The beauty of life is, while we cannot undo what is done,
we can see it, understand it, learn from it and change.
So that every new moment is spent not in regret, guilt, fear or anger,
but in wisdom, understanding and love. - Jennifer Edwards
Today, I came across the list of 7 wonders of the World. I don’t want to sound corny or being all philosophical, but seriously, as bored as I am at work, it’s dawned on me, from The Great Pyramid of Giza to The Red Fort in India to The Great Wall of China, the Seven Wonders are not very far off from where I live! They are surrounding me and are with in me!
Yup, that’s my Seven Wonders. Like yesterday when I redo my whole room, my father and brother spent the whole morning to redo the electronic wires in my room. My girlfriend went over and kept me company. The other girlfriend heard the news, concerned about my well-being and called to check up on me. My mother cooked my favorite dish. I still have my all senses, ten fingers and toes. I can still laugh, smile and talk but the best thing is that I have the people who care about me, worry about my being and love me! That’s more than any Wonders in the World, I tell ya!
Sometimes when things seem dull and boring or when things tune up to be exciting and sparkling, we tend to ignore the means that get us there. We take advantage of what we have and treasure something not so significant. A laughter always makes the day brighter. A hug always makes it warmer. A sight from someone you love always makes you tingling all over. Little things that count. Want to feel the devine? Feel the sun on your skin and the breeze in your hair.
If you want to know more about the Wonders of the World. You can read it at The WonderClub.com but if want to look at the Real Natural Wonder of the World? Look into the mirror. You will see the significant being. Right in front of you. Live and loved.

In case you wonder if there is an 8th wonder, my answer for it is “Yes!” It is the wonder-ful of being in love, my dear! =)
I have my blog up again only to notice that the resurrection date is today–May 25. Now, if things have gone the way it was planned, I would have been Mrs. Tran for the past three years. The significance about May 25th is linked back to half a decade ago when I met my ex-boyfriend. Everything about us was May 25: official dating date, propose date and planned wedding date etc.–yeah, all of that happened in two years.
It’s funny how one person out of 6.5 billion souls, you decided to dedicate your life, faith, and soul to. Sounds like selling your soul to Satan, hah? Well, it’s worse than that! It’s because of your willingness, passion, and dedication and yet wished for nothing to be given in return. No bargaining. No negotiating. Nothing. If that person had wronged you, you let it go. You let the wound heals. You forgive and forget. Because of that one person, you’ve become the biggest altruistic and yet the most pathetic person, you’ve never known in your entire life. But because of that one person, you’ve found the most fabulous and happiest person within yourself. Because of that one person, you’ve found the best in you, and that my friends, is the most wonderful feeling in the world one has ever experienced.
Downside? Sometimes it lasts, sometimes it doesn’t. Some are lucky to experience it the rest of their lives. Some are not. I belong to the majority–the are not! But have faith in life and give much energy to love, for I, fully and truly believe, they will come back two folds.
