I am forever grateful to Hubby, who is always there to drop me at work. When I’m fortunate enough, I got to be picked up from work also. There are also my twin daughters who I love beyond the stars. And my extended family and my in-laws for the support I receive and for the love and care they extend to the twins. I am also grateful to have a successful career. I thank my trusted friends who have been there for me especially during tremulous times. There are also things that I thank for but more often than not, being taken for granted. This is my chance to thank them for being a pertinent part of my life: 1) HEALTH CARD. This comes as company benefit. I most appreciate it every time there is a need for physical check up. Even my twins are covered with this benefit! I am also grateful for the other Health Card that covers my father’s health insurance even though he is already a senior citizen. 2) MIKHAELA. My Japanese Spitz puppy. She is still a pup. I got her last June. She turned out to be a our ultimate stress-reliever! 3) SURF THE CHANNEL. For keeping me updated with my favorite TV program episodes. 4) MOMOMESH. For keeping me entertained with Movies on line. 5) FACEBOOK. For rekindling old friendships which started as far back as 25 years ago. (not to mention the endless quizzes; Yoville - my pad looks exquisite already!; Pet-Palz and Barn Buddy) 6) BLOG SITES. For serving as my venue for my rants and thoughts. 7) AIMINI and BEEMP3. For my downloaded songs, especially those hard to find songs. I finally had my ears satisfied listening to those great songs I longed to hear. 8) INTERNET CONNECTION. For being part of my everyday life. 9) JEEPNEYS/BUSES. For being instrumental to my pact of frugal living. (Goodbye taxi cabs!) 10) MARKET VENDORS. For always giving me discounts or free veggies at times 11) MY 2 CELLPHONES. For my daily communication with my loved ones 12) CREDIT CARDS. For being my constant companion whenever in need especially when purchasing medicines 13) PROMO CARDS. Big things come in small packages. I just love the timing when I am budgeted but learned that I have a promo card for a free lunch or free meal. 14) GOOD MOVIES. I am not a movie addict; nor a couch potato. But I definitely appreciate the good movies which made me felt good inside. These are times I embrace the time of just doing comfortably nothing. 15) GOOD BOOKS. Feel-good books with a touch of wit and humor like all Sophie Kinsella’s books. 16) ROCKY ROAD ICE CREAM. A good companion when I am down…or just having that period of the month. 17) WHITE CHOCO MOCHA. Nothing beats the soothing effect this coffee has on me. Keeps me calm all the time! 18) ALCOHOL, LOTION and PERFUME. For my every so often trip. (Part of my OC,!) 19) FAST FOOD CHAINS. For being a huge part of my everyday breakfast. Thank you Tropical Hut, Jollibee, McDonald’s, KFC,Tokyo Tokyo, and Yellow Cab. I am looking forward to have these as special part of my life this year. I hope to realize more simple things to thank for. I hope to read more simple things YOU thank for also.. Your turn...

Hey, thanks for the list. I got to know some free sites from you. I'm thankful for my boss' noisy footsteps, for always making me aware that he is coming near my desk. I'm also thankful for the office espresso machine, for keeping me awake during the ungodly hours of the afternoon.
