For me, everyday should be a day full of gratitude despite of the problems we encounter. Saying of thanks have evolved through out the years, from “Thank You” to a shorter “Thanks” to a much shorter “TY”, to the text-speak “Tnx”, to the LOL-cat speak inspired “Thx” and the list goes on.

And for us to be reminded that it is not only on the “National Thank You Day” that we should say thanks, Toblerone started the “National Thank You Day”, a day that should be full of sweetness like taking a bite of that luscious chocolate.

For this year’s National Thank You Day, Toblerone would like to hear from you on the things that you are thankful of through photographs. Toblerone will be giving away 3 Toblerone Gift Packs to the top three winners.

I’m thankful for both of my parents (see photo above and below). They have been very supportive.

I’m also thankful for my brother and my sister. My brother has influenced me to play the guitar while my sister is my camwhoring buddy in times of boredom.

Finally, I’m thankful to have my girlfriend Sharlyne. Cheers, through thick and thin!

I’m also thankful to have such wonderful friends and colleagues. You know who you are.

And now, to those who have been reading this blog, please join the National Thank You Day Photo Contest. All you have to do is:

1. Post a photo in your own website (blog, Multiply, Friendster, Facebook, etc.) and link these photo entries to the gallery found in www.thankyoudayphilippines.com.

I will be shortlisting 5 finalists who will be part of the Final Round. Winners for the Final Round will be determined by a panel composed of employees of the Toblerone and its PR agency, GeiserMaclang Marketing Communications, Inc.
