"Masuwerte pa rin tayo" -- this was what my brother told me one time that we bought groceries. We actually had the same thing in mind. I don't know why he said that, but I was about to say the same thing because I saw this girl, about my age, who's bagging groceries. I thought that if some things didn't happen the way they did then I might have been the one bagging those groceries. I don't have anything against her work. It's a pretty decent job. What I'm saying is I wouldn't be enjoying most of the things I'm currently enjoying if things happened differently.
I feel lucky and blessed as I look at the things that happened to me and the things I have now. My brother and I both graduated from science high schools and good universities. We both have good jobs. We don't get things instantly, but we're able to buy things that we need and we can save up for the things we want. We get to eat at least thrice a day and we can eat the food that we want. We have a decent home and we have all the stuff we need.
And these past few days I feel more thankful because blessings are coming my way even if I don't ask for them.
We may not be rich but we're still lucky, and for that I'm very grateful.
