prelude to noting

I love this Ibu Pertiwi (Motherland) of mine.

Otherwise I would not have bothered to note the happenings around me. But I am not a politician, never want to be one. Neither am I a journalist nor a historian. But if one day in the future this note is read, it would be still a piece of history. History they all say, is often written by the victor yet I am not one. I am not even in the contention. But I have my own story to tell. So here I am.
