The Search for the Lost Pearl

Obviously the photo header is not a picture of pearls…

Those are for the PARADUSDOS that Nanay cooked for me during my vacation.

But precious gems can take the form of anything that gives us happiness, fulfillment and contentment from within
They are people that we cherish, love and care
They are safe inside the jewel box called HOME
They are the friends we wanted to share our life with.
The precious someone, the way you see them sparkle though miles away from you,
They are mementos that provide sweet memories of the past.
Gems can be found on the music we wanna hear every time we cry, that will give back the grin on our faces.
Sometimes they are also on places we wanted to be, only hidden.
Sometimes they take the form of our favorite food, on the lines of our favorite poem or the dialogue of our favorite movie.
Though some of the gems around us are fancy, we should be cautious on identifying them. They are everywhere but amongst the fancy, lies the most coveted pearl of all, just waiting to be discovered.
Join me on the search for the lost pearl of my life…

Lets search one ocean at a time.

A real pearl: My Nanay’s Paradusdos…
