Justin Hall, who is he?

Ever heard about Justin Hall?

He's the pioneer of all bloggers.
He's the first Web diarists.

It was started when he was 20 years old and still a student in Swathorne college.
He made a homepage of his own and wrote in it about his life,
and the most private sides of him.
He wrote about his father who committed suicide when he was 8 years old, his school friends, even his sexual biography. Phew!

For eleven years, he posted more than 4800 pages in his homepage.
From what I have counted, in my conclusion, he published more than one page everyday for eleven years....

(It's not an entry anymore.It's a PAGE!)

Did he do something useless?
Or maybe some people will comment: "Like there's no other thing to do..."

Everybody could have their opinion about Justin,
But no one can deny the fact that what he did had made a worldwide effect.

Nowadays, millions peoples in the world became a blogger (and the number keep increases every minute...).
Let me say that there are more than two millions of active-users and almost 400 new entries are posted every minute in livejournal website.
It's only one example, dont forget to mention other similar website like blogspot, wordpress, or blog features in friendster, ect, ect.....

I imagined, what if someone suddenly tells to Justin in summer 1994 that what he did at that time will followed by million peoples ten years later?
He probably will say:
"You are crazy...." then he will laugh and shake his head.


I dont admire Justin Hall as a person,
but I've learnt something from him.

If you want to do something,
although it's simple (or better if it's UNIQUE),
but you are focus in it and do it with totality,
you will achieve something BIG from what you do,
or even inspiring others...

Look at Justin,
by made people blogging,
he could inspired many peoples indirectly from those bloggers' writing ;p

One more thing,
Justin is the only person who has reasons to laugh at bloggers albeit the quality of their writings (even the most uplifting one!) and say:
"Others can only follow!"

Someday I'll know

It's been two days since I've been playing and listening to this song over and over again from my mp4:

Someday we'll know
If love can move a mountain
Someday we'll know
Why the sky is blue
Someday we'll know
Why I wasn't meant for you

Someday we'll know
Why Samson loved Delilah
One day I'll go
Dancing on the moon
Someday you'll know
That I was the one for you

I bought a ticket to the end of the rainbow
Watched the stars crash in the sea
If I could ask God just one question
Why aren't you here with me tonight?

(Mandy Moore and Jonathan Foreman)

Yah... I hope someday I'll know the answers of the questions that have been wandering in my mind recently,
or the end of "this story" that have been going in my life....
Sometimes I have silly thoughts like what if I could ask God: "God, can I cheat? I really want to peek the ending.Or be a spoiler to my story? Just a little bit. I'm so curious where all this things will lead me into..."

My friend said to me yesterday:
"Some people said that there's no coincidence in life, everything that ever happened to us was meant something and it's already predestined..."

Her words made me remembering quote from one of my favorite movies:
Life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. But rather, its a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan....

Rainy Phase

I live in a country which lies in equator line.
Hahaha.

So I only know the weather in two words:
Sunny
or
Rainny.

That's booriiingggg.

But it resembles cycle of life a little bit,
Life is also either "Sunny" or "Rainy".

Now I'm in "Rainy phase".
Actually I want to have my "lunch outside",
but that "rain drops" are "keep falling" heavily....
So I just sat down and stared to "window" in "my room",
and became a "hunger"

And I'm asking my self,
Why I didn't buy my "lunch" when it's still "sunny"....

Do I regret it?
Kinda.

Serendipity

Serendipity is....

the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely.

Serendipity is...

putting a quarter in the gumball machine and having three pieces come rattling out instead of one—all red.

Serendipity is...

looking in a haystack for a needle and discovering a farmer's daughter.

Serendipity is...

Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you’ve found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for.

Serendipity is....

when you find things you weren't looking for because finding what you are looking for is so damned difficult.

Hmmm...
I never think it would occurred to me.
Why did it happen?
Was it merely a coincidence or was there something else?


Two thoughts crossed my mind:
Fate is a funny thing and the world is (actually) so small...
