I have not been making entries at this blog of mine as I was busy setting up my own blog site.  Pls do visit simplyabbie.com. Thanks.

We've been very busy this fast few days. We had our Christmas Party last 17 Dec and it was great. We have a presentation/dance contest but unfortunately, we only placed 3rd. It was themed hits of the 80's. We did enjoy the dancing. We had a lot of fun. Don't have pictures though. I'll try to get hold of some. It should be hilarious as we had a member broke her heels while dancing, we have one that almost slipped (thank God, she didn't!)  and our one and only effect took off on the wrong time.   

Our current director is so Cool! He's the pasimuno (promoter) of the festivities. When people starts to mellow, he's one saying, "Hey people! Cheer up!"

Well, that was all last Saturday. I just couldn't concentrate on the details 'cause right now I am so busy with work. After I finished these allotments, I'll try to post the details.

When was the last time you thought about how good life is to you? Or is it how bad is life is to you?  I believe the first question is better as I believe that nothing happens without a reason however painful it is.

For me life has is good as I am already a grown woman now, many have passed away without reaching this age.

I am grateful I have already finished my College degree, though there were quite a few struggles, particularly in the financial side.

I am grateful I am employed at a generous company after a long time in a not-so-human company.

I am grateful that I am able to feel love after being quite dead, emotionally, for 7 years because I fell in love with a perfect guy.

I am grateful that he was my first boyfriend and my last ( i want him to! ) just like I prayed to God. then.

I am grateful that we are now on our fifth year and still counting!

I am grateful that I am able to afford quite few luxuries ( like my book collection ) which I wasn't able to before 'cause our income is just right.

I am grateful and lucky that I have still good friends despite that I feel that I am not worthy to be theirs because of lack of effort on my side.

I am grateful that God still listens to me and don't ignore me inspite that I know I do better.


I am grateful that I have found persons who loves me though I have lost someone before.


I am grateful that God tests me so I can become strong.


I am grateful for opportunities 'cause they let me experience something new.


I am grateful for talent and skills 'cause without them life seems dull.


I am grateful for the food on my table as some only eats once a day.


I am grateful for embraces and kisses 'cause they make me feel wonderful.


I am grateful for my sister 'cause its lonely to be alone.


I am grateful that I got to know my mother even for only 13 years because some didn't had a chance to see theirs.


I am grateful for my father, though we don't go along very well, others are far worse than mine.


I am grateful for my pets. They make me feel appriciated.

I am grateful I found reading. It has taken me to wonderful worlds I could have not known.

I am grateful for the sun as it still shines and give us light every day.

To finish this entry, 'cause I could go on and on...

I am grateful for those who had taken time to read this.

A thousand thanks.

I've just been blog hopping and  I can't help myself admiring them blogs that are so simple ( no graphics, effects etc ) but still manage to pick up interest of a lot.  Is it because I don't mind reading without pictures? No, I don't think so. One thing just stucks on my mind.

I don't need way too much graphics for people to read what I have to say.

 Our officemate kept asking us, What's up with blogging? Cause every breaktime we sit here in front of our computer and almost completely ignore everybody else. The question made me realize also, "Why do I Blog?"  You know what? I am.... speechless? I haven't given much thought about it.  I remember all too well, a time when my boyfriend got mad at me and said "Blogging is all you do! ". Well, I got addicted in making layouts for blogdrive. I think I had changed my layout for more than ten times before I finally settled with this layout which I borrowed (hope he doesn't mind . I still gave him credit though.  ) 'cause I still haven't learned how to make one on my own ( I'm getting there ).

• Its relatively new to me. I love learning something new.  Its because of blogs I learned how to play with Adobe Photoshop ( my boyfriend is a big help though, he's an expert ) and I learned CSS and Html and a little bit of java.
• It enhances my creativity in writing ( as if I have one ) and art ( frustation ) which I don't often got to practice since my work in mostly number and logic related.
• I get to express myself and write down my thoughts which often changes.
• I get to meet new friends ( hope I will ).
• It makes me happy!

I believe I don't need a long list of why I keep on blogging. I just like it. Period.

I am not really fond of talking about myself. I say that I am not interesting enough to be talked about (not that I don't like myself, I just feel that there's a lot more interesting stuff to talk about). Well... I guess this will be good for me to get-to-know myself better.
