because i want to celebrate thanksgiving, anyway.

what are you thankful for? i know it's not celebrated here, but i just really want to celebrate it. i may be too tired, but then there are always things to be thankful for. here are a random list of things and people whom i am so thankful for! :-)

------------------------------------------

to the bright eyed one: im sure you have no clue, but thank you for giving me reason to smile and be inspired these past few weeks. that feeling was enough in itself. worth all the jeers and all the humiliation. even worth the forever waiting. i found myself singing along to the radio again. and being excited to wake up in the morning. and just allowing myself to be foolish and silly and excited about someone. its been a while.

to my new blockmates: thank you for being so welcoming! isang sem pa lang, but ive had a blast. i know i dont know everyone that well, but im so excited to get to know you better. thank you for being so nice.

to my old blockmates: thank you for still loving me! i missed you guys so much. im so proud of how youve all grown up! ill be cartwheeling at your graduation...assuming they let me in. hehehe.

to katha and carrie: thank you for celebrating "thanksgiving" with me. sulit hahaha. chismis over yummy food. loved it. the laughter gave me kabag hahaha.

to the chungkua federation aka grasshopper, precious pearl, black ninja, dagger look, and flower pot: thank you for staying the same. its been a blast hanging out with you again. parang walang time na nag-pass (except when you talk about OLA hehehe).

to izzy: thank you for always being hopeful. yesterday, when you told us the story from the book, and you cried, i felt deeply touched that you shared those feelings with us. we always make fun of you, but really, yours is the kind of optimism that this world needs.

to len: thank you for being girly with me always. and randomly domestic. and for not laughing out loud when i told you my "mababaw na kakiligan". like i said...its been a while. ang cute niyo ni omar. i can only hope umabot ako sa ganung level of coupledom in my lifetime hahaha.

to mel: thank you for always being so open and welcoming. when im with you i feel like i can be the most real. thank you for having no judgments, for being incredibly "foodie" with me, for being excited about everything.

to tessa: thank you for being the voice of reason. kahit na nakakatawa ka pa rin. miss na kita!

to sanne: thank you for always being interested in what i have to say, for being excited about my (nonexistent) lovelife, and for sharing with me yours. loved all the talks.

-------------

to kippy: thank you for always listening to the stupid stories and for being hopeful anyway. thanks for inviting me to have hot chocolate with you at night. its been a real treat.

to ate dey: thank you for giving me a home to go to when i feel alone. thank you for all the advice, for all the food, for the warm fuzzy feeling i get when i hang out with your kids. you are a true sister to me.

to zara: thank you for being my partner in crime! i love how you found someone to be excited about. i only hope great and wonderful things for you. and that you find happiness wherever you decide to stay.

to kris: thanks for always remembering me sweetie! im so happy you found someone to make you happy. you deserve it.

to joey and ieli: it's like no time has passed. thank you for indulging in old girliness, for opening your hearts to me still. the world is our playground. i know it!
