Give thanks to the LORD because he is good, because his mercy endures forever.
- Psalms 107:1

Today is a special day of Thanksgiving to the Lord for all His love to me the whole year through. Though I don’t deserve it because of all my shortcomings in performing my duties and my stubbornness, He never ceased to bless me. I can never pay Him for all His goodness to me, my family, and everyone I care about. All I can do is thank Him for all His blessings.

This year, I thank the Lord for giving me my masters degree, for keeping my family intact, supportive and loving, for giving me friends who care for me dearly, for keeping me strong physically, mentally and spiritually, for making me wiser, for getting me through all the challenges, for still allowing me to perform my duties to Him, for this life He continues to lend me, and many many more!

Thank you, my God!

Seconds ago, I received a “FREE HOROSCOPE” from my cellular service provider which says, “There will be an improvement in your lovelife this coming holidays. Enjoy this great gift.”
LOL. Just how can something non-existent improve?

Why do many people refer to Friendster as “FS”? Lately I’ve been noticing this and it’s bothering me! I mean, really, how come? What does FS mean? I thought it’s “Friendster Site” but something tells me it’s not. It must be “Friendster S-something” (whatever!), otherwise, what would it be? I would understand if they refer to it as “FP” for “Friendster Profile” because you know, isn’t Friendster just a network of personal profiles? But why FS? It really buggles me.

I sure hope it’s not as dumb as “Friend-Ster”!

Last Sunday, November 30, I celebrated my 25th birthday. I know, I’m getting old but I feel more blessed as my years accumulate. And so on that day, I gave all my thanks to Him. I thanked God for blessing me with a very supportive and loving family, great friends, a good job, a heart full of love and hope without regrets and happily performing duties to Him and serving Him, for challenges that make me strong, for keeping my faith, for my life’s twists and turns that I never dreamed would ever happen….for EVERYTHING!

After church, my choir buddies and I had a hearty breakfast of barbecue and tinolang fish and shared stories and planned for our outing later in the day. It was also Nhery’s (seniors choir leader and close friend) birthday the day before so it’s just time for us to celebrate. Besides, there aren’t many chances for us to bond coz we’re all busy with work after choir practices and duties.

So at noon we met at Gaisano Metro before going off to Lapulapu City for our beach outing. The agreement was that we bring friends we want to bring as well as cash. I invited great friend Vicky, and they invited their friends. We didn’t hassle ourselves with preparing and bringing food. We bought all the food and stuffs we need on the way to Ocean Pearl, where we rented a room instead of a cottage so that we don’t need to watch our things in case we all want to soak in the sea, we could just lock the room. I had a lot of fun; everyone had a lot of fun bonding, chicka-ing, eating, singing the videoke, eating again…it was great! We went home at 9pm. By then all my energy was spent, I was dozing off at the jeepney (we had to take 3 rides going home), glad I still made it home. Though tired, I went to sleep with a happy heart and thanked God for the great day.
