things are looking brighter...
i never really understood what spring can bring. growing up in a tropical country, it is sunshine the whole year round. plants grow, they flower and die. then grow again after the rain. it's just two seasons for us back home, dry and wet, but all sunshine!
so my first taste of spring after 4 months or so of cold climate and short daylights in brussels has been a welcome relief. flowers bloom everywhere and colors abound! add to that the smiles in everyone's faces!
i was in the bus with lebo this evening, coming home from a dinner at isabel's place, and suddenly a chinese lady started chatting with us. she was so happy to hear us gossiping in english and just couldn't contain herself! she started this happy conversation, asking us why we're all smiling, where we're from and telling us happy stories of her travels around the world! she even hollered to a guy (a cute italian stud!) in the bus and whispered "he's my crush!" lebo and i cracked in laughter! the people in the bus were all ears to our chit chat and were smiling too!
i know things are looking brighter despite my futile efforts to find a suitable promoter for my thesis this past few days. i am holding on to this happy incident to rev me up with some positive spirit for the days to come.
i never got the lady's name. but i know she's sleeping well tonight with thoughts of our happy chat!

You have this happy disposition about you that I am not surprised it has dissipated on towards others.
That is why I love being around you. Laughter and chats are non-stop. And you have a way of understanding people....
See you later, gator!
