Date: Wed, 5 July 2006 11:58 WesternIndonesiaTime Subject: Correction to the Previous Nita Story
I should extend my apology here due to some false typing of my previous letter under the subject of "Theo's Lesson of Love", about Nita. I have made the correction to the page for the convenience of the readers, like you could view by clicking here. Yet for the sake of its important historical date in Yahoo server, the original is still in my homepage file at http://www.geocities.com/closing_wd_dst/ltr/a/bgt2b.html . The correction is to make it more easier to understand the situation. It was previously written as: "The next day Nita in the evening Nita accepted my visit holding a handkerchief. But I did nothing with her, not a single kiss, because I was still afraid to do that. maybe that was the reason why later on Nita chose someone else to become her boy friend....." While it should have been like the following: "The next day in the evening Nita accepted my visit holding a handkerchief in her hand, like following the advise of Theo on the previous night. But I did nothing with her, not a single kiss, because I was still afraid to do that. And maybe that was the reason why later on Nita chose someone else to become her boy friend......."
Date: Wed, 5 July 2006 12:04 WesternIndonesiaTime Subject: Not About Denying My Failure
Another important thing to write here is about the accusation that I was writing the story of Nita just to deny my failure in the past. Of course it is not an accusation I should accept, because actually I was writing it to recognize my failure. Therefore I wrote it as "........maybe that was the reason why later on Nita chose someone else to become her boy friend.......", which reflects my admitting about doing the mistake of not utilizing the good opportunity given by Nita, therefore she later on switched her love to someone else, to another person who then became her boyfriend.
Date: Wed, 5 July 2006 12:15 WesternIndonesiaTime Subject: Misunderstanding About the Word "Straight"
Considering that these letters are viewed not only by you but also by others, another important explanation should be made here. It is about the word "straight", and I am sure you have understood it clearly when it is related to sexual orientation, but some others who happen to read this may confuse it with other meanings. And I need to make this explanation or otherwise there would be some people who like to use it to evoke enmity on myself. What a provocative kind of measures, he-he-he.....
It is related to my previous letter "Rumors of Superman Gay and This Site", whereas in the last sentence I wrote ".....But I am straight, to be sure of......". Such sentence might raise a misunderstanding as if I was offending some people who are not "straight". In fact, it is a matter of understanding the meaning about the word "straight". There are some meanings of it, including about human attitude, the "straight" attitude as oppose to the "crooked" attitude. But in accordance to the subject, I was not writing about crooked or straight attitude, instead it was about sexual orientation. What I mean by using the word "straight" is related to the title of the letter, "Rumors of Superman Gay and This Site", about my sexual orientation. Like written in the website of Merriam Webster On-Line Dictionary at http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/straight, whereas one of the meaning of the word "straight" is "heterosexual": of, relating to, or characterized by a tendency to direct sexual desire toward the opposite sex. So, as the opposite of "gay", the word "straight" has the meaning of "not gay".
To make it more clear I herewith give two examples of the using of the word "straight" in the following articles about sexual orientation.
Date: Wed, 5 July 2006 13:11 WesternIndonesiaTime Subject: Interpreting Paris' "O2"
Another important explanation here is related with Paris Hilton's pose when she was watching Pharrell perform at the O2 Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, London on June 23, 2006, like in the photo of my previous letter. The "O2" could raise a misunderstanding as if she was making a curse of "zeroing the number 2 person", or "number 2 person should die". To explain it, there should be some parts of explanations. First, it is inappropriate I think to easily make a negative interpretation of whatever Paris Hilton was doing. She has the right to undergo her activities, without having to get misunderstanding of interpretations. Secondly, "O2" is the name of a telecommunication company, with their website at http://www.o2.com/ . Third, it could be related with my promise to give her a second chance related to my consent to move out to the eternity, so it was like having the meaning of "second chance for Firman to become zero, or die". Fourth, it could be related with my going back home from a junior high school reunion on June 24, 2006, whereas on the way back I was riding the car with my old friend Kicky, a woman, who is the second person or VP at Bank Bumiputera. So "O2" has the meaning of "the O of the VP of Bank Bumiputera". What kind of "O", it is woman's matter, only Kicky and Paris Hilton know it, I think.
