Life is beautiful

Several years ago, I happened to watch an Italian movie entitled Life is Beautiful. A blend of drama, romance, action and comedy set in the years before World War II. It's not all about the movie that I would like to elaborate more but it's the title. Life is beautiful. After then, it became a sort of an inspirational quote to me. In fact, it's one of my favorite.

Anyway, I really have no real intention in making this blog. As of now, I am making a lot of updates for this site and fo far, I am glad that my readers, meaning you, can interact in real time. You can hit the Like button of the famous Facebook. That is, if you like my site.

I do not know how to apply here the Open Graphic protocol, if it's possible. That means, when you LIKE this site, it will appear in your FB account and since then, any updates from here will appear in your wall. Just like a Fan page. Wow, how sophisticated is technology right now. But as I said, I don't know if it's feasible. However, I made a fan page so I can connect to a lot of people and so is this site. I do not intend to become famous. I just love writing and when people like my articles, it's such a wonderful feeling.
That's for now my beloved readers. I'll get back very soon.

Just a thought...

Am I lost?

I did not understand but it seemed like I was in a different world where almost everything was different from before. It's like I was having a culture shock. They say, no one is the same, a.k.a, everyone is unique. And yes it's totally unique. Indeed.

Gone were the days when my jokes could make others laugh. When people would listen if I needed to speak. Back when I knew how to be humble and be proud. They're gone...they're gone.

I tried to walk and kept walking believing that it might just me who have changed. But it was a futile journey. I realized that am not naive enough to comprehend that sometimes you have to leave a few enemies and lots of old friends for you to meet lots of new enemies and only a few friends. Sometimes you will experience a place where people, as countless as the sand, would never believe in your abilities. Where you need to be humble and forget to be proud. Where you can't talk and just listen. Where your jokes are not funny. Where your best is invisible. Where you feel you're just nothing.

So I momentarily stopped and asked my self again, " Am I lost?"
Then I knew I am not.
I kept searching and it took a while for me to learn that no one could find something that isn't missing. So I never found me, for I was never lost at all. It's just the world that surrounds me that keeps on changing. I just have to deal with it. Someday, I know I would depart again and discover new challenges.

This world of mine is just so big that part of it is yet to be discovered. And the greatest part of it? My loved ones and God. With them I could never be lost for they are the compass of my voyage.
