Grateful

At the moment, I read many Javanese historical novels. Last night I just finished Jaka Tingkir. And I started on Sanggrama Wijaya this morning. But no matter how many times I tried to visualise how those people lived many centuries ago, I can't. Well, sure I got the idea, but what I mean is I won't be able to emulate their way of life. Imagine, no BlackBerries, no internet, no Twitter, no Facebook. My God. Fine, that's kinda over the top, yeah? Let's just imagine life without personal showers, or bathtub as we know it. Or how about public transportations. Or motorcycles, and all other today's conveniences. *Biting fingers*

Hell no!How would you toast your breads perfectly if there were no toasters? And slather the fresh-from-the-fridge-butter. And top it off with the also fresh-from-the-fridge fruit jams. And instant coffee. And tea bags. And low calorie sugar. Then have your drink easily from a water dispenser. How about cooking with a gas stove. You don't need to chop wood for cooking. Then washing the utensils in the sinks using tap water. When you're done with house chores, you drive your car to the mall, the place where you can find everything. Whether it's for grocery shopping, buying new outfits, repairing your diamond encrusted watch, or just to sip your favorite gourmet coffee while browsing with your notebook. And not to forget is the existence of Facebook, Netlog, MySpace, and all those networking tools. Chatting with your friend or family who are on the other side of the world with just taps of your fingers on the keyboard. Oh, I forgot. You don't need those big laptop anymore as there are already the beautiful things called BlackBerries and i-Phones. Sheesh... I love my world! :p

Right, I don't think I need to continue now. Have so much to be grateful for. Again, I love my world. Hehee...
