Well, 2025 is about to come to an end, so soon. While hard times are still happening and I still got my share of downs and low points, like family issues, our family having to give up our new dog (back to the shelter we adopted him from, since had a bloody ear problem and we thought they'd help him with that), which leaves us pet-less, my nieces and nephews getting sick, having had to work in the weekends during the summer, some beloved actors (both here and the outside world) dying, me getting sick, and me never giving myself the time to continue on my fanfics or draw a lot (so busy with a lot of things). However, that doesn't mean I didn't have great times though. I know it's something usually done in Thanksgiving (and I could've done that on that day), but I figured why not wait and then count the bless-filled days/moments I had in December. Well, here is my list of the days/moments that I'm thankful for of this year:

1. A trip to the New York Aquarium with my sister and her family to start off this year.

2. Movies I've watched with my pals: Mufasa: The Lion King, The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie, Jurassic World Rebirth, The Bad Guys 2, Night of the Zoopocalypse, and Zootopia 2.

3. I have a new niece and I'm already one of her favorite people.

4.. Watched Puppy Bowl (as usual every year).

5. Watched Wolf King, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory (Seasons 3 & 4), Nightmares of Nature, Sonic Prime, and K-Pop: Demon Hunters on Netflix.
6. Watched The Wild Ones and Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age on Apple TV+.

7. Watched the new Walking with Dinosaurs.

8. Spent some time at my aunt's house and my cousin's house (though it's because I had to watch their pets while they were away).

9. My time with my friends, as always.

10. My visits to the Bronx Zoo (including Dinosaur Safari, Boo at the Zoo and the Holiday Lights).

11. Getting a lot of Lorcana cards and Magic: The Gathering cards (mostly those of Bloomburrow and The Lost Caverns of Ixalan).

12. The gifts I got for my birthday and Christmas (as usual).

13. The day I spent in the Bronx Zoo (with my sister, my brother-in-law, and their children, my niece and nephew) on my birthday (and even getting to check out the new World of Darkness for the first time).

14. My first sighting (and photographs) of a ringtail and an Aye-Aye.

15. I got a new bike and I already am enjoying it.

16. David James Armsby (aka Dead Sound) started a new series of Dinosauria.

17. My time and growing experiences in restaurants (mostly the Nautilus and Burger-Ology).

18. My time at White Post Farms for Halloween with a friend.

Well, that's all the good times I can recall for this year (though there may or may not be more). Hope you guys had some (if not too many) good times/moments of this year to be thankful too (and hope you all have a happy New Year to come). See you all in 2026 (hopefully, this new year coming will be way much better)!
