[GIVEAWAY - WINNERS ANNOUNCED] Pay It Foh!ward - Giftcards + Tokens as a Thank You // Ends November 27th

[I Was Pon This Wei]

Hello there everyone! So I wish I was good with words so I could write out this long winded introduction to this giveaway but sadly I am not JK Rowling. But I did want to host this giveaway.

 

I know Thanksgiving is something that's mainly celebrated here in the United States but it doesn't mean we can't say Thank You all around the world, and that's what I want to do. I want to say thank you.

 

Thank you to Onehallyu for providing a place where I can share my interests freely with others and have fun with all the events and topics here. Thank you to all the staff members for making Onehallyu the amazing place it is today. And especially thank you to every single user here for keeping Onehallyu alive and strong. I know we all have our differences but we also all have our fun and sweet moments and I want to thank you all for that.

 

Here at my university, our motto is: Pay It Forward! Where basically you do a kind act to someone like you would want them to do for you. This giveaway is simple, all you have to do is post something you're thankful for but I hope it inspires you to Pay It Forward and show someone you're thankful for them.

 

Example of a Pay it Forward just for those who want to read:

 

A few years back a college student at my university passed away due to cancer and the cafe in the University hospital had a "Pay It Forward" day inspired by her. Basically out of nowhere someone buying a coffee, decided to overpay and told the cashier to use the change towards the tab of the person behind them, thus giving that person a free coffee. The person behind them was touched that they did the same thing.

 

It lasted for a while and I believe it lasted almost 20 people who were paying it forward.

 

 

I'm not asking you guys to host your own giveaways, or buy someone a coffee, or anything at all. I just want to pay it forward to the users of the site that puts a smile to my face and hopefully some of you will do the same by just even simply telling someone that you appreciate them.

Min this is incredibly generous of you to host this giveaway. 

 

Okay, here's my entry:

 

I'm thankful for having great people around me, both irl and on OH. In real life, there are only few people that actually care about me and people whom I can tell all my troubles, but I am thankful that I have them by my side and I'm glad I can talk to them freely about pretty much everything.

On OH, there are so many wonderful and kind people here, I'm glad I've encountered them. The mods and staff are all amazing, I seriously appreciate all of their hard work.

I'm also thankful for having a PM where I can talk to two other amazing users about all kinds of stuff, I'm glad that I found them and I'm thankful for all the moments we had in there, be it good or bad, be it significant or unsignificant. 

 

And lastly, I'm thankful for finding this forum.   

[Pocket Hyung]

[Lazy Daisy]

I'm thankful for having such an awesome mother who is so strong and loving. I am thankful for my sister, my grandparents and all my family members who love me and i am thankful that all these people are healthy and happy. I am thankful for a special person who came into my life. I am thankful i can get an education, i am always warm and have enough food. I am thankful for the love and support i am receiving from my teachers and my secret 'godmother' who sponsors me. I am thankful for being happy.

[RubberDuckyTai]

I'm thankful for my mother, whom even though I'm a grown a** woman, has stepped up and taken care of me (in and out of the hospital) the past 3 months. I'm thankful she hasn't kicked me out of her bed yet, as well. I'm thankful that my doctors kept at it until they found a solution. I'm thankful that my sister finally got the surgery she needed and is now able to take care of her son. I'm thankful to all the passersby in my life this year and previous ones. Whether you were annoying or inspiring, thanks for leaving a mark.

 

Also, I was always inspired and thankful to all my teachers, thus I am an art teacher now. I thank my students for driving me insane all day, every day. It's well worth the struggle as long as you all come out on top. You're all my babies, can't wait to see you all grow!

 

And thanks to OH for being my first (and probably last) Kpop community. It's been a fun ride so far. Here's to many more years!

 

Pay it forward, kids! Pay it forward!

 

[Rice]

I want to thank all the kind and generous people out there -including you- who give gifts to others without expecting anything in return, to the Veterans who serve to protect their country, to my parents who work hard to provide for their children, to the bold and kind souls out there who speak for the ones that can't, and I'm most thankful to my sweet, intelligent, little brother who has the power to bring our dysfunctional family together.   

[Paper Ice Cream]

I'm thankful to God for another day I'm alive today and for letting me see another wonderful day.

To my family and for everyone I met and I have yet to meet.

[D Kawaii Adventurs Of Ayyu]

im thankful for my life. for parents who love me and siblings who are very annoying.

 

and glorious internet for keeping me entertained all these years. and onehallyu ofcourse :D

[llyx]

I'm thankful for the kindness and love given to me by the people around me, and it makes me really happy. I am also thankful for people who are giving kindness to other people; it warms my heart when I see someone is donating and helping one in need. I hope everyone will stay positive, and the whole world would care about each other! I am thankful for everything, and everyone who love me. 

[Starlight]

I'm thankful for being alive and having amazing friends. Even when it gets tough I know that they're there to support me, and vice versa, and that's a wonderful thing. I'm also thankful for books, music, video games, and all of the other things that keep me from dying of boredom.

[loeyeol]

Thank you for hosting this giveaway

--

I'm thankful for the admins for helping me to solve the issue that I had when I just created this account, and I'm thankful for all the friendships that I've made in this forum! Through this forum, I actually got to know more fans from different countries, thus expanding my social circle ã…‹ã…‹

I am also thankful for every single person that had made an impact in my life be it good or bad, if good, I can learn from them, if bad, I will learn to not do it/stay away from it in the future xD

 

Pay it forward, pass on the love <3

[Moonie]

I'm thankful for being around people who are as open minded as I am and still want surrounded by my presence. I'm thankful that I live under a roof, I'm thankful that I have three meals a day and I'm thankful that I have a family.

[TheVirginThotty]

I am thankful for my boss and my father...though at times they may annoy me they were the first two people to actually believe in me.. because of them I am on the right path and especially because of my boss I have chosen to take a path of a pharmacist... most of all I am thankful for God for life and for putting me in the right sac sadly...the wrong ovary but the right sac... Thank you God!

[a(mber)]

ooh what's this

 

I'm thankful for being surrounded by people who understand me. For having two amazing parents who care for me like nothing else (except my brother they care heaps about him too). And in saying that, I'm very thankful for my brother too. We're all very close and we don't let a mental disability stop us from giving him any opportunities that come our way. I'm thankful for having parents who still feed me despite my allergies and inability to cook without having an anxiety attack and I'm thankful they can put up with my anxiety and everything else I have. I'm thankful for going to a decent school, the best in the entire city council area may I add. It may not be the best school in existence and I can't study what I want but at least it's half decent. I'm also thankful for having teachers that actually care about my work and can actually teach. I'm thankful for all the first-world advantages I have, like computers and internet and phones etc. I'm thankful for having a shower rose that isn't broken. I'm thankful for Kim Seokjin's existance. I'm thankful for so many things really. The list could keep going forever

 

 

 

 

 

I'm also thankful for having a PM where I can talk to two other amazing users about all kinds of stuff, I'm glad that I found them and I'm thankful for all the moments we had in there, be it good or bad, be it significant or unsignificant.

 

 

[Guest Kami_removed]

I'm thankful for infinity and rachel for being my bffls

im thankful for min for being my sweg pal

[Jennifer]

I'm thankful that for every mistake I make, I am forgiven even if it hurts my family. For years, I have felt like a nuisance to my family, and I have always made them disappointed in me.

 

Why did I even do that? Why must my parents yell at me? It's because they wanted me to be a better person. They wanted to show me the world wasn't just about myself. I did something so wrong, but they love me and forgive me. That is an amazing feeling that you will only experience within your family.

 

I am grateful for having a family that supports me, loves me, and forgives me; I thank them for always forgiving me and leading me to the right direction.

My Entry:

 

I am thankful for all the people on this forum and outside for supporting me on everything I do, putting up with me even when I'm slow and annoying. Sorry if I always rant stuff to you guys. Hahaha. Love you guys! The members of this site for keeping it alive and boring free.

[snsdJM]

Since this forum is kpop related im going to keep my thanks to the people here and kpop

 

Im thankful for this awesome forum, where i can waste some of my time getting to talk about my favs in kpop, for all the lovely people i have met here sone's,exo-l's,inspirits, xiuhan and myungyeol shippers, sunshiners and elements. also to all of my friends from mafia and minigames

[MamaMyu]

I'm thankful for a lot of things. But the biggest is: My mom.

I'm just so thankful for her. For staying by my side all the time. Even if I had disappointed her. But especially when I was sick (basically my whole life) It must have been tiring for her but still she never complained. Recently I caught the flu. I couldn't fall asleep at all, she woke up and took care of me. She stayed up the whole night and didn't sleep. She had to go to work, but she didn't complain at all but looked so tired.

Thinking of what I'm thankful off. Just reminds me that I really should randomly hug her more often and tell her thanks for all of the things she did.

Also I'm thankful that she doesn't get annoyed by all the kpop songs I keep playing on repeat 
I'm also thankful for this site. If it weren't for OH, I wouldn't have met my friends as of today. If it weren't for OH, I wouldn't have +10 hours of talking to them on skype or line.

[ANTI]

I'm thankful for my family, friends, and OneHallyu for always entertaining me. I love you all <3

[DarkDawn]

I'm thankful that I have a job that I love and that helps children. =)

I'm also thankful that I live comfortably within my means. I'm lucky. 

I'm thankful to OH (and the other forums sites...) and the friends that I have made. <3

I'm thankful I am alive. 

[Delphine]

Sounds like such an awesome event, thank you very much for it!

 

Being french, I don't celebrate Thanksgiving at all, but there are a lot of things I definitely am grateful for.

 

I'm grateful for my family, that despite our differences, we stick together always. I'm grateful for my mom and my dad whom I love very much, for all they've done for me and are doing still. I'm insanely lucky to have them in my life, despite all the fuck ups that happened on both sides.

I'm grateful for my brothers, that I can always count on, even though I don't speak to them much anymore. Everybody's having their lives here and there, but I know if one of us was in deep shit, the others would come and help.

 

I'm grateful for the human being that agreed to share his life with mine, and love me unconditionally. I'm grateful for his daily support and love, even though I think I don't deserve it. He makes my life easier, funnier and more interesting everyday, and I'm glad to have met him, and I can't believe how much I've lucked out on that one.

 

I'm grateful for my friends, because even though we are scattered around the globe, we keep in touch, care, and always come help each other in any situation. I've exprerienced such help this summer, from one of my oldest best friend, and it touched me more than I can say.

 

I know all isn't going as well as it could, or as expected, but I'm grateful to have so many amazing human beings around me, to go through hardships without losing smile and hope.

[Lunacy]

That's so adorable Pon! 

I would like to do that too one day. I know a girl who wrote sweets messages and put them in books so people could find them and feel better about themselves. I have always wanted to do it (or put random messages in people's mailbox xD)

 

 

I'm thankful for all the people I met in real life / online who accept me the way I am.

I know I'm not easy sometimes, and it's amazing to always be able to find someone to talk to when I'm feeling down or when I have lots of doubts. And even if I'm not saying it, I am really really thankful to all of you.

You are making me grow and are truly inspiring

 

Also, I will forever be thankful to my mum, who always believes in me and pushes me to do great things. I love you so much.
