Bright and Beautiful

Time to post an entry. Lazy bone took on a strike this past few days and refused to produce any thing for this blog of mine...

I bid farewell to my parents last Saturday. I thought I would have felt relieved when they left... but I didn't. In fact, I missed them already... not only for the food that they prepared... but also for their very presence. I start to understand my mom's feelings about our family being all together. I did feel the completeness when my sister was here a few months ago. It had been years since we had a chance for 4 of us being together.

I finally found a place to live near work. It's a nice little townhouse with 2 bedrooms and an attached garage. The landlord is Filipino and she is so very nice and let me move in my stuff next week before I even start paying her rent. I am fortunate to run into nice people... I have to be thankful to God, for He has done amazing things in my life especially in the past few months. Thank you, God. You have made every day of life bright and beautiful.

It's good to be blessed. Nice people, nice place to live and a nice job, bet your parents are happy for you. Do you believe in karma? I was watching this TV show (the funny type) in which a guy used to do all sorts of bad things like robbing and pulling tricks on people; but after he won the lottery and lost the lotto ticket instantly upon being struck by a truck, he started to realize that things go bad on him when he's being bad and life gets great when he behaves nicely and help others. And then the story goes on to how he made a list of bad things he did and how he resolved them to compensate for the other's lost due to his mischievous behavior. It's quite a funny show but at the same time inspiring.

Do I believe in karma? I dunno. But I do believe that performing good deeds is necessary and important regardless of good or bad consequences and with or without rewards. Of course, on the superficial level, I am often driven by the "good feelings" when helping people and doing the right things.

May all things be bright and beautiful for you the upcoming days.
I don't know if I believe in the more good deeds you do, the better luck you will get (at times I do, but can't find a scientific proof.) But for sure the more good things you do, the better you will feel, and things tend to be smoother when you are in a better mood.

Thank you, 可可. I am crossing my fingers... hopefully my presentation will go well tomorrow.
