Open Happiness ^_^

Many people think that happiness is out of reach--something that we can't achieve all on our own. But for me, happiness is a state of mind. What you entertain inside your head will try to manifest in your words and actions. So if you think you're no good or you're being desperate, chances are, you really are or will be. So the same goes with the achievement of any sort of happiness. It's impossible for anyone not to feel any kind of happiness, especially that you can always be happy even with the simplest and smallest of things.

I realized that you don't have to be rich just to be able to help the poor, the sick or those who are in trouble. You can always help other people, make them smile and make them feel loved through many simple but sincere ways. And one of these days, I'll try to make lots of strangers smile. :) After all, Christmas is in the air.

As I was browsing facebook and youtube, I found several videos about Coca-cola; their advertisements and other forms of promotion that really captured my heart. Here's one that's very relevant for this season, and one that many people can relate to:

Opening Happiness for Lonely, Yearning Hearts

The forbidden food of the gods x_x

I hate chocolates--well, I wish I really do. But chocolates are amongst my weaknesses. I know I can live without it; but it's just too difficult for me not to have a bite of my favorite "comfort food". It has become a necessity, especially during my red tide. hahaha

I just love anything chocolatey. Who could blame me? Our entire family are chocolate-lovers; we all have a sweet tooth. But of course, I know that eating too much is no longer acceptable. And although I've been trying so hard to resist its temptations, I just can't say no to it when it's so available in the fridge.

Eating chocolates, or dark chocolates, has its own pros and cons. Many studies have proven its positive effects to our bodies. Moderate intake of dark chocolates or those that contain cocoa, and not sugar, offers a lot of benefits to the heart. As they say, dark chocolates have anti-oxidants and other properties that could help enhance the performance of our cardiovascular system. I even found a kind of diet that relies on the moderate intake of "real" chocolates. But it seems that such diet is not that effective.

Well, the reason why I'm writing about chocolates is that because we (my siblings and I) have been digging for sweets these days. But I'm really, really doing my best to ignore chocolates; especially now that I'm back to my jogging routines. :) Besides, I no longer want to experience that excruciating pain I get whenever my teeth hurts. And I'm really hoping that I will no longer lose a tooth this year and the next years to come.
