Happy New Year Message

Hello!!! Have you prepared anything to welcome upcoming New Year? Wow... I just felt we had New Year couple months ago and in the next two days we will welcome 2010. How old will you be in 2010? We are going to get older, aren't we?

Well, although I will get older but I never felt that way. I still feel like the first time I married my husband seven years ago although the white hair starts growing one by one, he, he.... By the way at work most people called me "Miss" or "Young Woman". That's cool. Probably if they know how old I am, their eyes will move forward 1/4 inch, he, he.... (sorry it's just kidding).

Yes, they are right. I look much younger than my age and I feel grateful for this. Someone asked me what the things that made me looked younger? I said, "I don't know. Maybe I drink a lot of water and eat a lot of vegetables." Well, I didn't prepare the answer for that question but I'm sure one the most reason we will look much younger because is from our heart. Love one another like you love yourself. It seems easy but not. Be happy and enjoy your life! It seems easy but not either. But I do enjoy my life although I am not a rich person but I am rich in love. Love and support from the people around you will be very important to reach your dream.

Talking about dream - Dream is a challenge and I like challenge. Challenge makes me moving forward and be a positive person. Without challenge, we never know the ability we've already had. Be a winner although if your never win something but you have a heart as a WINNER!!!! Make your life becomes great blessing to others and you will see the meaning of its life.

Enjoy your holiday!! I attach a great music video here that I hope it will inspire you in facing 2010. HAPPY NEW YEAR for all of you!!!!

New Year Resolutions

New Year will be coming soon. Do you ever think what will you plan for 2010? I think most people every year always have something to reach for their goal. I don't have special goal or resolution except I hope my upcoming inspiring novel will be publsihed successfully in February 2010. Other than that, I am planning to write a book for upcoming creative writing class for PMOH, then will continue to write my second novel and keep writing Amerindo Book in series.

Right now I have finished around 35% writing my second Amerindo Book. I can not finish it as the schedule I've made (before Christmas) because of many things happened, so probably after reviewing my manuscript (more 100 thousands words) from my professional editor, then I will finish writing my second Amerindo Book.

So what is your resolution for 2010? If you've had it or are planning it, do you ever think that you will keep your promise yourself?

According to this link, mentioning why most poeple have made some promises every new year but many of them don't keep their promises. The reasons are:

- We set too many lofty goals. Besides, who can deal with a long to do list?
- We give our goals a time limit. This time frame contributes pressure and anxiety, -so we avoid initiation. After all, if I don't try, I can't fail!
- Most resolutions are about discovering why we act the way we do; according to Carl Jung the hardest person to confront is the self.
- Most resolutions relate to our personal needs and usually we take care of others first and don't make time for ourselves.
- We think in terms of a rigid plan and if an obstacle comes our way, we can't change our initial plan and regroup; we just give up.

Therefore let us resolve not to make any New Year's Resolutions for 2010. Instead this minute, (don't wait for January 1st), let us change our perception from a negative to a positive. Stress is the root of all evil in our lives. Stress robs us of health and happiness. However, stress is inevitable as it is enmeshed with living. We need to put our mind and body into de-stressing. Imagine putting oil all over your body and letting the stress just slide off Realistically, some major stressors in our lives are too overwhelming to slide off: like loss of a loved one, a house, a job However, we can eliminate the little stressors in our lives and interestingly enough, the little stressors do the most damage!

We need to find our own delicate balance about ridding ourselves of stress. Everyone has a personal, private and effective method. The key is motivation here and now not tomorrow. Let us make it easy on ourselves to shed stress in an easy, liquid way. Cut the shackles that bind us to doubt, negativity and perfection. Emerge into the company of positive people, positive writing and positive thinking. Here are some suggestions to help:

- Feel intuitive and act on your feelings. Feelings are more honest than thoughts.
- Live outside the box; come out of the cocoon. Cultivate and express your creativity. Rejoice in it.
- Live your authentic life even if you are a caregiver. Everyone has a right to live.
- Reinterpret a negative to a positive with compassion and love. Who knows what the truth is anyway. Feel free to use humor to reinterpret your life as a sitcom. Laughter is still the best medicine.
- Honor your physical being - exercise away stress and eat balanced meals. No deprivation, please! Forbidden foods caused us to be evicted from Paradise in the first place. Adam and Eve did a lot of walking in and out of Eden.

All these suggestions can be summed up as: Establish a balance between giving and receiving - physically, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually. No more lists, guilt driven promises to change, or over-thinking the obvious. Simply, see yourself as happy and new. Begin with this beautiful visual affirmation of yourself. You are continuously being reborn to new possibilities - not just once a year. And don't forget to pat yourself on the back - regularly.

Twelve Days Christmas Gift

On Monday, 12/14/2009, my husband gave me a sweet surprise, a very sweet twelve days Christmas Gift. I should open them one gift every day till Christmas.


I saw there was a big message on one its side, then I read it:

The Twelve Days of Christmas,
A tradition for so long;
Is used to show great love through gifts,
and written in song.
This special Christmas season,
I present these gifts to you.
To thank you for your love and care,
you show the twelve months through.
Please, choose a gift, just one each day.
Any gift will do.
Each one is special, not to share,
and chosen just for you.
And as you choose and open gifts,
Christmas will draw near.
But my love for you will not end there,
it lasts throughout the year

What a lovely message!! He asked me to open one gift that morning before I left for work, and voila!!!.... Mary Kay products I used to use. Thank you, Honey... It was very sweet Christmas gift.

I wish all of you will have wonderful Christmas. Remember, Christmas is not about what the gifts we will get from others but we should remember the greatest gift God has given us, baby Jesus who was born and died for our sins so we can be free. Amen!!!



My first Twelve Christmas Gift from beloved hubby - Mary Kay Products.

1st Gift - 12 days before Christmas: Six MK miniature perfumes.









2nd & 3rd Gifts - 11 & 10 days before Christmas: Gingerspice Wishes body lotion & Belara body powder - hmm... I like its smell.




4th Gift - 9 days before Christmas: Oil - free eye makeup remover, eye definer & makeup wallet.









Left: 5th Gift - 8 days before Christmas: a pair of Cubic Zirconia earings & necklace.

Right: 1st Christmas gift from my little daughter - she bought it with her own money at Christmas Santa's shop at her school. I remember she brought $ 3.00 in her purse and her teacher asked her what a small gift she would buy it for, and she said she would buy a ring for her Mommy. It is very very sweet Christmas gift from 5 years old child.


6th Gift - 7 days before Christmas: a pair of stylist glove and satinhands (hand cream). This is good for cold seasson.

And this morning he said that he won $ 100.00 Pennsylvania Lottery. Wow!! I said it was Christmas present for him. He smiled - then handed me $ 20.00 (he, he...) He is a cute and kind lovely hubby, isn't he?

Beautiful Knockout Roses

Have you ever heard the name 'Knockout Roses'? If you love gardening and flowers, this name should be familiar for you. I have two Double Knockout Roses in my garden. I bought them online three years ago and last summer they had many beautiful roses grew as you see two photographs I attach below.

What are the special things about this flower?
Knockout Rose breeder, Bill Radler has created what many consider to be the easiest, most disease resistant rose on the market. The plants require very little attention from the gardener and will thrive in nearly all parts of the US making Knockout Roses the most popular rose in North America. Knockout Roses has four species:

1. Knockout Rose

This is the original Knockout rose, it will floor you with its amazing flower power. This powerhouse starts producing fire engine red blooms in the spring and does not let up until the first frost of Autumn. The most fool proof rose we have ever grown.







2. Double Knockout Rose

Double Knockout roses combine easy to grow, exceptional flowering power with a characteristic not often found in any rose, tolerance for shade. The fully double flowers completely cover compact plants making it perfect for a hedge or border.







3. Blushing Knocout Rose

Blushing Knockout blooms profusely from spring until fall. The shell pink flowers are dainty but will survive high heat and humidity without fail. Knockouts are perfect for hedges and a perfect companion for perennial gardens.







4. Sunny Knockout Rose

Summer seems to go on forever with the Sunny Knockout Rose. Plants begin to parade their buttery-yellow flowers in mid-spring and march right on through summers heat and into fall. A real showcase season-long color.

All those four kinds of Knockout Roses are not picky about soil types but will do better if you amend the soil with compost. For stronger plants and more vivid color fertilize in late spring and again in midsummer with fish emulsion and blood meal.


Now, with only a half of price ($ 9.98) per plant, you can get them all, or if you would like to try one kind of them, it's better you get it soon before they are sold out. Don't miss this special offer from roseknockouts.com.

You can order them with confidence. Why? Because they have some things you should know before ordering:

1. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your roses, notify them within 30 days of receiving the plants and they will either refund your money for the full cost of the plants or issue replacements, whichever you prefer.

2. Upon notice to Roseknockouts.com of dissatisfaction with the items supplied you will be required to return the items. Do not destroy or discard the plants as this will result in a return/ replacement denial. They will not issue refunds or replacements for items that customer fails to return.

3. With flat rate shipping $ 13.85 you can track your order with UPS and you can pay it through your Paypal account or visa/ master card. It's very flexible, isn't it?

So, what you are waiting for. Gave them a call at Toll Free Phone: 1-800-673-1134 or write an email to them at info@roseknockouts.com if you have any question regarding your order.

Then, as like me... soon on next summer, you will enjoy your beautiful Knockout Roses blossom in your garden.
