I had dinner with my God sister today. I have not seen her since she got married last December, and it is good see her again. We had a simple dinner at the Tea Station in Irvine, she seems to be very happy with her new job at Argent and her married life and I am very happy for her.
After dinner, as I drove to Diedrich some studying (no library today, since Irvine library closes at 9:00PM and my dinner did not end until close to 8:00PM), I came to realize why some people in this world are happy. Like my God sis. I think Happiness is a derivative of contentment, meaning being comfortable and satisfied with what you have now, at the moment, rather they looking back and try to justify what could have been, what should have become. I think that is happiness. it is funny, for every person that you know (ask yourself that) you know that are happy, there are 10 people who are not, simply because they want more than what they have at hand. As that movie "Garden State" says (BTW, it is a pretty artsy movie, not the best, but artsy) Life sucks, so live with it. Don't find excuse and try to see the bright side of it :P
For myself, I think I am in the "inbetween" stage, which is good because I don't want to be too happy so that i lose sight of the rainow i am chasing. nor am I too coughtup in this whole late 20's symdrom where confusion and unrealistic and selfish wants and expectations set in.
Well, here is my 150 words of warm up for my writing excercise...now back to GMAT :P
Quote of the day --"Life is good when you wake up, have some food to eat, have some beverage to drink, have some cash to spend, have something to do, and at times, have some tails to nail" that is all... that my friend, is happiness (I forgot where I read that)
