Gratitude. Aside from being the name of my beloved section when I was but a high school sophomore, it's something I want to give to several people today, by acknowledging them here in my little unknown corner of the cyberspace universe.

Lorenz ~ Thanks for being super nice to me ever since we met. I love how you're not a snob at all and always say hi when we see each other around campus. Plus you talk to me and to ask how life is and stuff. Friendliness like yours is something rare, and I really appreciate it. :)

Howell ~ For the 20 merit points. :D Hahaha... Kidding. Well, of course I'm thankful to you for that (especially being gutsy enough to raise your hand immediately and confidently), but I thank you more for the Christmas gift (really, it's adorable; and i love personalized things!), and for being a great writing buddy. :)

Lysch ~ For bringing my jug up to Math when I accidentally left it on the Zen Garden benches. Thank youuu!

Balucs (I'd like to call you Ian but parang hindi bagay..haha) ~ Maraming salamat po sa inyong pag-alala sa kapakanan ko. I appreciate the concern, the jokes, your listening to me kanina, the advice, and the sympathy. Thank you talaga, it was comforting. :)

Ja and Jo ~ For being super duper nice to me all the time! All those times you guys supported me, helped me out (esp. in, ugh, Math), kept me company, and made smile and laugh when I really need it. Thank you, you are angels :) Of course, I love the rest of our block too!

Mi-chan ~ For always coming to fetch me upstairs and escort me to lunch! Haha.. Thank you for saving me from near insanity. There is NO ONE I can talk to you-know-where. Not a single soul. Dontcha just miss all those passing-notes-with-sensei-reading-over-our-shoulders days? I know I do. ^_^

Charz and R ~ For noticing I wasn't my usual chipper self and trying to cheer me up. Thanks!

Christa ~ Thanks for the ballpen :) Although I shouldn't have borrowed it na noh? Not as if the people in Matteo don't have ballpens.. but no, special kase yung sa yo eh, hahaha! I'm so glad you were there pa kanina, thought you left na. And, thank you very very very much for that hug! I really needed it, more than you can imagine.

Issa ~ Thank you for caring, Issa. It means a lot to me. Thank you so much. You don't have to hesitate next time, just go ahead, I'd really appreciate a friend's presence. :)

   And for anyone else who cares...

   Right now? I'm not okay. But I will be.

p.s. Kathryn where were you? I passed by your Eng/Lit room around 3:19 but you were all gone. And as usual, you didn't answer your phone (ahem I got disconnected--someone ended the caaall) or text me back. :(

p.p.s. There is a quote in this entry. Can you guess what it is, where it's from, and who said it?  

Hint: it's from an old cartoon show I first watched in Canada (no, not Pokémon)
