what makes me tick?

*what am i passionate about? was asked this question last week during vcf and my lack of a ready answer kinda got me thinking..

i could try to be really funny and answer..
irritating the pants off my brother

i could try to be serious and answer
punctuality. serious..i've blogged about it before

i could try to be faintly philisophical and answer
learning abt the minute details that makes life what it is

i could try to be really safe but boring and answer
geography. but i know it isnt true and esp knowing what a geog fanatic is like

i could try and be all-christianly and answer
God and serving others. but if feels like im not really telling the truth

and so i just came up with a lame answer abt making people happy
but im not really satisfied with that
its true but yet not quite [i hardly go all out to make people happy]

*random bit of rambling on*
i feel a little inept that there isnt something im passionate about. as in i dun love anything enough to petition for it, to talk endlessly abt it, to basically live and breathe it. 'passion' has been marketed as something you should have to make you a better/happier person because of all the "feeling-feeling" involved. and besides that, when you get to know that someone is hopelessly passionate abt something, doesnt your mind go "wow..thats so cool" at least that happens to me..

there are many things i enjoy and love [good blogpost topic] but i dont think anything qualifies as a 'passion'. but heck, im still a happy person:) much as i would really like to "boast" abt an ardent love for something, i know that it doesnt make me any less than anyone else. its a non-essential but nice-to-have?

as for that question. i still dun have a good answer to give but at least i have more or less made peace about. thats what that matters isnt it?
