Sappy romantic songs

They Long to Be Close to You by The Carpenters
Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be close to you.
Why do stars fall down from the sky every time you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be close to you
On the day that you were born the angels got together
and decided to create a dream come true.
So they sprinkled moon-dust in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue.
That is why all the girls in town follow you all around.
Just like me, they long to be close to you

Oompa lumpa and NC and EFG

This is my first post with pix. I do not like to post personal pictures, but I think these pix from yahoo search will be alright. This weekend promises to be sensational because we are again going to our 5* Jardiniere, then to the SF Symphony, starring Natalie Cole. But before that is E's birthday and we are having a cool pool party for his friends, of course, his favorite cousine is invited. For Sunday outing we are going to see the oompa lumpas in Charlie n the Chocolat Factory movie. I first saw this movie as a kid, where Gene Wilder is Willa Wonka and the kid who played Charlie is so convincing. Lets see how this one compares. The movie reminds me of Candyland game, the Wizard of Oz munchkins, and the wholesomeness of Mary Poppins and Peter Pan. Not only are the latest and modern technology applied in this movie but also funky retro accessories like white spectacles. Maybe I should go find some of those before the show.

The Prayer takes my breathe away

"The Prayer"
I pray you'll be our eyes
And watch us where we go
And help us to be wise
In times when we don't know
Let this be our prayer
As we go our way
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your Grace
To a place where we'll be safe
La luce che tu dai
I pray we'll find your light
Nel cuore restera
And hold it in our hearts
A ricordarci che
When stars go out each night
L'eterna stella sei
Nella mia preghiera
Let this be our prayer
Quanta fede c'e
When shadows fill our day
Lead us to a place
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
Sogniamo un mondo senza piu violenza
Un mondo di giustizia e di speranza
Ognuno dia la mano al suo vicino
Simbolo di pace e di fraternita
La forza che ci dai
We ask that life be kind
E'il desiderio che
And watch us from above
Ognuno trovi amore
We hope each soul will find
Intorno e dentro a se
Another soul to love
Let this be our prayer
Let this be our prayer
Just like every child
Just like every child
Needs to find a place,
Guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
E la fede cheHai acceso in noi
Sento che ci salvera

Broadway Bravo!

This past weekend was fantastic! (Well, the fact that my psyche is healthy and upbeat is a good sign). We went out to see two movies on Friday nite jsut bec I wanted to ...Fantastic Four and War of the Worlds. Saturday was shopping and sewing wrap up. I bought my guy a shirt and tie, and sewed an oriental dress to match his color scheme. I added little touches like dragonfly buttons and a underneath lining of yellow mango to my dress. I must admit I was stunning in my Asian two piece, with a little skin expose around the waist, green heels, jade earrings, long nails and hair do. We had dinner at the Jardiniere; the duck entree is sooo perfect, chased down with a glass of apple martini. As the evening rolled in, off to the symphony we went. The performance was absolutely magnificent. Three singers and the SF orchestra belting Broadway hits. It ended with Phantom of the Opera theme song. For a nitecap we had strawberry and creme dessert with glasses of champagne.

Sunday was spent relaxing and reading in bed-Madame Albright and Hotel Rwanda; organizing stuff, and then having lunch with my Vn priest at Vung Tau in San Jose before visiting Frys. He pops into my life once or twice a year to check on my soul and keep me on my toes; He is my guardian angel. We chat about life and I am reminded that I must be accountable for my actions. Am I leading a healthy and holy life?? I work, I dont sleep around, I focus on family life, I try out new hobbies/sports, cook gourmet, travel and study. But once awhile I get naughty or at least think about it. What is a girl going to do for the next 30 years? Not be tempted? I am human. Overall I lead a good life. I try to set good examples for others, and stay true to my inner being, to be an instrument of faith and hope and love for others. I believe in the goodness of others, the virtues of honesty and faith in greater power.

Sunday nite was church service where the sermon was about communication in relationships. It brings us closer emotionally, it informs us. We call and talk simply without purpose. To spend time and energy with someone and open up our own horizon. We develop relationships and enrich our lives with God and persons in our lives.
