014: happiness and the long way back home via bus

On my way home tonight I noticed a small girl sitting on the other side of the bus smiling all throughout our long trip.
She had this smile mmm maybe like that of a child watching a funny cartoon on the tv - wide eyes, careless smile and all. Perhaps she really was just enjoying that bus trip along edsa on a late rainy night, but she had such an intoxicating smile I can't help but smile myself as I left the bus.

I wish I could keep all my happy memories in a bottle so that I can open it up when I need them the most.

Maybe finding happiness in the tiniest detail of everyday life really does make a difference.

Sometimes there are things, moments you find peculiarly special to you, although no matter how you try to describe it to other people they just won't get it.

Maybe it's the song that played randomly as the cold typhoon rain brushed your face, or that shared grocery basket, or maybe that unexpected pat on the back before you go home - the reason behind doesnt really matter, but the fact that at that precise moment you can't help but smile - you really should write that down.

Happy fleeting moments - where do they go when they're forgotten?

Maybe I really should learn to smile more - yellow teeth, wrinkled eyes, and all.

In ooooother news I still have to stay up late because I have to finish something I promised for a friend. It's a good thing the workload tomorrow is not that heavy though I still have to be there at the office by 10am. Ok its a doodle for someone special who's gone away and I sincerely hope I honor her memory.

I need some good music to keep me up until around 4am. hmmmmmm Dave Matthews I choose you!
