I don't know a thing

For everytime we breathe, we make wish to this life...
Sometime it does come true but most of the time it doesn't...
We had our regrets, but we keep going on...
because it is not how many steps we leave behind that count,
but how did we made those steps so each step we take had some meaning.
But hey... we're not perfect being... so sometimes it doesn't really matter,
as long as we talk and listen to ourself, we won't lose our path completly...
what good will it bring if we known what will we became?
The future never speak clearly to us, since it is not our rights to listen to,
Sometime I wondering... about me, us, and all the people...
ahh... probably it is just a shadow to me, but still I cannot hold to it tightly...
cause what will it became is not the question...

Birthday

For most of people celebrating their birthday(s) is really a must thing to do. The cake, the candles, the balloon, the singing and the people are mixing together, creating a kind of party of their own wishes. For some people the even willing to pay off large sum of money so they can create a party of thier own. You gotta admit, for some occasion, the party itself can be used as a device to shows to others, level status of the party owner in a society strata. Well I'm not aginst them for having such party though. It is their life, their money and their birthday so they can do anything about it for all I care.
For me such party is meaningless. Yes, it is true that by having such party you can share some of the happiness of yourself to others. But for me it is a shame to have such thing. Everytime I wanted a celebrated something for myself, I always ask this question. What deed did I do til I deserve such kind of celebration? The samething with a birthday celebration. Why I should celebrated my lessen time here on this world? Do I really have confidence that each time pass by I move one step closer to heaven?
Some people said it is OK, it is just for showing how much people care to you. Well, I say, no need a day like one's birthday to show how much you care to that person. You can do it anytime you like, by any means. Even if the person doesn't know or care, you can still do it though... :).

Travel by Plane in Indonesia? Nooo wayy..

Plane Cockpit

(Captain and his Co-Pilot)
Captain! Engine No. 1 is failing! we losing altitude fast!
Put max power to engine no. 2, slowed the failing speed and maintain course!
Captain! Engine No. 2 also failing! what should we do?
Put all remaining power to Engine No. 3!
But Capt... we don't have 3 engine to begin with!
If we got no engine running, then why do ask me what to do?!

Announcement by stewardesess

(Stewrdesses and a Passangers)
Dear passanger, well be landing shortly please fasten your seat belt and pray, we'll land safely...
But miss, we cannot find our seat belt anywhere....
Then, Sir and Madamme, please pray harder....
.
Lavatory Area

(Stewrdesses and a Passanger)
Sir...! please Sir... ! The Plane is losing altitude, you should go back to your seat and fasten your seat belt!
Sorry... gotta go now, this is emergency...
.
Kitchen Area

(Two stewardesses)
Hey you! Why do you stashed up so many foods and liquor? Are you going to a picnic?
Just in case if the plane crash, I still have some food to eat and wine to drink..
Yeah rite... that would be good if you see a plane crash as a picnic time...
.
Passangger Seats

(Two Passanger)
(mumble) I don't wanna die... I don't wanna die... Please God don't let me die....
Stop that! it makes me nervous! Mumbling and praying continously like that, and what religion are you in to anyway?
None... I'm an atheist, just in case if God is really exist at least if I pray like this, I can still go to Heaven...
Don't give me that shit...! Not only you an atheist, you're also an opportunist... and that makes you a Jew!

.

Luggage Area

(Two "scientist wannabe" passangers)

Unload all things we don't need, the plane is losing altitude, we need the plane as light as posible so it can still flying...

(couple minutes later)

Sir! we've unload all things we don't need but the plane still losing altitude, what should we do now?

(think a moment) For the good of the most, we must ask person with the heaviest weight to jump off the plane using available parachute, and then one by one, until the all the parachutes are used...

(couples minute later, after all the parachutes are used)

Done Sir! I think it's working, we're manage to losing one third of the total passanger. Stress level of the plane by weight should be decrease by now.

Good... Now let's ask the pilot to stabilize the plane, let the sacrifices of the people before have some meaning.

But Sir, Captain and the rest of the crew are included into the group before and already jump off the plane!
