count your blessings!
it feels sad to be alone and know that even when you mingle with the world around you, they are not open to accept you anyway…though, how hard one tries to reach out to help others in their time of need but still you are not assured of anybody to be there when you need them…that even if you get hoarse shouting for help, some might hear you but nobody really listens…
but this are moments when one learns to appreciate those people who are always there, voluntary or involuntary… a brother who understands one’s predicaments…cousins that are so willing to help especially in times of dire need… friends who sends an sms out of the blue to remind that your birthday is near (even if it is still 3 months away)…those who check on you because they really care…the persons who scold you even if you rebel against them…children that makes one laugh just by being children…people you are not so close with but offers one their v-cut or eaji even if its the only lunch they have…a free hash brown from a friend who knows of your poverty…those who greets one a good morning…a positive comment from a caller…an unexpected word of encouragement and advise…a smile from a crush, even if its not really meant for you…a fave son playing on the radio…sleeping to the sound of a relaxing bossa nova cd…finding by chance a pack of magic flakes when one is so hungry and has nothing but 10 pesos at hand…meeting a former supervisor that has helped me to be a better person and get to chat and laugh with him bout old times…being able to catch juicy gossips and watch tv shows after a long time of estrangement from the media…talking on the phone with nans and share a heartful laughter with her…drinking one’s fave tetra pak juice and eating lanzones…horsing around the unit like lil kids with utols…to be early in going to work at the first day of the week…and getting the chance to write this entry because of few calls…
i feel so blessed! the little things in life..those are the ones that really matters..and happiness is indeed a choice.
