Happy Poo-Poo

the Happy Poo-Poo

Isn't this inspiring?  There's a smile on this remote lavatory!  When I first saw this, I thought to myself, what could be it's presence there for?  Hmmm...Maybe to signify the feeling of "success" after purging? ☺ Anyway,  every time I pass this way, I'm reminded of how important it is to smile.  You see,  I'm not the smiling type of a person.  I'm so reserved that even giving a smile is sometimes a struggle.  That's funny but it's true.  And it's funnier that a toilet has to be a prompt for a smile.  Life really has a strange way of giving us a lesson, whenever, wherever. ☺

Morning Rain...Rainy Morning

This is the 7 a.m. view today from my window.  It was raining but it it didn't seem gloomy at all (to me).  It ironically  felt so peaceful and serene.  It slowed me down from the usual hurry-up-morning mode getting ready for work. 

There's a beauty up above...♪

10:00 a.m. Heavy rainfall. Cold air. Soaking wet jeans.  Umbrella moment.

12:30 p.m.  Gargling after brushing.  Looking up, this view surprised me. How amazing this world can be!

Sunset

sunset view from workplace

This is magical. ♥

Today was rather a gloomy day.  There was no sunshine the whole day.  The clouds were dark and heavy.  At one time, there were drizzles. Later, it poured.  Then drizzled again. The ground was soaking wet.  

Then it was time to go home.  And what a surprise! Amidst the drizzles was a spectacle to my eyes: this magical view of the sunset sky.

Indeed, the world never runs out of beautiful things, even on the ugliest of days. ☺

Even if you don't win, you'll still gain.

Nacho counting the pay they got from their losses in boxing

Life is really sweet.  Whether we lose or win, it offers a reward.  Just look at Nacho.  He joins any boxing match of his town, not to win, but to gain.  He realizes that by joining any match, he gets to receive a pay even if he loses.  Together with his buddy, they seek for boxing matches because money awaits them there.

Seeing things in this perspective adds up courage to fight. :-)

Introduction: Pain

What prompts me to create this blog? It's pain.

As I see it, almost everyday, I feel different sorts of pain.  I am very vulnerable to pain.  Even now as I am writing, I am feeling it deeply.  Although I try as much as I can to fight it back, it never fails to come back, and teases me, reminding me that it will be here to stay.  It appears in different forms.  Today, it is in the words of a friend; yesterday, the actions of people around me; at other times, the happiness of others - yes, that feeling of envy in seeing others feeling what I most want to feel: happiness.

Yes, I wanna be happy.  Everybody wants that.  But you see, I have this problem.  I find more pain than happiness.  I see more pain.  I feel more pain.  I recognize more pain.  I pay more attention to pain.  And that is so wrong.

It's a fact that everybody has their own share of bliss and misery.  But I wonder how others manage to be so much less miserable than many others.  And because of this question in my head, I was prompted to create this blog.

I have long realized that I have neglected my chances of looking at the possible sources of delight.  And by looking, have the chance to see their beauty, beauty that can possibly rule over the pain that I always entertain.

So here, to fight back, to win over pain, I will post all things that speak of the sweetness of life.  And may this brings serenity to my soul...
