this is a start, and this is taking off...

2010 has been a rather interesting year for me, and to be frank, it's by far NOT the best year of my life. I've somewhat lost faith in life. I no longer have hopes for anything. For that all i once believed in life, have presented themselves as empty hopes and ideals. BUT i was once the girl who thought one of the best moment in cinema is in American Beauty - where a plastic bag floats in air, going anywhere wind would take it. I was that girl who believed beauty is everywhere you look.

An opportunity shows up, that i booked a trip to do a gorilla trekking trip in Uganda for later this month. It will be a life refreshing, soul searching, dream come true, enlightening, a get-away experience.... for those who know me, know that I've been fascinated with gorillas. They are the core human nature stripped away the civilization. With a bad reputation and an incorrect one, of them being vicious and angry, they actually have a nickname - the gentle giants!

I'm a bit nervous, for that I'll be traveling alone during my time in Uganda, with a guide, of course. People are worried about me, and have been showing concerns that I might not be coming back alive due to the poachers, or even the unstable politics that's been going on in East Africa. In truth, I have nothing to loose right now. And even if anything unfortunate happens, I'd be glad that at least I tried everything in life, even this dream to see the gorillas in person! AND of course, nothing bad is going to happen to me! That being said, when i do come back, it will be interesting to see how much my perceptions in life have changed. I want to find out what and who will i remain caring about, and what not.... what will i want in my life.... or how will i contribute my life to this world....

So i say, this is my first blog, it's a new start, a new journey. This is also taking off....

This is the - Making of the Silent Stars....
