Day 1: We begin to be grateful

Week two of The Feast series today with Jera and Nina. We promised to do this, weekly. What's nice is we met two new "girlfriends"  -- Carla and Regine. Two wacky and spontaneous young girls with a serious love for taking pictures. "Selfie", if you would want to put it in today's lingo. Jhing surprised me today for coming to the Feast. And she thought I wouldn't notice her hiding behind Jera's back! Hahaha! (You failed on this one! :) Anyway, I guess she's the master mind of a surprise treat, right after lunch at Mang Inasal.
Haha! That's the reason why she left for a good couple of minutes, pala.

She bought this! :)




along with a note.



Thank you, girls for starting the day with me :)

Back At home, my sister bought this one!


I am blessed to be surrounded by loving, caring, sweet people :)

I am a happy 28-year-old. Oh and yeah, Avril Lavigne;s my idol now, As her song goes: "Here's to never growing old" :)

Today's other highlight is the final match between Gilas Pilipinas and Iran for the FIBA Asia Championship title.

Surprisingly, I have developed a love for sports. It's something I have never imagined getting hooked to. But thanks for the opportunity to write, and to the people who continuously teach me about the goings-on with different sport, I have come to really appreciate it!

I am grateful to some people in my life who helped me appreciate it. For those who gave me the opportunity to write for it, and to work for it. :) I am enjoying it!

I am learning a lot of things -- not just about different sport, but also the culture, the attitude, the motivation it brings.  You'll get a lot of take-home learning with it, things you can apply to real, everyday life.

In another note, Gilas Pilipinas is going to the FIBA World Cup next year. Good luck to the team. You are such an inspiration to us all! :)




And one of the things I have realized?  The wins, the plays, pinoy crowd cheering for the team -- it's all such a wonderful thing to witness. Just goes to show how basketball unifies us all. :)

Well, more on that in another post :) (**wink!)


Take home thought:

  • In today's the Feast, Brother Bo Sanchez mentioned this: "You have to be one with yourself. You've got to have a strong center"
