Happy Tips 10

After reading "The Happiness Project" by Gretchen Rubin, I tried to practice some of her lessons shared in the book. The most important quotation that I remember is "Do good, feel good." Indeed if you feel good, you feel happy. To help me remember the lessons in the book, I internalize them and rewrote them in my own words and interpretation as I practice them in everyday life as "Happy Tips.". I am using the bitstrips as my medium for sharing these happy tips. Eric and Andy, the dynamic duo are the stars of these "Happy Tips" series. Adding humor in the bitstrips, I hope you can easily remember the first TEN happy tips. Practice these ten tips and you will feel happy everyday.

Comics with Bitstrips

I love to create comics. But I have no talent in drawing comic characters. Comics drawing is really a talent that some people possess like my Nagoya U colleague, Jerry V. or even my son who can easily draw his favorite lego characters. I drew comics when I was a kid but they were not that good. I like comics which are simple and neat like Snoopy, Dilbert and Piled Higher and Deeper (PHD). I also like Baltic and Co. and Pugad Baboy. The key to comics making is not only how nice the drawings are but the intelligent humor presented.

So when Eric, a colleague at UP, introduced me to Bitstrips in Facebook, I got excited. Eric posted several Bistrips comics of himself and I got intrigued. So I tried Bitstrips. First, you decide on your avatar - choose the shape of the face, eyes, nose, ears and hair. And then you choose the body and the attire. With a few clicks, wholla! You have a character of yourself. You are now ready to create Bitsrips comics. Finally, I found a venue for creating comics even if I don't know how to draw. After several trials, the Eric & Andy (The Dynamic Duo) Bitstrips was born. Comics making is fun. It is a venue to share your ideas and humor. When you have fun, You feel happy. And when you feel happy, your friends will also feel happy. This is a lesson I learned from Gretchen Rubin, author of "The Happiness Project." She also wrote " Do good, feel good. Feel good, do good." Enjoy the slide show of the Bitstrips introducing Eric & Andy. Smile!
