Something to be Thankful.

It all began with a wish, a dream until it came true.

Maybe it sounds unbelievable and funny but whenever I post about something I wish I had, God always bless me the gift of making that wishes came into reality. I am always thankful that God always answer my prayers and bless me more than I wished for.


Wish Number 1: Nokia 6600



Back in 2006, I wished for a Nokia 6600 for my 19th birthday. At that time it was too expensive, I'm still studying and I don't have enough money to buy it. But my generous and ever loving parents bought me the dream phone I wanted. Viola, I am the happiest girl. It was their bonggang birthday gift for me.
 
 This was the actual photo of my N6600 with so many blings.  
Medyo low resolution pa yung ginamit ko na camera before vga lang ata yan.


Wish Number 2: Havaianas Flip flops


Since high school I've been reading glossy magazines like Candy and Seventeen where I saw some of the models wearing the expensive tsinelas called Havaianas. It was expensive for us because we're not the rich type family. We are happy with our simple less-P100.00 tsinelas. It was not a thing to me back then. When I reach my 3rd year in college,  I saw some college students wearing Havaianas and I said to myself  "Sana makabili din ako ng ganyan soon..." So life goes on by just looking at them in the magazine and dreaming and wishing that someday I will have my own pair of Havaianas (kahit isa lang)... After college, I got a work. After 5 months working, my contract was ended. I received a terminal benefit and from that I ask my mom if I can buy a Havaianas. Even if it was my hard earned money, I still asked permission from my mom. And of course she said yes. We went to Alabang Town Center to purchase my very first Havaianas Flip flops.

 This was my first Havaianas Flip flops. 

And now, as I posted this blog. We already bought many Havaianas, it was our main slippers now a days. We always have a pair at home. It became an everyday flip flops.

Wish number 3: iPhone4s

 I always wish to have an iPhone... when I posted about it, iPhone 4s was the latest version it has. It was too expensive for us to get it. So it was just a dream for me. I never expected that a day will come that I'll be using an iPhone. But God really finds a way. A contest sponsored by Max's Restaurant was held. By eating at Max's you can win an iPhone 4s. Max's was my mom's favorite restaurant. We always eat there, always means most of the time... Hahaha. When I saw their flyers about the contest, I join without expecting just imagining things that what if I win. So, I gave it a try and luckily I won I won. I was so happy and overwhelming. For a hundreds who joined the contest, I am one of the luckiest who won the price. Thanks God for making a way in granting my wish. Thank you so much God Almighty.

 This is their ad for the contest.

This is the announcement of winner. I'm the first one the list.
 
And here's the actual photo of my iPhone4s who is almost on its 4th yr with me.

Wish Number 4: Toyota Avanza



When all your relative, on the mother side,  had their own car, you also wish you had your own too. I was dreaming of owning a Toyota Avanza. It was really my dream car. Simple. Not too expensive like the other type/brand but we still can't afford it. So, its stay just a dream for us. But, God has a better way of showing his love to us. It was October 2010 when we had our first vehicle. An owner type jeep. Maybe its not uso na but we loved it. It takes us to the places we've never been. It takes us to a place where we want to go and chill. But God has a bigger heart for us. He want us to be comfortable, especially my mom, who is a senior citizen who had a hard time sumakay to our owner type jeep. So the beautiful day of May 21, 2014 came. It was the day that a Toyota Wigo was sent to us. It was not an Avanza but we loved it. It was really a gift from God who give us the guts and courage to take a step in making a car loan. And for 2 years now, our Wiggle (the name I gave to our Wigo) takes us to more places in a more comfortable way. It was with us during some special occasion of our life.And I'll be forever grateful that God bless us with what we really needed. Thanks God Almighty for all the blessings that He gave us.

This was our Wiggle, the Toyota Wigo E A/T 2014 model in Silver Metallic
