Kars (cars) in Korea

I'm not really into cars, but that was fun! :)

#ThankfulThursdays

I'm at a point in my life when I am just downright thankful for all the blessings God has given me. With a recent blessing I just received for my career, it was quite timely that we had scheduled another out-of-towner after the last one we had in January.

My Sister And Me

The year flew by so quickly. Who would have thought that my then-newlywed sister has just recently celebrated her first wedding anniversary.

I communicate better in rhymes, so when I was tasked to make a speech for her wedding reception, I made a poem dedicated to the couple.  In honor of this milestone in their life, I'm posting in this blog that poem. Happy Anniversary Louise & Ian! :)

MY SISTER AND ME  ....... AND IAN

People often ask me if we ever fight

I always reply, if she was a different person, yes we might

People say sisters will often disagree

I hear that and say to myself – “Lucky Me”

That’s how close we are,

My sister and me

Back in school when I ran out of allowance money,

She was my bank account that never ran empty

When there were times when I was at a loss of what to wear,

She never hesitated to open her closet and share

That’s how close we are,

My sister and me

I was lucky we both wore the same size

That way I could borrow her clothes and shoes that I find nice

I looked up to her when I was a kid

That at times I believe I annoyed her with all the imitating I did

But she never once said I was a nuisance

That’s how close we are,

My sister and me

She has been my roommate for as long as I can remember

We would always talk and chat and laugh before we slumber

My brother and I always felt we were number one in her heart

So I don’t doubt it will be different when we are apart

That’s how close we are,

My sister and me

For Ian:

Today, at church, as my sister walked down the aisle

I honestly could not help but smile

I could not think of anyone else more suited for her

But you who I’m sure will give her a good future

I know that both of you will soon leave, so achi will take away half of my closet

But it won’t matter because at this time I’m all set

To accept that after everything we’ve been through – my sister and me

It’s time to go through your own journey together,

As in this life you go through,

It’s now my sister and you.

This was scripted =p

Soap Opera pose ;-)

 

Because I thought everything you did was cool! ;-)



Last visit :)

The best things in life

I totally agree :)

Aloha!

"Amazing friends, summer nights;
Chocolate ice cream, mud slide fights;
Half the summer is gone already, 
So let's spend the rest of it - slow and steady!"

This pretty much summed up our quick beach escapade, as summer began drawing to a close. It was too much of a waste if we allowed the summer of 2013 to slip by without getting soaked by the sea, sun nor sand. 

So we FINALLY had a much-awaited team summer outing, and it didn't even matter that it was just on the island right across the workplace ;-)

...because my name is short enough to write on the sand :)

1 - Highlighter girls 2 - No, not complete
3 - I love my hammock! I think I have 5 shots in the same hammock :))
4 - Spot the odd (no shades) one out 5 - Yes, this is EVERYONE! :)
