a text msg from my sis...

Posted

Got a forwarded text message from my sister, Jasmin, this morning and it says:

"Sad animal facts:

  1. ants never sleep ,
  2. pigs can't raise their heads to look at the sky , and
  3. butterflies only live for 7 days...
See, you have 3 more reasons to be thankful for today! Being something always has its ups & downs. Just remember, while you're complaining about your situation, someone could be wishing s/he were in your place...."

Yes, I guess this is something that would benefit us all to remember.. Just thought of sharing it with you guys..
So... let's all (start) counting our blessings.. what are the blessings you received today?:)

Thank God for blogthings, at least it gives me something to post once in a while.... even if I sometimes don't agree with the results...;) ehehe...

The Part of You That No One Sees

You are unique, witty, and even a little snobby.
You're quite proud of who you are, and nothing is going to change that.
You've paved your own way in life, and you've ended up where you want to be.

Underneath it all, you feel very isolated from the rest of the world.
It's hard to find people to relate to you on every level.
The mundane interests of your friends and family often bore or depress you.

Happy birthday, Debby!!!:-)

It's my bestfriend, Debby's birthday today! And I just wanna dedicate this post to her...:)

Debby and I met back in college. We were blockmates, S19.. naks! I still remember..;) She's one of those really smart kids in school. Even graduated Cum Laude if I'm not mistaken.. And if there's one thing I will never forget about her during our college years: she was one person I remember who's always calm and patient when she's explaining some of our subjects to me. And the way she explains things really amaze me! It's so well structured and clear. I even remember this one time we had a major exam, and I didn't get to study much and was really panicking already.. But she was just there, so composed, patient and kind, sharing everything she knows with me.:)

We got really close after college na. Jhia, Jajah and I jokingly call ourselves the "charmed" sisters, during the latter part of our college years. I won't explain why now, because like I said, this is all about Debs..:P And like in Charmed, Debby was our Paige. Being the conservative-smart-nice-naive type, people may wonder how she had bestfriends like us... ahaha!! well, i guess you could say that it's been a really shocking experience for her the first few times she went on gimmicks with the 3 of us.. there was a lot of blushing involved.. ahaha!! And now, whether it's good or bad, I think bits of us rubbed on her already.. ehehe!;) And I'm just SO glad to have her as one of my bestfriends, because Debby is one special person. *kisses*

To my sister Debby, a happy happy happy birthday to you!!

I am so thankful to God for having been blessed with a friend like you. Thanks for always being there for me, for us. For usually being the only sane person in the group.. ahaha!! For always lending an ear to listen... For all the great advices... Thank you!*kisses* I pray that God may give you good health and true happiness in many years to come. love you, sis!:)

xoxo,

Thankful...

Last night, Jajah, Debby and I had dinner at Capricciosa in Greenbelt 3.. It was supposed to be our pa-despedida dinner for Jajah before she leaves for Singapore this Saturday...:( Debby picked the place.. I think she read it from clickthecity or something.. We ordered the eggplant (something) gratin and ceasar's salad, which were both delicious!:P In the end, Debby paid for dinner.. It's her birthday this August so advance treat na lang daw for me and Jah.. ehehe.. Thanks Debs! mwah!
As I've mentioned, Jajah will be leaving for Singapore this Saturday.. She got a job offer from Barclays.. I will really, REALLY miss her a lot.. I'll miss our Saturday lunch dates... and our Redbox tripping... and going to her house just to hang... but I am also happy for her... I know she has waited for this for a long time, and I'm not just talking about work..;)

To Jajah: you take care of yourself, you hear me?..:P ehehe.. Enjoy your blessings.. Good luck with your new work.. I know you'll do well.. I know we'll be keeping in touch naman.. And i'll see you in September..:) I'll really miss you, sis!.. But I know I'll be joining you and Anthony there soon..;) hopefully, soon.. ehehe!! Don't forget your promise to adopt me ha!?;) ehehe!
