What makes you HAPPY?
School was more fun than productive, its good to have a break once in a while from all the stress school puts me through. I only attened one class out of the possible three, but I had good reasons so it's not technically skipping, plus Queenie never skips. HAHA! I did not go to Photography because we had a supply and the work assigned for today, I had already completed last night for homework. See, I am ahead of the game, so I snuck out while the supply who looks like Ghandi wasn't looking. Prior to that, I gave him my assignment and told him I had a meeting with Ms. Latchman, but he kept on bugging me about where to find me and if I was coming back, so I just left. I also had a supply teacher for Chemistry so there was no point in attending while I knew no productive work was going to take place. But during that period I was actually in a meeting with Ms. Latchman filling out forms for the upcoming ESP event. So technically I never lied to Mr. Ghandi Look-a-Like, I did go to a meeting. hehe! The meeting with Ms. Latchman went well, we got everything we wanted to do completed and she nominated me as the MVP for the ESP commitee at school. No, its not a sport, haha it should be Most Valuable Member. She wrote such sweet things about me and at that moment I was proud of myself and felt that these extra curricular activities I do in school are worth while. Now, I'm really looking forward to the ESP event in May 16 and anxious to see if I get any special recognition.
During the hours I missed Photography class, I spent twenty minutes looking for Ian because I wanted to go with him to the post office. I was disappointed when I found out he already left and was on my way back to class when I saw him with Robert outside! I ran, talked about our misunderstanding and decided to eat somewhere at Yonge and Eglinton. So we got ready and took the bus down the street. We decided to either go to McDonalds or Dairy Queen, when we saw that McDonald was packed we crossed the street to Dairy Queen and discovered their Tuesday special: $2 for a double cheeseburger. Yum! So I got that along with my usual Strawberry Cheesequake. As Ian and I were enjoying our meal I find out that Rob is lactose, too bad, he couldnt have some of our ice cream. Haha when Ian offered him cheesebuger, he asked if he was vegitarian too and said this place wasn't for him. Haha! He's not really vegitarian. Anyways, Roberts took out the novel he is currently reading entitled Conversations with God, it looked every interesting so he told us about it and learned that it was about a man who asks God questions we all ponder on and in the novel God does answer back. Ian said it was bias and I agree, the author is making up words to how HE thinks God would answer the questions raised. Interesting, I need to get my hands on this book!
I never had such an intellectual conversation over ice cream and burgers. It is a meal to be always remembered. I was kind of disappointed that it only lasted a short while since we had to return to school for forth period, but the words spoken today is still fresh in my mind. After talking about "faith" Robert raised another topic he discussed in philosophy class. During the times you are content with your life, what is it that makes you happy? Well, Ian and I started saying all the things that makes us happy, fulfillment, accomplisments, to be loved and wanted...then Ian said "The question is am I really happy?" Hmm...well are you? I said that I am happy because i choose to be happy. Ian agreed and said that my life has always been good. But I meant, although there are those times when we are down, we have the option to make the best of it. We either put ourselves down for what ever reason, or move on and focus on the better things in life that will make us happier. I do not ignore the things that brings me down, but I also do not let it bother me for it will only depress me even more. It truly is mind over matter. The things we think becomes reality if we believe it enough. After leaving Dairy Queen, Ian asks, so you choose to be happy, but how much control do you have? Yes, we break down and sometimes cannot control these emotions. And to think positive is difficult when the negative things in mind sometimes over powers it. We all have these moments and we need other people to comfort us and give us advice. I guess I have enough control to get my life back on track when bad events occur. I have enough motivation to keep me going and looking ahead instead of remembering what I did wrong and bring myself down for that. I choose to be happy because life is better that way. So choose, be down and keep thinking of all the negative aspects in your life, or be happy and start doing the things you love. Its all up to you.
