been busy… (and a rant)

February 25th, 2003

been busy with my works and my photolog. i love my life =).

but recently i’ve been thinking about continuing my school outside of this miserable country by taking a postgraduate degree. well, since i am not a wealthy man or family, i had to found some scholarship but considering my undergraduate’s grade it will be very hard to find one =(.

well, if you know any scholarship that consider portfolio and/or working experience, please let me know. thanks!

my rant: to study abroad you must have a lot of money. either you are very smart (and get the scholarship) or you are very rich. you could be dumb and stupid but if you are rich you can study abroad, get the job there and stay rich. how about some middle classes like me? are we doomed to be like this forever? well, i believe if my government do their job right against the corruption there will be plenty of financial aid to everybody. i often heard how the government official or the parliement official taking money as equal as ten times the money i need to study abroad. c’mon… what you going to do with that money? bribe God when you die so you can go to heaven? if you didn’t take the money maybe a lot of indonesian people will have free education and i don’t have to study abroad because there will be plenty of great school and opportunity in this country. what? i heard your denial about the corruption… hey! if you are poor when you were not a parliement member and after two years as a parliement member you can buy a billion rupiahs house then i really like to know how you can get that much money because i need those money to continuing my school and not to buy a house!

grieving…

February 24th, 2003

i felt a deepest grieve as my second cousin’s husband passed away after in a coma for almost 2 months and almost 6 months before her father passed away too.

as i visit the mortuary i can’t stop thinking how fragile life is. i still vaguely remember the last time i met her husband. he was a young fellow, not too tall bad built and very much healthy. then one month later he got an accident that made him coma…

then i went to my second cousin’s house… and i just realized that this house had been a grieving house twice before half a year… i just hope that she will holding up as it will be not easy to overcome such a grief.

so lazy…

February 21st, 2003

lately i’ve been so lazy that even i can not believe myself… wake up after 9am, show up very late at the office (yesterday was the worst, 2pm arrived at the office), went home very late, stay up all night in front of my computer doing nothing or just watch cable…

this is worse… i don’t know what happened with me but i feel it’s time to change this bad behaviour (and yes, now is 9am and i am just wake up! argh…)

photolog – soft opening

February 20th, 2003

as you can see, i moved some of the image to my -just launched, may have some error- photolog. go ahead, visit it… write your comment or just look around, but please let me know what do you think. thanks!

now this journal back to its original purpose… a text journal with one or two related images and i think its the right time to re-design this section of avianto.com. but still got no right layout in my mind.

maybe later.
