7 Got another steal! A book originally priced 269 Philippine pesos, sold for only 161.50 PHP. "English-French: My First Book of Words & Pictures." I was never really into studying French, but after finding the book, I gave myself a chance. 😊 The book is suited for kids aged 0-3, so it's perfect for me! Ha ha ha ha! Reading French words gave me a fulfilling sense of renewal. It just gave me a satisfying feeling of freshness. Looking at the colorful pictures also made me feel secure and pleased. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you! --> N******* B********. 

6 Thank you, Pipi and Kouki, for your Valentine message of love for A*** sensei. 

5 Thanks, Friendster Orlan, for the "long overdue" presents that you gave me --- an earth-friendly flashlight (Doesn't make use of batteries. All you have to do is squeeze it like hand grips ... harnesses physical power and voila! It's charged!), a workout dvd, and a cd called "Relaxation World - Music Mix Mp3". 

4 Thanks, L*******, for selling reasonably-priced blouses (₱199.75!). I absolutely love my latest finds. Maternity-style tops in 3 colors --- brown, maroon, and violet. Thanks to you, too, my spirit, for being at peace with femininity. Now, I don't have problems anymore about wearing blouses with low necklines and "peasant" sleeves. 

3 Thanks, Oprah, for introducing me to the idea of keeping a Gratitude Journal. I haven't done this in a while, and just listing the items here makes me feel so much better. 

2 Thanks, Dr. R*** C*****, for being instrumental in making me aware of my body's condition that eventually led to my long-aspired-for weight loss. 

1 Thanks, Anne, for taking good care of your body --- eating the right food and going for walks. You've lost almost 20 lbs! Keep it up! You can maintain a healthy weight for the rest of your life. You WILL maintain a healthy weight for as long as you live.
