Counting the blessings of year 2010 and naming them one by one

Year 2010 was a really blessed year for me. I won lots of giveaways!

1. a pair of white shell & Pearl earrings
2. Won $70 from KP Blogversary Contest
3. The Beautiful Creatures Children’s Songs of Africa CD by Ed Jordan and Alan Grass. It is composed of 10 songs about God’s beautiful creatures found on the African continent.
4. 1st prize on Inspirational Insight’s Blogversary Contest. I won $40 and info.domain with hosting
5. won a food giveaway and share the prize of Php150 worth of gift certificate from My Cake Store GC to my dear friend, Ms. Phebie
6. A Victoria Secret Lotion from Amazing Grace’s Giveaway and shared the prize to my mom
7. Jelly Bandz giveaway from Mommy Journey which my sister Yvonne used as bracelets and I think she looks so cool with it!

I had my first real cake ever from the Marce Club on my 29th birthday!

Experience new things like Fish Spa!

Visit new place with the family- Songkhla Aquarium!

We’ve finally found a place where we could say “we’re at home!”

My parent’s celebrated their Diamond wedding! We’re so blessed of their marriage and how they displayed their love for each other since we’re kids until now that we have our own family. Their sweetness and thoughtfulness to each other reminds us to be the same with our partners. May their hearts’ desire for our marriages and for the upcoming marriages of their children be a living testimony to this world that with JESUS, everything is possible to keep marriages ALIVE!

I finally learned tambourine dancing! I’ve been dreaming about it since I’m in elementary.

Celebrated Hyzyd’s 2nd birthday in a special way with friends! I can’t believe it too that I’m married to a suave, sexy, smart, and strong partner for three sweet years already!

We survived the flood that hit the city!

This is the year I started to explore colorful shoes like blue and red!

One of the greatest gift we had on year 2010 is that we finally booked our flight to Philippines! We could finally spend our summer vacation in Philippines on April 2011. I can’t wait to see our love ones.

I thank God for my family. They are my inspiration. Because of my hubby and my son, I became the woman God wants me to be- a wife and a mom . Because of them, I embraced not to seek fame but to serve others. Because of them, I drew closer to God and I’m driven to do something greater than my image because I know that my eternal reward is greater than anything I can drive, wear, live in, or hang on a wall.

I thank God for my friends -those that I could interact physically and those whom I met in blogosphere (you know who you are..he..he..) . Thank you all for being such good friends. You are always around when I need you, always willing to listen when I need to talk, and always ready to organize something fun when I need a break. You are one of the most important people in my life, and when I count my blessings I always think of you. You were always around to lend a hand and tell a joke. I appreciate that more than you know.

I thank God for everything! Year 2011 is here and I can’t wait to explore new opportunities and new adventures with the Lord. Amidst everything (amidst my drama on new year) , I could say, “I have indeed a blessed and happy new year to look forward to!”

Happy New Year everybody!

   What a great way to start 2011….so many things to be thankful about.

   Just browsing my old posts and came across your comment in one of them so I thought I'd come by and say hi…from a [former] teacher to another. Just like you, I also ventured out of the Phils to teach and it was one of my most cherished memories.

   Have a blessed 2011!
