A Blessing

On weekends, when I'm home having all the time in the world, I'm always inspired by some little things that happen around me. For instance, when waking up early in the morning, the sounds of early birds which are always chirpy makes me feel so blessed being able to hear the music of nature that is so unique. They sing in a melody so sweet; the meanings known to themselves. They are so care-free; they are so happy!

Nature is always very close to my heart. I open the window of my bedroom and soft morning light gently lands on my skin. It's still very early when everyone else is still snoring in bed. In my little world, I love seeing everything around me. There's a hill near-by and oil palm trees look so soldier-like lining up in straight rows. The lush of green gives some kind of therapy to a tired mind after a whole week of draining the energy for what keeps me alive - work.

The cockerels from the near-by coop are also taking part in the morning's orchestra, producing some kind of energy that boosts me to feel today is another fruitful day. It may not be so but I am already feeling good!

Oh! The morning breeze makes those banana's leaves sway like petite dancers. At the back yard, my rambutan fruit trees are making me proud because they are now bearing lots of rambutans. Rambutans are tropical fruits which are round in shape, the size of a ping pong ball, hairy skins and the flesh is so juicy and sweet, white in color. The skins differ; some are red, some yellow.

How could  I not be spell-bound by many things amazing, beautiful and unexplained in my little mind, around my little world? How could I not wish this nature's beauty to last forever? How could I not sigh when the hills near-by are flattened and up goes the steel poles and my heart breaks for my little friends without a place call home?

I wish to hear the birds sing an endless song. I wish those hills to stay majestic. I wish the sun to stay gentle on my skin without biting me hard. I wish the world to stay greener.

Refreshing

In the morning of Monday,

Greeted by the sunshine so sunny,

A sweet smile curls to brighten up the day,

Fresh as morning glory, smiling sweetly,

Singing like a sun bird, so joyfully,

Wishing a day of no worry!

A Beautiful Poem Brings Back Sweet Memories

It is typical of me reading again some of the texts and notes used during my tertiary education.  I was going through my usual routine of arranging my books, magazines and files when I came across this beautiful poem in one of my old files. That was when I was a student years back. I forgot where I got it but I did mention, "I don't write this poem and I don't know who did. But I like it, as it shows how I feel towards friends."

I am against plagiarism and I made it clear at the side bar by saying "Plagiarism Is Unethical." Whoever wrote this poem and if it happens you read this, please let me know so that I can acknowledge and credit it or if you wish it be removed, I will immediately do so.

This poem has been in my file for so many years and I like every line which is so meaningful. Today, I am sharing it with all of you with credit to the unknown author.

If I could catch a rainbow,
I would do it just for you,
And share with you its beauty,
On the days you are feeling blue.

If I could build a mountain,
You could call your very own,
A place to find serenity,
A place to be alone.

If I could take your troubles,
I would toss them in the sea,
But all these things I am finding,
Are impossible for me.

I cannot find a mountain,
Or catch a rainbow fair,
But let me say what I know best,
A friend that's always there.


Isn't it beautiful? I really love this poem because it makes me feel friends are so close to my heart. Wherever you are my friends, I love you all for being my friends! *smile*

My Baby Turns 2!

Happy birthday, baby! My baby, "whom" I proudly named as Part And Parcel Of Life ... , was created on 21st August 2009. Today, she turns 2!

Today is indeed a significant day in my blogging life. I was quite hesitant at first to create a blog. But a friend had really been so good encouraging me to share stories and whatnot and told me to blog. From then on, I have been blogging but at one stage I didn't even log in for 4 months! Initially, my blog was so "quiet". I would have been the only one "roaming" around if not for the supportive friend who joined in and that's it!

My mood wasn't dampened though there were no other visitors. I kept on writing every now and then but not on a regular basis. It was about a year later I surfed for the world's bloggers sites and came across bloggers.com.  I visited the site several times and fell in love with it! I thought it would be great if I joined it and I'm glad now because I was taking the right step to move forward. Now, I have 465 followers there where as in this blog, the current number of followers are 174.  As of now, there are 164 posts published with 1922 comments and hits 28,237.

To my baby, I'm wishing you many successful journeys ahead and may you always be blessed with happiness in blogging!

 

A special mention:

1. To Abet of Kuching who had been very supportive.

    Thank you so much for showing me the way to blogging.

     I wish you and your beloved wife, the best in life!

2.  To all my visitors, followers and dear friends, you guys are simply awesome!

     Without you all, this blog would have been disappearing  from blogosphere.

     Thank you so much for all your visits and comments which I really appreciate.
