Silverlines,
Wow, you're too kind... Thank you.
And your comment also did us some good:
The thing is, not all of us here at IA actually read Al's posts. (Some like to pretend they're busy).
They thought they just let Al take the reign of this blog and do 'whatever that can cheer him up'.

So when we forwarded your comment around, they are all

nCy . vLa,
Thank you for sharing your experience of losing your phone.
Yes, it is good to have a phone-free life once in a while (but not by being forced to it by having our phone stolen...)

Colson,
Thank you. The writer did admit that he went through a 'period of rage'. So you are not alone...

YuGho,
Indeed!

You know what, I printed the story and read them before bed. All series (by far) of the journey of a broken heart.
Some blessings in disguise? :D

But I like the philosophical way of Al looking at things he found during his trip.
Par Fait!!!

i really enjoy your story and totally agree with it. More and more ppl are taking pictures while traveling that they forget to enjoy it with their own eyes and heart. :)

To draw wisdom from an unpleasant experience demands philosophical talents.

I would love to say I would do the same. But unfortunately I only can imagine myself raging in a similar situation, though actually I could do with a few pair of socks less as well.. Not so much the theft itself, but the thought of some rascal invading my privacy...

An inspirational post though.

i totally agree ..
it's true that from all the wardrobe we have, usually we only wear one third of them regularly..
especially women ;) .. i do wardrobe recycling once a year..

I'm catching that the baggage could be a metaphor for our past as well?
sometimes the past haunts someone until he/she can't move on, and of course it needs to be unloaded ..

Kamil,

You described it beautifully:
"Everyone wants to capture the moment, but none wants to live it."

Feel free to forward any of the posts and thank you for the kind words.

Oscar,
That's a good point. The "You can’t truly appreciate something until it’s gone" is still true too, though, depending on the situation.
Thank you

so we should modify the adage that says "You can’t truly appreciate something until it’s gone", then?
i do like your life-free and smell the roses philosophy of yours, sometimes our minds is heavily occupied with agendas and goals, it makes us forget to appreciate the world, as is..

IA (or the guy who made the trip), you're really spelling out what's been running in my head.

Everytime my travel takes me to a foreign land, to places where history took place, where uninhibited traditional rituals are performed, that's every time I see tourists NOT looking and immersing themselves in the activity. No. Everyone now "sees" the world through their
