In celebration of Thanksgiving Day, allow me to pay a humble tribute to the Triond friends I have acquired over the four months that I’ve been here.

You really have a very creative way with words. Thank you so much for your efforts in coining those anagrams of my name, and for informing me of Triond’s latest feature on profile creation.

For your friendship even off-Triond, I give you my sincerest thanks, Charlie, and of course, for tirelessly reading my posts and leaving encouraging comments.

You never fail to view my articles and to comment on them every time I read your latest post. I am very appreciative of that, thanks a lot, Chan.

Thank you for being one of my earliest friends here. Although you seldom submit articles, I often check if you have a post I might have missed.

I love reading your experiences in the military and other anecdotes. You have a wonderful way of narrating them that I quite enjoy.

Your openness about your son’s chosen career is very touching. Thank you so much for your post, Reading Them Forward. It certainly provided a means for my earlier posts to be viewed.

Your support and promise of help should I decide to turn my article, Remembering the 1976 Earthquake and Tsunami That Devastated My City into a novel as you suggested, are never forgotten. I might take you on that in the future. You are a very good storyteller. Hope to see your name on the bestseller lists one day.

    Thank you, Mel. That kind praise meant so much that I kind of got a little choked up. Upon reading that there is one thing that i must say and that is that you are a well deserving person and you deserve every heartening comment that I give you. Your poetry is uniquely warm as always. God bless you, Mel.

  • CHAN LEE PENG on Nov 29, 2008

    Thanks for mentioning me here. As a friend, I’ll try to take out my busy time to read yours and also others. I’ll just leave comments for those who’re placed under my priority list. But I’ll still read others too, but without leaving comments.

    We need to support each other, right?

    Take care, my friend!

  • BC Doan on Nov 29, 2008

    Melody, this is one of the most heart felt pieces I have ever read here on Triond. It is so nice to know you are appreciated and your personal message to each friend us heartwarming to read. You have mentioned names I am not familiar with and I intend to check out every one of them.

    Hi Melody, I am so sad I never saw this piece. Forgive me and thanks again for the support as I will always support you.

  • Budding Polymath on Jan 4, 2009

    Wow, I can’t believe I’m only seeing this now. Well, thanks for mentioning me, I appreciate it a lot. I hope this new year treats you well!

  • Joshua Miguel on Jan 10, 2009

    Thank you also Melody. Hope you had a great holiday last year.

  • Melody SJAL on Feb 1, 2009

    Thank you, everyone, for being my friends. May God\’s blessings be upon us all this new year and always.

  • CutestPrincess on Mar 6, 2009

    my gosh, im so late… i just found out this article today, thank you so much for mentioning my name!

  • jamesII on Apr 30, 2009

    I guess you had a great idea first! I can tell you are a very caring person who does not take anything for granted and one who pays attention to details and no matter is too small. With a heart like that–you are a poem! It is very comforting to learn that there are other kind people to look outward at others and away from themself. You are a wonderful find. I am suprised. The only reason I ever read you is because we both wrote on a related topic–you in an essay and me in a poem entitled “The Gems I Found!” Check It out when you find time. I will read more of you! Good, kind, and humanly considerate article. Thank You Cool!
