On being overwhelmed

To all of you who saw the BBC post of this 90 year old blogger and took the time to write me from all over the world: I, from whose mouth and fingers words usually pour out, I am nigh on to speechless.Thank you, thank you everyone.

And thanks to Daniel Sieberg and his crew for such sensitive editing... and for wanting to come to Columbus to meet DG and me in the first place.

I knew that the media's reach was far and wide --but the speed in which I got comments from all over the world was incredible.

Extreme weather

We have extreme weather in here, day by day we have rain, perhaps in the morning or evening, from low to high intensity with heavy wind sometimes. Usually we get rainy season in November, but for this year we almost not have dry season, start in September we enter Autumn, I can see my plants only left a few leaves on its branches, with many rain we have, most of our farmer get lost of their crops, our government make import some of our main food ( rice ) from other countries, like from Vietnam.

I heard information said that with this heavy rain some of the countries like Pakistan and China have flood and take many casualties and victim, in our Papua province the slide / land fall killed some people and make some injuries.  

If we have a lot of rain, we will get traffic jammed and some areas get flood, workers will back to their home very late.

This rain comes from the result of La nina process, the cold weather in South sea rise and move to Northern side, this weather change making some Hurricane in the Philippine island and Eastern China. Everywhere we have climate change.

Souvenir from Radio Japan NHK World

Last week I received letters from Radio Japan NHK World - Indonesian programs, it contains postcard photos too, The NHK World has birthday in August for 75 years anniversary. Next time I will post the postcard photos for you. Thank you NHK.

I heard there' s a tight budget policy for VOA that impact to our Indonesian programs shortwave Radio and other languages, it will not broadcast their programs forever in coming soon ( end of this October 2010 ). We only can hear their broadcast on computer via internet connection, point to their website : www.voaindonesia.com . VOA Indonesia start on air in 1942 and now they are ready to close their program in shortwave.

It' s also happen already to BBC - Indonesian programs last July, its broadcast stop on air every Saturday and Sunday, only on air in five days, it is because the same condition, no enough money in their government' s, so they cut several programs to reduce high cost of this overseas Radio station broadcast.

Radio Singapore International - Indonesian programs has already not on air some years ago. In Europe and several countries in Asia start in November they change their frequencies from Summer frequencies to Winter frequencies, from upper side band to lower side band following our Solar system movement,  like Radio Deutshe Welle, Radio Canada International and Radio NHK World.

Many stories which I want to tell

Oh yes, for several weeks I do not post anything to my blog, ....... well, ....... I get some trouble with some people, it is about our electricity, ........ yes our electricity, in Indonesia the Electricity company hold by government under the name of PLN ( Perusahaan Listrik Negara / Government Electricity Co ), they said to me that I didn' t pay for my electricity bill for 4 months ( July, August, September and this month ), they come to my home to take all the electricity component which belong' s to their company ( the electricity box, cables ) ....... it' s very ridiculous !, impossible !, how can I ' m not paying the electricity bill ?, it' s automatically will payed by my Bank, I use autodebit service via my Bank, and the deposit amount can' t take under limit of the bills, the cash amount is already there. How could they talk like that to me ?. 

It' s happen twice, in September & this month ( early October ), after I had hard talk to their manager and their staff, and after I give them some proof letter from my Bank, finally they accepted all the bills that I payed truly by my Bank - debit account.

After that I forced them to understand that they should responsible for these all, this all was their work, this is their fault, they tried to cheat me, they' re trying to steal my money, they should pay the debt interest which appear because they make my automatic payment by Bank can' t pay normally every month ( I payed for many years use of this service Bank and no have problem yet ). Finally they pay the debt interest which they make it by theirself.

I see this is because of they bribed by somebody who want to make me difficult in life, they all corrupt people. Someone who have much money and power tried to eliminate me.

This situation make me annoyed for weeks, meet this evil people make me not want to post anything for several weeks, I' m not happy to write my Blogsite.

And for this time I want to change my Font to Times and my Text size change to Large because I see Google make changes again for its Blogsite style, it' s different than before, usually I use Lucinda Grande for its font but now Google draw from their service.

The President declared the end of combat operations in Iraq

Remarks by President Barack Obama in an address to the nation
on the end of combat operations in Iraq

Oval Office
8:00 P.M. EDT / August 31, 2010.

THE PRESIDENT : Good evening. Tonight, I’d like to talk to you about the end of our combat mission in Iraq, the ongoing security challenges we face, and the need to rebuild our nation here at home.

I know this historic moment comes at a time of great uncertainty for many Americans. We’ve now been through nearly a decade of war. We’ve endured a long and painful recession. And sometimes in the midst of these storms, the future that we’re trying to build for our nation — a future of lasting peace and long-term prosperity — may seem beyond our reach.

But this milestone should serve as a reminder to all Americans that the future is ours to shape if we move forward with confidence and commitment. It should also serve as a message to the world that the United States of America intends to sustain and strengthen our leadership in this young century.

From this desk, seven and a half years ago, President Bush announced the beginning of military operations in Iraq. Much has changed since that night. A war to disarm a state became a fight against an insurgency. Terrorism and sectarian warfare threatened to tear Iraq apart. Thousands of Americans gave their lives; tens of thousands have been wounded. Our relations abroad were strained. Our unity at home was tested.

PT. BUMI ResourceS Tbk.'s proverb

- If everyday is an awakening, you will never grow old. You will just keep growing.

- Man can no longer live for himself alone. We must realize that all life is valuable and that we are united to all life.

- Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven.

- He who has health, has hope. And he who has hope, has everything.

- Every man's ability may be strengthened or increased by culture.

New Financial regulation Bill

President Barack Obama signed the new US Financial market regulations into law yesterday ( July 21 ), this new regulation appear because US economy have many crisis according many risk instrument plays in the financial market like : Credit cards, mortgages, stocks & money market, derivatives, loans, insurance, etc. and finally hit in 2007 / 2008, the crisis start from America but the impact of that economy crisis spread to the other countries, many companies close and many people lost their jobs.

Afraid of tragedy like the Great Depression in 1930' s, Obama administration' s prepare and set this new regulation, the President says : " The American people will never again be asked to foot the bill for Wall Street' s mistakes ", then Mr. Obama said : " There will be no more taxpayer funded bailouts. Period. "

This regulation have 2300 page bill, all of us are waiting this law into practice, others says : " It was a good step toward in a new financial system ". 

I hope other country will follow next and the crisis can not repeat again. We always learn how to make something better than before after we get fall and making errors.
