TANONG: Are you enjoying your life?
UGAT NA TANONG: Ano ba ang kasiyahan?
I was talking to Miggy about this this morning and we concluded (:D) that
a) enjoying something is based on happiness, since, if you enjoy something, it means that for that single moment, regardless of what's really going on in your life, you're happy, and
b) enjoying your life and happiness, it's the same thing as totoo and katotohanan. Ang totoo, totoo lang yun para sa'yo kasi ikaw lang yung nakaranas, habang yung katotohanan naman, tinatanggap bilang totoo ng lahat ng tao dahil lahat sila, naranasan na o naramdaman na na totoo 'to. Kaya, kung tinanong mo yung sarili mo, "Am I enjoying my life?", and follow it up with "Ano ba ang kasiyahan?" parang ine-evaluate at kinukumpara mo yung totoo (para sa'yo) sa katotohanan.
Hmmmmm. Well anyway, that probably didn't make much sense cause I'm bad at Filipino and if I'm writing in particularly horrible Taglish, it means I'm struggling with what I wanna say. :] But there.

Last night, I had a dream that I was gonna have a baby. Which makes it the second dream I've had about being pregnant... UHM, why???? :|
... Well, actually I wasn't really gonna have a baby but a fortune-teller predicted I was gonna have one in the very near future. She was studying some tarot cards and the last one she pulled out had this comic strip on it. There was a blond girl, facing a really handsome guy, and she said, "Listen, I have to tell you something." The next frame of the comic was the two of them looking at each other warily. The fortune-teller said I'd get pregnant in the very near future because I was addicted to excitement. Yeah, that's sort of what she said. :)) I don't really wanna share her exact words but, they were kind of insulting. I remember feeling annoyed and nervous.
