My Ninang Prency tagged me to do this one: “What are you grateful for?” (Or if you want, what are you complaining about?) Sorry Ninang if it took me this long to do this. Lam mo naman, hindi ako mashado nakakabisita. Especially lately cos your blog’s blocked (blogspot) at work. 😉
Well, here goes…
I am grateful for my health. Even if I get mouth sores (singaw) sometimes, and it makes it difficult to eat, at least I’m healthy (although a little underweight) enough to enjoy everything that life has to offer.
I am grateful for having inherited my dad’s genes of (I think) having a fast metabolism. Even if I eat a lot, I don’t get fat easily. 😉 (although my tummy is getting bigger lately — and not due to a baby!)
I am grateful for not having a sweet tooth. Otherwise, I might be prone to get diabetes. It sorta runs in the family (my lolo died from complications from this).
I am grateful for my parents. For guiding me into the person that I am now. For giving me freedom as I was growing up. I never experienced curfews or stuff like that. They always allowed me to go wherever and whenever I wanted to, as long as they know where it is, who I am with, how am I getting there, who will take me home, etc.
I am grateful for being blessed with a sweet, thoughtful, wonderful and wacky family and having close relations with my relatives. Weekends spent at home is really a lot of fun and full of hilarious moments.
I am grateful for our yaya — lolita, who takes care of everything at home, my dad, my blind brother and my mom. She really is a part of the family.
I am grateful for my very makulet and really smart pamangkins — they always make me smile.
I am grateful for having such wonderful friends. Even if we don’t get to see each other as often as I’d like, they’re always there for me.
I am grateful for my mr. antuken. For letting me be who and what I wanna be. For understanding my moods. For always being there. For always making me laugh. Starting a life with him will not be all rosy, I’m sure. But then again, I never expected it to be
I am grateful for my job. It makes me insane sometimes, but at least I have one. There are a lot of people out there who always have jobs that aren’t permanent (contractual).
I am grateful for having a choice. Others do not.
I still have a ton of things to be grateful for, but putting ’em all here would make this post really, really long. 😉

In order to be able to achieve and maintain happiness we need to, actively, be able to do two things: Complain and then let go (Dump the baggage, the roadblocks to happiness.) Express Gratitude (The open expression of gratitude promotes happiness.) After all everyone has something to be grateful for and/or something to complain about. If you would like to share, please follow the appropriate link and do so: “Are You Grateful?”, “Complain Complain Complain.”

I won’t be tagging anyone, but feel free to do this meme if you like. 🙂
Hi, my name is Mel, of Attitude the Ultimate Power (#1 on the participant list,) and I am the creator of the gratitude meme. To help promote this meme I have also created a site that is dedicated to Gratitude where I post all of the participant’s “Statements of Gratitude.” Apparently this meme has morphed into a viral tag, which is not what I intended.
Your “Gratitude Statement” has been posted on the “Gratitude Site.” The URL is . Don’t forget to come by and copy/paste the current list of participants back to your post. Doing this frequently insures maximum link benefit for everyone who participates. And by keeping your list current with mine you won’t have to respond to individual participant requests to add them to your list. Staying current is optional. However, if you do stay current, you will maximize the “link-love” for everyone who participates. My suggestion is to schedule a visit to once every couple of weeks and add the new participant links.
Please let me know if there are any changes that you would like to make to the post.
Thanks for participating. If possible, try to get others to participate; again, totally optional. Also, you can contribute as many “Statements of Gratitude” and/or “Complaints” as you wish.
Please disregard the following statement on the previous comment: “Apparently this meme has morphed into a viral tag, which is not what I intended.”
Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. However, the rest of the comment holds.
Hi, Chona, Thanks so much for doing the tag. I love your list and I agree that you are one lucky gal.
I have an award for you on my blog. Hurry, go see.
Hugs to your sleepyhead.
thanks for this ninang!
“I am grateful for my health. Even if I get mouth sores (singaw)….” —- yaannnn! nagkakasingaw ka na kasi kung anu ano na ang sinusubo mo mula nung nag asawa ka!
hahaha! for the record sexy mamaru, bata pa ako singaw-in na ako. nasa lahi ng tatay ko yan! hehe
This is a wonderful list. Good health, great family and a wonderful partner in life are worth celebrating.
i agree with rach – kapag thankful ka, everything would be better 😀
