Something that can not be Googled and taken by others. Something...deep and in the same time, make people think.&lt;p&gt;Ever since the death of my father back in March of 2007, my head have been submerged with thoughts. Thoughts about my past, my life now, and my future. It is even drenched with thoughts about the world around me and individuals that I came in contact with along this journey. Journey to where you ask? Not to where, but to find the ultimate dream, goal, and happiness.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At times, I wish my head contains a small recorder so that every single one of my thoughts, the saying in my head, and things I don't say out loud can be recorded and later play back. So I can share it to the people I care about and secretly, the world. If such thing can happen, this entire blog would probably be very much different than the one you're about to read.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So at some point when you believe this is all that is going on in a 19 year old girl's head, correct yourself quickly, because this is not all nor is it the end. It is only the beginning, the surface to something deeper than you can imagine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Feel free to comment at anything you are about to read. I would love to hear your thoughts and opinion. We can even, if you wish to do so, carry a decent conversation through e-mail or AIM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I welcome you...&lt;br /&gt;to my world, my thoughts, and my journey.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2684312515442303295-1044901104400119547?l=lifebkhome.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifebkhome.blogspot.com/feeds/1044901104400119547/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2684312515442303295&amp;postID=1044901104400119547' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2684312515442303295/posts/default/1044901104400119547'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2684312515442303295/posts/default/1044901104400119547'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifebkhome.blogspot.com/2008/07/prelude-to-life.html' title='Prelude to Life'/><author><name>Emily "Vertigo" Tang</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10074601077914081029</uri><email>emily.wh.tang@gmail.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='14890436859468537919'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_F7U6T7b4lc0/SHBbSbVvxWI/AAAAAAAAAAg/5yDFsbPawJU/s72-c/berk0420082.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
