On Donkey

"If you make yourself a donkey there are plenty of people willing to throw a saddle on your back."

(Old Turkish Proverb)

Peace of Mind …

So, I decide to name my Blog "Peace of Mind" !

"Peace of Mind" could also read as "Piece of Mind" or "Place of Mind" (??). Basically the idea is that the Blog would be a place for me to write some piece of my mind, that hopefully would give some peace of mind to myself or to people who read them (if any…). Never have blog of any kind before but the idea just come for me to try to write regularly as kind to capture/snapshot something that I have in mind. This would like to take a picture of the mind in some instant, then the blog would be like a mind-photo album … sort of… Some mind-album that I would like to share with everyone.
Since I would try to write regularly, that means Friendster would send Blog update anouncement regurlarly. I just found that some people are feel disturbed by the way friendster inform everyone in the Friend list about any update on the Blog. I still try to find a way to setup the Blog so it won’t send any of anouncement kind of thingy that would disturbed anyone, but so far it no-luck (or maybe you could tell me some trick…? )
Anyaway, if you are reading this and you find it that is not what you kinda like (a.k.a disturb you), I would like to apologize in advance and unfortunately I think the only way now available is to delete me from your friend-list (but I really hope it won’t happen…)… blame it to Friendster… hehehe.

Or maybe I should find another Blog-sphere available.

Until Then,
Peace

Flu-Burung

Dengar2x sekarang lagi rame flu-burung.

Kebetulan dapat artikel dikit soal flu-burung dari newscientist.com:

"The H5N1 strain of influenza - often referred to as bird flu - was first known to have jumped from chickens to humans in 1997. Since 2004 it has ripped through Asian poultry farms, and had a 70% mortality rate in the first 70 people it is known to have infected. Health authorities fear this strain, or its descendents, could cause a lethal new flu pandemic with the potential to kill billions.

Flu has been a regular scourge of humanity for thousands of years. The flu viruses are a large family, each possessing a mere 10 genes encoded in RNA. All of the 16 known groups originate in water birds, especially ducks and gulls. The virus is well adapted to their immune systems, and does not usually make them very sick. This leaves the animals free to move around and spread the virus - just what it needs to persist…. "

Jadi yg suka melihara ayam atau yang suka sama ayam or ‘ayam’ or "ayam" or something like that … hati2x aja yah… :D

Have a nice wiken n stay healthy !

yang waras ngalah

Jaim kalo ga salah sama dengan Jaga Image… ada cara biar ga perlu repot2x Jaim kemana-mana yaitu jangan punya Image.. jadi ga ada yang perlu dijaga.

Trus temanku juga bilang ada cara gampang biar Iman ga bisa digoda, …. ga usah punya Iman.

Temanku yang satu ini emang ada aja istilahnya yang aneh2x, kadang aku mikir "kalo orang ga ngerti dia dikira waras !"…

Udah ah, daripada ikutan jadi ga waras… mending "yang waras ngalah"

Setahun di kota Hujan

Udah setahun di Bogor tepatnya di Tajur. Kalo ga salah terkenal dengan tas-Tajurnya, …or whatever it is. Looking back to the year, it’s been a great one. Bogor is nice city, maybe I should write another blog to tell about it.

Aku tinggal di kost-an dekat kampus, tempat yang nyaman dan menyenangkan and ketemu banyak orang yang menarik.

Yang paling berkesan mungkin pengalaman berkenalan dengan "Piko" dan "Coky". I think that’s only their nick, no idea what is their real name and I think I don’t need to know, "what is in a name?" kata Shakespeare…. Mereka adalah teman yang paling dinamis yang pernah kutemui. Mereka tinggal dekat kost dan sering "bermain" dan menjaga jalan dari kampus ke kostku.

Awalnya aku menganggap mereka tidak bersahabat dan egois. Mereka sering "berteriak" when the first time we meet, kadang aku pikir mereka lagi cari perhatian. I always have thinking that maybe that’s the way they are trying to communicate and introduce each other. I keep silence because it’s not the kind of language that I would like to use. One late night when I want to go back to my kost and pass by them, they stop me for a long time, relly keep me on the street and stop me from passing. And they start to raise their voices to me. At that time it was very scary, the usually "talk" to me but never this harsh and loud. I don’t understand their problem, so I just stood there and listening to their "speech" that I hope would end soon. I could pass through finally though, unscratched…

Aku lebih akrab dengan Piko, dia lebih bersahabat dibanding Coky. Karakter yang menyenangkan. I’ve get along very well with Coky now, walaupun dia lebih pendiam dibanding Piko, kecuali kalo lagi be-te..

Now, every time I pass by their home, they would greet me and sometime walking and accompany me. Very good feeling though karena jalan yang menuju kost-ku melewati kuburan kampung, yang masih dipake, artinya kadang masih ada kuburan2x baru. But sometime I hate them when they suddenly appear from the dark without making any noise and tiba2x sudah ada disamping or di depan ku. Imagine that walking in the dark, with a fresh-burried kuburan around, tiba2x ada bayangan muncul dari belakang or samping. They really know how to play… :D

Feel kinda secure when they walk with me. Mereka punya penglihatan dan pendengaran yang tajam, tapi kadang bisa ngagetin juga kalo lagi jalan di tempat gelap and tiba2x mereka menyalak or menggeram, apalagi di area dekat kuburan. Anyway, once they accept you as friend, they can really become a very good friend.

For them, friend is a friend, just as it is. They don’t look at shape, don’t care about your looks, clothes, hp, money, cars…. etc.. I think that’s why they are called "Men best Friends".

Piko is a small dog, don’t know what type but little bigger that a cat… I think. Very active one. Coky is bigger, no idea what race is he but he’s not a local kinda of dog, and he’s really big and can be very intimidating when angry…

MayDays MayDays….

Coba nulis blog lagi… setelah kemaren udah nulis panjangxlebarxtinggi tapi tiba-tiba listrik mati, idenya jadi ikut ilang juga. Mudah2xan masih ada yang tersisa…

So, here it goes.. minggu ini has been a very tiring week. Emotionally, ups and down, high-voltage, high-frequency. Don’t know how it was started and why, but I think I learn a lot from it. Other thing that I know is that I am very tired that I have nomore energy to deal with it. So I decided to take a break and a deep breath…. Hmmmmm…. Kalo diterusin kayaknya aku bakalan KO in no-time…

Wiken already.. so I’ll take the time to enjoy myself.

Should post this sebelum lampu mati lagi… :D
