Sun: "Good morning my dear. Time to get up and remove that morning glory in your eyes!"
This was how my day started. I was greeted and embraced by the warmth of the sun.
I suddenly remembered a conversation I had with a friend. During one of our "tambays", we discussed about the law of attraction. No, not about the X and the Y attraction (but we did tackle that too!) but more on inviting what we want to have in life . ...that we should think and believe accordingly so that the things we want and the dreams we have would actually happen.
So everyday I would try to put things here which I am thankful for. This is also my way of showing my appreciation to the man above. For the non-believers, consider this as a means to see the beauty of simple or even big things around us.

1. The birds and their chirping which is music to one's ears.
| Mrs. Birdie visiting his nest. |
2. The nice weather. It was really sunny this morning but Mr. Sun seems to be resting at this very moment. It looks like he made an agreement with the rain to take over his place momentarily. We'll find out later if the contract was perfected. Nakz!
3. FRIDAYS!!!!
I love Fridays because it means the days after it are Saturday and Sunday. Although, nowadays I've been busy even during the weekends. It is usually during Friday nights that I get to meet my friends and it is also the same day that my folks arrive from the province. March 5, 2011 (Saturday)
4. Longer sleeping hours than the usual!!! Slept late, woke up late. Oh, the simple luxuries in life!
5. pedicures!!!need I say more?
5. pedicures!!!need I say more?
6. grocery shopping! Others find going to the groceries burdensome, but I get thrilled whenever it's time to do so! Especially when I'm not the one paying for it! hehehe March 6, 2011 (Sunday)

These are just some of the things I use almost everyday. |
8. hair clamps! they make lives easier for "girls" (at least in my case!),especially during those days when I don't feel like exerting any effort and spending extra hours just to style my hair (as if I do!haha)9. food "taste-alikes". cheaper versions of those yumyums that can make us say nom...nom...nom...nom...
March 7, 2011 (Monday)
10. the feeling after taking a shower!
12. Receiving an sms from somebody whom you haven't talked to for a while.
13. Finally knowing the title of a song and its appropriate lyrics the lines of which you just previously substituted with "watermelon" .

10. the feeling after taking a shower! Anyone fairly acquainted with me knows that it takes me at least 30 minutes to take a shower. So if you wish to make any appointment with me, I strongly suggest that you inform me way ahead of time. Believe me, you'd rather not wait.herk..herk...
11. that feeling immediately after you've just finished an exam(results not considered though).

16. Early morning bonding with the dog. Woke up late and went outside the house to catch some fresh air. Ulysses wanted to play so we did. I went inside the house and he just sat on the floor while I was busy reading and doing various stuff over the net.
17. Yemas! I'm not fond of sweet foods but I love yema. Probably because of childhood memories it entail. March 11, 2011 (Friday)
18. Pasalubongs! I love pasalubongs whether it be food, memorabilias, clothes, books, etc. It's a simple way of showing that you remember a person during your trip.
19. Breadtalk! Taste it so you'll find out why! Can't get enough of their firefloss! Though I only have cheesefloss in this batch! March 12, 2011 (Saturday)
20. Being safe. The heartbreaking news of the earthquake and tsunami that occurred in Japan came as a shock to everybody.
The aftermath of said disaster was so devastating that one can't help but think that we are more than lucky not to be in that place in that particular time. You would suddenly realize that whatever problems you might have at the moment are so trivial compared to those victims in Japan who may have lost their livelihoods, shelters and even sadly for some their own lives or that of a loved one.
21. Massages! A friend treated me to a full hour massage in Tan Ton. It was so-so but it's still massage so I don't have the right to complain since as I've said it was for free. Afterwards, we went to another friend's condo to watch a Thai feel-good movie. Bonding moments with friends are always special!
March 13, 2011 (Sunday)
22. Blessings in disguise! There are things which eventually end up better than that which you may have originally wanted it to be.
23. Finally learning how to deal with and accept mistakes, forgiving one's self and moving forward. This is a big feat especially for a perfect melancholy!
March 14, 2011 (Monday)
24. Getting up and breakfast is already ready. No hassle of thinking what to cook anymore or where to get the first meal of the day . A perennial problem of boarders or just about anybody living alone I suppose.
March 15, 2011 (Tuesday)
25. Good old homecooked meals! March 16, 2011 (Wednesday)
26. Holidays! Today is Araw ng Dabaw and it means no work and school...for some. I had a battle with MCQ this morning and I have yet to know the results at the end of the month. Crossing my fingers that it I won in such battle. Despite the same it was still a good day. Notwithstanding the fact that I was only able to go home at almost 2AM, slept at almost 3AM and had to wake up before 8AM.herk..herk...
27. Yoghurts!I love this coagulated dairy product! It was my first time to try the Tutti Frutti's version at Gmall Davao.
This is my least favorite of all the malls in the city but since Dude hailed a wrong jeepney, we had no choice but go to the nearest mall near AdDU to have our lunch. Then, we decided to have yoghurt afor dessert. The one on the white container is mine. Overloaded with almond slices.hehehe. Tip: Try their strawberry yoghurt and also the chocolate one.
28. Carnivals!
Finally, somebody was silly enough to fall into my sometimes-out-of-this-world and outlandish propensities. We went to one near the NCCC mall in Ma-a, Davao City.
Are you the daredevil? Ride their roller coaster! It takes guts to take this particular ride. The scare is not brought about by the height nor by the loops but because of the fact that the parts are so ancient that while riding the same you will have this thought running over and over inside your head- "Shoot, will these old parts ever hold?" We survived the ride with bruises and bumps afterwards and I mean that literally!
We haven't had enough though. We then proceeded to the bump cars station and drove like wackos to our hearts' delight.
Ah, don't you just love the simple thrills in life?

29. fried danggit!
Yeah, bulad/tuyo are smelly but it tastes so good. A friend brought me one for pasalubong, so thanks bunch kirikai!
30. Receiving good news! The 2010 Bar Examination results came out today. I was elated when the three persons that I wanted to pass made it and one of them even landed as rank 4! So inspiring!
March 18, 2011 (Friday)
31. Receiving an apology from someone who have hurt you.
It takes courage for a person to swallow his pride,recognize his mistakes, admit the same and eventually ask for forgiveness.
It may not be easy to forget all the pain caused by someone whom you have trusted once ,but if you can see the effort knowing that such person is not the type who would own up to his wrongdoings, then one might consider to soften his/her heart too. In due time...all wounds are bound to heal.
March 19, 2011 (Saturday)
32. Finally finding out the truth about something which have greatly affected your life.
Was there ever a point in your life that you felt so sure and knew about something but the person/s involved tried to denied the same over and over again? And that person is someone whom you consider as one of the most important persons in your life . You then find out he/she was lying to you the entire time?
Have you ever been betrayed? That is one of the worst things that can happen to a person. If you are weak, it will really shatter you.
The man above really does love me because He has broken the bondage of lies concocted by someone whom I once trusted. It's just so sad that some people have to resort to lies for their own protection. Selfish people are unhappy people and it's so unfortunate that my own weakness of having a savior complex was used against me.
However, finding out the truth is absolutely better than being shitted on repeatedly. It may hurt initially but as the adage goes "What does not kill you will only make you stronger".
It may have been delayed but I am still thankful because now I can finally say Veritas Vos Liberabit!
March 20, 2011 (Sunday)
33. Waking up everyday hearing my 8-year old nephew singing in the bathroom. Even better, he's gifted with a good voice. Modesty aside, I guess it does run in the family!hahaha
March 21, 2011 (Monday)
34. Finishing a book and feeling good after.
I always have mixed feelings everytime I'm almost near the end of a book I'm reading. I get excited wondering if the ending will be the same as the one I've formulated in my mind yet I also feel sad because it means my "current adventure" is over.
However, there are certain books that I did not get to finish reading because I got bored. That no matter how I want to finish reading it, I just end up getting a headache instead.
Everyone who loves to read could relate to this. Hence, we should be thankful for good reads. We should be thankful for authors and writers who "bleed their brains out" trying to make as a part of their own adventures.Salute to you all!
35. Responsible and good-hearted nephews.
I am thankful because we may not be blessed with plenty of moolah but we are surrounded by love...the authentic ones. Everytime I feel down, there are these two angels who give me pure happiness.
March 22, 2011 (Tuesday)
36. People who are willing to lend a hand to those in need.
Okay, so we are out of house-help once again. Hence, I'm in-charged of taking care of the bugoys during the day. However, I also have some things I need to attend to, which means nobody will be watching over the kids during those times. Good thing that my brother and sister-in-law's close friend is willing to stay with the kids even for just a few hours.
37. Friends who are willing to lend an ear.
Not once have I mentioned that if there is one thing I am really blessed with, it is that I am gifted with good friends.
Everyone at one point in their lives has committed a mistake, myself included. Admittedly, my stubborness has led me to more than one wrong decision.
I used to keep everything to myself. However, I came to realize that there are certain things which cannot be kept and which can be made easier with the help of friends.
Despite my mistakes, these friends have never left me. Their love and understanding never wavered. They have proven that they are there through thick and thin.
In my several years of existence, I have also learned that there are also some people who pretend to be your friend but who'll just leave you when you're down. Worst, these people expect you to be there for them at their beck and calling. So sad that they want you to be there for them, use you, sometimes lie to you when in truth and in fact, these people do not even know the meaning of the word friendship in the first place.
If you have someone like the latter in your life, do not allow yourself to be abused. Be thankful when you see their true colors. If they do not see your worth and they do not value you, then do not regret if they'll leave you. Remember, that it is never your lost.
March 23, 2011 (Wednesday)
38. Feeling better.....physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
For several days now, I've been bothered by certain things which made me question life in general (again).
My state of mind was so far from being okay that it even affected my health. However, it hasn't been a week yet, but I know and I can finally declare that I've never been better.
My faith became stronger. This is one of those days that the man above has made me feel that He loves me so much. He gave me the freedom that I've been seeking for more than a decade.
It is really true, His plans may be different from ours but we must always believe that His ways are the best. All that is required is for us to recognize and acknowledge that there is a supreme being higher than us who is the architect of everything ....even those which we may not be able to grasp and understand at the moment...or ever.
March 24, 2011 (Thursday)
39. The Rain.
I've always had a love-hate relationship with the rain.
I love it because it's so conducive for sleeping which is good when you have nothing else to do but is also disadvantageous when you are in a rush. I also dislike the part where your shoes and feet get wet.
The rain had been a witness to so many things that have had occurred in my life. Coincidental it may seem, but it usually rains when I'm gloomy and down. It is as if the heaven does the crying for me. I get consoled by the idea that I am made to feel that I am not alone during these times of trials.
March 25, 2011 (Friday)
40. Take-outs and leftovers!
As I've said, "alone time" is getting more often than usual. Sometimes it's such a hassle to cook if you know you're just going to eat solo. I'm so glad that when I opened the fridge, I found some leftover foods brought by my bro last night.
So I had paella negra and some sauteed veggies for breakfast. Yebah!
March 26, 2011 (Saturday)
41. Crabs for lunch!!!
I know some people who do not like eating crabs not because they don't fancy the taste but for the reason that they do not like the nitty gritty part of eating one. I'm not really a very patient person in general but for crabs I could spend hours sitting and eating away.
So thank God for crabs!nom...nom...nom...
March 27, 2011 (Sunday)
42. Itunes Radio!
Sometimes it gets tiring listening to the same songs over and over again.
I've been ignoring all the other icons in itunes until today. So far I'm loving the acoustic alternative station!
March 28, 2011 (Monday)
43. Summer!
No requirement of waking up early. No classes and exams to worry about (momentarily). Vacation fun! fun! fun!
March 29, 2011 (Tuesday)
44. Not giving any damn anymore to things which used to affect me very much before.
45. Realizing that I am a tough woman after all!
46. Chick flicks! Oh you don't wanna know what movie I just watched at the cinema a while ago. Well, it made me happy so keber!hehehe
March 30, 2011 (Wednesday)
47. Watching Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader with my 8-year old nephew and him getting the right answers. Plus it was the episode where the show had its very first millionaire!
March 31, 2011 (Thursday)
48. Sleeping early and waking up at dawn realizing I have no deadlines for the day to worry about.
April 1, 2011 (Friday)
49. Hearing good news like one of your closest friends in HS getting married!
April 2, 2011 (Saturday)
50. Getting back things that had been stolen which I had no idea were already taken away from me.
I've always been a victim of this. More than one househelp have done this to me...to us. Are we too trusting that we tend to get abused or is temptation too much for them that they cannot help themselves and they take things which are not theirs in the first place?
It is not the item/s taken and losing such which makes me mad, it is the fact that one has committed an act of betrayal. Material things can be bought again, but trust once broken can never be regained.
I do wish that we can find somebody who would learn to love her job and not do this to us. There had been loyal ones and they know that they are no different from us. We treat them like family. I just really hope that the next person we let in our home would be the right one. I really pray for this.
April 3, 2011 (Sunday)
51. Dalag for lunch!
I know I'm talking about food again, but I do love to it (I think that's quite obvious already)!
Fried dalag and pesa are the best! It's one of the food I miss in Cotabato. hmmmm...which gives me idea. Next time I'll try to showcase foods that makes the city still special to me even if I'm already here in Davao.
April 4, 2011 (Monday)
52. Finishing all the goals on the online game I'm playing.
I suppose that only those who play online games can relate to this.
Still, the idea of achieving something (especially if way ahead of everybody else) really makes one feel good. Well, I guess it's quite obvious that I could say that in my case.hehe
April 5, 2011 (Tuesday)
53. Bonding with Da Bugoys!
My cousins were supposed to look over my nephews since I had to go somewhere (which was postponed).
It is during family occasions that we are able get together for long periods of hours. It was a good thing that they went to the house today and played with the kids. It was a fun day! Next time, bonding with the girl cousins!

54. I am able to eat regularly. I was able to go to school without having to worry too much as to where I'll get the funds to pay for my tuition fees.
I failed to realize before that some people had to resort to borrowing money just to be able to take the examinations. Some even had to let go of having their parents attend their graduation because it would just be an added expense for them. Lord, thank you for showing me how fortunate I am. I may not be rich financially but I am still very,very blessed. I cannot thank you enough.
April 7, 2011 (Thursday)
55. Having the opportunity to travel and be exposed to new things.
This has been a two-year long overdue trip. Something was really pushing me to go to this time, by hook or by crook. Several things came up which could have stopped me from pushing through with it by I disregarded all of it, I really needed this. I'm so glad I did. It was a time for reflection and knowing one's self which fortunately I did achieve. I can say nothing more but thank you J.
April 8, 2011 (Friday)
56. Seeing and taking part in different kinds of prayers.
Praying is very special to me. It is the time wherein I could freely speak my heart without any hesitations. Having the chance to do it through chanting and silence was such a precious gift. And yes, silence in every aspect of the word was so uplifting to the soul, my soul.
57. Realizing my worth, releasing from my system what has been troubling me for the past 10 years and becoming aware that forgiveness is possible and is a choice.
I am an extreme person. When I love, I give my all. When I get hurt, I pain deeply. I have been betrayed and I thought I could never forgive, but the man above never gave up on me. He made me realize that grudges would only bring me down. Hence, I've made the decision that I would learn to forgive and pray for whoever who have wronged me. I am in the process of healing and I could only attain inner peace when I learn to let go. Now, I know that the same is possible. With God's grace that would happen. I just need to have faith.

58. ZIP LINES!!!
I love the feeling of being up in the air. I love mountains and other high places. The invention of zip lines made my dream of "flying" possible.
Others fear it, I love it! On this day I was able to do it on Zip Zone at Dahilayan, Bukidnon, the longest one in the Philippines or Asia (?) so far. This is the 3rd place that I've been able to do zip line. The first one was in Kapatagan in Davao Del Sur and the 2nd one in Bohol. I still consider the one in Kapatagan as the best primarily because of the view and the services therein.
April 10, 2011 (Sunday)
59. Breakfast with the Monks
We went back to the Monastery of the Transfiguration to attend the mass and then take part of the brunch with the Monks.
The food was great and we were able to converse and have our photos taken with some of the monks there. It was really a very wonderful experience.

I woke up very late and I had nothing to worry about because my brother and sister-in-law were at home so they did all the household chores today.
Ah, such a relaxing day.

62. Crazy bonding with the bubuwits.
Since I'm the designated yaya of the bubuwits (my nephews), we think of ways to pass the time. Whenever we get tired of watching tv, playing wii, searching stuff over the internet, we invent games. So far, we're doing the strike a pose crazy and wacky version. I don't know how this one will end but we're enjoying it and that's what matters!

April 30, 2011 (Saturday)
79. Dudol.
When I was in elementary, this was sold at P1.00 I think. My kuyas told me that it was sold at 25 cents during their time. Dudol is Maguindanaon food that tastes and looks like kalamayhati but honestly I really think it tastes waaaay better!
During our younger years, the vendor scoops out a cup from her pail (yep, you've read that right) and puts it at a banana leaf. Now, my mom was able to order it at a cooperative at Cotabato City and it looks like this:

When I was in elementary, this was sold at P1.00 I think. My kuyas told me that it was sold at 25 cents during their time. Dudol is Maguindanaon food that tastes and looks like kalamayhati but honestly I really think it tastes waaaay better!
During our younger years, the vendor scoops out a cup from her pail (yep, you've read that right) and puts it at a banana leaf. Now, my mom was able to order it at a cooperative at Cotabato City and it looks like this:

119. Forgetting what day it is.
Have you ever experienced not having a sense of time and yet when you realize what day it is you feel glad that have forgotten the date because something on that particular date happened way back which you do not wish to remember? I guess, time really does its trick when you least expect it.

The yearly get together of the gehls. Everybody's schedule was so hectic this year that we decided to just spend it within the Island Garden City of Samal. It was not only a practical decision but it was a wise one because the place wherein we decided to stay was apt for the said occasion.
I realized so many things on those two days and I can really say this time that I can really claim that in our 11 years of friendship, each of us have gone through a lot and have surpassed the trials that came our way with flying colors.

Rest assured that I will still continue with my "daily gratitude" albeit done privately. I hope you do the same. Thank you and till we meet again.
