March 5, 2007, I uploaded a caution in my paintings homepage to remind the visitors that my homepage contains no paranormal activities. Such caution attached on top of page 3of my 2006 paintings, and later also attached on the index. Yesterday, Sunday March 25, 2007, on Fox News TV there was the news ticker about White House Press Secretary Tony Snow undergoing surgery Monday to remove a growth in his lower abdomen, a procedure he said was being done 'out of an aggressive sense of caution' because he had colon cancer two years ago. I have no idea whether the word ‘caution’ on the news ticker has anything to do with my using the word ‘caution’ in my homepage a few days earlier.

Around the year 1972, when I was in the first year of junior high school, I happened to receive a brochure about some books from the U.S., among them was the book of ‘4400 Guitar Cord’. A friend of mine Raidy Noor who likes to play guitar was interested in that book, and he gave me some money to buy it. Yet later on I was having some problems with my other friend that caused the failure to get the book. It makes me have a debt of around US $ 79 to my friend Raidy Noor, and I hope to pay it before I die.
The next twenty years later, on May 22, 1992, after writing a response to an advertisement in the newspaper about an opportunity to immigrate to the U.S., I received a letter from a Law Offices in Florida. It was from Mr. George E. Crimarco, Holland and Knight Law Offices, 1200 Brickle Avenue, Miami, Florida 33131, phone (305) 374 8500. His other office was in 888 Seventeenth Street, N.W., Suite 900, Washington D.C. 20006, phone (202) 955 5550. They asked me to send US $ 350, and I happened to get the money from a colleague who head the Jakarta office of a famous Indonesian cigarette company. Later on I realized that I had misunderstood the offer, I thought the US $ 350 would be enough to get me a green card to immigrate to the U.S., while in fact I still have to get a sponsor, individual or company, to support my immigration to the US. And I failed to get one. It makes me have a debt of around US $ 350 to Mr. Suwito D. from the cigarette company, and I hope to pay it before I die.
What concerns me most is the possibility that those debts could hinder my consent to move to the eternity. Therefore I am now trying to sell my paintings to be able to pay those debts.

There is a unique problem of my efforts to sell my paintings. Some people considered my producing paintings is not a work, because what is considered as work is only the office work from the morning to the evening. Of course this kind of consideration could raise questions from those working in the field outside the office, especially in the art field. I hope after writing this, there would be no more objections about my decision to choose painting as my work, my livelihood. Besides, by selling my paintings I could later on, if I still alive, create my own company. Therefore I could create jobs, and not searching for job that is not easy in my country. I prefer to help people by providing jobs.
