When I went to Bali last August 2011, I only had one goal in mind. And that was to meet Ketut Liyer and have my palm read by him. I thought I could use a wise man’s advice that time. I knew this was a stupid question but I asked him what I should do with my life. He doesn’t speak much English but he gave me three answers: (1) Travel, (2) Write, (3) Publish. His first answer did not surprise me at all because I know that traveling is my passion; it keeps my blood pumping. But the last two – hmm – made me doubt him a bit.
Ketut trying to convince me that I’ll be married twice.
But then I suddenly remembered, I wrote several Filipino feature articles about people in one of my university’s official publications for almost two years. So maybe, Ketut has really got a point. During the past few weeks, I just felt like I needed to write about something and it didn’t take me long to decide on putting up this blog and just write about my journey, as I live my dream to travel the world.
I am Lynette and my plan is very simple: Live life while I can, while I’m young.
The Impossible Dream
I’m naming this travel blog after a Coldplay song which is a personal favorite, “Viva La Vida”. It means “Live Your Life.” I just added one word to emphasize how I want to do it. “Hoy “+ Viva La Vida. Hoy. NOW. I want to do it now. I want to live my life NOW. Even Albert Einstein agrees with me, “Never worry about the future. It comes soon enough.”
Or maybe I’m just a little bit crazy. 🙂
So follow me on my travels and I’ll do my best to take as much good photos as I can.
For now, just enjoy this song while thinking about your next trip. I hope I get to travel with you somewhere. We can learn from each other and be crazy together! Ciao!
Hoy Viva La Vida
