Like A Pearl

Hey dudes and dudettes, know what? Apparently 'Keshi' is the name given to some rare and unique pearls from the Tahitian seas :) I just found out by reading a newspaper article in Aus about them and was jaw-dropped when I read the name 'Keshi' in it. I was like WHOAAA now I'm a pearl?? And so I set out on a mission of acquiring more knowledge about Keshi pearls that lead me to this net article. I haven't been a huge fan of pearls so far but suddenly I have developed this curiosity to buy some pearly jewellery, although I'm not sure it will suit me. Let's take a risk ha ;-).

Pearls are created inside an oyster somewhere deep beneath the seas...how fascinating. Isn't it just like all of us? We are all created inside our mothers' wombs, hidden away from the world. But when we are born, do we continue to shine just like the pearls do? Do we maintain our pureness and values no matter in who's hands that we have to deal? Pearls are not humans but they retain their beauty and value forever, whereas a human who's gifted with so much thinking power sometimes find it hard to maintain the beauty of the soul. Why, cos we are incessantly seeking for more and more in life hence we get disappointed at the end of the day. Can we just stop for a while, stop and stand still while the whole world may pass us by? Be still like the beautiful pearl..be what you are...continue to shine no matter what happens around you. Be like the pearl that grew in a mucky place, that even left it's ocean-home and came out to make people's lives brighter and beautiful. Just like how the Sandalwood continues to emit a magical scent even as it is being felled. Be a bright beautiful pearl in the lives of the people you know. Can we atleast try? I'm not being preachy or something, but these thoughts came to my mind when I set my eyes on the pearls. Suddenly I wanted to be like those pearls who never lose it's beauty and value no matter what. I think I'll try from today.

Now to some other WHOAA news - I bought a brandnew mobile phone! I'm stoked to bits cos it looks sleek and sexy and has many many many functionalities that I haven't even explored yet. I only bought it last night and was too excited to even read the guide cos I was busy just staring at it. hehe seems like Im beginning to fall in love with electronics since most of the real men are either taken or seem to have gone on a permanent holiday when it comes to Keshi - well you never know, I might even have a wedding invitation being sent your way reading 'Keshi marries Nokia' hehe. Another great thing that happened was that Avik, one of my long-term blogger pals, is about to become a dad and has decided to name the baby 'Keshi' (if it's a girl ofcourse). Now isnt that so sweet and I was really touched by his genuine friendship and appreciation of me. I hope that baby girl turns out to be non-Nokia-loving sane girl some day ;-). Good luck with daddyhood Avik! Yes to another WHOAA event now - it's my sister's bday tomorrow and we are having a party...she hates parties unlike me but she couldnt get away with that with a being called Keshi living in the same house lol. So yes we are having a party and I got her Guess sunnies and a gorgeous black and white embroidered skirt shhhhhhh don't tell her yet! She's gonna faint I know - I just hope she'll wake up before the guests arrive so that she can lay the table while I dance non-stop. And today's music is from our very own Aussie singer Shannon Noll, enjoy and have a good one guys!
