Trick or Treat

HALLOWEEN PARADE
on Monday!

Something to smile about

I've been in a non-blogging mood these past few days because of so many things that I have to personally mend, plus schoolwork keeps piling up. I didn't want to be too clear about certain issues I am undergoing in my life so as not to spoil nor ruin your day in my expense. But of course there should always be something to smile about.

1. It's Halloween! I hope that my daughter's school has something special prepared for that day. Her costume is so cute. We even had a dress rehearsal last week, with a touch of make-up and everything...She's been dying to try my make-up on.

2. A highschool friend of mine emailed me the other day. It has been a decade since we've seen each other, that was way back highschool graduation. She's is California right now and would be staying until November. We're planning to meet in Las Vegas!

3. On the 11th is Veteran's Day, the next upcoming holiday to look forward to. I hope we could go somewhere fun, like San Francisco. It has been awhile since I went there and I haven't taken pictures or toured the place as much as I want to. The only setback is the 7 hour drive.

4. The gloomy, overcast weather is here, and I love it. It's chilly and dark in the morning with layers of fog in the sky. I miss wearing flannel pajamas and comfy bathrobe.

And one more thing...pumpkin carving!!! I hope i could gather nice pictures to show for my next post. Good day everyone!

Psyching myself up

I've always thought that I am a dynamic person. I thought I'm someone who is flexible and would always welcome change because to experience change means that there is a little bit of a risk-taker in me. Or so I thought. Truth is, I'm afraid of change. I keep pushing on the idea that it is important for someone to be flexible at all times, ready to embrace any kind of spontaneity. But I have come to realize that I am quite the opposite. Now I am suffering the consequence through the constant battle I have with myself whether or not I should do this or that. I hate this feeling, and am willing to do a major overhaul. The key is however, not to listen to the little voice inside who's contented with mediocrity. It's frustrating but somehow I believe that I can benefit from this and finally breakthrough. I just have to believe. I know I can do more than what I think I am capable of. Life is too short to live by the sidelines.

A dream is a wish your heart makes

A dream is a wish your heart makes
When you're fast asleep
In dreams you lose your heartaches
Whatever you wish for, you keep
Have faith in your dreams and someday
Your rainbow will come smiling thru
No matter how your heart is grieving
If you keep on believing
the dream that you wish will come true

My daughter has long been waiting for this lovely classic Disney movie "Cinderella" which I have learned to love when I was about her age. The songs had a nostalgic feel into it, bringing up memories of my childhood. I even remember singing "A dream is a wish your heart makes" in our kindergarten days. Classic Disney movies like Snow White, Dumbo, Pinnocchio etc. are my first love when it comes to animated films. The ones made today like Toys Story, Monsters Inc. are hilarious, and no doubt very high-tech but nothing beats the classics. What I love most are the slow, waltz-like songs which are accompanied by a princess dance.

And oh, got the 1st & 2nd season of Gilmore Girls on sale! Yey!

Via cellphone

I am blogging right now via cellphone! How cool is that! :-D But I couldn't go any longer than this post I'm making. It's hard to type in one letter at a time using only my index finger. I'd rather do it the conventional way...But as you can see, if there's a will, there's a way.
