This year has been so good to me and there are just so many things to be thankful for.
I may not be able to fly to my dream destinations, but I was still very lucky to fly to Indonesia for free. I may have lost my iPhone 6 plus in the early months of the year but I was still lucky to receive a brand new Huawei P9. I may not able to earn more money but I was still very lucky to be able to get what I need and to live a healthy meaningful life. I may not able to find the love of my life this year, but I was still very lucky to find new friends in the industry.
Of course I would not forget to be thankful to God for always giving me a chance to live and to continue living and enjoy every moment of my life.
I can just go on and on in enumerating all my blessings, but with all the gains, I’ve also experienced some loses in this year. There are difficulties and also some relief. But all in all, everything is just worth thankful for.
And before the year-end companies and PR agencies who I partnered with have manage to put up a thanksgiving party to celebrate the partnership and ever lasting support to each other. Here is a run-down of what happened in the past days.
11.22.16 Festive RTL-CBS Thanksgiving Party
RTL-CBS has been tapping me for years and I saw how they manages to always bring something new to the table. Remember one of the events I attended a few years back where I tried auditioning at the mock up X-Factor audition they created in BGC? That was fun and they maintained to always make different fun fare events to be enjoyed by the whole family. In this year’s thanksgiving party, they incorporated Filipino festivities to make a fun and memorable night of food, socials and prizes!
