STOP BULLYING
The Boy you just called stupid? He has a learning disability & studies 4hrs a night.
The Girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her.....
The Boy you just tripped? He is already abused enough at home.
There's more to people than you think.
coz beauty is only skin deep.

Jakarta, my city....where manners are gone :)
I was on my way home from a place in north Jakarta. It was 05.00 pm and I knew if i took a cab I would be stuck in Jakarta's traffic for hours. So I took another option. I took our beloved public transportation, TRANSJAKARTA Bus.
I get on the bus as soon as i bought the ticket. The bus was not crowded, but there were no more seat for me so I had to stand.
Being a loyal passenger of Transjakarta services, I knew a few tricks to get a seat as soon as possible. So I start to observe all passenger, looking for a person that I knew will get off the bus soon. I look for a person who always looking to the front window. So I made my choice, I stand in front of a man who keeps looking to the front windows with a nervous look, afraid of missing his stop.
The bus is getting more crowd as it headed to Kelapa gading stops, and I knew I'm getting my seat soon:) .meanwhile I took a little look around to make sure my seat is safe, besides me there is just two other passenger that still don't get a seat, a women with a hijab (jilbab) who was standing about a step away in my left side and a man in my right sides.
And I was right, as soon as the bus reached the KG station the man in front of me rise in a hurry to get off the bus. Being the person that stand in front of him first I was sure enough that the seat was mine, but as i looked around once again I realize that being a gentleman I was suppose to give my seat to the lady who wear hijab. And in my mind I decided to give her my seat. The man on the X seat was already fully arise, and I was on my way to give away the seat with a nod to the lady, when all of a sudden (without any hesitation) the lady move in a fast motion (kinda push me) to get the seat...My God, she think I wanna take the seat so she must seize it from me, and I wasalready on my way to give her that seat....And than she gave me a " I was here first, so this is my seat" eye..what a...*&^%!@@##(saying inappropriate words my mind...lol)
as the bus reached the KG station the bus was already full and I was holding to the passengers grip so I wont fall. I look at the hijab lady, and she was sleeping. and the next destination is Cempaka putih station. and as the bus get more crowded I had to scrape to the right a little, and in front of me now is an old lady. and she gave me a "You can take my seat when I get off at the next stops" eye. I smiled.
10 minute later, the old lady arise. this is her stop. Being experienced in seat sabotage, I was making a "this is my seat" eyes to other passenger who starts noticing the soon to be empty seat. Kinda fell like a lioness protecting her cubs hahahaha. And .....YES.....FINALLY, I got my seat.
I was just being comfort with my seat when I saw a girl (kinda pretty) standing not far from me. She's a college student, I noticed the heavy books with a big CROSS logo on it ( a very famous Christian Academy) in her right hand while her left hand is holding the passenger's grip. She look tired. Jammed in a human ocean. kinda like sardines..
And of course, once again, being a gentleman. I stood up and gave her my seat with a smile on my face saying " go ahead miss, take my seat".
And so that girl took my seat. And as soon as her backside touch the comfort of the bus seat, without even having a glance toward me she put her bag on her laps and took her Black Berry out of it and start the Phenomenal Black Berry Autism. No thank you, not even a single smile or even a nod. What a .......#@##$$%&^^*. LOL
O...MY...GOD...what happen to these people? Didn't your parents teach you about manners??? Say thanks when people give you something, use your right hand to shake others and your left for the toilet needs..(giggles). Please...get a manner lessons.
I miss the old Jakarta, where people smile's and a slight of thank you was not an expensive think.
