Really don’t know what to say, when it comes to the real life. Sadness, happiness are part of our daily life. I will start with the death. What is that then?
Okay the story is like this ==>
In my village there is a belief that if one of us die, the death would follow to others and will stop until 3 of our residents die. That is true, I have paid really close attention to this fact, and it always goes that way as far as I remember. Recently, within 20 days 3 of our residents have passed away, starting from 21 days ago. 2 of them are my close relatives. So, what to do with that?, nothing, nothing at all that I can do about that and nothng to worry about lost and gain. What I believe is the death will come in one way or another. We will never know who will die tomorrow or the next second. The thing behind it is we all need to do what we have to do. Do I feel loose? Yes I do. But life must goes on and much more things to do to survive and get my life better.
Talking about life, it will be about steemit as well. I may be dead at any time on steemit as well as in my real life. Why do I say that way?, it is simply because of my devices to access onto the platform have had some troubles. I cannot blame anything out of it. Those devices have been used for several years now, I bought my laptop 8 years ago, and my phone was 6 years ago. It may be the time for them to rest in peace. My laptop currently could not be operated with battery attached in, but it works sometime by plugging it directly to the power source and another problem is appeared, the charger. Both my laptop charger and my phone charger are isolated by the seal tape. Last time I change the battery and the charger for my laptop was a year ago. I bought the original one (at least that was what the provider said to me), and now the battery is broken again!. But before it happen, the sudden off of the laptop caused the malfunction of some hardware inside. The power supply system on the laptop’s motherboard can be damaged due to the electricity supplies (maybe not). My laptop can be off (dead) at any time while I am using it.
What cost me from that problem?
It interrupts my works, and the most important thing is the article discussion on #arteem discord channel. Well, I have a specific discussion on the channel to lead as a mod and mentor, we discuss the weakness of the “pointed” articles, it has been 12 sessions this far. The objectives of this discussion are to improve the writing skill and communication ability of our members, to train the newbies how to interact with other user across the globe and mentoring them to create good original contents. It is the way to mitigate the plagiarism and spam on the platform. We do not tell, but we show them how to make and how to do it by themselves. Some members have shown the good outcome of this discussion. This channel was initiated by 
Buying the new battery for my laptop is not easy at all at the moment, even it is a bit difficult to make daily needs. That is the second reason why I mostly away from steemit and sometimes just show ups to support some of you who have given me tremendous amount of support, the splendid love I felt along the journey came from all of you.
The prices for the battery and the charger of my laptop are about IDR 900,000 (about $60-65 USD). Wait, it is not asking your help or supports, but just telling you how the farmer like me from the different world is looking at life itself. Right, I am not as lucky as you are, but I survive till this far because I do what I can do to live my life as simple as possible.
The simple calculation for how many works I have to do to get only new battery and charger is told by the price of my squash. The price for this kind of squash I grow for meanwhile is IDR 1500 ($1/10 of USD). So it needs 600 squashes to replace my battery. One tree can produce 4 a week and I have 10 trees now producing that kind of squash. Then, it means I have 15 weeks to work on my farm to replace the battery. But, is the laptop most important thing in my life so that I could use all of my income to pay for it?. Looking at the minimum budget need for a day of my simple life is IDR 60,000 ($4-$5 USD). If I multiple it by 105 days (15 weeks) it will get IDR 6,300,000 ($420 USD), well, it is far than enough from the squash earning. That is why I need to put my laptop to the 3rd priority, does it make sense to you?.
But, those calculations are only from the squash. I do realize that I need to have something more, I started to grow the Cayenne pepper since a week ago, and it is still needed to wait for 2 months to get something from it. And the papaya is also on going, 750 papaya trees are on the ground now. Besides, I have another kind of squash to support my daily life, hopefully it will produce within the next 3 week. It seems all easy to do, but that is not that simple, a lot of hard works. The bugs and bacteria almost destroy my papaya plants, and the Macacas (monkeys) came and destroy 65 papaya trees and cocoa in my farm a week ago, that is sad news. Good news is those papaya trees are recovering and started to have a new shoot that I have hope will grow up well.

So, those are my story today, next time I will share you complete post about how to grow squashes, cayenne pepper and papaya as my own experience so far.
Thank you for reading and supporting my post.
With my best regard
Hope for the best and prepare for the worst
