Beautiful Friday

When Friday comes, I often – insensibly – exclaim ‘Thank God it’s Friday!’ 

But never did I mean it as much as NOW. Seriously, I really thank God today’s Friday. I thank God for this beautiful day. For a long time, I never ended a week this awesome! I can no longer remember when was the last time I concluded the week this great. 

Why not?

The sea breeze that kisses my cheeks wakes me up; the smile of the rising sun welcomes my sight, and the laughter of dear friends at such early hour warms my soul.

What a beautiful way to start the day!

The sentimental-me takes the day. Now, I am being reflective and thankful.

I feel like my heart would burst with so much gratefulness. 

Our God is a wonderful and great God. He simply knows what's best and not for us. And Oh! I so love and always am grateful on how He arranged people in our lives. Our every encounter is a blessing and has a purpose.

I love my parents so dearly.  Though I never grew up with a ‘normal’ family (I cannot straightly define what a normal family is, all I know is just ours isn't normal) but never did I wish to have different parents. God has a purpose for putting me in this circle.

My sister, she’s my best friend and enemy as well. I cannot imagined how lonely and alone my life would be if she were not born. As for now, she’s the reason I am fighting. 
Without her, what purpose would I have in this world?

Oh! Man, the highlight of my day. There is no moment in a day that I never think of him. 
I thank God so much for directing his path to mine. I’m praying that our paths must NOT be like a line tangent to a circle. 
Fingers-crossed.

Them. They are the people who care and the people I love. 
I cannot name them all for they are many. But surely, their names are uttered in my prayers. 
You guys are the showers from heaven and the light from sun to my garden, you nourish my very soul. 
You make my life more beautiful. 

Friendship. This is such a wonderful blessing. 
All the time we are surrounded by people, but being surrounded by friends, I mean real friends, is comforting but rare. 
And I am so blessed to be standing in the middle of warmth friendship. 
It is beyond nice  to be with people who accept you for what and who you really are. 
Laughing until tummy hurts is amazing. I would like to special mention Shyr, John and Jayson, you guys are like raindrops suspended in the sky. 
You scattered the plain white light to rainbow! 
And not only that, you also join me jump and laugh on the clouds.

CKC. Wew! I am thankful I am in CKC. FOR MANY REASONS. Aside from being my feeding bowl, here I found a second home. Somehow, CKC saved me from snake pit many times. I am always grateful for that.

I have so much to thank for. But I just have to cut it here; because if I am going to write them all, this list would not end and I must be writing my whole life.

Another realization I got from that reflective moment I just had…

Last night was like a break-away from a noisy world. I just realized it was all I needed after all. I've been lame and lazy for the past days. I feel so depreciated, uninspired and unmotivated. I feel tired even doing nothing. I was stagnant like chains were tied at my feet and stopped me from moving.

Now, I am revived!

Plus I got to visit Mama. This adds another happy and lighthearted feeling. 

Another plus! The happy-edgy jitters I’m feeling. I am so excited for Christmas! A family whom we will be spending Christmas this year is the earliest Christmas gift I received. 

I've been crossing out dates on my calendars, so looking FAST forward to meet and hug the pillows prepared for me. I just got the news that they’re all set to see me! (smiles)

Family, as always, is the ‘bestest’ best gift I’d always want to have. And God never failed to give me that. Oh! I must be a good girl. 

December 1 na gayud! Pasko na hapit.

Much love received, much more to give!
