you've got mail

If Vincent Van Gogh has Theo..to whom he confides his deepest thoughts & emotions in his art & his life through his letters to him.

I do have that too.. I am as grateful and overwhelmingly blessed to have my godfather, my second Dad who is far across the globe but still makes me feel he is just by far a shoulder to reach out. He knows something wrong when i am quiet with my letters for him...He would always say.."mary jane you're tooooo quiet.. how are you doing? "...

Today is one of those so many countless moments where I am always grateful and amazingly blessed. A letter from Dad is like my light house in my everyday sailing in the big ocean of life. His words of wisdom are my guiding light. 

I am just so happy today..overwhelmingly happy.. came home early morning after a crazy day at work. But nevertheless i call it a day with a smile in my heart...You've got mail..from Dad..

Dad Bas you are an earth angel to me.. :-)

goedenacth..

kiss from a rose

Lovely morning it is on my way home from a long day at work... My pink rose i just bought yesterday is just as fresh as she was then. Took photos of it yesterday as soon as i got home and just thought of sharing it here..

it's actually a red & pink one..the red goes to mum's altar..

pink one for my room. Just so lovely to see a flower in my room...

 

they always make me smile.. I would easily be charmed by their beauty... these are the little things that mean the most in my life... to see it's beauty..it's priceless...

Dit prachtige moment moeten we keosteren...  

those little things

 

It was a long day at work & head home on a sunny Wednesday morning. I drop by to a small market to shop a bit..food that is..  Working on graveyard shifts has it's good sides & not so good sides.. well good side is you get to have those fresh fish to cook for meal.. fresh fruits.. and such lovely fresh flowers. :-) 

I was totally in love with it's beauty and had so much fun taking pictures of it. That i just wish to share it here on my blog.

Isn't it lovely to start your morning??
  A message from my man across the miles, 
a shot of red wine, 
and these lovely flowers... 

what a wonderful moment that was for me to call it a day! 

It's the simple things in life that makes it fun & worthwhile!  :-)  

Today

Monday here it comes... a new start for the week! Goede middag! :-) I am grateful for today i think I am picking up some zest for my art. For the past months it has been a bit of a struggle for me to work on my art stuff..like a total stranger wandering. Talking of artist moody swings..

Today i guess..was a lovely time for me and my art...

Yep! I snap out of it!! Thank you Dad.. :-) 

I look forward for work later on..yeah! let's get the ball rolling! Keep my fingers crossed this will be a whole lot of fun & challenging week for me. But hey ho!Today i shall be h a p p y! :-)

Een goede dag verder!! 

lucky

Whoo hoo hooo! Sunday weekend..it's the new beginning of the year for our Chinese brothers all around the globe. Gong Hey Fat Choi! and well if it's too much being said by everyone Happy Valentines Day.. :-)

I was in this small convenient store and well pretty much a long line on the way to the counter. Just as it was turn already and this chap (the bagger) crack on a joke maybe for everyone or for that lady who was carrying a handful of chocolates going to the counter or he is talking to the lady cashier. "How lucky all these women today..Valentines day.. chocolates & cake.."...he could have add a dozen of roses!  I just made laugh at it...well at least everyone was.  

My best friend Gee .. a week before this red hearts holiday had a greeting card prepared for his husband. We were on this bookstore looking for the best card for his dearest Kisokie. She gave it to Kei the morning before V-day served with home sweet cooking breakfast. How sweet it is! Should i say..."How lucky all these men are.."! 

Gee asked me yesterday what's my plan celebrating V-day. I said all alone again..naturally... 
But it doesn't mean i am not lucky..and  i hate valentines day.. it's just like going through every days that i should live with and be happy! Just as I am indulging myself now with Vanilla Almond ice cream treat..Cheers to myself and to those who are in l o v e with everything in l i f e ! :-)

love theme
