Toyota
Rush
www.myperodua.com |
Monday 21 April 2008 when I was on my way to
the Internet Shop, there was a Toyota Rush with the color of an egg
shell, parking in front of a photocopy shop. Then came a thought in my
mind, if I should realize my plan to make a land journey throughout
Indonesia with my own fund obtained from someone, a Toyota Rush would be
find for me, since it consumed low fuel.
Later on when I was in the Internet Shop and
browsed Paris Hilton photos, I found her photos during a visit to
Russia.
Yesterday, Friday 25 April 2008, around eleven
o'clock when I was at Jawa Street in front of Vinna Mart, a new Toyota
Kijang all of a sudden pulled up in front of me, causing me to dismounted
from the bicycle. It was then I looked at the license plate of the car, it
was a Jakarta license plate that ended with "PH", like the initial
of Paris Hilton. The location was also mentioned in my previous letter of
"Inspiring" Paris Hilton's My New BFF.
A few minutes later in front of the Cakra
mosque, although it was Friday but since it was still around eleven
o'clock no much cars were there, only one car, and it was a black Toyota
Rush.

A rich China not threat
to world, Bill Gates says
Fri Apr 4, 2:06 PM ET
|

MIAMI (Reuters) - China's growing wealth is
good for the world, and there will come a time when the
influence of the United States shrinks to the level of its
share of the world population, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates
said on Friday.
Asked at a meeting of the Inter-American
Development Bank in Miami whether he regarded China's growing
influence in Latin America as a threat, Gates, one of the
world's richest people, said not at all.
"The fact that China is getting rich is
overall a very good thing. The fact that more minds are
getting educated is huge. If you care about the human
condition, really then a richer China is better," Gates told a
seminar on corporate philanthropy.
"If you think of this theme of relative
power, you're just into 'My country is the most powerful,'
then you're going to have to be nostalgic and think back to
1947," he said, saying that was when U.S. military and
economic power peaked.
Microsoft does not break out sales to
China, but demand in emerging markets like China represent a
fast-growing part of its $51 billion in annual revenue.
Improvements in fighting piracy |

in China have contributed to revenue growth
in its Windows operating system business.
China, its booming economy hungry for raw
commodities, has poured money into Latin America in recent
years to get a slice of the region's large mining and
agricultural sectors.
The growing Chinese presence in an area the
United States traditionally viewed as its backyard has
awakened some concerns among U.S. military officials.
China's accelerating military spending in
particular has caught the eye of the Pentagon and its
increasing role as a holder of U.S. debt and its huge share of
U.S. imports has also prompted some hand-wringing among U.S.
conservatives.
Gates, who in June will leave behind his
executive responsibilities at Microsoft to dedicate himself
full-time to the charitable activities of the Gates
Foundation, said economic and social advances in the rest of
the world would inevitably erode U.S. predominance.
"The fact is the United States is 5 percent
of the world's people. At some point we are going to have 5
percent of the world's influence and that's OK," he said.

9 April 2008, I sent a letter in my ex-senior
high school friends mailing list, mentioning the birthday of Tyas Mirasih,
an Indonesian TV actress with a blend of Java and the Netherlands, whose birthday was
on 8 April 2008.
Then I found the news about your mentioning "A rich China not threat
to world, Bill Gates says". This message of you seems like related with my
mentioning the name of Tyas Mirasih, because her last name Mirasih is
containing "Mi" like from the Indonesian word "mie" which means "noodle",
the famous Chinese food. While her first name Tyas sounds like the English
word "test".

A famous
Indonesian actress, Luna Maya, a Balinese girl who is also an
ambassador for WWF, planting 100 trees for Kalimantan island through
the Internet, at
www.mybabytree.org sponsored by WWF |
Another famous Indonesian actress, Luna Maya,
who is also an ambassador for WWF, on 27 April 2008 told the media about
her participation in the planting of trees for Kalimantan, one of
Indonesian islands, through the Internet, by browsing through
www.mybabytree.org
sponsored by WWF. The cost for planting one tree is Rp. 45.000,- or
approximately US $ 5. The name of this website reminds me with my previous
letter of
Paris With a Baby in Turkey.
This tree plantation through the Internet is a
good and important effort in saving the respiration for this earth, and
Kalimantan is kwon as one of the significant "lung" for the world which
forest has began to decreased rapidly in the recent years. If I might
suggest you, please participate in this activity for the good of this
world through
www.mybabytree.org.
