tis the season

1. thank you to EVERYONE who contributed a post, you all have reminded me that we need to be  thankful for every moment...and have inspired me to write another entry.

2. winter break -- end of my third semester, only one more left! plus it gives me time to train for the half marathon, spend time with my relatives visiting from the Philippines...the possibilities are endless...

3. my sister Justine -- for listening to me piss and moan about things, and for making sense of everything when I can't see things clearly.

4. disappointments -- for allowing me to realize how much I value something, so much so it hurts, to lose it...but still, it gives me that hope that there's more to come. 

5. the season of giving -- as much as I hate shopping and waking up early for sales, I can't wait to see the look on the faces of my family and friends when I give them my presents.  

Soo although thanksgiving is over, the giving of thanks doesn't have to end there.  With the end of the year coming up, I'm sure you can come up with some additional posts to add.  Feel free to update the site with more blogs!  

thankful.

my five. thanks Julienne :)

1. i'm thankful for sidewalks and late night conversations. every important decision in my life has involved these two things.
2. i'm thankful for family. i really love them, even though i'm a biatch at times. and i'm thankful that they still love me, in spite of me being a biatch.
3. i'm thankful for the people in my life who have rewritten my definition of love.
4. i'm thankful for health insurance. because not having it anymore has made me acutely aware of my health, which in turn has forced me to make a hundred small changes that i would never have made otherwise. along this same vein, i'm thankful for a lot of the things that i don't have anymore, for making me appreciate what i have left.
5. above all, i am thankful for crappy moments, but i will rarely admit this when i'm in the midst of one. i'm thankful for the breakdowns and the times when i feel like screaming and the times when i am the least thankful, because these are the moments when i learn the most.

my top 5

happy to be thankful

1. my siblings. frena and jun. two people i love most in this world. words can't describe how important they are to me. just trying to think about it makes me cry.
2. my bestes friends. i don't know what i would do without them. glad they stick around even when i'm being funky, but they know what's up. they are closer to me than most of my family, so i'm thankful to have them in my life.
3. my dvr. it keeps me abreast on all my fave shows. especially in the winter when i have no real desire to leave my apartment when i don't have to.
4. jason segel. he gives me happy dreams. ;P hahaha what? he's one funny guy. how can you not love a 6'4" teddy bear? he's the new vince vaughn. jk
5. my career. i'm so blessed to have a career and i'm extremely thankful for that. even though it can get crazy sometimes, i still enjoy going to work everyday. i don't think i'll ever get tired of that so i'll be happy here as long as they'll keep me.

Ichi-ni-san-shi-go!!!!! My 5 things...

Thanks Jul-chan for starting this :)

5 things I am thankful for
1. My dad for helping me invest in my very own condo. He's taught me so many life lessons and really been a great friend to me, on top of being a great father.
2. My mom for really being there for me the past year as I adjusted to moving back home and went through some very tough times. We're going on a mother-daughter bonding trip to Maui in two weeks!
3. My friends for loving me as I am and making me laugh all the time - mostly at myself haha!
4. Being employed. I know many people have lost their jobs during this tough time so I have something to be thankful for.
5. New Hope - 11 am service on Sundays. So nice to incorporate God and spirituality into my life again.

Thanks for reading :)
