there’s a new meme in town

Memory Lane Monday button

Yup, there is a new meme in town: Memory Lane Monday, hosted by sis Mel. There’s been a buzz about this on our Facebook group a few weeks before it started + I thought it was one ideal avenue to showcase some trips down memory lane. I meant to join the first week it was out, but, alas, this mum just had too much on her plate that before I knew it, the linky is closed for the week.

This early, am planning on what to post for next week’s topic, which happens to be all about Christmas cards {which is very timely as I’ve just sealed our 2011 christmas cards, ready to be mailed the next time the post office opens :)}. I’m probably going to schedule my post just so I will be sure that it will be posted first thing on Monday! ^_^

Join us in this trip down memory lane, will you? 🙂

someday i'd like to teach my son….

When SAHMone Speaks

As a mother, what do you think will be the best teachings you can pass on to your children?

I guess I have loads of stuffs I want to teach my son + a lot of invaluable teachings that I’d like to pass on to him, that hopefully he will teach his own children when his time comes. I’d like to teach him to be God-fearing, to always put his faith in the All, believing that it is through Him that everything is possible.

I’d like to teach him how to sing + read, I’d like to teach him to not take himself very seriously + to learn how to laugh at himself too. I’d like to teach him how to be a citizen of the world, not merely satisfied, snug + secure in his comfort zone, but to also think of other people out there who are in need + extend help in his own little ways.

I’d like to teach him how to do his share in taking care of this Planet  we’ve inherited. I’d like to teach him to follow his dreams + be guided by his passions. I’d like to teach my son how to run, how to swim, how to fly kites and write poetry, I’d like to teach him how to be street-smart (even if I am not ;)) +, more importantly,  to live his life to the fullest! 😉

Love + Light,

chic in black monday 03: fountain

fountain

This photo was taken when we went to Subic last weekend. I kinda have this thing about fountains, I think they are grand + gaudy yet peaceful+ relaxing all at the same time.The cascading waters is a site to behold + the ripples of it are infinitely mesmerizing, they always seem inviting me to dip my hands in. Plus they sort of remind me of wishing wells too 😉
