Happy Encounters: America's First Laughing Competition!
Believe it or not, but it's true! Came across this article and didn't know such competition exists Though it happened back in 2011 but still an interesting idea! Definitely agree that lauhing can be contagious.
The Laughman - The most contagious laugh in the world
It's no joke: The United States' first-ever laughing championship takes place Saturday in San Luis Obispo, Calif., and a few dozen gigglers, guffawers and chortlers will yuck it up in hopes of winning the coveted title of "California's Best Laugher."
We're serious: It's a laughing contest and the contestants will compete in events such as "Best Diabolical Laugh" and "Most Contagious Laugh" and face off in "Laughter Duels" to see who can make the other person crack up most.

Happy Encounters: Artem Smao, 14, Donates His Own Money To Unemployed Stranger
Here's another act of pay it forward by various different people, reminding us that there are people out there who wants to make the world a better place :)
Lodi Woman Says Teen's Selfless Gesture Changed Her Life: A Lodi woman says a 14-year-old boy selling newspapers changed her life with a simple offering she will never forget.
Last month, 14-year-old Artem Smao was selling newspaper subscriptions to fundraise a trip to Tahoe, a popular West Coast ski destination. In a twist of events, the California teen ended up donating all of his money to a complete stranger when he knocked on Robynn Fried's front door. Fried, a Lodi resident, told CBS News in Sacramento that she was unemployed at the time and two weeks away from being homeless when Smao approached her for a donation. When she explained that she could not afford to, the teen did not hesitate to hand over his envelope full of cash. "That's just something you don't expect out of kids these days," Fried told the Lodi News-Sentinal. "He was trying to win a trip to Tahoe, so when you're trying to earn something, it's really unbelievable to have that person turn around and offer what they're trying to earn." Less than a week after Smao's act of generosity, Fried was offered a job and said she wants to take the 14-year-old out to dinner to thank him.
Smao isn't the only teen who has gone out of his way to brighten someone else's day. Last July, four teens from Montana were on their way to a basketball game when they stumbled upon a wallet that was filled with $700. They returned the wallet completely intact before the owner even realized it was missing. "We decided if we'd lost our wallet, we would want somebody to return it," Kaylee Olson, one of the 14-year-olds, told the Great Falls Tribune. In March, another teen, 18-year-old Samantha Manns, set off to accomplish 89 random acts of kindness in honor of her 89-year-old grandmother who passed away. "I want people to feel the happiness that comes with giving selflessly and with caring uncontrollably," Manns wrote on the "89 Acts of Kindness" Facebook page. "While it's a good feeling to be known, it's an even better and more rewarding feeling to know I'm inspiring people to commit their OWN acts of kindness!"

Having taken such as long break from blogging, decided to start this up again, starting with my favourite yellow tulips that can brighten up anyone's day :)
Meaning of tulips: Tulips represent perfect love and a true, passionate lover. And of course, tulip flowers are also always associated with spring. Blooming in a multitude of colors, they are a vibrant, timeless symbol of spring. In particular, yellow tulips represent cheerful thoughts and sunshine.
