pogiBoy’s Spaceship

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

This is pogiBoy’s Spaceship drawn in his dad’s Father’s Day card. And yes, that’s my chicken-scratch (kinahig ng manok) handwriting.

My 3-year old loves to doodle but mostly only circles and lines, in fact even his square looks like a circle. Nope he’s no Van Gogh (yet), perhaps he’ll become an abstract painter?

on garages and rooms

Let’s face it we’re all suckers for space. We want space when we’re sitting or standing in the crowded train and we all want more space at home. If you’re lucky enough to have a garage and then I’m sure you’ve been trying to use it for something else other than parking your car. Actually even with my little shed at the back garden, I have been wanting (read: nagging) my husband to buy some metal pegboard to organise it a little. If he ever gets around to actually doing that, then I can enter the shed with a less trepidation.

Maya Angelou on growing older

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

In keeping with my store of noteworthy forwarded emails, here’s another nice one sent to me recently.

==================
In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70+ birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was exciting.

Regarding body changes she said there were many, occurring every day…like her breasts.They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first.

The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such a simple and honest woman, with so much wisdom in her words!

Maya Angelou said these:

“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.”
“I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.”
“I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life.”
“I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as “making a life”"
“I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.”
“I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back.”
“I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.”
“I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.”
“I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.”
“I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn.”
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

==================
I chopped off the part where it says “send this to a million people or you will turn into a toad”.
