Happiness

I am not saying this because I had a great day. I’m not saying this because I am blessed.

I am not saying this because I have much, I have enough for myself and my family.

I am not saying this because I’m still alive and God gave me another chance to live again.

I want to say that even though I do bad things, He is still there, not giving up to win me completely. God is that good because of his grace, I am saved. I want to seek His face, kiss His feet, and wrap myself in his arms. I want Him to tower me, shower me with His words. Be my God, King, and Refuge.

At the end of the day I always think of things like: “Another day has passed, did I make someone smile?” “How much goodness I shared this day?” “Do people I value still see me as someone worth to be with” and whatnots. I always contemplate the things that I have done; was it good? was it bad? Am I deserving to live my life? Because I personally think there are other people that are more deserving to be in my place right now. But then again, when I look at the brighter side, I must understand that this is what God gave me and He gave me this because I deserve this. Again, God is this good that even though you don’t deserve what you have right now, He will still give it to you no matter what, no matter how much.

I just came up with an another learning. A friend of mine just opened up to me about her problems and such things that made me bothered (not that much) and enlightened. I realized that we are the only ones who make our own life miserable. Yeah, not totally, but a part of it.

Imagine that we are here in the world and every odds go in our way and we can’t do anything about it. Man’s natural response to problems or challenges is sadness (they were like: “Of all people? God chose me?”) and then it’s on our own will if we are to continue being unhappy for whatever happens or just move on and find solutions or just accept that not everything will go in the way we wanted to. We are born to face tragedies. I am currently facing one now. I just thought that I will not allow myself to be totally drown in this moment. I am not strong. I am lightweight. But with the help of God, I know that everything will be fine. He has his perfect timing. Let us just be happy.

This 2015, I will try my best to finish any 20 books #Goodreads. The last book that I have read this only December 2014 is David Levithan’s Everyday and I am looking forward to the book two entitled Another Day (if I’m not mistaken). This January, I will start my book marathon by reading Lacey Sturm’s The Reason. A friend of mine from facebook messaged me the pdf version (sorry for pirating) of the book since it is not yet available in my country and if it is I would definitely buy one. I also want to read C.L. Lewis’ books and books that fall under Christian category.

Lacey Sturm is one of my influences in music. She had a band called Flyleaf but sadly, she left for her family (I didn’t know the real reason behind this). I’m so excited to read her book and to grasp lessons about life and God.

I won’t really consider myself as a bookworm but I would like to coin myself as a ‘Bookish Person’. I am currently reading now the ‘It’s Kind of a Funny Story‘ by Ned Vizzini because I would like to watch the movie, so I’ll read the book first.

Genres that I am reading/would like to read are:

  • Psychological (probably, I’m a Psychology major)
  • Fictions (Only if it’s Adventure and Fantasy)
  • Love/Romance (I SET MY LIMITATIONS)
  • Non Fictions
  • I DON’T READ VAMPIRES
  • I DON’T READ Nicholas Sparks (I only watch those)
  • Journals
  • Religious (Christianity)
  • Art

These are just some. I really like Psychological books! And journals of diff persons. I am not bookish, I find reading books entertaining and at the same time, mind blowing. There are lots I have read. Lazy to mention. I’m not really a fan of John Green—but if there’s a book signing here in the Philippines, I’ll go. ♥

Thank God for amazing people who wrote books. Can’t believe I forgot to put my BIble.

This is probably mee soo…

Just had my “Okay? Okay.” t-shirt and I’m so happy. I love Augustus Waters so. I have read the book but I haven’t watched the movie yet because I don’t know when is the showing on the Philippines. I wanna watch it. But I’d be biased with the books (since books are always better) if I am gonna judge between the two. “Maybe ‘okay’ will be our ‘always’.”
