I can remember her cheerful smile - and I know Al - her husband, he is M's business partner....

Her name is mentioned in my prayer every night...she is my sister in Christ.........

Be a blessing, I will bless thee - says the Lord....and I am blessed by HIM each and everyday...then will I give myself wholly to live for others and to be a blessing??? Yes, my Lord - I absolutely will....

It happens - again n again - just when I started to get used of my life back n forth btw P.A n Hou....March 1, I will be back again in Houston - to start in a new project...

Life is ever-changing - I dunno about my future - but I know the ROCK I can stand and rely upon....

We r in business of makin' baby ;)

It happens in life - when ppl u know - become ppl u knew....
When u can walk right past someone as if they were never a big part of ur life...
How u used to be able to talk for hours - holdin' on to each other's dreams - but now - how u can berely even look at 'em...n they become just another stranger....

I dreamt about my recently passed uncle - 2 months already since his demise....wow...n I just realized I haven't checked on my a aunt n my other uncle n his fam....I woke up n put a note in my head to do that this evening..............

I had a chilaxin' Fri @ home - my home is really sweet home for me....I really do enjoy being here....anyway - last night I was making some gumbo for some friends...in the midst of stiring to make the roux...I suddenly have this light bulb that went off in my head - bright idea - not so new....but it'z something I haven't been thinking about for a while now....seeing people living life around me - it makes me wonder where have I been.....wait! I know where I've been in 2009 - "hiding" in that town for work - my 2009 life is consumed by work n renovating the house...however 'tis year it'z gonna be different...I'll take time for myself - just having those alone "me" time to read a book. Yes, reading - not listening to an audio book or surfing the net....

I will of course - travel more...........

Winter can be depressing - but it definitely makes the warmth of a hug super - xtra cozzzzieee...

Babe - I had a great time in Wash - DC, we made it another year ;-)


The movie: A Good Year - every time I watch this film - it makes me want to pack my bags & leave for Provence - be a waitress my whole life, only stopping for harvest time...LOL....



2010 - Will it be a year of dreams for u?


Haiti Earthquake victims - Pray and be thoughtful to those in need... :(

Random stuff 2009:

"Climategate"

Jesse Ventura on Tru TV

Ron Paul

Lamentations 3:22-24

The unfailing love of the LORD never ends! By his mercies we have been kept from complete destruction. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day. I say to myself, "The LORD is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!"

saw this online - wow super cute - party furrrfect for 2010

Spike Egg-Nog - Kahlua n Canon in D

I took the challenge to master Johann Pachelbel's Canon in D on the piano....so my Christmas is consumed by cold weather - n practice, practice, practice....

I learnt how to read, write music, and play the piano at the early age - I was actually enrolled in Yamaha School of music...however, today - I am a bit rusty in reading the notes....

It'z getting there - Pachelbel - I will get the piece right! Below is pg 1 of 2:

The Toughest Christmas - VOID

I could not find a valid reason to be unhappy with my current lifestyle and situation......It'z kinda weird bcz to begin with, I am a fairly contented person. I count my blessings. I rejoice in the simplicity of life. Sipping coffee. Smelling the rain. Feeling the wind. Enjoying the crisp weather. Writing. Reading. Praying. Walking/jogging at T.H. park. Enjoying my newly renovated TH. Yet, I am consumed by this unexplainable void in my life. A huge empty space waiting to be filled. But with what? Maybe, I should learn not to entertain my emotions too much....just knowing The Joy of the Lord is My Strength.....

Went w/ ma' dearie to the Festival of Carols
Featuring: Cynthia Clawson

with: Tallowood Adult Choir and Orchestra

Jubilation Bell Choir

It was soooo great....Christmas is definitely here............

Father God...I love You....

Dear Hunney,

Nothing touch my heart more than having you kneel down with me daily to pray....n on your quiet moment w/ Father GOD each day...I heard my name is mentioned in your prayer...........A GOD feared man - is more precious than GOLD n SILVER....n gold n silver are reaaaaaaaaaaally expensive now-a-dayz...since the value of USD is sinking low...so u r more precious than all those :) Thank you for having such high endurance, for being there, for all the lunch meals you've never failed to make every weekend, for being so understanding, and for always not giving up when the going gets tough. I know I am sometimes hard to handle, but you know I really cherish every bit of effort you've put in to compromise and deal with me. Whaddaya know, we aren't so bad after all. :)N most of all - with autumn already in full swing - thank you sooh much for watching my fave cartoon (repeatedly on the yearly basis): It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown , w/ me tirelessly - can't wait for the next Fall to watch it again w/ you.... ;)
----------
"Chill" has been my favourite word all these while BUT, it has been particularly HOTTER these days. I use this word almost everyday now. On Wed when work was pretty tough...I told myself to chill....yesterday after work arriving back in H-town for the weekend I decided to chill, right now n tmorw......I feel like chillaxin' doin' nuthin'...darn...am I becoming a boring person or what?..HEEEELPP....LOL!!
++++++++

To G, I learnt this week that to err or have erred is only human. But sometimes when you make mistakes, you can never turn back again. Even if you tried hard enough, they'd never be the same again. Scary innit? Sigh...welcome to reality........

Lately, dunno why but almost everyday...I have been receiving news that pains the heart..........

I can to the extreme feel how they felt.............

To dear CSP who just lost her dad last Friday....I'm really, really sorry to hear.....my thoughts n prayers r w you n fam.....your dad was a fighter...he has been fighting really hard all these while....I know he is in good hands now....may he rest in peace....

I want to share 2 Timothy 4:7 - when I thought about your dad.....

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith

to Hun's mom

to VNGal's dad....

to KL's dad....

to my neighbor's husband,

to my uncle....

to LH's grandma,
to my neighbour's husband
I'm praying for a speedy recovery....and hope they fight with all their might

I would love to see them get well :)

Things that are reallieeeeeeeee starting to tick me off big time:
1. Last minute decisions....

2. Telling me things only at the last possible second........

3. Unthoughtfulness - Having me to point things out to your face before you actualli get the big picture....


LOL..but I know, I know Babe - you put up w/ my crazieeeeeeness a whole lotz as well...it'z a part of life and growing together.....


WE made it! Congratulations to us both!!! Muaks....XOXOXO

Never Give Up...

It has certainly made me see,
that things change, circumstances change, people change.
I am not the person I once visualized myself to be,

But that surely doesn't make me any less happy,

It doesn't mean I have achieved less but merely means that I've achieved something different.

Life as is now definitely means responsibilities,

and difficult choices and decisions.
Decisions that involve sacrifices, that sometimes,
I am too afraid to make.

As for me, I am going to keep seeking
Until I find God's plan for me...
So long I don't give up, I'll get find it one day.
It may not be today,
But I will find it one day...

When everything has come to an end, the daily routines awaits you. I am losing and loving at the same time. Life's full of contradictions.........so does my heart........
