When two college girls sees you biking in your usual dress and leggings outfit. "Ang cute niya o!" one of them says, pointing at me. 

When an adorable four-year-old, bedecked in a pink ballerina dress and high-heeled wedges, greets you as soon as you step into the office. "Hi auntie B!" she says, her sweet smile adorning her chubby face.

When, during a rainy day monday morning, both your parents are home and you pick up the guitar and request them to play and sing 'Blowing in the wind', and they oblige, and you listen to them, to the song, to the drops of rain outside, and then life is good and comfortable and warm and the living room is, indeed, a living room.
