A single moment of true joy is more powerful than a lifetime of sorrow.

got up on the wrong side of the bed...power outage...missed Showtime...enduring extreme heat...too many things to be thankful for still. 2:15 PM Apr 8th via web

That's one of my posts on twitter yesterday. Although, drained and surly, I had the feeling that there are still too many things to be thankful for no matter how bad things around may seem. True enough, just a few minutes after, I received a package delivered by LBC. Lila had already sent her very early birthday present for me. Aww... For the next couple of minutes I was in a dilemma whether to open it OR wait til the date of the anniversary of my birth. The pull from the "open it" side was stronger so I grabbed a pair of scissors to aid me in opening the package. I found a stack of Bacolod goodies & a pink bag. It made my day.




Hafta be honest enough, though. I can't be on cloud nine enough because I can eat none of the goodies. First thing I did was check each labels for allergy alert. And, there it goes, my most fave local delicacy (Barquillos) announced right to my face that "I can't eat it!" Too bad. *frowns*




But, am still happy, don't get me wrong. The thought that a friend from far away place bothered sending me birthday presents is more than enough reason for me to celebrate, right? She made me feel how special I am. Well, anyone can do the same, ok. But, thing is, Lila has been suffering from so much pain with her pregnancy. Her knees are also giving her such a hard time to walk. Yet, she found her way to buy these delicacies and had them delivered fast. So sweet of her.

...and there's also a very short note. Nothing tear-jerky but I can feel so much sincerity in it.

Am thankful and happy. :)

Just want to share. Toodle-oo!
