living without technology resulted to several effects. one, the reduction of the actual addiction to technology and the other one is probably the high effort of one's eagerness to seek for the point when one can get that technology. i happen to have the first one.

after the graduation i made this trip to my hometown in west borneo. ready or not i think everyone has to make that kind of trip. years one have been separated or departing themselves from the actual village-y sphere belongs to your pass and now its the time to take a look back, that there are still part of the past behind you and there are still relatives, your uncles and aunties and grand dads and grand moms. they wonder how you look like since for at least 8 years you have been gone from the hood. i have changed a lot, according to my relatives whom i have visited recently.

they noticed a load of things grown in and on me. its like many of those Hollywood movies where the main character would under go such trip and happen to expose something from their past, on that very place.

i always thought that i would despise such trip and always believing that i never belong to such path. but i guess everyone has to be there at one time in their life. i have to take mine. its like a love song for Bobby Long. well, i dont reveal secrets. just some bite of the usual things that happen to my family. my dad said that i have to go home. afterall, its been 8 years i am gone to study. he's right. i need to refresh my mind from the dusty, smoky Jogja. kalimantan always provides me with the sense of home. though Jogja is my other home. i wont discuss that.

i really enjoy this homeward trip. i manage to see hills, green hills, sawah's, farmers on their rice field, some very long narrow or even wide roads that take you to another hills. roads that pass forests, no people around. the usual roads that i go through when i was sooo sooo young.

i have been very busy studying and doing things for five years and those stuffs chased me all days. now its time for a big break, that includes this Christmas. its time for me to wake up each day at 7 and watching METRO this morning, then TRL, and then OPRAH, and then another DVD, and then lunch, and then another daily swimming session at the back of my new house, dinner, and then another session of sponge bob or those fairly odd parents, and then another DVD. and then bed. thats life at twenty something when you have become a bachelor of something and you still have nothing to do and you are waiting for job calls each day. sigh.
