I am thankful for every day that I wake up knowing that even if I am sick and may have difficulty having kids in the future, I am not dying.
I just thank goodness I survived this year!
I plugged this at http://twitter.com/mahalaryu and http://ailaham.wordpress.com/2009/11/30/what-are-you-thankful-for-this-2009/
*crosses fingers!*
I’m thankful for the chance of winning this! =)
(And of course, that even when things were hard in the year 2009, so much good still came out of it – including the fact that I can look forward to the year 2010! =D)
2009 has been a rollercoaster-ride for me. There were ups and there were downs. It’d be easier to say I’m thankful for all the ups I’ve went through this year: a new apartment, a rekindled love affair, road trips to new places, a promotion at work and lots and lots of new stuff. But it was mostly the downs I’m most thankful for because it gave my life a different dimension: a break-up, a family member leaving the country for good, a failed career option, days when I was really broke. It’s because of stuff like this that I was able to rise up and have the courage to live on. 2009 may have been hard, but I know 2010 will be better.
This year has been akin to an awakening for me. So many things were stirred up in me that I’ve never thought was possible & I’m truly a better person now. I’m thankful for love & loss, the ups & downs, the peace & insanity… All dualisms, everything in between… They make life like a colourful parade — and we all dance (-:
I’m thankful for the many candidates running for President this year. They made me realize that in the elections to come, a genuine leader should step up from our ranks.
I am thankful for all the rash decisions I did not make.
I am thankful for new friends made that I hope would turn out lifetime.
After waiting for 6 years, my biggest blessing finally came this 2009.
I am thankful for my son.

Hi there! I blogged about it here:

and tweeted it as well (@macaronigirl)
I am also thankful that during the typhoon Ondoy I was with my husband and daughter and fortunately we went to the mall early so we never experienced the flood at home. I’m grateful that we were together as a family and we survived that incident without any casualty.
I’m thankful for having good health and making it this far without going insane.

I’m very thankful for the love of my friends and family, and for being given so many opportunities to learn outside the classroom.
I am thankful for my renewed relationship with the Lord, my family & friends and my new work. I was blessed a thousand fold this year so I decided to give back to those in need
Here’s my entry!

I am thankful for so many things and one of them is this contest. I am thankful that Avalon.ph is sharing its blessings to Pinoy bloggers. Big thanks to you!
I am thankful to have survived this year’s trials to my sanity. And for this one big blessing that has changed my life in ways I cannot even fully articulate, I am extremely thankful for that.
My 2010 will be colorful
I am thankful for the blessings that I have received this year… the inspirations for my blogs and craft which are my comics and the novel I am writing. Also the trials that I have endured… even sometimes it rocked me to the core, I still woke up everyday and felt I am still alive and everything I have encountered makes life more happy.
I am thankful that for my health and the well being of my family. I can’t say it was good year but still I am thankful for all the blessings I received.
I am thankful for all the people I have met and those that I’ve grown closer to. I’m also very thankful for all the experiences I had, and especially for the lessons I learned from them.

i’m thankful for having a blog. though i have a handful of friends, there are times that i really feel lonely. of course i got a loving family but aside from them, everybody needs a friend. and that’s what my blog has been doing for four years now. it’s been there to accompany me, listen to my problems when nobody seems to care. 2009 is a bit special since the magnitude of my loneliness and emptiness fall down on me so sudden.
another thing i’m thankful for are bloggers like you giving away free stuff like this. this is my second time joining a contest and hopefully this time, i’ll win. besides, i need color in my life, might as well have color notes instead…

I am thankful for my newfound friends; the organization that I had recently joined and became a part of; the wonderful books that I’ve read; the deadly exams that I’ve managed to pass; the late night-outs with people whose company I enjoy; and my family.
amidst all the mishappenstance of 2009…i am alive and ok, my family and friends too…and with that alone, i feel overly blessed…
When forced to face the tedium that is being an adult, I will always be grateful for kindness and all its small miracles. Because this year, I’m grateful that I was forced to grow up and deal with many practical things. http://bit.ly/5uHrAG
I’m thankful for being alive because I cross C5 almost every day. Even with a Pasig police helping me cross, the cars still zoom right past you as you’re crossing the street. So thank you, God for keeping me alive, and thank you Pasig police, for helping me cross the street. And thanks to avalon.ph for the most awesome books!

So, this year I am thankful for not being broken. For not having to go through that emotional roller-coaster again. For being able to make the right decisions- if not all the time, but at least most of the time. For having good friends, who have helped me through thick and thin. For having to love and be loved. For all the people who supported me to change for the better.
2009 is indeed one big leap.
I’m thankful most importantly, that 2009 happened.

i am thankful because i started openly celebrating who i am this year and my friends love and respect me even more for because of it. i am very happy to have met the one i will be with for the rest of my days.
im thankful that God made me as I am. Even if im not beautiful, im thankful to him that im complete. i can see, i can walk, i can run, i can write, i can hear and i can feel.
I am thankful for the good health God gave my family this year.
1. A job that doesn’t require me to sit on my ass during the wee hours of the morning, simulating an American intonation with my social life and prime time National Geographic documentaries going down the miserable drain before me. All these just to get screamed at by some trailer park redneck from another time zone.
2. Winning a national poetry award for a four-line travel-themed poetry. This after the University of the Philippines’ Creative Writing Institute decided I don’t display enough writing prowess to be admitted to their graduate school program (I knew it. Bjorn and I should have peppered our try-out manuscripts with Marxist terminologies and burned our poignant poetries on nature and God before the University’s nude effigy).
3. Like-minded friends for the comedy and for being willing to perform various bizarre antics in the name of insanity, art and Bjork.
4. The bookstores which never grow tired of stacking up their shelves with great literature.
5. God and His promises.
6. Mommy and Daddy for supplying me with enough morbidity with their daily discussions on medical gore over breakfast (and for putting up with my tantrums).
7. He-knows-who-he-is for his perfect grammar, quiet intelligence, forest-green eyes and everyday cheerios.
8. Occasional bouts of depression to always remind me that I am human and very much imperfect.
9. Chowking for the ice cubes when I needed a cup full of it for blissful munching.
10. Regina Spektor, Tori Amos and Fiona Apple for music that arouses the muse; Smashing Pumpkins, Garbage and Rage Against the Machine when I need an escape from my disappointments.

I am thankful for the gift of being able to survive. 2009 has been my rockiest, most troubled year. It is the worst year of my life, and yet, I am still alive and I still manage to muster a smile or two. That’s what I’m thankful for.
