Sharing these great news to the world! After 9 years of being friends and boyfriend girlfriend – Tim and I finally got engaged last Saturday, May 19th. It was a wonderful night, had an intimate dinner with family and friends. My relatives got to meet Tim’s parents and relatives. I can’t believe we’re finally getting married!
This blog has been a witness of our super long relationship. And I know it’s happy too that Tim and I are tying the knot. I won’t share when yet though. It’s a surprise.
Sharing with you a photo of that lovely night. Sorry for it being blurry though, our photographer was not a professional. Hehe. This was like the 10th shot and the only one that’s not too blurry.
Happiness! ^_^
I’m unbelievably busy these days because of so many things that I have to attend to plus work, my blogging life, working out, and a lot of aspects in my career. But I’m still easy skanking through it all though, the optimist that I am. So I apologize for delayed blog posts and photos. I will get to them all in due time. Have a happy life everyone!
Someone asked me why does it seem like I am always “happy”? Gave that person really simple answers. I share the “answer” freely with anyone who asks. It’s not a secret. If you want to know it too – then have coffee with me.
But if you don’t have the time to have coffee with me, let me share some thoughts with you today:
Always have a care-free, relaxed, gentle smile.
Don’t be pretentious.
Live in the NOW.
Look on the bright side. These awesome world is for you as well as for your neighbours, so make the best out of all your experiences. In a situation instead of pointing out the bad things – note the good things about it.
Do what you want to do. Just make sure that you are not hurting yourself or anybody else in the process.
Don’t try to become popular. What’s the point? People can smell desperation from a mile away. If they think that you are trying too hard, they may/will want to push you around for fun just to see how far you will go.
Have faith in yourself. Remember this: no one can take away your faith in yourself. If you lose faith in yourself, then why should anyone else have faith in you?
Worrying solves nothing – if it’s that big a deal then make a plan and fix whatever it is that is bugging you. Simple as that.
Keep in mind that life is way too short to care what others think. If they are low enough to criticize you then their opinion is not worth valuing.
If someone makes a rude gesture towards you – ignore them. It makes them look stupid. Trust me on this.
Replace all your worries that are about what other people think about you, with a preoccupation over your own goals, your own achievements and your progress.
Practice Yoga. Meditate.
So these are just some of the stuffs that I try to live everyday. Remember that happiness is not hard to find. You can actually enjoy your life and make the best out of every situation. If you are truthfully happy then other people will not be able to bring you down with their judgments. If other people are truly happy, then you will not be able to bring them down with your judgments. Do not forget that it works both ways. Remember also that experiencing happiness is the definition of success in life.
Want more? Have coffee with me.
I am wishing you all beautiful readers/stumblers of my blog: Inner happiness. Peace of mind. Contentment. Love. Peace. Happiness. Blessings.
Happy Anniversary Noy! Hindi na ko mag-cheesy diri ah ky you know na why. Basta kabalo ka na ah.
Happiness has been your gift to me
All these years of melody and pain,
Pleasure, hardship, wanton rhapsody,
Pure delight and hard, wind-driven rain.
Years do not add up to love and glory:
All things rest on non-things far more true.
No note is so sustained throughout our story;
Nothing but your love, and mine for you.
In our lives must always be confusion:
Very little lost in Time is clear.
Even so, the whirlwind’s an illusion
Regarding the few things we hold most dear.
So you have chosen me, and in that choice
Alone I find my refuge and my voice.
Reality is made by our own will:
You made my world and hold me in it still.
Its 3 hours and 25 minutes before my birthday but many of my friends have sent me greetings already. They’ve sent me text messages, left comments/messages on my Friendster account and through my instant messaging accounts as well. Aaaawwwww…..I’m so touched guys (sob). It’s great to have so many friends. Now I know what Friendster is for. I just love the world wide web.
So..today is Valentine’s Day right? Tim and I really didn’t go on a date. Well we did go malling but we always do that and we don’t really consider it “dating.” Whatever. Hehe. Anyway, wanna know what my bebeh gave me? He’s not the traditional type. While other guys are busy being corny – buying teddy bears, stuffed toys, balloons, hearts, flowers, chocolates, all that stuff – my bebeh funded my facial treatment at Asian Derma Clinic which is located at Robinson’s Place. I tell you the people here are far more better at their job than the ones at Beauty Essentials. You can really see the difference in your face right after the treatment and the result lasts longer too. Hehe. While I was having my face steamed, cleaned, exfoliated, massaged, pricked, medicated and lasered, my bebeh was patiently waiting for me outside. Now who can beat my man?
In keeping with Valentine’s Day, I would like to share with everyone my all-time favorite song. I remember mentioning it in one of my posts here. My favorite song is Heaven Knows by Rick Price. For me it’s the best love song in the whole wide universe and in the world wide web. I know I know I’m really exaggerating today but just leave me alone, this is my blog and I’m feeling happy happy! Yeyyyyyyyy!!! It’s cool to have Valentine’s Day and your birthday in two succeeding days. Anyway, back to Heaven Knows. I know it’s a sad love song. But I just don’t get tired of listening to it.
If anyone hasn’t heard of it yet, here it is. Listen to Rick Price and hear his heartbreaking voice. This is the official music video.
HEAVEN KNOWS
She’s always on my mind
From the time I wake up till
I close my eyes
She’s everywhere I go
She’s all I know
And though she’s far away
It just keeps getting stronger
everyday
And even now she’s gone
I’m still holding on
So tell me where do I start
Cause it’s breaking my heart
Don’t wanna let her go
Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
’cause heaven knows
My friends keep tellin’ me
That if you really love her
You’ve gotta set her free
And if she returns in time
I know she’s mine
So tell me where do I start
Cause it’s breaking my heart
Don’t wanna let her go
Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
’cause heaven knows
Why I live in despair
‘Cause wide awake or dreaming
I know she’s never there
And all this time I act so brave
I’m shaking inside
Why does it hurt me so
Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
’cause heaven knows
Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
Only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
’cause heaven knows
Heaven knows… [ x2 ]
