HEROES vs Dilbert

In HEROES season #1 (not sure episode #1 or #2), there's a scene where Hiro 'travel' to New York City and found a comic book about him. EXACTLY describing detail things he did last night in Japan.

This week I made a cheerful start. Almost like Hiro, I found a comic piece about my work in the office :)

His Cellphone Number?

Once upon a time in a brain of a confused young lady 'A'...


A : Hi B!

B : What's up now?

A : Can you give me God's cellphone number?
A : I really need to talk with Him.
A : Or, if he's busy...I can text Him.

B : Why do want to bother Him?

A : It's about life and all its mysteries.
A : I need to consult some stuff with Him.
A : I need to check whether I am at the right part of the puzzle, coz it doesn't feel like the perfect fit.

B : You think He has the answers?

A : Definitely! So, do you have His number?

B : ...


A group of friends have helped 'A' in looking up for the cellphone number. This is their first findings:

Any other luck friends?? :)

I Haven't Found Myself

This evening I had a good chat. Thanks to the advancement of communication technology, wide oceans are near enough.

x : so... are u happy?
x : have you found yourself?

y : well...that's why i have decided to live out of indo
y : I am happy here x
y : I am happy here in europe, i found myself and i can live my life.

x : that's what matters!

I haven't found myself and I'm looking for it. It's like doing a 'solo' treasure hunt. Clues are scattered, riddles are not easy, battle zones are challenging, yet the teammate is somewhere out there...

Let me know if you hold the next clue! :)

Remember the Vows?

In the Name of God, I take you, to be my wife/husband,
To have and to hold from this day forward,
For better for worse,
For richer for poorer,
In sickness and in health,
To love and to cherish,
Until we are parted by death.
This is my solemn vow.

Saya berjanji setia kepadamu dalam suka dan duka, di waktu sehat maupun sakit, dalam untung dan malang. Saya mau mencintai dan menghormati engkau seumur hidup saya sampai maut memisahkan kita.

This afternoon in the office, a colleague's act reminded me of that vows. He was searching information about dengue fever's medication. Today is his wife’s second day of dengue fever. Angkak. Able to boost the amount of thrombocytes rapidly.
"HERO supermarket has it!" And off he goes. The vows live within him...
