“Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.” :)

Small things are heart-warming to me. I am so easily impressed and it doesn't take much to touch me. Maybe it's my simplicity, or maybe it's my lack of sophistication. But I don't mind finding joy in small things, such as these :)

1. The right song at the right time on KLOVE.
2. Falling asleep on my dad's shoulder while watching Asianet.
3. Smiles on little kids.
4. Chocolate.
5. Giving my sister one of those pick-her-off-the-ground-and-spin-her-around hugs.
