15 Years
Time flies... we are still sing your songs.
海闊天空 - BEYOND
曲︰黃家駒
詞︰黃家駒
*今天我 寒夜裡看雪飄過
懷著冷卻了的心窩漂遠方
風雨裡追趕 霧裡分不清影蹤
天空海闊你與我 可會變〔誰沒在變〕
多少次 迎著冷眼與嘲笑
從沒有放棄過心中的理想
一剎那恍惚 若有所失的感覺
不知不覺已變淡 心裡愛〔誰明白我〕
#原諒我這一生不羈放縱愛自由
也會怕有一天會跌倒
背棄了理想 誰人都可以
哪會怕有一天只你共我
重唱 *,#
仍然自由自我 永遠高唱我歌 走遍千里
重唱 #
背棄了理想 誰人都可以
哪會怕有一天只你共我
重唱 #

十年前、後的朋友
十年前,結識新朋友是交換名字,交換電話;
十年後 ,做朋友是交換卡片,交換電郵。
十年前,認識而有來往的,叫朋友;
十年後,認識而有來往的 ,大部分叫同事。
十年前,能夠談天的都是知己;
十年後,能夠慷慨解囊的才算朋友。
十年前,聖誕節是朋友節,普天同慶;
十年後,聖誕節即情人節 ,請勿打擾。
十年前,每月的零用錢,是公開的秘密;
十年後,工資是不能公開的秘 密。
十年前,朋友聚會是汽水與籃球;
十年後,朋友敘舊是啤酒與K歌。
十年前,什麼話題也可以刨根問底;
十年後,我們熟練「點到即止 」的技巧。
十年前,約會沒有目的;
十年後,沒有目的就沒有約會。
十年前,什麼場合都適用AA 制;
十年後,每餐總有被請或請人的理由。
十年前,見面每問「讀了什麼書」;
十年後,見面只問入了什麼股。
十年前,相約看電影,結伴去暢泳,日子無憂無慮;
十年後 ,相約做婦檢,結伴做按摩,生活疲憊多慮。
十年前,習慣直斥對方的缺點;
十年後,學懂包容對方的短處。
十年前,只需學習與朋友相處;
十年後,還要懂得與朋友的另一半相處 。
十年前,大家活在相同的生活圈子?,簡單而專一;
十年後 ,我們在不同的圈子打滾,複雜而多變。
十年前,我們漫談「理想」;
十年後,我們謾罵「現實」。
十年前,認定的那幾個知己金蘭;
十年後,謝天謝地,他們依然如故,與我常在。

Which Shakespeare Play Are You?
Romeo and Juliet
You are a hopeless romantic. Everything in your life is very dramatic, but you know that ultimately love will conquer all.
Oh no... is that right? I truly doubt about the result as above!
From Facebook
C'est La Vie, Mon Chéri 新不了情
如果人生最壞只是死亡,生活中怎會有面對不了的困難!
It is one of my favorite Cantonese movies and somebody has kindly uploaded it on You Tube now. Therefore, I link up all the parts in sequence in the playlist as above or you could click here.
Enjoys!

Baby Shoes
Tulip, my wonderful yoga buddy who also is a baby shoe expert. She showed me her company's website the other day and I was amazed with the style, design and color of her products. I guess babies need to be trendy and cool like their parents do.

A custom made guitar
Pat Macaluso, my friend in Seattle is an experienced custom made guitar maker. After checking out his website, I know the complexity and labor of making a guitar now.
人生有三態,悲觀、樂觀與達觀
悲觀的人在山腳看世界,看到幽冥小徑;
樂觀的人在山腰看世界,看到柳暗花明;
達觀的人在山頂看世界,看到天廣地清。
悲觀的人說:人生像一杯苦酒,清濁均苦澀。
樂觀的人說:人生像一杯美酒,點滴皆芬芳。
達觀的人說:人生像一杯清泉,冷暖都清涼。
悲觀的人看到花謝的悲傷;
樂觀的人看到花開的燦爛;
達觀的人看到花果的希望。
悲觀的人見到人生的生老病死;
樂觀的人見到人生的甘甜喜樂;
達觀的人見到人生的春夏秋冬。
悲觀的人嘆人生步步走向死亡;
樂觀的人讚人生步步邁上尖端;
達觀的人悟人生步步回歸自然。
悲觀的人趨向陰暗一角;
樂觀的人迎向光明一面;
達觀的人橫跨陰陽二界。
悲觀的人埋怨風向;
樂觀的人等待風向;
達觀的人調整風帆。
悲觀的人用加法生活,平添勞苦;
樂觀的人用減法生活,減少憂傷;
達觀的人用除法生活,分享喜樂。
如果黑暗不能映現星光,
我寧可趨向太陽。
如果哭泣不能看見海洋,
我寧可面對穹蒼。
如果埋怨不能喚回春天,
我情願化身春燕。

What German philosopher are you?
You are Gottfried Leibniz: Leibniz was a learned German philosopher, mathematician, scientist, engineer, and... a whole lot more. Leibniz was basically a genius. Like Leibniz, you're proud of your education, feel strongly about your faith, are involved in a LOT of fields, and are generally an optimist. "When a truth is necessary, the reason for it can be found by analysis, that is, by resolving it into simpler ideas and truths until the primary ones are reached."

A cool example
Will Lau is taking challenge for a meaningful cause.

Surgery Part 2
My Mom will have a brain surgery tomorrow morning. Although this one will be a simpler than the last one, my dad is worried... so am I. If there is no surprise, my mom will be discharged by Wednesday.
Again, I will be hanging out with my friends tonight to escape from the stress.

Dear GP,
How're you? We have not talked since Jun 5. Guess that you might be thinking about that...
or you have already moved on as I have asked before.
Will we talk again?
Yours truly,

Angel by Shaggy
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
Life is one big party when you're still young
But who's gonna have your back when it's all done
It's all good when you little, you have pure fun
Can't be a fool, son, what about the long run
Looking back Shorty always mention
Said me not giving her much attention
She was there through my incarceration
I want to show the nation my appreciation
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend when I'm in need, lady
You're a queen and as so you should be treated
Though you never get the lovin' that you needed
Could have left, but I called and you heeded
Begged and I pleaded, mission completed
Mama said that I and I dissed the program
Not the type to mess around with her emotion
But the feeling that I have for you is so strong
Been together so long and this could never be wrong
Girl, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Closer than my peeps you are to me, baby
Shorty, you're my angel, you're my darling angel
Girl, you're my friend and I'm in need, lady
Uh, uh Girl, in spite of my behavior, said I'm your savior
(You must be sent from up above)
And you appear to me so tender, say girl I surrender
(Thanks for giving me your love)
Girl, in spite of my behavior, well, you are my savior
(You must be sent from up above)
And you appear to me so tender, well, girl I surrender
(So thanks for giving me your love)
Now life is one big party when you're still young
And who's gonna have your back when it's all done
It's all good when you little, you have pure fun
Can't be a fool, son, what about the long run
Looking back Shorty always mention
Said me not giving her much attention
She was there through my incarceration
I wanna show the nation my appreciation

溫柔對待親愛的人
對待家人,我們習慣成自然地不懂禮貌,不會溫柔,
不是大呼小叫,就是懶得搭理。因為太過熟悉了,而不知珍惜。
「你快點行不行!?大男人這麼會磨蹭,像個老婆子!」
便利商店內櫃檯前,婦人對抱著兒子選購飲料的丈夫吼叫,轉過身卻軟了嗓:
「先生,請幫我挑三個茶葉蛋,要入味一點的喔!」類似的情景應該常看見。
比如,丈夫在外活躍又健談,被公司的女同事們封為幽默高手,
回到家,卻成了自閉症患者,不是盯著電視,就是看著報紙,
對妻子的說話充耳不聞,或斥喝閉嘴觀察發現,
這樣「裡外不一」的情形在多數人身上、多數家庭裡頭都會發生,
或是慣性,或屬偶發,並且被「公然」接受。
就像你遇見在爭吵的夫妻,丈夫或妻子轉過臉望見你時,會露出招呼的笑臉,
回過頭又繼續爭吵,那麼般地自然。
對待家人,我們卻習慣成自然地不懂禮貌,不會溫柔,
不是大呼小叫,就是懶得搭理。
因為太過熟悉了,而不知珍惜,這實在是極為錯誤的心態。
對同事和氣,可以增進工作場所的融洽;
對朋友體貼,可以擴展自己的人際;
對上司尊重,可以利益自己前程。
卻不細想:對家人和氣,可以增進家庭的融洽;
對家人體貼,可以讓關係更親密;
對家人尊重,可以使生活充滿歡喜。
與家人的關係,是這世上最該珍惜的情感!
許多人卻忽略了。
一名死刑犯臨死前說了:「我很敬愛我老爸!可是我從沒對他這樣說,
我總是不理他的教訓,在他指責我時瞪著他,跟他耍流氓!
我其實很愛他,很感謝他從來沒放棄我,但我這一生,自懂事以來,
只在他快要病死的時候抱過他一次,就只那一次,我沒惹他生氣!」
你呢?總是對老媽嘟嚷肚子餓啦?襪子找不到啦?
總是對老爸呼喊機車壞了?沒零用錢了?
總是對兒女教訓沒個好樣?別給我丟臉?
錯了!趕快,換個口氣、態度表達看看!
絕對會有好的感受與獲得,
你的生活將因此更美好要自知苦惱,才不會拒苦事,
要自知薄福,才會惜福種福。
要自知不會修行,才會虛心學習......
Thanks, Wab Wab!
I will be kind to my loved one.

My favorite radio channel on iTunes
I listen to The Classical Guitar channel almost everyday. Although I have not played my guitar for age, this channel has kept me updated with the guitar world. They have wide range of music selections from traditional guitar, modern to dance. Here are my favorites
Carlos Barbosa Lima - Lullaby for Janne
Jacopo Gianninoto - V. Capirola - Recercare Sesto
Ottmar Liebert - Barcelona Nights
Eric Hansen - I Feel Fine

While My Guitar Gently Weeps by George Harrison
I look at you all see the love there thats sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I dont know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I dont know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.
I look at the world and I notice its turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I dont know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I dont know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.
I look at you all see the love there thats sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all . . .
Still my guitar gently weeps.

價格由老闆決定,價值請自己創造
在職場工作,幾乎都脫離不了薪水問題,尤其到一個新的工作環境,雖然嘴上總是以遵照公司規定來迴避,但是在心理上,鮮少有人不在乎薪水高低,何況在一個以收入衡量能力的社會。
日前,公司應徵業務人員,其中有一個人的資歷顯赫,對於我們公司來說,有點小廟容不了大和尚的狀況,因此即使讓他來面談,但我們都不抱太大的希望。
面談的時侯,我們也很誠實的跟他說,依據公司規定,並不能給了太高的薪水,沒想到他竟然接受不到他原來工作薪水一半的條件,讓我們有點喜出望外。
開始上班之後,也沒有任何出身大企業不好的習慣,準時上班,報表填寫清楚,勤跑客戶,過不了多久,他的業績遠遠超乎原本的預期,於是在最短的時間內,首度破格晉升,而且大幅度的加薪,自此,他也更加的賣力,為公司創造更多的業績。
原來他在前一個公司已做到一級主管,工作相當順手,薪水十分滿意,原以為可以就此衣食無虞的過一生,沒想到公司的一次海外投資失敗,老闆避走國外,讓他們連帶受累,哭訴無門。
其間,他也曾經因為薪水無法與自己所要求的相符而怨天尤人,總認為自己是懷才不遇,別的老闆都不識貨,但在經歷一段時間的挫折與沈澱之後,他選擇重新出發,重新體認到價值與價格的差異點。
他認為,"價格"是別人給的,隨時可以拿走,"價值"卻是自己創造出來的,任誰也無法帶走。
這些話讓我受益匪淺,尤其他也用實際的行動創造自己的價值,雖然我們只能付出部分的價格來僱用他,不過這已是我們所能給的最高限度,但他所帶給公司的價值,絕對是金錢無法衡量的。
A very important reminder for workers from all levels.

Ninna Nanna by Mariangela
Ninna nanna ninnaò questo amore a chi lo do
Lo do a te finché vivrò solo te io amerò
Ninna nanna ninnaò questo amore a chi lo do
Lo do a te finché vivrò e a nessun altro lo darò
Lo darò alla tua dolcezza quando tu mi parlerai
Ad ogni bacio ogni carezza che tu mi regalerai
Lo darò ai tuoi desideri quando a te mi stringerai
Lo darò a tutti i tuoi sogni che con me dividerai
Ninna nanna ninnaò questo amore a chi lo do
Lo do a te finché vivrò solo te io amerò
Ninna nanna ninnaò questo amore a chi lo do
Lo do a te finché vivrò e a nessun altro lo darò
E se vuoi farti un'idea di quanto è grande questo amore
Alza gli occhi verso il cielo e preparati a volare
E quando sarai arrivato sul pianeta più lontano
Quello è il raggio del mio amore ora sai quanto ti amo
Ninna nanna ninnaò questo amore a chi lo do
Lo do a te finché vivrò solo te io amerò
Ninna nanna ninnaò questo amore a chi lo do
Lo do a te finché vivrò e a nessun altro lo darò
Sognami amore mio
Ti coccolerò
Sognami amore mio
lo ti riscalderò
E come in una favola
Con un bacio ti sveglierò
Dormi amore nel mio letto dormi qui tutta la notte
E se sarà una notte fredda tu mi stringerai più forte
E quando poi sarà l'inverno io non me ne accorgerò
Sembrerà già primavera quando mi risveglierò
Ninna nanna ninnaò quando mi risveglierò
Ninna nanna ninnaò quando mi risveglierò
Ninna nanna ninnaò guarda fuori come piove
Ninna nanna ninnaò amore mio non te ne andare
Ninna nanna ninnaò si lo so che è già mattinò
Ninna nanna ninnaò resta qui stammi vicino
Sognami amore mio
Ti coccolerò
Sognami amore mio
Ti scalderò.

Sun Salutation A
Practicing yoga every with the one as above, may my arms get stronger and my body get more flexible.
Shakira- Objection
It's not her fault that she's so irresistible
But all the damage she's caused isn´t fixable
Every twenty seconds you repeat her name
But when it comes to meeeee you don't care
If I'm alive or dead so
objection I don't want to be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango!
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away
Next to her cheap silicon I look minimal
That's why in front of your eyes I'm invisible
But you gotta know small things also count
You´d better put your feet on the ground
And see what it's about so
Objection I don't want be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Objection
The angles of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango!
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way no no no
I wish there was a chance for you and me
I wish you could find our place to be
Away.... from... here...
- - - - - - - -
This is pathetic
and sardonic
It's sadistic
and psychotic
Tango is not for three
Was never meant to be....
But you can try it
Rehearse it
Or train like a horse it
But don't you count on me
Oh don't you count on me boy!
Objection I don't want be the exception
To get a bit of your attention
I love you for free and I'm not your mother
But you don't even bother
Objection I'm tired of this triangle
Got dizzy dancing tango
I'm falling apart in your hands again
No way I've got to get away
Get away, get away, hey hey hey get away
ah ha ha ha a ha ha ha , ah ha ha ha a ha ha ha
Im fallin apart in your hand again..
Get away ha ha...
I'm falling apart in your hands again
get away hey hey
I'm falling apart in your hands again
Get away
~~GET AWAY~~

10 weeks with Pure yoga
After joining Pure Yoga for 2.5 months in LP, here is my personal review.
Learning atmosphere: Classmates are open and try their best to do the pose. I have made new friends too.
Facility: OK. If sauna and steam room are added, will be nice. However, not sure how often and when do the staff clean the mats. (Myoga staff always clean the mats right after class.)
Timetable: Fine. I wish there are less one hour break in between classes and they should offer class at 8am on Saturday & Sunday.
Instructor: Most of them are very friendly and helpful. My favorite teachers are Ocean, Cinderella, Deva, Claudia, Lisa, Jasmine, Michael L, Serena, Will Lau and Bernadette. ( For those I have not mentioned, it might mean I never take their class or I don't know how to appreciate their teaching style.)
My favorite class: Hatha 1, Hot HR, Ashtanga and Jivamukti
Classes I have not taken yet: Anusara Mixed, Bollywood Fusion, Core, Hot Flow, Indian Dance, Kids Yoga ( I don't think I could qualify for that), Power 3, Prana/Med, Pre-Natal (Again, not yet), Satyananda YogaR Meditation, Pranayama & Yoga Nidra
Progress: I have lost 10 pounds and can do headstand with the wall. Also, I have tried backdrop and handstand with extra help from classmates and instructors.
Receptionists: Helpful. Some of them remember my name.
Overall, I enjoy most of my classes so far and look forward to getting shape before summer.
Let's work hard together, everybody!

Alicia Keys - Teenage Love Affair
Can't wait to get home
Baby dial your number
Can you pick up the phone
Cause I wanna holla
Daydreamin about you all day in school cant concentrate
Wanna have your voice in my ear till mama come and say its too late
Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care what nobody tell me
I'm gonna be here
Its a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
Another secret meeting
On the 5th floor staircase
I'm gonna give you this letter
Of all the things I can't say
Want u to be my first my last my ending and beginning
I write your name in my book your last name my first i'm your mrs
Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care what nobody tell me
I'm gonna be here
Its a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
Hey boy
You know I really like being with you
Just hanging out is fine
So maybe we can go to first base
Because I feel you
Second base
Want you to feel me too boy
Third base
Betta pump the brakes and baby slow down
I gotta go home now
Cause the lights are on outside
Wish there was somewhere to hide
Cause I just don't want to say goodbye
Cause you are my baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care what nobody tell me
I'm gonna be here
Its a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
My baby baby
Nothing really matters
I don't really care
What nobody tell me
I'm gonna be here
It's a matter of extreme importance
My first teenage love affair
Can't even remember my first teenage love affair... guess must be very different from this one.
不聯絡,不代表不想念
生命是罐頭,膽量是開罐器,我們要握著有膽量的開罐器,
才能打開生命的罐,也才能品嚐裡頭的甜美滋味!
有時候,你很想念一個人,但你不會打電話給他。
打電話給他,不知道說甚麼好,還是不打比較好。
你很想念爸爸和媽媽,所以打電話給他們,跟他們聊天。
可是,每一次,你們都會吵架收場。
下一次,當你拿起話筒,很想打電話給他們的時候,你會猶豫一下,然後放下話筒。
你打電話給一個很久沒有見面的朋友,以前,你們甚麼也可以談;
現在,只會談一些無關重要的事,那種感覺並不好受。
從此以後,當你想念他,你不會打電話給他。
你想打電話給舊情人,可是,他身邊也許有另一個人了,你跟他說些甚麼好呢?
這麼久沒聯絡了,還是不要再聯絡比較好。
分手的時候,大家做得很漂亮,這是很難得的,何必因為一時的思念而破壞當天的回憶?
想念一個人,不一定要聽到他的聲音。
聽到了他的聲音,也許就是另一回事。
想像中的一切,往往比現實稍微美好一點。
想念中的那個人,也比現實稍微溫暖一點。
思念好像是很遙遠的一回事,有時卻偏偏比現實親近一點。
思念很近,電話線的那一頭,卻好像很遠,還是不打電話比較好。
Don't worry. You are welcome to contact me anytime unless I inform you not to do so.
Friendship forever!
Cheers,
Candy

Progress
Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.
Sir Winston Churchill
British politician (1874 - 1965)
Keep trying, keep fighting and keep moving... Don't give up!

Simple & Surprising
Being sick these couple days, my body is numb and tired. My lower back has been killing me and I wish to cut it out. I would like to share 3 simple and surprising incidents which happens today with you here.
1) Taking Will Lau's Hatha 1 with no expectation again. It was easy with many twisting poses. Surely enjoys every minute in it. There was a new student next to me. It was her first time and she had a hard time at the downward facing dog. She did remind me my first yoga class and my body was so weak. I gave her a smile and tried to cheer her up.
At the end of the class, as usual I always drank the whole bottle of water and lied down and took a long rest. When I closed my eyes for 30s, Will Lau touched my head and acknowledged my good work (Maybe just the smile I usually kept on my face, or took his class regularly). I was surprised and happy!
2) Taking Lisa's Hatha 2 class, I looked outside of the window during the warrior 3 pose. The sky was blue and a few pieces of snow white cloud as a part of decoration. I was in awe of mother nature in this super busy and crowed city. Also, I was grateful for being free and happy as who I was at that moment.
3) On my way back home, I was day dreaming about some silly things while walking through the MTR station. Suddenly, there was a young lady raised her voice a simple sentence.
"Sister, you are so beautiful!"
I was shock at first. Then, I looked at her face and friendly smiled back.
Not hearing these types of compliment in public for age since moving back from Seattle (I got that alots from the bums in the US), there were many people watching over me and I did not pay much attention to my surroundings.

For Lovers by Pete Doherty & Wolfman
I'm running away with you
that's all i ever do
that's all we ever mean
i forgive you
everything
meet me at the railroad bar
about 7 oclock
we joke while the sun goes down
watch the lovers
leaving town
This is for lovers
running away
This is for lovers
running away
just for today
I'm running away with you
from yesterday's news
let's leave it all behind
help me back to my mind
I've paid the penalty
your the jailer rattling the key
but the key is mine
I keep a spare one every time
This is for lovers
running away
This is for lovers
running away
just for today
[Instrumental Break]
This is for lovers
running away
This is for lovers
running away
just for today
This is for lovers
running away
This is for lovers
running away
just for today
This is for lovers
running away
It is my first time to listen to Pete Doherty's music. Very fresh... love it!

Wondering
“Waiting is painful.
Forgetting is painful.
But not knowing which to do
is the worst kind of suffering.”

What's Your Sixth sense?
You know all about the five senses: sight, touch, smell, taste and hearing...But what's this elusive sixth sense* you sometimes hear people talk about? According to some, the sixth sense is a psychic ability or (in more down-to-earth terms) a gut feeling that helps you understand the world. Chances are you've had a run-in with your sixth sense--whether you knew it or not. So what is your sixth sense? What triggers that inner voice? Take this personality quiz and find out.
*Please be advised that real psychic ability has yet to be proven--though it is fun to think about!
Clairessence
Smell is your sixth sense. Also called clairessence (clear essence), you are a person who's very in tune with scent, from perfumes to flowers to toxic fumes. A person gifted with clairessence will often smell certain aromas even when the source cannot be found. Or you will associate certain people with certain scents. For example, if you are easily annoyed by a certain someone (ahem, younger sib?) you may pick up an unpleasant odor when he/she is around. Now, this might be due to some stinky laundry, but often it's something that's intuitive and only you can experience. Some even say that a clairessence will smell roses when a person has died or recovered from a bad illness. Hmm...
From Facebook
I guess the result is pretty reliable. That's why I love wearing perfume and always associate my friends with the smell of their deodorant or perfume. Therefore, remember wear something smell good when you are with me, ok?

Fiona & Pinky
"The most terrifying day of your life is the day your first one is born. Life, as you know it, is gone. Never to return. But they learn to walk, to talk, and they grow up to become the most delightful people you will ever meet."
- Bill Murray tells Scarlet Johansson in Lost in Translation.
Although Fiona is not my daughter, Yes. I know. Really missing out!
Although Fiona is not my daughter, Yes. I know. Really missing out!
Still haven't got a chance to meet this little cute person.
Look forward to seeing my sister and her "new born" daughter ASAP.
Love actually is all around
Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the twin towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.
From the movie - Love Actually
