Year-ender giveaway

2010 has been a wonderful year and I'm thankful for everyone I met and came to know all year round. To those I just met, we have next year to get to know each other all the more--oh I'm so excited!

As usual, I would like to end this year with a giveaway. This time, my contest would be pretty simple. All I want to know is your answer to this question.

What are you most thankful for this year?


For these and for many wonderful things... people, like you!

Just post on my WALL your answer so I would know how to contact you back. I'll be giving away lots of beauty prizes from my favorite brands, gift certificates and more! Be my lucky winner and let me share with you more smiles as this wonderful year comes to a close.

If I reach 100 hugs or 1,000 likers on my Fan Page, whichever comes first, I'll include special prizes :)
If I reach 1,000 likers before the year ends, the winner will get a special prize so please help me by inviting your friends and by posting about this giveaway on your walls, blogs, etc. :) There'd be consolation prizes up for grabs too! I won't reveal the prizes yet, as I want you to join not because of a prize, you know. And because I want to encourage the act of being grateful, I'm counting each "what I'm thankful for" answer as one entry. Let's open up our hearts to this wonderful season of love. So excited to know what's making you all tick. :)

  3. I am thankful my husband and I decided to have a baby again. The first one was an accident and came at a time when we were not ready yet, financially and emotionally. And now, after six years, we're having our second pregnancy with a little more money on the side and a lot stronger heart.

    I am also thankful to God that he is giving me trials for it his way of developing me to be a stronger person than i was before. hey, you can't live your life being all soft & gooey,right? you have to be made up of sterner stuff! the 'i eat nails for breakfast' type...LOL (exaggeration of course!haha)

    i'm thankful that i have my 'pare' with me, who has been with me through thick & thin. Love you,pare! hehe

    im ever thankful for the blog support/love messages that i get from my blog readers. nothing beats the feeling of knowing that the posts that you work so hard for researching & testing is very well appreciated by the readers.

    i'm thankful that my students are still with me for years. in online teaching, students can just stop having classes with you when they feel like it, but my students have been with me for 2+ years & i love them to bits! They are a part of my life now.

  7. My life is full of ups and downs (as most lives are). But I try very hard not to complain because God has given me so many blessings this year. Not just in terms of material things, since I've won a couple of online contests (I'm a contest freak) but also in terms of personal relationships. I couldn't be happier with the way things are going between my "special friend" and I, as well as the bond I have with my family. Those are things that you cherish for the rest of your life and no amount of money can replace that.

    Furthermore, simply waking up in the morning to face another day (no matter how challenging it is) is already a blessing in itself. I'm healthy and have a chance to be a better person, improve my life, and brighten someone else's.

  8. I am thankful for my family who supported me to the toughest decision I had ever made in my entire life (so far), and that is to work abroad - far from home, my family, my angel. And have to spend my birthday, Christmas, and New Year alone. They all gave me the strength I need to face each day alone.

    I am thankful for my ever loving boyfriend, my angel, who had been loving me over nine years of relationship. He is God's greatest gift to me.

  9. "Just to be alive is a grand thing." I live by this quote all my life because I believe that the mere fact that we are seeing another day is already a blessing. I am thankful that God gave me another year to see the wonders of this world.

    I thank Him for allowing me to grieve and face sorrows because now I have a better appreciation of things. I now savor and treasure each moment of my life as if it were the last.

    I'm thankful for my loved ones, my family and friends who are always there to support me.

    I'm thankful for my job, for new opportunities.

    I'm just so thankful for everything that God bestowed me this year. I'm so grateful. And, thank you for making me realize that I am so blessed!<3

    More Power to your blog!

  11. Hi Kumi,

    Decided to post my answer here because I'm not sure if I had enough space on your wall :p
    I like the idea that we should reflect on the

    I am thankful for:

    -My awesome husband who never fails to give me all the love & support I need and also, for giving me the freedom to do what I love despite all the hassles it brings on his part.

    -My supportive parents who never gave up on me even when I felt like giving up on myself.

    -My 6 crazy brothers who toughened me up well to prepare me for the real world while never failing to make me laugh.

    -My wild lola who is turning 90 this December, has acted as my guardian for all my life. She gave up having her own family to take care of my brothers and I.

    -My nutty bestfriend who, after 16 years, has stood by my side through all the good and bad.

    -My new friends for showing me that time is not the test of true friendship.

    -My psychotic dog, Lucian, for providing me with companionship, entertainment & protection every day.

    -My work which I can do in the comforts of our home.

    -My quirky blog which keeps me sane by letting me express myself in more ways than one.

    -All the prizes I won from joining contests this year (including the one I won from your previous contest :D).

    -Technology because even if all my loved ones are far away from me, I will still get to enjoy Christmas with them through phone calls, emails & Skype.

    The idea that there is always something to be grateful for every day.

    and lastly,

    -The fact that God has given me 28 years to enjoy life!

  13. I always wake up to a beautiful day thankful to God because without Him everything else wouldn't be possible.

    I am most thankful to have the best people on earth. My ever loving and ever supportive hubby and my kids for being my inspiration, for the unconditional love they've been giving me and for always being there no matter what happens.

    I am thankful to be part of this great site that provides a sense of belonging.

    Of course, I am profoundly grateful to be alive and to be experiencing such a wonderful life.

    I’m sure there are still many more things I don’t mention here.

    So learn to appreciate what you have and you will realize what a blessed life you have.

  14. I am most thankful for..

    First of all, My FAMILY :)
    without them I wouldn't be where I am right now. I thank God for having a complete and happy family. They're the ones I need. And they are always there for me whenever.

    Secondly, my FRIENDS :)
    They are God's precious gifts to me. They are the ones I share stories with and laugh with all along.

    And lastly, I'm thankful for my boyfriend, who, no matter what happens is always there for me, always ready to listen to me and loves me as who I am.

  15. Well I have a lot to be thankful for this year.

    I'm thankful for being able to graduate last March. I'm thankful for being able to spend time with my family at home because it took awhile before I was able to find a job. But now I'm very thankful for finding a job that I like. I'm thankful for the times when things don't go my way because God always proves to me that His ways are better. I'm thankful for the gift of family and friends because with them around, I always feel loved.

    Actually come to think of it, I'm thankful for everything that has happened this year. Bad or good; everything happens for a reason. :)

  16. I thank God everyday for the gift of life. Just the fact that I still can breathe and another day, another year has been given to me to enjoy the goodness of life is such a wonderful blessing.

    Life, not only for me but also for the people that I love. Our family has had a tough trial to face with my mom's breast cancer but thankfully, she survived. And she's prettier and livelier than ever. :)

    The end of school life is the beginning of a more responsible adult life. Less burden for parents and a new challenge for me. Thankfully, I'm earning and will earn more in the coming days. :) And what I'm really grateful for is that even university life is over, the bond with my fiercest friends is not and will never be. Miles or deadlines can never break us apart.

    And of course, talking about life, there's also love life! We just turned 7 this year and we are working hard to break the 7-year itch or jinx. Haha! So far, so good. :)

    And thanks to you, I realized that I'm really blessed. Counting my blessings is such a heartwarming experience. :)

  18. What I am most thankful for this year~

    Year 2010 is definitely one heck of a year!

    I faced lots of challenges along the way, sometimes exciting, sometimes confusing, sometimes even heartbreaking. However, moments with friends and families are enough to call 2010 perfect.

    As Tracy Trunblad puts it, "The road is full of twists and turns, but that’s the road that got us here." ♥

    I am really, really thankful for the passing year for teaching me to be open to possibilities of me doing great things, both in work and in play. <3

  22. hi kumiko! 2010 has been really memorable for me and, though it sounds cliche, i really owe a lot to my boyfriend. in march, he helped me find an apartment, move my stuff, and provided support as i learned to live on my own for the very first time. it was both exciting and scary, and i really couldn't have done it without him cheering me on. in july, we celebrated our sixth year as a couple (we're college sweethearts, lol) and, considering all the soap-opera-worthy drama we've endured together, it was really quite a feat to have stayed with each other as long as we have. in october, he lost his job when the company decided to close his entire department. even now, it's tough as we try to regain financial stability but he continues to be incredibly generous to me and even to others. it's from him that i learned that happiness comes from making others happy, and that it's even more valuable when you only have a little to give. i'm thankful for my boyfriend, not only for 2010 but for all the years before and for all the years ahead.

  28. The most grateful things of all is thanking God for all the blessings he has given us. And one of those great blessings to be thankful of this year is having a so loving and supportive parents. I admired them a lot that's why I want to give my "BIG Thank You" to my beloved parents... My mom who until now is taking care of us, giving her unconditional love and devoted her life to us. My dad who who gives selfless love to us, a responsible father that he even sacrificed to work overseas just to support us in all aspects. A great dad because he, together with my mom, they raised me well to be good enough as a person. So who I am now is because of them. And because of their hardworks and supports, I'm proud to say that I'm a Registered Nurse now, a good daughter, sister and fellowmen. I owe all of that to them and most especially to our creator above, our God. :))

    Again, My BIG "Thanks" to my beloved parents. I love you both! =)

    How about you? What are you most thankful for this year? Kindly Share Us , too. :)
