3 Smiles for February 1

I always say to myself that I must be generous enough to share my smile to everyone and anyone, even to strangers whom I think deserves it.  Anyway, it is not that hard, right? And that I've proved today when three strangers gave me their smiles that made my day.

SMILE #1: Manong Guard at MRT Shaw Blvd. Station 

After my struggle in MRT which I thought will ruin my February 1, there he was smiling and said "Good morning ma'am, in love na in love po ah?" I don't know what's with me for him to think that way (or maybe the word "in love ako" was written on my forehead. haha!) but whatever it was, I smiled back and said "thank you manong, ikaw din eh!" Bolahan na lang kami para pareho kaming masaya. haha!

SMILE #2: Mister Donut Crew

The heart-shaped balloons attracted me to buy doughnuts at Mister Donut and as I was standing in front of the stall and one of the crews are preparing, another crew greeted me with a sweet smile saying, "Good morning ma'am! Happy valentine in advance! Ano pong sa inyo?" Another smile that helped me smile back at him as I say my order. Maybe, that crew is also in love. haha!

SMILE #3: Guy inside a Red Car

I was about to passed by the road but the traffic lights turned to green which means that the vehicles must go. I want to run before the jeepneys and other vehicles moved but I was afraid (yes, trauma because of my accident). I was waiting for the vehicles to stop when a red car stopped. I looked at the traffic light but it is still green then I saw the driver inside the car smiling at me and giving me the signal to pass by. Though thinking why, I just smiled back and walked because that might cause traffic jam if I don't (because he's waiting me to pass by).

 

I don't know what's with today that everyone feels so happy. Now I know the real power of a smile. It can turn a bad day into a good one. It can make you feel happy and lovely. We don't know what a smile can do to someone just like what those people did to me so never hesitate to give one if you feel to. I will not be so greedy of my smiles, that's a promise.

And this is the start of my February, it's great! I hope that the whole month will be as good as this one.

Hello February!

Hello Smilessss! :))

Happy 2011! ♥ ♥ ♥

My new year this year is the most tiring yet the most awesome New Year I've had in my 20 years. So many thing happened and I am just so happy of it all. From New Year's Eve 'til the evening of January 1, I was so busy doing 'this and that' but that made my start of the year the best one.

And these were the things that I did as I ended 2010 and started the year of the Metal Rabbit.

1. Made graham cake for us and for Den's family. 

2. Last minute shopping plus bonding with Pao 

(muntik pa kaming di makauwi dahil wala ng masakyan. haha!)

3. Prayed and celebrated New Year with my family 

(kahit nagbrown out at exactly 12mn).

4. Went to Den's place to celebrate with them.

5. Attended the dedication of my first inaanak, KC, this year.

6. Celebrated with Myla and Jeng.

Any celebration is definitely worthwhile as long as it is celebrated with our family and other loved ones. :)

Many thanks Lord for another year! I know, You have prepared a lot of exciting stuffs for us this year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! HAPPY 2011! ♥ ♥ ♥

i just love these two words - THANK YOU :)

This was my facebook status a while ago because it is Thanksgiving Day in America. 

I just thought that these two words are both simple but are so powerful. These two words are also taken for granted by us most of the times especially in this busy world of ours. But I guess, these two words are the ones that we must utter the most because it can give joy to anyone and to yourself also.

When I give something to someone, I seldom expect for something in return. All I want to hear are those two words and that will make my day. Seriously, I feel sad when those words are not being used because I know how it feels to hear when someone says that to me and I love hearing it. In fact, if I were to hear it again and again, I will never get tired of it, I'll be more glad and happy.

These two words must be used by us even for the simple things that we are receiving. From the time that we woke up everyday to the time we sleep at night, there are lots of things that we must be thankful for.

So let me have this chance to say thank you for some important things in my life.

• Thank you Lord for my life. Everyday is such a blessing, new day means new chapter of my life.
• For my family for all the unconditional love and everything.
• My friends, for being true. I don't need a lot, just few true will be enough.
• For the work, love life, mentors and other people who care, THANK YOU!
• and may i just add, for the problems and trials in life, thank you also for making me stronger person.

Let us be thankful for everything that is happening in our life (a very used line of mine). Good or bad, happy or sad, always say THANK YOU. Anyway, it is not hard to say that, right?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! :)
