It's been a while since I've written something and until now, I can't seem to get a clear head. I'm not sure if it's because nothing comes to mind that's worth writing about or there's lots of things to write about yet I can't think of what I'm going to say. Hmm... this is very tragic. O well, I guess this might jumpstart my brain cells. Here goes..

Instructions: Name ten of life's simple pleasures that you like the most, then pick ten people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used.

1) arriving at work before 8:30am - I confess. I seem to have a different time zone compared to my other officemates. Our work starts at 8:30am yet I keep on arriving at 8:45 or 9am --sometimes even way past that. I keep pushing myself to get up early, move fast and leave home as soon as I can but to my dismay, I still end up being late. The long line of passengers waiting for the next shuttle service going to ayala, doesn't seem to change no matter how early I am. There may have been times when the line was short BUT it takes ten years for the fx to arrive. And so, it really makes my day everytime I clock on time. Added bonus pa nga is I get to go home early and I get to see Ryan kapag hinatid nya ako.

2) watching C.S.I - I can't explain it. It's a habit or craving I just can't shake off. It's like part of me.. my everyday life. Freaky as it may seem, but I watch 1 complete season of this series, 8 dvd's in all, in just 2 days. It doesn't matter whether it's Las Vegas, Miami or New York. As long as there's the capital letters "C", "S" and "I", I'll keep popping the dvd's in the player like clockwork until I reach the final dvd or until it's time to sleep.

3) having coffee, merienda or lunch at the pantry - Nothing beats a good laugh with the research department. The pantry may be too small for us to all huddle in, but we still manage to. Kahit patagilid na kaming kumain or meron ng nasa may sink, nasa may water dispenser at nasa may microwave, it's still great to eat together. Anything goes kapag sama-sama kami. Kahit anong topic pinag-uusapan. Kahit nandun ka, pag uusapan ka pa rin *hehe* Although the best part of it is kapag nandun ka, you won't feel that you're among officemates.. you will feel you're among friends --friends who will listen to you, laugh with you and share their meals with you.. kaya parang fiesta! *wahe*

4) being home alone - Yes I am a loner. *hehe* I dunno.. I guess I just want some peace and quiet even for just a day. It's good to sit back and relax.. do nothing, forget about work, escape from my problems for a while. It makes me enjoy life more and think of those simple pleasures I tend to overlook for the lack of time or too much worrying about the complexities of living. For others, this a rare opportunity. As for me, it's a blessing I'm thankful for.

5) having ur pets welcome you when you reach home - It's quite an obstacle because they're all around you pouncing here and there. You're like a celebrity being swarmed by her die-hard fans. No matter how long you have been gone, the way they treat you never changes.. para pa rin kayong hindi nagkita ng sampung taon samantalang lumabas ka lang naman para bumili sa kanto *hehe* Anyway, they're just so sweet. Nakakawala ng pagod. I don't think you'll find someone who's that consistent when it comes to adoring you. No wonder single people choose to have pets .^____,^.

6) eating pizza - I just love it. It's my favorite food of all time. Kahit anong brand pa yan --yellow cab, domino's, shakey's, pizza hut, pizza smile, lot's a pizza, french baker, greenwich or yung pizza sa st. scho nung nag-aaral pa ako, nanamnamin ko talaga sya 'til the last bite. For me, lahat ng pizza masarap. And that's a fact *wag nga lang yung mga weird flavors ha* :oP

7) making someone smile - Yup! I think everyone will agree.. It really feels good when you brighten someone's day may it be through a short text message, a note, a call or a simple gesture that warms the heart. For me, nothing compares to the smile I get for helping someone, making them feel better or happier. It's.. uhhh.. PRICELESS.

8) learning new things - For me, this is part of life. It may vary from learning to cook a new dish, do a new task at work or use a new software and so on. But whatever that may be, it still makes us wiser and grow more as a person. It makes me happy, proud and accomplished when I discover something new. And it's even better when I'm able to share what I know.

9) dancing - They say I have the knack for doing this. Well, maybe I do. Though I'm not sure where I got it from. My mom and dad definitely don't dance *hehe* But it's true.. I do love dancing. I miss those times when my friends and I used to peform during fiestas or join contests. Honestly, it's one of my frustrations.. If I would live another life, it would be as a professional dancer. Siguro nung past life ko dancer ako *wahehe*

10) kulitan with Ryan - If you know me well enough, there's nothing more to say. But if you don't... then fine. :oP This guy is the love of my life. Spending a moment with him is pure bliss. Yes, we do argue sometimes pero eventhough I'm mad at him, deep inside I'm still happy because I'm with him. Nothing compares to sitting with him, walking with him, holding hands with him and making kulitan with him. You know why? 'Coz he doesn't just make me laugh.. he makes my heart smile.

I can't find 10 people so I'm tagging only 5.
And they are: JR, Cha, Bob, Ruben and Roan.
