HAHAHA

IN PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

Being happy could add years to your life. While happiness doesn't cure illness, it does help healthy people live about 7.5 to 10 years longer, according to an analysis of more than 30 studies. Researchers don't know for sure how happiness fosters physical health, but happy people may be more likely to watch their weight and be more perceptive of symptoms of illness.

Ways To Get Happy:

1. Practice random acts of kindness. Research shows altruism is a powerful catalyst for happiness.

2. Redefine happiness. Some people think happiness only menas pure joy, but it also includes emotions such as contentment. Work out what happiness means to you.

3. Be curious. Set aside time to do something new, such as taking up a new sport or visiting a different town.

It's been a while since I posted about TVXQ. Just the photos at the end of each blog. The actual point of this blog is for the Samsung HAHAHA campaign but somehow I just wanted to share the article above. The boys (especially Yunho and Yoochun hereafter dubbed the NOKY Brothers) did a series of public campaign announcement type thingy where they sang a song and basically act all dorky and goofy. The objective is to put smiles on peoples' faces. This effort is definitely a worthy one especially for the people in Korea with the increasing number of celebrity suicides this year. Really is a pity.

For fans of TVXQ the videos is actually nothing new but for those who are just getting to know them, it seriously is a different side than what they usually show on TV. They are total dorks. Also Yunho and Yoochun is my top three fave members in TVXQ. It would've been perfect if Junsu was there too!! Yoosu!!

What I'm trying to say is, it's not a crime to be happy and smile every once in a while. I'm not saying that you're gonna be happy every time you smile, but it's a step in the right direction. So every effort to bring more smiles on the earth, particularly for those who are suffering is a definite welcome. Come on everyone!! Show that sweet smile of yours.
