Because :)

Because I'm turning a year older in a week's time, I might as well post the things I should be thankful for...:)

For the job, the job that despite and in spite of...I still love. :) There are highs and lows, yes. But it has given me practically everything I dreamed of: to be able to see the heart of the universe (I'm getting there, hopefully); to meet people and see history as it unfolds; and to help people make informed choices (sooo devcom hehe). And surely, work wouldn't be as fun if it weren't for my equally crazy colleagues (Maila, Joel, Lira, Tetch and Onic) and my editors...from only God knows where (umm heaven-sent, of course. :p)
My friends who are truly friends. My college bestfriends Suki, Ria, Sarah, and Cheska. My [p] clover girl buddies Connet and April
and my twin Therese; and my longest sister at heart Joanna. :)

My friends from work who find joy in listening to my rants and in making a slow news day to be happy about. Tin, Ate Cecille, Kuya Benj, Alcuin, and camwhore sis Tarra for giving me plain sensibility or nonsense but funny jokes when I need it most. :)
(Congress bombing presscon)
My family, despite their weirdness at times, for the unconditional love :)
(With cousins)
This goes to Nixlove's family too for making me always feel that I belong. :)
(Ate Sara and Kuya Paul's wedding)

My Mom, with whom I share a love-hate relationship. Mothers can be very unpredictable but hey, my mom has always been one of the best things that ever happened to me. :) I guess that's just the way it is. :)
and of course.. :)

My Nixlove. :) My best friend, my shock absorber, my adviser, my biggest fan (and my grandest idol too), my everything. :) It just keeps getting better and I'm so happy I've found my happily ever after in you, :)
So there, happy birthday to me! haha :)

I'll be coming up with my wish list soon (in time for Christmas too haha). :p
