Good Morning

Friday, January 12th, 2007

I enjoy a slice of toaster bread with cheese and a cup of coffee while watching children go to school through my window. Some are toddlers with their parents, some are elementary school children. My house is nearby a high school, so I also can see some students who are late to enter the school’s gate, try to jump from the back wall hahaha it reminds me to my high school period ;)

Sorong is not a bad place to stay in. Don’t trust Loney Planet! It isn’t JUST oil here…. ;)

I found ALMOST everything here (don’t mention teh botol hehe) because this place is like a small city in Java. Don’t compare with Wamena or even Manokwari, because they have a little choice and mostly more expensive. I was surprised when I can find pop-up toaster! Even in Meulaboh I could not find that.

My problem is I never stay too long in one place. I keep traveling just to find a place where I can call it “home”. Well, I realize it is a mistake. I have to create my own paradise where I can call it home :)

So, in between meetings with counterparts *mostly, they were smoking inside the meeting’s room :(*, provide technical advices, field trip to the puskesmas and villages (gorgeous places), piles of files that have to be sorted, and many things to do (just named it! You can’t imagine how long my to-do-list is Hehe) I can cook a delicious meal for myself and play with the neighbors children in the afternoon. They are soo sweet. Some of them want to be a doctor like I am haha Don’t be! ;p I have plan to start drawing, painting and take pictures if the office has been settled ( I miss those activities). I also have plan to buy a bicycle, especially to go to the market and the beach *because nobody here can teach me how to use motorbike hiks :,( * Oya, go to the beach everyday or go to Raja Ampat (the most beautiful diving site in Papua) for diving as many as you can is a bonus! ;p

Life can be passed too fast or too slow; it can be interesting or boring; it’s up to you. For me, I will not do the same mistake. Life is too beautiful… Live a life for a fullest :) Enjoy the journey of life.
