do you believe in pseudohappiness?

Okay, maybe this word does not exist in the oxford dictionary. However, i think it should, at least for people who believed in pseudohappiness..

i am recently living by the 'i-am-happy-today-because-...(fill in the blanks)..'- theory.. i guess everyone deserved to be happy, at least once a year.. so i guess, since that big day is inching by, i should perhaps, learn to count my blessings:

i am happy because i have a happy, healthy family,
i am happy because i have good, fun, supportive friends,
i am happy because whenever i am depressed/bored, there is someone i could call,
i am happy because i am in a relatively good health,
i am happy because i managed to survived medical school till my final year,
i am happy because i am actually starting to enjoy ward rounds and on-calls, which i know is crazy, btw,
i am happy because patients have been very nice to me this week, they are very generous with smiles and 'Thank you dr' phrases, and i haven't had any rejections from patients during my rotation,
i am happy because today, i ate the best pan mee (noodles) in the world! (self-declared, which i will blog about later)
i am happy because someone said i looked pretty today, ^^
i am happy because i thought i was late for class, but end up being an hour early,
i am happy because, despite given wrong directions and a wrongly drawn map, i managed to reach my destination today, (perhaps not so geographically blind after all)
i am happy because of who i am, and what i have became,
i am happy because i have a blog which i could ventilate,
i am happy because you are spending time to read this,
i am happy because i have readers on my blog, who are friendly and supportive,
i am happy for all the big and little things,
i am happy because of all the reasons above and more...

some updates on my life:
- i was not able to online as usual, for the past few days because, my modem broke down, and the hostel internet (which was my alternative option) blocked most of the online sites, including my mail and blogs (sigh...).. but it's okay, we got ourselves a new modem today =) (and i am happy for that)
- i had a super sarcastic supervisor for my medical rotations, who started our briefing last Monday with : 'i am not your friend, and i will never be your friend, so do not smile at me, and we should keep a space between us'... i used to like sarcasm, but it doesn't seem very nice when it's used against us, oh well... but, i have to admit, he is a very smart, hardworking and competent specialist, there is so much i could learn from him... so, the sarcasm, it's okay...
- i'll be in teluk intan hospital again, next week, for a one week rotation.. although i used to dread going to the place, but i guess, some time off would do me good... and i am happy because it is just a one week =)

so, there you go, my first happy blog post.. not too bad for a start, ey? Perhaps, i should consider changing the header to a more happy one too.. though i really liked this current existing header..
