I had grand plans of writing about 30 people who have shaped my life. I planned on writing something about someone special each night beginning a month from my actual birthday. However, I was only able to write a few entries before getting sidetracked by exhaustion, night-outs, and TV viewing.

Since it seems I’ll never be able to force that long entry out of my system (and my self-imposed deadline is due on Saturday), I’ve decided to come up with this quick list instead. I’m not putting any elaborate reasons. These people don’t even have to know I’m thanking them. I just feel that I need to do this for my peace of mind. You know how CD sleeves have “thank you” notes on them? That’s what this is. But instead of thanking people for helping me whip up a mean CD, I’m thanking them for being instrumental in my life!

Thank you Mom, Dad, Kato, Men, A, Jared, Angkong, Ako, Ebet, Eky, Graziella, Karen, Blanche, Weng, Kaye, Leyds, Marc, Eve, Carolyn, Miren, Lisa, Noelle, Chinggay, Ines, Koko, TJ, Jo, Maan, Fat, Tin.

Aside from these people mentioned above, I want to show my gratitude to my various barkadas, orgs, and the entire Candy team (this includes the past and current staff, all the COC members, and even you. Yes, YOU!) for always, always making me feel loved. It’s an honor working for unique young spirits with a way talented, fabulous crew. Here’s hoping we’ll spend more happy years together!

Can’t thank everyone enough,
Mimi
