“Dear Prudence” by the Beatles was my personal theme song/mantra for 2009 and I am thankful for all the people who came into my life who made me feel exactly this:
The sun is up the sky is blue
It’s beautiful and so are you…

This year has been the most adventurous year of my life. A lot of bad things happened to me, but I just take them with the good ones and consider them a plus for experience…

And I made a tweet @ http://twitter.com/hadiyahvalerie
There are so many reasons to be thankful this year. Some of these are constants like life, love, and learning. If I had to cite just one specific instance for 2009, however, it would have to be how my love for poetry was (re-)kindled this year through the work of Wallace Stevens. I’ve been reading his work for years, but it was only in 2009 when this interest bloomed into glorious obsession.
I’m thankful everyday I wake up to enjoy another day with my loved ones. For all the blessings I received even though I felt I was not good a person to be blessed with such things.

(2) I’ll write a blog post later, but just in case, here’s my answer:
In 2009, I’m particularly thankful for the friends I regained/reconnected with; they helped me gain more perspective on things that I probably wouldn’t give attention to had they not pushed me in the right directions.

This 2009 has been very tough for most of Filipino people.
There’s this Swine Flu which affected the health, education and social lives of hundreds or even thousands of our fellows. The wrath of Ondoy which took the livelihood of so many. Their houses were flooded, their possessions and worst of all, the lives of their loved ones are lost in the blink of an eye which is so hard to believe because it didn’t happen for so many decades in Manila. And the latest happening that shocked everyone of us is the Maguindanao Massacre which happened few weeks ago. A massive killing of innocent civilians and those who are just doing their job rightfully.
It has been a year full of tears, misbelief, anger, disappointment, loss and pain. And mostly might have asked this to theirselves…
What is it that God has given me this year that I should thank for? A question hardly answered by many.
But some including me came to realize how fortunate i have become that this 2009 has been a blessing to me.
First is the threat of the disease that became a scare to most of us. I am working in a hospital full of sickly people. I havent used much of the mask and strong vitamins but still I, even my friends and family didnt contract the virus.
Then when Ondoy came to visit Manila, It was October 26 when my boyfriend called me in panic telling me that their things has been washed out by water. I was kinda confused because we are watching tv while it rains and nothing is happening. There’s even no flood in front of our house. and thankfully my love one wasnt hurt after.
And now here I am. Very well. Strong and fine. Working. and oh! just got my work this year before I forget. Its a blessing having a work these days right?
God’s protection towards my family and I is the greatest thing I am thankful for this year. And still hoping for more protection in 2010.
A Moleskine might be an aid to express my gratitude in every moment that i feel that I am truly blessed by the Lord.
May everyone of us find the happiness despite of the crisis we are facing. As long as we live. Its something we should thank for.

I am so thankful that I had overcome all obstacles brought by 2009 and thus I grew up and learned so much, but best of all is that i became so much happier than how I was for the past years. Now life for me is so amazing and I am thankful for every single day that passes me by.

I’m thankful for 2009 for a work promotion, an Elvis Costello concert, 2 overseas vacations, time off from work for the 2 overseas vacations, relative comfort, springing back after the storms, an operation, hormone medicines, great doctors — that means that I will be healthier for many years to come and of course, a wonderful family.

What am I thankful for this 2009? Simply being able to get through it sane, alive, and in one piece, when in fact a number of Filipinos will not be able to witness the new dawn that 2010 shall (hopefully) bring. And to all of them, I offer my prayers and a promise that I will not let their sufferings and death go to waste.
Hello! I placed my entry here: http://rnbautista.tumblr.com. I also twitted about the contest @rnbautista. Please add me on twitter because I have it on private. Thanks!
