Smile

Upon your request Val, I'm gonna start writing about myself. The things that I like and the things that I hate. And to write about the goings in my life so that those of you out there reading my blog would know me better through my writing.

To begin with, just a couple of weeks back, someone told me that I should smile more often. I've been told that I look pretty gloomy and fierce when I don't smile. What actually triggered this look is that I've been through alot in life. The most fortunate thing is that I've let go alot of these burdens that have been tying me down. I think it all began two years back when my mom was suffering from cancer. And at the same time I was really unhappy with my working conditions with my previous company to top it all. Juggling work, my mom's condition and finances to meet my mom's medical bills wasn't an easy task. Many people said that I should leave it all into God's hands, trust me I've tried and it wasn't easy. For those of you who have been through my circumstances would understand. Loosing my mom was like loosing a big part of my life, coupled with having to finally resign from my company, means no income, it was highly stressful.

We all go through life with many obstacles. Some obstacles are easy to overcome and some are very difficult and painful to go through. My countenance has changed tremendously ever since then. Even after that I've gone through with some dissapointments in life with myself and with people I've cherished.

But through it all, all these have passed away. And I'm looking ahead with my head held high. Now, I will regain my "smiling" countenance which I've lost. Probably also my jovial old self too. There you go Valz.
