Love? I will tell you what it is to love!
It is to build with human hearts a shrine,
Where hope sits brooding like a beauteous dove,
Where time seems young, and life a thing divine.

~Charles Swain

One of those days where i actually feel that it is great to be alive.

`Grey`s Anatomy` as a doctor told me is a rather thick and heavy book that they used as a pillow. I thought how wonderfully ironic

I think the reason behind my obsession with Meredith and her friends is that i believe that there is a little of us in them.

My favorite character is Cristina. I think she is brutal and unemotional but then i guess deep inside we or rather i wish that sometimes i can be as honest as she is.

It is not surprising however that i am most like Izzie, who would put her friends before another thing.

Meredith, Felicity, Carrie- Character`s whom you can identify with , a little fragile, a little smart. A little insane and 100% real (well some of it`s real).

Grey`s not only delivers on the screenplay but the music is great as the punchlines cool. As Felicity is obsessed with Scott, Carrie`s fashion, Grey`s is medicine.

So i cannot wait to see what happens in the end of it all

So then what has this all have to do with love? Well, if in the shows love is complex, crazy and inconstant, then i`ll take life`s take in love, cause every day i learn i try to love a little more with more faith and alot of hope.

Happy Birthday D, No writer can recreate the craziness, fuzziness and madness of the love that we have. Many more to come.

Keep Loving because of.
Keep loving in spite of.
Keep loving when to love is most difficult.
Keep loving when you have no strength.
Keep loving because Jesus loves you
in good times and bad
on mountain tops, in valleys.
When all else fails,
keep on loving.
~ Anita Corrine Donhihue

"There can never be enough ` i love you`s ` in our lives,
There can never be enough of your laughter & goofiness,
There can never be enough of your brillant mind
or your hugs and kisses so divine.
I love you now,
later and always till eternity
God willing."
~ For my D from me.

Grey`s Anatomy, Prison Break. There`s where i have been getting my fix lately. Its difficult getting stuff here in Japan when they are still airing the last season of friends on their satellite.

Its a good thing that i am having a summer break till Sept, so that i can indulge in my love for all things serials…

I am looking forward to teaching the little kiddies and bible study class though cos i need  my fix of sweetness and wisdom.

Jo is leaving our singapore (read not tai-tai`s ) wives club tomorrow….i shall and will miss her, her and she aloofness that is infectious.

I remember asking her what we should name our group of singapore wives in japan. BaW?- Bankers and Wives ( lots of bankers here) for me DaW? - Diplomat and Wives?  What a laugh. I`ll miss you Jo. Take care and have a blessed trip back. See you really soon.

Today i met D`s new intern, she is want i think an outstanding president scholar would be. Smart, sweet and witty.She is 21. Looking at her i thought "hey i am not that much older.. wait a min i am..i`m like 8years older."

When i was 21, i had been flying for 2 years. Gosh those years seem light years away. Scary and empowering to recall, yet those were the times or height of my life or fitness. I do like my mellowed and mushy self now though. Wisdom and age can grow a person.

And we never cease to learn as we age with grace of cause.

I have a friend that has been talking to me about her problems as  a divorcée  in Japan. At first it seemed easy to just listen, but then i started to think that her behavior was childish and that i am not a mother to her.

Thinking back i know that i had been the self centered one , so i decided that i would continue to encourage her and learn to let go of her sadness and loneliness to the Lord.

Okie I will try to write more and update. Miss my Island! Miss my Home, looking forward to November.

"A gentle answer turns away Wrath,
but a harsh word stirs up anger.
The tongue of the wise commends knowledge,
but the mouth of the fool gushes folly……

~ Proverbs 15 :1-4, 13"

Wisdom from the wise that i try to follow.;)

Ps+ I`ll try to upload some pics have to adjust the memory space.
