For me, traveling makes me happy. It is my one and only passion. I live and work for travel. It makes me relaxed when I view google earth or some form of map and just stare at the possible destinations I can go to. I enjoy reading travel magazines during free time. It gives me great pleasure if I can arrange the trips of my friends and it gives me satisfaction when they liked the tour I designed for them. It seems every bit of my life revolves around traveling. This is my happiness. What is your happiness?

i love to travel as well! i love visiting new places. last year, i went to south korea, sri lanka, malaysia, cambodia and hongkong with family and friends. i try not to get out as often as before so i can save up and travel. hopefully this year, i get to travel to italy with a friend and her husband. but it would take a lot of saving up, LOL. another thing that makes me happy is food! trying different dishes always makes me happy :)

I like to travel and work online so that I may do it. Fortunatly, after much work, I have been able these last years to earn about $100 a month, not enough to pay bills but enough for my one luxury. Last year I was afraid I would not be able to do it as I had extra expenses due to shoulder surgery. But I managed to go for 10 days to the south of my country and 7 days to the north. It was very interesting and I had some adventures as one always has when one is willing to keep and open mind to other things. This year I´ll be going to Aruba for 2 weeks in March. I have my ticket and the money to pay for a new swimming suit a friend is bringing me from the US. I´m earning now the money for the lodgings and I will go with 3 young girls sharing lodgings. Another adventure for me.

Hmmm.... I kinda different. For me happiness is doing what I like such as reading books, being together with the people I love, family, friends, best friends, etc. happy is also when I reach something I dreamed of and I do it with my own effort. Today, I am happy because I can read new books from my friends and I spend the night out with all of my boarding house friend. We ate so much that we are really full. We share story, news and experiences and for me, it's precious.

Yes! That's what I think about. Today is great. I don't know why one of my friends ask us to go out for dinner. We really have a blast tonight. We are all happy and satisfied!!

Greetings! What makes me happy nowadays is bonding time with my friends and going out somewhere with them. I enjoy every destination when I'm with them. I also love adventure! The simple things that makes me happy too are shopping. I love to shop so that I have something new to wear. :)

Time with family. Time with Friends. Reading, music, art, online chatting and not forgetting discussions in here. They all make me happy. I am so easily contented. But my list of what makes me sad goes even longer....haiz...back to square one.

My school days and friends used to make me happy. then it was job choices that made me happy instead. now I would have to say that my children are what makes me happy. I can not imagine my life without them.

The joyful fact that I and most of my family and friends are living a moderately comfortable life. Granted, in this world, things could be far better than what they are right now at the moment. Still when you look at what the situation is for many other people in the world today, it could be far worse than it really is. So at least there are no problems with the people close to me. For closer to me, I would have to say that reading and writing would be something that gives me a lot of passion these days. There are times where inspiration just tends to flow and it really gives me joy to write. As for reading, there is nothing like picking up a good book and really just diving into it. So reading and writing, two things that really do make me very happy, something that gives me some joy even when the days can be dark and less happy.

People should be like that. They should learn how to value and be contented with what they have. By that, maybe stress will be reduced and people will leave happier lives. Reading happens to be one of the things I hate to do but I look up to those who reads a lot. Sometimes I envy them because it seems they know a lot but it seems I can't force myself to grab a book and read... hehehe...

my hapiness is my boyfriend. i never knew that he would court me. we were classmates in our major subject and i didn't know that we would reach this far. i thought adding him up on facebook will be the beginning and end of our friendship. it was fine with me yet he posted a message on my Wall which i didn't expect, so it started there. and now, our relationship is getting strong and we are both happy :)
