I hereby propose the establishment of our own Thanksgiving Day here in our country.
In the United States, they annually celebrate Thanksgiving Day and they fete it on the fourth Thursday of November, which was yesterday. This is a traditional holiday for them and its primary purpose is to express their gratitude at the conclusion of harvest season.
We don't have Thanksgiving Day here in the Philippines. Is it because we don't have something to be thankful for? We have lots, mind you. Let me lay down some of them for you. We own a language. We are independent. We have an unusual disposition, we are always cheerful even in times of despair. We have a wide array of native delicacies. We embrace and harbor arts. We are blessed with natural resources. We gather in the dining table every Noche Buena. We practice bayanihan. And these are only a smattering of what we should be appreciative for. So my proposition? Our own Thanksgiving Holiday. But we will not only celebrate it once a year. Not twice. But everyday. Although the items listed above are often overshadowed by the rather bad experiences that we go through as a nation, we must always look to a brighter day. Everyday is a new day, consider it a blessing, not a bane. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
Thanks thanks. 
Funny! Cleverly written. Nice blog!

Posted by arjay at November 24, 2007, 1:41 pmMay mga festival namang nagbibigay pasasalamat sa magagandang ani - pero pamprobinsya lamang ito. At hindi ito tulad sa Amerika na malawakan at ipinagdiriwang ng sambayanan.
Happy Thanksgiving rin!
Parang di ako sanay mambati ng Happy Thanksgiving. Hahaha.

THANKSGIVING… hmmm. I’m with the rest of the world when it’s thanksgiving. We don’t have the turkey and all that foodfest, but I usually express my gratitude to the people I should be thankful for. Text message lang, hihi.

Posted by yoshke at December 4, 2007, 7:15 amI was spawned in the same year Alfredo Stroessner was overthrown, and on the same day the Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly met for the first time.
I am currently in college, taking up Bachelor of Arts Major in Economics and Bachelor of Science in Commerce Major in Advertising Management. I hold two majors, ergo the academic bane I will be experiencing is doubled. But so far, I have not yet swooned, thank God.
I am a control freak. 'Nuff said.
My usual McDonald's meal is comprised of Quarter Pounder, large fries and Coke, extra gravy and vanilla milkshake.
It is in my nature to assume responsibility. I often contemplate about the complexity of life.
I tend to shrink from social contacts and become preoccupied with my own thoughts. I often isolate myself from the pool. Don't get me wrong though. I am not deprived of friends; in fact, I have a bunch of good chums. It is always quality over quantity for me. I don't go for braggy and ostentatious people; I loathe them.
I am not really adept in writing so pardon my tense inconsistencies of verbs, wrong usage of conjunctions and preposition, incorrect separation of paragraphs, faulty usage of colons and semi-colons, et cetera.
Respect begets respect. You're free to judge and read. But please observe proper netiquette - internet etiquette.
merry christmas!
Merry Christmas! and best wishes for the New Year.
