Happy New Year.
Either that’s for Gregorian Calendar of Chinese calendar, I’m still celebrating. This is my first writing in 2009. Nothing too special happen, just me having a cat name Kuru, I’m in relationship again and I got this job in which I love doing. I don’t want to start my year by making how dramatic how my life could be. Or hoping too high. Or get too excited. I’m just making my steps in the horizon in a modest way. That’s what the world is all about now. The global crisis, the killing spree in Gaza, Obama taste his first Air Force One, that’s only the pink and green sprinkles on top of the globe.
My life running in a highway where lotsa things running in there too, in 
a positive way making me don’t run too fast giving me time to think where I’m heading. It’s 49 minutes past 10 pm as I sat in this dim room, listening to Michael Jackson’s in Bossa Moments CD. I gotta wake early in the morning tomorrow, doing my routine gym and then off to work. It’s deadline week so I got a lotta things to do. To be honest, it’s part of my fault to delay things and I have a bad time management system. Not like my boss.
My boss is a firm woman. A discipline individual where she likes to control everything and everyone. I likes her way of managing people, she knows what she want and when she wants it. Sometimes people may feel over-powered when they met her on the first time. Yes, she has this charismatic way of saying “I can see you. I will control you” in a very mannered way. She’s also fair to her staff. When she likes their job, she giving compliments in the nicest way. But when someone did wrong, there goes her claw and teeth of words to that person. Then she apologize if she thinks she’s overreacting.
I respect her as a superior, I care for her as her friend, I feel sorry for her as a human. Sometimes she feels she’s a rock when inside she’s a butterfly. She wants people to see her tough. I can understand of what she has been going through, plus her ambition drove her engine running full speed while working. But sometimes we should understand our limit as a human. In either way, it’s her choice and she has her own reason to do that. I still respect her and part of me want to have her positive attitude.
Today it was raining hard as hell. Can you imagine at eight in the morning the rain pour down like it never rained before? I drove my scooter to office as usual, with raincoat ready and plugged my ear with iPod. It was quite nice and supporting by playing songs that are perfect for that moment: Jamie Cullum - Singing in the Rain, Ray Charles - Raining in Georgia, Aisha Duo - Despertar. It’s a bit weird as if it knows my mood and situation and picked the right song to play in the playlist. It knows me so very well.
Sometimes my iPod talking to me when I’m alone and full of thoughts. It told me things that really helpful and lifting my mood. I just wonder am I adjusting to my mood to my iPod or it adjusting its songs to my mood? It never let me down, I carried it everywhere: to the gym, when I’m driving, when I’m alone, when I’m on the bus or when I just need someone to cheer me up. It never let me down in every moment. It said to me: “Life is just like a playlist, you never know what its playing next but you know is the right music for you.”

Hi, Better! It’s been a while since I checked my friendster…
Reading your blog was great. You have a good way of articulating complex and mundane things.
I liked the way you wrote about your boss… I have met quite a few and was actually like one.
I have since transformed my lifestyle to something opposite my management world of almost a decade.
I have a more laid back life now, biking for a living.
Keep writing some more. You have a lot of readers waiting for your blogs.
Happy new year… namaste!
@ Mia: You are so very welcome. Thank you so much for reading my blog
