Why is it all about money

Why is it all about money?
Men work really hard to collect money
Till no love left but love for money
And your heart is blinded with greedy

Money comes, money goes
You can work as much as you want
Pretend that it's all that matters to your happiness
But when it goes, what's left for you?

In your mind is a big question how to enlarge your profit
This time, you can buy your friendship with golds
But until when will they stick with you?
When you  are withered, who stays?

Before you lose your mind,
can you take a little from your precious time?
Look at people around you,
Have you taken their love for granted?

Postcards To Foreigners

Hi, I'll spend a little of my precious time to share my new experience. I should have written it last week but I could not find the right time to do it. To limit my time, I will only write for 5-songs-long. Hahaha..

So here is my new interesting and valuable experience.
Several weeks ago my friend told me that he joined a community where they do postcard crossings. This community has thousands followers and they come from different countries. After spending some time to ponder whether I should also join this community, I answered a big YES!

So here is the rule:
The beginner like me, should only send maximum 5 cards to the addresses given by the community. After all the postcards arrive to their destination, this limit will be increased to 6, and so on..

So at that time I didn't have any post card yet, so my friend gave me one. wow! thanks! So I wrote my first postcard to Russia ^^

And because I wanted to send as many as possible, I looked for empty postcards in bookstore, finally I found them at Gramedia at Semanggi. I bought 3 more postcards and wrote them the next day.
Finally, last Thursday I sent all my first 4 postcards to their destinations, to Russia, German, China and USA.

I hope they will arrive soon because I can't wait to send more postcards.



FYI, It's not ok to spread the addresses, so I blurred them :)
Also, I can't wait to tell you when I get my first postcard from the other member ^^. Hopefully it won't take too long and reduce my joy in postcard crossing. See you later...

Things That I Just Knew... -Week 1401-

Hey.. I just got this idea this morning.. I plan to create a rubric called "Things I Just Knew" every week (just my plan, but I won't promise). In this rubric, I will write down many things that I just know in a week period. No matter if it's a thing that everybody has known, not an important thing or just a rumor, as long as I just know it in that week, I'll write it down. So this is the first week. Please enjoy ;)

Here are the things that I just knew this week:

  1. "The Pilgrimage", a book by Paolo Coelho, is a book that he wrote before he wrote "The Alchemist", his most popular book.

1st Mistake in New Year

Hi there! I guess lately I've been in a mood to write and write again. So here I am, telling my story about my  first 2 days in this new year.
So what did I do in the 1st of January 2014? I cleaned my home all day because today my dad will be back from Lampung after visiting my big sis and my two little cute nephews. A little introduction to my dad, he is the most captious man when it comes to the cleanliness and tidiness of our home.

So yesterday, I cleaned my room, had my lunch, swept the the floor, had my dinner, watched the final of American Next Top Model Guys and Girls, ironed all the clothes and went to bed. That's it.

Today, I'm kinda having my first real interaction with other people directly in 2014. So today I started with waking up late, went to the bus stop and there was this one man who stepped on my way when I was entering the bus and I almost fell. Usually that simple thing will quite ruin my day, but this morning I took it easy. What could possibly ruin your new year, right? All my journey to the office is safe. ^^

I arrived fortunately 13 minutes before 9 at my office. Some of my friends started to comment on my new haircut. -___-" okay, it's too short but hey, at least I didn't stuck on the same haircut :P So I just let them. And from my point of view that was a right decision. Still no mistake.

After spending some time chit chat, some of my friends brought some food from their hometown and asked me if I wanted to taste it. I enjoyed the fried tempe until it left only the crumbs inside the jar. But then I proved new year didn't mean all my bad habit could be fixed right away, especially my sloppiness. I let the jar fell from my hand. The crumbs went anywhere. And that was my first official mistake of 2014! Yeay!
The good thing was I didn't drop the jar near my table hahaha.. so I assumed there would be no rat or cockroach near my seat. :P

At the night, while serving my dinner for myself, I accidentally dropped a plate again. Fortunately that was an empty plastic plate. So with 2 days we got, I made 2 small mistakes. ^^"
I hope it won't continue for the rest of the year.

There are 2 questions left: Why am I so careless? Is there any cure for it? :)
