Things I'm Thankful For

To start off the week with a wonderful, beautiful morning. I've decided to make a list of things I am thankful for to remind myself of all the blessings God has given me. So, here it is


1.) I am thankful for my parents, even though they can be a little bit nosy and annoying at times, I am thankful for their presence, for their love and care. Sometimes I wish I can be a better daughter for them. =)


2.) I am thankful for my family. They are not the perfect family (like the camden's), but they are MY family and forever will be. =)


3.) I am thankful for my cozy bed. Where I dream about all the possibilities of life.

4.) I am thankful for lazy sundays.

5.) I am thankful for good food.


6.) I am thankful for cameras and videocameras. They allow us to record and capture moments. (Very important for people like me who tends to have slight alzheimers).


7.) I am thankful for chickens (fried, grilled or roasted), shrimps and crabs.


8.) I am thankful for plants, trees and nature.

9.) I am thankful for computers (allows blogging possible).

10.) I am thankful for good friends.

25 New Things

I just turned 24 last week!!! I am now a 24-year old (supposed to be grown up) young lady (yes... young!) !!! Nothing really special about my birthday this year except that it was proclaimed a special non-working holiday (this year only) because of former president aquino's death. Talk about some luck! The whole nation is mourning while I celebrate my birthday! haha

Anyway, this year is actually my one birthday in 6 years that I feel good I'm turning a year older. Somehow after 18, birthdays aren't that much fun because of the pressure of having to act like an adult and/or because of the tendencies to becoming restless... So this year, since I have pledged to cut away all the negativity and to start to be more enthusiastic about life... I have decided to make myself a list of 25 things to do that I haven't done (things that I am either too scared to try or simply too lazy to do)! My list of 25 things must be accomplished on or before my 25th birthday! So... I have exactly one year to do them! Enough time I guess. So here's my list of to-do;

1.) Buy myself a Labrador Retriever/ Golden Retriever (on my 25th birthday).

2.) Complete a 26 things photo scavenger hunt. (I got this from Yes and Yes! - one of my favorite blogs!).

3.) Take Dancing Class

4.) Try Snorkeling

5.) Send an Annonymous Message (Got the idea also from yes and yes, from her list of 30 things to do)

6.) Finish reading atleast 2 books from my 'list of books to read'.

7.) Watch Sunrise or Sunset on the beach.

8.) Donate Blood

9.) Check out a Local Comedy Bar

10.) Send out a Balloon with Petty Cash

11.) Go to a Beach!! (can you believe it? never been into one)

12.) Learn how to Cook! Atleast three main dishes!

13.) Watch Wedding Singer movie.

Ok... I guess 25 things is quite a lot... don't have any ideas right now... maybe I can get some more ideas from other people...

List still to be updated... hehe

God wants you to know...

Got this from facebook.

It made so much sense to me that I just had to post it and share it with everyone.


God wants you to Know...

…that HAPPINESS has nothing to do with PLEASURE.


You feel pleasure when you want something and you get it.

Or when you don't want something and you remove it.

Pleasure is always RELATIVE.

Happiness is ABSOLUTE.

Happiness is the UNDERSTANDING and ACCEPTANCE of life as it is in this very moment as completely perfect, because every creation of God is perfect.

The degree to which you DO NOT ACCEPT life in all of the Divine forms is the degree to which you SUFFER.
