little things that make you happy

i was heartbroken a couple of weeks ago prior to our departure to bangkok. my timex watch stopped and when i asked the service center to replace the battery, i was told that the machine isn't working anymore. the watch had been with me for more than eight years now and i just couldn't just let go...

last sunday, because i'm stubborn, i went to another shop of timex to ask that the batteries be replaced. same thing, the machine isn't working, they said. i was so crestfallen when suddenly, the technician suggested that 'why not have the machine be replaced?' i immediately asked (with probably very excited, wide eyes) if it really can be done and they said yes, but they had to send the unit to their main office and it would take months to have the machine replaced. my goodness! i don't care how long i'd wait as long as i can still use it again. beats the crap out of buying a new one when replacing the machine costs just around a thousand. yehey! that's a happy moment, don't you think. truly, little things can make you happy!
