Because I’m An Addict

I bought new pens! Yes — new pens! In addition to the 50+ colorful pens that I have right now, I bought the pens out of impulse and aside from that, I also bought a pen for my dad for his 44^th birthday. He’s currently taking up law so I guess buying him a fountain pen is just perfect. I even had his name engraved on it to make it more personalized.

I really wanted to buy the more elegant one but since I only have a limited budget for his present, I settled on the not-so-expensive Parker fountain pen that I saw in National Bookstore this afternoon.

Anyway, I think the reason for my too much liking on colorful pens is because of the pens I lost back then. Well you see, I wasn’t able to keep a pen back in high school. One day I’ll buy a new gel pen, the next day I would misplace it somewhere, leaving me pen-less and penny-less.

So I guess a pen is nothing compared to an allergy relief, eh?

The Shrek Fairytale

you know what the best part of the day was? I got the chance to fall in love with you all over again

                                                                                                                   - SHREK

I know. I know. Shrek premiered weeks ago and I am such a loser for watching the movie only now. Blame it on my busy schedule and delayed payout. Anyway… Well, that was touching. It’s a typical fairytale only that, the protagonists were ogres.

The funny tale of two ogres falling in love with each other taught me that sometimes, we do not get contented with what we have and ask for more. We do not see that we already possess all the finest riches this world can offer us — friends, family, love, but instead of being happy and appreciating the blessings in our lives, we take it all for granted and ask for more. We do not need Rumpelstilskin to grant our wishes rather, we should just be happy with what we have now. We always think of what would happen if only that one incident in our lives did not happen, instead of thinking what we would have lost if we missed that one single moment we could never have again.

You know the line, ‘don’t it always seem to go, that you don’t know what you’ve got ‘til its gone’? Its one helluvah fact that we still do not fully understand.

I’ll keep this blog post short because now i know that contentment is the key to happiness. Don’t you ever forget that. =)
