By now you probably have heard of this ‘Cinderella’ story… but this video is still really enjoyable to watch! (Thanks for sending me, Mary-Ann!) ************* Have been having 14-hr long days of non-stop activities this week, all wedding and renovation related. Tired beyond belief! Very appreciative of friends who have been giving advice and extending […]

The Baby Bandwagon
Guess what? At my wedding, TWO of my dearest friends will be there with big tummies! I can’t announce the new name yet until she informs all her family, but I’m super excited and happy for her! And I’m rather envious at the new Mummy Club that these two dears have formed. It would be […]
Something to pray about
This is on Sacred Space this week: In the Northern hemisphere this week includes the longest day of the year, a time to look backwards and forwards, a central date. On such a day, “halfway through life’s journey”, Dante started his ‘Divina Commedia’ with the words, “Nel mezzo del camin di nostra vita.” (“How do […]

I Miss Toronto
It’s not a terrible kind of miss… partly cos I’ve been plunged into lots of activities since getting back. And it’s so great to see my family again, and to sayang my poor little injured brother and laugh at his corny jokes. But I find myself talking about Toronto all the time. The food… the […]
I'm… Home.
Yeah, I’m back in more ways than one. My blog’s up again! (Thank you Steve and the rest of the Negimaki team!) ************** The travel this time was a huge hassle. Due to some problems at the Continental Airlines side, we almost couldn’t catch our flight to Newark. And then our flight to Newark was […]
