i took miguel with me one night on one of my errands. i forget how we got to the topic but at one point, i remember asking him, "what makes you happy, miguel?"
his reply: "playing lego... building blocks... loving ninang!"
AWWW! i made it to the top three! isn't he the sweetest?
knowing that you are loved will make anyone happy. me pa? i'm a very easy person to please (read as "mababaw"). herewith is a short list of my simple joys:
- "playing" with kids young and old
- good food and even better conversation
- receiving shiny P5 coins
- finding P100 in my jeans pocket (actually, kahit P20, masaya na ako)
- being with my cousin aly anywhere from her house to divisoria
- my nephews and nieces
- receiving "lubong" from someone else's grocery run
- vanilla milkshakes
- plain m&m's - not from the fridge, mind you
- receiving handwritten letters and thank you notes
- a cold beer after a dive (aaaaaah!)
- a cold beer (period.)

mama aly, i'm so glad we're related. i could not ask for a better cousin. you're one of my affirmations that i am spoiled by God. sulit na sulit!
