I AM THANKFUL
* for dearest friends Adrian and Chelo who started the spirit of Christmas alive for our family. We all flipped over to find your present in our mail box. We love it and I wish London was a bus ride away…they brought HAPPY to our Christmas.
* for Roland’s 4?’nd birthday. Finally perfecting the pochero ala Linda was the best dinner we ever had. No gift giving, only comfort food and dreams and wishes and stories shared around the dinner table. It is our new definition of ‘BLISS’.
* for good marks on Basti’s year end report. He told me one morning, ‘Mom, I hope you can come to our school? I am singing a song. NZ’s got talent will be there. Told him I won’t be able to make it (i know, i am a useless parent a lot of times) but I will send my personal angel Gabriel to be with him that day. He came home and told me he did a mime instead of a song and that my angel brought home his report card. It says he has a spelling age of a 13.5 year old (yet he just turned 10).
* for a new project at work that is keeping me busy. Now I don’t have to do idiotic ways to preoccupy myself and look busy.
* for a talented and expectant friend Liza who has finally created her own photo blog. http://monkeyseye.blogspot.com/ . Visit her site and comment. She would love that. She has an equally talented cousin who dreams of unicorns. <hint hint>
* for a chance to dance the Sinulog next year. I have signed up to join the Liturgical Dance to open the 9 days novena. I will do my best to please Him up there.
* for Christmas parties that allow me to meet new friends. Lechon, line dancing, new friends, must go. And meeting May and Lester (friends of Deebangs). must Multiply.
* for finally taking the wheel. Roland’s driver’s license expired yesterday and he has yet to get NZ license. Meanwhile, I drive. He navigates. New adventures. Bag-ong lalis. =)
* for internet connection that is back to speed. Gods of Telecom. Thank you.
* for lazy Saturdays that allow me to catch up on blog updates. Yehey.
Wishing you all the Merriest of Christmas and a New Year filled with Hopes and Dreams fulfilled and Adventures to conquer. Thank you for the gift of friendship.
oh chi!!! thanks for saying that you just said=) *hugs*

hi chi! i am very moved that i made it to the list of things/people you are thankful for. i am also thankful for finding you again online (through multiply)–it’s like this totally different friendship nga brand new (although it’s not), hehe. It’s probably your first Christmas away from Cebu and I am happy that you are enjoying it so far! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

hi mai. nz is synonymous to you. ingon ko, hatagi ko sign that this is for me and ikaw iyang gipadala. 1 year na. and 1 year na pud ko blessed sa imong friendship. dili lang ko usahay mo comment sa imong blog kay ma speechless ko pero know that you are an inspiration and you do it so unassuming lang kay gwapa pa, maayo pa gyud mo suwat, maayo pa gyud mo take ug pictures pero down to earth ra gyud.
hi kaith. how time flies. dili ko ka tuo 1 year naman diay sa? this year went by so fast for us. a lot of things happened for me, murag fast forward kaayo but i am happy that you are also moving along with me. the supergirls are also cruising fast. ikaw naa na kay andi. si chin naa nay charlie. it is a happy year with so many of us sharing a lot of happy moments. maayo unta ug si mimi mo anhi na pud diri para alegre na pud mi. sige ra mi laway ni normita ninyo nga sige mo katawa ug kaon kaon dinha.

hi chi! ka-small world gyud noh? i just talked to liza today and she told me how you successfully convinced her to put her beautiful photos on a blog. gamhanan gyud ka, chi, coz she said she doesn’t like to write, although for the life of me i don’t understand why, seeing as she writes so well. i am so happy nga “kaila” na ta karon. i’ll link you ha, if you don’t mind.

Happy Christmas my dearest chichiroo.. I am Paking’s favorite especially when it comes to the gift of friendship. I thank Him constantly for you. Even J feels like he knows you na kay your name pop-ups on our conversations hehehehe.
Miss you !
