I Am Bless

My Sunday starts off really great. Woke up had a light breakfast and ready for my full body massage. Sigh... if only I could do this every single Sunday!! The masseuse did a good job on my body... she kneads like its a damn dough. Every kink and knots and tight ends she loosen it up.. but of cause... no pain no gain...but it felt so good.

I was planning to watch Stomp The Yard, but was too lazy by late noon, instead I took a short nap. At about 7.15pm, there was a commotion behind my apartment. Heard shouting and glass broken, thinking another domestic fight just turn WWF. But suddenly I smelled smoke, like burn rubber. Peeping through my washroom window, I saw gray smoke rising. Run out to my kitchen to have a much better view and true enough, the apartment behind me seems to be on fire. But I don't see any fire except for heavy smoke. Soon enough there was a small crowd gathering on the ground. In about 10 mins the Civil Defence (we don't call them the Fire Dept) and ambulance were parked and getting straight to work. I hope the folks are safe and no serious harm on them, with the exception of a burn apartment.

Talking of accident, lately Indonesia seems to be facing one natural disasters after another. Still recovering from Tsunami, they had earthquake after quake and now the Garuda flight disaster. Life were taken, folks lost their home and nothing left to their name. When the latest earthquake strike Indonesia, I could actually feel the slight tremor at work. Immediately, a thought cross my mind .. Oh Gawd not another earthquake. Couple of the girls at work thought it was funny and giggling. One of them was even stupid enough to comment.. Oh I hope there's another tremor that was fun. I'm like WTF is wrong with this bitch. Someone else misfortune is her idea of fun?!! Can folks be that insensitive? I was mad... really mad.. but I hold my tongue, cuz I know this bitch going to think I'm trippin. I had to walk away from my cubicle and woo sahhhhh shaking my head at the same time.

I wonder if that bitch ever say her blessing for the good life she living. I remembers my dad telling me.. for each misfortune we faced, someone out there in a worst situation. For each good fortune we have, someone out there have it more. He thought me to be thankful, for what little we have. He told me to keep my feet firmly on the ground. My life may not be the way I wish it to be, I may not have everything in life but still I am bless nonetheless, for what I have now. My Mom, my health, my ol IBM laptop and couple of friends that I could count by my right fingers...lol.

I'm thankful.
