Too many options can be a bad thing? April 27, 2009

From briefly reading The Happiness Revolution: Creating Balance and Harmony in Your Life, I’ve realized how having too many options in life can make you unhappy because you think there’s something or options that you should have but under the circumstances, you can’t have it all.

Or, that there are too many options, that you can’t simply settle with one and be happy with it forever. Such as your interests. You many have many interests, but you can’t really settle down for the best major or career because there are simply a lot of options available for your multiple interests. And not having to experience the possibilities, one can, in fact, long for something that they’ve never experienced. And with the “grass is greener on the other side” conception, people can be unhappy as a result of too many options which they could have chosen, but is unable to choose all. When the people are struggling, they may resent what they’ve chosen or decided to do. But hey if you think about it, you can also chose the next step that will bring you forward, without rewinding what you should or could have done.

Even though you might believe that there is only one thing for you. That is untrue because there’s just many other options available that are probably just as good or even better but they only exist to you once you discover them. However, searching for something better can make you unhappy too. But the most important thing is appreciate what you already have. Of course there’s many things that could have been better, but realizing that what is already existent in your life that makes you an individual and unique–your identity as a result of experience is priceless.

So to speak, life is endless; the good and bad happens; nothing is perfect but if you want it perfect, you just need to look forward and make the right step ahead!

Obsessed with a brand new anime: Hanasakeru Seishounen! April 25, 2009

I just watched 3 subbed episodes of Hanasakeru Seishounen and I am totally obsessed. Although it’s a very typical shoujo themed manga, perhaps a mix of Special A and Skip Beat, I think this anime is really addicting. Now I am excited to watch anime once again. It’s been a while since I’ve like a new anime these days. I’ve even lost interest in mangas for some reason. =/

Hanasakeru Seishounen is a bout a girl named Kajika Burnsworth, who accepted to play “the game” of finding, choosing, and marrying one of the three guys offered by his dad. The catch here is that the three guys nor Kajika knows that her dad is involved to initiate the encounter…but the rest is up to them which makes the anime somewhat unpredictable. I like the Eugene character the most so far. I kind of know where this anime is going… Hope the next episode will come out soon!
