My Bits and Bops
Things are hectic. Everything has just been a complete whirlwind of madness. I’ve been running around trying to get everything done, both at home and at work. I haven’t moved from page 17 on my current read and it’s been a while since my last post here.Because of all those weekday madness, I’ve been trying real hard to make sure my weekends are now plan-free. But dang, my boss called me this morning and said i have to attend a meeting in the office with my client. So now here i am again, switching on to the cyberworld, looking at what’s popped up on my monitor instead of taking rest for my burning head.
Last week I managed to relax over the weekend and did a quick DVD marathon. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Love Me if You Dare finally came off my wait-list and I saw Amelie and Y tu mama tambien again for the umpteenth time.
Anyways, I’m sitting here in my working desk and I can see the dark sky outside with all the glittering lights from faraway buildings. Someone’s having a party in the next door building and I can see some people dancing from my window. The instrumental version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow is playing on the background and all of a sudden I feel so alone.

(S)weeping Away
I’ve been following the news on how bad the flood is in Jakarta and have texted a few of my good friends to see how they’re doing. Some are fine but some also have lost valuable belongings like cars, motorbikes as well as essential househould appliances like washing machines, fridges and god knows what else. It saddens me to think about them right now.My parents and my sister are okay but one of my aunt’s house is slowly drowning and the last I heard was that the water had reached waist level. The sky’s already dark and I’m hoping things are beginning to get better. The image of people huddling on their rooftops is unpleasant, if not sad. But what makes me really down is that a good friend of mine emailed me yesterday and said he couldn't be here as planned in view of the flood and Chinese New Year...Sigh...
Anyway, I hope you’re all hanging in there. Of course my prayers are with you.

Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head
It’s been pissing all day here and the weather’s just been so miserable outside. I came in to work late today. I stayed awake till 3 in the morning, chatted with an old friend last night and we laughed our arses off till the clock struck passed the midnight when the call ended. He’s one of my brilliant mate and it was so nice to see him doing well, despite his crazy antiques and behavior. I guess if you’re in the creative field, people sort of understand if you’re rather weird.Hmm...There are so many things I want to write about, I kinda miss pouring my heart out here. But i figured, some things are better left unsaid and unshared. It’s difficult to contain so many thoughts deep down inside, yet you’re left with no choice but to bottle them up. Nonetheless, I do believe that everything happens for a reason. I’m not making any sense, am I? Don’t worry about it. After all, it is only a blurted thought.
The air is really cool outside, I’ll sleep with the windows open tonight. And I think I need to go somewhere, all by myself.

Jakarta - Indonesia
I wanna meet people who inspire those around them with their posture alone but break hearts when they dance, people who are brave and sincere, people who know of other languages and cultures and are willing to share their knowledge with me, old books and photographs, music that I have to fall into....
