Is Happiness Expensive?
People think that happiness is expensive.
If you look at the listbelow, they seem to be right!
Buffet lunch at Shangri-La Hotel P800++
Wearing a pair of Ferragamo shoes P12,000++
Driving, or being driven, in a 1999 Mercedes Benz P3 million
Lying beside a pool in cool Polo shorts P2,500
Checking the time in a Rolex P300,000
Malling in a Lacoste shirt P3,500
Seeing the glint of a one karat diamond ring (average) P100,000+
Walking in a party in an elegant Armani suit P50,000
Watching a movie in a VCD Player P20,000
Cuddling up in a Marks and Spencers pajamas P2,400
Daubing the scent of Estee Lauder perfume, small P2,000
Traveling in 'business class' instead of 'tourist' (U.S. trip) $2,000
There are people I know who don't think that happiness is expensive.
But what they do is awesomely enriching.
For them, happiness means:
Being quiet in prayer for 10 minutes each morning P0.00
Giving a glass of water to the postman and garbage collector P0.00

I am sharing to you now the piece of me... my thoughts, my feelings, my dreams, my sadness, my gladness, my conviction, my beliefs and everything I consider worth living and believing. Try to read between the lines... feel the words, ponder on it and you'll have an opportunity to live the world I am now living..or rather don't mind it at all! :)
Welcome! Take a peek on my world...
This is my world. Different from other people but sure, its wonderful and full of life. Yeah, right! I am different from other people and I want to stay that way. Afterall, I am here to make a difference in this world and not to please people to like me. Just remember, people will notice WHAT I do but only God knows WHY I do things..all motives are known only by Him. :)

The Proteus in me..
PROTEUS
In Greek mythology, Proteus is an early sea-god, one of several deities whom Homer calls the "Old Man of the Sea"[1], whose name suggests the "first", as protogonos is the "primordial" or the "firstborn". He became the son of Poseidon in the Olympian theogony (Odyssey iv. 432), or of Nereus and Doris, or of Oceanus and a Naiad, and was made the herdsman of Poseidon's seals, the great bull seal at the center of the harem. He can foretell the future, but, in a mytheme familiar from several cultures, will change his shape to avoid having to; he will answer only to someone who is capable of capturing him. From this feature of Proteus comes the adjective protean, with the general meaning of "versatile", "mutable", "capable of assuming many forms": "Protean" has positive connotations of flexibility, versatility and adaptability.
