I have ever been on a long-distance journey in life. I see the similarity of life and road. Life has many twist and turns, there are traffic signs for us to watch. There are smooth highways and rough and muddy dirt roads. Sometimes the tires of my car get deflated, there are times get stuck in a hole. In long journeys to unfamiliar places, we never know what to expect. But we must have the courage to go on. It reminds me the journey of my own life. My experiences that tested my patience but which I survived owing to a good sense of humor and perseverance. What would happened if I gave up on fighting for what I believed in? I would have missed the chance to meet the great people and friends that I have now. I see the road to a happy and fulfilling life has many adversities. Rather than discourage me, it should make me stronger so that I will have a better sense of my own humanity. I do not blame myself when I stumble and fall. What’s important is my capacity to rise up again. With determination, love, patience, and prayer, I can face the challenges of life. Everyone has the right to be happy, everyone is born with the potential to succeed. All I need is to tap into the potential, nurture it, not only in myself but in others as well-and make it a reality. And to think of today and everyday as a stepping stone to something better. I learn also not to dwell on the past but look to the future. There is no tomorrow, only today!

Can Men and Woman be just friends? Is it possible for men and women to be friends without being romantic? Five years ago I’ve meet a man, we talk each other regularly, I share my personal problems. He’s always there for me when I need someone to lean on. As time pass by we became very close friends. For many people the idea of a man and woman being friends is charming, but improbable. It always lead into something else. Yes, I agree! Because my friend falls in love with me. I feel bad and our friendship is gone since the day he said he loves me. Male-female friendships are rarely acclaimed or depicted as on going, free standing bond. In my life, I wanted to have a male best friend, a true friendship one. He is a good sounding board for getting the male perspective, the kind I can’t get from a woman friend. For me, as a woman it helps me to express my independence, more reasoned, and tougher side-the harder edge that keep under wraps in relationships with my women friends. The down side for me is the relative absence of emotional reciprocity and intensity I normally shares with a female friend. I think, men and women can enjoy friendship together, but not at the same level they do with friends in the same sex. Male and female friendship avoid competition too, we can choose who can be friends for a life time. I hope, I have a male true friend that I can count on, someone I can call my male best friend.

This past few days I’ve been thinking about life, my life. The way I see my life shape my life. Some friends told me just take it easy and enjoy life. “How do I see my life?” I am responsible of my own destiny. Yes, destiny is a matter of choice. Yesterday my best friend told me, I have choices in life, I just need to choose which destiny I want to take. I failed some test in life and I learned from it. I feel I’m always being tested. When no one is around, I ask God what He wants me to be? what will be my purpose on earth? God tested my faith through problems, tests my hope by how I handle possessions, and test my love through people. Realizing life is too short, everyday is an important day, and every second is a growth opportunity to deepen my character, to demonstrate love, or to depend on God for my life. I know everything I enjoy is to be treated as a trust that God has placed in my hands. I thank God for all His goodness. Let me share with you my favorite song that signifies my life, the feeling of being alone and to feel that God is always with me when I’m all alone.

Thank you to late Music Icon Micheal Jackson, I am one of his fan, I salute him for making and singing a heartfelt songs that signifies life. Thank you MJ, your songs will live on in every people’s heart.
