	<description>When one is young, self-assurance and confidence in oneself seem to be the order of the day. These two qualities can even make one seem infallible. But as age catches up with one, these same two qualities seem to lose its strong grip, and one comes to realize one is not the mister-know-all, after all. I am at this stage in life, and my sole aim now is to seek self-improvement and to acquire wisdom so that happiness can be my fruit. Hope through this blog, I can have the opportunities to come into contacts with many fellow seekers of happiness.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[My blog bears the name &#8216;Serendipity Hopeful&#8217; and I am just that. I harbor in me the serendipitous expectation wherever I go and in whatever I do.
