October 13, 2009. Another figure farther from the markable days in the calendar, and another day to stress to myself that the numbers don't matter.

I've been wont to do some appreciations for people in my life every now and then. Today this year, I'm doing it ala post...

to my BB first and foremost ~~ you made my day today! I hoped that you would greet me. And you did!

to you whom I share my BB and demented dog moments (and a lot of other things) with ~~ thank you for a lot of things! For allowing me to share every bit of my truly demented dog lashings, to my baby gushings... and lots more. I really appreciate it.

to you who first greeted me in Facebook ~~ thank you very much! I was afraid someone would do that because what if people just didn't greet me afterwards? That would be utter humiliation. However, never mind that fact. Thank you for the primary greetings! Yes, you were the first.

to you who reminded me of the demented dog's special day ~~ today's the first year I actually didn't feel anything about that, and you had to remind me haha. Even so, I know your heart's intents. Thanks a lot. We've shared a lot of things. I truly appreciate them all.

to you who share our all-girl-emails-even-though-you're-not-a-girl ~~ thank you! words just can't express my appreciation of you. napakalaki ng aking UTANG NA LOOB.

to my huggable preggy whale ~~ thank you! I could never feel ashamed or little whenever I talk to you.

to my OC YM buddy ~~ thank you. You're there almost 5/9-5. Work life would be different otherwise.

to you who will soon turn kiwi ~~ thank you. You understand the apprehensions and experience of living alone overseas. And you like the pictures I take. It makes me feel good, like I'm good at something. Thanks a lot!

to you who share the same art cell as me in our clan ~~ thank you. You fully understand when I need to lash out about being unconsciously and subconsciously discriminated against, and you are 101% behind me. That comforts me. Thanks!

to the 5 of you girls who make me feel really blessed for meeting you early on in life ~~ even as I went a different path not long afterwards, thank you! thank you! thank you! for being there.

to you mr. perenially nice guy ~~ thank you! even though you just announced to "everyone" that I'm like one of the boys... I take that as a compliment. Besides, you're comfortable yourself.

to you ms. bottomless pit ~~ I will always remember when you described me as one who looks at things like I'm observing them. I take that as a compliment. It's always fun when you're around.

to the potentially perennial ms. nice girl ~~ thank you. Just like mr. perenially nice guy, you're always there when I have a need. I really really appreciate it.

... and the list goes on.

Words are not always enough to express one's gratitude. And we can never get enough (and give enough) of appreciations. Hugs and kisses to y'all!
