Poker face at work

It has been a tired weekend, while everyone i know might enjoy their weekend like reading books, watching movies, night outs, or simply doing nothing in their weekend, here i am wrking my ass off driving my truck 480km straight out in two days, hauling rice sacks from the field to the grinder and to the truck and driving them straight from the village to the big city to be sold on the weekdays. how my life come to this, was a big surprise anyway…didnt plan this, it just happend and it start nearly a year now.

good thing, i love to drive my truck, if i stay with the other jeep, i might throw up all the way. btw my truck stink now hehe not many owner of that kind of truck in jakarta really ever do what i did to that truck, but hey i guess it is what a truck build for, right!

i hope business should going good for now, the trend show it is on the right track but i still remember a words like ’shit do happend’ and it is happening for me more than what i hope for..so i just hope that ’shit’ never happend to this business that i do now.

The good thing of being farmer/trader/marketer/land owner is that you get out of the office a lot and you did spend more time out door than indoor. it gives me a time to appriciate what god have created for us, such as a green earth, air to breath, water to drink, plant to eat, shit (manure) make our plant healthy and how sad it is to see that man (women) take it for granted and sometimes act arrogantly by destroy it for a short gain without looking at the long term effect on what they did. hey i never think like this until i am doing this farmer thing and realise how fragile we are and how depended we are to this earth. before i never think that water is truely that essensial until i am trying to keep my field with enough water to survive the dry seasons. i never think that human and animal excrement was such a sweet and sort after goods until i try to keep my chily plant getting enough food to last until it is the harvest time.

The sad part is i also took a notice that human have the ability to help them self from poverty but not many want to do that. when i said ‘let them poor’ when i look on a begger in the street, many thinks that i am cruel and not understanding to other miss fortune. but by doing farming, i realise that god gives us a way to better our self regarding whatever our situations.

but again it is up to us to change our destiny, doing this owning/farming/marketing is not an easy things to do..other might look at me and said ‘ahh you are lucky, if i was on your shoes i will be able to do that too’. but it aint like that at all. i taught it will be like that but it do need your strong will to excel and think on how to work with something you have and not think of something you dont have.

anyway, when i write this blog..i also do internet poker hehe so i am sorry if one story is not relating to others since it depend on what is my state in the poker game :)
