100 things that I am grateful for

Okay, so this is not exactly an original post, but I think it is extremely fun to do. It gives me time to think about things too. In random order.

1) My Family. My rock.

2) My friends who proved to be the ones who I can depend on. (And who doesn't accuse me of making zero effort of keeping in touch because they know I am busy! Hello! Nak aku terhegeh2 say hi to you every week ke when you are pretty much doing the same thing? Macam takde keje. Don't like it, go suck a lemon!)

3) My job that pays me enough for the little whims and pleasures in life.

4) Uche. I thank him because I found out that if I wasn't in love with him, I would have been a totally different person right now.

5) Wiwa. My ride rocks.

6) My sense and sensibility.

7) My strength as a woman.

8) Terry Pratchett.

9) High heels. I look 100% hotter wearing them?

10) A certain gentleman by the initials of EA. He reminded me that I am lovable and I am gorgeous just the way I am.

11) Gym. I won't be as hot (Eceh) as I am without the gruelling two hours daily routine.

12) My boss in NY. He makes fun of me being 30 and all (He is 28) but I can't think of a better Boss then him. He is also cool because out of the office, he is a friend I can depend on. Also, my boss in KL. I can be as honest as I can with him, somehow I know he's got my back.

13) Multi tiered shoe racks. A god send for a shoe freak like me.

14) Dorothy Perkins and Debenhams for having the only jeans that would flatter my gedoink gedoink.

17) The smell of rain, for reminding me of the simple things that make me happy.

18) Perfume and shower gel. Imagine a world without one... Eww.

19) My ear for rhythm. I wouldn't be able to recognize the super cool sounds of Marvin Gaye, Coltrane, Shirley Bassey and the likes if I don't. I'd die if I am to be stuck in teeny boppy bimbo music land.

20) Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia... yummm...

21) Bottomless drinks at Chilli's. Heh...

22) Hip Hop and R&B. What would I do without them? (I'd probably be stuck humming Barbie Girl or anything from Abba over and OVER again.

23) The Sims and RPG games. I'd be one boring mamita if these are not around.

24) Boh original honey flavored tea. I swear the best thing since ... beer.

25) The fact that we can have fresh produce all year round. What would I do without vegies?

26) Valium (No I am not a druggie... Just an insomniac.)
