Reminiscing

Hello world!
I'm finally entering the world of blogging after much prodding from my friends. heehee
Here goes....
Earlier this afternoon I sat down by the terrace of our house and started thinking about my grandpa. In my mind I replayed scenes of the happy times with him in the terrace. I vividly remembered him lovingly watering his precious bonsai plants which surrounded the terrace. He would always proudly describe and show them off to his friends whenever they came to our house. Born with a green thumb, grandpa would expertly sow plant seeds in our small makeshift garden and spend the afternoon away gardening. How quick time flies. It seems as if it was just yesterday I was this bony seven year old kid sitting on his lap and listening intently to his childhood stories. Those warm memories triggered the emo in me and made me realized how much I missed him.

I recently read something in a random blog that caught my attention. It said,"Never give up on the things that make you smile." I posted this on ym and a friend immediately asked me"ano nga ba nagpapa-smile sayo?" Caught unguarded, I replied "madami eh. pero mababaw." His question sent me to reflect on things that made me smile. duh. Truly, most of them are kinda trivial and simple. I guess that's what makes me a cheery person. Like chocolates, for example, seeing them stocked up on the fridge in all their chocolatey glory makes me smile. haha!
