Smile Out
Smile In
“Smile at the world and the world will smile back at you.”
Every morning, whether I woke with a bad headache or still groggy from a bad sleep, the first thing I do is smile. It doesn’t matter if I like to smile at that time. I force myself to do it because it’s a nice habit and I always feel a little better afterwards.
It was a habit I learned from one of my favorite utility personnel from our company, Manang Letty. My routine is going to work very early in the morning, between 6 to 6:30 AM but despite my being among the earliest, I always arrived at work with a smiling Manang Letty who at the time of my arrival already cleaned half of the building of the city hall! She was an amazing woman! You would never see a trace of weariness or irritation even after serving for more than 8 hours a day for only a hundred peso pay!
Her smile is always contagious and never cease on making me feel better. With her smile, I would somehow forget I had a fight with my husband or had a very tiring day or will face a dreadful day at work. her enthusiasm and cheerfulness inspired me to share the gift.
There was a cliche that it takes more muscles to frown than to smile and although it may be wrong (there were already opposing claims about this fact), I don’t care. Smiling makes me feel good and if I can help making others feel a little better too with my smile, I don’t mind stressing my muscles a little more.

Lad Madrigal: Nakakatuwa, napaka informative at talagang helpful ang blog mo. Rating: 11 out of 10 haha.
Edelweiza: Hi der! I admire BF, too. I always see him during Cabinet events in the Palace as our office is the one in-charge of them. It’s his strong character and sincere efforts to “urbanize” the metropolis and us city dwellers that keeps me an avid fan. He belongs to a very rare breed of public officials that really walk the talk. I think he deserves all the support he can get from Filipinos. :D
Dennis: I was once a passerby, ngaun mukang magiging regular reader at “avid fan” na din! hahaha!
