“If the only prayer you said in your whole life was, “thank you,”...”
– Today’s “Thank you” moments:
1. Finding a really nice copy (no dents, nicks, folds or marks) of Linda Buckley-Archer’s “The Time Travelers” (The Tar Man). Bonus: Getting the book at 20% off.
2. A guy in line at Starbucks who gave away his planner stickers...

Tired but happy
Today’s plan was to meet up with some friends, go to the Komikon then go for dinner. That pretty much went according to what I wanted, but it went even further. Lots of walking and exploring. I’m positive that with these adventures with these friends, I’ll end up exploring the whole of Metro Manila.
Went to visit an old haunt: Greenhills. It’s changed so much since I last...

Today, I’m particularly happy for these things:
Saw someone I had grievances with in the past. I was quite nervous,...

Been a while...
That doesn’t mean I’m not thankful :) I say thanks for…
1. A successful family cook-out last week. It was great to eat something that we all prepared, then spent the rest of the night til the wee hours of the morning just talking.
2. Manang Gaya. My parents decided we needed someone to help around the house, to do the cooking and cleaning. It’s great, and a big relief.

Week 11
Last week was so full of win (so to speak). I got a chance to meet Neil Gaiman, talk to him for a few minutes and get my book signed. Never mind that he won’t know me from Adam should we meet again. To me, that was a moment (or two) that I won’t ever forget.
Saturday, I went to run some errands and found a book someone was looking for. I sort of act as a book buyer, so when people...

Glorious!
Neil Gaiman used that word over and over last night, and we all loved it. I think it’s apt.

2. Traffic wasn’t so bad southbound. I got to where I needed to be in an hour or so.
3. I got to see Neil Gaiman! He’s just so amazing. This...

Hello 2010!
Year 2009 was very eventful. I can’t say it was bad, but it was full of good things despite all the challenges, the heartaches and pains.
Here’s to the year past, and to 2010!
Thank you for everything!

It’s like Twitter, but pretty much you answer the question “What are you thankful for today?” for your posts. Give it a try. :)

Today, we got a cash bonus at work. Though it doesn’t make me financially rich by any means, it lightens my load considerably. I can now pay my bills without wondering how I’ll survive til next payday. Thank you!
Also big thanks for the following: bonding time with my brothers, great conversation with friends, cookies, bargain prices and bringing everyone home safe & sound!

Hanging out with my college best friends last Saturday. We didn’t do anything special, but just basically hang around....

What are the things you are thankful about? Be it material, spiritual, people or anything at all, say it! Let the world now.
The word “Salamat” is the Filipino word for “Thank you.” It has variations all over the country, depending on the dialect, but it sounds similar and all has the same meaning.
For Muslims and Arab speakers, it may sound familiar because the root word...
