spread a little happiness

i spent my one-hour break roaming around Iloilo's old city streets yesterday. a new habit i've developed since i started working for the krungkrungs. i don't really mind the foul smell of the central market when i pass along Iznart street. in fact, i tend to linger there and check the native stuffs that are sold in the stalls.

i wandered around while eating my banana q. there were so many kakanins along the streets, but i stuck to my banana q :)

walking without direction is my forte. i stitched the small pathways and wide streets in one hour. on my way back to our building, i took the main street. as i was about to cross the street, i saw a mentally challenged, rubbishly dressed young man and he was wearing a priceless happy face. he was blowing bubbles at the corner of the street. big bubbles. big bubbly bubbles. he was just enveloped in his own happiness...in his own world. he was oblivious to the traffic of vehicles and people around him. he was happy. he was very happy blowing bubbles.

i happen to love big bubbly bubbles! i stood at a distance from that young man for a while and watched his fascination to the bubbles that he made. i was mesmerized as well, as i followed the direction of the bubbles that he produced.

some people say that mentally challenged people are not aware of where they are or what they're doing...what that young man wasn't aware of at that time? he didn't know how happy he made me : )

....keep doing what makes you happy. for all you know, it makes other people happy too : )
