It's gonna be a long weekend for me...thought of taking leave come this Mon, 30 Aug - I had to bring Chardon for his clinic appointment and the next day, 31 Aug is our Malaysia's Independence Day (Merdeka Day) which is a public holiday for Malaysian. So right now I'm feeling kinda of patriotic already...I know I'm so late in having this so called 'Merdeka Spirit' that I didn't even kibar a single Malaysia & Sabah flag earlier - what a shame huh?
Well...I'll be spending time with my family (as usual at all weekends). Will go buy a new box of watercolours for Carmen for her to do some painting at the weekend (love to encourage my children with creative activities) and will listen to the music of Mozart with Chardon as well. That's how simple my weekend is. Or I thought of also visiting my grandma & sister at our village home at Kampung Rani, Tenghilan - we'll see:)
Anyway, happy weekend to you people. Guess who's that guy in the cool picture? See you next week...
I had a haircut about two weeks ago...but nope not this Emma Watson's (pic above) pixie cut. I got fed up with my hair which was too long...so I had a shoulder length-layered trim. I still have those curly locks though but it's okay - good to give volume to my hair. One day soon - I really would want to go for this Emma Watson (she's the actress who starred as Hermoine in Harry Potter) new pixie do...don't you think she looks lovely with this hair? Perhaps I should slim down a little bit first then this pixie cut will look good on me - ha...we'll just have to wait & see then!
Shucks, if I knew about a public non-profit organization called 'Locks of Love',which I just came across from the net, I would donate my hair to this organisation. (Locks Of Love is an organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children in the US and Canada under age 21 suffering from long-term medical hair loss called alopecia areata, which has no known cause or cure. The prostheses they provide would help to restore these children's self-esteem and their confidence, enabling them to face the world and their peers.) I will support and donate my hair there one of these days after/if I had a haircut.
Anyway, it's nearly 4 months now since I gave birth to my baby son, Chardon and I'm going through some hormonal change...that is right now my hair has started to fall - lots of hair cos Chardon is also losing lots of his baby birth hair which is actually normal. And I guess I didn't consumed enough calcium during my pregnancy that I didn't lose a tooth but broke a tooth (half of it) which used to be my wisdom tooth - gosh that is so ugly!
I took this words from the 'Tinkerbell & The Lost Treasure' movie. My Carmen is a huge fan of Tinkerbell and she watched the movie (1st & 2nd part) a few times and she wanted me to watch together with her (me too liked 'Tink'...hehe) - that's when I got this cool little poem!
Well people, weekend is here again - so have a cool weekend ya!
I've been using this hanky for awhile - before & after giving birth to my 2nd child last April 2010. It's called Inu-hariko (which means papier-mache dog) & I bought it for only RM5 at Daiso Japan store. I liked the description stated on it's plastic cover - it says "Inu-hariko is the charm for protection. A charm believed to offer protection for a safe birth & good luck for babies". Nice eh? And it's a cute & good gift for a baby shower. And I did have a safe birth & want to believe/see what good luck will bring upon my baby Chardon. There are a few other similar good luck hankies but I particularly want to keep this in my bag wherever I go.
Charice Pempengco's debut album is finally out...which I have anticipated & looking forward to buy for awhile. No doubt her voice is a power house. One song I liked most from this album is 'Note to God', inspired me to learn this song and maybe one day I could try to sing it...(if I'm invited to) at a special function, at church (maybe, if appropriate) or a wedding reception or something. Just love her kind of vocal - great tone, soulful and strong.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to post up her official music video of 'Pyramid', a duet with Iyaz here, for the videos from youtube was recently blocked under copyright grounds - sorry!
I will not have the time to blog at the weekend, so I'll post something here for you to enjoy - one of my fav music video from Sarah Geronimo with 'Something New In My Life'. Her music videos are getting more matured & richer quality. Anyway, this week you see I've not been blogging much about my personal life but plain entertainment. At least something to update in here right?
I guess I wanted something new in my life A new key to fit a new door To wake and see a different view in my life The one I've been waiting for
Dreams like everyone I’ve had a few in my life Who knew that this one would come true in my life I knew the moment when you touched me You touched me
You’re like a sudden breeze that blew in my life A new face, a new smile, new song And now I know I wanted you in my life all along
I guess, I must have saved an empty place in my heart For you to come and fill this space in my heart That long before I said I loved you I love you
Whatever happens this is true in my life When all the springs have come and gone Whatever dance I made or do in my life Whatever else that I may do in my life
You’ll always be something new in my life From now on
I know there always will be you in my life From now on…
Totally heart this song - so sweet and melodious!
By the way, it's Friday the 13 today (gosh!)...hope & pray nothing of a bad luck will happen (although I'm not that superstitious). Last week was quite a pretty bad week for my family, my two children caught the cold bug and my husband got sick with Chikungunya - an insect-borne virus , that is transmitted to humans by virus-carrying Aedes Mosquitoes & causes an illness with symptoms similar to dengue fever & which is an outbreak in my neighbourhood just recently. However, both my babies & husband has recuperated. But just last night, I started to have a bad sore throat and lil feverish - my only remedy was to drink lots of honey and lemon.
Well, hope to have a healthy weekend with lots of rest..which I may doubt having enough.
Sometime ago, my husband, Zorab learned about the medicinal purpose & financial value of the Tokay geckos...and he decided to hunt for them at our garage. He found a little Tokay but didn't manage to catch it. However, he did find their eggs and try if he can keep or breed them inside this container (of course he punched holes on it). It's been more than 3 weeks now but I still can't see them hatching anytime.
I read from my brother's blog about it recently...on how one can become wealthy by just selling them - 200gm - 300gm gecko can fetch up to RM8000 to RM100,000. But then again I heard it's financial value has gone down due to many suppliers in the market selling these tokays.
It's gonna be a long weekend for me...thought of taking leave come this Mon, 30 Aug - I had to bring Chardon for his clinic appointment and the next day, 31 Aug is our Malaysia's Independence Day (Merdeka Day) which is a public holiday for Malaysian.
