Now that I think about it, there are so many things that make me happy!

- Seeing other people smiling, especially children
- Getting a compliment on my photography
- Doing something spontaneous, like driving around at 9pm to see houses lit up in Christmas lights!
- Whenever my boyfriend kisses me goodbye before work and hello after work
- Hearing other people talk about their passions
- Hearing laughter
- Dancing wildly to great music!
- Finding a really great deal while shopping
- When any of my recipes turns out really well and people love it!
- Playing board games
- Running around like a buffoon with my dog

And more!

working out cheers me up esp. if i’m angry.
seriously! the medical reason for it apparently is that after you work out, you gain hormones that make you happy. ♥♥♥

otherwise, probably watching my favourite doramas or my fave comedian russell peters on youtube or veoh.

let us know if you find that cher♥ dress/top!! you’ve got me COMPLETELY obsessed with cher. i’m probably the only person on EARTH without a cher bag =((

there isn’t one left ANYWHER!! !(-_-╬)

I’m a little late, but this song always makes me happy:

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don’t feel so bad…
