Simple things
People are often looking very hard to find happiness. Ironically, when you think about it, happiness doesn’t always have to be something big or major. Sometimes, the things that can actually put a huge smile on your face are just around the corner.
10 Simple Things That Can Make Me Happy
1. A perfectly prepared coffee—a little bit bitter but with a hint of just the right amount of sweetness. I’m also in love with its almost hypnotizing aroma.
2. Simple gestures of concern from people I love. Like asking me if I have eaten lunch or something, telling me that I needed to rest, preparing the kind of food I’d like to eat, giving me a glass of water when I’m so into my studies that I couldn’t even drink though I’m absolutely thirsty, giving me a gentle hug, checking if I have gone to bed…those kinds of stuff.
3. Catching my favorite song on the radio or my favorite music video on MTV.
4. Not forwarded sms from persons dear to me. Especially the ones with my name on the message.
5. The sight of my room. With Hello Kitty, shelves of book, purple stuff and pictures on it.
6. Quiet moments when I’m alone or I’m the only person who is awake. Especially during the ungodly hours of 11:00 up to 2:00 am.
7. My darling, Vi. On the television, on my computer, on my diary, on my planner, on my room’s wall, on my phone, on the movie house, on commercials, on my scrapbook, on the Internet and on posters. Gosh, I swear, I can really see stars whenever I see images of her. Imagine what more whenever I see her personally. Especially when she smiles at me.
8. The nature. Yeah, all those trees, mountains, flowers, fluffy clouds, animals and the beaches.
I feel amazingly good at the sight of these.
9. A good book. Or any piece of written art.
10. Sweetened Nata De Coco, cheesecake, McNuggets Meal, apple pie, dark chocolate, Coke
See? You don’t really need to seek too hard or search too far to be happy. Sometimes, you don’t even need to spend a single centavo. For happiness, the real happiness is priceless.
