HAPPINESS is...

     Having my own Jollibee TLC after today's work (can't remember when was the last time I ate one or even a burger at that);
     Having practiced two songs today from our repertoire (my choir is getting better every time we practice);
     Having spent more time with myself and God (had a Bible study this morning);
     Having someone appreciate the same music you love listening to. (someone asked me to copy my Il Divo songs to her playlist)

It could have been a bad day (someone was bugging me at the office but I totally ignored him) but I decided to be happy. I hope you did the same thing today...

Addendum:
Just a coincidence, while having a break, a friend showed me a forwarded text from his friend:

     Everyday is a chance to be happy - it's our choice how to be.

  3. wow Xian. I am amazed by the amount of time you give for Him. I even forget to pray most of the time..

    I got a tickle from the text message. It sent me to thinking.

  4. modesty aside, for the past 8 months, i am proud to say that my Bible and rosary had been my most priceless possession. i find happiness whenever i am reading the Bible or praying the rosary. they're of such great comfort for me...
