Dancing in Midlife Tune

Stamps! (banana dance)

Postcards! (banana dance d more)

All of these are from the one of the beautiful and kindest blogger i met in the blogosphere – Mommy Ebie! She is not my mom but i just like calling her mommy because she is one. Her one and only darling daughter Zeee is way way younger than me but i feel we are like sisters.

I know mommy E took the efforts of preparing these stamps to be shared to her online friends.  Then before they took a trip to Death Valley, i mentioned to her if she can pick some postcards for me, then i would really appreciate it.  The two cards here are from Death Valley and that Lone Pine was a place they visited some months back.

I will be scanning these cards for individual posting here in this blog, but will do so when the scanner is not so busy anymore and i also have the time to scan.   But it will be soon.!

Again, thank you Mommy Ebie!  You are the best!

After the morning worship, I came to the office to check my farms instead of going back to sleep.  I was on and off yesterday from my farms so i saw a lot of wasted crops this morning.  When i checked my mailbox, I got a mail from one of my chinese friends.  I greeted him Happy New Year in chinese pin yin but  only 99% right.  Hmm the spelling eh.  He also mentioned that this year is his brother’s so they wish him luck.  One thing good news about him now is permanent employment status in his Beijing company. We are also so happy for him. The last time i saw them was in Spring Festival 2005. Hmm that was five years ago.

Frank and I greeted each other valentine greetings through email because China blocked Facebook. They are blocked in most network sites. Good thing there is still yahoo.

Thank you so much Bonnie Bonsai for the love.  I am collecting postcards of places and surely this one adds to them.  I love each piece of them making me feel i’ve been to the place.

Am so happy to know you and yes, this is just the beginning.  Knowing you and every good blogger friend is one of the best perks in blogging.

Keep bloggin’ Ate Bonnie and thanks for the next postcard.

I’ve been to this place several times when being invited. The last time was Tuesday this week. I had a rough day that day and being invited to go out was just great. We were 3 and each of us ordered our choice. Ma’am Apple and i ordered same main dish – mongolian steak:

Ma’am Ruby ordered different but Ma’am Apple and I helped her finish it because who can’t jst resist this?:

It was a cold night yet i can’t resist to order this:

Location: Zoe Cafe
Address: Aguinaldo Street, Iligan City

Thank you Ma’am Ruby for the treat.

update:

My daughter saw this post and she asked me if the food is affordable.  I told her just so so and so i was able to promise her to bring her in this place next time.

Thank you, Mariuca for the invitation. So here i am helping BEAR-iuca go global.

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there lived a powerful Genie Princess named Mariuca who was known throughout the land as the friendliest, most popular blogger in the blogosphere kingdom. Adored and admired by international visitors and commentators from around the world, the Genie Princess travels the blogosphere on her magical flying carpet, always looking for ways to share her good fortune with others.

Over the past two years of blogging, Mariuca has met so many new people, from all walks of life and all over the world, each one bringing a little of their culture and lifestyle when they visit and comment on Mariuca’s two sites. So on her 2nd Blog Anniversary, Mariuca wanted to celebrate with all of her international blogosphere buddies by hosting a bear-naming contests at Wishing On A Falling Star and Mariuca’s Perfume Gallery and to pass her two lucky, cuddly teddy bears along to the winners who came up with the best names.

On the opposite side of the world, from the moment Roxy (the prolific Roxiticus Desperate Housewives blogger) and her sweet daughters London and Maddie saw the teddy in his personalized t-shirt and blue muffler at Wishing On A Falling Star, they knew that he needed to come to live with their family in Mendham, NJ. The three New Jersey girls named him immediately and burst into a wonderful song for BEAR-iuca:

Mariuca received 16 possible names for the Mariuca Teddy Bear, making it hard for the Genie Princess to choose just one…then Alakazam! A bolt of lightning delivered the perfect way to share BEAR-iuca’s good fortune to bloggers around the globe. While the soft, stuffed, cuddly BEAR-iuca is on his way to live with Roxy, London, Maddie and Rex in the Roxiticus Valley, the Spirit of BEAR-iuca is racing through the blogosphere to bring happiness, holiday cheer, and beary best wishes to everyone who welcomes him into their online home and passes along the BEAR-iuca good luck charm to ten friends.

Please play along with us by following a few important rules:

1. Add your site(s) to the list once you have received the Spirit of BEAR-iuca badge of teddy bear cheer.
2. Pass along the Spirit of BEAR-iuca and his cheery badge to as many people as you like.
3. Leave a comment HERE once you’ve passed on the Spirit of BEAR-iuca.
4. Once Roxy and the Genie Princess have visited your site to make sure your links are complete and proper, you will then be added to the Master List.
4. To ensure everyone receives equal link benefit, please UPDATE your list regularly!

This blog is a supporter for WORLD PEACE!

One of my favorite peace songs – Let There Be Peace on Earth. Written long time ago by Jill Jackson and Sy Miller. Thanks to Mimi for starting this advocacy for peace and gave bloggers all over the world to join the calling. Am glad to be part of this, Mimi. And may everyone will have the peace we all wanted today, tomorrow, and the days to come.

Let there be peace on earth,
and let it begin with me.
Let there be peace on Earth,
the peace that was meant to be.

With God as our Father,
brothers all are we,
Let me walk with my brother,
in perfect harmony.

Let peace begin with me,
let this be the moment now.
With every step I take,
let this be my solemn vow,

To take each moment and live each moment
in peace, eternally.
Let there be Peace on Earth,
and let it begin with me.
