it's rather late right now and my eyes are beginning to feel the pull of gravity on the eyelids and eyebags. but listening to steven curtis chapman right now, i realised that i've many things to be thankful to God for. so here is the list of stuff that i'm extremely grateful for:

1. the invention of cookies. bite size snacks. nothing beats having them for breakfast.
2. the roof over my head. the pink furniture in my room. the fact that the air con in my room is the only one that's working.
3. the way the sky looked this evening. it was spectacular God!
4. the comfort of rubbing my bf's tummy.
5. the family he has put me in. hard to imagine since i grumble abt the following members quite often. But without them, i won't be the person i am now: the bits that i'm proud, ashamed, amused and tickled about.
6. all of my friends who have always treated me better than i really do deserve. they do make up a part of my life that is badly in need of companionship but too proud and *yes* lazy to admit. they bring me out of my neurosis when i've gone mad after spending too much time with myself
7. the subject that i'm studying. Literature. words, poetry, images. it's been an uphill battle at times, trying to understand the hows and whys. sometimes, i daydream abt how people in heaven communicate with each other. do they just think and do like mental projections. do they really talk? i wonder... but words are such amazing blocks of life on earth and You are the chief cornerstone of them all.
8. for keeping Your word God on every matter in my life. too wonderful for words. sometimes it's a little scary too. but oh too marvellous for words.
9. for sweet sweet sleep. with dreams or without, i'm still thankful for it.
and 10. as i hear my dad wake up, going to the toilet, spitting and going back to bed, i'm just thankful that i've got the chance to be thankful abt the little things. thanks God for caring and knowing about the little things.
