white

anyway, it's been ages, i haven't dropped any writings into my own blog. myself, who was committed to consider writing as brushing teeth, i mean the frequency, but turn to be kinda "pura-pura dungu' not owning any blog, what if it turned to be not having any tooth. fool! anyway..

so i've just bought this wrist ban "making poverty history", the white one [no choices of colour anyway]. i bought at the shop in the city, it's like official shop for this campaign. let's broke down this thing.

first of all, the wrist ban itself. i know it's kinda everywhere, i don't know exactly who created or started making this ban so popular. might be nike, which obviously everybody's wearing it, it's written on it, like a word which symbolise sportiveness whatever. and then suddenly it became everywhere, like a must wearing thing. reminds me to spiky things and then wrist ban for patients in the hospital. this wrist ban comes in different colours everywhere and sure with different words. and sometimes it seems so corny, etc.

and next, the make poverty history jargon. it came from the live 8, sir bob geldof and friends were trying to spread this idea to the world. i don't know though who was the exact pioneer, but never mind, it popped up, and just exist. it's good though, they try to make it as simple as it could be, because obviously it's not easy to make this P history.

so people now is wearing this white ban, written make P history, and i'm just wondering what are they thinking. so this is my imaginary interview [since i haven't done any real interview, hiks], with imaginary details. the question is why are you wearing this?


nomiko, waitress at o-katto restaurant
"hmm you know, we have to make this happen. fair trade, drop the debt and you know on the other side of this earth people are still starving while we're here taking everything for granted, i just don't get it when my friends said that i'm just pathetic naive idealist kinda person"

dove geldove, shop assistant at "rhyme" cafe
"what i'm thinking is, click, why my tears always drop when i see the documentary, click, of people who are starving and can't get any education, click, while mr.bush is still busy, click, with sending troops to iraq, click, and waste so much money for that stupid useless thing, click, and i just feel, [started crying], i feel, click, hik, hik, i feel that i have to do something, click, even small things like buying this wrist ban, click, and by the time you stop asking me question, 10 kids in africa died, click."

keytong, security at tattoo shop
"it's just like a tattoo, sometimes it's meaningful, and sometimes it's just for posers. it depends though, if you're wearing it because at least you know what does it mean, so it's good, and if you bought it just because you want to get rid of small changes, you better jump in to yarra river. i know i'm exaggerating, but i tend to have this kinda extreme thought for this kinda people"

fragiles, admin at an insurance company
"i don't know, i think white suits my skin colour and especially today it fits my flat flowery shoes that i bought in that cool vintage store, it looks bright and clear. i just love it. muah!"

corgans, manager at a big famous record store
"most rock bands do, so i have to follow, you know, i always admire them, they have this kinda soulful movement that i just cant ignore. i know it's kinda selling out or whatever, but it is a good campaign, you reckon? yes i think so, so hell yeah, i'm wearing it now, i hope it will kick ass and i'm gonna ask my staffs to wear this ban"

lefty, volunteer at state library
"we have to encourage john howard to come to the meeting, we have to stand for the right of undeveloped country, do not let them get sucked by this so-called powerful country who is trying to make them bend on their knees asking for debt whatever, while this rich countries only donate few percent of that national gross bla bla, well, they can do better though, so free trade is a must, oh yeah, i wanna say hi to my friends who are still fighting for this, keep going, i'm gonna stay here optimistically that it's gonna happen"

candy, picnic-ers
"sorry, the reason why i'm wearing this is just for my self, i keep it here [pointed at her chess]"

so my interview was ended when the sky became orange, and i just felt wanna go home and started pouring this annoying feeling to the screen of this computer so when tomorrow my imaginary editor asking for result, i just can do what Candy did. but i will pointed at my head instead. cause this idea make P history still blurry buried in my head. i know that i can do small things that hopefully could help them, but i haven't made any move, just moving my fingers to make this no-where-to-go piece of writing. and oh yeah, just to make a whatever-writing to ease the guilty of haven't done any and a lil bit productive kinda feeling. hup fush!
