--- AM I HAPPY?

Today I came across a thought. A very simple thought that caused me to contemplate about it for a very long time. Am I happy? I mean, I'm writing a freaking blog about happiness... shouldn't I be happy in order to write happy posts? But, what if I'm not? What if I'm a depressed and miserable person who doesn't know that I am depressed and miserable? What do I do then? Should I quit writing on this blog and make another one called theSadMorning? Wow..the name is quite discouraging.. I'm not particularly sad or anything, I just happened to think about the question. How do we know whether or not we are happy? What if we're just deceiving ourselves into believing that we are happy when we are not? You know, it's highly possible that all of us (humans) are living under a black, evil fog. Have you ever thought about that? It's REALLY possible... Perhaps, I'm becoming a little... crazy. I hope not. I think I ate too much snacks today. Two packages of chips are beside me. One is Corn flavored and one is Potato flavored. Which one do I like more? I don't know.. what do you think? Wait... how would YOU know? You weren't with me when I was eating those delectable chips... Oh wow..I want another package. OKAY. IT'S OKAY. It's 9:34 p.m. Oh wait... I'm not that hungry though... Maybe I'm just pretending to be crazy because this post is a little weird to begin with. What was this blog about again? Happiness. Wow... I digress a lot, don't I.. Anyway, back to the point. Am I happy?  Well, it depends on what you mean by "happy." The denotation for this word is: characterized by or indicative of pleasure, contentment, or joy.  Hmmm... well in that case, I think I'm... in the middle. I'm not happy, I'm not sad. I'm not laughing, I'm not crying. I'm not ROFL-ing, and I'm not D: -ing either. So I guess I'm in the middle. I should come up with a name for this "middle feeling." The name should be... a combination of "happy" and "sad." So, I think I'll call it... sappy. It's awesome right? I guess I got better at coming up with new words based on two different words because I played the "coming-up-with-a-new-word" game with Jen a lot of times on saturday. I think the words that we came up were; tibbit (tiger + rabit), dots (dogs + cats), and ... I don't remember all of them. But, we created many interesting names. Do you remember, Jen? Anyway, oh gosh... listen to me, I'm talking about something totally irrelevant to my topic. ANYWAY, my conclusion: I am sappy. And if you managed to focus on this post without getting distracted, you should know what that word means.

TREES :)

*Word of the day: sappy. Definition: characterized by a mixed feeling of joy and sadness.

--- Random pictures of everything

Hello, hello. Today I looked through all of my photos on my camera and because of the fact that most of them brought smiles on my face, I'm going to post about them. The first picture contains a cheesecake that I made for my mom's best friend's family that visited us from Korea, stopping by on their way to some other place. I got my recipe from this random korean video on Naver a year ago and I have been using it ever since. I simply topped it with whipping cream and strawberries.

The second picture was taken spontaneously. For no reason at all. I guess the beauty of the sunset enthralled me into taking the photo subconsciously. I took it from my balcony.



The third one is a picture that I took quickly before going to Baton Rouge. My mom's friend's family, my family and I was just below the CN Tower and the angle just seemed perfect to me at the time. So, I just had to push the shutter button.

The fourth picture was taken in Baton Rouge. We ordered a Chicken Tender Salad as an appetizer. By this time I realized the "BS" button on my digital camera and my curiosity urged me to press it. The "BS" stood for Best Shot - not the swear word - and it had many different options, such as food, buildings, self-portrait, two - people picture and etc, of taking a picture. Obviously I chose the Food option because I was going to take pictures of... food.

Here is the fifth picture. Ahhh, this is what I ate. A Deluxe Hamburger. "8 oz. of Angus Pride chuck, garnished with shredded lettuce, tomato, chopped onions,dill pickle, mayonnaise and mustard. Served on a fresh toasted bun."

My mother, craving for food that contained less fat, chose the Seafood Linguini: Sautéed jumbo Black Tiger shrimp and North Atlantic Sea scallops tossed in a classic rosé sauce. Tasted AWESOME, but perhaps too creamy for my taste.

My sixth (?) picture: a bit blurry, but whatever. This picture was taken in my balcony when I was charmed by the city-ness of the area. This is my favorite picture, I think.

THE SEVENTH PICTURE: My Potato and Leek ( I used spring onions) Soup with the magic of Philadelphia Cream Cheese. Again, it was too creamy for my taste, but my friends loved it! They ended up finishing the last drop of the soup from the pot, which of course made me happy.

Eighth Picture. I took this photo excitedly when I saw the "very" awesome, huge lemon decoration on  top of the store. The amiable workers sold me vanilla ice cream on a cone (: Did I tell you that I really like ice cream?



Anyway, that was my post "displaying" what I've been up to for the past...I don't know, three weeks? Well, from the pictures you can tell that I was busy, so dont be mad at me! Cheers!

--- Dear Jennifer

I do look like a goat when I wear shorts and black flats at the same time. So FYI I DO SOO look like a goat. Thank you. So you don't NEED to send me a picture of a goat to prove that I don't look like a goat because it's my opinion - not that I don't respect yours - and I have the right to think whatever I want. So Dear JENNIFER, whom I am on the phone with right now, I DO LOOK LIKE A GOAT.

thank you for reading, jennifer.
p.s. you just said that you cannot wait to read this...
p.p.s i basically just told you everything that I'm writing so WHY ARE YOU SO EXCITED TO READ THIS? WHEN YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT IM WRITING.
p.p.p.s. i'm assuming that you are writing something because I can hear your breath slowing down as you try to think of a response.
p.p.p.p.s you're talking to your mom and I'm guessing that you have to go sleep soon, so I will end my SHORT SHORT SHORT but very SIGNIFICANT blog post here so that you can listen to your mommy. KAY. see you tomorrow - or "hear" you on the phone ;)

--- The Scarf

On a chilly night in December, my brother was walking home from work. As he was casually passing by a store, a burly man appeared behind him and started to follow him. Unaware of the situation, my brother kept going. However, he started to feel uneasy and hesitantly peered over his shoulder. There was a man, very conspicuous in his bright yellow coat. My brother noticed the man's dogged gait and started to sweat, uncomfortable of the strange man's appearance. Suddenly, the man called out. My brother, clearly nervous, walked towards the man, and when he stood face to face with the bulky man, the guy cheerfully said, "You dropped your scarf on the ground!"

-- My 11 minute poem with Jenneefer :)

Topic given by Jennifer: Walking through a forest in winter

Step by step, I gracefully walk forward,
white snowflakes dancing in the sky,
On I go, gradually climbing upward,
and look down to the world to say goodbye

Here I am, holding hand to hand with my lover,
snow flakes gently landing on our heart,
we kiss as our souls beautifully hover,
for this is the last time before we part

--- I have nothing to talk about

I am infront of my computer, looking absently out the window. I have nothing to talk about. I have nothing to say. I have nothing to blog about. So... why are you still reading this?

My blue bear (:

:D
be happy!
