Blessed

I was about to sleep and call it a night, when I felt like something was missing.

Yes, I took a nice warm bath, brushed my teeth, did my evening rituals but still, that gnawing feeling that something is missing is well, there. I realized I haven't blogged a while, and I haven't even written my yearly thanks to people who rocked my life in the year that is about to done in a few days.

So yet again, here it goes:

My blogging friends are on the top of my list. Arthur, you crazy hyena you. Thank you for laughing with me till I run out of either load credits or breath - whichever comes first. I still have the text you sent me assuring me of your presence even though you are well, far away.

Lisa, thanks for all your prayers and encouragement. I can feel your love overflow all the way from Hawaii when you drop me a comment or two.

Tom, mate, thanks for the talk we had one time in MSN. I can still vividly remember it. And thank you for blogging with such wisdom that I always go away blessed when I drop by your blog.

Next are my dorm mates. Jeff, I am so glad I could be just real around you without the fear of being rejected. I learn from you as much as you think you learn from me. Thank you so much for that memorable motorbike ride in the city that late night. You opened my eyes to greater realities.

Kate and Teofy, how can I thank you enough by being there when Frank paid the city a visit? Though my room was spared from the muddy waters, I am totally grateful for you treading the murky waters,risking yourselves of leptostirosis to go to my room and put all my stuff on top of my bed - while I was in Tagaytay dancing with colleagues on our Fellowship night - clueless.

Reymund, for keeping me sane. You who listen intently as I inundate you with information - even though I know you won't use most of them. Thanks for being there, literally. Take care of yourself there in Baguio, okay?

Isaac and Kurt or should I say, Will and Enchong - thanks for encouraging me to work out. I know I am not the most disciplined person in the world so having you guys around encourage me to not only work out well, but eat properly too.

My colleagues. Chuckie, thanks for the laughter - and also for teaching me how to be mature and patient. Haha..

Willie, thanks for all the subtle advices you gave. I know you try to make it sound like I arrived there on my own, but all the while you lead me there.

Miss Anne, for continually being my Mom in the office. Thanks for the free food!

E, for being a really good friend. And for being as crazy as I am. Thank you heaps.

My buddies. Jimmy, I love you brother. January 12 is coming soon and I know it's sad, but I am sure God's got a plan. I will miss you.

Innhee, wherever you are - thanks for touching my life with yours.

Aiai, thanks for being my crying buddy.

Marlon, thanks for the load! Hahaha.. Sana cash na lang. =)

Guddz, for teaching me so many things without you knowing them - thanks. You are a wonderful person inside out.

To everyone I missed, I hope you have a blessed Christmas. My clock just turned 12 so I have to wrap this up to give my folks and sibs a kiss.

Thanks ya'll. God bless.
