SPOON - Thank you

I've been a bit under the weather for the past few days, it was also the reason why I decided to take a vacation leave last Friday. Well considering also the "weather" isn't really that great either. Yesterday I stayed in bed most of the day, sleeping, watching TV and trying to catch my breath, I had asthma and a clogged nose combo meal. Hahahahaha.

Since I was on a TV marathon, I ran across this TV show, its a cooking slash talk show called "SPOON" and it is hosted by Janice de Belen in Net 25. Well to be honest I've seen this show several times before, specially during times that I cannot sleep at night. I like the show, though I'm really not into cooking but I guess it's the talk show part that I'm fascinated on.

I'm not a Janice de Belen fan, I really didn't like her hosting style in "SIS" for the reason that it's really evident that they are reading some idiot board and the fact that they (Janice, Gelli and Carmina) are always shouting. I don't know maybe they think shouting makes their scripts fascinating.... I think not.

Hosting "Spoon" is a different thing.... yesterday her guest was Clair Dela Fuente. Aside from the fact that I like the disk that they cooked, they posted an interesting conversation. Nothing deep, it was more on how Claire spends her time and what she was at home, as a Mom and as a business woman. Little did I know that Claire's husband already passed away. As she was telling the story, I was amazed with her words saying that even though she had lost her husband there are still a lot of things to be thankful of... reasons to be happy and reasons for continuing life.

Wow, I was amazed with her words. To be honest right now I really have lots of questions going on my mind .... with things that has been happening with us. Things that makes me question God's will and plans for us. A lot of "whys" .... but with what I've heard with Claire and Janice.... I've realized some things that I never though of before. Things that I could have taken for granted. Even though we're experiencing a non comfortable situation, we're still blessed in someways.

I tried reflecting and counting the things I have right now.... I can say I'm still blessed even though challenged. To start my list of blessings, I'm still alive!! after being in an ICU last year, I'm still ok and I'm still strong.Second is that even though my Dad is working abroad, were complete. There's open communication and our relationship is at its best. We're still eating 3 times a day,despite the increase in prices, there are even times when we eat more than 3 times. The luxury of driving my own car to work, despite the increase in oil prices, having the luxury of having a cable TV, DVD and an unlimited DSL Internet access for entertainment and relaxation. So many things to be thankful. Spoon - Thank you.....
