HAPPINESS!

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

This song is mastered by my dad & my daughter Czeskah ( well, and us too!). During those  times we love to play it over & over again while inside the car & at home dad would play his guitar while singing it with Czeskah ( and  again, us too :D )

Four years ago, August 30, 2003 they were set to do this duet during Cassy’s dedication (my 2nd & youngest daughter) but didn’t push through *sniff* *sigh* *sad*— don’t ask me why. argh!

Anyways, I wanna share the lyrics of the song.To some, life seems to be soooo complicated &  all. Contentment seems nowhere to be found. Disappointment sets in easily — domino  effect — Happiness  is far from reality. Embracing depression with all arms without knowing it.

This song will help you realize that HAPPINESS IS EVERYWHERE - we  just don’t recognize it — we tend to take little things for granted but TRULY those little things are the precious ones.

Check out  the lyrics * happy face*

Lea:
You know some kids ask us what happiness really is.
Well, to me happiness is a hamburger, going to the movies, new clothes.
Well, what’s your happiness, gerard?

Gerard:
My happiness is a hotdog sandwich, new rubber shoes, new t-shirts,
New jeans and also my favorite part of happiness is love.

Happiness is two kinds of ice cream
Finding your skate key, telling the time
Happiness is learning to whistle
Tying your shoe for the very first time
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band
And happiness is walking hand in hand

Happiness is five different crayons
Knowing a secret, climbing a tree
Happiness is finding a nickel
Catching a firefly, setting him free
Happiness is being alone every now and then
And happiness is coming home again

Lea:
Happiness is morning and evening

Gerard:
Daytime and nighttime, too

Both:
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That’s loved by you

Gerard:
Happiness is having a sister

Lea:
Sharing a sandwich

Both:
Getting along
Happiness is singing together when day is through
And happiness is those who sing with you

Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime, too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That’s loved by you

*** Now, what’s your happiness? — a LOT, right? :-)

BE MERRY. BE  HAPPY.

MANGO BRAVO!

Sunday, June 24th, 2007

Yesterday, I  ate 2pcs of sweet ripe Mango for breakfast. After lunch, I ate four cheeks of manggoes ( 2 pcs minus the buto).

Then  came afternoon snack. My sis  & I headed Via Mare, Promenade for  a  merienda.I  wasn’t thinkin’ of  any  Mango snack on  our way  to Promenade instead I  was craving  for fresh  lumpia  &  other all time fave filipino merienda in  Via Mare.

We got the table with the sofa &  as  the waiter handed  us the menu — oooohhh! Puto  Maya  caught  my attention. Of  course,  I still order fresh  lumpia -  Ianne got bagnet with rice & pinakbet - yes! for snack :-) & I  added Puto Maya. Puto Maya is  decorated slices of  sweet ripe  manggoes topped  with a cup of biko sprinkled with sesame seeds…. mmmmmm

As the Puto Maya was served to us - my sis  & I strongly feel that it’s perfect to pair it with hot purong cacao.So, I ordered tsokolate &  we poured it  over the  Puto Maya &  we shared the puto maya savoring it in every  bite!

Gourdo’s was our first stop  after  having  our  snack.While we were  there I was about to  buy a  Mango scent  oil - ‘m  very near the cashier already but  think twice  coz mejo nakakhilo.Nevertheless, I got hooked with the  Mango scent  for  a couple of  minutes  of all  the scented oil they offer.

We  eneded  the day doing  grocery in  Unimart.

I  eneded  the  night, with a midnght snack of guess what? –  a whole pc. of Mango.

I  woke up this morning  eating  four  slices of sweet ripe mango  before bringing cassy to  school.

My daughter Cassy  is such a  junior –  she loves mango  sooo much too &  she have it for lunch.

that’s it. gotta go mango!
