Ngingiti na lamang...

When i was a kid, i thought happiness is the only reason for smiling. But as numbers kept adding up on my age, i discovered other reasons to smile.

*I smile when i am sad. I put a smile until i forget the reason why i am lonely. I smile until i forget that i should have cried. But then, it's ok to cry. Cry all you want until you feel better.

*I smile when i am frightened. I remember one time on a breath taking ride. I was so scared. My friend told me to scream but i can't. I don't know how cause every time i try, no voice would come out. So i found smiling an avenue to release fright.

*I smile when i am about to say something and yet can't speak it out.

*And i smile when i have nothing in mind and yet i was asked to say something.

*I smile whenever i see someone or something inspiring.

*I smile when i don't know what to do... pretending to be just fine.

So when you see me smiling and you think i'm just happy...Think again, for my reason could be different from what you think it is.

To end this, allow me to share my favorite line from the anime' Naruto.

"Ang pag-ngiti...ang pinakamadaling gawin kapag nalalagay sa alanganing sitwasyon."
-sai-

so whatever will come ahead of me...Aku'y ngingiti na lamang. :)
