Ari's life journey

Dear life,
I woke up still feeling quite sleepy this morning, maybe because I came home very late last night. I managed to read some pages of Onno W. Purbo's Apache Web Server book though. But, I slept in the server room on lunch time. Hahaha... it helped. It's very interesting, how the GNU license program makes Apache as the most used server in the world. With this license, people can use the program freely and even modify it, as long as they give other people the freedom to change the program, too. I believe, open system programs such as Linux, FreeBSD, dan Apache will eventually dominate the market if Microsoft keeps its way of doing business like it does now.

Anyway, I joined Master Web Indonesia community and made some good friends there. We often chat in MWI's official IRC channel, exchanging some web design knowledges, making fun of each others, giving support when someone has problem, etc. In short, we are like family. Some of my good friends are: botakgila, devil|ray, defftones, rahsy, gi4nt, bemby, dogfight, ramsy, labalaba, and ganja_man. Devil|ray is coming home next month, we promise to meet once he's in Jakarta to talk about something.

Have you seen Richie Ren and Cecilia Cheung's movie "Fly Me to Polaris"? On one of the scene, Richie Ren said, "Sometimes if we see the world with our eyes, we become hungry and want to possess what we see. So, in this moment, let us close our eyes for just a moment and try to see the world with our heart." Hmmm... maybe this is what I feel when I chat with my friends in IRC. We only know each other by nickname, but yet, the friendship is so strong. Maybe this is because we only see words after words typed on a plain white screen of our monitors. Shapeless and soundless. However, this abstract interaction makes the relationship pure and simple. Free of status differences, physical attraction, social masks, etc.

I met her again tonight in MSN Messenger. I tried to tell her the story of "Fly Me to Polaris". Hehehe.. it seemed the story was just too long and she didn't have the chance to hear it completely. Well, never mind. I hope someday I can see the movie together with her. It's a very romantic movie and I'm sure she'll like it, too.


Tonight I got this wonderful lyric from Sam :

And if I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if i get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk
And if I need some other love again
Give me more than I can stand
When my smile gets old and faded
Wait around I'll smile again

Shouldn't be so complicated
Just hold me and then just hold me again
