I browsed to my friend's friendster account and I found this lovely comment.
Dream what you want to dream;
go where you want to go;
be what you want to be,
because you have only one life
and one chance to do all the things
you want to do.
May you have enough happiness to make you sweet,
enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human, and
enough hope to make you happy.
The happiest of people don't necessarily
have the best of everything;
they just make the most of
everything that comes along their way.
The brightest future will always
be based on a forgotten past;
you can't go forward in life until
you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
When you were born, you were crying
and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end,
you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
Lovely Comment !!!
Long Road to Heaven
My first contact to the net was 7 years ago when my old pal from junior high school made my first email account. The location took place at one of internet station in the campus library. Mainly I used the internet for sending and replying email.
One day I went to internet rental at the campus. I browsed to msn chat. That was my first contact to chatting world. I went online more often since then. I began going online from my house using the dial up connection. I went online for hours. In the end it effected the monthly telephone bill. Mom was upset for it. I was wondering how I could have internet connection at home without adding any rupiah to the bill.
Time flew. I kept online from internet cafe and sometimes via dial up at home if it was urgent. Then a year ago my dad decided to subscribe to Speedy. Yippie!! Finally I could online at home although it was limited access. Yuck!! Three months later my dad unsubscribe the provider because he seldom use it.
I kept wondering why was it so hard to go online from home. I kept dreaming having internet at my room in Jakarta. Then one day a friend, living in the same boarding house, told me that she was going to subscribe to speedy unlimited. In addition she was looking for friends to share the monthly payment. That was dream come true!! I've been longing for this moment. Off course I'd love to share the subscribe and the payment.
Finally after 7 years waiting I am able to go online from my own room. I have unlimited access plus affordable monthly cost. What a long road to heaven.
Fucking Singing Beggar
I met this singging beggar on my way to the office when I took bus number 11 from Slipi Jaya. This boy sang with an instrument which was familiarly called "ecek-ecek" in indonesian. It is an empty capped bottle or jar filled with sand. I was looking out through the window. Therefore I didn't pay attention to his song neither did others passengers. Minutes passed. All was quite. Then the beggar bumped on me. I wouldn't had noticed him if he didn't touched my arm. He raised his hand with his pityful face in front of my face. I said nothing but my head gave body language which said "No". I headed my face to the window again. He touched me again with his raising hand and with mercy expression. This time I said verbally "No". The next second he cursed me saying "curek". I guessed the word was local language for cursing someone. I paid no attention to him by looking at the window. Seconds passed. No sounds. The beggar boy touched my arm again and still with his ugly faking mercy and pity face expression. My temper was up. I yelled at him asking what he wanted. Why he kept irritating me. I cursed back at him. I loudly hurled my local dialect to curse him, "Ojo jancokan kon yo!". All passengers in the bus looked at our point. Few minutes ahead the bus stopped at the my stopping destination station. I jumped off of the bus and walked ahead to the office.
Birthday Surprise
I never think a birthday is a special day. I sometimes forget what date I was born. It takes some seconds to recall what my date is when someone is asking me. One day before the "B" day I did something as every other day. I woke up. I went to bathroom. I did activity as usual. I slept at night. That night I was not expecting something.
At 12 am two girls walked in to my room. They could do it because I never lock the door. I sleep with the door open. They were Henny and Ivy. The boarding house mates. In the dark they brought roll tart cake with 6 candles on it. I saw them with sleepy eyes. I woke up and I sat on the bed. I blew those candles with one blow after making wish. Henny turned my room light on. Henny and Ivy prayed for me. The two prayed beautiful ones. I was gratefull. Thaks a lot!!
After praying I cut the cake for the 3 of us. After that the girls said good night to me and they went back to their rooms. I went back to sleep again.
Little Kitty
On the way back from the office I see little kitty on the dark pedestrian. I think kitty is 1 one month old. The kitty just learned to walk and still dependents on the mother. I can't clearly examine what the kitty sex is because the street lite is too dime to lighten the spot that I want. I guess it is a kitty girl. I am touched by compassion seeing her. I always do every time seeing an abandoned cat.
I am thinking what I will do. What I can do for the cat. Keeping the cat at home is crossing my mind. She is fragile and dependent. I can't leave her alone. Doubt also crosses my mind. I am doubt that I can't take care of her well. I don't have enough space for pet at boarding house. Not all of my neighbours love cats. I bet Devy is the one.
I put the kitty on my front pocket of my bag. I put her slowly. I decide to released her in the small path near my boarding house. I think it is the best option. The path is rare of big vehicles. only motorbike crisscross the path once a while. There is also a lot off food in the garbage cans. Other wild cats around the path do eat from them. They are growing well.
I am walking on the path heading to boarding house. It's rainy night. I release kitty in the middle on the road. Kitty is meowing. She is heading to the opposite of me. I hear nothing but the the kitty mew while heading to my direction. I wish you survive the night and the night the after.
Next night I am trying to look after her. I find her nowhere. Perhaps she dies but i do hope someone has already took after her.
