This is one thing we learned the other day when we met 12 inspiring individuals who choose happiness among other things.
Spread Happiness Around You
We met a man whose face radiates with happiness. No single moment that we caught him not smiling. And his smile was so contagious that not sooner than later, everyone was beaming the same sweet grin.
He is Winston Maxino, a corporate executive diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. Despite not feeling well that morning before his talk, he still managed to join Cebuana Lhuillier‘s Laughternoon event. The gathering was Cebuana Lhuillier’s way to commemorate the International Day of Happiness. Yes, there is such kind of occasion, and the leading and largest microfinance services in the Philippines celebrated it in one afternoon of laughter over good food and great company.

Kaya Na! with Cebuana Lhuillier Micro Savings
Momi Berlin Says Kaya Na! with Cebuana Lhuillier Micro Savings
His dream is for every Filipino to have a savings account. This dream, though, maybe somehow intimidating for those who do their budget yet aren’t sure how much money will be coming in. The same idea may appear non-sense for those who buy anything they fancy and do the prioritizing and saving later in life – until it was too late.
Pawning Our Wedding Ring
Momi shares her pawning experience at Cebuana Lhuillier
It was April 4, 2002. I got a call from my boyfriend. He told me to dress my best, and we will go somewhere.
I obliged and waited for him. He arrived at our house a little late than his promise. My mom just left so I wasn’t able to tell her I will be off somewhere with my boyfriend.
We traveled to Marikina City Hall. He explained to me on our way to the city hall that we are scheduled for an 11 am civil wedding. But when we arrived at the court, the judge who will officiate our union was already out for lunch. The assistant told us to be back by 1 pm. She also reminded us to ready our wedding ring.
