I saw on a billboard in
edsa that today is National Thank You Day... wow! We really have that?! Anyway, yes, I am bitter,
angsty, and sometimes, cynical... but I know that I still have a lot to be thankful for (so this is gonna be a bit long (and emotional)... i think :P):
First of all, my family. I feel so blessed to have them. My parents are my greatest role models in life. I believe that if I can be at least half the persons they are, I can consider myself fulfilled. Life hasn't always been good to us. I know all the hardships they endured and all the obstacles they overcame to get where they are now. They did their best to give us the best. And I will forever be thankful for that. My sisters, though we sometimes (ahem!) get into disagreements, are my motivation. They inspire me to aim for higher goals. They help me keep my sanity :P. And for them, my family, I'll do anything and everything. I love you! (and I 'll never tire of saying and showing it :P)
My relatives, especially
Lolo Absalon, Lola Aida,
Lolo Erning, and my
titos and
titas who took care of me and my sisters. Thank you for all the love and concern. Thanks for all the little things that mean a lot to us.
My friends.
Thadde,
GL8,
officemates (in all the companies). :P
Thadde, thanks for making my high school life meaningful and fun. Though I lost contact during the middle and latter part of college (which I'll always regret), thanks for still remembering and accepting me :P. I may not be as close to some as I want to be, but I'm still grateful for all the memories we had and will be having :P.
GL8 (and others not yet included in
GL8
yahoogroups hehe... seems we need to add
mems :P), thanks for being my lifeline in college... and for still keeping the bond alive until now. To my
officemates, thanks for making the workplace as fun as it can be... (yes, I know I tend to be a workaholic... :P so thanks for always reminding me to stop when I really need to...) I've learned a lot from all of you. To all my friends, you showed me the meaning of true er.. friendship :P I will always treasure all of our memories and hopefully, we can keep on making new ones :). (Gimik! Gimik! Gimik!!! :D bilis, habang "free" pa ako heheheh) I cannot ask for better friends than you... you guys are the best friends anyone could ask for!!! :D
And of course, to the Big Man up there. Thanks for giving me my family, my friends, my career (
ehehe... would it be wrong if I ask for something better? :P... just in case), and good health (yes, contrary to what my former
officemates -- yes, you know who you are -- think, I'm in perfectly good condition... with the exception of
occasional migraine attacks and cramps :P). And thanks for always looking after my loved ones and keeping them safe. :D I couldn't ask for more... but actually there's just one more thing... :P (if you know me well enough, you know what it is :P)
