My Gratitude List

As I am sitting in my English teachers' classroom while working working on my blog, I hear my stomach growl. I look around my surroundings, and think about how I have so much to be thankful for.

1. I am thankful for my family. I am super grateful that I have a family like them and never seem to bring me down as much as they annoy me sometimes. I'm glad that they've been by side since day one.
2. I am thankful for my friends. Whats life like without them? The answer to that is very boring. They make my day with funny jokes and insults and they just make me smile. I'm glad I get to see them in school everyday so even my school day won't be boring either.
3. I am thankful for Darren Espanto. I'm glad I found out about him so I have something to look forward to listening everyday while doing homework, or something to wake up to so I can look on his recent posts on social media. (I know I'm weird but you have to tell me you do it too!)
4. I'm thankful for food. I am super thankful for waking up in the morning to have breakfast on my plate and having lunch and dinner as well. Oh and being able to eat junk food. :)
5. I am thankful for my home. I am glad that I live in a warm shelter with people that I love and make memories from.
6. I am thankful for music. I cannot stand a day without listening to music. If you make me do that I'll go crazy! I feel like without music, days will be gloomier, the sky will be darker, and everyone will always be sad. So I'm glad that someone created music in this world.
7. I am thankful for my country/nationality. I am thankful, proud, and glad to be Filipino. I am thankful for all the traditions my Filipino family have every holiday and just being able to go to the Philippines to see the lifestyle there.
8. I'm thankful for technology. I'm thankful for the invention of computers and phones to communicate with friends and having social media. And of course, having Google for an open encyclopedia, dictionary, or just having an open world of the internet on my hands.
9. I am thankful for school and being able to have an education. I know, I know, school sucks. I agree with that too, but imagine that this is a step on being successful in your future.
10. And lastly, I am thankful for my health and being able to go to places I want to go and having the strength to.

Food, Glorious Food!

Whenever my parents would ask me what I would like for dinner, I would most likely just ask to order a pizza. But not any kind of pizza...Giordano's pizza! I love Giordano's pizza, especially the cheese stuffed deep dish pizza. The reason why I love it so much is because once you take that bite of thick, crispy, crust, and about 10 inches of melted cheese topped off with just a delicious mess of sizzling sauce, it makes me think of all my fears and troubles vanishing away as the sauce and cheese start to warm my stomach. Did I get you hungry? Because I just did, yes I just got myself hungry. But once you take that second bite, its like your just having a normal day eating a slice of pizza. Relatable?
