Life is a journey

“Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations.” - Oliver Goldsmith

Whenever I see someone goes on a trip and writes the experience on his/her blog, I feel that life should be leaded that way. The course that you choose to walk will determine where you will be going. But the paths that you walk on these remarkable countries are going to be special. You don’t know where you are going because you're unfamiliar with it which I find it thrilling. It's the surroundings that keep you going. You turn to your right and see something new to you or something common when you turn to your left. You learn and notice something new along the way. You learn their cultures, languages and lifestyle. You survey how they interact with each other or greet when they first met. You go to Africa and the people there change your life. You tell yourself that you're fortunate enough and should not take things for granted. In next to no time, you will appreciate all and sundry around you. Ultimately, you changed - in a good way. You go to Alaska and find yourself realising that the Earth we live on is actually a beautiful planet. The nature seems so surreal to you. The beauty of nature leaves you speechless and flabbergasted. From somewhere far away, you hear music - the sound of nature. This beautiful melody tranquillises you and brings your worriment to a trip. You feel appreciative that you were born to witness something so extraordinary. The world suddenly turns silent and you know what's coming - Peace.

And when you have finally come to an end, there is something inside your head that you won't be able to put out of your mind; something that has already been etched to your memory. You will leave the place with a blissful soul and a contented heart. You feel glad that you have taste what life is all about.

Talking about trips, I can't wait for the 26th of November to arrive. It is the day when I'll be flying on an airplane to Bangkok. We will in Thailand for three weeks. Trust my mum to not feel harried despite of the fact that I've been relentlessly badgering about the trip at her. However, before we get to shop in Bangkok, we have to go to the countryside to visit my relatives. I surmise we will be staying there for about a week. On the happier note, my father will not be joining us to the countryside for the reason that he doesn't like rural places. So he is going to Pattaya instead.

The first thing I will do when I am back in Bangkok is to go straighten and colour my hair at a local salon. But I am caught in a dilemma whether I should dye my hair dark brown or ash brown. Many mentioned to me that I don't suit black hair. And next would be the shopping! Shopping makes me happy. The vintage clothing, wedges, gladiator heels, bags and ……. I am getting a new personal luggage before the journey starts. I bet it’s going to be wild. BlogBooster-The most productive way for mobile blogging.
