My First Blog..ever..

First Blog ever written by me....taken from Friendster's Blog..
First Post-First Thought-Luna Pieno
Never started a blog before….actually I never had a reason to. Not that I really have a solid one right now either. It seems very much like writing a diary. Was never really good at that too. Like everything new in life…we’ve got to try it to see how it is. Hopefully this will allow my friends to get to know me a little better and in that process, maybe I’ll learn more about myself too.

Thought I’ll start by telling you guys about one of my favorite things. I have this “thing” for the moon. Especially the FULL MOON! I thought of writing this as yesterday was the biggest full moon of the year here in Hawaii. It’s not like I turn into a crazy person or a werewolf. That’ll be interesting though. Though I have a friend that some of my other friends call the “wereman”. He only seems to show up during the full moon. If not…I hardly see him.

People have always asked me whether I prefer the sunrise or the sunset. I’ve never really liked either. Love the moon though. I guess it’s also the fact that I love the night - people are at their most peaceful, calm after a chaotic day. Quiet. Alone. In tune with oneself. Honest. Unlike the sun, the moon does not show itself everyday at its fullest. It peeks at you, just enough to let you know its there. It leaves you in the dark….but gives you just enough light to find your way. Once in a while, it’ll come out at its fullest and brightest to let you know that it’s more than just the moon. It gives hope...that one can shine just bright as the sun given the right time.

This could all be just an analogy……it could be about someone, something, some situation or some feeling. In all, the moon to me is a symbol – a symbol of hope. Try looking at the moon the next time, and see what you think.
