resolution
ok, i 
said it last year that i will postpone my new year's resolution till chinese new year. and in about a week the year of the pig will kick in, so i think i will make my resolution. but, just for the record, i think pigs are cute and although my snake chinese zodiac dont go well together with the pig sign, i dont eat pig. its an unclean meat according to the bible and in comparison to other meats, pork is comparatively less pure because of the scavenging and slothful life style of the animals from which it comes. ok, maybe i exaggerate a bit, but who cares this is my blog. :)
back to my resolution, this year im going to donate more to organizations that i care most including the humane society. the one thing that makes america the greatest country in the world is that the people (not government) are so generous. americans give more per capita than any other country in the world. or maybe not. but, thats what i commit myself to do more.
im not sure why, but lately if you mention the name indonesia, its synonymous with the word disaster. tsunami, volcanic eruption, landslide, missing ferry/airplanes, earthquake, and now flooding. its a well known fact that indonesia is one of the most corrupted
country in the world. does it have anything to do with the disasters that happened lately? well, of course yes! punishment from god? i dont know, but if you can bribe the government to do whatever you please including mowing down all the vegetation to hold off rivers and canals from overflowing, yes disaster is directly correlated with corruption. if the people who run the government are too busy to enrich their pockets and ignoring to create a better infrastructure for slowing down the impact of natural disaster and build better warning system to alert people before it gets worse, yes disaster is directly correlated with corruption.
giving is directly correlate with blessing. the more we give, the more we will get back in return.

So nice to read your resolution :D.
Instead of giving more money, why don't give your time and energy?
ok, good idea.
here is the thing, i don't know you personally, but let's say i wanna give you something which one do you prefer my money, my time, or my energy?
Considering my situation at the moment... I'll pick the time, heheehehe.....
Or maybe.... its depends on the ammount of cash. But generally speaking, I feel that too many people giving too much money to be absorbed safely by the society.
An article I just read gave the example of this situation. So many developed country gives international aids for fighting AIDS/HIV, by administering the so called medicine that can prolong the life expentancy of HIV positive. The goals? Certain number of people treated in Africa in a year.
IN the process, they are taking sooo much healthcare professionals, and with attrative paycheck, so that little profesionals left to take care of other aspect of health. IN this case, I will surely pick the time and energy instead of financial help.
