Ahhh... The monsoon rain is here again. Eachday the tropical Islands of Paradise kinda greyish colour :) - nevertheless, it is still looking quite awesome and hope GOD bless all the people in it ! Despite the country in turmoil with all the natural and un-natural disasters, we still manage to smile to whoever come to our country and hope that they will enjoy their stay... after all, they come all the way here from across the globe to see our country, so least we could do are making sure that our guests feel very much welcome... a smile doesn't cost that much :D but what if the guests is arogant or heartless or ignorant ? The hot flowing mud still attacking the East part of Java, and almost drown that part of the island along with any hopes... the houses.. the schools... the offices.. the shops... anything there was, now is just huge pool of hot mud and at anytime the gas pipes could burst into flame again and might danger as well as killed so many people, again ! If I want to close my eyes in order to blind myself stupid from it, I am sure I can... but my heart never one able to avoid such situation. Our government "doing" their best to do what they can........ the company that was doing the damage also doing what they can... BUT ! What can we do when the stomach need to eat ? Where the children can go to continue their study so they can eventually not making the same mistakes as these people who claimed themself as " very smart " ? Where the farmers can go and grow something so they can produce essential food for the locals and others ? where mothers can provide their food on the table without any money ? where fathers go to work so they can feed their family ?? Damm if I know !! What I don't understand would be......... where are the HELP for these people... they live under harsh and very poor condition yet, new exclusive aeroplane was being bought............. and spending so much money, our people money, just for 5 hours visit of Mr . President of the Numero Uno Country !! We could used the money to feed our people... am I being stupid or unreasonable ? Emergency situation right in front of our eyes but we are busying ourself just for 1 man ?? while we've got hundreds and hundres of people homeless, penniless, starving... lost... dead... scared... Open your eyes government, set your priority right ! are we totally heartless to our own people ?? As far as I concern Mr.Bush can land on that huge pool of mud for all I care ! Not damaging the land of our heritage of Bogor and using all of our money ( the money we haven't got ) to pay respect to him who was here for just a mere 5 hours ? I understand his "point of talking" but... can he really see that the country is in turmoil therefore the least he could do would be stop talking but action already :) While he's jetsetting wherever he "wish" to... the people in our country still hungry, homeless, lost, etc & not by choice.......... open your eyes mr. bush while you were sitting comfortably on the whatever plane you was in.. and truly feel the pain and suffering of others... Disasters and tough luck happen all the world, yes but... the point being would be HOW to eliminate it or lessen it ? not just by some comfort words !! Words doesn't feed anyone or educate anyone... no, unfortunately...not that way anyway.. So yes, this islands of paradise is beautiful but doesn't mean we are lounging around under the coconut tree and having siesta while our brothers, sisters, children, mothers, fathers, grandma... grandpa suffering just a few kilometers away !! I am not going to tell you what I've done but let me tell you... when you see a child running aimlessly crying looking for their mother/ father and hungry... Your heart felt like being crushed over and over again...... I am living it everyday ! Have sense will ya !
