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.
