Yes, Life is Really Full of Surprises...

The world we live in consists of order and disorder. The laws of nature are evidence of order. The many laws are so dependable that we often forget about the chaos in our midst. Yet, uncertainty, unpredictability, randomness, the unanticipated and the unexpected are equally enmeshed in our lives. Unfortunately, the words we use to describe chaos evoke negative images such as insecurity and instability.

Sometimes, things don't work out the way we want them to. It's not a perfect world, and there is no script to life that will tell us what to do, and when to do it. And all day long there are surprises waiting, and we can just find ourselves smiling, laughing, or even crying. We can discover a client who appreciates our efforts, a boss that knows our skills, an employee who will go the extra mile for us, a neighbor who offers a hand, or even the other way around.

Life is full of surprises and uncertainties, but we have to roll with all of those things and not let them stop us.

Just yesterday everything seems to be so fine, I and my colleagues at work were like smiling, laughing and dancing all the way. We're even singing out loud our joy for the world to hear us. We had had really fun. And it was really great looking at each other smiles while talking about things related to our life and most especially to our work... Until something unexpected happened...

But then, everyday is an individual day. We do not know what the new day will bring. And it does not mean that if we're happy yesterday then we would still be happy today. Again, life is full of surprises... It just started like an ordinary day to an amazing day or even to a day that one may consider a nightmare.

I started my day of work with a list of phone calls which I had to make. But now, I started it with filing an application for other companies and even taking an interview for a new job. You might be wondering if why this is the case, but I apologize if I won't be able to disclose the real story behind this as of this writing.

NO, it's not what you are thinking, and it is not even bad or good. Thing is, life had just offered me another surprise for another chapter of my life. It is another surprise which somehow I have had anticipated before, yet it's still part of life's reality and of my life's journey.

You don’t want to miss it, do you?

It’s true, life is full of surprises. We never know where and when, but truly there are endless surprises anywhere and everywhere. They can be around any corner just waiting for us… I’m not kidding, you better watch out. It’s waiting and ready to jump out, so let's keep our eyes wide open and look.

Enjoy it. If life is boring to you do something different to jazz up your life. Afterall, life is full of surprises.

Why insearch4you?

[image is taken from here.]

You might be wondering until now why my blogsite`s URL is http://insearch4you.blogspot.com?

Why insearch4you when there are still a lot of names or words to choose from, or why not just use atenean101 instead?

You may not know it, but aside from the usual atenean101 being my username and of what most internet people and friends know me for, I`m also known as insearch4you or insearch4u in several sites I have joined and entered [may it be a personal site or just the usual one].

The name insearch4you came across my mind almost two years ago during the time when I almost consider myself alone and helpless and the time when almost everybody around seem to abandon me... I have been known to be a fighter, a well spirited person and an optimistic one, but at that certain point of my life I could say that I almost wanted to give up. At that time, I am like searching for something or for someone or somebody who shall guide me and who shall walk beside me and enlighten my way through the darkness...

[image is taken from here.]

Now the question is... why insearch4you and why not atenean101?

http://insearch4you.blogspot.com if you may notice is my very first personal blogsite which accounts all the things that interest and concerns me in the past, in the present and in the future. I have personally published and established it myself [with the help of blogspot and other sponsor sites of course] for the following reasons: • I want the world to know that I exist and continue to exist. • I want to establish huge network of friends. • I want to show the world the wonders of living. • I want to somehow walk beside others who seek for the light [like what I have been through before], or be their inspiration. • Or simply to exchange relevant issues, topics, experiences and stories. • And to share the wisdom I have learned from my continuous search.

Now, since this is my very first personal site, I chose insearch4you rather than atenean101. The word[s] just mean a lot to me. It means a lot of things that I`ve been through and that I`m going to go through in my life. As for my own perspective [as what I have been through], our life is a continuous search... for something... for someone or somebody... for the LIGHT.... or even for our own selves. You may actually say that I am in search for someone special, that I am in search for love, that I am in search for friends, or that I am in search for GOD... or even for myself. Fact is it`s all true as I believe that we continue to live each day searching for so many things that life has to offer. And day by day we continue to account what we have searched for, for this and that particular day.

Life is really the most impossible thing we can really have in this world... and making it possible for us to have, is a challenge and a search we have to face everyday.

Have You Met Your Dreams?

[ 1st image is taken from here. ]
[2nd image is taken from here. ]

I have been thinking earlier until now about the message I`ve received from a certain friend. Nothing really is special with the message, just the same usual message I have been receiving from my friends lately, asking me my current condition and how am I doing with my life and all related stuffs. But what makes it different from the rest is the question that really caught my attention - "Have you met your dreams?". Well it`s really not just the usual thing I have been asked before... But maybe it`s because no one had asked me or should I say nobody had tried to ask me that question after I had done the biggest failure in my life. And honestly, after reading it, I have even asked myself "Have I really met my dreams?"

Accordingly, dreams are conditions or achievements which are longed for... are aspirations... are wild fancies... are hopes... And in my own perception, dreams are things that I consider as standard that I need to set, define and fulfill in order for me to better my life. Dreams are essential in everyone`s life. They serve so many purpose but mainly they are subject for nurturing and bettering one`s life and making it worth living for.

Each one of us has dreams. If there`s such one who never dream, then perhaps he/she`s not living at all. Who never dream anyway? Nobody right? Fact is, it`s just part of being human... of being normal beings... And hope you`ll agree with me when I say that each of us do have our very own and unique dreams in life...

So now the question is "Have I met my dreams?". To start with, I would like to emphasize that my dreams are not just merely for myself alone [please don`t raise your eyebrows because I`m just being real], but for my family as well. I still remember when I was just a kid I dreamt to be a successful and famous doctor and that`s because I want to help my family and I want to be the one who shall take good care of them when they`re sick... but that dream will only be just a dream afterall, because one day in my life I`ve just realized that I am not good with things related to medicine at all. And so my dream shifted... From being a successful doctor to being famous achiever... from famous achiever to better person... And to cut it short, right now I just dreamt of being as successful as I can be.

I may have been so damn stupid before for making so many damn stupid mistakes, but I`ve already learned and I know I deserve a second chance. And I`m so thankful to God, to my family, and to all those people who have supported me for they have not left me, and they have continued to inspire me to continue dreaming. Perhaps I could say that I have already met some of my dreams but not the one that I consider ultimate. But I know and I believe that for as long as I am living... for as long as I have still the courage... for as long as I am not giving up my faith... for as long as I will not stop believing in myself... and for as long as I have God, my family and friends, I know I`m going to make it. I`m going to meet my dreams. I know I`m not going to fail this time `coz I am a better person now. Still I know that it`s a long long way road, but then again, I`m not giving up. And I promise, I`m not going to make the same mistake again. Again, I have learned and I am a better person now.
