Happiness

When I'm feeling down
or spiraling out,
I remember the things I've forgotten about.

So I came up with a list
to remind myself why I exist,
why I should resist,
and why I must persist.

It's nothing new,
just a paragraph or two,
to ground me back to reality
when everything is hazy.

What makes me happy
is not the excess of money.
But let's be honest,
without it
the list would be half-empty.

A good book
A cup of hot coffee
A long walk
A lighthearted movie

A smooth run
A new song from your favorite artist
The view of the sun
as it trails along the Earth's axis

Deep conversations
Shallow jokes
A heavy downpour on a summer's day

Long drives
with your person
to nowhere or somewhere far away

A happy memory to reminisce
A lovely poem such as this

Your cat curling around your feet
Your dog enjoying a piece of treat

Your mother's smile
makes everything worthwhile.
Your lover's touch
makes life easier enough.

Fresh sheets
Dry socks
Warm baths

The sound of the rain
The smell of the sea
The taste of the sun

When life begins to feel like a threat,
read this one aloud.
Remember not to forget.

Happiness is the journey and the destination altogether.
Life is a mystery, that's for sure.
Keep on wondering, go wander!

BLOCKED from your BPI Express Account? Here is the solution

This happened when I was in Puerto Princesa (not that you need to know about that but it is important that you know where I was at that time). We were on a vacation with 4 of my college friends. While chilling in our room I logged in on my BPI Express Online account to check if a particular transaction happened (note that this was payday so you get the idea right?). I logged in using my old Sony Ericsson phone which was a hand-me-down from my sister. Yeah, it’s old. I filled in my username and password (which was incorrect). The page loaded my request. But because of – I don’t know – my phone or the internet connection I decided to click the login button more than once just to make sure I did what I was supposed to do. Unfortunately, the BPI online app received the transaction but my phone (or the internet) was so slow to even notify me with my failed login attempt. I remember clicking the login button one-to-many times out of annoyance. I need to chec

Help! (02)795-2500 is calling me

  So, this number called you recently?  And because you're an introvert (like me) who doesn't want to answer unexpected calls the call would end up unanswered? Don't worry. It's just BPI offering a loan or something. I've answered one of their calls before and rejected the offer kindly. It was months ago so I have forgotten the number. And just recently the number appeared on my phone, calling. I left it ringing until it became a missed call. I went on the internet to seek the answer. I typed the number on the search bar and boom!  I recalled and realized BPI was calling yet again to offer loans.  You may or may not answer the call. If you do, you can decide for yourself to apply for a loan, or not. Hope this helped you today!
