Time to say “thank you”

Sadly the year that passed was marred by tragic disasters, violence and even murders. But amid all these, we have had a considerably good year, brought about by family, friends and associates who made 2014 memorable. And so it is time to say “thank you” to those who stood by us, supported us, cared for us, made our life easy and fulfilling.

In the course of our continuous market research there are many who, year after year, attended to our needs. There is Jo of the Makati Supermarket, who would come down from her perch to get us some rare food stuff from their store room. There is Becs of Mercury Drug, inside the supermarket, who has been steadily assisting us. At Puregold in the Molito Lifestyle Mall in Alabang is Lina, who graciously welcomes us every time we would go there.

There is Susan at the South Supermarket who never failed to assist us. In the same outlet, at the seafood section, there is Venus, who we could always trust with providing us with their fresh catch.

The butchery staff of Rustan’s is Evia who would readily accommodate our request for chicken weighing 1.5 kgs-plus. There is Lea of Shopwise in Alabang, always extending a helping hand.

The PR ladies – Nana, Millie and Joy, for providing us with interesting topics to write about. Toni and her Bridges ladies, who always make us feel excited about their many projects.

There are Choy and Tess, our boy and girl Fridays, who have been willing assistants in our quest for column materials. Our kasambahays Buding and Loren, who did all the cutting and slicing in our kitchen,

And there is our editor, dear Doreen, and her assistants, Alpha and Rosal, who week after week patiently go through our copy.

There are my friends (you know who you are), who always shared my ups and downs through all the years of our togetherness.

Last, but not least, my family, whose support and caring always give me strength to carry on.

To all of you, I extend my heartfelt thanks, with a wish that 2015 will be kind to us, that it will give us fulfillment of our dreams and hopes!
