ABOUT THE AUTHOR

There has been another stimulating and yet a funny conversation with my son when we unfortunately lost our internet connection for sometime now. So, I asked him to bring our laptop to his father and search through internet and download pictures of a crying woman as this was the idea of a picture cover I want for this book. What he told me made me giggled. He casually suggested taken a picture of myself while I was crying and I laughed so hard. Well, if that's the case, this could be a bestseller! However, my son's innocence is extremely amusing. He never even realizes how it made me feel so light and made me smile during those rough times. It seems like everything is easy to be dealt with. That's the beauty of it, more often than not; it hinders us to feel anything at all. I heard someone says, "What you don't know won't hurt". It's actually a reality we have to face. Sometimes we tend to lie just to avoid someone getting hurt especially the one we love. 'Cause in the real world, the truth hurts the most. But we all have to be brave enough to face the truth even if it will give us so much pain to endure and even if our hearts aches again and again, life has to move on and we should learn to smile again. Therefore, I believe that pain is always there to teach a lesson for us to ponder. We just have to make the best of it to make us WISER and STRONGER.
