Simple Pleasures.

True happiness does not depend on what life brings your way, it is what you bring to life. The line that I will forever have off pat. I have actually seen this line on my Tita’s notebook of songs and quotations.

I was raised very well by my parents. I have grown with so many unfussy things given to me. And just like everybody, I have my own set list of my simple joys. The little things that make me go outlandish. The little things that can put a huge smile in my heart in a snap. The little things that I must say: My Simple Pleasures in Life.

1.    FOODSTUFF.

Back when I was so little, Papa used to hand me pasalubongs. And Hello Panda was (and still is) my favourite. Love it to death!

Ice scramble.

Have you ever tried buying for some sort of street stuff like skrambol  being sold by some kuya’s/manong’s riding on their own tricycle selling some street food including ice scramble ofcourse. Ooh. How I love it! So yeah. I was actually happy to have heard that there are chains of ice scramble being sold at the mall. Yeee! Love it.

Pizza. I am so inlove with Pizza. Here’s a Trivia that only Pat knows why I loved Pizza. Remember Nick Carter of Backstreetboys? Well. Okay, since I super love Nick and all the stuff that he loves which includes pizza. There, I learnt to love pizza. Silly, right? 

Jollibee’s N2. Spag + Yum =LABEET! ( I used to be Jollibee’s kiddie member back when I was.. uh..uhmm…4-5-6-7?) and Mcdonald’s Mcflurry. MY FAVORITE!

2.    GLEE.

I am a GLEEK! All right, Glee Marathon? I can lie all day on the sofa just watching Glee. I am not a super avid fan. But I must admit, I am really inlove with Glee. Watching Glee makes me feel like I am still on my teenage life, you know. Glee is SUPERB!

One of my fave Glee Eps. Tina's version of True Colors. :D

3.    CATCHING UPS

College has been a quandary or let’s say a hassle getter. I could hardly see my friends for some sort of reasons that they’re up on something or the other way around. But the best part is when you get to see your same old friends and you do a lot of catching ups like you just own the world. Even if you’ve been miles apart, the same old good and true friends will always be there.

 ABNOYS!

SCG! 

 Noy and Lo

 with Hollisters.

with TBs.

4.    The HAREBRAINED ME.

I actually love making fun of myself and I enjoy it, heaps. Not to the extent that I wear makeup, okay? I don’t exactly know why I love doing those silly acts which I and my friends can laugh our asses out. People who do not know me wouldn’t really think of me as that, maybe because of some impressions they put on me. Whatever, but I really don’t mind those impressions at all. It’s my simple joy, just being my whole silly wacky self.

5.    SURPRISES

Who wouldn’t love surprises?

6.    THE SIMS 3.

Sims3 Baby! I have been dreaming of building and designing a home. You know, seeing my kids being nurtured well. And TS3 is the perfect place to be. I do enjoy it. I can stand 24hrs straight playing Sims. When I get bored or just too lazy to function, I do the Sim-ming stuff. It keeps me busy and makes me forget the external stressors.

7.    CHUCKS!

I don’t wanna collect a hundred pair of chucks but I hope to be having at least 15 pairs. I got 4 now. Chuck Taylor + Jeans + Tshirt = that’s me.

8.    Hey, Barbie!

Hello, all my life I have wanted Barbie dolls. I grew up with the boys’ stuffs around and honestly, I’ve never really had a beautiful Barbie. I would rather prefer cars to collect. But hey, I am girl. Although I grew up with guys’ stuffs around I am a thwarted Barbie doll collector. So whenever I drop by to the mall. I’ll have a long time staring at those picturesque barbies. And that really makes me happy, even by just staring.  ☺

9.    IN HIS STEPS.

This little thing is my source of relaxation. It’s the time when I talk to God and discuss so many stuffs with him. This is my best relief.

10.  My nephews.

Seeing them becoming cuter, sweeter and more knowledgeable just makes me a proud Tita.

11.  Mama’s Post.

Social networking has been a phenomenon. And yeah, Mama has been quite addicted to Facebook applications. And it is super fun seeing her indulging into stuff like facebook.

12.  Letters you’ll always remember.

I had these letters 4 years ago, some were 6 years ago. Letters written for our retreat by my friends. Letters that whenever I get to read, I’d smile and tell myself: nothing beats being a high school.

13.  BLOGGING.

I am frustrated writer. I am not that dweeb or stuff. But I have this little thing in writing. So yeah. That is the reason why I have this littlekiddomeann.blogspot.com =)

14.  GrandPa’s rocking!

My Lolo.. He’s been sick with this Prostate Cyst and Ive been serving as his little nurse. And everytime I see him smile, exercising, going to work, having a good BP reading makes me feel good. It’s a medicine in my heart. Seeing him still rocking our world.

15.  Papa’s love.

Ever since mama has gone to Canada, Papa’s has been EVERYTHING. A day isn’t complete without him. He knows what I want now. It just surprises me when he does stuff that I will never expect him doing (don’t need to mention). He is really a sweet Papa.

There is more. More and more. As you can see, most joys were from my childhood years. I don’t know. Being a kid just lives forever in me. I don’t easily forget the things that make me happy. Even these little things written here. That’s how I am when I was a child, never forgetting the little happy things. My simple pleasures.
