I read this, and liked it. :)
So now I post it for you.
enjoy!


Life is a gift that everyone should cherish dearly.
Life is gift that cannot be taken lightly.
Life is a gift that was meant to be used right.
Life is a gift that comes only once.
Life is a gift that keeps the world alive.
Life is a gift that was meant to hold on to.
Life is a gift that needs all the care in the world.
Life is a gift that was not meant to be thrown away.
Life is a gift because you are here. Breathing. Walking. Talking. Loving. Laughing. Living.
How are you using your gift?
How much does it mean to “you”.

How often do you really take the time to get away from all the racket and the noise, the busy day, and get some alone time; some quiet solitude?
And because I’m sure all of you have, once in your life, how often have you taken that alone time to really think about all that God’s given you?
Your breath—which is something we humans all take for granted—keeps us alive. Such a small and “normal” thing to do—to breathe. But we only breathe because the creator up above has blessed us with the breath of life. How often do you think, “Wow, I’m breathing. And I’m healthy! I’m alive because God is good.” ? think about that. Most of the time, we tend to forget how precious life is and how easy it is for it to be taken from us. If you really think about it, you’ll really notice how amazing every little part of you is. How important it is to “you”. It’s not just your body. It’s your living machine, every little piece is needed and important. And any moment, God could take it away from you.
You were given breath. Take it, use it wisely, don’t underestimate it; but thank God you are alive.
Take that time.
It’ll do you a lot of good.
Try.

Grandmother


Time has aged your finger tips
Yet still they paint the sky
You’re beautiful & wonderful
It comes from deep inside

Time has sent you far from young
But still I hear you sing
And with laughter in your eyes
To all of us, happiness you bring

Today I may be far away
But do not feel alone
For with my prayers, and angels’ wings
I send with love, my arms

I know I say it not enough
But know one thing is true
I’m thankful for everything
& to have a grandmother like you

No one can ever replace you
And time cannot erase
No book can hold the memories
Of the beauty that you’ve made

Grandma you are special
I think of you every day
May angels go beside you
On this very special day


Happy birthday Obachian.
i'm with you in my prayers.
Aishitemasu yo.

something to post about.

a lot has happened recently. so I will just choose the parts that I remember being reeeeeeeally enjoyable:) heh.
Joe's B-day was lots of fun. on the 5th we sent him out to get a movie with Greg while us girls stayed home to make the livingroom look all cozy; put together some snacks and Lixy made a real yum yum cheese cake.
theeeeen, the next day we had a surprise party for him, this time the love hut came. it was the FIRST "surprise party" that actually turned out as a surprise. nahaha, we need to work on those ones. heh. told joe to cut the "cake" and the balloon burst all over him. haha poor Bunny, his shirt and face was covered with whipcream. we all sat around the fire outside in the backyard and cooked marshmallows, ate cake, drank hot cocoa and played chinese telephone. hahaha. turned out..pretty strange. seems that people always hear wrong and change it to something sexual or somethen...tsk tsk. then around...9:30? we went to Sizeria and "chilled". ha. anyhow. was good days...

on another note!

Chiba had a gathering!!! eheheehe. it's pretty cool:p it's been...5...6 months? since we last had one. it was nice to actually SEE everyone in Chiba again. so much for living so close to each other, it takes us five or so months to all get together...sad. we need to have more. ne Chiba folks??:)
i'll post some photos, or maybe a lot...wakanai.
we'll just see how my blogs acts.

Happy Birthday Bunny Boy!


Today is the day that someone very special in my life should be the king of the world. Hee hee. He deserves it. He’s the most caring, loving, sweet, handsome, adorable, understanding, patient, funny, charming, smart, crazy and cute person.
And I thank God, for being so wonderful & taking extra time in creating him and sending him down on this special day so many years ago.
There’s never been a moment when Baby would not be there, there was never a tear drop on my cheek that he hasn’t noticed. There has never been a heartache he has not healed, never been a frown he hasn’t kissed away. He always knows how to cheer me up, always has the right words to say when I am feeling down, he always can bring in the sun on a rainy day. And even the times when it’s still sprinkling, he always has an umbrella to keep me dry.
And Babe, if I knew all those really special, beautiful, romantic, heart-melting words, you know I would say them all, and sing them to you.
Sigh…
This makes me want to study more on my Spelling & vocabulary, heeeeeeeheee.
Wink.
But I guess, since I don’t have so many poetic words, all I can do is promise you that I’ll always be there for YOU. No matter what. I’m sorry for the times I let you down, and for the times when I make you feel stupid. You’re not. You’re my picture of perfection. I promise to make it all up to you, even though I know I’ll still fall, all I wanna do is be a better person for you. I celebrate this day because it makes my life complete. It brought you. There’s not much left to say Baby, but soon I will go downstairs and give you a big hug and kiss and tell you how special you are to me.
You’ll always be my Bunny Boy, and I’ll be your girl. ;) Happy birthday Baby.

Life would suck without you Bunny, thanks for coming into my life.
