to the camera as well as anyone could hope, or at least Ross hoped he was. It was hard to tell, really. Stacy had described them as ‘what would happen if you told someone to draw a falcon given a few key traits and a picture of a dragonfly as an example of an Earth aerial predator’. They were easily among the strangest creatures in their collection now, and Keshawn and Cian stared appropriately.

“He’s beautiful,” Keshawn said with awe, throwing glances at Cian like he thought he might be missing this- he was not. “I thought zoos liked to give their animals names from their homeland though?”

“We do prefer that,” Poltiff said, “and all of the animals in the Galaxy of Life area came to us named appropriately, but unfortunately there’s some names that only a handful of members of staff can pronounce due to biological differences. In those cases we either give the animal a nickname or, in this case, use the translation into English.” Somehow, the news crew managed to perk up further, finally getting a grin out of Ross. Spot, meanwhile, calmly eyed them from his perch on Poltiff’s arm.

“So even in the depths of space, people are naming animals things like ‘spot’,” Keshawn asked with a joyful laugh in his voice, and Poltiff grinned back at him.

“It turns out people are people wherever you go,” she said. “Spot here is in training to join our team of animal ambassadors. He’s not ready for the job just yet, but in his downtime he’ll be on display with our other three renkol, so visitors will still have a chance to see him when they come to the zoo.”

“My kids are going to flip.” Shaking his head and visibly resisting the urge to ask if he could pet him- it showed clear as day in the flexing of his hand- Keshawn took a quarter step back. “When can I bring them over?”

“Everything will be made available to the public when the zoo opens Friday morning,” Ross said, cutting back in as Poltiff stepped back, cooing at Spot as she turned to take him back inside. The camera followed the pair of them rather than focusing on himself and Keshawn. “From which point we have every intention to keep it open for regular zoo hours indefinitely. Everyone will have plenty of time to come out and see what the Milky Way has to offer.”

“Well, you can expect me to be the first person in the door, and the last one out of it,” Keshawn said, subtly waving to Cian that they were ending the segment. He came to the realization with a jolt, driving Ross to laughter as he spun back around to focus on Keshawn as he turned to the camera. “There you have it- Ross, Poltiff, Spot, and everyone else here at the Rosewood Grand Zoo has been working hard, and we here at Heartwood News are looking forward to getting a good look at just what they have to teach us. Isn’t that right, Trina?” The air hung empty after those words for the seconds it took for the feed to switch back over, a transfer marked with a thumbs-up from Cian. Ross and Keshawn both dropped the tension of being on air immediately.

“Hey,” Cian asked, fiddling with the camera and not quite meeting Ross’s eyes, “I know we probably can’t pet those things-”

“Renkol.”

“Yeah! Renkol! I know we probably can’t touch them, but, you know I’d love to get a shot of a feeding or something. You know, a snippet to go before commercials.” Still smiling, Ross nodded, heart warming at the way they both rose just slightly on the balls of their feet.

“Lucky you, it’s just another hour before their scheduled feeding,” he said, mentally going through the routes around the new area, “if you’ve got the time to kill, I can give you a sneak peak at their enclosure while we wait. It’s actually quite the show.” And having them there, with a camera, would be a good early test for if they could advertise feedings for public viewing. The pair grinned back at him, nodding like they were testing the attachment between head and neck.

“We can make time-”

Bogor

Pada awal tahun 2024, salah satu doaku terkabul. Yaitu aku ingin bekerja di luar kota. Kesempatan ini datang secara terduga, meski tanpa perencanaan mendalam sebelumnya. Saat aku berkunjung ke rumah ini menjelang akhir Januari lalu, aku merasa familiar padahal belum pernah mampir sebelumnya. Apakah ini yang dinamakan jodoh? Atau perasaan familiar ini hanya buat-buatan kepalaku saja, tidak ada yang tahu. Dugaanku terwujud pada sore hari yang cerah; seseorang dari lembaga ini menawariku pekerjaan. 

Beberapa minggu kemudian aku naik bus ke kota ini. Bus berangkat pukul 14.00 WIB dan tiba di Bogor pukul 05.35 WIB. Perjalanan panjang. Niatnya hanya ingin ke Bogor ternyata malah sekalian tour de Jateng-Jabar. Satu temanku bahkan bilang, “Gila, tua di jalan kamu.” Xixi.

Aku turun di terminal saat matahari belum terlalu tinggi dan langit masih biru gelap. Setelah menelpon seseorang untuk mengabarkan aku sampai dengan utuh, aku pesan taksi online. Selesai dengan urusan beres-beres, aku tidur sampai siang. Lalu aku menghabiskan waktu dengan membaca buku “Mengorganisir Rakyat” karya Roem Topatimasang dan penulis lainnya. Sorenya aku dan beberapa kawan jalan kaki ke kafe terdekat. Kami mengobrol sambil menikmati penampilan musik dari band kafe. Hari ini ditutup dengan kopi liong, telur dada goreng, sambal terasi dan nasi hangat.

Bogor mendung sejak pagi dan berkali-kali hujan.

Last season, Small came in 44th place in the CX Male Senior 18-22 division, and largely floundered while competing as a cyclist in men’s competitions." And within less than a year as a woman he was allowed to compete against women .

By Shay Woulahan December 11, 2023

A trans-identified male cyclist has won the Women’s Singlespeed national title at the 2023 USA Cycling Cyclocross National Championships, outraging women’s rights advocates. Kylie Small, formerly known as Kyle Small, had been competing in men’s races earlier this year.

Though Small has begun participating in women’s events, he was competing in the male division at USA Cycling competitions under his birth name as recently as April. Last season, Small came in 44th place in the CX Male Senior 18-22 division, and largely floundered while competing as a cyclist in men’s competitions.

But on December 8, Small competed as a “woman” at the USA Cyclocross National Championships in Louisville, Kentucky, taking gold in the Women’s Single Speed division with a time of 38 minutes and 19 seconds.

The fastest female in the race was Jennifer Malik, who was awarded second place. The results of the race led the International Council on Women’s Sports (ICONS) to condemn USA Cycling for continuing to allow males to self-identify into the women’s category.

After the championship, Small was interviewed on his success in women’s cycling by Evie Edwards, a representative from ICONS.

Smalls made no mention of his sex, instead crediting his win to “pushing gaps” and “clean dismounts.” During the interview, Small stated that the idea to compete in the women’s single speed competition came from one of his coaches who persuaded him to join the competition.

This is not the first time a male has taken first place in a women’s cycling championship in recent months.

Just weeks ago, two trans-identified males dominated a women’s category at the Illinois State Cyclocross Championships, topping the podium in the Women’s Single Speed category and taking home medals set aside for female racers. Tessa Johnson and Evelyn Williamson placed first and second, respectively, in the competition, leaving space for only one biological woman – Kristin Chalmers – on the podium.

Johnson also seized the gold in both the Women’s Single Speed and Category 1/2 races at the Chicago CycloCross Cup in October, with the latter also coming with $150 in prize money.

In June, trans-identified male Austin Killips took first place in the women’s category of a North Carolina cycling tour known as The Belgian Waffle Ride, adding to his expansive list of victories against female cyclists. Killips also placed first in the 2022 Tour of the Gila, an internationally-recognized elite cycling competition. Notably, the 2022 Tour was the first in the competition’s history where the prize money for both the male and female categories was equal. But following Killips’ win, two biological males walked away with the prize pots.

But the issue of males dominating women’s cycling competitions is not isolated to the United States.

Emily Bridges and Lilly Chant, two trans-identified males, took the first and second place spots, respectively, at the ThunderCrit race at the Herne Hill Velodrome in London in June of 2022. Jo Smith was the only female to step onto the winner’s podium, and was seen standing at third place with her child in a photo that began to circulate on social media after the race had finished.

In March of this year, after British cycling announced their plans to ban males from female cycling competitions, Bridges responded in a statement posted on his social media, calling the move a “violent act” and claiming British Cycling was furthering trans “genocide.”

USA Cycling also recently announced an update to their policy regarding trans-identified male athletes competing in women’s competitions.

Announced in June, the update will come into effect on January 1 of 2024. In a statement, the sporting body said that “trans athletes” will be divided into two categories; category A and category B. Category A cyclists will be required to reduce their testosterone below 2.5 nmol/L for at least two years and provide medical evidence of this at least 3 months before a competition. Category B cyclists will only need to complete a gender self identification form to move from the male competitions to the female competitions. These standards only apply when competing domestically.

Commenting on the policy update, USA Cycling’s CEO said: “The revision of our Transgender Participation Policy was a complex process guided by several factors. Foremost was the direction of our Board of Directors, who asked us to prioritize the balance between fairness and inclusion.”

“Our work encompassed a study of the UCI’s most recent review of the latest scientific literature, an assessment of the U.S. legal environment and similar policies from other sports organizations, and outreach to our athletes, club and team managers, and event organizers. As U.S. law and scientific findings evolve, we will use this as an opportunity to do further review and revisions of this policy as needed.”

Perjalananan Gila 2023 (part 3)

The Dreamland

Finallyyy Belitong!!

Ternyata buanyak banget yaa yang mau nyebraang dari Bangka ke Belitong. Kebanyakan mereka adalah ASN yang habis dinas pelatihan di Bangka. Bahkan, ku sempat nguping di bandara (wkwk), ada mahasiswa asal Belitong yang bolak-balik Bangka setiap Jumat untuk kuliah di Bangka. Karena setelah kulihat-lihatpun, infrastruktur Bangka lebih maju dan sudah banyak kampus juga disana.

Sebelum terbang, aku dapat info dari rental motor/mobil semalam, kalau tak ada driver yang mau kalau naik motor ke daerah sana. Alhasil, dengan segala pertimbangan, ku sewa mobil dan drivernya. Memang sebetulnya agak gadi-ngadi kalau naik motor ke Belitong Timor, mengingat jalanannya masih banyak hutan apalagi ke daerah Replika Sekolah Laskar Pelangi (RSLP), 45-60 menit sendiri dari bandara. 

Di bandara, ada semacam tour guide yang bisa kita tanyakan terkait objek wisata yang ada di sana. Oks, dengan modal SKSD langsung tanya rute perjalanan hari itu. Akhirnya, menemukan ruteku, yakni bandara - RSLP (Manggar) - Museum Kata - Pantai Tanjong Tinggi (tempat syuting Laskar Pelangi) - Homestay. Selanjutnya, bertemu driver. Tak sulit menemukan driverku, ku manggilnya ‘Bang Dika’. Abangnya orang Belitong asli. Tipikal yang kalau ditanya baru jawab, okesip. Karena tau aku travel sendiri, baik juga lho abang ini mau direpotin ambil fotoku selama di objek wisata. wkwk. Makasih, Bang!

Btw karena hanya bawa 1 koper ukuran small dan 1 ransel, jadi paslah tak usah ke homestay dulu. Jadi, aku bawa semua barang di mobil. Perjalanan menuju Manggar kira-kira 1 jam. Di jalan, cuacanya panas-mendung-panas. “Tau rasa ko Hilma kalau maksa naik motor gimana jadinya tadi :/ “, batinku. Tak lupa ku memesan homestay dekat bandara dalam perjalanan ini.

Setelah sampai di RSLP, ku membayar tiket masuk seharga 10.000/orang. Gak nyangka ya Allah, bisa kesini.. secepat ini :’) Bangunan sekolah yang hanya kubisa lihat di layar sekarang aku bisa masuki dan duduk-duduk di dalamnya. Ke ruangan kepsek pak Harfan, ke pohon tempat manjat Mahar, lihat kayu penyangga sekolah, papan sekolah bertulisan SD Muhammadiyah Gantong.. Fabiayyi alaa irabbikuma tukadzziban..

Lama ku duduk di dalam kelas, hawanya panas, namun banyak semilir angin. Kebetulan hanya aku dan 1-2 pengunjung disana. Jadi, terasa lebih leluasa memerhatikan sekolah dan sekitarnya.

Nun jauh disana, grup chat asramaku agak heboh. Karena awalnya yang tahu aksi gilaku ini ya cuma Khonsa. Tiba-tiba ini anak udah nyebrang ke Belitong! Ada yang request video-call di sekolah, tapi akhirnya nyambungnya ke Khonsa wkw. Kuajak kelilling sekolah dan nostalgia scene film LP..

Setelah puas menghabiskan waktu di sana, aku beranjak ke destinasi berikutnya. Tapi, di sebrang replika, ternyata ada Rumah Keong Belitong. Okelah, gaskeun aja! 

Rumah Keong ini semacam tempat wisata yang sedang direnovasi, tapi masih bisa dimasuki dengan membayar tiket 5.000/orang. Duduk-duduk dan mencoba selfie. Seru dan panazzz. Disini aku baru sadar, kalau bareng keluarga atau teman-teman.. pasti akan lebih seru. Lebih tepatnya akan ada yang motoin haha.

Kami lanjutkan perjalanan ke Museum Kata, Museum Literasi Pertama di Indonesia, 15-20 menit dari RSLP. Karena sampai sana pas zuhur, jadi solat dulu di mushola dekat sana. Alhamdulillah, ramai mushola tu. Setelah solat, kumasuk museumnya. Feeling soooo excited semenjak dari luar museum. Catnya warna warni dan banyak bertuliskan kata-kata indah khas Andrea Hirata. Menggambarkan seni yang natural.. tiketnya seharga 50.000/orang, tetapi sudah termasuk guidebook tentang LP.

Aku suka banget dalamnya. Ada foto scene film LP, Sang Pemimpi, dsb. Feels like home. Buku-buku yang berjajar, tv-tv kuno yang disususun, suara drama musical LP, bangku-bangku kayu yang menambah kesan natural, dan lainnya.

Bagian tengah, ada kafe kopi yang saat itu sedang tutup. Kafe kopi tradisional yang masih menggunakan bara api. Di sebrang bangunan utama, ada hall yang banyak bertuliskan kalimat-kalimat dalam karya Andrea. 

Bagian belakang, aku juga suka. Ada semacam aula baca buku. Banyak foto scene film, spanduk launching buku baru beliau, dsb. Kalau saja tak diburu waktu melancong dalam sehari, aku mau lebih lama lagi duduk menyimak karya beliau di aula itu.

Selanjutnya, aku melanjutkan perjananan ke pantai. Namun, di tengah jalan, driver menghentikan mobilnya...

[sab-cat]

The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) has announced that it is ending the participation of transgender athletes in female events, quoting scientific research which it says suggests that there are advantages which may persist post-transition. “From now on, female transgender athletes who have transitioned after (male) puberty will be prohibited from participating in women’s events on the UCI International Calendar – in all categories – in the various disciplines,” the governing body said in a statement on Friday. In May of this year the UCI had said that it would make a final decision at its annual congress in August but has now done so several weeks ahead of that date. It explained on Friday why it has reached its decision....

Previously UCI rules enabled trans women to compete in women’s events once their testosterone levels had been below 2.5 nanomoles per liter for at least two full years....

It is not clear what provisions could exist for transgender athletes in future competition, other than in international Masters events. The UCI said that these events would see the men’s category renamed men/open, and that those athletes who do not meet the conditions for participation in women’s events will be admitted without restriction.

So events are going to be divided into cis women (and trans women who got puberty blockers, I guess?) and everyone else? Well that's insulting on multiple levels.

Interesting how this comes on the heels of Austin Killips winning the Tour of the Gila, even when she met the testosterone level requirement.

She can't just be good.

'SKZ-REPLAY' Stray Kids mendapatkan ulasan baik dari media asing... "Tren global"

[Artikel ini di post pada tanggal 2022.12.23]

Stray Kids, grup yang sedang naik daun secara global, telah merilis album digital "SKZ-REPLAY".

Stray Kids telah merilis album digital mereka, 'SKZ-REPLAY', pada tanggal 21 Desember 2022 pukul 6 malam dan membalas penggemar yang mengirimkan dukungan yang antusias di tahun ini. "SKZ-REPLAY" adalah bagian dari janji "STEP OUT 2022" yang diunggah pada 1 Januari 2022. Delapan lagu solo baru, dimana semua member berpartisipasi langsung dalam penulisan dan pembuatannya, menjukkan individualitas dan memuat sumber suara resmi dari lagu ciptaan sendiri yang dirilis melalui konten mereka, 'SKZ-RECORD' dan 'SKZ-PLAYER'. Anda bisa menemukan spektrum musik yang lebih luas.

Pada pagi hari di tanggal 22 Desember 2022, 'SKZ-REPLAY' Stray Kids menduduki puncak chart album iTunes di 32 negara, termasuk Amerika Serikat, Australia dan Kanada.

Title track, 'FAM (Korean ver.)', ditulis dan dibuat oleh unit produksi, 3RACHA. Suara hip-hop dari bass line memikat telinga, dan 'Baby Bread (Bayi Roti)' I.N, 'Dandy Boy (Cowok Baik)' Seungmin, 'Happiness (Kebahagiaan)' Felix, 'All-rounder (Serba Bisa) Quokka' Han, 'Musang dengan pesona yang memukau' Hyunjin, dan perkenalan member 'Tampan' yang diekspresikan dengan modifikasi yang penuh kasih sayang, seperti Lee Know dengan "4D", dan Bang Chan dengan "Leader Kanguru," meningkatkan keseruan dalam mendengarkannya. 'Stray Kids 2nd World Tour "MANIAC" Seoul Special (UNVEIL 11)' diadakan di KSPO DOME (bekas Gymnastics Arena) di Seoul pada 17-18 September tahun ini (tur dunia kedua "MANIAC" Seoul Special (Unveil 11)) pada pagi hari tanggal 22, video musik yang dipenuhi dengan panasnya adegan encore menempati posisi pertama di YouTube music video yang sedang tren di seluruh dunia, membuktikan minat yang panas/besar.

Baru-baru ini, Billboard Amerika Serikat mengumumkan '25 Lagu K-Pop Terbaik 2022' dan menempatkan 'MANIAC', title song dari 'ODDINARY', di posisi ke-5. "ODDINARY" adalah album #1 pertama Stray Kids di 'Billboard 200'. Title song 'MANIAC' ditujukan untuk orang-orang yang menyembunyikan diri mereka yang sebenarnya, jadi mereka perlu membagikan diri mereka yang sebenarnya agar mereka tidak merasa seperti 'maniak'. Ini adalah pesan yang tepat di masa ini, dan SKZ menyanyikan metafora dan dorongan hingga beat/ketukan gila untuk menunjukkan bahwa "mengekspresikan diri itu bagus." NME Inggris menyebut 3racha sebagai tim produksi jenius dan memasukkan 'MANIAC' dalam peringkat '25 lagu K-pop terbaik tahun 2022'. MTV memilih 'Charmer', sebuah lagu dari 'ODDINARY', sebagai '22 B-Sides K-Pop Terbaik 2022', dan 'MANIAC', '79 Lagu K-Pop Terbaik 2022' oleh teenVOGUE, total ada tiga lagu yang naik, termasuk 'Charmer' dan title song 'CASE 143' dari 'MAXIDENT', yang menduduki peringkat pertama di 'Billboard 200' kedua.

Sementara itu, Stray Kids hadir di '2022 Asia Artist Awards di Jepang' dan memenangkan penghargaan Album of the Year untuk yang kedua kalinya dalam dua tahun secara berturut-turut. Pada '2022 MAMA Awards' mereka memenangkan tiga penghargaan.

Dia manusia pekerja keras, entah kenapa dimataku dia selalu kereen.. Iya betul, dia bapak2 yang ada di ceritaku sebelumnya, aku selalu suka menceritakannya lagi dan lagi walau dari awal. Hehe

Oke sudah,. Singkatnya pak gojek dan aku sudah sampai. Aku turun dan sampaikan terimakasih, dia datang dengan helm kuning nya, kita menuju ke St. Gubeng baru. Masih 08:45, masih ±1jam lagi kereta tiba. Beli roti dan air dulu, karna kita belum sempat sarapan. Print out ticket, checkin lalu kita duduk di bangku tunggu.. Cukup lama, cukup banyak yg kita bicarakan, ringan, tapi tidak berhenti.. Sesekali tersenyum saling menatap.. Speaker stasiun sudah berbunyi, katanya kereta eksekutif Arjuno express sudah tiba.. Kita berdiri berjalan menuju kereta. Gerbong 3, seat 13B-C .. Dapat tempat duduk paling ujung, tanpa pijakan kaki. Gimana lagi, hanya kursi ini yg tersisa berjajar, yg lain kursi 1 . Hehe

Mataku berat, sungguh kebangetan aku soal ngatuk, dimanapun aku bisa tidur. Haha. Tapi mungkin ini karna tidurku yg tidak nyenyak semalam. Kita bicara banyak sekali, serasa di bacakan dongeng. Dan yaaa begitulah aku tertidur. Tidak terasa kubuka mata tiba-tiba sampai di St. Lawang, 15 menit lagi kita sampai di tujuan, St. Malang. Dalam 2jam perjalanan, tanganku di genggam tak dilepas. Wah kurasa benar-benar jatuh cinta padaku bapak iniii. Tapi aku tidak menolak, duh gila. Haahhaah

Aku ngantuk. Ku lanjutkan besok ya.. Byee

Pada Selasa (30/7) dini hari, Giselle membagikan sederet foto random di akun Instagram pribadinya dengan caption, "3:46". Foto yang paling mencuri fokus terletak pada slide kelima karena menunjukkan tato sang idol.

Giselle tampak menyingkap bajunya dan menunjukkan tato berukuran sedang bergambar bunga di area perut atas. Belum diketahui apakah itu tato asli atau hanya sekedar temporer yang akan hilang dalam beberapa waktu. Namun, sang idol langsung menjadi trending pembahasan di X.

"Itu tato asli atau tato stiker ya? tapi aku terobsesi[sic!]," tulis seorang warganet. "Gila gua ikut shock, shock karna posisi nya di bawah situ manteb banget[sic!]," tambah yang lain. "Tunggu, apakah tatonya asli, atau permanen??[sic!]," sahut warganet lainnya.

"Bukankah itu tato stiker? Dia menipu kita terakhir kali. Aku tidak percaya kali ini[sic!]," imbuh lainnya. "BUSETT GISELLE LO KECE BGT DAH[sic!]," lanjut warganet lain. "Kita tidak pernah melihat perutnya DAN DIA MEMUTUSKAN UNTUK. MENJATUHKAN BOM?????????[sic!]," pungkas lainnya.

Di sisi lain, aespa belum lama ini comeback dengan full album perdana sejak debut. Dalam wawancara terbarunya, Giselle berkata, "Sepanjang aktivitas promosi, aku bisa merasakan kalau tidak cuma aku dan para member, tetapi juga semua orang di agensi bekerja keras bersama dengan satu pikiran," ujarnya.

"Semua orang termotivasi penuh dan mencapai hasil yang baik bersama-sama. Untuk tur dunia kedua kami, kami berencana untuk menjangkau lebih banyak penggemar tidak hanya melalui penampilan tetapi juga melalui berbagai acara," sambung sang idol.

Sementara itu, aespa belakangan ini disibukkan dengan tur konser "LIVE TOUR – SYNK: PARALLEL LINE". Mereka baru saja menyelesaikan konser di Asue Arena, Osaka pada 28 Juli lalu. Sayangnya, Karina berhalangan tampil karena kondisi kesehatannya sedang tidak baik.
