Cold... Hard... Place

I just watched an episode of the "apprentice".. This is my 2nd one since last week.. That's right... the couch potato thing is my "new" thing nowadays...
Anyway, I'm genuinely pissed.. by the women... they are really backstabbing each other at every point of the game.. and displaying a total disregard for each other like I've never seen... they're losing every game, that's true... but, really... in this show, I'm amazed by all these so-called Rhodes scholars/ Wharton/ ivy leaguers..., by the way they don't support one another. Their arrogant, selfish, one upmanshipman of one another, and conveniently blaming other people for their losses...
I don't blame one, or the other. I don't know what i would've done if I were in that situation. However... it's scary to think that all of those people could have been, and probably is, sitting just next to you, a time bomb waiting to detonate.... probably, you, yourself, are like that too......yikes.... are we that primal? in the process of being a top dog, do we have to kill other dogs...
perhaps the immortal word is.... Can't we all get along?....

Getting internet connection up to speed

Ladies/gentlemen..

I'm now connected and online, and whatever have you. and I may consider this my new best friend... haha... so... new update...

my apartement is now a spiffy kind, comes fully furnished with leather couches, two TV's all kitchenette facilities, and located near the river, hence the name, riverside... wake up in the morning and you can sorta feel like living in venice... ha.... kidding.... but it's definitely not ciliwung either... next door is a bakery, where if you're feeling a little wealthy, you can just hop over and have whatever baguette/pesto ciabatta/garlic bread/sourdough etc. with your egg sandwich.... all in all... much better than my actual digs back home...

I miss my car though..... the zipping around, SITTING..... hah..... the carrying around of groceries.... hiks........and now having to contend with rain, wet, jammed bicycle chains, shopping bags that break just precisely at the moment where you have to cross the road.... and i mean, precise.....

bluecactus.... if I were to be asked the same question, do i miss Indonesia? Now? hm... i would say no.... and you shouldn't too.... not even for a million henky tandayu's.....
