SmileUp!

SmileUp!

The mysteriousness of the curving lip. The shape of which it curls. Some smile from the heart, some smile as a matter of customary, some smile for personal ends. I'd read somewhere that to see if a person is sincerely smiling, cover the lower face and the eyes will tell.

My first fascination with the smile started in India. Alot of people who have been to India told me people either love or hate it. I have mixed feelings. My love for it is in the rural areas; I have no place for the urban or suburban, it does not have a place for me, too. I saw the smiles of the children in Holavanahalli, that of the teachers, the people whom we visited their homes, the smiles are genuine with humility and sincere from the heart. In comparison, no matter how the urbanites smile, you can feel the deceit. Could it be my prejudice? Maybe. But I would just smile back if I feel like being polite and after that I'll resume my expression. That's the effect of their smile.

Nowadays in Singapore, the government is encouraging everyone to go the extra mile. What other propaganda can there be? Anyway, to do that, everyone should smile first to let the customer feel welcomed and attended to. A constructed smile. Don't let smiles become a commodity.

My previous post of love. The manifestation of love must include smiles. There is almost undoubted truth of this saying that you don't possess anything in the world except love. Therefore smiles are all you can show for! Forget the Brooks Brothers shirts, LV, Gucci bags, and whatever shoes, nobody can look complete without the lovely smile.

Smiles are infectious. In the above example of the deceitful smile, there's a chance of smiling back. In the example of the Holavanahallian-inspired smile, I came back and resolved on maintaining a smile. Not because I want put on a smile, but I hope I can infect people to smile with me.

Every morning, no matter how tough the going gets, a smile brightens the day. It becomes a habit. There's surely something of everything that one can smile about; even if it's taking a cynical view of things.

Some times, people ask me what I've smiling for/at. I always replied, 'Smile lo, happy ma!' or, 'Hm? What expression to have if not smile?' *Smiles*

Smiles are infectious. Smiles are influential. I remembered now that the impact of its influence struck me so much so as to believe in it, leading eventually to Inspirafluenza. Today is a good day. Perhaps the banging of the car yesterday is indeed a symbolic event. Another project shall be initiated for year-end 2007.

In the course of this smiling post, I'd heard my calling again. I don't know how many readers I have. But let me have your ideas and time. Let's try infecting people around us with smiles again. Come! Smile together! *Smiles*
