bata.

There is no better way than waking up smiling to the promise of a brand new day. (Ok that was too cheesy for an intro.. hahaha). But really this morning is a testament of how refreshing it is to start your day with good vibrations. So despite my ever so pestering cough 'n colds, I embraced my morning with a smile and man does it feel good.

And all this mush is brought to you by our neighbor's loud radio, playing this song earlier today.

 "Katulad ka ng isang umagang may ngiti..."

I know.. I know.. this song is sooo last year, but I just can't get myself not wanting to be Madeline at 1:30 from the video above (well that's an information for a whole different kind of blog). And mind you I wasn't into this back then as much as I am now, which is weird considering the nature of the song and how it would've been more appropriate for me to relate to these kind of songs back then. And while listening to this on constant repeat, I realized the reason why. 

I am in love. I'm always in love. And I'll always choose to feel that way.

Now don't get  me wrong because when I say 'love' I mean the whole package. And that includes everything from happiness, bliss, joy, belonging, contentment, 'kilig' , ecstasy to disappointment, pain, despair, acceptance, moving on and freedom. From my point of view, nobody can take one and can be spared from the rest. It takes all these things to fully appreciate that word and to come out as the better person you want to be.

We are all made to be loving spirits, and I think that's why we are able to live somehow on the same planet. We are all programmed to take that leap of faith and take in all that comes our way. And to that I say we should always be in love, with what we are, with the person we are with or not with, with our studies, with our job, with the people around us, with whatever situation we are in and with LIFE in general.
