I just wear it.
That way I don’t get the “You’d be prettier if you smiled” comments.
And no, I wouldn’t be. It would take a lot more than that.

Another guessing game of weekly photo challenge while I am out and about. Here I am creating my theme again: the falling leaves of autumn taken last year 2012.
Fall is a lovely time when the leaves turn to many shades of colours from yellow to dazzling red. When every leaves look like flowers and the trees became so excited in showing off it’s majestic structure.
Who cannot fall in love with the fall season. It’s enough to bring ones senses to heightened awareness that I am nothing in front of these trees and it is a humbling experience.
Trees planted at Metrotown Shopping Centre.
Trees at the School Board and the path of golden leaves.
Trees on the boulevard of East 12th Avenue and painted red sidewalks covered with fallen leaves

The room is so bare and I have this empty feeling in me. How did I get into this predicament? It was so easy not to care, minding my business and having blinders like horses. I walked into the apartment … Continue reading
With all the good intentions of seeing the progress of sweet Lucy, sometimes life goes awry and yesterday was a long day.
To escape how futile asking for an apology, I leave it behind and head out for a great escape.
One just has to look at the surrounding environment and soak in the beauty what it has to offer. It is free for the asking. It’s priceless. I am off to follow the yellow brick road in Granville Island for a scavenger hunt.
Granville Island is a paradise.
It has a market, buskers, picnic stations for private parties, and plenty of friends in the pond. There is family of ducks and geese, turtles, pigeons and a red-winged black bird that I hear yet hidden from sight. I could hear its screeching call.
Tuck in the corner, there is a private party going on. I wonder if they need another person to celebrate, just a thought. Time passed by without noticing how many hours I was here. The last time I looked at my watched it was 4 p.m. Next thing I know it was 7 p.m.
Goodness gracious, my furry friends are hungry, must go home to feed my beasts. Ah, what a great escape.

It’s wonderful to be woken up by the bells of Fatima first thing in the morning. From the balcony of our hotel room, I could see the steeple of the Cathedral. Every hour, the bell chimes the song of El … Continue reading
Pilgrim’s song
Man is lonely by birth.
Man is only a pilgrim on earth.
Born to be king, time is but a temporary thing,
only on loan while on earth.
Like the wind in the tree,
man has been rather reckless and free.
Thrown far and wide, we long to settle down beside
the stream flowing through eternity.
Like the grass on the lawn,
we will pass by the way and be gone.
A lesson to learn, we walk but once there’s no return.
Time is always moving on.
Man is longing for One,
for a song and a place in the sun,
a home up above where ev’ry day is lived in love, for
rest when the journey is done.

Crude, time for an oil change. It’s New Year 2013. Are you happy? Seriously. A request. I’ve been told to lighten up. I think I should learn to find my funny bones and grow some wings like an Angel. Angels do fly, don’t they? They don’t take themselves seriously. And I am taking this seriously. I have to lighten up. | |
Happy New Year! Am very happy:) Did you say “bone”? Seeker, that is not funny to mention “bone” to me. Just because I love you, I will help you. Ok, close your eyes, Seeker and make your wish. And woof, thanks for asking 🙂 | |
I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish….. Oh, P.S. My 6 letter word for 2013 is WISDOM, may I have this too? | |
Grrr…. Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it. Hocus Pokus, your wish is your command. You may have your wings as for the rest, I’ll get back to you. Gotta find me some “bones”. |
A Prayer of New Beginnings by St. Mary
God of new beginnings, we are walking into mystery.
We face the future, not knowing what the days and months will bring us
or how we will respond.
Be love in us as we journey.
May we welcome all who come our way.
“Just for today, I will adjust myself to what is.”
“Just for today, I will face reality.”
“Just for today, I will change those things I can change.”
“Just for today, I will accept things I cannot change.”
Tell us about your hero.
When I grow up, I want to be just like you said my niece to me lovingly as if she was looking at an angel at a tender age of under 10 years. Children don’t know how to lie, just yet, they are open and honest; children have 20/20 vision, they can see an angel. Ah, such sweet innocence as pure as driven snow.
I felt so vain, I am her HERO. HOLD THAT THOUGHT FOR A MINUTE! No, don’t even think about it, NEVER! When you grow up, you are going to be YOU!
Modesty aside, I am the hero not just to my niece also to my nephews, other nieces and younger generations since I am Auntie Mame to them. Now they are all grown up, matured and have a place on this earth, their views have changed. I am pretty sure if I’ll ask them who their hero is, it won’t be me. Oh well, such as life.
Turning that question inwardly: asking, musing, pondering, thinking, talking to myself; who is your hero, Lady? The answer, really honestly and seriously. I can easily say that my Mother Lucia is my hero for she gave birth to me. She fought for my life when I was being conceived in her tiny womb. I should have not been born. The fetus is self-abortive says the doctor. You will lose the baby. Mother has such great strong faith and determination. She wants me to come into this world for she loves me. She prayed hard to all the angels and saints; to Our Lady of Perpetual Help for her intercession. Should my life be spared, Mother will name the baby after Her. What? How does she know if it will be a baby girl? What if it’s a boy? Our Lord of Perpetual Peter Pan?
TADA, fast forward, 55 years later. Here I am at WordPress, pressing the words about my hero. Long have I been waiting for this moment to speak boldly who my hero is. I must say I am a little bit concerned that I may be laughed at should I tell you the 5Ws of my hero. But I will stick to the rule: WHO.
I have so many heroes, not just one. My heroes are those little things that we seem to take for granted. My heroes are those that saved my life aside from my Mother Lucia. The most recent episode in my life, they are Lady Bugs, Hummingbirds, mustard seeds. They saved my life and sanity. And I am sure there will be more little things to come.
All kidding aside, my real hero based on my faith is nothing but a little child, Baby Jesus Christ. He saved not just my life. He came to this world to save the world and mankind. Should you want to know the story of Baby Jesus, Google it!
