It's the Little Things

It's the Little Things

21 April 2016

This little park near where we live captured my heart since the first time I visited it.

The green grass on one side, and rocky and water on the other side.

The weather is getting warmer. The days are longer.

I picked her up after school and she reminded me of my promise: to try to build her a tent on a 2nd attempt. We found a new spot near the water where we can actually play near the water. It was just so lovely! We (pretend to) catch fish - red snapper that is - (and she doesn't forge to season them!), boil water, roast seaweed, and have a dinner.  :)

Sometimes, it's the little things like these that left me feeling grateful.

Video portraits

2nd mini film and the theme is video portrait.

So many things to learn in making just a mini film.

Note to self: music is still patchy, exposure and focus are still off (Lol!)...but I will continue to learn because learning new stuffs is always exciting!

Friends

Friends

it is not easy
when one of the security nets was torn away.

it is scary
not knowing what will come next and when.

part of me says things will be fine
part of me is worried as hell

how long this will last?
will i be ok?
will WE be ok?

but
i remain grateful
for friends who were there
when i shed tears
and stay after the tears went away

for friends who make me laugh
and offer not just comforting words
but also their hearts and hands...

Letters to My Daughter, February 2016

13 April 2016

Little pickle,

So much are going on this month. Baking, baking, venturing the city, baking, oh...and yes, a dance show!

But we also found some quiet time. Just us...under the blanket. Questions of the day, what are your highs and lows, stooooory, daily hugs and joke...some things that are just us and belong to just us.

These little things are my most favorite (well, you'd better like them too!) and I'm so grateful that our bond is only growing stronger and these little things bring us closer.

Sooner or later you'll find your independence. And that's expected. But I do hope that no matter what, our "us" will forever be our always.

I love you,
Bun-bun

Letters to My Daughter, January 2016

I am  your mother

You are my child.

I am your quiet place,
You are my wild.

I am your calm face,
You are my giggle.

I am your wait,
You are my wiggle.

I am your dinner,
You are my chocolate cake.

I am your bed time,
You are my wide awake.

I am your lullaby,
You are my peek-a-boo

I am your good night kiss,
You are my "I love you..."

Here's to a New Year, more adventure, more experience, more skills, more wild, more travelling, more cuddles, more hugs, lots of more...
