(Another) Guru at Your Service
August 6, 2009
One day when I went to buy a memory card, I saw a big picture of an Indian couple. I recognize them from some spiritual commune; somebody named ‘Bhagwan…..’ (sorry I forgot). I remember because somebody from that commune came to the office once, quite long time ago. I just couldn’t help to ask the shop assistant about the man on the photo (I just want to make sure that my memory doing well..). And he point to somebody sitting at the corner, who own the photo. I never meant to convey a message that I was being POSITIVE about the photo.. because I’m not! And when I look at the man who own this photo, suddenly I was regretting my asking about that photo to the shop-assistant! This man at the corner have some snobbish look on his face, and a bit cynical (?)..I don’t know the right word, I just regretting that I even BOTHER to comment.
Wahyu Tuhan untuk Capres

Ada banyak cara yang dipakai orang untuk menunjukkan dukungan terhadap capres/ cawapres pilihannya. Status-status di facebook, attachment ke berbagai link, notes, blog pribadi, dsb. Itu baru di dunia maya. Di keseharian juga masih banyak cara lain untuk menunjukkan dukungan. Tapi hari ini ada satu yang sangat menarik, lumayan untuk refreshment di jam kerja yang sibuk.
A Man Who Once Become Part of My Fantasy

Yes you can guess it by now, it’s him. Michael Jackson. I heard the shocking news early in the morning, a friend told me. Felt my heart break, something wrong with my throat, seemed hard to swallow. Loads of status updates in facebook are about him. With each of their own way, people expressing their feelings towards him. Nobody knew him personally. He’s a superstar, a legend, and lives long way from here, but yet all these people show their last respect. Even just in status updates.
Miss-identified Self

Buat yang suka shopping, atau sekedar window shopping, kejadian berikut pasti pernah dialami: masuk ke sebuah toko, branded, harga barangnya ratusan hingga jutaan rupiah, tapi disambut oleh pegawai toko yang tampangnya ‘blank’, melayani setengah hati dan sibuk stengah mati terlihat se-level dengan barang jualannya yang branded. Sound familiar? Tidak hanya untuk barang yang branded, bahkan ketika window shopping atau menyelesaikan transaksi di kasir sebuah supermarket –yang sangat biasa- pun, hal ini kadang-kadang terjadi.
