Dear Love.., 

I have a story to be told. The story I'd call the lesson of a bus ride.

It all started when I took the bus to the office. It wasn't easy. I waited,

stood, foot stepped and even asked to step down and take the other

bus. It was tough. I guess I just did not have the best luck that I got yesterday.

But it's fine dear. Knowing I'll be soon at the office and meet you eventually.

This makes me realize that we might get easiness and luck in everything we're going

through. But baby, we might also face problems and difficulties that threat to do us part.

And dear, please overhaul them and remember the end of the journey. It's all

about us meeting each other and be together. Love you.

By the way, I just wanna say good morning love.

Emotion is for humans only
Feel 'em.., share 'em...

When u're happy
Laugh.., share...
Make everyone feels what you feel
They'll understand
Be careful.., it won't last...
It might get worse

When u're sad
Cry.., tell...
Make everyone knows what you've been
They'll understand
No worries.., it won't last...
It will get better

'Cause it's just emotion
Something that is designed for humans

"The Way I Am" 
by: Ingrid Michaelson

If you were falling, then I would catch you.
You need a light, I'd find a match.

Cause I love the way you say good morning.
And you take me the way I am.

If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
Your head is aching, I'll make it better.

Cause I love the way you call me baby.
And you take me the way I am.

I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
Sew on patches to all you tear.

Cause I love you more than I could ever promise.
And you take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.
You take me the way I am.

PPIA Wollongong: Pray for Indonesia

Walaupun kami jauh, bukan berarti tangan kami tak sampai.

Sekedar info link beberapa foto untuk acara PPIA Wollongong: Pray for Indonesia.

Semoga hasil dari acara yang walaupun diselimuti awan mendung dan hujan rintik-rintik ini dapat membantu meringankan beban saudara-saudara kita yang sedang diselimuti awan kelabu pasca gempa/tsunami di Mentawai serta saudara-saudara kita yang lain yang masih dirundung duka dan hujan abu pasca letusan gunung Merapi.

"Nature Is Beautiful, yet It Is Poweful. People Are Resourceful, yet We Are Sinful"

Let me open this post with some of Ebiet G. Ade's Lirik of "Berita Kepada Kawan".

"...

Barangkali di sana
ada jawabnya
Mengapa di tanahku terjadi bencana

Mungkin Tuhan mulai bosan
Melihat tingkah kita
Yang selalu salah dan bangga
dengan dosa-dosa
Atau alam mulai enggan
Bersahabat dengan kita
Coba kita bertanya pada
Rumput yang bergoyang"

Several natural disasters have occurred in Indonesia in only one month. Flood in Wasior, forest fire with its smoke in north-western part of Sumatra, extreme weather in almost all part of Indonesia, flood in Jakarta and most recently earthquake + tsunami in Mentawai as well as volcano eruption of mount Merapi in Sleman. These disasters have taken hundreds of lives and injured thousands of people. Not to mention thousands more to evacuate. We might wonder why these unwanted events needed to happen in this country.

It is true that nature is beautiful, nevertheless it is also true that nature is powerful. Powerful in a good way, and powerful in the worst possible way. Then why we cannot prevent the worst situation and gain the good way? I know that it is God's will, but are we sure that we do not have any contribution that triggers these disasters? 

People are skillful, people are knowledgeable and people are resourceful. But have we dedicated all (or at least) most of our skill, knowledge and resource the way that God intends to? We are all resourceful, but yet we are sinful.

We might not be able to turn back time and prevent all those disasters. However, it is never to late to help and support our friends and family who became the victims of these disasters. Even one prayer is worth a universe for them. Therefore, let's pray for Indonesia and the world.

Finally, see yourself in a mirror and ask yourself 'what have I done in my life?' and 'why have I done that?'.
