6 Unimportant Things that Makes Me Happy

How can I say ‘NO’ to Meream? It is she who named her sewing machine Lorelai Gilmore and her comrade Emma carries a needle. She sweet talked me into making this list. =)

So here is my list of 6 unimportant things that makes me go ‘OOOHLaLa’

1. My newest addiction is the PropertyPress magazine. http://www.propertypress.co.nz/ I never tire of going over them pages even if I have seen them before. That or the NZ Herald property listing.  Imagining of changing interiors, planting gardens, repainting the exteriors… Give me a property press any day, and I can waste a full day daydreaming.

2. Long drives alone. A ride on the bus already makes me happy. The change in scenery is a natural high for me. I enjoy riding  jeepneys from Echavez to Banilad or the bus from Makati to Katipunan. Everyday commute is my favorite thing to do. I am drawn to stories heard and types of people who rides the bus with me. Mogawas akong pagka – tsismosa.

3. Sardines and Rice, McDonald’s Chocolate Sundae and Apple Pie. Coke. Yeah baby. Food will always make me happy. Maski pa ug buwad.

4. Cleaning the toilet and bath. Making it spotless and smelling of Chlorox. I enjoy this chore. This is the only time I suppose I get to use my OC  genes.

5. On days when my hair decides to behave on me. My Ultimate Nirvana. I don’t have the patience to iron my hair, so nature just needs to do magic spells some days for me. They are sparse but when it does happen, expect a day filled with high spirits.

6. Birthday cards. Written notes. I treasure them all. They just makes me so happy, I cry. And I have to say, they add drama to my life. A few days ago, I received a birthday card from one beautiful soul I met at Multiply. The card would have been enough but she went an extra mile to grab a CD to hush the tears on days when the kids are just so difficult to deal with, bills that are piling up for payment, a husband who can’t understand hormones. She is one of my angels on earth. She knows exactly what I needed.  No matter how unimportant you think it is, your genuine kindness rocks. Thank you Ayen!

 

and to all, feel free to continue on with the tag. Anything that makes one happy will always be important.  Happy Easter!
