The rules are easy, just post 10 things that recently made you happy! Then tag 10 people and force them to post this meme on their LJs. Because it is good. Everyone needs a little happiness once in a while.
- People turning 18, including me. I guess it's because aside from having an excuse to dress up, I find partying with friends a relaxing thing, especially amidst stress that is school. And what about my own eighteenth birthday? Despite finals and major requirements, I still had time to celebrate my birthday with family and friends.
- Feeling important, loved and cared for. From birthday greetings, to more birthday greetings, to comments over at Multiply and here in my blog, people's encouraging messages are what keeps me going through this tough situation I am in.
- Parents. They can be super stubborn and extremely irritating at times, but I love them. Yesterday, we went to Greenhills. I had fun, not because I bought some new stuff, but because I get to spend time with them. They were quite in the mood for family bonding. With all the gloomy thoughts in my head, this was the last things I was looking for -- to actually spend time with them, pagkatapos ng katakut-takot na sermon na ginawa sa'kin about my scholarship.
- My grades. Ironic as it may sound, yes, my low grades did make me happy. I came to the point that I cherish every single word my friends say every time they'd cheer me up, I listened to my parents more intently now, I enjoy every single moment being alone and being able to think and pray. This has given me a chance to keep track of the little and simple things I used to take for granted.
- Going out with friends. Whether it's lunch at Choco Kiss, or a swimming overnight at Montalban, Rizal, going out with friends is one thing I always look forward too. I'd trade anything for quality time with friends.
- Sound trip. I have updated my media playlist after one semester. And I have a new stash of mp3 files in my phone. Plus, I started listening regularly to DJ Marco and Miss Dee over at 94.7 every night. Stress release talaga ang makinig sa music.
- Videoke! Haha. Alam niyo naman ako, frustrated singer. Maniniwala ba kayong naka-100 ako nung nag-videoke kami sa Montalban with friends? I'm destined to be a singer, you know. Hahaha!
- Y!M chats and phone calls. I had the chance to talk to Lara, Hazel, Nya and Val last night, after quite some time (last summer?). And for the past few days, I was talking to Carlo on the phone. Masaya kasi silang kausap, so sa kahit ganoong kasimpleng bagay lang, masaya na ako.
- Sleeping for more than 10 hours. After one sem of being deprived of sleep, ngayon lang ako nakakabawi sa tulog. And with the cooler weather, I have more reasons to sleep.
- God. Do I need to explain? :)
Sheesh. Nahirapan ako 'dun. I'm tagging everyone who haven't done this yet. Because I'm really lazy to pick people.
