Today Didn't Start Out Well, But It's OK
Hello there, Friday!
I miss the usual you ... the Friday that spells out TGIF. It's been three months now since you have become just a regular work day. I can no longer count on you as the day I excitedly leave work early, go home, and just chill. Or free the night to meet up with friends who are in town for just a little over the weekend, or even schedule a trip right before Saturday. I sooo miss Friday night outs. But sacrifices have to be made.
Dear NCIS Los Angeles,
When are you going to air episode 8? I need my regular fix of DenSi and SaLlen (totally making this up).
Dear service providers in the Philippines,
There is such a thing as good customer service. I really don't get why this seems to be not in your vocabulary. Please step up and make it a goal to cause as little inconvenience to your customers as possible. Know that we value our time, especially us who are on graveyard shifts. We cannot simply take a break from work to do errands. We actually wait long hours after shift just so we can make transactions with offices that usually open at 9 or 10 am. When you don't do your jobs well, you waste our time - time we could have spent with our loved ones, or spent doing something productive like heading home early to avoid the rush hour, cooking, or sleeping (which is kind of important, too). There, rant over.
Dear Calligraphy,
Thanks for showing up in my life. You are a super stress-reliever. I'm still learning your every curve, every line. And I am willing to do drills every morning, every day to achieve perfection, coz you deserve nothing less.
Dear Mamang,
Please be healthy always. I love you beyond words!
Dear Love,
I'll know it's you when I no longer have to act so prim and proper, when I can let go of my inhibitions, when I can stop putting my best foot forward, when I can make mistakes, act silly, and be sometimes over the top annoying and unreasonable, but you love me still. And look at me with caring eyes, like it just hit you that you love this girl in front of you. By then, I'll be the happiest girl. And by then I know that moments with you will always be filled with laughter, hopes, and dreams. And of course, filled with little steps in building our future together.
Dear God,
My endless gratitude for all your blessings every single day. I am so guilty of complaining lately - how sometimes things don't work out as planned, how horrendous the traffic is in Metro Manila, how it's still inconvenient to commute to McKinley Hill, how I'm not getting enough sleep, how I miss waking up in the morning, feeling fresh. I am really so sorry. I cannot fathom how deep a man's greed can be, and how we wish life to be perfect to a tee. It's dangerous when left unchecked. When I think about it, I didn't really have a prayer that was left unanswered. And my complaints are only inconsequential things - things that do not really need my attention because there are far greater and beautiful things You have graciously placed in my life. Thank You for the favors, dear Father. I am not worthy, but Yours is the kind of love that sees beyond my imperfections.

This is such a nice and sincere post ^-^ I love the post you wrote to love itself, never would have thought of doing that. Lovely idea to put all these little letters in one post!

Hi Envy,
DeleteThanks for checking out my blog. :) This kind of post was once a link party hosted by Ashley of the Sweet Season (thesweetseasonblog.com). Even after she has stopped hosting this, The Friday's Letters has already become a routine. I love how it summarizes my week in a single post, plus, I have fun writing it. ^^ Thanks again for dropping by. :)
