Finding True Happiness

TRUE HAPPINESS is the complete fulfillment of one’s ardent and fervent prayer and wish to overcome a persistent and difficult situation in one’s life.

Going to parties, buying expensive cars, houses, clothes or jewelries is not true happiness. They are just enjoyable moments that will wither away with time.

Is falling in love and getting married happiness?

For a moment, yes. After the honeymoon is over, that happiness can turn into bitterness or despair. That’s when financial woes step in and negates the famous storybook ending…

“and they lived happily ever after.”

Yes, we can find happiness by completely winning over life’s greatest trials. You surely would be happiest to find out that you no longer have cancer. Perhaps, only by acts of faith or miracles can one find the true meaning of happiness.

Spirituality brings happiness, knowing that your prayers have been answered by God. Happiness also connotes intense joy by attaining a positive or pleasant emotional or mental state.

Winning a multi million lottery or seeing your team win a hard fought championship game are examples of experiencing intense joy. Triumph over the unexpected characterizes happiness.

 

I am not a psychologist, and for me happiness can be very subjective. Perhaps, a married woman finds happiness and contentment in having a family. She should NEVER SAY single women are not happy in the state they are in. I am still single and I do enjoy every minute of remaining single in life. We live in two different worlds and for me my world is where I am most happy.

Yes, it is true that there are a lot of advantages and disadvantages of being either married or single. But finding happiness is a personal choice on how one wants to live his or her life in this world. Finding True Happiness in the real sense can be best explained thru religion and philosophy.

For Buddhist, real happiness can be attained by practicing Nirvana or the state of everlasting peace, happiness and the ultimate freedom from suffering.

Christianity emphasizes on spirituality and the well being of the soul. Blessed Happiness can be attained not in this life, but the next. It is knowing the essence of God in the afterlife.

As for philosophers, Aristotle believes that,

“a happy life is a good life”

• a life in which a person fulfills human nature in an excellent way thru moral virtue.

Abraham Lincoln once said,

“Most people are about as happy as they decide to be.”

 

Cat or Dog

I was, am and will always be a dog person. I’ve taken care of dogs amongst other pets since I was a little girl.

No offense to feline lovers, but personally cats are not in my pet wish list. I guess it’s about the negative experiences I had with cats.

First is the stinking poop that always greets me by our doorstep on mornings when I just got out of bed. Yuck! I should be inhaling fresh air instead and not that “aroma”! LOL!

Secondly, cats almost always shed a lot of hair which may cause respiratory problems to asthmatic persons. While I am not asthmatic, their hairs makes me sneeze. I have never heard of and seen a hairless cat.

On the other hand, Mexicans say that a pure bred chihuahua’s hairy scent is good for asthmatics. Fact or fiction??? Never had that breed of dog. Moreso, cats are in the habit of jumping into your bed spreading hairs and who knows what… fleas? Oh God, no way! Our dogs are more of outdoor guard pets and are never invited to sleep on our beds, unlike the way most Americans treat their dogs.

Another thing about cats is that they seldom if ever, are given a good bath. I know for a fact that our stray domesticated house cats never had a bath since birth. Perhaps, the more sophisticated and vanity pampered Persian or Siamese cats do enjoy good grooming from their rich masters. But in fairness, I enjoy looking at cute kitten pictures and watching funny videos of cats doing silly antics.

How about you?

Are you a dog or a cat lover? Your pick.

Android Apps Scam

I’ve been out of circulation from my regular blogging sessions for quite sometime now. I am a bit rusted, I must admit, and now I feel like a newbie blogger again. Off late, I was involved in a sort of “call reviewing” job using my trusty iPhone as my tool-of-trade. The online job provider is called Humanatic. My main job is to listen and sort out calls. It’s quite a challenging job, but like a call center agent, I have to keep wide awake at night to cope with my job. The Philippines is at the opposite time zone with the West and other parts of the world. While I am still current with Humanatic and having worked for them for a long while, I am starting to find my job monotonous and boring. Really, it’s a typical routine job that you do day in and day out. No variety whatsoever.

WINR Games Inc

One day, I tried searching “Make Money” on Google Play Store. There I found a lot of apps showing PayPal and Bitcoin rewards. Checking further, I found more enticing apps that would make you money by playing games. Actually, this was the first android app that caught my attention. It is called “Solitaire – Make Money Free”. It was developed by WINR Games Inc. I got to like this app because since my elementary school days, I learned to play solitaire using my dad’s deck of cards during my free time. It’s a game I am very familiar with and who knows, I may end up a millionaire. LOL!

Kidding aside, the essence of this blog is to warn you guys on the possibilities of ANDROID SCAMS. No offense to Google, but their Play Store may likewise contain dangerous device hacking software. Meaning, it is hard to determine if your android app is a legitimate or not. Many malicious android apps come in the guise of legitimate apps. In my little experience on this subject, I found some ways on how to verify the legitimacy of an android app and avoid being scammed.

• First of all, I check on the star ratings of the app and comments made by users. Read what they say. A two-star app and no reply from the developer is certainly not worth your while.
• Secondly, I would check on the veracity of the app maker or developer. Every app page must feature the developer directly beneath the title or name of the app which is normally written with capitalized letters. A dead give-away of an android scam app are non-capitalized writing and wrong spellings of the developer’s name and on the app page itself.
• Thirdly, investigate if the android app has obtained permission. Check the bottom of the screen near the link to the developer’s website.
• Fourthly, if your apps are from unknown sources, quickly disable them.

And finally, your android phone MUST have an anti-virus app installed. With this, you can get rid of unwanted apps that are a waste of time. This installation also protects you from malicious websites and/or things that may cause you or your android phone harm.

I am no expert on scam detection, but with this little knowlege on hand, you are somehow alerted and spared from android scam applications.

The Essence of Time

Most of us view the sunset as the end of one fine and busy day and the beginning of their nocturnal activities to unwind themselves from the hectic day that was.

For me, the sunset always remind me of the essence of TIME. Its always has a beginning and always an end. While sunrise heralds awakening to a bright new day of toil and adventure, sunset on the other hand means, it’s time to head back to your nest and spend your night in peace, serenity and of family sharing and bonding. For me, sunset also means preparing yourself to meet the next sunrise with more confidence and optimism in facing the never ending challenges of our daily life.

How about you? How’s your sunset like?
