Bitterness

by Eko Prasetyo @ 6:18 PM Our tongue has specific areas for specific taste. Bitter tastes are tasted on the rearest area of our tongue, close to the throat. The reason why God decides to give us bitter senses nerve on the end of our tongue is His secret knowledge. But it is our nature as human to questions and to conclude things based on our knowledges and experiences of things. And the simplest of reasons -that comes from my own deduction- of why God put bitter senses on the rearest end of our tongue is so that we taste bitterness last.Imagine if you eat something that has a mix of sweet and bitter taste, some chocolates for example. If you taste the bitter taste first, due to the nature of human to despise bitter taste, you'll likely to spit the thing out, and you'll be unable to taste the delicacy of a chocolate (or any bitter-sweet mix). So it's a very blissful decision for us that God has design our tongues to be like so.It could also be some kind of a philosophical warning : sweet thing sometimes tasted first, and when they ends, bitterness comes. When things come to us in avalanche of sweetness, it is time for us to be aware of to prepare for the coming of bitterness. So when bitterness come, regrets don't come too much.And when bitterness is tasted, the way to purge it out tends to be painful. | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

USB LED Light - User's Indepth Review

by Eko Prasetyo @ 1:30 PM I have written about many wonderful things that has USB ports on them. And I have written that one of the cool things is the USB LED Light (or so I've called : USB Lighting Rod). It's a flexible, rather thin rod with segmented (very centipede like) outer metallic shell and a tubular end that is a LED light. One of it's pluses is its flexibity. You can twist it freely, allow you direct the LED end into any direction you want. It's also very easy to setup : just plug it into one powered USB ports, and the LED light shines. But it also has noticeable flaws : it's not bright enough, and it sometimes gives electrostatic shock due to it's metallic shell. In a totally dark room, It can only cast a rather dim white light that illuminates only half of a keyboard. You can still use as a simple reading light though, but not in a totally dark room, but maybe when the room's lighting is above your head and your own shadow is cast onto the book, reducing readability. I won't recommed buying any unless you can try it out first and see how bright the LED light is. Next up, The USB Fly-Fan! (But I have to buy it first though) | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Asthma

by Eko Prasetyo @ 8:38 AM I have an asthma in me. Well, having an illness like asthma is like having an AIDS : It shall be with you till death due you apart. But different to AIDS, Asthma is not getting worse everyday, but it will get worse in a particular day. And that particular day is just like 3 days ago, when stresses had been piling up and I slept at midnight. My body, weak by the days of lazying around for 9 months and battered by the merciless cold blown by the senseless air conditioner, finally arrived at a breaking point. And that breaking point is the exact time when Asthma in me rose. My left lung was suddenly filled by mucus. My breathing muscles had to work hard. My mind goes fogged. I  <b>hate</b> it when I had Asthma. Besides not being able to breath easily, it's just annoying to have a feeling of something thick and sticky plugging my lung. Pushing my every motoric muscles to try to purge the mucus only makes the breathing agony got worse. Not to mention the only thing that seems able to purge the thing was some autonomous, painful coughing that cam anytime it choose to come, even during my sleep. Breathing agony, annoying mucus, impolite obligatory coughing. I simply hate asthma. Bless people who invented mucolitic. | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Tyrant of Democrazy

by Eko Prasetyo @ 7:29 PM George W. Bush, only days after given his second "permit" by his "fellows in faith" to reign thus given allowance to crush pan-asia-ominous-oil-line-potential civilizations (Balkans-Afghanistan-Iraq-Iran) is signing out omens that he shall crush Iran. Iran's sin? Nuclear technology ownership. Why? 'Cause they are not "Friends" and most obviously, Iran has potential sites for Oil exploitation. Oil itself is enough reason for Oil Greed Bush and Contract Hungry Cheney. Take a look at North Korea. They are obviously threatening the world with nuclear, and America's reaction? Discussion. Take a look at Iraq. They have only "signs of Ownership of Weapon of Mass Destruction". America's reaction? Conquer and Uproot their culture. Why these different reactions? Money. As simple as that. No, I'm not a money hater. If I am, why do I put ads about becoming millionaire on the sidebar? My religion doesn't shun worldly profits, but where the money from and where it goes, that's where Islam plays definitive role. See the sidebar for more. Money? Okay, let's think. North Korea is close to China, a HUGE!!! market American yet to conquer. Putting their oppresive forces near them would be a jeopardy for USA's plan to dominate China's market. Not to mention that they are losing China to European Union. Iraq is the owner of second largest oil deposit in the world. So it's instinctive for the Greedy Texan to try to conquer it. Adding insult to injury is his choice of deputy : ex-chairman of some oil service contractor. you know what, God said jewish is the chosen. They are the most intelligent family on earth. But He also told us that a jewish believes that their intelligent is bigger than God. They've killed every Messengers of God that has come to them. Putting lies to cover things up and telling people to support them or be marked evil have been running on American's Way for ages, so they have been an expert in finding reasons to invade any nation. Now, things are looking hot for Iran. Here and hereare some starter. Here, Here are the typical days of people under America's tyranny. Here's an example how Americans economy is slave for greed. Lady Arabicide. | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Flood for Real.

by Eko Prasetyo @ 9:55 AM I live in a house which is located not far from a river. The river itself is a small one, only approximately 6 meters wide (around 18 feet). It is not a beautiful, crystal clear, fish dwelled, animal nesting river. It is a muddy, greenish brown, poison carrying river. I am lucky that I live far from the city center, where the river turns black, foamy, and smells of sulphur. I am glad that the vegetation that grows along the riverbed near my house is still somewhat flourished. But I'm not lucky enough to avoid having my backyard flooded when it's raining heavily for 2 days consecutively, like I've had yesterday. It's both an exciting and scary experience, watching water creeping forward, inched by inches, closer to my home. Exciting because it's a somewhat thrilling experience, a close encounter with a rare and dangerous kind.  And it's the danger that scared me. I'm scared to the flood mostly because indirect knowledge. Grim experiences felt by people who had had flood before, told by news or directly said to me. Having flood invades your home means addition of things useless and substraction of things useful. Well, mud is somehow useful for fertilizing unfertile ground, but when it sticks to the walls of your home, they won't be pretty walls. Not to mention significant unwanted addition of soft and disgusting thickness that gets piled up on your floor. And when the black-brown invader took over your home appliances, you know your living values have been unvoluntarily substracted. Not to mention you'll be lacking the means to clean up yourself and your home. But Thanks God, It's never been happened to my home. Hopefully the city government will do better than today to make sure that everyone's homes in the city are safe from the menacing invasion of the home splasher. | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

The Wonders of USB ports

by Eko Prasetyo @ 3:56 PM Have you ever wondered that with your computer you'll no longer need a conventional (attached to the AC electrical outlet) reading lights or small face-cooling fans ? Have you had a knowledge that many cellphones are able to be recharged and exchange data with computers at the same time? Or have you seen a scanner that doesn't need to be plugged into an AC power outlet and parallel ports? I have seen them, and you should see them too. They are wonderful fruits of technology that can be put into reality thanks to another fruit of technology : USB ports. Yes, people. Those simple, boxy looking ports that are holed into your PC (either on the backside, handside, or frontside of it) are simply wonderful items that once you comprehend their wonderfulness you'll be amazed that IT engineers haven't got ridden off other type of ports. Almost all peripherals can be plugged into the little ports : keyboards, mice, speakers, scanners, printers, multifunctions devices, even devices you thought won't be. Me, for instances, have a mouse that is plugged into a USB port. Although the producer supplies a USB to PS/2 adapter, I found it easier to plug the mouse to a USB port than to a PS/2 port. It's all because a USB port has a simple form :  a rectangular shape metallic hole divided in the middle, compared to many pins and holes that is PS/2 adapter. I also has a datacable for my Siemens K65 cellphone;  a Siemens DCA-510. It connects to a USB port and gives me the capability of exchanging data between my Siemens M65 and my PC. It also gives me the ability to recharge my cellphones because the datacable is able to request a 500 mA of current from the USB port, and the USB port is capable of supplying the necessary amount of current. Both data exchanging and data transferring can be done simultaneously. I also has a Creative MuVo Slim 256, a portable, flash-based MP3 player which has a 256 MB capacity. I am able to fill it by the way analogous to using the Siemens datacable : plug one end of a supplied cable into the USB port, and another end into my MuVo Slim, and my MuVo slim is charged. I am also capable of exchanging hundreds of MP3 files between the MuVo Slim and my PC with a transfer rate that is lightning fast, making the data traffic a breeze. Other eyebrowsing USB port device that I have is a LED lighting stick, which looks like a flexible metallic centipede (without the legs) with an end which is a USB port and another end which is a bright-white-light emitting LED. The thing is still shining even when the computer is shutdown, although you need to keep it connected to a live AC outlet. Add that LED lighting rod with a USB fan rod, which is similar to the lighting rod but with a  fan as it's end. I don't have this one, but I think I'll buy it because here in Indonesia it tends to get very hot when it's not raining, and I don't have an air conditioner at home. There's so much device invented to utilize USB ports. Besides those mentioned above, there is USB bluetooth adapters, USB infrared adapters, USB cards readers, USB ports hubs (powered, for those charging devices that you carry around, and non powered, to simply add numbers to the available USB ports on your PC), and of course every floppy disks haters favourite: USB Flash disks. USB flash disks are the perfect antidote for curing rage and anxiety caused by the use of the fragile, low-capacity, prone to defect, highly annoying floppy disks. It's capacity is hundreds times bigger than FD, it's physical size is as small as quarter of FD, and it doesn't need a reading/writing drive to function. Just plug it into a USB port, have the necessary drive installed, and you can access it's storage like you would a floppy, only faster, more spacious, and less noise. If it can be upgraded to have the speed of a IEEE1394 (firewire) port, USB port is the perfect, unitary solution for future peripherals. It may even replace display and audio ports. We shall see what IT engineers have in the future. For now, enjoy the wonderful port as much as you can. | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Cramped part II

by Eko Prasetyo @ 3:47 PM So I walk out of my home, into the broken asphalt covered street that is the road that connects my downhill village into the main road. I roam 50 meter, and then 20 meter of 45 degrees slope uphill, and then to another 300 meter of road, all in a 5 minutes speedy walk. The public transportation has no fix schedule, they come, stop to wait for passengers (an activity which is called "ngetem" here in Indonesia), and then go to stop again at will in other places. See why I have to speed up? Catching earliest bus is an advantage for public transportation dependant people here in Jakarta. Once inside the bus, finding an empty seat as fast as possible is a must, for these buses don't care if the people they carry are treated like sardines, cramped in a middle sized bus, using any space available to put even one feet on the bus floor. Luckily I live "upstream", so that I am lucky to be able to have a seat every morning. People who catch the bus "downstream" are often have to stand below the doorframes, risking losing parts of their body. After the bus arrive at the market, the busy and overcrowded hub of many people with many activities that took half of the street and pay no respect to the traffic light, I step down whenever the bus stop, wherever in the market that is. In less then 5 minutes, I'm on another bus en route to my office, lucky again that I'm taking it upstream, so that I am able to sit. But it's just the same with the first bus, people will soon eat up spaces. Cramped, body odour mixed with cheap perfume and ineffective deodorant, creating smells that is offensive to inexperienced nostrils. I'm lucky that my nostrils are already adapted to the smell. 30 minutes inside the overcrowded bus, I soon stand up and force my way into the bus door, trying to reach the money collector, telling him to stop the bus in front of the building where my office is. If I'm lucky, it'll stop in the right spot, if I'm extremely unlucky, it'll stop 100 meters further. The bus stopped, and in cramped fraction of a second I jump down. The bus took off a fraction of second later. An adaptation to the habit makes you somewhat an acrobat. 10 minutes later I'll be stepping into the building lobby, press the elevator "up" button, wait for the lift to come to take me up, walk out of the lift on my floor, greet the people tallying security, and finally sit down on my cubicle, turn on my PC, and write a blog. Cramped. But it's not over yet. | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Office Kills The Inspiration?

by Eko Prasetyo @ 1:57 PM After working for about a month for an oil company, I have to come to a realization that I have been having a lack of inspiration I used to have everyday during my unemployed days. I have became aware that seeing, reading, watching, and thinking about every interisting things that came to me during my unemployed days had brought in the philosophical inspirations. And have nothing else to do, I started to write down the flux of thoughts down. First in mailing lists, then in forums, and finally a day come when I started Blogging. Ah, the day of inciting flames in mailing lists. I had became a proud persons back then, able to heat up discussions and beat up every arguments that had came to defeat my thoughts. But I then cool off, my choice. It's better to heat up discussions slowly, so that more and more people are able to join the discussion willingly. Flaming up a mailing lists turned out to be an effective way to turn people off the mailing lists. The same is for forums. But I now I write everything down in this blog. A neutral ground. People are free to come as they choose, read as much as they want, and put comments the way they like it. I think the inspirations are coming back now. I hope not in high gear, cause I don't have as much as free time as I used to. Please keep coming to my blog. Hopefully the things that inspire me can inspire you too. | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 1 blogger comments | | |

Creative Nomad Muvo Slim 256 user 's indepth review

by Eko Prasetyo @ 4:16 AM Creative is one of the pioneer of PC level digital audio add-on cards manufacturer. And now it's one of the premier name in PC level audio gadgets : soundcards, speakers, headphones, external soundcards, and MP3 players. Some of its MP3 players are small, flash based players that come in many form factors, but are small enough to fit in anyone's pocket. And the term pocketable is downright true with Nomad Muvo Slim 256. As the name suggests, the thing is very slim. It has the length and width of standard namecards and still acceptable thin (about as thick as 5 cards stacked). This makes Muvo Slim the perfect fit for a pocket. And with it's classy leather case, you'll add more style to it's already elegance slim design. Since this is audio player we're talking about, let's now discuss about the audio quality that comes from it. The supplied earphones produce sounds that come neat and almost perfect. Audio ranges (treble, mid, and bass) are separated nicely. The sounds that come puts me in a good virtual concert hall. When use it while walking, it feels like having a concert that follows me with every steps I take. Of course, this audio quality depends on the quality of formats you choose to store your MP3's and WMA's files inside it's capacious 256 flash memory. But with 64 bits 44100 kHz audio quality, I still won't have much to complaint about. Talking about the flash memory, it's capable to act as USB flash disk. Plugging the supplied cable into a USB port and then plugging the mini-USB connector of my Muvo Slim into the mini-USB slot that's available on it's side able me to access the player as a USB flash disk. This capability is quite handy when my 512 mb flash disk is not enough to store files that I need to transport from any USB ports equipped PC to my home PC. If you're bored with your audio collection, you can switch to the built-in FM radio player with its auto presets capability. Just press the detect button, and you have dozens of stations to choose from. And if I am on a meeting and need to record it, I just have to free some megabytes and turn on the wav recording capability. The result sounds like a sound that comes from an old radio, but it's adequate, considering the things small size. So far, the thing looks like a perfect gadget to accompany your commuting, but there's one flaw that is very annoying. It's the volume control mechanisme. Instead of using a rocker, it's separated into two buttons, each to raise and lower the volume. And they are placed on the top side of the player, right where the leather case's flap's hinge are. I have to uncover the case everytime I need to change the volume level, which I've found to be very annoying. But the control mechanism itself is good and intuitive. You got shuffling options, equalizer options, FM player switching, and Audio recording switching. The blue LED lighted display is small, but it has enough space to display necessary informations. And having been using the thing for about 6 weeks, I can only say that this little gadget is perfect for my commuting life. I spend up 3 hours a day commuting, so this little guy battery capacity of almost 10 hours is very helpful. In the end, I can tell you that this little guy is a very good audio player. It produces good quality sounds with the supplied earphones, it has FM radio player, sounds recording capability, and it's size is very slim making it very pocketable. So, if you're a commuting person like me and not using your own car to and from your office, buy this thing. It'll ease that lonely trek from home to office and vice versa. Have a nice Muvo Experience!! | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Surprise!

by Eko Prasetyo @ 7:11 PM It is a fortunate things in live that I am able to use Opera 7.5 web browser. This powerful browser has integrated e-mail and newsfeed reader. After I learned about RSS that appears on many sites that provide news, I don't waste time : I started looking for the sites which I visit most and searched the RSS links. On some I found and click it, making Opera add it to my list of newsfeeds. And it is fortunate that by using this methode, I am able to read dozens of headlines everyday, from news sites to IT sites. And today I am fed a three striking news : Dinosaurs was eaten by mammals, Abubakar Ba'asyir was targeted for retrieval by CIA (told by a former US interpreter), and US has stopped search for Iraq's Weapon of Mass Destruction. Read them here, here, and here! Well now, Dinosaurs being eaten by mammals is one reason why they are extinct, aside from the unability to sustain their own weights in a sudden global climate changes. USA stopped to search for WMD is truly a news, since the main official reason why they and their chronies invade Iraq was to search for Weapon of Mass Destructions. I think so far they've found Weapons of Mass Destruction in forms of insurgents and rebels who had took thousands of victims, both from US and Iraqi forces. I think their obsession to own Iraq's oil deposits is taking toll in the form of their own soldiers and everyone who serve them. Small numbers of Iraqis have been able to put fear into the hearts of many soldiers, much like small mammals have done it to the gigantic dinasours. Other lies that they are trying to force people to believe is Ba'asyir's sins in many bombings. The trials that have been going to prosecute the man have slowly turned into a theatrical joke, with witnesses put to testify by prosecutors are downright liars or illogical thinkers who have no straight, fulfilling answers, and judges have shown that they are siding with the prosecutors. I wish europe had never started World Wars so that Uncle Satan's Army wouldn't this powerful. Here is a link that shows that USA has been raising Weapon of Mass Destruction in the form of A Nation | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Delayed

by Eko Prasetyo @ 5:33 PM Man, my first BlogMail was delayed for 2 days. So much for updated diary. Sigh. I know Blogger.com must have maybe about hundreds of thousands letters every day BlogMailing, but I think since they introduced BlogMail as a convenient option for people to blog from almost anywhere (even GPRS enabled GSM phone that has QWERTY keyboard, like Siemens SK65), they should have made a specialized cluster of e-mail servers to serve the blogmailed posts. That way they can keep the spirit of Blogging alive : Update your diary whenever you can, as soon as possible, with less than an hour delay. well, for now, I think I'll try BlogMailing for a month, to see how fast my BlogMail posting can be updated. If things haven't been well enough for a month (or maybe shorter), I'll cease blogmailposting. Please Blogger, pay attention to this! | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

BlogMail

by Eko Prasetyo @ 7:22 AM I'm posting this using Blogger's BlogMail facility. I Think this kind of powerful connectivity is the one that keeps Google growing (Google is the owner of Blogger.com). They have always something new and creative for people to chew delightly. (A cool search engine, a powerful blogsite, an advertising scheme that is ever growing, a desktop searchbar, and more!. Man, Google can be the next Microsoft if they have the ability to buy Apple. A blogger can use blogger dashboard, can transfer pictures from his PC right into his Blog using Hello BloggerBot, can post a blog without having to open the blogger dashboard using BlogThis facility, and can transfer his blog directly using e-mail! Now I can blog from my HTTP banned office PC and cellphone using e-mails! Hooray! Hip! Hip! Hoooray! | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Evolution

by Eko Prasetyo @ 1:58 PM People who has seen my blogsite before today could see changes. Before was just a blog with all the standards feature that are given by the blogprovider, now the blogsite has GoogleAd, small Blogexplosion referral banners, and a RSS newsfeed. Why the change? I've known Internet since my 2nd High School year, mostly for browsing. And I've grown since then, not in a big sense kind of growth, but slowly. After browsing comes e-mail, free e-mail servers that is. And then comes search engines. It's Instant web-sites creators appearance that changes the way I know Internet. I made some sites, I learn to search free site-servers, I learn to upload my sites, I learn to recheck them. In 2004, I met Opera 7.5 with it's useful e-mail application and Newsfeeds reader, and multimedia loading toggle. My Internet activity becomes more efficient, no longer I need to open web-based e-mails, news sites, or unnecessary images and flash animations. Revolution of my internet life was BlogSpot. I learn how to use it, and was satisfied. I can pour everything on my mind, every ideas, opinions, critics, suggestions, links, pictures, e.t.c without disturbing any bulletin board or forums. It's a neutral ground. And then comes economic needs and internet economics. Free things abound, just copy paste everythings and you're part of the new economics. So I tried Google AdSense, got confused at first but it then works. Not to long before I understand how to paste the codes into my blog templates. I don't know whether it will make money, but the potency is there. After that BlogExplosion came with it's promise of routing traffics into my blogsite. Then I thought : BlogExplosion x AdSense = Big Potency. So I copy the referral codes, and paste it into my blogsite. One last advertorial thing slapped into was NoBSZone referral banner. And finally, to give a slight expanding factor, I use newsfeed link provided by feedburner. The neutral ground is no longer neutral. It smells of money. I have to try the potencies. I'm evolving. Hopefully not into Path of Greed. | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Cramped part I

by Eko Prasetyo @ 6:32 PM Aah..the daily living of a commuting salaryman. Me, wake up at night only to sense the chillness of air and the almost zero dB ambient and to instinctly searching frantically for my cellphone , a Siemens M65, which run a digital clock screensaver. It reads 2.35 a.m. Time to get back to sleep. 4.30 a.m, the same Siemens M65 burst out with a Lone Rangers theme ringtone. 10 minutes earlier then atomic standard time, I wake up again. With eyes in pain, half motoric and half automatic, I search a power button on my AMD Athlon XP controlled, Elsa R960 Radeon 9600 powered, 512 MB DDR2700 Visipro augmented, 40 GB supported, sleek PC with Abit NF7 as it's base of operation and a Soundblaster Audigy 5.1 LE that compose tunes which I hear 3 minutes after I am able to move the cursor, hit Opera 7.5 and WinAmp in consecutive orders. I read the e-mails, I read the Anandtech + BBC + CNET + Mobile Burn + PCmag newsfeeds, I read Forumponsel.com, Club-siemens.net, Detik.com, and Yahoo. Cramped fresh informations. All cramped in 5 minutes. Feels like a surge. A surge needed to fully awake my brain. It's 4.45 a.m. I grab my pants, my GT-man briefs, my white t-shirt, my lanyard attached Siemens M65 and it's hitachi case (start wondering !!) , my polo bag which's colours match my Siemens M65, My Creative MuVo Slim 256, my Siemens DCA-510 data cable, my work shirt, my socks, my jackets, and my braunbuffel belt my dad gave me. All cramped in two hands and a shoulder. After tossed everything on a living room chair, I grab a glass from the kitchen, pour a water from a dispenser, drink, grab a plate, pick a dishful of rice, pick any additional protein sources available, and enjoy my breakfast. 5.00 a.m. Voice of America is on. 5.10, I grab my clothes and towel and my Siemens M65, open the bathroom door, close the bathroom doors, hang the clothes, undress, hang the used clothes, and sit on the toilet. I play tetris on my Siemens M65 while unloading. 5.15. I quit the tetris and put my Siemens M65 on the toiletries rack and start spraying myself with fresh, morning water. After soaping myself with a Dettol liquid soap stored on a Dettol liquid soap bottle (hey, it was Biore for Man before it, and before Biore was Lux for Delicate Skin..or so I remember it that way), I dry myself and my Siemens M65, got clothed, and out of the bathroom. 5.25 I put on my work shirt, my braunbuffel belt, and my socks. Hunt my Toshiba fridge for a dose of Yakult, drink it, hunt the medicine spot for a dose of Ester-C,eat it, hunt a haircomb, get combed, put on my jacket, hunt my shoes, put them on, say goodbye to everyone, and off I go. It is 5.45. After some activities cramped in very short time my muscles got warmed and warmed more by the morning sun. Time to start walking. | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |

Convergence

by Eko Prasetyo @ 6:14 PM Live is getting smaller and unified. I have seen cellphones and camera cramped into one. Now I have seen a ballpoint and cigarette lighter cramped into one.

Year 2005 : A start

by Eko Prasetyo @ 2:01 PM Aah..here I am again, back to blogging and back to a January 1st. My father is retired, and I got my first income the day when he started to stop coming to his office. I am finally able to treat friends with my own income..and buying all of those video games, Gundam kits, cellphones, graphic cards, mp3 players, and so on and so on and so on...the list got longer and longer and longer when I was thinking what should I do with the money...and the wage seems not enough if I satisfy every needs... Not to mention I'm still single and the dating requirement projections are not on the outcome list yet... Ah well, have start to use that EXCEL stuff and begin doing some accounting.. And yes..this is indeed shall be the grimmest new year in the modern era, with death tolls approaching 150000 occured after The Great Shaking of 2004. Let's pray for them and for our friends in Aceh. Part of my wage has gone to them, but it wasn't enough. It shall never be enough. Peaceful be the Earth. | My Alter Ego | Blogroll Me! | 0 blogger comments | | |
