May mga bagay sa mundo na sadyang nakakapagpaligaya sa tao.
Hayaan niyo po akong ibahagi sa inyo ang para sa akin ay dahilan bakit napapangiti ako.
ANG SAMPUNG BAGAY NA NAKAKAPAGPASAYA KAY JOYA
Hours ago, I was on the telephone talking to my boyfriend deciding if we really have to drop something we really wanted a month ago. And it really pained me since that whatsoever would and should have been a reminder of my craziness last year. I was so frustrated and hurt. I was so down and I wanted to cry.
But thank God for such a therapeutic talker, he eased me out of the sadness telling me the many things we should be looking forward to and that when God closes a door, He not just opens a window "but the whole rooftop" I added.
Now, as suggested by a friend, here are the ten things that makes me smile on a tough moment.
DISCLAIMER: The rankings may be odd and the list may be silly but don't get me wrong these are things. Small things that just brighten me up. Please don't expect answers like Family and Love. They are not things in the first place.
1. WATER --- H2O.
Yup, whether it is for drinking or cleaning. Water is one thing I cannot live happily without. Remember when we were sent inside the PBB slums, we have to survive a day with only 10 pails of water for 14 housemates? That was so difficult. The new set of housemates were adjusting to being away from our comfortable lives and another blow is to be sane without water. Not to mention that the female housemates were having that time of the month? Kalowka! And so when we did have a chance to win the luxurious water (desert lang ang peg?), we did everything we can. Personally, water is everything. After a tiring day, just give me a great shower and I'm fine. I remember the first thing I did after I got evicted--- take a bath for at least an hour.
2. Could there be any yummier than an UBE ICE CREAM?
Native to Philippines, this purple-colored eye candy and mouth sweetness is an ultimate childhood to adulthood feast to almost all Pinoys. Whoever invented ube ice cream is my Einstein!
3. DARK DENIM JEANS
I will never exchange my dark denim jeans! They are just fashionable, comfortable and will certainly be alive 100 years from now. They will never be out of style. When jeans were accidentally made during the gold rush era, it meant only one thing, the rush is not in ores
but in jeans.
4. NIKE Sports Bag
I'm a self confessed sucker for anything Nike. Ehem! Paging Nike Philippines? From shoes, to shirts to flipflops and ultimately their bags - knapsack, gym bags and sling bags. Grabeh! I am convinced with their philosophy. I often told my boyfriend before that he is such a brand conscious buyer, he corrected me by saying he just wants quality - and yes, with Nike, I agree.
5. FLAT FOOTWEARS
You would always find me wearing flats. Although I'm a great fan of extremely high-heeled shoes, I am slowing down on them after my doctor advised me to minimize the use of tall shoes since it aggravates my back pains. Bye! Bye. But since I will still opt comfort and not just because I am a good patient, my flats are a constant companion.
6. JOURNAL NOTEBOOKS + PEN
I like taking down notes, writing facts, quotes and just doodling anything that crosses my mind especially when I'm at airports. I don't have an iPad so I'll just do great with my pen and the pages of my journal notebooks. These notebooks, whether expensive or affordable are my latest addiction. I love looking at beautifully designed covers and I particularly fancy the nature-friendly & recycled notebooks that are sold in stores now. Whenever people ask me what do I want as gift, I always say a journal notebook, but it also wouldn't hurt if an iPad is coming.
7. PAULO COEHLO'S BOOKS
I am such a Paulo Coehlo fanatic. I like how he writes and does magic with words. He was introduced to me by a friend and since then I have read 80% of his books and what else could make me even love him more when he himself, the great Paulo Coehlo retweeted me:
ANSABE?!!! me already!
8. RED VELVET CAKE
Give me red velvet and I'll be a good girl with a big red smile :-)
9. SOAPS
It may be rooted to my OC personality, but gosh, I'm just freakin' addicted to soaps. I love how using soaps make feel so clean and fragrant. I confess that I think I've tried almost all of the soaps in the market. HAHA!
10. DRINKS or any thirst quencher
Obey your thirst so you'll find HAPPINESS.
There you go, these are basically the things that make me happy. Things that I run to in times of sorrow.
But then again, these are just superficial and external, happiness are from within. We define our own happiness and we don't depend on the availability of things in the market.
Now, even if I get frustrated earlier on, what I did was still to talk about my emotions to someone who gives me the happiness that is beyond the ten things listed above.
