happiness!

after 21 years on earth, i finally discovered a really plain truth to a question not just I but thousands of others have been asking ourselves for years - what is happiness? wikipedia defines it as "a state of mind or feeling characterised by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy." my definition is not even half as sophisticated as it doesnt involve theories like self-actualisation and so on. to me, happiness is simple. it arises from small little things which happen everyday. this week, i’ve been showered with love and overwhelmed by happiness, thanks to all the wonderful people around me. i’ve learnt that happiness is:

·         lazing in 103 dang van ngu street

·         roaming around hanoi with banana

·         going on random adventures/ shopping spree/ food hunts with mush

·         having meals/ gossip sessions with supercats in hall 2

·         skyping with banana and getting virtual kisses from her

·         randomly meeting gay trio for breakfast/ lunch/ tea/ dinner/ supper

·         swimming with lifeguards

·         going to school and screaming like mad after seeing my eye-candies

·         acting bimbotic with hall 10 friends

·         discussing work and life with rms

yes, my happiness revolves around people. so maybe i am really a people person after all.being a people person, however, has its pros, cons and also procons, one of which is that i think i have too many friends! a very evident data to support this claim is that i was struggling last week trying to arrange my timetable somehow so that i could meet all my friends for meals but still failed miserably to do so. 

i often question myself a thousand times over before deciding to promote someone from an acquaintance/ colleague to a friend. however, i usually get tired after thinking for a while because i am clearly not a logical person, so i'd just simply go with my feelings and promote the person. however, promoting someone indirectly signals demoting someone else, as i cant possibly spend time with all my friends since i only have 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. no, although i do number and then denumber my eye candies, i dont friend and then defriend anyone! even though i may not get to see you often, i still love all of you okay friends? (:

i am thankful for my happiness! (:
