A late birthday present from my friend’s sister. Along with this, she also gave me a necklace with a small bottle of green “kisses” as its pendant. A big Awwww for me!
While walking earlier to play badminton, a thought occurred to me and that was I really don’t need a lot of things to be happy. It was an odd moment for me to be driving into realizations, I know. I just thought that I could buy whatever I want, eat wherever or shop for anything, that’s easy but it’s also temporary. All I really, really want is the smile on my loved ones’ faces whenever I buy something for them or the laughter that we share when we dine out, the unending and amusing stories that I hear about their lives, and the tight hugs I get for just co-existing with them. Those are the moments that could give me incomparable bliss. And that idea that I am appreciated, loved and indispensable is very self-gratifying.

Last Saturday, my family were watching the One on One special with Jun Lozada (the guy’s been tagged a hero nowadays, don’t ask me why, I’m not so updated) and I was getting sleepy on the sofa. I was about to doze off but Benjamin Abalos’ statement made me stay awake and laugh. I just can’t believe the guy. Imagine, he was on the hot seat and he had the nerve to advertise his burger recipe that’s served in his daughter’s resto. He described it as “a burger worth dying for”. Grabe, it was kind of hilarious because he kept on bringing it up. Oh well, that’s a chance he had to grab.
Nakita ko to pinost ng friend ko sa Bulletin Board ng Friendster…

So, I heard this line from the movie and it really struck me. Most of the time, I think that I just live for myself and no one else. I’m not saying that I should live my life for other people, it’s just that, it’s an amazing thought that there is someone who actually learns from things that I say and do. Er, just watch the movie and savor the numbers.
And yes, I made my own bucket list 
The things I want to do be fore I hit the bucket
1. Write a book
2. Be a volunteer for an animal rights cause
3. Star in a theater play
