nemesis

today my nemesis sent me an invitation card to some kind of party. what a shit! after those years of betrayal and injustices, that person even had an idea to invite me! yeah, sure positive thinking. well, go to hell.

people revolution

through my short life so far, I've been witnessed a score of people revolution or rather people power that brought their tyrannies to their knee. those revolution had involved no serious fire power from the people. there were death, of course. from what I can recalled, there was the such victory in Iran (1979) and the Philippine, in the 1986. then the same thing happened in Romania (1989), Soviet Union (1991), Indonesia (1998), Nepal (2008), Tunisia (2011), Egypt (2011). of course there were also bloody revolution.

I would never know how is the people of such countries feel today. I can only suggest that they must be feeling some kind of freedom. may be.

UK's media frenzy: parliamentary hearings

I watched the proceeding involving the Murdochs on the internet yesterday. it was my first time for watching such proceeding. in my country there is no such event. even parliament session is only aired half an hour daily. after which there will be a talk show between  TV station presenter and usually backbenchers. and of course, you will never want to watch that 'talk show'.

I eager to watch how the Murdochs do it to learn how people at the top level interacted. I watch some of it. but what the heck, my internet connection isn't that good. so I just shut down my pc and do something else!

people: decision making

I had a meeting today. there's one observation: there are people who like to change things arbitrarily. when confronted, they will said "this is my thinking...". sure enough that person is seemed to take responsibility on the decision, but is he? how about is you're the superior and ultimately you'll be responsible. why change when the current things is ok and there's no apparent reason to do that.

UK's media frenzy

there are certainly something rotten in the media houses in the UK. but at least I can see that corporate power can be brought down to its knee by people power. provided, of course, their political master isn't meddle. but even that is the case, with the free flow of information, both the corporate and the politician, can be brought down.

hail the people.
