Wi-Fi @ Angkringan

Short message appear on my mobile: "Angkringan yuuuukkkk...."
It's a code that some people are ready to go or even have been there for a while. Hmm..it's always tempting me to go to the angkringan. Especially this one on JMN's parking lot. With only parking fee and a glass of hot tea (Jogja was cold brrrrrrr), I can get a full wi-fi access. It cost me 1.000 Rp. The quality of food and Wi-Fi weren't bad at all :D Well, but you must be really patient to wait for the beverages, since they only have little number of glasses. *wink*

I am not talking about we're sitting in one angkringan then get some leaking Wi-Fi access or something like that. No no.. this one is we're sitting on one that provide Wi-Fi. My friends from outside Jogja or those who have been out of town for a while always re-check what I said, when I said I am at the angkringan.
"Leaky signal, isn't it?"
"Illegal signal eh?"
I can understand why my friends' (especially those who reside in our Capital City) thinking like that. Few days ago, I read in KOMPAS, that some malls in Jakarta started to provide WiFi access for their customers. But they only give limited access and it's not free. Well, I live in Jogja, a heavenly place to connect to the internet using your mobile phone or lappie. Just sit on some little cafe (if you prefer cafe) and you'll get internet access. But, if you go to the cafes you may need to prepare more money than if you choose the angkringan.

Edge of The Ocean

There's a place I dream about,
where the sun never goes out,
and the sky is deep and blue.
won't you take me there with you?

Oh, we can begin again,
shed our skin, let the sun shine in,
at the edge of the ocean,
we can start over again.

There's a world I've always known,
somewhere far away from home,
when I close my eyes I see,

all the space and mystery.


Oh, we can begin again,

shed our skin, let the sun shine in,

at the edge of the ocean,

we can start over again.

Year 2007 is halfway through. Yet so many questions are unanswered.
I pray for the answers. Still, I cannot understand.

Hmm...maybe because what I want..what I need.. is a simple, instant, and easy answers. I want those answers come to me out of nothing at all. Ridiculous, aren't I?

I know.. I know, that I must be patient, waiting for the right time to come, meanwhile walking in the path that I have chosen. It's just that I always feel that I have to see the whole pictures, before I put another steps. Well.. no no..that's out of the rules. I cannot see the whole pictures, yet. It will make this all useless.

These last few weeks were great. So much pain, yet so much gain. (No..no.. I was not getting any vicious charms in these last few weeks, others got it, but I feel it too...)

BCB said, "it's all to make you see the other part of you."
*I don't like it, I hate it, it's so NOT me.*
"You're just not accustomed to that part. It is YOU."

Haa..maybe I will learn how it feel to be a Dr. Jeckyll. (Uncle D, I borrow your lines).

Shalalalalala shalala shalala
at the edge of the ocean,

we can start over again.

Another Change

Here I go again, I have to disciplined myself. To blog or not to blog, that's the question. ^_^

Actually, it's all about the words that I have said to myself and people around me.

I often see myself as a dreamer, yet people see me as a realist. A friend of mine commented, "It's because you never realizing your dreams."

I said, "No, I am in the progress of realizing one of them."

Hmm.. yet now, I am still thinking his words. It may be the truth.

SO.. Time to change...

Owh, it makes me remember on the first point of The Four Agreement (A Wisdom book by Don Miguel Ruiz) "Be Impeccable With Your Word". Speak with integrity, speak only what you mean.
