merry christmas! :)

it's Christmas day! and i hope i am not too late to write about what i have to write about this Christmas.

and since like what i said the other day Christmas is all about Giving.. giving of love and sharing of happiness.. :)

certainly happiness since it is the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ..

this lunch we ate at my aunt's house.. and she had a Christmas party for the households.. for the maids, for the helpers in the house, for her bodyguards, and for the peole that helped them in their everyday work..

they really enjoyed the gifts given to them and the food we ate were also good..

i saw the less fortunate people being happy this Christmas.. and i'm glad i shared that happiness with them.. though i may not really have a close relationship with them at least they experienced something they couldn't experience during Christmas and they ate good food which they couldn't afford this season..

and now since we are talking about happiness my mom shared with me an email that was sent by her friend ans she thought that she should also share it with me.. it is really nice and it was presented on power point with winnie the pooh and friends as background which made it more cute.. :)

it said:

Ways to be happy

1. try some new interests, but don't force yourself.

2. be healthy. a healthy body brings happy feelings.

3. have enough rests if you need it. don't over exert your body.

4. moderate sports make you relaxed.

5. love those around you and bring happiness to them
**most of the time we tend to see a person's bad side so we turn out not liking them even though they have not done anything wrong. we outlook their good qualities by focusing on the bad ones. all of us has our own good side and bad. but from our bad side we learn from our mistakes. so try focusing on a person's good side instead of focusing on their weaknesses. it will make you happier and life will be a whole lot easier for them too! :)

6. greet people with a nice smile and the same will return
** this is for people who are snobbish. yung mga mataray and very unapproachable. try smiling at your classmates when you see them or your teachers when you meet them in the hallway. it will give you a very nice feeling and you also shared happiness to others. it won't hurt anyway.

7. forget those things that makes you unhappy and forgive those people who bring you unhappiness
** one of the reasons why people don't tend to be happy is because they refuse to let go of the things that makes them sad. when you hold a grudge against a person or an enemy, it will surely give you a burden. though it's easy to firgive than to forget, just look of it this way, if you don't try to let go of that grudge you have for someone, you will suffer more than that person. and you don't want that right? so, straighten up loose ends now!

8. care for your family , your friends, your job and everything around you with your heart.
** most people do things just for the sake of doing things. i believe that to be successfull in a given job or task, you have to do it with all your heart.

9. don't be so fastidious about your life. be always full of gratitude.

10. enjoy your life and don't waste time on unnecessary worries

11. be satisfied with the happiness you have and be able to endure hardships as well. never forget to forgive.

12. devote yourself to your career but never become it's slave

13. create something for yourself which is easily realised.

14. spend one day at a time in different ways

15. spend a little bit of time everyday reflecting on yourself

16. look back on those things that made you happy

17. always think positively!

18. refresh yourself by creating some interesting moments

19. seize instant inspirations and make the best use of it

20. schedule your job appropriately so that you can free your time and energy

21. gather some anecdotes and jokes and share them with your friends

22. arrange a holiday which you can spend time with people you like

23. watch a comedy

24. spend time with your good friends

25. give a pleasant surprise to people you love.

and that's it! i hope you are all happy this season! and i hope you will keep what i shared also for the next year! happy holidays!
