I'm a happier person today

On most days, I take the transjakarta bus to work, but I'm feeling super lazy today to get on my feet. Normally I'd take a 3 in 1 joki, but that is extra 10thousand and not to mention the extra gas my driver would have to spend on his way home coz he had to take the 'back road' to avoid 3 in 1. Besides, I had promised myself to be extra stingy to myself until my big trip on March. So my driver dropped me off at Al-Azhar, and as I walked to the bus stop I can feel the wind sweeping through my face. It felt reaaaaalllllly good. The sky was blue and the sun is shining but yet it's so breezy. It was such a nice morning! I looked up, smiled and mumbled "good job, God!". And just like that, I am happier person today.

I was in the bus. And was still amazed of how beautiful the morning was. I was glad I chose to take the bus today. Choose. I just realized that I actually had CHOICES. It was a choice I made, that I wanted to save up on gas and money. But to some people it was their only choice to take the bus. Because they didn't have car. Because they could not afford it. They probably don't know the luxurious feeling being in a car, where you have someone to drive it for you, where all you have to do is to put your lazy ass in the backseat and enjoy the ride. You got the office smelling good, dry and.. comfortable. All the factors that make me sometimes so lazy to take the bus. Especially on a hot day, when you have extra perspiration after all that walk from the bus stop. Or in a rainy day, when no matter what size of umbrella you use, you'd still get wet anyways at the end. I thanked God that I still have the choices. And just like that, I am happier person today.

I put my ipod to shuffle when suddenly it played some french bossas. It was a perrrrrfect soundtrack for the morning. It gave me a smile, and accidentally had an eye contact with a man sitting in front of me, and he also smiled, and then he smiled to an older lady that standing in front of him, she smiled back and the man stood up and gave his seat to the lady, which was holding a little kid, that also smiled, glad that he could finally rest his little feet on his granny's lap. And just like that, I am a happier person today.
