There are so many things about life that we need to know. So many things to take notice of, so many things to explore and discover. Ahh, there is just so much around. All we need is to take a look and be part of it. Life is amazing. There may be moments of dread, of misery, of difficulties. Yet, undeniably, there are moments to be happy about, to be grateful, to treasure. I am a product of that balance. And with it I look at my life as something unbelievably amazing. These pages will tell you why. Enter my world. And the world is a place where we can discover what life really is. Welcome.

All I know is to go on living, and loving. But how do you love again when there is so much pain in your heart? My heart longs for the same love

Stupid! That was how my mathematics teacher called me once during my senior year in high school. I was in front of the class, on the board, having answered incorrectly a math problem he said was easy. Stunned and stupefied, I could not remember how long have I stood there. I thought my legs kept me from moving, when so many eyes were upon me, I was enveloped with embarrassment and numbness. After the class, I declined to have my lunch, afraid that my classmates would poke fun at me. And yes they did, behind me (which i would learn later). That was the turning point of my life with mathematics. I really could not blame my teacher. Mathematics was something I detest then, and it was my waterloo. But that unfortunate incident, it dawned upon me that I better put myself together and redeem myself. Not to prove to my teacher that I am what he thinks I am, I embarked on a journey. And this I did with mathematics as company. Years later, I earned my degree in mathematics. When it came to my t
