The city noises become louder as you grow nearer.
The cars are honking with impatience, the engines running with the anticipation of moving forward.
The people in the shops are yelling, trying to sell their merchandise.
The smell of food is so strong it causes your mouth to water.
The smell of food tempts you to try some.

You glance around for a good look at your surroundings.
The skyscrapers and other buildings tower over you, as if they appear to be challenging you.
Their height shows you the power and secrets they hold with them.
The city is bustling with people, crowds and crowds of them.
There are cars everywhere, covering every street.
There are shops, some big some small, eagerly greeting customs in.

During the day the bright sunlight illuminates the city.
It seems as if to bounce off the skyscrapers.
And at night a dark shadow captures the city.
The moon hardly gives any light.
All you can see are lights of all the buildings.
It is as if the city is putting on a light show in the darkness of the forbidding night

&quot;I would rather hated million times for what i did then loved a million times for what i didn&#039;t do.&quot; - Daniel Moto<br /> &quot; I&#039;ve sought out to be the best i could posibly be but when i hit a roadblock in life what did i do, i had two choices either stay at the roadblock or i take this roadblock and make of it and go around it and achieve my goal. So, what will it be?&quot;- Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &quot;People take love like its a four letter word or just a phrase that you tell people or your friends all the time. But in reality love is much bigger than a merely phrase or 4 letter word. Instead love is a genuine promise or covenant to that special person.&quot;-Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;Why change yourself when you were made perfect and wonderfully by the creator of everything?&rdquo; &ndash; Daniel Mathia <br /> <br /> &ldquo;If live is not hurtin then were really not living in.&rdquo; &ndash; B.
