This makes me happy. And there are still thousands of things that could give me happiness, now I’m going to share a few. If you read this, why don’t you think of your own happiness and click on the comment button. Share your thoughts. I would love to read them.
1. Sleeping soundly on a cold, rainy night is just so wonderful. I love sleeping and rainy night is just so perfect for this one.
2. Seeing a cute baby girl being cradled in her mother’s arms. Heartwarming.
3. Having conversations while eating dinner with my parents. I laugh at every bite because Papa is such a clown. He jokes around almost every day.
4. Eating chocolates when I’m having my period. Yeah, it increases my serotonin. And minimizes my bad temper. Wonderful.
5. Staring at my crush after summoning up all my courage, just to see that he’s already staring at me. I’m melting on my knees. Super great.
6. Watching my favorite movie in the theater with my good, old friends after a belly-bloating meal. Awesome.
7. Watching the anime Chobits several times, and still find myself in tears. The story is just so sweet.
8. The feeling of having butterflies in my tummy whenever I see the person I really like, or having heartbeats in fast rhythm because he walked pass by me, and I thought I was getting sick. That is the most wonderful feeling actually.
9. Sitting beside a cute guy in a bus who started talking to me. (This happened last year). He had the guts to even ask for my facebook account. This is not awesome, nor great. But I can call it fun.
10. Dreaming about taking the board exams again (oh, this is such a nightmare) and I woke up to realize that it was all but a dream. What a relief.
11. Reading myths about mermaids stirs my interest. I want to be, if not a fairy, a mermaid. This is serious.
12. Going to class at 8:10 AM, which actually starts at 7:30 AM, and I ended up not being reprimanded by the teacher at all. I miss this one.
13. Spending the whole afternoon in the library because my ultimate crush in the university was there. He eats peas. Too bad he only sees me as a sister.
14. Taking an afternoon nap beside my 9-year-old cousin who talks nothing but his fighting strategies in dOTA, Crossfire and Special Force. He mumbled and I was lulled into a deep slumber.
15. Drinking coffee in mid afternoon while listening to my grandmother’s old stories in the farm. She talks a lot about some rare fruit-bearing trees and her little carabao named Rosel. I guess I saw that carabao when I was little.
16. Doing an all-night videoke and beer-drinking session with my college buddies. This is really fun.
17. Going to school unprepared for a scheduled quiz, then I learned later that my professor was absent. No quiz. Now that is happiness.
18. Watching the classic Tom and Jerry cartoons. I love their tandem. The cartoons can make my eyes close in just a few minutes of watching them. Could be use as an alternative for a lullaby (in case you are having insomnia)
19. Reading detective and murder stories by Agatha Christie. The plot, the characters, the modes of killing and macabre—they give me the thrill.
20. Buying an aquarium fish from a stall outside the school. I wondered why the fish had such a bloated belly, just to find out the next day that she was pregnant, and she gave birth that night. The bad thing is, all her offspring died. But the thought that I bought a pregnant fish is just so cute.
21. Double-dutch flavored ice-cream. It takes away all my problems.
22. Grabbing my sketch pad and doing some sketches when I feel bad. I like to draw and I love my hands, because they allow me to do so many wonderful things.
23. Walking under the rain. Sometimes, I don’t really care if I get soaked, or I get messy. I’m not an organized person after-all.
24. Discussing with my father the movies we watched, like 500 Days of Summer and Letters to Juliet, or Pearl Harbor. He would then explain to me the point of view of different characters, in his own point of view. Then he would start talking about his childhood, of how he struggled to live his life. I would never get tired listening to his stories.
25. Curling my hair with a curling iron. I’m a girl, and I love playing with my hair sometimes. This made me wish I had sister so I could have someone to braid my hair, or share my nail polish with.
