GRATEFUL

I know it's unfortunate but sometimes, it takes bad things to happen to other people for you to realize how lucky you are. It has been a rough 2 weeks for a few people that I care for very much that it has made me so much more grateful for these 5 things:

1. V and I are faithful to each other despite our spats every now and then.
2. I have wonderful helpers who genuinely care for us, especially for Joaquin.
3. A great relationship with my sisters. We made a promise last week that we would never ever fight over money or something equally petty.
4. My mom is unbelievably healthy! :)
5. My family (especially the ones in the US) still have jobs.

I was chatting with a friend from the US last week and I was saying that despite the financial crisis/recession the world is going through right now, we should remember that we still have a lot of things to be grateful for. Actually, this is something we should remember everyday.

So there-- I still want new running shoes, a laptop and an oven for Christmas and while I wouldn't mind getting all the material things I asked for, these 5 things I listed are more than enough to make my holidays happy. I hope yours will be too!

HIGHLIGHTS OF MY WEEK

Just wanted to share highlights of my week last week:


1. Saw the Twilight premiere at Greenbelt 3 with Charo.

And yes, the book is so much better than the movie! But to see Bella, Edward, Charlie, The Cullens and everyone else on screen was such a thrill! It's been awhile since I gushed over a celebrity and I don't care if this makes me seem like a teenager again but--I love you, Rob Pattinson!!! You played Edward really well! You're the best vampire boyfriend a girl could ever have. Hahaha!


Yumyumyumyumyumyumyumyum!!!

2. How I Met Your Mother's Naked Man Episode.

Friends used to be the only show that I can watch over and over and over again and still laugh as hard. I just never get sick of it. How I Met Your Mother comes in second, thanks to the awesomeness that is Neil Patrick Harris. I really recommend this show to everyone.



Suit up, Barney!

Going back to last week's episode, the group came up with 50 reasons to have sex and it's quite funny!

3. Watching Twilight for the 2nd time. (If you're a fan, it is better the 2nd time around.)

4. I charmed my Aussie client in agreeing to not let my team come to work on Philippine holidays! I finally got to enjoy the long weekend yesterday (Bitin. But I'm looking forward to the week-long holiday in a few weeks!). :)

5. Joaquin's swimming pool (For now).

Ninang Bea (thank you again!!!) gave Joaquin an olympic-sized (baby olympics, haha!) inflatable pool for his birthday and we got to use it over the weekend.

HE WE LOVED IT! Joaquin cried when we took him out of the pool. We are hoping that this will teach him how to love the water. Hopefully, he will be ready for the beach next year!







I'm pretty sure this week will be just as great coz it's a short work week! Hooray! Have a wonderful week, guys!
