Yesterday was a holiday in my home city, Quezon City. It was Manuel Quezon’s birth anniversary, so I spent the morning knitting this scarf using my luxurious Furls needles and The Attic Yarn and Craftery yarn.
I am thankful for needles and yarns that encourage me to create, carry on, and share my works both here on my blog and with my loved ones, whenever I gift them with the scarves that I make.
Another reason to be thankful is my lunch with our loyal helper Racquel. We ate at Mister Kabab, which is a favorite of ours. I had my usual, which is the special chicken chelo kabab. I paired it with yogurt shake.
I am thankful for all the help that I can get. Loyalty is something that is rare nowadays, and I am really lucky that my family has Racquel to help us make it through each day.
We also watched Quezon’s Game for free, thanks to the City Hall. It was the perfect way to pay tribute to the man after whom our city was named.
I am thankful for movies that promote nationalism through tasteful portrayals of history. I am more keen on films that teach lessons rather than just promote mindless entertainment. At 33, I must say that my tastes for film and books have definitely improved.
I am thankful to still be alive to eat, create, and appreciate art. I can’t wait to enjoy more blessings this year, and beyond!
