on These Things We Cannot Change

Celebrate we will
Because life is short but sweet for certain
Were climbing two by two
To be sure these days continue,
These things we cannot change
~Two Steps, Dave Matthews

Sometimes, I just sitting on my desk, looking outside, trying to think of nothing and listening to Dave Matthews. Love, you drive me to distraction. There’s a yellow Lamborghini parked at Loewy and the weather is looking fabulous from up here.

My view from this office looked into the Jakarta business district. The buildings are generally just spaced two rows deep, nothing like Hong Kong or Singapore. There are almost no tall buildings between Sudirman and Kuningan beyond Mal Ambassador. Red clay roofs and occasional green patches in random sequence. Every so often, minarets mark the neighborhoods slowly fading and humbled to irrelevance. Shame it’s so dirty cause otherwise it’ll be nice to actually walk about outside for a bit.

I’m having a relatively easy day with a few papers to write and half a dozen other mini errands to do throughout the day. The work documents are easy though I’m having a hard time concentrating. Having spoken to a few other Jedis in the last week, I’ve decided to really put in sometime in working on the script. I’m thinking of getting involved seriously though the consequences are unclear at this point. At the moment, i just enjoy writing it.
The rest of the week looks promising and just as pleasant.

There are a few political networking events and a few other meet and greet sessions this week, I’m not sure why I’m doing it but it’s probably a good idea to socialize a little more these days. I have been too much of a hermit and my life’s been a little too boring recently. Apart from regular work and the script work I’m also taking on one new funny assignment. I can’t say much about this last one except that it’s terribly exciting and I will be traveling a little bit for it.

Just like Jakarta, just as I am writing this, the day turns into a mess and it’s all gray and yuck with the now-climate-adapted regular variety tropical thunderstorm. Blah.

Have a good Tuesday, all.
