My little angels

Last saturday I went to my grandma's house for lunch. It was unfortunate that my cousins couldn't come since they were busy with exams and so on. Despite the fact it was quite there, I was really happy to see my grandma and my uncle again. I actually see grandma once every two week I guess. Sometimes even more.

I had nothing to do that day, so I brought my Korean books to try and memorise few new words and such. I felt lazy and very drowsy after eating lunch, so I ended up not studying. Meanwhile, my little cousins were there. They were so noisy trying to catch a small butterfly despite the fact that they are afraid of it haha.

To be honest most people don't like children's noise, but surprisingly to me it was fun. My house is always quiet and calm. I would hardly hear anything other than arguments and fights between my siblings. It was a nice feeling to hear noises this time.

As time passed that day, my little cousins gathered around me and kept wanting to play. I must thank god that one of them had iPad haha. While my cousin was playing with his iPad, they all gathered around me to look at how the game is being played.

The fact that the game is about torturing and killing an animal (I'm not sure what it was), it was inappropriate game to be played by children (even adults in my opinion). It was kind of sad to see them laughing on how to kill it.

One of my cousins kept hitting my thigh that day haha! I can still remember how she was pretending to play drums on my thigh. As she kept playing, her hands became tougher on my skin. She kept on hitting harder and harder to laugh at me screaming at her. I didn't really mind, but I think my thigh went red that day haha!

After spending a lot of time with my cousins, I thought about how I didn't talk to my grandma nor listened to what she has to say. I tried to escape from my cousins, but wow such power and energy that stopped me from leaving my chair. As I sought help from my little guardian, I managed to escape until it turned into "catch me if you can" game.

The fact that I ran that day just to escape from them made me realize how happy I was to be around them. I've been in this boring vacation every since December, so it really hit me. When I was running, I realized that I was laughing and crying out of joy. At that very moment I thought to myself "Wow, It's been actually a really long time since I laughed this hard".

This made me think to myself "Why haven't I been laughing like this the past few months?". My little angels made me realize this about myself. It is sad that I didn't know how happy I can be around them. Hopefully in my next visit to grandma's house, I'd play more with them.

Love you my little angels <3

What is happiness?

Happiness is the feeling of joy to most of us. It is that strong feeling of satisfaction and enjoyment. It is when we feel better about ourselves and our lives. Feeling happy when someone we love and care about is around. Happiness has so many meanings that cannot be found in books nor dictionaries. With philosophers and psychologists.

The meaning of happiness is not all that complicated. It is a feeling we experience, and can also be shared with others around us. Joy has no expiry date nor an end. It can be lower down, but it can never disappear. It would always be there, in that little corner waiting for you to find it.

As many people have said before, love has different shapes and colors, so is happiness. It can develop by the smallest silliest thing you could ever think of, and the biggest surprising thing you could think of.

The little things that makes us happy are the greatest shape of happiness (in my opinion). I feel that if the least thing that can make me happy, then I don't have to worry about what is bigger than that.

For example, my friends and family find it hard to bring me the best gift for my birthday. I think they are thinking too much that they miss out the point behind this gift. For me, as long as it comes from their hearts, nothing really matters to me. Whether it was a simple necklace or a scarf.

I wouldn't be as much as happy if I got a new smartphone or a ridiculously expensive piece of jewellery. Though I wouldn't mind a ticket to travel somewhere (hahaha! Oh my).

All that I'm saying in this blog is that happiness isn't hard to feel. All of us experience and get through crazy and hard times in our lives, but that's okay. 'Cause things will always get better no matter how much time passes.

Let me share with you my secret key to happiness. The one thing I do to flip my mood 180 degrees when I'm super depressed. All that I do is smile really really really hard, and believe that I can be happy this instant. Guess what? It works with me every single time.

Always keep in mind that life is short, and that there is nothing worth to be sad about. At least that's what I'm trying to do.

I hope you all feel happy everyday wherever you are and keep on smiling!
