If there’s one thing that’s true about Filipinos, it’s that they love looking for different ways to be happy. It’s in our nature—we always like to feel good vibes, and it’s even better when we can get them without spending too much. It’s the good little things in life that matter most.

If you’re searching for different ways to get some joy in your life that don’t cost too much, how about trying these fun ideas:

* Pasyal somewhere close by

It’s easy to think that travel requires a lot of money to pull off, but a lot of times, the best places to visit are simply within our reach. Go to your nearest park or open space with your family or friends and enjoy some leisure time safely and responsibly—chances are you won’t have to spend much and you’ll end up feeling refreshed, too.

* Have some fun online

Not feeling like going out? That’s fine, you can have some fun online in the comfort of your home, too. Go on the internet and stream your favorite TV shows, movies, or videos, or get your adrenaline up by playing your favorite mobile or online games—you can even play with your friends! That’s definitely affordable entertainment!
