{dress from landmark, wedges from das, mango sling}
Ignore previous tweets/status updates, ended up and spent the night in Laguna with the family. I had such a good time with them, much so that before I woke from my nap 2minutes ago, I was jet-setting with them: Singapore and then India.
In my dreamworld, we visited some monks in India and we were asking help in translating the phrases thank you and please. In that dream, they had no such thing as please so the monk recommened “I’m happy”. He then went on to give his definition of great happiness to which I responded, “wait a sec, you’re the guy from Eat Pray Love”. It was such a weird dream that ended with the family in a Wendy’s buffet. 
I felt really good when I woke up, and I quickly googled to see if the definition of great happiness is there, couldn’t find any so I just typed “eat pray love happiness quotes” to which I ended up with this one:
Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You have to fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. 

You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestations of your own blessings. 
And once you achieve a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it… 
It’s easy enough to pray when you’re in distress but continuing to pray even when your crisis has passed is like a sealing process, helping your soul hold tight to its good attainments.” 
– Eat Pray Love, Elizabeth Gilbert

I think it’s God’s way of further responding to my prayer in the beautiful Sta. Rosa church this morning. His way of reminding me to be thankful and to be happy… and to stop being too want-y. ♡
