If I were to describe myself in one word, I would say that I am happy.
Simple right? Bakit hindi? In a way, it could apply to many things.
How am I right now?
-I'm feeling happy.
Name of my current pet?
-My baby boy, Happy!
Things I always look forward to?
-Birthdays, holidays, and New Year's. Ang saya diba?
One movie I will never forget because it made me cry buckets?
-Pursuit of Happyness. Legit tear-jerker.
A saying that made me smile recently?
-"If you want happiness for an hour — take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day — go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year — inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime — help someone else."
Words I say to myself whenever I'm feeling down at the moment?
-"Think happy thoughts." Cliche, I know. But that's the point. You want to forget how sad you are by focusing on the positive things, even for a while.
My constant advice to those who are currently having a hard time?
-"You'll be happy soon enough. Malalagpasan mo rin 'yan. "
Funny thing, you might think my parents were happy-go-lucky even without meeting me. Paano kasi, ang lakas makaloko ng pangalan ko. Akala mo hindi gaanong pinag-isipan nina Mommy at Daddy.
Pero ano nga ba ang kaakibat ng kasiyahan? Ang hindi maiiwasang pagsubok at kalungkutan ba?
If anything matches happiness, it's life. I'm a fan of life and all it brings—experiences, hopes, dreams, mysteries, hardships, lessons—name it.
Kaya nga nandito ako ngayon at nagsusulat. I want to say things that even the merry girl of Antipolo Street won't even tell her closest friends.
My name is Abcedee, and as my name suggests (in case you haven't realized it yet), I'll be sharing a piece of me throughout the ages.
This is my letter through the years.
