“Walau di desa, kita bisa lihat dunia..”

(Indonesian: “Though we’re in village, we’re able to see the world..”)

 

That innocent sentence from an innocent boy on the tv commercial is very powerful to make people wanna go on-line at their places.

Who’s not jealous, seeing another person can laugh alone by chatting on the compie, with someone uncertain in the middle of nowhere in another part of the world?

Who’s not jealous either, if you want a picture of David Beckham, you just need to download it from the compie and print it by a cheap photocopy machine?

you just need to print it by a cheap photocopier machine.

And who’s not jealous, if you can get a job at somewhere far away, just by writing a mail on your compie?

 

So my office hurried to install the internet on the phone line.

Actually we have lotta compies, luxurious enough for a small office by the small river in a small town; but we’ve only got one phone cable connected.

Then we bought Ethernet to connect all of the compies; so each persons can get on-line, not just using compie for writing the salary reports or playing Zuma Deluxe.

But after all of the cable has been plugged, a new problem comes: The browser software is unusable coz the Brontox gang has infected it.

 

Shortly, the software must be reinstalled.

The problem is, where to install softwares in this small town?

And who sells original softwares here?

Then this is a governmental office, do we have budget for buying softwares?

 

Thank God at Pulang Pisau we still find a computer service mechanic who understands about softwares.

He can install the Internet Explorer; but the tariff chokes me coz it’s too much and it’s big enough for making fiesta.

This is the moment when I start to miss Bandung, my hometown; the paradise of pirated compact discs where you can buy a pirated Mozilla Firefox by 30,000 rupiahs only.

 

The national informaticians functionaries menaces to prison anyone who uses pirated softwares.

But they never think of the cheap budget to install the browser and antivirus softwares on the compies of the governmental offices at small villages.

We just need computer, and it doesn't cost much.

The functionaries on the ministry of treasury approve the budget for buying the compies and the phone cables for the governmental office operations.

But they never count the budget for informathics maintenance such as spare softwares.

Though all of the compies are bought by the people’s taxes.

But these functionaries wish for the safety of these commended compies on the hands of the cheap compie service mechanics.

And these cheap mechanics are paid by the wallet of the civil governmental staffs.

 

They say that we’re in the village, but why is it very difficult to see the whole world?

Carla, Barrack, and Johanna.

They are attracting phenomenon of the year in international politics.

Three of them have something in common, that they come from certain circle which used to be humiliated often, but now they’re first person in their countries.

Well, the mention ain’t exact, too, probably.

Barrack Obama is absolutely the first person in USA today, coz he’s the president.

But Carla Bruni ain’t the first person; more exactly, she’s the wife of the first person in France.

Johanna Sigurdardottir is the prime minister of Iceland; but I don’t know if a prime minister is adequate to be called as the first person or she must be the second or the third, coz the president exists.

But it doesn’t matter in this post.

 

Before becoming the wife of Nicholas Sarkozy, Carla was never really popular.

She’s a model, and they said that she was a singer.

Though her voice ain’t really special, if you don’t wanna call her another hit number.

It’s interesting that she’s ever been a model for a magazine of poors.

That’s the terminology that my colleague gave, for a magazine which publishes the pictures of poors.

Why he called them poors, coz the people inside the pictures, are so poor and they don’t have anything to wear when they’re taking photos.

 

 

Obama is a descent of Afro-America, the race which is most disadvantaged in States coz they can’t speak English fit and properly according to the right grammar.

Typically African family, his father got married four times, and that made his Kenyan family breed a lot like bunnies. Obama’s ever been addicted to cannabis when he was a student.

Nobody ever thought that someday the drug abuser would be the president of United States.

 

Johanna has just been already famous this week, after she took the vow as the prime minister of Iceland. And I thought that this was the first time a lesbian could be a prime minister.

Especially a lesbian who maintains a mistress in her house.

 

An ex naked model, an ex drug abuser black, and a lesbian, are figures of minority which were often insulted.

All people in the world are ready to campaign about the rights of the minorities, but people never advocate for those who’s ever posed naked, tripping, or playing AC/DC.

So don’t dream that they may reach the top of politic; coz they’re just lucky if they can live without getting mocked by public.

 

American doesn’t care that its president is an ex drug abuser.

 

As long as this president promises to call off his soldier at Iraq, and will close the unregistered prison at Guantanamo, then there he goes to become a president.

 

At France, when the president gets married again for the third with an ex naked supermodel, the people shows no tantrum.

As long as the First Lady doesn’t embarrass the people, such as flirting with the other country chiefs in the country gala dinner.

Imagine if in the dinner Carla flirted with somebody else’s husband, such as the husband of President Gloria Arroyo, or even worse, the husband of Queen Elizabeth. Isn’t it a big no no?

Husbands, beware!

 

Probably the one who doesn’t need beware is Johanna Sigurdardottir.

 

She may be the only country chief-lady who won’t bring any husband to the country gala dinner. Icelanders don’t seem really care that Miss Prime Minister dates another girl.

Johanna had been longing as a minister of social affairs, and it seems that nobody else who fits to lead Iceland today except Johanna.

 

I imagine my country, which now is busy of talking about presidency election.

It takes too long time to make the law about condition of president candidates; only coz they’re arguing whether the president must have at least a bachelor degree, or must fit physically.

What if the candidate is an ex drug abuser, or has an ex porn supermodel as a wife?

Raising a woman as a government chief is very difficult, especially if the lady candidate is actually gay.

I think the country will dismiss.

Dismiss not coz the president is from insulted minority, but dismiss coz the (representative) people are busy of arguing about unimportant things.

 

Coz, talking about the figure is like making a pancake.

The content inside does matter, more important than the topping.

If you just concern making the topping rather than the content; then it’s not pancake that you’re making, but that’s pizza.

 

I think I’m hungry now.
