Thankful Last May

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.

I started this blog to remind me about my faith, hope and gratitude. I've been blogging since 2006 (my old blog which I laid to rest - but of course not forgotten) and just this year decided to start a new blog that will and should constantly remind me of these important things that will remind me how to live life THE WAY IT SHOULD BE. It's easy for me to sometimes forget faith, hope and gratitude especially on down times. The nice thing though is I keep coming back to these "important things" and I can say Thank you Lord. It changes me. And this should be constantly. and FOREVER. After all, life is not to be lived based on one's past but about the present time and how things are going to be better or one chooses to be better.  ( and I don't know why I injected this last sentence hahaha but it maybe because I want to remind myself)

So enough about this and continue this grateful project. I was thankful last May which happened to be my birth month too. Truly, I have blessings which I sometimes forget that I have it. May was a beautiful month as always so thank you Lord.

I am thankful because:

My St. Jude visit

I love St. Jude and feels good whenever I am there. The last time I was there was
2012 so last May, I made a promise to myself to visit the church and pray to God.

Lucky Chinatown and my Vacation Leaves
My tour guide: My son Gavin

Can you imagine it was my first time in Lucky Chinatown? My son Gavin who have been there for many times happily toured me around the place and after that we ended up super, super  ( the best way I can describe the hours we were walking) stroll in 999 mall to do our shopping. So happy to be back in Divisoria too and making this trip and memory with my son.

I am also thankful of my vacation leaves that I took that is why I was able to go to places I have promised myself. ( Eventhough the Tagaytay Trip was postponed, I still feel good :> ) The next day after Chinatown, it was Eastwood day  because it was the time my Gavin and I were slated to buy school supplies and watch X men.

The Celebration 
Beautifully presented at Mesa

My Family and my bestfriend
( I remembered my dad's ever thoughtfulness on this day and everyday)
30ish + 5ish= A better 35 year old on the road to become better than yesterday
and avoid the mistakes of the past. 


An intimate and happy dinner with my family. 
I love Sambokojin buffet and the fact that birthday celebrants are entitled to a free buffet.



This wonderful gift being a brand ambassador of my favorite brands



I realised that writing post like this reminds me that I am blessed. It feels good saying it. I still have a long way to go to positivity but what am sure of is that I am taking the right way for a better life.

I still want to post more about this but maybe I will share more on my next post.

Thank  you Lord!
