We have it all now

Well, not exactly. As the saying goes, one wants his cake and eat it too. But sometimes there are things that stop us from sinking our teeth into the sweet savoury (insert cake of choice). Or perhaps an even more pathetic situation would be finding your plate empty. No cake.

But if the plate was a city by the name of Jogja, and what is available on the buffet table are natural disasters, this old city with a rich and strong Javanese tradition, certainly has one too many things on its plate now.

A very much active volcano that has erased a few hamlets from existence in its history, an earthquake that leveled 90% of the southern regency, and now... there are whirlwinds. One of which tore through the Gadjah Mada campus, uprooting poles, trees, snapping them into half, ...

Anyway back to the topic of cakes. Well, there is one now. But yet I am hesitant to really take a bite. Is it really because I don't want to, or sub-consciously I want to but am afraid and fearful. This is probably just the same old problem rehashed over and over again. And oddly enough, experience has not made me any wiser in making decisions like this. Guess I'll just go with the flow and not think too much.

If only it was that easy eh?
