a friend today told me an unlogical assertion about why Indonesia is having such a bad whether by the end of last year and the beginning of this year.let me share one thing really occupying my mind presently. a local paper has been fuzzing around with an official paper from the sultan that within the next week, presumably until the 10th of February, a tropical storm will hit Jogja with blowing wind that will reach the speed of 75 k perhour.meaning that is a quick burst to your face, you are lucky to be alive then. the letter also said that everyone should becareful by the 9th until the 10th since the 'presumably' storm will be on its peak of action. yikes. i thought jogja is the safest place on earth.well, it is not. since the huge mount merapi is sleeping prettyly behind the view of this city.on one point it is a killing time bomb, since anytime she could wurp her larva out and once in 1980 something i heard about the hot wind that killed many people, plant, and animals.on the other point its a prestigious tourism attraction. yikes. natural disaster is not in everybody's dictionary i think. but the previous tsunami in aceh was really a threat for every human being. its a quick sweeping.okay, i am panic now. i am such a panic bitch now.but i wonder why people around me are acting like nothing is gonna happen. am i the only one who is bitching around about the unfriendly whether?
the sultan told everyone to pack important things for the worst case scenario. what are they anyway? i have not packed my stuffs. dont go out. dont stand by a high tree. thats some of the warnings too.ahh, i am already imagening the scenes in that twister movie starring helen hunt.indonesia is not america anyway where every area has that underground bunker to hide yourself when storm attacks. indonesia is the not the country where its people are taught the pre storm precaution. like its Japan or arizona or arkansas or any place where storm hits the spot annualy. i wonder whether people are acting normally since most javanese are not neko neko and tend to be nrimo (accepting everything as God's will, and everyone has his or own luck, you die now thats what written on ur palm, gotta take it bro. since when i become synical). well, but i am already anyway. if i gotta die, i will die.thats what i believe. so dont bring any issue of future parameter goal bitch. God speaks here.
the thing is what sultan said will be obeyed here. he is the representation of God. and Jogja is a very mystical place and spot anyway. jogja is cornered on the middle by the southern sea on the south, which is also mystical and full of myths with its queen of the ocean known as Roro kidul who likes to 'take' people in to the sea. and on the north we have that proud mount merapi. and its said that those two powerful items, the southern sea and the mount merapi is the protector of this city,and the sultan's palace is the item that maintain the balance of the natural frenzy made by the two items i mentioned above. What Sultan's said mostly will come true. and also this one i assume. ahh.
well, the wind that going to blow on this city is called the tropical storm. is it? since now is still the rainy season, but the whether is hot anyway. i guess this is the cause of the storm. the difference of the temperature, the hot wind colides with the cold rain. and it breaks the balancy.oggjjj....what an analysis.
anyway, this is an image of a tropical storm happened last year on the carribean sea.it looks awful to me.



does it look awful to you? i am starting to imagening things when i look at it.this is an issue everyone.get panic!!
more of the tropical storm here
and here
lets pray for the best,and pray for us in here.
i am crossing my fingers now.wish for luck.
tropical storm, i am ready!
ps: there are some club people here, who presumably will hit the floor in hours to come, dont they know that a big wind is coming, and i assume it wont be wind only, but with high tide water, no no no...dont they sense the panic?
