Today we celebrate Mother's Day . A special day where we are given the chance to thank and acknowledge the only woman who would love us forever and ever -- our Mom. This year, I'd like to say thank you to the three special women in my life... To my Amah , who continuous to keep herself updated with our lives. She's my biggest fan -- from supporting my culinary dreams to being the proudest grandma in her group who would brag about our achievements -- big or small. My Amah is the sweetest person I know, she never complains nor demands anything from us, she appreciates the littlest things that we do and finds joy in the simplest way. Amah, wo ai ni :) To my soon-to-be Mother-in-Law, Auntie Baby . while we rarely get to see each other that often, I enjoy every single dinner spent with her as she continuous to reach out and gives us sound advice. I'm thankful that she welcomed me into her family and I look forward to more bonding moments in the near future. :) Thank...

Look what greeted my tonight after spending the entire day taking care of my mom at the hospital? The biggest Toblerone bar that I've ever seen! I can't wait to share this with my grandparents, parents and of course Paul! This is what Valentine's Day is all about, spreading the love to everyone! Thanks so much Toblerone and GMCI! *hugs* Valentine's Day 101 Speaking of love and celebrating Valentine's Day, Toblerone will help us enjoy the day with our loved ones minus the cost.

Rarely do we get to hear this statement anymore...It's funny because this was actually one of the first things that we were taught in nursery along with the words Please and Sorry . Thankfully, Toblerone Philippines launched the National Thank You Day where we take a little time out of our busy schedule to say THANK YOU to all those who has played a part in making our lives wonderful. Today, I'd like to say thank you to.... ...my family for being so supportive and caring. ...the love of my life, Paul , for coming at the right time and at the right place and for loving me unconditionally. ...my bestest friends in the world who I know I can count on at all times *hugs*. ... Scottie , the newest member of our family, thank you for brightening up my day ... everyone reading this, for sharing my passion and for making my dreams come true. How about you? Who do you want to thank today? Btw, don't forget to send in your entries for the Toblerone Photo Contest !

Two years ago, Anton Diaz of OAP launched a micro-site and a mini contest where he invited readers to send in their most creative THANK YOU message. I wasted no time and got down to work. With a box full of colorful paper clips and a sturdy illustration board, I carefully formed the word one letter at a time. After taking a decent photo of my paper clip art work, I did a little magic on Photoshop and tadah! I proudly submitted my simple labor of love dedicated to the man of my dreams . Paul is one of the four pillars of my life (the three others being my dad, mom and Pan, my younger sister) . He has been there constantly rooting for me to go beyond what I can do and at the same time he keeps me grounded too. He has been there not only for me but for the rest of our family during our highs and our lows. It's amazing to see how much my entire family has warmly welcomed him and now treat him like their own son/grandson/big brother/nephew. I guess it's pretty obvious that God ha...

O ne of the things i've learned even before i went to kindergarten was to say THANK YOU . I say thank you to practically everyone who has went out of their way for me or who has helped me even in the tiniest way. In line with Toblerone's National Thank You Day , here's an artwork that I've created for Paul. http://www.thankyou.ph/2007/10/thank-you-to-paul.html Likewise, I would like to say thank you to everyone who's reading this right now. Yep! I'd like to thank YOU for being a part of my technicolored life. To my high school friends who has always been there since day 1, to my work buddies a.k.a. colleagues who makes my corporate roller coaster ride much more exciting (in a good way ha) and yes, to the friends whom i've met in the most unlikely places T H A N K Y O U!!
