happiness?

where is the source of happiness? where can we obtain true happiness? is there some place where we can buy happiness for 3o pesos? do we obtain it from our loved ones? does doing something great make us happy? is happiness permanent? is happiness really good for us? why are we always searching for happiness? why is happiness such a complex concept? does love make us happy? do friends make us happy? of course they do.

i surprised myself today as i realized that i have been wanting to work on this special day of mine. i mean, working on that video, which we are not yet sure if it is really required from us. great. just what i need. more work. i love working. working sedates me. but i get tired too. everyone does. so we sleep. but does sleep makes us happy? i know one person who's happy because of sleeping... (di ba, Boi, Lucky? hehe.)

thank you for making my day special: ceres, shie, inay gayle, ails, fra, mina, yeye and lovely (my texters). special thanks to EC (cake!!!), especially gary (who made everyone we meet greet me), and janine (for being there). thanks to mike and haidee for being such good teammates in our bid for the ChErebral prize. Fifth place is not bad. Plus, we have a sweeter prize. :D thanks to sharra, mils and my 135 groupmates, may, mau and joey (although they didn't know). thank you mama. thank you kuya for the GREAT gift (however lame it would seem, it's really a great gift). another thank you to ceres, pat and janine for the gifts. thank you to all the people who remembered, or just knew but greeted me.

happiness? it's so commercialized, we can buy it. so let's just, altogether, shove it up our ___.

a neutral birthday to me.
