i never got why people celebrate their month-saries.and if you're wondering,i still dont.it seems more like an obligation every month to do so,and i wonder if the numbers mean anything at all as they get bigger.anniversaries are supposed to be memorable.each and every one.and i guess the more frequently such dates are celebrated,the faster they lose their significance.are you capable for remembering each and every of the say,200 such month-saries?dont tell me you can.coz unless you can remember 200 of ted hughes' poems word for word,its just not possible.i couldnt help but snort at the idea of females taking such an occasion as an excuse to demand flowers from the guys,or a trip to a nice fancy restaurant.cmon.you can do that every single day.why must there be a special date set for all these?

and the exams ended just in time for a some thanksgiving reflections.
the greatest thing about thanksgiving is that it makes you think about the people who have really made the difference in your life.coz these are the same people whom i owe my greatest thanks to.
i would say the greatest difference between this thanksgiving and the last is you.as i look back on these past 11 months,its hard to imagine what my life would have been like had you not been part of it.no doubt i would still be sitting here,right this instance,reflecting on the entire year,but i guess i wont have as much to be thankful for.sure,i would have pulled through the As,completed my second year,kept up with my retail therapy obsession..basically i'll still be very much where i'm now.but i dont think the entire experience would be the same.you get what i mean?its like,adding a slice of lemon to a glass of water.u reap the health benefits of taking the drink,but adding a tinge of flavor to it makes it all the better.does it not?and so i thank the Almighty above for showering his blessings upon me through you,for you are truly the zest in the mundane.
i know i thank the same group of people year after year that it has become so cliched.but all the same,i would like to give thanks for the friends around me.i dont mean mere acquaintances,but friends with whom i shared my soul,and vice versa.for being there when we were struggling with the tens and thousands of mathematical calculations,tons and tons of essays,tutorials after lectures and lectures after tutorials,the mornings we sit at the table not even having the energy to utter a word.its on hindsight that i really come to appreciate these people coz when you have them around you all the time,its hard to take a step back and be thankful of their presence.and so i thank God for such friends through whom You have changed my life.thanks for their faithfulness,patience,care,and love.
and i should be thankful too for those whom i do not know personally,like the few selective tutors and lecturers who gave such inspiring classes that made the gears in my head run at a thousand miles an hour.who allowed me to gain so much insight on reality through the text interpretations.for those thought provoking questions thrown out to engage me deeper into the texts.the many pointers on creating a beautiful essay (tho i never really got it).and for all these,i thank the Lord for allowing them to cross my path and through them,transform the way i think.
i started this post with a mind to keep it private,but i guess there is no point in keeping down the spirit of giving thanks.so,happy thanksgiving one and all.
