That is because '=life=' was considered more likely than what you are  
using.
Org-mode is using a heuristic method to figure out what is a normal  
equal sign, and what introduces code.  Feel free to play with the  
variable `org-emphasis-regexp-components' and see if you can come up  
with something that works for you.
