"30DWC- Things that make me Happy"

Welcome to day 2 of a writing challenge in which I got the idea from Ellehcim.

Before we start let me ask you, ARE you HAPPY? If yes then what makes you happy?

As for me I believe happiness is a CHOICE. Even simple things can make us happy only if we choose to. If we learned how to appreciate the blessings rather than complaining about what we don't have. Oftentimes we neglect what we have simply because it is not what we wanted to have. Without realizing what we currently had was dreamed by others. Well maybe that's life! hehe.

For today while I was writing the title of this article I'd been asking myself what makes me happy. ( Pause and think for minutes). Can I skip this day and proceed to Day 3 instead? I've been staring at my laptop screen for a while yet nothing came into my mind. Did I become unappreciative? Or it is just that I am not in the mood.

I know when this pandemic happened many lost their jobs. Yet I on the other hand was stopped only for two months. Even though our working days were reduced from six days to five days, I can still say that my salary is still enough for me to live. Few months ago the company even gave me a salary increase yet I am not satisfied. I feel that it is still not enough because of the sudden workloads added to me. Which others were far from my degree. Many of my workmates were unable to return to work as only a few were lucky enough. I belong to those lucky individuals. Maybe because I am in the Finance department. Aside from that I am only the one in Finance who is knowledgeable in Branch operations. That's the edge. I am still employed and got that source of income so YES, this should be a reason for me to be happy!

Not only that, yesterday I was notified by our HR- Benefits that our ECC (Employees' Compensation Commission ) cash assistance when I got positive in Covid has been credited. It is not that big, just an equivalent of my 3days salary but somehow it helps. With that I remember how stressful it was to undergo quarantine alone, feeling unwell physically and emotionally. That time, I had no one to talk to verbally for a month. Anxiety is killing me! BUT see I survive and LIVE. I still wake up every morning to face another battle, another grinding! So SELF Be happy!

Oh I forgot to tell you guys, the reason why I was in a bad mood was because of my Father. He is already a senior citizen, 71 years old to be exact and my Mom was 65. I don't know what to do with these two as they are always fighting. You know like young lovers with LQ? My Dad was always jealous and kept on telling my Mom that she might have a LOVER. He would always notice the way Mom dresses. Oh Mom? She doesn't dress like seniors. Wanna see?

Hey, that's my Mom. The dress was actually mine but I am not comfortable wearing it as I find it too sexy so I gave it to my younger sister. So I was surprised when I saw my mom wearing it,,lol! As per my sister she likes it though.

Oh don't get my mom wrong, it is just she never had a chance to buy or wear what she likes. You can read the reason why in my written letter to her.

So back to our topic my Father was always suspicious BUT only if he is drunk. The problem is he is a drunkard so probably he is drunk EVERYDAY! Mother would also reprimand him because of his vices which will add to the fuel. Would you believe me if I tell you that they may be staying in one roof but they aren't talking with each other? It lasted for weeks sometimes! They are really pained in the a$$ ! Indeed it was so hard to raise our parents! HAHA.

One thing I am still thankful for and makes me happy is they are still strong and healthy. They still have the strength to fight each other, lol!

That's only a few things . There are still many to mention but above all my sweetheart makes me happy. Cheesy! NO matter how bad my day is, just seeing him smile at me with matching pick up lines sometimes was indeed enough to brighten my DAY!

30 days writing challenge, Day 1

What about you? What makes you HAPPY? Care to share?

I am not actually feeling well today as my allergy was triggered by a scented alcohol of my officemate I used earlier. It had a lavender scent and it was fragrant. It was too fragrant and my nose was unable to take it. The hard part when you have an allergic rhinitis.

Now my head was aching and I kept on sneezing so kindly pardon the errors.

I may not be able to read your articles tonight! I'll be back tomorrow!

Goodnight from PHILIPPINES!
