What have you realized in your life that is worth celebrating?
There are so many things to celebrate right now..
my friends were still there for me.. eventhough i made a lot of mistakes in my life. that i was almost ashamed to face them.. yet true friends accept us for being us..
♥ I found true love through M.C., it has been a long seven years since we met..and hopefully things gonna work out fine.. yup.. i feel pink at the moment.. (seven years ago when we first met, it was way back 2003, in my 4th year highschool days, weren’t classmates, not even schoolmates, their school teamed up with our school during basketball leagues.., and yes after the long seven years, we met again, and yup.. tru intercompany basketball league..again.. he’s the MVP of my life) ♥
♥ I’ve gained new friends & gotten close to some really great people ♥
There is definitely a bright side to my friendship issue
♥ Struggled with personal issues♥
Currently I feel good & Iam… not quite happy, but content enough with the way I look. But about a month ago, when I looked in the mirror, I was just completely disgusted with my reflection. I felt very thin & ugly, and would pile on the makeup. Now I’ve eased up on the makeup and no longer wanna cry when I see my reflection. I’m in a better & happier place
♥ more time with family ♥
after my dreadful past relationship that almost tore me apart (3 years of hell with the ex –> he’s in dubai, suffering from a hard time finding a job, i think that is his KARMA) now i have more time to spend with my family and i am happy with that
♥ finally ive moved on ♥
i have been in a bad relationship, yup.. that almost drain me.. inside and out.. i still thank God for giving me my family, friends and MC.. (those years ive been with him.. really made me think what i have done to my self.. i almost lose my self confidence, it made me weaker.. and made me filled with anger) almost a year had passed and i have finally moved on a step forward.. and i wont look back anymore.. i have learned my lessons from those mistakes.. from my dark side.. being in black.. is almost over.. and now im painting the town pink ^_^ i knew God would be always there for me.. and so my family and friends.. and so my MC.. (were gonna celebrate our 10th Monthsary tomorrow– “love you bear” thank you for being there for me and for accepting me for being me..)
i was celebrating life.. today and will celebrate it everyday.. for giving me a second chance to correct all the bad things that happened to my life..
hugs and kisses

Cheers to all the challenges we’ve gone through, indeed this builds our character. i’m so proud and happy everything is doing well and fine now. Keep the positive vibes in ^_^
There is more to life than drinking pink lemonade…
For us to live our lives to the fullest, we just can’t lean and sit back and wait as the world passes us by. We need to grab opportunities and take care of the blessings we have received, and share them with others so that more and more will come our way. We also need to stop looking at the world through rose-colored, pink-framed, heart-shaped glasses.
- Cathy Laine
my life with tone began with pink ..(actually my motiff in my wedding was pink ;p)
7 years ago, i met this uber snob guy when i was an intern in st.luke’s. we didn’t really notice that we already fell in love with each other the day our eyes met.we have our ups and downs but our love just grew stronger.
october is our most memorable month because this month we will be celebrating our 6th year anniversary.with our 3 adorable monsters of course :p this is really worth celebrating for ;p
oh by the way, did i mention that his very first gift to me was a pink pillow with a stuffed toy on it? pink is definitely my color ;p
“What have you realized in your life that is worth celebrating for?”
I have realized that the day when we’d moved in here in our new pink place is worth celebrating for. By the way this house has a touch of pink it’s my favorite color. This pink house is a gift. We have to celebrate it yearly. I thought that accepting this place will be a disaster for me and my family but it turned out really nice so far. I also feel blessed because I feel complete now. Thanks to my former enemy. She’s a blessing now in my life.
One thing that is worth celebrating for in my life is the day when my sister and I had this beautiful talk. It had been a year when me and my sister didn’t talk because of a little misunderstanding. There were so many celebrations that we’d missed together. I really missed all of those. Half of my life had missed those important events. Now that we’re ok I guess we need to celebrate that unforgettable day of our lives.
It’s really nice patching things up with a family member. You can’t avoid them and it gives awkwardness and an anxious feeling during family celebrations. Anyway, good thing you patched up things with her
“What have you realized in your life that is worth celebrating for?”
Upon reading the details of this contest, the word PINK really struck me. It is only then that I realized how this dainty color played many important roles in my life. As a child and until now, PINK has been my ultimate fave among all the variety of colors. I remember, as a child, pink is always my color preference for almost everything. PInk dress, pink bag, pink shoes, I just can’t get enough of pink! It’s color just fascinate me! This color is also the reason why I developed my fondness to the character of Hello Kitty! I remember, Hello Kitty used to be red, but the moment it changes its color, I already become a fan of Hello Kitty! And until now that I am married and has two beautiful girls, my fascination to this color continues… go check the wardrobe of my two princesses – almost all their clothes are PINK! I’m just so glad that both of them love this color too!
Pink – this color really brings out the femininity in me and of my two kiddos!
oh wow! I’m so overwhelmed by the many responses and many celebrations! If I were to join this contest, I’d say, this will be my celebration – Helping people realize that there are many things we can celebrate on, even the most ordinary things that bring a big impact on our lives.
oh boy, I would have a hard time picking a winner!
“What have you realized in your life that is worth celebrating for?”
As I look at my one-year old toddler everyday, I realize that the gift of life is worth celebrating for. In five months time, I’ll be celebrating for another bundle of joy. Hopefully, my baby turns out to be healthy baby girl so I can welcome her with everything PINK. And what better way to track her everyday progress than with a Belle de Jour planner.
“What have you realized in your life that is worth celebrating for?”
Every moment of it! Everyday, when I wake up knowing that God loves me and has blessed me with the kindest parents and sweetest sisters, I can’t help but feel that everyday is a celebration. I have learned to appreciate every little thing around me–the pink flowers in my Mom’s garden, our cute puppies, supermarket bonding time with my sisters, Dad driving me wherever I need to go…There’s an endless list of things to be thankful for. And I have learned that monumental things aren’t the only ones that calls for a celebration. Every single day is worthy to be celebrated.
When I am still pregnant, my husband (which is my boyfriend at that time) was not beside me, we do not have any communication because he has another girlfriend and I have to stop going to school, so I thought that my life was a mess and also I don’t know how to tell to my parents about it. Then after months, my father who is in abroad found out that I was 5 months pregnant, but then he just accepted what happen to me. Then when it is the time to give birth, I have to undergo cesarean section because if I deliver it normal, then I’ll have a 50/50 chance to live. And after an hour in the operating room,… I saw my 1st baby and that is the time that I REALIZED THAT MY LIFE IS WORTH CELEBRATING FOR.. because I have a responsibility with my baby.. and of course, all of the waiting and pain is worth! And now, my husband (boyfriend) came back and we got married and we now have 2 more kids.. and a happy family ^_^
Wow! thanks for sharing this story ^_^ while reading this, I was imagining a movie plot. Cheers to your family!
“What have you realized in your life that is worth celebrating for?”
I have realized how lucky I am to have been granted a beautiful daughter amidst knowing I have repro problem. Its worth celebrating for because God really works in wondrous ways!After knowing I have PCOS, I got alarmed having difficulty in conceiving. So when andie, my daughter, came out as pink as ever from my womb, i was so overly grateful to God that He gifted me with this child.
That’s great news!!! Let’s have a cyber toast to this wonderful gift! *cheers*
MOTHERHOOD is the best thing that ever happened to me. From conception (hihi), labor (hard labor!) to birth. It just overwhelms me to know I have so much love to give, how I miss her while in the office, how I get easily affected when she is sick and many more. It also amazes me to see myself in my daughter, her love for everything pink and certain traits that is so me. Cheers to Motherhood!
FAITH!
After giving birth.. I not only have a new little person to get to know and take care of… I also found a new found FAITH to nurture and celebrate!
The transition from a single care free twenty-something year old to a woman with a major responsibility of molding a LIFE.. was definitely not an easy ride.. I became a worry wart and my fears really shook my foundation!
I ONLY HAD MY FAITH to carry me through this troubling time… my faith that God is with me in this journey. My faith that no matter what I am, who I’ve been, who I’ll be.. .this little pink-skinned baby is mine to love unconditionally. That I’m his mother and he’s my son… that nothing can ever change that …that’s the kind of FAITH I’ve come to realize.
That faith is worth celebrating don’t you think?
What have you realized in your life that is worth celebrating?
i realized that getting good grades is one thing that is worth celebrating. good grades is like seeing pink in a town of black and white. it happens once you work hard for it
“What have you realized in your life that is worth celebrating for?”
LIFE.
In my nineteen years of living in this pink and girly world, I can say is that simply waking up every morning, healthy and happy is worth celebrating for. because each day means more hope and more knowledge
What have you realized in your life that is worth celebrating?
I realized that simply having God at the center of my life is worth celebrating because He simply blesses my life. Every problem that walks along the way is not just a blue leaf that shatters our life but instead a pink flower that blossoms thru undying faith in the wind of time.
“What have you realized in your life that is worth celebrating?”
By being a Mom for more than 12 years now, It’s always been worth celebrating because you got to share, teach, mold, care not just my own self but two other person who needed my guidance and love. I am always amazed by them and making me a better person each day. Having a boy as the eldest brings out that masculine side of and 6 yrs after I had my baby girl and made me see the color Pink in different shades.
♥
I guess one thing that I realized in my life that is worth celebrating is my womaninity. It is one thing being a mom and wife in this day and age, and quite another to still be your own unique self after the tags (teacher/ driver/ yaya/ companion/ cook/ cheerleader/ financial analyst/ quack doctor/ masseur etc.) has been attached to your name. It is because of the fact that I am a woman that I tackle all these humongous tasks and more with sassiness and flair, even adding to them my own brand of individuality.
I know for a fact that I am more than my place in my family, my job and my other responsibilities. I am that pink streak in the clouds that is more promising than the silver lining. I am that pink cotton candy in this big “circus” called life that makes it all sweet and dandy. I am that hot pink neon sign that radiates brightness and happiness all around me. I am that pink ribbon on your chest that makes you aware and involved in causes that affect not just me but a hundred or so ladies. I am me, a woman. And that is more than enough reason to celebrate.=)
I realized that true love waits for we will celebrate our wedding this December in a pink motif.
What have I realized in my life that is worth celebrating for?
Everyday is worth celebrating for. My life is the greatest gift given by God. This life is very fragile. It always hangs by a thread, it can end the least that I expect (we all die, we are only here today). That’s why I’ve decided to make the best out of every moment I live. I have climbed mountains, have shared my talents to those who are undeserved, have danced my heart out, have jumped into many bandwagons and many adventures and misadventures.
☻/ I encourage everyone to celebrate everyday. Cheers to life!
/▌ Always have a good time, paint the town red, or pink perhaps
/ \ or any color you would like. It’s your life
“What have you realized in your life that is worth celebrating for?”
-Every moment of my life is worth celebrating for. After giving birth to a beautiful baby boy and being a single-mother and becoming an entrepreneur and farmer at the same time which all happens in less than 2 years, what could I ask for? I could only ask for more (just kidding), I will celebrate Christmas together with my family painting our small-hometown PINK with Love, yes, gift-giving that is wrapped in Pink colored wrappers with Pink ribbons of course
What have I realized in my life that is worth celebrating?
Everything! It’s just a matter of looking in a better perspective. I learned that there’s really no point in worrying things and stay in an awful situation, you have to stand up and face everything with your chin up. My life has turned 360 degrees from last year. Last year was a dull and sad year, only because I kept on focusing on the negative things. But this 2010, I began to improve myself by thinking positively. Now, I have a stable job, loving my friends and family at my side, and deeper relationship with God. For me, that’s the most important thing in my life, I get to celebrate my existence with the people that are closest to my heart. I learned that you have to live everyday as special as possible so that you don’t have regrets in the end and whatever obstacle that you’re facing right now it will surely come to and end. We can all paint the world with different colors like green, blue, pink, purple or red, but me I choose to paint the world with rainbow colors! Cheers!
I’ve also been through a lot of challenges but I learned to face every problem with some positivity. It really makes a big difference. Cheers!
“What have you realized in your life that is worth celebrating for?”
I realized that being myself is already something worth celebrating, whether I feel like wearing pink, white or blue today, whether there’s school or not, and even if it rains the whole day, each day is still worth celebrating because I am still me, here, breathing, learning new things each day.
Do you know that pink ribbon symbolizes breast cancer awareness? I know it for sure because it is this fact that makes me overjoyed and the reason why I celebrate everyday as a new beginning.
Two years ago, my dear grandmother but I call her tita cause she’s still young (my lola’s younger sister) was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and the doctor advised that her breasts be removed. Tears flooded our family but hopes washed it away and also made our family closer than ever. This great test to our family was not easy to conquer but as we live each day, prayers and each other’s strength made us stronger.
God never sleeps. That’s for sure. Just recently, my aunt visited her physician and what a GOOD NEWS. Prayers really worked and the doctor said she was cancer free. So how was that for a CELEBRATION? Granting my tita another years of healthy living is worth celebrating for. Now, my tita and I can spend more days and more years of absolute bonding.
Pink is the color of health and life, a color of freshness and a new beginning. Believing in God is really powerful so I can also say, PINK IS THE COLOR OF FAITH.
oh January. I’m sorry for your lost. I have the same story as yours but God is really good with us because He still gave my tita another chance to live. But don’t lose hope and treat each as a blessing from HIM. I know, wherever your aunt is right now, I know she is happy because she’s with God.
I want to celebrate the realization that I am here right now because I—in all my simplest and humblest existence—am playing a most unique and vital role in the whole universe: ME! Next week, I’ll be 17, and I am just tickled, uh, pink.
“What have you realized in your life that is worth celebrating for?”
My simple accomplishments make me feel like I’m on top of the world. It’s worth celebrating, but accomplishing those things are very rewarding already. Life’s like a room, your accomplishments are paints on it and celebrating them gives you streamers, pink hearts on walls, cute lights on your room and people to celebrate with.
I realized that after the trials I have been through, being a single parent isn’t a bad thing after all. I have so much time not only for myself and my son but I learn to grow socially and emotionally. I became more appreciative of small things and all things around me became vibrant. I learned to love myself more, I embraced fashion and style. My world is colorful in the sense that everything I have and everything I do reflects happiness. Pink is my aura, a woman with style and positive vision.
Every morning is worth celebrating for. I get up every morning excited about what’s to happen. I treat each day as if it is the best day of my life. I share positivity to other people and do random kindness. Life, as we know it, is unfair. But treating it as such will lead to no good. Enjoy life and have fun, and that’s when you’ll learn to celebrate every bit of it. I celebrate life. I celebrate my individuality. I celebrate femininity. Paint your life pink and be merry!
Even if how cliche it sounds, I think being able to wake up every morning and experience life is something worth celebrating for. I am generally an optimistic person ever since i was young, i like to smile a lot and look at things positively. Although, i came to a point of my life where i felt so down as reality came slapping in my face every single day after a few months after i graduated from college. I graduated on March and up to this time, i sometimes feel bad as I am not employed yet. It’s not that i don’t go out and look for a job, (believe me i do!) but i guess the perfect job just hasn’t come my way yet.. So come to think of it, i shouldn’t have any reason to celebrate my life as it may seem that i havent done anything worth celebrating for. But i choose to think else wise, i think being able to spend the moments at home with my family who was always there from the beginning to support me with my decisions is a beautiful blessing in life that is worth celebrating for. I know not everyone has the chance to have a good relationship with their family. So i’ll do what i’ll always do, smile, raise my head high, pout my lips with my pink lipstick on and look at the positive side in every situation that is thrown in my direction because God loves us and He will never let us down.
xoxo,
Ivy Belle
it is true, I think a lot of people struggle with a bad family relationship. Cheers and God speed to you and your family
What have you realized in your life that is worth celebrating?
Before I used to schedule my time just between my work and at home. I really have no time for myself. All I think about is save, save, save!!! I did not realize that I have been depriving myself of things I deserve.
Then I found a quote on my planner “similar” to this saying, “Continuous small treats is the secret to a happy life.”
Then, I realized that I have all the time in the world! Even though I really have a tight work schedule, I always see to it that I can give myself a little something i.e. a pink little hanky, a simple decadent dessert, a cup of yogurt, a chick flick movie treat, and a lot more. Through this, I learn how to love life. I realized that I have a “LIFE TO CELEBRATE”.
I will take that advice ^_^
WHAT HAVE YOU REALIZED IN YOUR LIFE THAT IS WORTH CELEBRATING FOR?
having a son that u carried in your womb for 9 months is worth celebrating for, when i saw him he’s so pinky pinky pink! toes and hands are so pinky pink! i actually can’t believe that he grew inside my pinkish tummy! now he’s 2 yrs. old and has a pinkish chubby cheek! i’m so thankful that God gave him to me.. at these very moment when i remember the first time i saw him, i’m still blushing pink.

Because I live in a way I want to. That is more than enough to celebrate. Everyday I go home, I find my way to be happy, to be at peace. Everyday my office mates are smiling. Sometimes boss is frowning. But everyday, is always a new day. Life never stops. It goes on and on, and I just live it well.

It’s really sad loosing someone close to you. I lost my dad too when I was 3. I am not sure weather it was better he left early hence, I have no painful memories… or I’d rather have him for a few years to feel that I have a father. At least we know now, they’re on a better place
Thank you so much Polinda for sharing
My father died too when I was three, but I have no memories of him in my life
you’re lucky at least you spent time with him. anyway, cheers to life and to moving on with our precious memories of our loved ones
Indeed it is
that’s why sometimes it’s more meaningful to receive flowers from someone on an ordinary day
cheers!
Congratulations Krystal!
feel sorry to hannah!
I realize that God alone has the center of my life is worth celebrating, because he only gave me life. Each question, along the road is not just a blue leaves shattered our lives, but a pink flowers, flowers in the wind by the high level of confidence.
