LUNCH AT BREAKFAST AT ANTONIO'S

I was chatting with a friend one night, and we gradually slipped into the question of am I happy? Ironically, simple questions reap rather difficult answers. Without a thought I answered with, I could be happier. Not only I was indirectly dodging the question, I was also telling the truth. Admittedly, it's hard to just throw out a direct yes or no answer on this type of question because it says so much about how you see your life, and the amount of satisfaction you feel reeling every single day of it.

I could be happier. But, I am also content.

I see happiness as life's hunger; you just need to keep on feeding it. Although I would not decline a comfortable lifestyle, I much rather spend my days working on life and finding things to look forward to along the way. There's nothing like waking up in the morning excited and giddy on the thought of what lies ahead. That's what makes me feel alive.

Much like this day I want to remember, a lunch at Breakfast at Antonio's in Tagaytay with my bestfriend. Unexpected conversations about the twists and turns of life, old feelings and impressions, and simply an overwhelming wave of gratitude, which inevitably brought me to, well, tears.

Screw the saying, just keep your friends closer.
 

Looking forward to a fun-packed long weekend! I hope you are, too :)
