Review: A Journey Through Life
I was surfing through blogshares just before knocking off for the day and a curious ad about winning a premium blogshares membership caught my eye. To the uninitiated, blogshares is a fantasy stockmarket based on the value of blogs. Read more here.
The competition was a simple task of reviewing Laila's blog. Out of curiousity I clicked on the link and started reading her blog, 'A Journey Through Life' which I found to be very interesting. She writes from the viewpoint of a single parent in the Phillipines providing me a better understanding of a facet of life in a neighbouring ASEAN country.
After skimming through several months of archived posts, she comes across to me as a very warm and caring person trying to live life with meaning, guided by faith. Some posts were truly heart warming, touching on friends and family - the people who really matter to us. Her unspoken hopes for her children which touched me and reminded me of my own parents' sacrifices to see me through my education abroad. Perhaps this was an apt reminder that a parent's love is boundless yet it is not easy to be a parent.
Her journey through the world of blogshares, is nothing short of astounding. Shrewd and aggressive and at the same time warm and generous- she definitely deserves unstinting praise as to how she got on top. If this was the real world and not a virtual one, those on top would not have gotten there through generosity and virtue.
All in all, reading this blog was somewhat an eye opener, a different flavour indeed as compared to all the blogs I have been reading recently, mainly by people my age.
Thank you Laila for sharing.
