BITS OF HAPPINESS

I've always loved Thursdays because it's a day away from Friday, the last day of the work week. But today is something else. Its barely noon and I already have so many things to be ecstatic about. There are already a lot of things I am sooo thankful for. What a great week it has truly been. In fact, 2005 is turning out to be soo good that I think God is finally making up for all the difficulties and conundrums I went through last year. I can only hope that it stays this wonderful till the year ends...no...make that, till forever. Haha!

* Talking to him was the first thing I did when I woke up. I am smitten!

* Hearing and finding the song that best describes how I've been feeling lately. Sigh.

* Being able to take time out to smell the flowers. Literally. The 2 vases of gorgeous flowers I recieved this week are still so much alive and everyday, before leaving the house and as soon as I get home, I take time out to smell and touch them.

* I was in a tricycle on my way out of the village this morning when the driver turns to me and says, "Bunny? Ikaw na ba yan?". Surprised, I look at him, smile and say, "Mang Ramon! Kumusta na po kayo?" Suddenly, nostalgia swept over me. I spent my gradeschool years in Assumption Antipolo, and yes, believe it or not, I lived all the way in Paranaque. Everyday, my school bus would drop me and a handful of other girls in a busmate's house inside the village and 3 of us would get picked up by Mang Ramon and his tricycle, and he would bring us home. I never really found out why our school bus couldn't just bring us to our respective homes.

"Grabe, dalagang dalaga ka na! Parang kelan lang, liit liit mo pa! Alam mo, may asawa na yung ibang mga kasabay mo nun!", he says.

"Ay talaga po? Pasensya na po hindi ko kayo namukhaan, parang tumaba po kayo eh!"

He laughs. I handed him my money as I was about to get off but he just put his hand on my arm and said, "Bunny, wag na. Ikaw naman yan eh!". I insisted that he accept my payment but he refused to do so. So there, I got to see an old friend and got a free ride going out of the village! Happiness!

* I wasn't late for work!

* Getting a go signal from my Mom to work on my visa so my sister, Marby, and I can go there. And did I tell you she was sooo pleased to know we wanted to go? So excited.

* Told Mom about xxxxx and she is very, very happy for me. Newsflash: I'm so happy for me too! Hahaha!

* My uncle telling me that my mom's cool about Marby and I staying with him in San Francisco instead of with her in Chicago. Yaaaayyy!!!

* The very cute skirt I am wearing today. Hahaha! Shallow, noh?

* And oh, it's PAYDAY!!! At least for us! hahaha!

Will add more today if anything else comes up. I'm on a natural high!

Hope everyone's day is just as good! Happy Thursday!!!!
