My Treo used as stress therapy

Men may make plans, but it's Him up there; who will decide whether the plans should be carried out or not...

And thus that wise saying above, has been very appropiate for my condition right now. At this afternoon, after I've done all the works at different places and time; I finally headed back to my cousin's house to rest.


I had planned that I'll finish up the blogs I've been preparing since three days ago, where finally I'll be able to borrow my cousin's computer to do so. So I shifted the gears of the car as fast as I can, push down the gas pedal as much as I could; and passed all the cars ahead me like I was racing in Formula 1 race. ;-)

But suddenly I had to slow down, and started to move at only 20km/hour speed. And then not for long, the traffic stopped moving at all. And it stayed like that for more than 1,5 hours!! It drove me crazy like a mad man, because there's nothing that I could do to get out of there; I was stuck like a sausage slapped inside two layer of hotdog buns! I know that Jakarta, the capital of my home country: Indonesia, is common with traffic jams. But this one is ridiculous, since it happened at Saturday where no offices are open today.

Before the stress got to my nerve system while waiting, I quickly turn myself to my Treo. I tried to take my mind else where, with reading RSS news or playing games with it. I even tried to finish a blog, but since the traffic was moving but with snail pace; so it's impossible to concentrate. So I decided to write a blog about this traffic-"madness" instead, perhaps I can channel my frustration... Nevertheless, thank goodness I stil have my Treo with me. It sure did its job as a reliable companion on the road, and I've used up the juice of its battery to the last drop.

I'm tired like a hamster tired from running of that wheel all day long, I felt like I could sleep on the wheel just like that hamster sleep so comfortably in its wheel (pictured right). ;-p And that's what I'm gonna do when I got back, hopefully I'll recharge my strength to continue writing blogs tomorrow. Because there are lots of mobile news I wish to discuss, so I'm going to full throttle all of them tomorrow (finger crossed and pray He will let me be) ;-D

Even if tomorrow my tired eyes are forcing down the lids, or if my body is screaming for more rest; I'll push them to give out a little bit more than they usually can. Because the news were too interesting to be passed, and I love sharing it with you; my dear readers. Yes you, who've always visited this personal weblog of mine, and you who also love to visit Palm Addict weblog. Thank you, thank you again for your support.

Plus, tomorrow is my only chance to borrow my cousin's computer because the children won't be using it at Sunday. Now I'm really regretting that I've sold my ~broken~ ThinkPad laptop...
