Journal #1 2009

CHANGE

Let me start talking with you about the latest significant changes happened last decade. First of all, people got used to have a social network to connect their friends and families. Most famous of those now a days is the phenomenal “Facebook” that boosts rapidly and makes all most all people in the Earth whether young or old, men or women has an individual account. It has as well positive and negative effects to the society. Different physiologist has different point of views, but for me I would still go along with the great essence of “Facebook” in this society mainly because it has been very helpful for me especially regarding about my constant connection in no time to my families back in my hometown. In other words, I don’t need to spend that much just to have a long distance conversation; but instead I simply just connect to a wireless connection using my personal laptop and technically I can travel across the globe by just sitting down.

I know most people if you would ask them what is “iphone”, “Blackberry”, and “Nokia Eseries”, they will probably answer you back; “you must be that wealthy enough to grab on those majestic and fascinating phones”. Technology is changing too fast and with these current technologies out in the market, in my opinion anything can happen in the future. I salute myself for being a human being which I knew the one who creates those cyber things is as the same creature as me. Since the revolution of Industrial market begun, you can noticed the factories, large beacon of machines, robots instead of human force, and worse nuclear powers can just be seen anywhere across the globe. This unfortunately caused an imaginable chaos to our dearest home, Earth. It is commonly called “Global Warming” which scientists explain the Earth is becoming warmer and warmer as years pass by because of the chemical called “Carbon Dioxide” created by humans more than they need it. In my thought this unexpected circumstances really happened because of people are getting greedy instead of getting helpful. They fight for power, pride, and integrity. Sad to say, most of us forgot to fight for freedom, peace, and love. However, from what I have read apparently on the newspapers main countries like USA, Germany, France, Great Britain, and Japan has been made an action such as using nature friendly tools, palnting more trees, manage the nuclear plans, using passive source of electricity, and many more just to prevent the total damage to the Earth.

This last topic about change I would eagerly want to share is how I have changed since I came here to study in Sabah. From the very first step I made when I stepped this land, I knew automatically that I need to adjust my lifestyle and start to live independently. I started to learn how to wash my own clothes, how to cook food for me, how to laundry and iron my clothes, how to handle may financial budget, how to make important decisions, and most of all how to act maturely before I face this cruel world. Life in KK will be one of my most unforgettable pages of my life. It hasn’t only taught me how to stand on my own feet; it also had been made me realized to foresee life greater than I thought it would be. I can say I am a better man now unlike the childish kid yesterday. Great things happen in a blink of an eye, so I promised to myself that I would never stop from growing and change in a good side. Being stuck in the world of unchanged and stable will not make you who you really are. It’s good to live in a world of impermanent and changeable things simply because it will let you experience what life is. So for those who are reading this- make a change and leave a mark that will be remembered for a lifetime.
