Abnormal Blood Count

Received a letter from doctor's office today (somehow sent to my old office address) and apparently, blood count is abnormal! --- something to do with the white blood cells. One of those days when you get a letter or so, I wonder what comes up next. I seem to be handling it OK - although I'd like some answers sooner but have scheduled for a FRIDAY appt. Mean time, just spent a few minutes browsed the Internet about the 'count'-- but I guess, nothing new since I also did that before once for ANA when she had abnormal count. Will see ... if anything, will deal with it accordingly. I have always lived each day as though tmr never comes, whatever I can fullfill I have prioritized and did my best to complete the tast/assignment/challenge .. so, life is good already. Still counting my blessings!

My Protective Angel

My Protector, Whom I Know Will Always Be There For Me, Going The Extra Mile, Have When He Does Not Have - Just So I Be Happy - How Blessed Am I A Person To Have Such A Great Dad, Truly Very Blessed

Remind me to buy ph card!? Gosh I have to admit then, so many things in my mind I would have almost forgot to call! Infact, I also forgot about today's drop off for ANA at IVY/ADY's house - their parents were so kind to invite ANA over. Same time I have an interview to conduct in the morning. I was even thinking of sending ANA to HKIDS but I guess not!

Since it's DD birthday, I thought maybe from now on, I can start writing abit about what I thought DD was as a person. He is definitely an angel who had protected and cared for me all he could. Go beyond the ordinary just so we can be happy. He is truly my blessing and I owe him alot - more than ever money can buy. He is very kind to his friends, neighbours and he loves his family. Unfortunately, he could not do it all - at this stage, I am sure although he has gotten back on track, living a decent minimalistic life, he's still always thinking, if he had more, he could have done more for those he loved and those who have had blessed him - I know him as a person who would without any thought, just give, give and give ..... all his life, he would give all he had.

Also, since I missed the very important Father's Day card, I better remind myself early to send DD's BD card and RM$388 ang pow - just like last year, so they both can go out have a nice seafood dinner without having to worry about the cost! I know DD likes sharkfins, are you going to order or your other half won't approve of it, ha!? Anyways Dad, you're the best as always and thanks for everything you have done for me ....(DD said he used the money to fix some parts of the car - how I wish I can give them more)

Friends: Spending Time

Very nice times we had tonight! AMB, JLT, JHN and I played a board game - like mahjong!?? Maybe the American version huh?! It's really exciting, I never thought I'd enjoy it, but I truly appreciate the times we have - the kids were messing up a little - well, mostly ANA and MG: but I am also happy to be able to take MG out and give JNC and MLN some time to themselves! It's nice to be nice to others!

Family Ties: Keeping In Touch

Decided to start writing about communications with MM & DD so I can keep improving on it. We called home today with a $1 ph card credit left, still get to talk couple of minutes but ANA insisted she speak! I am sure they are both really happy! Certainly, they are entertained! What's more best than to hear from your little grandkid! Esp, loaded with I love you and I miss you!

Voice Out Your Heart

Say nice things about people (friends, family or acquaintances) with your MOUTH through your HEART - because no one can hear it if you speak with your heart. That is life, many people assume they dont have to tell others how much they care, how much they appreciate, because they really don't if they don't want to put the effort to speak the words. Even the love for God, we have to speak it out to Him and not just expect Him to know it. I have many friends here nowadays, who constantly take the time and effort to let me (and my family know) how much they care and I truly appreciate the little act of love because they really do mean it. I learn from them and try to do the same. I must say, indeed, it does require consistent effort (for years!) and we have to remind ourselves from time to time (for years!), what is it we can do for others and not just always thinking about ourselves. I believe in doing the right thing (eventhough requires more effort and being less selfish), so they only way is -- practice makes perfect and I am all for it!

No Need To Pre-qualify Friends

Have you ever wondered why you dont have many friends (true or not true, whatever you call it) today, ever ask yourself instead have you been friends (true or not true) to many? More importantly - have you been SELECTIVE of your friends? Setting an invisible set of pre-qualifications before allowing others to enter into your life? I wanna spend abit more time thinking about this, and incorporate this more consistently into my daily way of life - not to be selective about anyone and welcome everyone with open arms. I know I have since long time ago broke the barriers but I also recently noticed that people out there do set such barriers for themselves ... thinking they are protecting themselves from getting hurt. Extending on this learning, I wanna try to reach higher grounds, being friends to every single human being I come in contact with - welcoming them with full open warm heart, like brothers and sisters no matter how imposing they may be, I shall choose not to think so! Ultimately, there's no shortcut- you have to give first b4 u receive.. and sometimes, give for a long long time before you receive because you reap what you sow, and who knows you've been receiving for so long, you have forgotten to give -- and since you are not planting any good seeds anymore, you can't expect to receive a harvest, isn't that logical!!??

Eyes On Me

Catchy eyes, but so very true eyes .. "I cannot see clearly if my eyes are on me" ~ Keith Green/Joel Osteen - Your Best Life Now. What it means is ... if we are focusing on our own problems, we wont' be happy... we won't be able to see or feel any happiness... Let's start to practice taking our own eyes off ourselves... and look at others, solve their problems and give them happiness, which will be guaranteed a return of happiness to us eventually.

My Guardian Angel

The Sweetest Person In My Life, Who's Been There For Me - And Will Always Be .. My Angel, Guardian, Love and Family -- Whom I Shall Love, Treasure and Never Abandon

ANA and MM made sure to give a nice morning massage to our dearest DD! We had lunch dim-sum with close friends at Din Dai Fong - very adhoc but its good to have friends around! Swing by Salad Master dinner show in the afternoon, same time to show around some friends what's going on on-island. Our celebration continued with our little own home business, which I think we're very happy to have started - for the both of us .. and hardwork that I will be putting in, all for the labor of LOVE! :)

CSK's been the sweetest thing of my life and through thick and thin we shall overcome challenges in life. I am truly very grateful for all the love he has given so abundantly, and always doing everything thinking about us, our little family. Have a happy happy day and more happy days to come!

Quality Time

So happy to be able to make it to ANA's field trip. Never got a chance to do this before (because of a f/t job) -- not because I dont have one now, but I have more control over my own time. I did realize all these back then, except, I couldn't do much about it but now I can, so I try to make it happen rather than selling my soul and giving out all the time to business/work. Balance is the key and I wanna keep reminding myself this! It keeps me happy too! By the way, what an exhausting trip anyway! And it carries on, I did not get to do much work all afternoon! Also, ANA gets very tired too .. and I hope to take her home earlier to give her a shower and freshen up. We also made an evening trip to watch Sling Shot at Tumon. I am really happy to be able to do all these for my little ANA.
