Though we don’t really celebrate Thanksgiving here in the Philippines, like what they do in the US, it is still a good thing to be thankful to the Almighty for what he has done for us. As Apostle Paul said in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (NKJV), “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you”.

I actually failed to realize that Thanksgiving was already celebrated the other day, the fourth Thursday of November. That is probably the reason why a cousin mentioned that they don’t have work because it’s a holiday in the US. But anyway, here are some things I’m thankful for:

I am thankful that the Philippine economy did not fail despite the economic turmoil felt worldwide. Even if I am not pro-GMA, I am still thankful that God gave her and those around her wisdom to run this country.

I am thankful for the promotion, even though it was a bit delayed. God had his perfect timing for everything. I thank my superiors for this opportunity. And I don’t even have to shed tears for the Cebu I left behind because of this relocation that goes with the promotion.

I am thankful for my wife who supported me even though she hates the idea of moving to Manila. We had a great and some scary times exploring Manila.

I am thankful for the Citibank credit card that I could use in purchasing my plane tickets. Traveling to Cebu is now at my own expense.

I thank God for my landlady who allowed me to rent her large room and use her 2HP aircon unit.

I thank God even for those thieves who stole my spare tire. Had the spare tire lock dropped at EDSA, it would have been a disaster.

I thank God for my new staff. They are very cooperative and supportive.

I thank God for another year in my life. I celebrated my 33rd birthday the other week and in time with the promotion assignment.

I also thank God for my friend who, despite leaving his high paying job, also got a new one and an AVP title as a bonus.

I am thankful for the search engines, which brought visitors to this blog and to my other blog. May they also stumble into my Pacquiao vs De La Hoya Dream Match post.

I am thankful for you (yes, you) who are reading this post. Thank you for your time, and may you drop by again in the future.
