6 Things That Make Me Happy

-
Mimi of Sleepless in KL tagged me with this. In order for her to know what makes me happy, these are my answers. I love to share these things to you too. She asked for just six, but there are really more that make me happy. Read on to know them...

1. My Kids - They are the most precious thing that ever happened to me and even if I get crazy over their antics, I just can't help adoring them and watching them transform into the kind of people I would want them to be someday. They sure are my bundle of joy, and they are my reason for living, yes, honestly. Because of them, I can go to the office and work, and not complain. I can only thank God because of them.

Biboy, 8 and Tabebs, 2

2. A Worry-Free Life - I am happy because as many others suffer, I am glad to be the lucky one. I don't really have enough things to worry about, except I guess for bills and the kids growing up. I worry not because there are just too many favors God has given me and my family that I am happy because they keep coming. I love to share, and sharing makes me happy too.

3. Additional Books, Stamps, Coins, Postcards - My books and other collections make me happy. I can only grin and say thanks to the person who can add to my collections. I have been an addict in having them but they are my treasure. I love receiving postcards and sticking out stamps from envelopes that my friends trade to me. I giggle when hubby approves of me buying another book for my shelf.



4. Chocolates - As Mimi of SleeplessinKL has listed, this also makes me happy. I am happy especially when people from far away decides to come home and bring goodies to me and the kids, the thought brings a smile to their lips and to mine as well. Who wouldn't be happy when you are thought of, right?

5. Thoughts of Progress - Hubby and I are planning of moving to the new house this 2009, this makes me so much happy because finally, we can have a place of our own and to think that we have acquired the property for more than a year and no one stays in it. I love the thought of us staying and bonding together, enjoying each other's company and growing as life allows us to. The thought of having a car and the other favors that might soon come, bring a smile to my lips. can only count the many blessings...

we hope to permanently stay in this house very soon...

6. Comments - Who is not happy with getting comments in your post? I love it when I open my place and there are comments. I just hope they're good ones...

I am tagging Anah of What's da Buzz and Maidapaypay for this. If you're not so busy, let me know what makes you happy girls, perhaps we could make your world happier?

Mapapasmile ka talaga kapag tinitingnan mo ang mga collections mo and it reminds of special people. pero walang makakahigit sa kaligayahn na nadudulot ng mga anak.

I really like your number 2, and right now that I'm really stressed, I really should try to worry less and live more. Thanks for sharing your list and reminding me that there's so much to live for other than worry and stress...sigh.

it's so difficult to narrow it down to 6, no? :) that's why i purposely left out my 3 passions in life ((my kids, travel & photography) from my list to make it shorter hehe.

Warning! Allergic Reactions Appear

And what would that be? You would surely ask that. Last week, I found myself scratching my legs because they are so itchy. There's this blotches in it wherein the skin looks like it has been stung by a bee, or a mosquito bite. I scratched it and whoa, it became wider. It was all over my legs, mostly near below the knee part. I was aghast at what has become of my legs, and thinking it was allergy from something, I bought myself Celestamine for the allergy. Celestamine is an anti-allergic medicine. However, this med will surely keep you drowsy. A few hours after I had the pill, the itch and the blotches were gone, leaving my legs some map-kind of red leftover from my scratches. And so i was happy. The following day, I had been watching my diet and the foods I eat, thinking the allergy came from the santol I had(though I ate none of it again), the blotches were again visible in my legs. This time, it spread through my arms, and my hands. I felt very itchy that I could only cry my e...

Famous Cultural Landmark in Surallah, South Cotabato

We went to Lake Sebu last Saturday to celebrate my brother's 16th birthday, and while on our way to witness the majestic falls, we were already planning to drop by Surallah to check out their most famous cultural landmark, the round ball. I do not really know how it was named the Round Ball since it seems so redundant to be called as such but to question it, honestly, won't give you much intelligent answer as we also have round balls in Koronadal City and General Gantos City. Actually a rotunda, but ever since has been called the Round Ball. Unveiled last March 15, 2011, it’s towering, obelisk-like central piece of a 2-string lute points straight to heaven , silhouetted by the blue sky at more than 60 feet above the ground. Called he’galong by indigenous T’bolis, the slim lute seemingly grows from the core of a huge, endemic , bulb plant bohong, the elongated leaves of which spread out in radial fashion . ( via ) I have heard about this new landmark that Surallah boasts o...

The First Ever Traditional B'laan Wedding Ritual I Witnessed

It was a beautiful Saturday morning when we visited Kinilis, in Polomolok. I was with Nanards and two visiting friends from Davao City, Emi, and her American husband, Joshua. They wanted to go see the kafe balos because it has been very famous now, and they wanted to invest into the business. Sir Fred mentioned there was a tribal wedding that very day so it was a fortunate day for us to witness something different, a customary tribal wedding rite. We went inside the house for they explained to us that the traditional B'laan wedding is being held inside the house of the bride where the couple has to sit on a mat and surrounded by relatives and witnesses. The bride was very beautiful that day, she was adorned with T'nalak inspired accessories, and her hair was placed with a beautiful headdress made of brass. Her hips was surrounded by a brass belt where hundreds of small bells were making noise each time she moves. And she was fully clothed in a colorful B'laan attire, and s...
