我要讲故事!

from jakarta to depok by car with my dad

lessons i've learned:
-it's stupid being famous for what you consume and not what you produce
-the reason our country looks down on people who works in the culture area and look up to people like lawyers and other jobs that shower you with moolah is because indonesia is a developing country. people who earn high, get high respects
-again, it's stupid being famous for what you consume, not what you produce

lately i've been thinking, i think i'm going to drop luxury. i feel like living low, seriously. i don't know what's got into me but it's been going for some time. i no longer enjoy browsing through clothes at those oh so popular shops we so often visit, and the more money i spend for unnecessary luxury, the more guilty i feel for the people i see on the train and around the station.  there are still a gazillion more people in need and i'm not wasting my money on junk when i know those exact money could help them a lot. and i've also realized that money just gives you more trouble than happiness. so i think i'm dropping luxury as much as possible. i know maybe this isn't going to be easy. so maybe i sound like i'm bullshitting cause of the fact i just got a new blackberry and that buying brands has sort of kind of been a part of my life,  tp those are all just 'marks' left from the past. i'm sure i can drop it off little by little. 

somehow, i'm sure i'll be even happier then
