It has been awhile since I gave you a little peek into my life so here it is. =)
My sister, cousin, and I decided that we would participate in the 100 days of happiness challenge. As of yesterday. You can find more about it at http://100happydays.com/. Basically, they’re challenging us to find one happy moment in life every single day for 100 days. You document those moments with a photo and #100happydays. In the end, you’ll have at least a hundred photos of the little things that make you happy. Are you up for the challenge?
The little things in life?
I’m excited for summer. I seriously cannot wait, as you probably noticed in my Iced Lychee Mint Green Tea with Strawberries post. Every time I go to the supermarket, I look to see what fruits are being sold. I see the first peaches. That’s why I’m waiting for.
But, in the meantime, here are a few exotic fruits that are in season, and I’m obsessed over.
Mini Mangoes. I snapped this photo while at the supermarket. The lighting is awful, I know. lol. But aren’t the mini mangoes so cute? They’re almost double the price of the larger mangoes. Isn’t that crazy?
Jack fruit. I love these, but it is such a pain to remove the fruit. It is extremely sticky. We had to wear disposable gloves and grease the gloves with vegetable oil to remove the fruit. Was it worth it? Yes! If you havent’t tried this fruit, and would like to, I’d recommend buying the frozen one first. It’s slightly cheaper and in smaller quantity.
Durian. It’s a love it or hate it kind of fruit. If you’ve been around this fruit, you know what I’m talking about. It’s infamous. Can you believe that these grow on trees?
I just wanted to share some little “happy” moments with you. Every single day is filled with its up and downs. But it’s up to us to see the bright side of things. My happy moments will probably revolve around food. I can already see it…
What did we learn about me today? I love exotic fruits. lol.
Until next post.

I love jackfruit too.. Too bad i don’t find it here, iv looked around. 🙁 How i used to take it for granted back in my hometown..
Are you able to find frozen ones?
Oh maybe.. I haven’t looked for frozen ones. But then, even if i find it, it wont be as good as the fresh ones. I’l look around though..
The mangoes are so tiny! is it sweet?
It is really sweet! And the seeds are tiny and flat. The smallest one I saw was about the size of a walnut. =)
I love the 100 happy days concept! Most only have a similar idea at Thanksgiving. Thanks!
I love the idea too. It’s so much fun finding the little things in life that make you happy =)

That is really a good way of showing our happiness! Maybe I will try it sooner or later!!
I AM DOING THIS RIGHT NOW!!!! I modified it a bit because some of the things I’m happy about can’t be photographed. I set it up on my twitter where I document one thing a day. AWESOME challenge. It really puts you in the mindset to be positive! I am on day 18 and I can already tell a difference in my mood and attitude! Great post! Thank you for sharing and keep it up!!!
I’m just on the second day, and I’m having so much fun with it. I feel like there’s so many little things that make me happy. By focusing on that, everything else, the difficulties in life, doesn’t seem as bad. lol
EXACTLY! It really puts things in perspective. Be happy and proud for changing your life plus being a role model for others! Kudos!
I’m a big fan of durian and jackfruit. Over here, those are not very ‘exotic’ though.. 🙂
I love durian and jackfruit but they’re sort of a splurge since they’re so expensive here!
Love the 100 happy days idea but I am unable to register using an Ipad. Are you using a tablet or a computer?
I used a laptop to register. But I post photos onto Instagram through my iPad. It’s such a fun idea, isn’t it? I’ve been having fun taking photos. lol
Great post…..
Thanks!
I love this post. Have an amazing day!
Thanks, Connie! I hope you have a great day too =)
