I was tagged by IRIS a few days back and haven't really given it some thought until today because well apparently Little Miss Kessa has been extremely busy with work, school, life and living it one day at a time. This Easter Sunday, aside from making amends to the people I may have wronged in the past and in between packing stuff as I get ready to move to my new place, I have decided to sit down before I get to my busy mode once again.
So here's what IRIS is making me do this time:
1. Mention the person who nominated you. - check
2. List 6 unimportant things that make you happy. - check
3. Tag 6 blogs, state the rules, and notify them with a teeny comment on their blog. - must do
Without further ado, presenting to the world the list of my simple pleasures and sometimes unassuming things that make me oh-so-happy and giddy to say the least:
(NOTE: This list may contain things that are important to everyone else so I beg for y'all not to judge and start pointing dart pins toward me.)
1. At least 2 planners I can use for the whole year - Yes, this little notebook makes me happy. I know I can rely on electronic but I could not possibly retire a paper and pen lifestyle. Not in this lifetime I should say. I could not possibly give everyone an explanation why I love keeping such and why in this world it makes me happy except for one special reason, my hands get all shaky if I don't write anything for an extended period of time. It is by far a very safe place for me to store my appointments as I could not trust myself into backing up my data in my computer, all the more the ones I have in my mobile phones.
2. Post-It Notes - And you are wondering why I am fervently wishing that I was the one who discovered it. Oh no, I can't possibly be content with just one color in my office drawer. I have neon green, neon pink, blue, red, pale pink, lilac and the fancy Garfield and Mickey Mouse editions. I also have tacked in my cork board in my room. I could not get enough of this fancy discovery. And then again, it reinforces my love for a paper and pen lifestyle. I have it in all sizes, shape and how sticky the underside is. Having all this arranged by size and shape in my drawer makes me happy. Want some sticky happiness?
3. QTips - Well yes that term is patented so some of you may know it as cotton swab, cotton-tip applicator, I call it simply as the cotton buds. If you have been born 80 years ago, you might be calling it as Baby Gay as it is fondly called by its Polish inventor. For me, it is the best make up mistake rescue tool. Hehehe! Do you fancy the name now? But there are a few other uses to it such as but not limited to: Create smoky eyes by smudging color into the lashes, apply lip stain with a cotton swab to avoid staining fingers and get it in all the right places, keep nail polish bottles from sealing shut by swathing the rim in vegetable oil, target mascara-less lashes without messing up the rest, pop pimples safely by gently rolling it over a zit for a scar-free pop and have you tried sneezing after putting on mascara? Your makeup isn’t ruined! Just dab a Q-tip in foundation and roll over the smudges. All hail to that QTip inventor. What makes me even more happier? That is when I use the pink or the blue ones.
4. Nail Care - polish change and foot spa every two weeks and paraffin wax once a month. This does not fall in the needs category so I deem it is unimportant but truth be told I have made it a staple in my life. And every time get a smudge free finish, I am all smiles.
5. Waxing Sessions - After the squinting and the ouches and the terrible amount of pain and the lifts of the wax paper, nothing else matters... (Did I say the hot wax is soothing?) Need I say more?
6. Window Seat - whenever I am getting on a flight, I always make sure that I am seated next to a window. Whenever I get on a bus or car ride, I would be a happy passenger if I am seated next to a window. Being able to see what's outside makes me happy in a weird kind of way. Weird!
So now I need to tag six people. Hmmmmm, this is the hardest bit. I am not sure who to tag much less who would be game enough to do this whole thing I did. I will do the tagging in the next few days...

All good fun. ;-)
cotton buds, ohmymama, that's a necessity for me! not for anything else but to soothe my ears. i'm addicted to it actually, and i've had 3 ear infections since grade school because of it, warned by my doctor to stop it because it makes my ears very dry, but well, i couldn't. now, i keep it away from my sight though, because i couldn't resist it, my ears automatically itches when i see cotton buds. ^-^
i love window seats too, but when i got married, love was giving it up for my husband who has the fascination of a 5 year old when it comes to plane window seats.
i will do the tag soon, thanks!
