Contentment is happiness

   "What is the thing that will really make you happy?"
   Indeed, even we know that it is not right, we will still do such thing because it makes us happy. But.......there's a contrary to that, "not all the things that makes us happy is right". A line in that movIe " do I need this or not? " reminded me of a funny situation happened in my past during my highschool days. Remember when the hottest boy group in Asia known as f4 came to our country and started to catch every girl's attention? I didn't missed even a single episode of their movie and I became addicted of buying items having a picture of them. I had their posters, cd's, t-shirts, etc. But because I almost bought different f4 items, I realized I already spent too much only for that. Specially today that their fame here in our country have faded, I'm laughing at myself because my money was taken by the wind as fast as how they were forgotten. The bottom line is that, it made me happy, but it didn't last a lifetime.
   I know how Rebecca feels. Even your mind tells you that you must not waste money for a single thing that is worth more than your life, it is your love and interest, your heart, that excites you and pushes you just to do so. Doing a toss coin doesn't work. You may even cheat yourself even if you do a minimini minimo.
  In conclusion, for me it's not bad to spend money for things that is unimportant but makes us smile. It only becomes worse if we will do it all the time. That is already a bad habbit. Remember that money cannot buy happiness. We don't need to be always in fashion, or by having the latest model of cell phones and other gadgets. What matters most is that we eat three times a day. To be contented is to be HAPPY.
