Praise and 'Praise'

We should, sometimes, sit down, and appreciate the passing moments in our life. To praise, to love, to appreciate.

I praise the CDs around me, keeping me company when noone's home.

I praise my phone, for connecting my friends and I.

I praise hotmail, for doing a such wonderful job, for too, it has connect my friends from the other side of the world, as well as some locally.

I praise my grandmother, for always being such a nag, but still, never fail to show me her kindness.

I praise my mother, for being a younger version of my grandmother, a fierce nag, and still, never fail to show me how much she loves me. Not to mention the food she makes! :D

I praise my father, the economical support of our family. Though he's not at home most of the time, still, I never blamed him.

I praise my sister, for being such a great support, even when she's in Singapore. And I, apologize, for giving cold shoulders whenever you're around.

I praise my classmates. For being there with me when there's highs and lows. I thank you, for witnessing the changes in me. For understanding, for influencing, for carving me into a better person I am today. Though, there's still flaws, just like what Jordan says, but it's okay, if we combine our flaws, our weaknesses, and turn them into something, beneficial.

I praise my close friends, and good ones, the ones that's not my classmate, for knowing the true side of me, and never gave up on me. Friends like you guys, are just rare like diamonds. Our friendship is just like diamond too, not only rare, but tough, as well.

I praise the teachers, for giving us not only guidance in studies and out future, but also being good adult friends that teenagers now should have.

I praise the government, for providing sufficient electricity and water. For providing comfortable living enviroment. At least, we're not in war nor living in harsh conditions. You've done a great job!

I praise god, for giving me, so many things to praise.

For giving me sight, hearing, taste, touch and smell. For giving me a brain to think, for giving me a working body. For giving emotions, that enriches life even more.

The ocean, the lands, the air, the greens and the animals. Humans misused them, and that what cause the suffering we are in, right now.

I praise, those who has shunned and bruised me, that was, a truly magnificent job you've done there. For it is essential, in molding a better, stronger me.

Thank you, readers, for having such patience, in reading what I praise. Lastly, I praise you.
