Many things in life, big and small, never fail to amaze me, like the stars in the sky and how they shine, the blue whale and what could it be doing right now, considering that it’s really big! the earth and what holds it in place, babies and how they feel their mother’s love, God and of course, love itself. These things are not exactly that strange because they can be explained through science but in my head, I still keep on asking, “How is that made possible?”. Why do some things in this life exist or some parts in the human body, for example, exist when they don’t serve any purpose? Like the appendix. When I clean the house, I always hate dust and I think that the furniture in the house isn’t doing anything at all, why does it become dirty? In our house, I ask, why do we still keep this piece of furniture when we only need this? Most people are ironic. They want to have a clean space to live in yet they are not willing to give up the things that clutter the house just when they actually decide to start cleaning. 

      Why does melanin clutter on some places of our skin, creating moles? Why do I ask for a break from work and then want something to do when it’s been too long that I haven’t been working? 

     You can actually try searching for answers to these questions and it’s fun to try doing it online because people can give you the strangest answers! I’ve always loved cats!  It’s like when I see a cat, I always want to hug it. I think I have this sort of connection to cats. I’ve always wondered why cats purr. I’ve noticed that our cat before produces a sound which I think it does unintentionally. When I hold my cat, I can feel vibration from its throat. In my search for answers, I have learned that cats purr when they are anxious or when they feel relaxed or comfortable, sometimes when they are full or happy.  To read more, cats purr explained in this link. How the purr is produced is not yet explained in full detail by scientist, but now I know that when cats purr, it can mean a negative or positive thing.

     One of the most amazing things on earth, of course, is nature. I bet most of you would agree that water falling from the sky is just amazing. The rain just brings a calming effect to the soul, for some, it’s rather gloomy or sad when it rains. But for me, rain is a blessing. I like rain better than the sunny season as long as people are safe and there are no floods or typhoons. The rainy season is so relaxing. Just make sure that you are geared for the wet season when it comes so that instead of being hassled because you are getting wet, you’ll enjoy walking in the rain instead.   Do you know what the cause of rain is?

      We can ask a whole bunch of questions. We can do intense research but I know that we can’t always explain everything that happens to us or that happens in this world. Sometimes, we can only say, “because that’s the way that it is supposed to be”. As humans, I guess our minds have power, but at the end of the day, when we are no longer able to comprehend or explain different phenomena, then perhaps, for the believers, we can simply rest with the thought that that is how God designed for things to happen, or for those who do not believe in God, you can only tell yourself, because… that’s just the way it is. Life can be strange, yet it is in its strangeness that it becomes more amazing to continue to live. 

     I was browsing over some quotes made by famous people. Mahatma Ghandi’s “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony” quote is one of my favorites. We always want to achieve happiness. Many of us are great dreamers. We dream to every detail of what we want to do. But we don’t achieve happiness just by dreaming. I’m not really a fan of rap artists but I would like to quote Whiz Khalifa. “You ain’t gonna stop trying to get where you going until you reach it. Happiness is about dreaming and taking action. It is common for ordinary people to have dreams, but what will matter the most is when we take action. Don’t stop until you reach what you have always been dreaming of. I believe that there is still plenty of time, most especially when you are young.

     Sometimes, I wonder what’s it like to be famous. Having a lot of money, getting everything you need with just a call and having everyone’s attention. On the other hand, fame can rob you of peace and privacy.Michael Jackson was very famous. He had the money to change his looks and he made great music. When Michael Jackson died, many people grieved. Do you think MJ died happy? I don’t think so. Whitney Houston also left a legacy with her songs. It has been confirmed that she used cocaine before she died. There have been a lot of famous people who were reported of substance abuse, why? I guess because they have the money and have easy access to illegal drugs. I guess they weren’t contented after all. Why would these people abuse drugs if they are contented with life? We could not blame them I guess. Or, perhaps, we can say that they should have made better choices in life. They should have taken advantage of what they had and used it for good things.
