Thank You Day Philippines

I have a surprise for all of you readers and visitors ….but before anything else, I want to show my gratitude for the many wonderful things that have happened in my life Everyday , I face interruptions, delays, changes and challenges. I have learned an important concept to get me through this stressful time and that is gratitude. I learn to say thank you, for all these problems and feelings. I don’t like this experience but Thank You anyway.

As a gesture of my gratitude, I am giving away Thank You gifts to my readers but of course the gifts are limited so here’s how I will give it away.

1. five (5) special gifts courtesy of Toblerone. (1 thousand pesos gift certificate and Toblerone Chocolates)

You might ask, so what is Toblerone’s role on National Thank You Day?

Toblerone together with the city of Manila is trying to revive the lost art of saying “thank you” by organizing an innovative campaign specifically designed to encourage Filipinos to express gratitude more often. Through this partnership, a series of events and activities that will culminate in the October 20 Toblerone National Thank You Day to be held at the Mall of Asia. Attendees will be able to participate in a rocking concert by the country’s top bands and see their favorite celebrities. It will also serve as the venue wherein winners from the Toblerone thank-you themed contests launched nationwide can claim their prizes. In this endeavor, Toblerone, together with the city of Manila wishes to impart the message to Filipinos to not underestimate the power of the two simple words – THANK YOU.

So, let’s think of fun, creative, cutesy, funky ways to say THANK YOU.

“Gratitude is best expressed through chocolate.”

Seriously, this is how I say thank you to my friends and loved ones:

“You are heaven-sent! Thanks bunches.”

Another way:

“Galing mo! Buti na lang ‘andyan ka…salamat ha.”

“

Habol pa po:

“Sa uulitin!” -This is my line whenever I am grateful to someone for doing something nice to me without my asking. Most of the time delivered in a not so serious way, but deep in my heart, I really thanked the person.

“Thanks a million! ” -another way of expressing my gratitude

I was browsing through your previous entries when I came across this one. Thanks Ms. Noemi for this fun contest. More power!

Nothing beats taking the person you owe to a concert of a god and a goddess of Pinoy Rock – Sir Jett Pangan and Cynthia Alexander.
