Payakumbuh: The town where I grew up
Feels like yesterday when I was still in white and gray uniform studying in Senior High School. It was the last year where I was living in the town where I grew up: a small town named Payakumbuh. It was not a big town, but it’s now growing, faster than I predicted. I was born when this town was 15 years old. I spent my first 18 years in this town with family. Soon after being graduated from Senior High School, I went to university to study pharmacy, and then studied it again after having a bachelor degree. Ya, it’s been 8 years for me to live 150 k away from my home town.
Payakumbuh: where the story began
It’s still fresh in my mind what my home town looked like when I was a kid. The rocky street was still everywhere, and sometimes with big and deep holes. Our house was not even supplied with public electricity until the early 1990’s. Public transportation was a kind of expensive thing to use that we just went everywhere by foot, or bicycle at most. That was why I played somewhere not far enough from my house: playing football in the afternoon near the house, or perhaps just for hide and seek with a few friends. I and most of the kids counted on walks to go to school. I am also permanently reminded something about television. In my village, there was only

Having been born as a human is a great deal as each of us was the champion. Champion who defeated million other competitors, challenged the death, then came to be the winner. Ya, that was a kind of great competition where each participants had the same opportunity to win, the same speed, the same “parent”, the same track, and the same finish line. That’s really a fair play where no one cheated others. And finally, the one who came up was the champion. Ya, I am the one, you are the one, and we are all the one: The real champion
The winner in that kind of competition is somelike a great champion with great talents. We can never deny it. We got talents.
I feel I have so many talents. I won’t spell ’em here 🙂 But my whole life has proven it. I got talent A, talent B, talent C, and even to talent Z. I don’t think that I ‘ll be so talented like that. My historical background don’t give any sign that I would be so talented. I am just proud and thank God for those less-employed talents.
Anyway, my hidden talent which I consider my greatest talent is TO HIDE MY ENTIRE TALENTS AND NOT TO SHOW OFF 😆
So, what talents do you have…?

Weekly Photo Challenge: Abundance
The 4th Weekly Photo Challenge is a kind of difficult topic for me –> Abundance. The word “abundance” isn’t quite familiar for me, until then I found it in The Daily Post, and here is my weekly photo:
Don’t you think that it’s amazing and

I always try to deny someone that call me a busy man. Ya, I am not a busy man. I am free, relax, easy going, and no offense. But, the outlook of friends around me puts me as the busiest man of the year, the year before, and the following year, haha… 😆
Anyway, I don’t have something to waste my time, so to speak. Eventhough we are different in the way we define “busy”, “something to waste time”, or perhaps “what’s proper to do and not to do”, etc, I just do things that are far from useless *at least from my personal view. Overall, I always try to make something right on schedule, including about when to be awake doing things, and when to take a rest.
Sometimes, frankly speaking, I can’t help my self to be
