There's big happiness that has long-term effects, and small teeny weeny ones that brighten up your days.

Today I saw someone buy something for her friend, and I thought the gesture was nice and sweet, (well, the item was pretty too). Then I realised that it's been quite some time since I received a gift. Well, I'm not talking about those nicely-packaged presents in boxes with ribbons and bows given on a particular day (e.g. birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's etc). Just simple things that are bought when people think of me, or think/know that I like something. Although I must admit that I'm not much of a present-giver, and I'm really bad at choosing gifts and buying stuff for someone. But I do try!

Receiving a small lil gift out of the blue can really make a difference. It's like a form of affirmation that someone actually cares, remembers, and thinks of you. I used to receive small lil presents pretty often from someone, and everytime I got something - small or big, cheap or expensive; it totally made me smile. I miss those lil happy surprises. Well, at least there was a point in time when someone actually cared and bothered. :)

There's this Love Language Test, and I'm sure if I take it, my mode of showing my affection will definitely not be that of giving gifts. I show my affection in other ways, probably through 'physical touch' and 'words of affirmation'. But then again, I love to receive presents. Haha, c'mon ... don't we all?

And I have a new favourite song for the moment, pretty catchy dumdidadidums ...

Just tell me what you've got to say to me,
I've been waiting for so long to hear the truth,
It comes as no surprise at all you see,
So cut the crap and tell me that we're through.

Now I know your heart, I know your mind,
You don't even know you're being unkind,
So much for all your highbrow Marxist ways,
Just use me up and then you walk away,
Boy you can't play me that way.

Well I guess what you say is true,
I could never be the right kind of girl for you,
I could never be your woman.

When I saw my best friend yesterday,
She said she never liked you from the start,
Well me, I wish that I could claim the same,
But you always knew you held my heart.
And you're such a charming handsome man,
Now I think I finally understand,
Is it in your genes?, I don't know,
But I'll soon find out, that's for sure,
Why did you play me this way?

Well I guess what you say is true,
I could never be the right kind of girl for you,
I could never be your woman.

Well I guess what they say is true,
I could never spend my life with a man like you,
I could never be your woman.
