Thank yous (July 27, 2010)

Thank you because somehow, I felt that the friends I think I lost are trying to re-connect with me--in a weird, amusing way.

Thank you for not making me feel further mad towards a friend.

Thank you for letting me score free Salt premiere tickets and take two of my closest friends to a movie.


Thank you for the 30-minute re-writing stint that earned me P500 instantly.

Thank you for the gift of writing. Others may scoff at what we do but those people cannot even write a single, sensible paragraph. Bless them poor fellows.

Thank you for helping me stand up for myself.

Thank you giving my Papa a happy birthday last Sunday.

Thank you for the yummy seafood dampa.

Thank you for protecting me from harm. You know I'm very clumsy.

Thank you for not letting the sun shine too bright.

"Before you enjoy the sun, you must dance with the the rain."

With no second thought, I am definitely happy. It's worth the pain and hardship of the happiness I am feeling right now. I never thought I'll be able to feel this. God is really really good if you'll just believe in Him. Before, I wasn't sure of what life has to bring but now I welcome changes very positively. I see the world so lightly and that feeling makes me float in the air. Now, I love myself more and I appreciate everything in me. Thank you po, Lord! I'm doing things my way without the fear of darkness to come because I know there will always be a light to shine.

Thank yous in darkness

Thank you for the kind cab driver who dropped me off the office. His vehicle was nice, he didn't ask for an additional fare, and he knew where the shortest, most un-traffic prone routes are. I was in front of the office at exactly twenty minutes later.

Thank you for not cutting our water supply. You know that we can survive without electricity, but not without water.

Thank you because Basyang was not as harsh as Ondoy.

Thank you because our families are safe and sound.

Thank you for the cool breeze. I love it so much.

Thank you for the blackout. We may see this as a nuisance in our daily lives but we save one, two days of unconsumed electricity. Take that, Meralco.

Thank You for Surviving Another Nasty Typhoon

Thank you Lord that our family was not harmed during the onslaught of Typhoon Basyang last night. The strong winds during the wee hours was scary. Thank you that my nephew's fever is already gone. I was so worried about him.

Thank You for Assuring Us that We Can Always Pray

Thank You, Lord, for assuring us that we can always pray to You. Thank You for letting us know that You're just a prayer away. Our prayers may not always be answered the way we expect them to be just as how this day had gone by. We had prayed hard and asked others too but the answer we wanted didn't come as we expected them to.

None of our prayers were answered today but I thank You for reminding me that praying must be accompanied with waiting and understanding. I will try hard to remind myself that whatever comes our way should be dealt with understanding if we really want to know why certain things, either bad or good, happen to us. Lord, it is hard for me to understand a great deal of things but I know I can do it by staying positive and by believing in You.

Thank You for letting me speak with You. Thank You for our parents and our teachers who have taught us how to pray.

Thank yous for July 13, 2010

I'm thankful that all the members of my family are in good health especially Tatay. Tatay was hospitalized early this year due to hypertension which ultimately led to him file for early retirement from his job, I'm thankful na hindi na umabot na lumala yung sakit nya, I thank God for giving the sign to Tatay that he should slow down and take time to relax because he don't really need to work that hard anymore since all of his kids graduated na and has jobs. I'm thankful because it could have been worse but it did not happen. The timing was perfect.

The Gift of Friendship

How do we say thank you to a friend without making her feel that it's just another lame expression to show courtesy? I hate how "Thank You" has become so overrated that I don't feel it's appropriate enough to tell a friend that you are grateful for having them in your life.

Because my friends deserve a better word than that. Something unique, something no one has ever heard of.

Something special.

Because that is what they are to me.

I love you, guys! Kudos to the Man Up There for He let our paths crossed once and since then, we never let go.
