we welcome change, new beginnings, new hopes...with God as our light, our rock and our guide :) above are my tulips this year and two wild yellow dandelion flowers, pretty. and these dandelion leaves are excellent for chicken soups but it is the cultured ones though the leaves sold at the groceries, but it's similar although the artificially grown are more robust. if you have colds this is the trick, dandelion chicken soup, i got it from Martha Stewart. try it, it's very good. i guarantee you'll love it :) ***
Neil Diamond, California and Leila, my nursing schoolmate and friend. She introduced me to this singer, her favorite, when I went to visit her. No wonder, this man's voice is different, soulful penetrating and i say melancholic or sad as well, and i was hooked since then. I also liked his songs. A complete opposite to Elvis but i don't mind...and this singer loves kids, laughs. His "Sweet Caroline" song is dedicated to the late pres. John F. Kennedy's little daughter then, Caroline, he admitted and how about the "Shiloh" or "Shilo" song? Brad and Angelina's little girl. so i doubly like and love Neil for he loves kids and i adore little ones. they are whose minds are unadulterated, the ones whose hearts are still pure and do not know how to tell a lie...yet...but wait till they get older, laughs. the time when they ask you, "would you believe my words? i have an answer... yes or of course my dear... this if you're not Satan in disguise, hmn...but i think a much more intelligent answer will be ...it depends...let's flip the pages back of your life. the pages that showed us on how you acted in past circumstances...then the truth will set us free...err the truth that you can never hide :) then we'll go from there, fair? i think that is a good answer, laughs. oh well. our former actions are the means on how people judge and remember us in this life...so with this alone it is an incentive for us to act good and be good to other people in this universe...whether they be the high, the rich and the mighty or the downtrodden, the helpless and the poor...no matter...for it will be on our plate on how we showed our compassion, our mercy or our dark devil side...our inner selves will be revealed on these challenging circumstances. a test sort of that we unknowingly are taking as we travel the quiet or rough roads of our lives :) so now is my turn to ask the question...can you be believed? now answer me :)

and another question is...can we really love the things that we don't understand? a very tricky question, for how can your brain tells your heart to love a thing if your brain does not know or does not understand it in the first place? then there is a non comprehension problem here, a conflict in the mind. although there is an exception for me. I love God and His miracles which i don't understand on how He does them. so this is the only circumstance that i know of so far that i can love something that i don't understand :) how about you?

politics...a favorite topic of mine. but lately bec. of Hillary losing at this minute I'm just losing my interest in it too, laughs. I'm really wishing that it will be over soon, but not until November. why can just Obama wait for the next election? senority and experience should count somewhere, don't you think? now if he loses this year this if he'll be the democratic presidential nominee that will be a very hard burden to carry on this man's shoulders for the rest of his life. that with his soaring ambition, he had delivered another hell to his party and this country. "i told you so" will be the rhetoric. we just had fallen into that trap put up by the opposition camp, gosh! so I'm just too tired about politics now! i'd like the answer to my question of will race be a big factor in american politics? that are we ready for a black president? and my guess is i don't think so. not yet my friend and you can prove me wrong on this one, this November :)

and on air is Elvis right now. as usual the King of Rock and Roll never fails to mesmerize..."One Night" a nice theme song for you and your lady love or significant other. nice choice, i think so. although if it's me i'd like not 'one' but "all night" would you want that too? i bet you do...(^_~)...
