Be An Angel Day

I look at the old man who leans by the sidewalk to strum his guitar. His music is sound, though he is blind. The stray dog, a homeless animal, which accompanies him wherever he goes, is his first loyal fan. It eggs him on by barking a warn when he misses a note….He whistles a tune, strums a warm-up stroke, and then settles into the melody. The sincerity with which he goes about it is what makes me like him more than his music. He's a man of small needs, I guess…he never breaks his rhythm to count the cents and dollars. Twilight time it was and I happen to pass by with Meggy….we just stood transfixed as the old man was passionately belting out his wares gleefully. Foot tapping, we patiently heard it all. Then Meggy, the kind-hearted soul, dropped a dollar. Once he was through, he seemed to be in a hurry. Against his nature, he counted the money with his fumbling fingers and felt his way guided by his poodle. He was out of the Mac with a piping hot coffee and some delicacy. He immediately spread the buffet and made way for his poodle to whet its appetite. When the dog feasted on making a slurpy noise, he leaned on to the pavement, closed his eyes, patted its mane and smiled…maybe his first of the day. Looked an Angel. Yeah ! We still have people like this.

Tell A Joke Day

Well, I don't purposefully crack a joke a day people, but there comes a phone call everyday to lure me to buy one commodity or another and I tried yelling at all possible decibels…never worked. And then I tried this…
Ring. Ring.
"Hello ?" "Good Morning Sir, I am calling on behalf of The MAS Bank and…." "MAS ? Never heard of that" Confused."Sir, we are debuting in the market and we offer…" I got it…this guy is not gonna hang up for an hour now."Sir, the interest rates are the best in ….." "I was just wondering about the war you know…" I started."Err….Sir…,of course, it's bad" He mumbled."Nah ! the Civil War, I don't know what would happen, look at Lincoln…he is taking decisions by minute" "Sir…that's history" Shocked"But tell me, why should my Old Man shout at me for not coming to Christmas ?" "I'm sorry Sir, I'm not able to follow you" "You a stalker, Mr. ?" "No, Sir…I mean," "Kong, come here….please talk to Mr. Kong… Whoof…bark….grrrrrrrrr…. Click.
Relief ! Not exactly good manners, but if you get 15 calls a day like this, you tend to become sadistic. But here too, humor helps !

Journey to Ancient City

On Friday, August, 10, 2007, I went to Solo City-Middle Java-Indonesia with my fellow neighbourhood. Actually that day we have 2 days national off, so we do a journey, and we would like to visit some amazing object such Prambanan Temple, Malioboro nightspot, Klewer Market, Parangtitis Beach and Ganjuran Village. We are regroup at 8.00 pm at Teratai Square and departed at 9.00 pm with 1 bus. I dont like the bus because seats aren't reclining seats, the space is very light, so i got leg-ache, air conditioner aren't adjustable so I feel frozen like fish on refrigerator. We stopped by to refuel at Ngawi, and Mojokerto. Our first target is Ganjuran Village, arrived at 5.00 am, I got pray at temple, join my fellow to do Misa Ekaristi, and went to bath. The water so cold and fresh, make my body wake up and recharge to start our trips, then continued with a cup of coffee and mealbox for my breakfast. At 8.00 am we departed to Parangtitis Beach and Kasongan Village to seeing ethnic and traditional handycraft, with good quality and cheap price, if you could bargain the price. Glass, sculpture, vases, lamp, chair, table, painting, and many other are ready to buy to make room looks beautiful.
At 9.45 am we are continued to go to Prambanan Temple, to see beautiful temple that destroyed when tsunami and earthquake at 2005, i have some picture to destroyed temple,
After that we got lunch on mealbox and a cup of water. Then go to Klewer Market to buy some clothes that called Batik( very cheap). Then go to Malioboro street for dinner ( I like so much) the unique recipe such Gudeg Rice, Liwet Rice, Crushed Bone Chicken Fried, Timlo, Ronde, Pecel Rice and many more. At 7.30 pm we are departure to Surabaya, and stopped by at Ngawi to refuel and Mojokerto to supper, and arrived with safe to Surabaya at 01.00 am.
So I went home and get sleep for 8 hours to sunday morning.
