10 Things I'm Thankful For....

I've been stressing about how broke I am recently to my friends and I think it's starting to annoy the sh*t out of them. But yes, I find myself lacking a few extra thousand bucks from my usually thick 'man purse' (and by that I mean my wallet) these days that it's depressing. I'm soooo not used not having enough cash that I am getting depressed about it. This morning, instead of my usual Country Style Breakfast Combo, I've gone the wiser (and cheaper) by bringing a Lucky Me Chicken Noodle Soup to eat AND settled for my usual 3-in-1 Nescafe Coffee. What can I say, these are indeed hard times. HARD TIMES!!!

My trip to Uzbekistan got canceled. Apparently it was not safe for us to go there for now. I was kinda looking forward to this trip. I even Google-d the place and did some research especially on the weather. Well according to weather.com, it would usually go from 8 degrees Celsius to Zero! Wooohooo! That means snow! Never seen snow even when I was in England. I got to see the frost the morning after but that hardly counts. So I guess I have to wait again until I am given the opportunity to make my very own snow angel. Oh well... Maybe next time.

I've been thinking that since I've been dealing with such as crisis in my life right now, I should be counting my blessings instead of sulking on what God intended to be challenges to make me stronger. And so, I decided to come up with a list of 10 things I am grateful for. Here goes...

10. I am thankful that I still have a wonderful apartment to go home to and rest and live.

9. My work. Much as I have so many issues at work, I am still thankful that I have a decent enough job that pays for most of my bills. I love my boss and friends at the office and I do still enjoy traveling to new places.

8. Gadgets. My PlayStation, iPod, Ben (my Nikon D60), mobile phones, laptops, TV and DVD player, iPod speakers. These help me to survive!

7. Networking sites. Multiply, Facebook, Friendster, Flickr, Blogspot, and G4M. In this day and age it's amazing how it's almost impossible NOT to meet new friends or even hook-ups! Hahahaha!

6. My family! I love 'em! Very much!

5. FRIENDS DVD! I never, ever EVER go tired of watching them! I only wish all friends are like them! Well, at least most of my friends actually even surpass the criteria. Good for me, sucks for them! Kidding!

4. My addictions. Coffee. San Mig Light and Cigarettes. Life's simple joys that's slowly killing me. Need to quit! Need tooooo quit!

3. The gift of life. I know it sounds mushy... but I am thankful to be alive. You should too! I've experienced too many near death misses that I can only be thankful everyday!

2. My friends. Without them, I'd probably die!

1. LOVE! Yes, you heard it right, above all I believe in love. Love is like oxygen. Love lifts us up where we belong. All we need is love. I am and forever will be hopeless romantic. Deal with it! HAHAHA! =D And did I mention I'm single. 17 months and counting. Somebody (cum)come already!
