win nothing...won everything...

last sunday, we had our yearly corporate christmas party at bagaberde with the whole legal group. of course, everyone is excited about the raffle but not everyone is fortunate enough to win. in our team, only 6 people got to take home a prize. i was so frustrated i didn't get to win even a "microwaveable" oven toaster (a joke by one of my colleagues).

but then again, all the blessings i received from spi throughout the year is worth more than a plasma tv or a refrigerator or portable dvd player. after hearing the final prize given to someone with an employee number of FJ--, i just said a prayer and thanked God for all the blessings he gave me through spi. the winner of the grand raffle prize was the little guy who was behind me when i was in line for the food. he seems like a good guy and comforted myself that maybe he deserved it more than i do.

i wouldn't exchange the friends i made for a plasma tv. i wouldn't exchange the experiences i've had for a refrigerator. i would never exchange the laughters for a dvd player...
