Everybody knows that enigmatic smile painted on the famous Mona Lisa. Mona Lisa was painted by Leonardo Da Vinci with a big mystery within this painting. Yes, this painting has been the most famous one that even anyone would do something to have it like stealing. We are seeing this inscrutable smile in her and yet, do we even know what is behind this? What is Mona Lisa’s smile for me?



          They say this mysterious smile has caused inspiration for many and depression for others. Italians call her La Gioconda, which means "the light-hearted woman." Basing from this, we can conclude that Mona Lisa is an optimistic and cheery person so the painter pictured her smile more than anything. I say this smile encourages viewers to be inspired. For them to take things lightly, like her based from what others call her. Her smile serves as the intention of her woman soul. The way that she keeps her psyche as happy and as optimistic as she could.
          Well, whatever that smile is, we’re definitely out of it. Judging ourselves, yes, we are just merely observers. Let us just leave that atypical smile on the beholder of anyone who sees it. For the mean time, this painting still serves as the most awesome yet mysterious one for me.




          It was an afternoon of December when I was sitting on a porch. I was amazed with the blue skies and calm sea. I was serenely sitting when an associate of mine appeared before my eyes. It was Yana. I asked her about her summer vacation so far. “I was fine but unfortunately, I was sent to this summer job I don’t like.” Yana moaned. “Summer job? That’s great! What kind of job it is?” I was curious. Yana scratched her chin and answered “Uhm.. Something to do with serving customers in that restaurant over there.”  I stomped my feet “Oh! That’s a nice thing! But why would you-” Yana interrupted “Well I want to enjoy my vacation swimming and strolling down the beach. Not that crappy job being a waitress!”. “Well, alright. If you don’t like to, even though you can get lots of benefit from it, you can refuse your mother.” Yana had her face on the ground and told me she don’t want to disappoint her mother and asked me what to do. I scratched her chin. “Maybe you can just accept the job and take it positively. You’ll see that it is fun to work.” Yana was enlightened. “Well, okay! I’ll do what you said- hoping everything would be fine. Thank you.” She exits the porch and said goodbye.
