Happiness...

Whenever I'm down, I just pass the time with my hobbies. Often, I'll listen to my favorite music, play some games, or whatever I feel like doing. Many times that gets my mood back up.

I call one of my friends that I know will always cheer me up. Most of my best friends are not in the area, so we really depend on phone calls when we need that good talk with that person you can tell anything to.

CHOCOLATE always, always does the trick for me. but when i'm around a computer, going online also helps. usually, when i'm online, time is suspended as if everything else around me stops. i usually chat with someone, write on my blog, post on mylot, forward nice emails, upload photos, i can do almost anything i want. and somehow, i forget my problem. and for a few e-moments, i am happy. now when there's no computer around, i try to read a book that i've read before. it's like renewing an old friendship because i already know what's in it but it's retold to me again. and for a few literary moments, i am happy. going to the mall and shopping also helps. but sometimes, i end up splurging so i end up more unhappy coz i lost money that i'm supposed to save. but there's something about shopping and buying something you like but don't need that gives a girl a certain lift in spirit. it's like accomplishing or fulfilling something. oh i don't know how to put it. right now, i am actually not so happy so i'm glad i'm here online...on mylot.

Reading jokes,exchanging hilarious text messages with friends and listening to my favourite music,etc.

I usually try to listen to music first. It always calms me down. It just has such a relaxing effect to me. And if that doesnt work then i try talking to someone.

On the days when I am just in a funk, I try to do several things in order to keep my head level and just find some happiness. One of the things that I do is play with my sisters extreme Rubiks cube. It is a great way to have fun. But before having that toy, what I would basically do is go to school and do homework. Strangely, in some subjects, I actually enjoy doing homemwork. It soothes me a little bit.

I, like you, talk to someone, write, or listen to music. I put in one of my CDs that really makes me want to move and clean or go out for a drive with my CD. Another thing that I do, too, is to realize that sometimes there is nothing wrong with being in a funk. I know it sounds goofy, but sometimes I just take my book to the park and reflect on what is putting me in the funk. Maybe there is something that I really need to think about, and I come up with good ideas that way.
