Talk about rat’s ass

I believe when we were born, we’re given so many rat’s asses. Because when you were born, everyone paid attention to you. Every single person who visited the newly born you gave a rat’s ass about you. Those were the rat’s asses you collect and use up in your daily life until now.

And then as you grow bigger and older you unconsciously allocate those rat’s asses for people who matters to you. Your family, friends and of course, lover.

But let’s get the fact straight: you have plenty of rat’s asses to giveaway, but still it’s countable and you WILL run out of it someday.

When you run out of rat’s asses, restock. How? Make people give a rat’s ass about you.

PS. Pardon the mood, it’s the holiday mood. The down side of living in Bali is, you can’t go to bali on holidays. Plus it gets very frickin crowded here I could barely walk on Kuta Beach.

#Priceless

That word reminds me of some credit card commercial, but that’s not what this is about.

#Priceless is a project we’re having on twitter where we share a story about our priceless moments everyday. One tweet a day, tag it with #priceless. By far some of the guys have joined the fun, and you should too! :)

My first was,

I am in bed with my granny, she is telling me stories about life.

I don’t know how old granny is, but I do know that she’s been around since I was small (ya iyalah). I’ve always been her favorite grandson from her favorite daughter, she stayed with our family since I was born for almost three years.

Granny’s a nomad, since she has ten kids that lives in the island she is given freedom of where she’d like to stay. She usually stays at an uncle’s place for 6 months and then moved to another uncle. She started living nomad since Grandpa died, that was thirteen years ago. I guess she just couldn’t bear to live and sleep in the same bed where her late husband used to sleep. That must’ve hurt like shit, being left like that. Divine intervention sucks.

Given the fact I am her favorite grandson and Mom is her favorite daughter, she really enjoyed living with us. We had this little green field where she used to plant flowers and stuffs, she loves gardening.

When we moved house, her eldest son took granny to live with him in Singaraja to live in her real house. Haven’t seen her often since that, only once in a while when I go there in Galungan and Kuningan. Now she is back in Denpasar because she is sick :(

I visited her this morning when I tweeted the #priceless, I was in bed with her (shit, that sounds dirty, jangan dibahas lah!). She was telling me stories about life, including me when I was a kid, mom when she was still young and stuffs like that. I realized that she’s been thru a lot, and now I know when someone is getting older, they behave like a kid again.

Granny’s old, she’s been thru a lot and she deserves the best treatment there is. This is the part where me and the rest of the family come in. I wish she asked to stay at my house so me and mom can take care of her and she can go gardening again just like she always did.

For now, I will be there for her as she was there for me. Love ya granny!

December Updates

Wow, the year’s ending! Time to review the things I’ve done this year, but first things first, the updates.

I am now using the theme I created two years ago, codename _minima. When I first created the theme I never thought it’d be future proof but here it is now, back alive with only minimal editing (long time readers might notice the header is changed). Tada!

I might come up with another theme soon, utilizing Wordpress 2.7’s new features. Excited!

Also, as some might have noticed, stuffs under the hood has changed as well. I’m on WP 2.7 now.

Dashboard is stunning, stuffs are well placed, this is just awesome. Props to the dev team for making it happen. Everyone should turn on the turbo feature, that speeds up the entire blogging experience. Me love!

Now on to the stuffs I’ve done this year. Wow there’s a bunch of them! Will write in the next post then :p
